Method Statement Sub Base & Road Base

This method statement describes the process for placing subbase and roadbase for a construction project. It outlines 3 key steps: 1) placing the lower subbase which involves shaping and compacting the subgrade, placing and compacting the subbase material in layers; 2) placing the upper subbase using a similar process; and 3) placing the road base and wet mix macadam by compacting it to the required thickness, shape, grade and tolerances as specified in the drawings. Quality control measures like moisture content checks and level checks using control pegs are also described.
