New Development Works

As you have shown this type of Contract in basic ,simple terms,is a headache.You cannot start at the beginning and finish at the end. You will start where ever you can, switch things around and do a bit more. From what you have shown the person who has planned the actual works is doing a pretty good job, in my opinion.When all the patches meet up you are nearly there. The new layout will be fully operational.Just when everyone thinks it is finished out come the cones again for the final layer, the surface course. For durability this layer should be laid with as few joints as possible. The other problem you have with this type of project is called the public. Changes in layout, no matter how well signed, will cause confusion and problems in the early days especially to the regular driver. The plus side of this contract is that you are working from a hard surface, the existing layout, mud is very limited,and no dust. In an earlier review you made comment regarding second hand materials. Recycled materials (secondary aggregates) are an important part of the construction industry. These recycled materials can be incorporated into permanent new works or as temporary works needed for the construction of the permanent ones. This is just a brief insight of the project from one who has worked on the other side of the cones. Keep the weekly review coming.
