Pavement Design and Construction
23. The pavement designs shown on the engineering drawings are not approved. To attain
approval for the pavement design, the following details must be submitted and certified by
an RPEQ with the proposed pavement design.
a. The design CBR must be based on the four day soaked CBR value for the subgrade
material.
b. The design subgrade CBR must be representative of each homogenous insitu section
of finished subgrade. With respect to each section:
i. For four or less test results, the design CBR must be taken as the least estimated
insitu CBR result.
ii. For five or more test results, the design CBR must be taken as the 10th percentile
of all estimated insitu CBR results.
c. The samples must be taken generally in the position of the outer wheel path on both
sides of the proposed road. A sketch plan showing the location of all tests must be
submitted with the test results for pavement design approval.
d. Where imported material has been (or is proposed to be) used for subgrade
replacement, and the depth of the imported material is less than 300mm, the pavement
design CBR must be based on the testing results of the insitu material and not the
imported material.
24. At the time of subgrade inspection, the subgrade must exhibit no visible signs of deformation
under proof rolling by a fully loaded water truck. The pavement subgrade will not be passed
until this requirement has been achieved.
25. Pavement design for privately owned works must be undertaken in accordance with the
relevant standards. Structural integrity of the driveway and car park areas will remain the
responsibility of the property owner/developer and must be certified by an RPEQ.
Works within Road Reserve/Reinstatement
26. Safe pedestrian and vehicle access on all streets in the vicinity of the development must be
maintained at all times. Should footpath/road closures be necessary to carry out construction
works, Council’s Engineering Officer must be notified prior to the proposed closure and all
requirements complied with.
27. All frontage works must match neatly with existing road and verge/footpath features.
Additional works beyond the frontage may be required to provide an acceptable transition to
existing road and verge/footpath profiles.
28. The verge is to be modified such that the maximum crossfall for the verge is 5%, except in
the location of a pathway where the maximum crossfall is to be 2.5%.
29. Electrical conduits or other services proposed to be installed within existing and proposed
road reserves under existing sealed carriageways, concrete pathways, concrete/sealed
driveways or significant vegetation must be installed by boring. Trenching is not permitted,
unless specifically approved by Council.
Pathways
30. All pathways must be constructed in accordance with the following requirements:
a. All footpath/cycleway must comply with Council’s Standard Drawing SEQ R-065.
b. Provision must be made for disabled access at all kerb crossings associated with
pathways, in accordance with Council's current standards.
a. All paths must have a slip resistant surface.
b. Expansion and contraction joints must provide a flush finish. Installation of joints by
saw cutting is preferred to ensure a smooth ride for cyclists.
