Project Overview
Project Overview
At Wilton Park, Beaconsfield, approximately 1,000m2 of adoptable road was considered for stabilisation of the capping and subbase layers. Furlong GS worked closely with the client team and Local Authority on a stabilised CBM pavement foundation construction.
Design Approach
Following analysis of the host site-won material and laboratory testing, Furlong GS designed the capping and subbase stabilised layers. The design was prepared in accordance with MCHW Series 600, CD 225 design for new foundation pavements and CC 201 pavement foundation construction requirements.
Equipment Selection
Agile and safely operated machinery was selected because of the site level changes and working conditions. The project used a tractor-mounted WS250 Wirtgen mixer and a tractor-mounted Streumaster SW 3 AC binder spreader.
Testing and Validation
The ITP included pre-works plasticity, moisture, MCV, water-soluble sulphate, TPS and pH testing, in-situ density and air voids checks, EV2 plate load testing, DCP correlation or FWD confirmation, and laboratory UCS / ITSM mix design checks. Testing was undertaken by Furlong GS in-house technicians.
Client Benefit
The MCHW CC201-led design enabled the client to utilise site-won material to create the capping and subbase replacement layer, saving time and money while reducing vehicle movements and imported material demand.
