CHAPTER - II
CONSTRUCTION OF WBM BASE/SUBBASE FOR
ROADS
1. SCOPE
1.1 This work shall consist of clean crushed aggregates mechanically interlocked
by rolling and bonded together with screening, binding material where necessary
and water laid on a properly prepared sub grade/ sub base/ base or existing
pavement, as in case may be and finished in accordance with the requirements of
these specification and in close conformity with the lines, grade, cross section and
thickness as per approved plans or as directed by the engineer.
1.2 it is however, not desirable to lay WBM on an existing thin black topped
surface without providing adequate drainage facility for water that would get
accumulated at the interface of existing bituminous surface and WBM.
2. MATERIAL
2.1 Coarse aggregate
2.1.1 General requirement
The crushed stone shall be either granite/basalt trap stone, hard, durable and free
from excess flat, elongated, soft and disintegrated particles, dirt and other
deleterious material.
The coarse aggregates shall conform to one of the grading given in tables 2.0 as
specified, provided, however, the use of grading no. 1 shall be restricted to sub
base course only.
Screenings to fill voids in coarse aggregates shall consists of the same materials
as coarse aggregates .However, where permitted predominantly non plastic
material such as moorum or gravel (other than rounded river bound materials) may
be used for this purpose provided liquid limit and plasticity index of such material
are below 20 and 6 respectively and fraction passing 75micro meter sieve does not
exceed 10 %.
Screening shall conform to the grading set forth in table 3.0 .the consolidated
details of quantity of screening required for various grades of stone aggregates
are given in table 4.0 .table also gives the quantity of materials(loose) required for
10 m^2 for sub base compacted thickness of 75/100 mm.
Binding material to be used for WBM as a filler material like murrum meant for
preventing raveling, shall comprise of a suitable material approved by engineer
having a plastic index value of les than 10 as determined in accordance with Is
:2720(part v )
The quantity of binding material where it is to be used will depend on the type of
screening. Generally, the quantity required for 75 mm compacted thickness of
WBM will be 0.06-0.09 m^3/ 10 m^2 and 0.08-0.10 m^3/ 10 m^2 for 100 mm
compacted thickness.
The above mentioned quantities should be taken as a guide only, for estimation of
quantities of construction, etc. application of binding materials may not be
necessary when the screenings used are of crushable type such as moorum or
gravel.
3. Construction Operation
The surface of the sub grade/sub base/base to receive the WBM course shall be
prepared to the specified lines and cross fall (camber)and made free of dust and
other extraneous material. Any ruts or soft yielding places shall be corrected in an
approved manner and rolled until firm Sub base/base surface irregularities, where
predominant , shall be made good by providing appropriate type of profile
corrective course as per specification.
The coarse aggregate shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon the prepared sub
grade /sub base/base to proper profile by using templates placed across the road
about 6 m apart, in such quantities that thickness of each compacted layer is not
more than 100mm for grading 1 and 75mm for grading 2 and 3 . Wherever
possible, approved mechanical devices shall be used to spread the aggregates
uniformly so as to minimize the needs for manual rectification onwards .aggregates
placed at location which are inaccessible to the spreading equipment, may be
spread in one or more layer by any approved means so as to achieve the specified
results.
The spreading shall be done from stockpiles along the side of the roadways or
directly from vehicles. in no case shall the aggregates be dumped in heaps directly
on the surface prepared to receive the aggregates nor shall hauling over
uncompacted or partially compacted base shall be allowed and the coarse
aggregate as spread shall be of uniform gradation with no pockets of fine material.
The surface of the aggregate spread shall be carefully checked with templates and
all high and low spots remedied by removing or adding aggregates as may be
required .the surface shall be checked frequently with a straight edge while
spreading and rolling so as to ensure a finished surface as par approved plan.
The coarse aggregate shall not normally be spread more than three days in
advance of the subsequent construction operation.
3.3 ROLLING
Except on super elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from inner edge
to outer, rolling shall begin from the edge gradually progressing towards center
.first the edge/edges shall be compacted with roller running forwards and
backwards. the roller shall then move inwards parallel to the center line of road ,in
successive passes uniformly lapping preceding track by at least one half width.
Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregate are partially compacted with
sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. During rolling,
slight sprinkling of water may be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not be done
when the sub grade is soft or yielding or when it causes a wave like motion in the
sub grade or sub base course.
The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally .with templates
and any irregularity corrected by loosening the surface, adding or removing
necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until entire surface conforms to
desired cross fall(camber) and grade. In no case screening be permitted to
makeup depressions.
It shall be insured that shoulders are built up simultaneously along with WBM
courses.
After the coarse aggregates has been rolled to clause 3.3 screenings to completely
filled fill the interstices shall be applied gradually over the surface. these shall not
be damp or wet at time of application dry rolling shall be done while the screening
are being spread so that vibration of roller cause them to settle into the voids of the
coarse aggregates .the screening shall not dumped in piles but be spread
uniformly in successive thin layer either by the spreading motion of hand shovels
or by mechanical spreaders or directly from tipper with suitable grit spreading
arrangement .tipper operating for spreading the screenings shall be so driven as
not to disturb the coarse aggregates. the screening shall be applied in at a slow
and uniform rate(in three or more applications) so as to ensure filling of all voids
.this shall be accompanied by dry rolling and brooming with mechanical broom,
hand brooms or both. in no case shall the screening be applied so fast and thick
as to form cakes of ridges on the surface in such a manner as would prevent filling
of voids or prevent the direct bearing of roller on the coarse aggregates .these
operation shall continue until no more screenings can be forced into the voids of
he coarse aggregates.
The spreading, rolling, and brooming of screenings shall carried out in only such
length of road which could be compacted within one days operation.
After the screenings have been applied, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled
with water, swept and rolled .hand brooms shall be used to sweep the wet
screening into voids and to distribute them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and
rolling operation shall be continued until the coarse aggregate has been thoroughly
keyed, well bounded and firmly set in its full depth and a grout has been formed o
screenings. Care shall taken to see that the base or sub grade does not get
damaged due to the addition of excessive quantities of water during construction.
After the application of screenings in accordance with clause 3.4 and 3.5 the
binding material where it is required to be used shall be applied successively in
two or more thin layers at thin and uniform rate .after each application ,the surface
shall be copiously sprinkled with water the resulting slurry swept in with hand
brooms or mechanical brooms to fill the voids properly ,and rolled during which
water, shall be applied to the wheels of the roller if necessary to wash down the
binding material sticking to them .these operations shall be continue until the
resulting slurry after filling the voids ,form a wave ahead of wheels of the moving
roller.
After the final compaction of WBM course, the pavement shall be allowed to dry
over night .next morning hungry spots shall be filled with screening or binding
material as directed, lightly sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled .no traffic
shall be allowed on the road until macadam is set .the engineer shall have
discretion to stop hauling traffic from using the compacted WBM course, if in his
opinion it would cause excessive damaged to the surface.
The compacted WBM course should be allowed to completely dry and set before
the next pavement course is laid over it.
4. SURFACE FINISH AND QUALITY CONTROL OF WORK
The finished surface of WBM shall conform to the tolerance of surface irregularity
of 10mm. However, where the surface irregularity of the course exceeds the
tolerance or where the course is other wise defective due to sub grade soil mixing
with the aggregates ,the course to its full thickness shall be sacrificed over the
affected area reshaped with added material as applicable and recompacted. in no
case shall depressions be filled up with screening or binding material.
WBM shall be measured as finished work in position in square meter. The same
shall be payable in full for carrying out the all the required operations as described
above including full compaction, arrangement of all components of WBM including
water. The initial levels of surface of Subase is and final levels of WBM after
completion of full compaction are jointly recorded and the difference shall amount
to the thickness required as per SOR.

(ii) Granular Sub-base : Same as at (i) above, except that the degree of compaction and
the type of material to be used shall conform to the requirements .
(iii) Water Bound Macadam/Wet Mix Macadam Sub-base/Base : Where the surface is
high or low, the top 75 mm shall be scarified, reshaped with added material as
necessary and recompacted to the requirements. This shall also apply to wet mix
macadam.
(iv) Bituminous Constructions : For bituminous construction other than wearing course,
where the surface is low, the deficiency shall be corrected by adding fresh material over
a suitable tack coat if needed and recompacting to specifications. Where the surface is
high, the full depth of the layer shall be removed and replaced with fresh material and
compacted to specifications.
For wearing course, where the surface is high or low, the full depth of the layer shall be
removed and replaced with fresh material and compacted to specifications. In all cases
where the removal and replacement of a bituminous layer is involved, the area treated
shall not be less than 5 m in length and not less than 3.5 m in width.
3.1. General
The materials supplied and the works carried out by the Contractor shall conform
to the specifications prescribed in the preceding Clauses.
For ensuring the requisite quality of construction, the materials and works shall be
subjected to quality control tests, as described hereinafter. The testing frequencies set forth
are the desirable minimum and the Engineer shall have the full authority to carry out additional
tests as frequently as he may deem necessary, to satisfy himself that the materials and works
comply with the appropriate specifications. However, the number of tests recommended in
Tables -3 and Table-4 may be reduced at the discretion of the Engineer if it is felt that
consistency in the quality of materials can still be maintained with the reduced number of tests.
Test procedures for the various quality control tests are indicated in the respective
Sections of these Specifications or for certain tests within this Section. Where no specific
testing procedure is mentioned, the tests shall be carried out as per the prevalent accepted
engineering practise to the directions of the Engineer.
3.2.1. Borrow material : Grid the borrow area at 25 m c/c (or closer, if the variability is high) to
full depth of proposed working. These pits should be logged and plotted lot proper
identification of suitable sources of material. The following tests on representative samples
shall be carried out:
(a) Sand Content [IS: 2720 (Partt4)]: 2 tests per 3000 cubic metres of soil.
(b) Plasticity Test [IS: 2720 (Part-5)]: Each type to be tested, 2 tests per 30(X) cub. metres of
soil.
(c) Density Test [IS:2720 (Par: 8)]: Each soil type to be tested, 2 tests per 3000 cubic
metres of soil.
(d) Deleterious Content Test [IS:2720 (Part-27)] : As and when required by the Engineer.
(e) Moisture Content Test (IS :2720 (Part-2)1: One test for every 250 cubic metres of soil.
(f) CBR Test on materials to be incorporated in the suhgrade on soaked / unsoaked
samples [IS : 2720 (Part-I6)]: One CBR test for every 3000 cu. m. atleast or closer as and
when required by the Engineer.
3.2.2. Compaction Control : Control shall be exercised on each layer by taking at least one
measurement of density for each 1000 square metres of compacted area, or closer as
required to yield the minimum number of test results for evaluating a day'
s work on statistical
basis. The determination of density shall be in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part 23). Test
locations shall be chosen only through random sampling techniques. Control shall not be
based on the result of any one test but on the mean value of a set of 5-10 density
determinations. The number of tests in one set of measurements shall be 6 (if non-destructive
tests are carried out, the number of tests shall be doubled) as long as it is felt that sufficient
control over borrow material and the method of compaction is being exercised. If considerable
variations are observed between individual density results, the minimum number of tests in
one set of measurement shall be increased to 10. The acceptance criteria shall be .subject to
the condition that the mean density is not less than the specified density plus:
1.65 - 1.65 times the standard deviation.
--------------------------------
(No. of samples)0.5
However, for earthwork in shoulders (earthen) and in the subgrade, at least one
density measurement shall be taken for every 500 square metres for the compacted area
provided further that the number of tests in each set of measurements shall be atleast 10. In
other respects, the control shall be similar to that described earlier.
3.2.3. Cut formation : Tests for the density requirements of cut formation shall be carried out
in accordance with Clause 3.2.2.
The tests and their frequencies for the different types of bases and sub-bases
shall be as given in Table -3. The evaluation of density results and acceptance criteria for
compaction control shall be on lines similar to those set out in Clause 3.2.2.
3.3.1. Acceptance criteria : The acceptance criteria for tests on the strength of cement/lime
stabilised soil and distribution of stabiliser content shall be subject to the condition that the
mean value is not less than the specified value plus :
1.65 - 1.65 times the standard deviation.

CHAPTER V
MISCELLANEOUS WORKS
1.1 Description
This work shall consist of covering the slopes of guide banks, training works and
road embankment with stone, boulders or bricks over a layer of granular material
called filter.
1.2 General
The stone shall be sound, hard, durable and fairly regular in shape. The largest
stones procurable shall be supplied, and in no case shall any fragment weigh less
than 40 Kg unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer. The sizes of spalls shall be
minimum 25 mm and shall be suitable to fill the voids in the pitching.
To drain off the seepage water and to prevent erosion of the base material, one or
more layers of graded materials, commonly known as a filter medium, shall be
provided underneath the pitching. The material for the filter shall consist of sound
gravel, stone or brick ballast and coarse sand.
The gradation of the filter material shall satisfy the following requirements :
(iv) The grain size curve of the filter should be roughly parallel to that of the base
material.
Notes :-
1. Filter design may not be required if embankment consists of Sand or Soils with liquid limit
greater than 30 which are resistant to surface erosion. In this case, if a layer of materials is
used as bedding for pitching, it shall be well graded and its D80 size shall be at least twice
the maximum void size in pitching.
2. In the foregoing D18 means the size of that sieve which allows 15 per cent by weight of the
filter material to pass through it and similar is the meaning of D80 and D18.
3. If more than one filter layer is required, the same requirement as above shall be followed
for each layer. The finer filter shall be considered as base material for selection of coarser
filter.
4. Where brick bats are used as filter material, normally the grading is not possible and in
such cases, a layer of graded gravel shall be provided below the brick bats.
6. The thickness of filter is generally of the order of 200 mm to 300 mm. Where filter is
provided in two layers, thickness of each layer shall be 150 mm.
Before laying the pitching, the sides of banks shall be trimmed to the required slope and
profiles put up by means of line and pegs at intervals of 3 meters to ensure regular
straight work and an uniform slope throughout. Depressions shall be filled and thoroughly
compacted.
The filter granular material shall be laid over the prepared base and suitably compacted
to the thickness specified on the drawings.
The lowest course of pitching shall be started from the toe wall and built up in courses
upwards. The toe wall shall be in masonry or as directed by EIC conforming to
requirements. In case of dry rubble pitching and shall be in Masonry work in cement
mortar 1: 4 in case of brick pitching.
The stone pitching shall commence in a trench below the toe of the slope. Stone shall be
placed by derrick or by hand to the required length, thickness and depth conforming to
the drawings. Stones shall be set normal to the slope, and placed so that the largest
dimension is perpendicular to the face of the slope, unless such dimension is greater
than the specified thickness of pitching.
The largest stones shall be placed in the bottom courses and for use as headers for
subsequent courses.
When full depth of pitching can be formed with a single stone, the stones shall be laid
breaking joints and all interstices between adjacent stones shall be filled in with spalls
of the proper size and wedged in with hammers to ensure tight packing.
When two or more layers or stones must be laid to obtain the design thickness of
pitching, dry masonry shall be used and stones shall be well bonded.
Where bricks are to be used, the same shall be laid on the prepared base in one or
more layers as specified. When more than one layer is to be adopted, adjacent layers
shall be properly bonded by means of a sufficient number of pin headers, extending
from one layer to the other. The bond used in laying shall be as directed by the
Engineer.
2.0 TURFING WITH GRASS SODS
2.1 Scope :
This work shall consist of furnishing and laying of the live sod of perennial
turf forming grass on embankment slopes, verge (earthen shoulders) or other
locations as directed by the Engineer. Unless otherwise specified, the work shall
be taken up as soon as possible following construction of the embankment,
provided the season is favorable for establishment of the sod.
2.2 Materials :
The sod shall consist of dense, well rooted growth of permanent and
desirable grasses, indigenous to the locality where it is to be used, and shall be
practically free from weeds or other undesirable matter. At the time the sod is cut,
the grass on the sod shall have a length of approximately 50 mm and the sod shall
have been freed of debris.
Thickness of the sod shall be as uniforn as possible, with some 50-80 mm
or so of soil covering the grass roots depending on the nature of the sod, so that
practically all the dense root system of the grasses is retained in the sod strip. The
sods shall be cut in rectangular strips of uniform width, not less than about 250 mm
x 300 mm in size but not so large that it is inconvenient to handle and transport
these without damage. During wet weather, the sod shall be allowed to dry
sufficiently to prevent rearing during handling and during dry weather shall be
watered before lifting to ensure its vitality and prevent the dropping of the soil in
handling.
2.3.2.Placing the sods : The prepared sod bed shall be moistened to the
loosened depth, if not already sufficiently moist, and the sod shall be plowed
therein within approximately 24 hours after the same has been cut. Each sod strip
shall be laid edge to edge and such that the joints caused by abutting ends are
staggered. Every strip, after it is snugly placed against the strips already in position
shall be lightly tamped with suitable wooden or metal tampers so as to eliminate
are pockets and to press it into the underlying soil. On side slopes steeper than
2 to 1 the laying of sods shall be started from bottom upwards.
At the points where water may flow over a sodded area, the upper edges of
the sod strips shall be turned into the soil below the adjacent area and a layer of
earth placed over this followed by its thorough companion.
2.3.3.Staking the sods : Where the side slope is 2 to 1 or steeper and the
distance along the slope is more than meters, the sods shall be staked with pegs
or nails spaced approximately 500 to 1000 along the longitudinal axis of the sod
strips. Stakes shall be driven approximately plump through the sods to so almost
flush with them.
2.3.4 Top dressing : After the sods have been land in position, the surface
shall be cleaned of loose sod, excess sod and other foreign material. Thereafter a
thin layer of top soil shall be scattered over the surface of top dressing and the
area thoroughly moistened by sprinkling with water.
2.4 Watering and maintenance : The sods shall be watered by the contractor for
a period of at least four weeks after laying. Watering shall be so done as to avoid
erosion and prevent damage to sodded areas by wheels of water tanks.
The contractor shall erect necessary warning signs and barriers, repair or
replace sodded areas failing to show uniform growth of grass or damaged by his
operations and shall otherwise maintain the sod at his cost until final acceptance.
3.1 SCOPE
This specification covers the supply and laying of R.C.C. Hume pipes
as may be required. The entire work shall be carried out as per latest
edition of Indian Standards IS: 783 and IS: 458.
3.4.1 General
The conditions for laying of pipes to suit the conditions at site and/or
as per drawings and instruction of the Engineer shall be as classified
below:
In this condition the pipe is laid such that it projects wholly or partly
above original ground surface, there being no super imposed
overburden on the pipe.
Joints shall be flexible type as per IS: 783-1985. Rubber ring, with
material conforming to type - 1A of IS: 5382-1967 shall be placed on
the spigot with special shape and the spigot is forced into the socket
previously laid. This compresses the rubber ring as it rolls into the
annular space formed between the two surfaces of the spigot and
socket.
The scope of work includes manufacturing, supplying and laying of precast paver
blocks. The work includes:
Clearing the site by removing all obstacles such as stones, debris etc. for laying of
paver blocks.
Testing of paver blocks through reputed Govt./Non Govt. Test house and
submission of test results as per requirements in technical specifications. HPCL
reserves the right to carryout tests at random. Cost for such tests to be borne by
party.
The contractor shall guarantee that all material and components designed,
fabricated, supplied and laid by him shall be free from any type of defect due to
faulty material and/or workmanship/erection for a period of One year from the date
of completion of work at individual sites. However, free Maintenance for two years
shall be rendered by the contractor.
4.2 Paver Block Manufacturing Facilities
The Paver Block shall be made in factory with following minimum facilities:
4.2.3 Curing:
The factory should have well designed curing area to ensure adequate curing
of paver blocks.
4.2.4 Laboratory
The factory should have the following:
(i) Compression testing machine of adequate capacity
(ii) Other tools and equipment for testing raw materials and paver blocks.
(iii) (1). Systematic record of test results of various paver blocks
manufactured in the factory
(2) Concrete Mix Design for various grade of concrete used for
making of paver blocks.
The paver should have uniform chamfers to facilitate easy drainage of surface run
off.
The pavers should have uniform interlocking space of 2mm to 3mm to ensure
compacted sand filling after vibration on the paver surface.
The concrete mix design should be followed for each batch of materials separately
and automatic batching plant is to be used to achieve uniformity in strength and
quality. The pavers shall be manufactured in single layer only. Skilled labour
should be employed for laying blocks to ensure line and level of laying, desired
shape of the surface and adequate compaction of the sand in the joints.
4.7.1 PRIMING
The contactors are required to verify the existing WBM drivway surface.
It will be the responsibility of the Paver block party to ensure that the Manholes/
Pipeline/ Cable trenches / circular drainage system etc. raised to driveway level
using the requisite materials as per instruction of Engg In Charge (EIC) of HPCL.
The areas of potholes /deep depressions at the isolated locations also have to be
filled up before laying the paver blocks. No extra payments will be made for this
purpose. The area of raised manholes shall be included in the measurement of
overall area of paver blocks for the purpose of payment.
The bedding sand shall consist of a clean well graded sand passing through
4.75 mm sieve and suitable to concrete manufacture .The bedding should be from
either a single source or blended to achieve the following grading.

The bedding sand shall be spread loose in a uniform layer as per drawing. The
compacted uniform thickness shall be of 50mm and within + 5mm .Thickness
variation shall not be used to correct irregularities in the base course surface.
The spread sand shall be carefully maintained in a loose dry condition and
protected against pre-compaction both prior to and following screening .Any pre-
compacted sand or screeded sand left overnight shall be loosened before further
laying of paving units take place.
Any depressions in the screeded sand exceeding 5mm shall be loosened, raked
and rescreeded before laying of paving units.
4.7.3 LAYING OF INTERLOCKING PAVING UNITS :
Paving units shall be laid in herringbone laying pattern throughout the pavement.
Once the laying pattern has been established, it shall continue without interruption
over the entire pavement surface. Cutting of blocks, the use of infill concrete or
discontinuities in laying pattern is not be permitted in other than approved
locations.
Paving units shall be placed on the uncompacted screeded sand bed to the
nominated laying pattern, care being taken to maintain the specified bond
throughout the job. The first row shall be located next to an edge restraint.
Specially manufactured edge paving units are permitted or edge units may be cut
using a power saw, a mechanical or hydraulic guillotine, bolster or other approved
cutting machine.
Paving units shall be placed to achieve gaps nominally 2 to 3mm wide between
adjacent paving joints. No joint shall be less than 1.5 mm nor more than 4mm.
Frequent use of string lines shall be used to check alignment. In this regard, the
laying face shall be checked at least every two metres as the face proceeds.
Should the face become out of alignment, it must be corrected prior to initial
compaction and before further laying job is proceeded with.
In each row, all full units shall be laid first. Closure units shall be cut and fitted
subsequently. Such closure units shall consist of not less than 25% of a full unit.
To infill spaces between 25mm and 50mm wide, a concrete having 1:2:4 cement:
sand: coarse aggregate mix and a strength of 45 N/Sqmm shall be used. Within
such mix the nominal aggregate size shall not exceed one third the smallest
dimension of the infill space. For smaller spaces dry packed mortar shall be used.
Except where it is necessary to correct any minor variations occurring in the laying
bond, the paving units shall n ot be hammered into position. Where adjustment of
position is necessary care shall be taken to avoid premature compaction of the
sand bedding.
After laying the paving units, they shall be compacted to achieve consolidation of
the sand bedding and brought to design levels and profiles by not less than two (2)
passes of a suitable plate compactor.
All work further than one metre from the laying face shall be left fully compacted at
the completion of each days laying.
Any units that are structurally damaged prior to or during compaction shall be
immediately removed and replaced.
Sufficient plate compactors shall be maintained at the paving site for both bedding
compaction and joint filling.
As soon as practical after compaction and in any case prior to the termination of
work on that day and prior to the acceptance of construction traffic, sand for joint
filling shall be spread over the pavement.
Joint sand shall pass a 2.36 mm (No 8) sieve and shall be free of soluble salts or
contaminants likely to cause efflorescence. The sane shall comply with the
following grading limits:

the samples conform to the requirements of this specification shall accompany the
sample.
The jointing sand shall be broomed to fill the joints. Excess sand shall then be
removed from the pavement surface and the jointing sand shall be compacted with
not less than one (1) pass the the plate vibrator and joints refilled with sand to full
depth. This procedure shall be repeated until all joints are completely filled with
sand. No traffic shall be permitted to use the pavement until all joints have been
completely filled with sand and compacted.
Both the sand and paving units shall be dry when sand is spread and broomed into
the joints to prevent premature setting of the sand.
The difference in level (lipping) between adjacent units shall not exceed 3mm with
not more than 1% in any 3m x 3m area exceeding 2mm. Pavements which is
deformed beyond above limits after final compaction, shall be taken out and
reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
