R6.5 Compaction <strong>of</strong> Bricks<br />
A high frequency, low amplitude plate compactor, with a plate area sufficient to cover a minimum <strong>of</strong><br />
12 paving bricks shall be used. The metal base should be covered to prevent it coming into direct<br />
contact with the bricks. A plywood sheet <strong>of</strong> minimum thickness <strong>of</strong> 12mm, or a thick rubber based<br />
carpet square, attached to the base <strong>of</strong> the compactor, can be used to protect the bricks.<br />
Compaction shall be sufficient to achieve a firm even surface. A minimum <strong>of</strong> 3 passes is required.<br />
Compaction shall precede all other traffic.<br />
Any bricks damaged during compaction shall be immediately replaced.<br />
R6.6 Joint Filling<br />
After initial compaction <strong>and</strong> prior to traffic clean, dry siliceous s<strong>and</strong> which has 5% to 15% particles<br />
passing 0.075mm sieve shall be spread over the pavement <strong>and</strong> swept into the joints.<br />
A further two passes with the plate compactor shall be applied after joint filling. Further s<strong>and</strong> shall be<br />
swept into any joints as required <strong>and</strong> the compaction process shall be repeated until all joints are<br />
completely full.<br />
The final surface shall be true to grade <strong>and</strong> free from loose s<strong>and</strong>.<br />

CONCRETE FOOTPATHS<br />
R7.1 General<br />
Cast in situ concrete footpaths shall be laid on the alignments <strong>and</strong> at the locations shown on the<br />
drawings.<br />
The <strong>road</strong> verge shall be constructed to grade to the top <strong>of</strong> the kerb.<br />
All Service Authorities (including power, water, sewer, gas, telecommunications, etc) <strong>and</strong> the Local<br />
Authority are to be advised 48 hours prior to commencement <strong>of</strong> <strong>construction</strong>.<br />
R7.2 Placement<br />
The foundation material shall be compacted to a minimum dry density ratio <strong>of</strong> 95% when tested in<br />
accordance with AS1289 E2.1 to a depth <strong>of</strong> at least 450mm. Special attention shall be given to<br />
Service Authority trenches. The Engineer shall be given 24 hours prior notice <strong>of</strong> the concrete pour.<br />
The path shall be constructed from concrete with at least a 28 day cylinder compressive strength <strong>of</strong><br />
32MPa. The ground shall be thoroughly wetted immediately prior to laying the concrete. The<br />
concrete shall be compacted by a vibrating screed board <strong>of</strong> sufficient capacity to effectively vibrate<br />
<strong>and</strong> compact the full thickness <strong>of</strong> the path.<br />
The paths generally shall be constructed with a crossfall <strong>of</strong> 2% towards the kerb.The surface finish<br />
shall be brushed with a smooth edge to all outside edges <strong>and</strong> joints. All work shall be <strong>of</strong> high quality,<br />
uni<strong>for</strong>m appearance <strong>and</strong> executed in a tradesman-like manner.<br />
