METHOD OF STATEMENT PAVEMENT WORKS

WORK INSTRUCTION FOR PAVEMENT WORKS

OBJECTIVE
To outline the work instruction by which Pavement works are carried out.

SCOPE
The work instruction shall apply for all building and civil engineering projects.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Site Agent, Site Supervisor & Land Surveyor MATERIALS Sand, Quarry-dust,
crusher run, bitumen prime coat / tack coat, asphaltic concrete premix.

HANDLING AND STORAGE OF MATERIALS

a) Handling : Tipper truck
b) Storage : Stock piles at the storage yard when necessary.

PLANT, MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT

Motor grader, roller, tipper truck, back pusher, paver, tire roller, tandem roller,
etc. where applicable.

PREPARATION OF ROAD FORMATION

Step 1 Obtain relevant approved construction drawings from Consultant /
Engineer
Step 2 Set out the road change for certain equal interval. Offset the centerline
change left and right side.

Step 3 Mark the offset point with timber / steel pegging and mark the propose
level of the road on the peg.
Step 4 If any, excavate the soft material and replace with suitable material and
compact with roller.
Step 5 Cut the formation level and grade to the propose level. Check the levels by
referring to the offset peg.
Step 6 Roll and compact properly and carry out field density test and CBR test on
the sub-grade level as per specification.
Step 7 Carry out joint inspection with Subcontractor on the formation level.

PREPARATION OF ROAD SUB-BASE

Step 1 Lay quarry dust or sands on the sub-grade level to the required thickness
as specification and compact roller.
Step 2 Carry out field test and CBR test on the sub-base as per specification.
Step 3 Carry out joint inspection with Subcontractor on the sub-base level.

PREPARATION OF ROAD BASE

Step 1 Lay crusher run on top of sub-base and compact by the roller. The
thickness for any layer is according to specification.
Step 2 Carry out field density test and CBR test on the road base as per
specification if required.
Step 3 Carry out joint inspection with Subcontractor on the road base. Use
relevant form to check on the thickness before proceeded to next stage.
Note: On normal warm day, watering may be required to the entire area where
sub-base and road base is laid. This is to prevent area from being dust which may
be hazardous to health and safety and to get better compaction as well.

PREPARATION OF PREMIX WORK

Binder Course
Step 1 Once the road base level is achieved and well compacted, sweep the
surface with power broom or equivalent to remove dust on the surface.
Step 2 Spray a layer of bitumen prime coat on the approved surface. Let the
prime coat set for 12 hours as per specification requirement.
Step 3 Lay binder course premix on top of the prime coat layer using paver /
machine.
Step 4 For each layer of premix, compaction by tandem roller shall be done and
follow up by tyre roller (refer to project specification)

Wearing Course Refer to work instruction of binder course above.
