1. Setout Stage: CAD Drawing with Road and Kerb Lines
- This initial stage involves detailed CAD drawings that outline the planned layout of roads and kerb lines. These drawings serve as the blueprint for the construction process, ensuring precise alignment and design accuracy.​
2. Setting Out with Total Station: Marking Kerb Positions
- Utilizing a total station, this phase focuses on accurately transferring the CAD design onto the construction site. The total station allows for precise marking of kerb positions, ensuring that the physical construction aligns perfectly with the planned design.​
3. Kerb Installation and Stone Compaction
- In this stage, kerb stones are installed along the marked positions, followed by the compaction of the surrounding stone base. This process establishes a stable and durable foundation for the road or pathway.​
4. Level Verification: Checking Heights with Dips
- After the stone base is laid, it’s essential to verify that the heights and levels conform to the design specifications. This is achieved by measuring the dips in the surface and making necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth and accurate final surface.​
5. Final Stage: Grasscrete Layby with Installed Grasscrete Blocks
- The final stage involves the installation of Grasscrete blocks, an environmentally friendly paving solution that allows grass to grow through the concrete, creating a permeable surface. This stage not only completes the construction but also enhances the site’s sustainability and aesthetics.​
Process Overview:
- Setout: Utilize CAD drawings to plan and mark the exact locations for roads and kerbs, ensuring precision in the initial stages.​
- Lay Kerbs: Install kerb stones along the designated lines, maintaining alignment and stability as per the design specifications.​
- Lay Stone: Place and compact the stone base to form a solid foundation, adhering to the required thickness and density for durability.​
- Dip to Level: Measure and adjust the stone base to achieve the correct height and level, ensuring a smooth and accurate surface for the final paving.​
- Lay Sand: Apply a layer of sand to create a bedding for the Grasscrete blocks, facilitating proper interlock and stability.​
- Lay Grasscrete Blocks: Install the Grasscrete blocks, ensuring they interlock securely and align with the design specifications, completing the environmentally friendly paving solution.
