GOAL

The goal of this procedure is to provide step-by-step instructions


on how to make a concrete road. A concrete road is durable, long-
lasting, and provides a smooth surface for vehicles and
pedestrians.
• Cement

MATERIALS • Coarse aggregate (gravel or crushed stone)

• Fine aggregate (sand)

• Water

• Reinforcement steel (optional, for added strength)

• Plastic sheeting or curing compound

• Wooden forms (for shaping the road)

• Expansion joint material (for controlling cracks)

• Construction tools (shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows)

• Vibrating compactor (to compact the concrete)


EQUIPMENTS
• Concrete mixer or batching plant
• Concrete pump (optional, for larger projects)
• Bull float (for finishing the surface)
• Trowel (for smoothing the surface)
• Broom (for texture)
• Concrete saw (for cutting expansion joints)
• Safety gear (gloves, goggles, helmets)
1. SITE PREPARATION
• Choose the location and
mark the road’s alignment.
• Clear the area of vegetation
and debris.
• Ensure proper drainage by
creating a slight slope.

STEPS 2. EXCAVATION
• Dig a trench to the desired
depth and width of the road.

3. SUBGRADE
PREPARATION
• Compact the subgrade using a
compactor machine.
• Lay a geotextile fabric to
prevent soil erosion.
4. FORMWORK
INSTALLATION
• Place wooden forms along the
sides of the road to define its
shape.

5. REINFORCEMENT (OPTIONAL)
• If needed, install steel mesh or
STEPS reinforcement bars to add strength.

6. MIXING CONCRETE
• In a concrete mixer, combine
cement, aggregates, and water
according to the mix design.
7. POURING CONCRETE
• Pour the concrete mixture evenly
into the prepared area.
8. LEVELING AND COMPACTING
• Use a bull float to level the concrete
surface.
• Compact the concrete using a
vibrating compactor.
STEPS 9. FINISHING
• Smooth the surface with a
trowel.
• Create a textured finish with a
broom.
10. CURING
• Cover the concrete with plastic
sheeting or apply a curing compound
to prevent rapid drying.
11. EXPANSION JOINTS
• Cut expansion joints into the
concrete to control cracking.

12. DRYING AND CURING


• Allow the concrete to cure for at
STEPS least 7 days before opening it to
traffic.

13. MAINTENANCE
• Regularly inspect and maintain
the concrete road to ensure its
longevity.
