Job Description

1. Planning & Design

Before construction begins, engineers conduct:

Feasibility studies

Traffic surveys

Soil investigation / geotechnical analysis

Environmental impact assessment (EIA)

Alignment and route selection

Design of pavement, drainage, and structures

Outputs include: drawings, specifications, and cost estimates.

2. Site PreparationActivities

Clearing and grubbing (removal of vegetation, debris) Demolition of existing structures Relocation of utilities (water lines, cables, etc.) Earthwork planning and site marking by surveyors

3. Earthworks

This is one of the most important stages.

Processes

Cutting

(removing soil/rock from high areas)

Filling/Embankment

(adding soil to low areas)

Compaction

using rollers

Grading and levelling

to achieve design slope and shape

Materials

Natural soil Selected fill material Rock Stabilized soil (lime/cement treated)

4. Subgrade Preparation

The subgrade is the top of the compacted soil layer.

Tasks

Achieve required

density

and

CBR (California Bearing Ratio)

Shape and level the formation Fix soft spots with soil stabilization or geotextiles

5. Sub-Base and Base Course Construction

These layers provide structural strength above the subgrade.

Sub-base (optional depending on design)

Granular Sub-Base (GSB) Crusher run material

Base Course

Water Bound Macadam (WBM) Wet Mix Macadam (WMM) Cement-treated base (CTB) Bitumen-treated base (BTB)

6. Pavement Construction1. Flexible Pavement (Asphalt Roads)

Layers include:

Prime coat + Tack coat

Binder course (asphalt)

Wearing course (asphalt concrete, SMA, or mastic asphalt)

2. Rigid Pavement (Concrete Roads)

Steps include:

Formwork setting Placing reinforcement (if required) Pouring and vibrating concrete Curing and joint cutting

7. Drainage Construction

Essential to extend pavement life.

Types:

Side drains Culverts Cross drainage structures Stormwater systems Median drains

8. Structures Along the Road

Bridges and culverts Retaining walls Box drains Underpasses and overpasses Guardrails and barriers Road signs and markings

9. Finishing Works

Road shoulders Road marking (thermoplastic, paint) Traffic signs and signals Curbstones Landscaping Street lighting

10. Quality Control & Testing

Common tests:

Soil compaction (Proctor, sand cone) Material gradation Asphalt density and temperature Concrete slump and strength tests Level checks using survey equipment

11. Safety During Construction

Traffic management and signage PPE for workers Hazard identification and control measures Safe equipment operation
