Our work
Overview
Every road starts with the ground beneath it. We clear the site, cut and fill to the levels in the drawings, and build the embankments and subgrade for roads, highways and bridge approaches.
An embankment is built in layers. Each layer is spread, brought to the right moisture, compacted by roller and tested for density before the next one goes down, so that the finished road does not settle.
What the work covers
Everything below the pavement, from clearing the site to the finished subgrade.
Clearing and grubbing: removing vegetation, roots and topsoil so that the work rests on firm ground.
Cutting through high ground to the road levels, and digging trenches for drains and culverts.
Earth built up in compacted layers to raise the road above flood and drainage levels.
The top of the embankment, made of selected earth and compacted harder, to carry the pavement.
How an embankment is built
An embankment is more than a pile of earth. Each layer is placed, watered and rolled to a set density, and the top is finished to carry the pavement.
The top of the embankment, compacted harder for the pavement above.
Placed in thin layers, each rolled and tested before the next.
Builds up the height of the road, layer by layer.
The natural ground after the topsoil is removed and the surface compacted.
The ground the embankment stands on.
Quality
Earthwork is usually specified by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Specifications for Road and Bridge Works. We build to the drawings and the specification in each contract.
Every layer is tested against the specification before the next one goes down, and the results are kept for the client's engineer.
Questions
Thin layers can be compacted all the way through. A thick layer compacted only at the top would settle later and crack the road above it.
The top part of the embankment, built from selected earth and compacted harder than the layers below, on which the pavement layers are laid.
Each layer is tested for field density and moisture against the specification before the next layer is placed, and the results are recorded.
