Pavement performance begins long before traffic opens. It starts with compaction quality. Field Density Test (FDT) is the backbone of compaction control in highway construction, ensuring that each layer achieves the density required for long-term performance.
Without proper field density, even the best materials and designs can fail prematurely.

Clearing and Grubbing is the first activity before earthworks. It covers removal and disposal of vegetation including trees (up to 300 mm girth), bushes, shrubs, stumps, roots, grass, weeds, rubbish and top organic soil up to 150 mm thick. The scope includes draining stagnant water, backfilling pits created by uprooting trees and compacting to required density as per MoRTH Clause 305.3.4.
