This 10 stories hospital and all infrastructure works will be constructing in Puncak Alam,
Kuala Selangor, Selangor. Based on the site plan the drawing and calculation of road and
drainage have been proposed. All the drawings and calculations of the road are shown in this
report.
190mmbinder course
200 mm subbase
Subgrade layer
3.2.3 Road Layer
Layer Information
Surface Course The upper layer of the pavement
Provide non-skidding and good riding quality surface
Prevent or reduce water from penetrating into underlying layer
Withstand adverse environmental condition
Resist abrasive forces of traffic
Binder Course Subdivide with surface course
Perform same properties as surface course
Road Base The main pavement structural layer to cater load
Function to cater and spread the load from heavy vehicles and protect
the underlying weaker layer
Subbase To aid the base distributing load transmitting to the subgrade
To aid as drainage layer
As temporary path during construction work
To protect the subgrade from damage caused by weather
Subgrade An embankment on natural earth below the subbase of pavement
Function to cater load from upper layer of the pavement
By using standard material for rural design in JKR spec to find the thickness of layer is
satisfied of needed in this site based on type of vehicles which basically is car. Furniture of road
consider on road user with clearly can see even thought at night.
4.0 Design Consideration
Road needs to be designed and constructed carefully because it can promotes road traffic
safety and reducing the harm on the highway system from traffic collision such as deaths,
injuries and property damage.
Since the project is constructing a hospital, there are several factors in term of safety need
to be considered in designing the road. Traffic calming, safety barriers, pedestrian crossing,
ambulance lane are provided to aid the public health. Lane markers in some countries and states
are marked with bright reflectors that do not fade like paint. Reflector is a useful item during
night and dark situation.
Risk can be reduced by providing limited access from properties and local roads, grade
separated junctions and median dividers between opposite direction traffic to reduce likelihood
of head-on collision.
The placement of energy attenuation devices such as guardrails, wide grassy areas, sand
barrels are common in term of safety and public health. Some road fixtures such as road signs
and fire hydrants are designed to collapse on impact. Light poles are designed to break at the
base rather than violently stop a car that hits on them. Highway authorities may also remove
large tress from the immediate vicinity of the road. During heavy rains, if the elevation of the
road surface is not higher than the surrounding landscape, it may result in flooding.
4.2 Environmental, Societal & Cultural
Road needs to be designed and constructed carefully because they can reduce any
negative environmental impacts.
Water management system can be used to reduce the effect of pollutants from road.
Rainwater and running off of roads tends to pick up gasoline, motor oil, heavy metals, trash and
other pollutants and result in water pollution. Road runoff is a major sources that contribute
nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are
combustion by products of gasoline and other fossil fuels. Sand can run off into roadsides,
contaminated groundwater and pollute surface waters, and road salts can be toxic and sensitive to
plants and animals. Sand applied to roads can be ground up by traffic into fine particulates and
contribute to air pollution.
Road are a chief source environmental noise generation. Since this project will be
constructed at hospital area, sound must be look seriously into measure. To avoid noise
accumulated around hospital area that comes from road, noise barriers are used to reduce noise
pollution, in particular where roads are located close to built-up areas. Regulations can restrict
the use of engine braking.
Motor vehicle emission contribute to air pollution. Concentrations of air pollutants and
adverse respiratory health effects are greater near the road than at some distance away from the
road. Road dust spread up by vehicles may trigger allergic reactions. In addition, on-road
transportation greenhouse gas emissions are the largest single cause of climate changes.
