Base Course
Compacted granular base (depth and compaction percent specified) prevents settlement and supports design loads for construction traffic.
A correctly specified and installed entrance slab protects public roads, reduces cleanup costs, supports compliance with erosion-control permits, and minimizes safety hazards during construction.
Several roles are involved in the slab’s specification, installation, and approval on construction projects.
Coordination among these parties reduces rework, prevents fines, and ensures the entrance slab functions as intended throughout the project.
Compacted granular base (depth and compaction percent specified) prevents settlement and supports design loads for construction traffic.
Thickness matched to vehicle loads; light-truck traffic may use 4–6 in., heavier equipment typically requires greater depth and reinforcement.
Steel mesh or rebar placement and spacing to limit cracking and distribute loads under repetitive construction traffic.
Chamfers, curbs, or compacted shoulders to prevent undermining and protect adjoining pavement or roadside features.
Non-slip broom finish and proper slope for runoff; finish affects traction and cleanability.
Design for positive drainage away from work zone; integrate sediment traps or inlet protection where required.

A city contractor specified reinforced slab and drainage
A developer used standardized slab details across lots
The project manager signs to confirm slab placement and maintenance responsibilities, provides scheduling details, and serves as the primary contact for inspectors and owner representatives.
An authorized inspector or municipal official signs to indicate compliance with permit conditions, documents deficiencies, and records acceptance for project closeout.
