| driveways
- roadbase type |
| These
are economical and long lasting provided works are carried out
correctly. |
|
•
|
Determine
the actual area needed allowing for turn arounds etc. |
|
•
|
Have
a machine (bobcat) remove loose surface material and box out
driveway. |
|
•
|
Work
out the quantity of material required - length x width x .15
= the amount of cubic metres required. 1.6 tonnes per cubic
metre |
|
•
|
Allow
for compaction - 150mm uncompacted equates to at least 100mm
finished |
|
•
|
Always
buy quality roadbase materials that record a high (CBR) rating
(strength) |
|
•
|
If
possible compact the area. |
|
•
|
A
light covering of gravel also creates a good effect. |
|
•
|
Make
sure water doesn't run down the driveway - always off to the
side and then away. |
|
•
|
If
you have a steep driveway and water is a problem, a cement treated
roadbase can be used usually at the ratio of 3% cement and the
same depth. This provides superior lasting and wear. |
