Newsletter of the Uganda Association of Consulting Engineers | February 2020

Newsletter 2020 Editor’s NOTE t is said and superstitiously believed by many that “a good beginning makes a bad ending”. However, in the natural principle of “you reap what you sow”, we should be able to also believe that a Igood beginning should result into a good ending. We, therefore at UACE, through our Newsletter – early year issue; want to be part of your beginning this year of our Lord 2020 be it a good one or a bad one so far and we trust that we shall be around to share with you in whatever this year brings with it.

Our early year issue is a brief one for you our dear reader to quickly run through as you get your annual planner ready and prepare for this new year that has begun. We have, herein a few topical articles on road drainage, multi-modal transport systems with emphasis on non-motorized transport (NMT) and a few tips on health, safety and environment in construction.

We have however noticeably written and reported substantially on our number one mandate – to be the local representative of and as such adhere to the professional standards, guidelines and ethics propagated by the global International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC). Our association with FIDIC started and was endorsed by the Government of the Republic of Uganda way back in 1993 and consequently we have been part of the annual FIDIC International Conferences held rotationally in FIDIC’s 104 member countries, the FIDIC Contract Users Conferences held annually and the FIDIC regional groupings Conferences on Infrastructure and Development. Last year in May, we prepared and hosted our biggest ever international conference and that was the FIDIC- GAMA 2019 Annual Infrastructure Conference. Our sincere thanks to the Government of the Republic of Uganda for the oversight and support.

Finally, and in a special way we want to thank the contributors to this issue. We treasure and cherish and value the time you input to write these articles for our dear readers to muse on. Thank you so much.

To our dear readers – enjoy the read!

Wishing you all a year of attainment and great exploits.

May the One who reigns above all bless the works of our hands this year 2020. Eng. Nsimbe Joseph UACE Secretary General 2 UACE NEWSLETTER UACE Council Members and Secretariat 2019/2020

It is known to us that the district roads this comes about and how it has led to wastage of resources in terms of funds, materials and time.

Drainage road structures that are basically known and used by us in the road infrastructure include; Culvert lines; vented drifts; Bridges and box culverts.

The major use of these structures is carry water from one side of the road to the other and this is known to everyone.

Because of this; there is a big assumption that the laying, location and construction can be done by everyone without an input of experienced Engineers.

The above structures have different sizes and these depend on what volumes of flow they are to carry; the concept is known to both the technical and non- technical; the technical are able to calculate and determine the volume of the flow; however the non-technical are not capable of doing that.
