Low Volume Rural Road Environmentally Optimised Design Manual

The objective of this project was to relate the new Laos LVRR Standards and Specifications to the road design process using an EOD approach. This was done by elaborating EOD guidelines targeted for Laos engineers in the field.

The manual:

  1. Links LVRR design procedures to the standards and specifications;
  2. Focuses the allocation of scarce resources in the most efficient and sustainable manner;
  3. Is user friendly and written in English and Laos languages; and,
  4. Was tested for Laos conditions.
