Road shoulder shall be maintained to a condition where it should have a smooth running surface, a minimum of loose material, an adequate slope for drainage, sufficient strength to support wheel loads and a surface flush with the pavement edge.
The grading process consists of bringing material in from the sides and/or cutting down corrugations of the surfaces and filling the low spots with the surplus loose material.
Then follow by compaction using roller or other suitable plants.
Motor grader or other suitable plants shall be used to re-grade level the surface.
Each layer of shoulder material shall be processed as necessary to bring its moisture content to a uniform level throughout the material suitable for compaction.
Shoulders shall be finished in a neat and workmanlike manner as such, the top surface of each shoulder shall have the required shape, super elevation, levels and grades and shall provide a flush joint with the carriageway surface and shall be uniformly free draining away from the carriageway.
