After final compaction, structure is ready for

decided to pave next layer immediately, it is
allowed to pave crack relief layer
immediately. If duration gap is given then it
is advisable to pave next layer – Crack relief

5. SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES:

a) Caution Boards shall be placed at the beginning and end of working site and also at risky
locations.
b) Barricading tape will be placed at risky locations, turning etc.
c) Signal man will be placed at heavy traffic locations at the time of Execution.
d) Reflective sign boards will be placed during night near risky locations.
e) Regular sprinkling of water shall be done to minimize dust emission.
f) All necessary measures shall be taken to maintain all plants and silencing equipment’s in good
conditions so as to maintain air and noise emission during the operation.
g) All necessary measures shall be taken to control the disposal of all forms of waste generated by
the construction operations and in all associated activities.
h) All necessary measures and precautions shall be taken to avoid any nuisance or disturbance
arising from the execution of the work.
