Summary

Crisis--war, natural disasters, or economic collapse cause abrupt damage within a country which often results in destruction of infrastructure including roads. Further there are people without employment but lacking skills to help repair the infrastructure. This study looks at the training model to rehabilitate the workforce and roads in one process. A model for training developed. It was verified against the ILO, RS Means and a Lansing Michigan contractor for productivities and calibrated similar to the Navy Seabees model used in Iraq. The training model (Restoring U Training Model) was then applied to the situation and the potential productivities were compared to the actual. The RUTM is focused on a training the unskilled available workforce in a training session the takes place before the work day begins. The learning is then immediately applied in the field. The model verifies using a standard learning curve, there is potential time saves available in feeder road construction by training unskilled laborers with the RUTM.
