SECOND REPORT OF THE ADVISORY PANEL ON CONCRETE ROAD CONSTRUCTION (1973-74)

The Advisory Panel on Concrete Road Construction, set up in 1972, has completed its second full year of operation. This report describes the problems encountered during this second year, dealing in more detail with the formation of joints and remedial work. The unsatisfactory situation arising when untried plant is used on a normal contract is again highlighted and changes to the DOE specification for road and bridge works described. The panel places great importance on the reduction of contractual disagreements by ensuring that the specification is unambiguous. (A) /TRRL/
