👉Steps in Concrete Road Construction
1. Site Survey & Marking
- Survey the area and mark boundaries.
- Trench depth: 8–12 inches.
2. Excavation
- Dig the marked area using excavators.
- Trench width: 200–10 mm.
3. Laying Sub-Base
- Place sub-base material (gravel/sand).
- Compact for stability.
4. Placing Forms & Steel Reinforcement
- Install formwork.
- Lay steel reinforcement grids.
5. Mixing Concrete
- Prepare concrete at batching plant.
- Ensure correct mix ratio.
6. Pouring & Spreading Concrete
- Pour concrete from mixer truck.
- Spread evenly across the surface.
7. Vibrating, Leveling & Finishing
- Use vibrators to remove air voids.
- Level and finish the surface.
8. Joints & Texturing
- Cut expansion joints.
- Apply surface texturing for grip.
9. Curing Concrete
- Keep surface moist for strength gain.
- Road opened after curing period
