Introduction

Romans are the pioneer engineers in this field. They started construction of roads for animal carts with stone Pavements.  Today different materials are used for getting a hard durable surface to use as roads. In a country the roads are made for conveying men and materials like flow of blood through the veins in a human body. Road construction

Road Project

It means planning, designing, and construction of a new road, connecting two terminus points. In a remote village we had to construct a road. It begins from a road, to that end there are some small cottages. They did not allow us to start the work. Then we went to the other end and started the work, one of the land owner raise a problem. he said there would be deep cutting in the front of his house. Actually even the present cutting could be halved. I explained it to him, and he agreed. Road construction. Finally we came to first end, and had given compensation to the cottage people. Project is finished.

Road Specifications

The standard according to which engineering structures are constructed is called specifications. Writing specifications needed skills. The specifications for the consolidations of stone ballast are as follows. Before spreading stone metals the old metaled surface shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt. The holes should be roughly filled. The whole old surface is roughened. The stone metal shall spread evenly over the surface true to the template. The metal shall be clearly hand- packed, the bigger size metals shall be placed below smaller ones. No organic materials shall be spread. Road construction. The metal shall be rolled with road roller. No lines of the roller are left on the surface. After this blinding material be spread evenly over the whole surface, only just fill all interstices. The blinding materials shall not contain clay or organic matter.

Specification for Laying Soling

Soling shall be provided when the sub grade is not hard. Stone boulders are used as soling. The width of soling shall be 30 cm more than the carriage way. The thickness of soling shall be 15cm if it is stone boulders.
Before laying the soling coat, the sub-grade should be thoroughly leveled. Sub-grade should be hard and well compacted and no soft patches or depressions are there. The soling shall then be dry rolled with a road roller. If water logging is present proper drainage shall be provided. Water bound macadam road method is suitable for water logged areas. Road construction
