THIS RED EARTH IS WHY YOUR ROAD CAN LAST FOR YEARS.
What youβre seeing is SUBGRADE PREPARATION β the foundation of a durable pavement structure. Before asphalt ever reaches the surface, the ground beneath must be engineered correctly.
πΉ 1. EARTHWORKS & GRADING
The natural ground is cut, filled, shaped and graded to the required formation level and crossfall, ensuring proper drainage and preventing water from ponding on the pavement.
πΉ 2. MOISTURE CONTROL & COMPACTION
The selected material is moisture-conditioned and compacted in controlled layers to achieve the specified density. Field Density Tests are then used to verify the achieved compaction against the laboratory Proctor reference.
πΉ 3. DRAINAGE & WATER CONTROL
Water is one of the biggest threats to pavement performance. Proper crossfall, side drains and drainage structures help keep water away from the pavement layers.
πΉ 4. FOUNDATION FOR THE PAVEMENT
Once the formation is approved, the pavement structure can proceed β sub-base β base course β prime coat β asphalt concrete.
β Poor subgrade preparation = settlement, deformation and premature potholes.
β
Proper preparation = stability, durability and better pavement performance.
THE UNIROCK WAY;
At Unirock Construction Ltd, we don't rush to the asphalt.
We build the foundation right first β because quality starts beneath the surface.
We don't just build. We build excellence.
