 Company Profile

The Public Works Department establish in

the year 1854. At that time PWD was
responsible for the construction of
roads,buildings,railways as well as flood
control,irrigation and military works.The
organizations construction works is directly
connected to the national programme of
development and reconstruction.

 INTRODUCT
PAVEMENT-
ION
Pavement is load
bearing and load distributery
component of a road.

PURPOSE OF PAVEMENT-

1. Load support.
2. Smoothness.
3. Drainage.
4. All weather operation.
5. Direction and guidance.
 TYPES OF PAVEMENT STRUCTURE

1. Flexible Pavement. (Hot mix asphalt (HMA)

pavements)

2. Rigid Pavement. (Portland cement concrete (PCC)

pavements)
 Components of flexible
pavement.

1. Soil Subgrade.
2. Sub Base Course.
3. Base Course.
4. Surface Course.
 Construction of Subgrade

Materials- Selected Soil , Moorum , Gravel , Aggregate

maximum 50 mm.

Construction Method

The subgrade is constructed by spreading the loose soil and

compacting the same at optimum moisture content of the
soil in layer.

The maximum compacted thickness of each layer is

generally limited to 200 mm as per MORTH.
 Construction of Sub base
Course (GSB)
Material used- Crushed stone Aggregates,
Gravel, Coarse sand , Selected soil with less
fine and low plasticity.

CONSTRUCTION METHOD GSB layer is

constructed on the top of the prepared
subgrade . The sub-base material is spread to
uniform thickness and spesific cross slope .
Then the moisture content of the material is
checked and additional quantity of water
required to bring up to the optimum moisture
content is sprinkled at a uniform rate. The
 Construction of base Course
(wet mix macadam)
Material used- Hard crushed aggregates
and adequate proportion of water mixed
thoroughly in a mixing plant.

prepared in a mixing plant.
The WMM mix is transported to the site
and spread using self propelled type paver
finisher machine.
WMM layer is compacted using a vibratory
roller of minimum static weight of 10
tonnes.and compacted thickness in less
than 200mm. After the WMM layer is dried

 Construction of Bituminous
Pavement layers

Three types of bituminous layers-

1. Bituminous Macadam.
2. Penetration Macadam.
3. Bult up spray Grout.
 Bituminous Macadam

It consist of crushed aggregate and bituminous

binder heated and mixed in a hot mix plant at
specified temperature , transported to the
construction site, laid with a mechanical pawer
and compacted by roller.

Material used : Bitumen binder of grade VG

-30,20 and Max size of aggregate 50mm.
Bituminous Penetration Macadam Base
Course

The coarse aggregate of specified size

are first spread and compacted well in
dry state. Compected thickness 50-75
mm. After compacting of dry aggregates,
hot bituminous binder of specified
grade is spread in large quantity on the
top of this layer. Filling up a part of void
and binding by key aggregate.
 Bult up spray grout
base course
It consist of a two layer composite construction
of compacted crushed stone aggregate with
bituminous binder applied after each layer and
key aggregate placed on the top surface of the
second layer.
