sufficiently braced
Check vertical and
horizontal alignment of all
forms
Perform depth checks

(F)Inspections
CONCRETE PLACEMENT
Prior to placement ensure
appropriate expansion joints
Testing for slump and air
Rate:
Make control/lab cylinders
Ensure concrete is cured
properly and in accordance with
approved method.
Verify temperatures, dispatch

FINAL INSPECTIONS
Ensure all forms are removed
Verify all laboratory cylinder
breaks are in compliance
Verify line and grade.
Straight edge joints for
compliance
Perform an overall visual
inspection of the pavement
surface condition, condition of
joint material etc

Any Queries??
Thank You

Precast Concrete Pavement

Precast concrete pavement eliminates the need
for on-site cure time by using prefabricated
concrete panels. The panels are made at a
specialized pre-casting facility ahead of time, then
hauled to the construction site and installed as
needed. The result is a pavement that can be
opened to traffic almost immediately after panel
installation, without compromising the durability
and long-term performance of the pavement
Precast concrete has long been a proven as
durable pavement, providing 30 years of service
life or longer with minimal maintenance.

Continuous Concrete Pavement

Benefits from using unreinforced concrete
slabs are lower construction cost with the
saving on mesh reinforcement and the
potential for continuous pouring.
The contraction joints of unreinforced
concrete slabs should be relatively
maintenance free.

Roller Compacted Concrete

Roller-compacted concrete, or RCC, takes its name from the
construction method used to build it. It's placed with conventional or
high-density asphalt paving equipment, then compacted with rollers.
RCC has the same basic ingredient as conventional concrete: cement,
water, and aggregates, such as gravel or crushed stone.

But unlike conventional concrete, it's a drier mixstiff enough to be

compacted by vibratory rollers. Typically, RCC is constructed without
joints. It needs neither forms nor finishing, nor does it contain dowels or
steel reinforcing.
Withstands extremely heavy loads, no rutting.
Will not deteriorate from spills of fuel or hydraulic leaks.
Will not soften when exposed to high temperatures.
Open to traffic quickly.
No special equipment needed.
These characteristics make RCC simple, fast, and economical.

Continuously Reinforced Concrete

Pavement
Type of Portland cement concrete pavement
reinforced with steel re-bars throughout its length
The use of continuous reinforcement generates
the random cracks in the pavement, while
obviating the need for transverse contraction joints
that appear prone to joint-related distresses and
failures. The cracks can be held tightly by the
reinforcement and should be of no concern so
long as they are uniformly spaced, maintaining the
structural integrity of the pavement.
The elimination of transverse contraction joints
can offer high riding quality
