Material Planning Approach for Quality Control in Road Construction Works

In the present electronic age, the road development works are going at a very fast speed in developing countries. A well-developed network of roadways is vital for the economic development as well as improvement in the living standard of the people of the country. With the availability of advanced machinery, plants and equipment, the pace of construction of highways has increased manifolds. However the need of time is a comprehensive quality control system to build a durable and well functional roads in a cost effective manner at minimum possible time. We have presented here a strategic real time solutions for material testing, quality limits, selection etc., based upon the critical examination of properties and process in conformation to the specifications and quality objectives. In the existing system, the quality control tests are carried out at the three different levels; before, during and after construction. In the present paper some effective ways to ensure quality control at various stages of the construction planning of pavements are studied.
