Abstract
This Review Study in Myanmar is the first phase of a 2-phased project: Phase 1 – Review study to identify and comment on the existing specifications and standards and Phase 2 – Development of improved rural road standards and specifications and design guidelines.
This study is managed and funded by AsCAP on behalf of the Department of Rural Road Development (DRRD) in the Ministry of Construction. The aim is to develop a Myanmar specific Design Manual with appropriate low volume rural road standards and specifications. The purpose of this report is to record the proceedings of the Review Workshop held in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar, on 24 January 2018. The workshop presented the findings of the review of existing standards and specifications, discussed the need for diversification and further refinement of standards and specifications and outlined the way forward, towards the development of a Design Manual.
