Standard paving procedure start from the lower side of the carriageway towards the high side. All pavement layers shall have executed in full compliance with Standard & Specifications for Roadworks.
The pavement layer will be constantly checked ensuring that the pavement layer depth is achieved and maintained.

The finished level will then be checked and passed off prior to the next layer being laid.
