Paved Surfaces
2.4.1.4
a)
Roads and Runways.
(1) Unpaved Shoulders. Unpaved shoulders should receive only
the maintenance necessary to ensure positive drainage of
surface water from the adjoining pavement. Holes and ruts
should be filled, and ridges should be bladed to eliminate
standing water. Backfill depressions when the undermining
of pavement is threatened. When possible, existing ground
cover should be retained.
(2) Concrete Pavements. Concrete pavements should be repaired
only as required to perform service activities and to
prevent severe disintegration. Bituminous surface
patching of depressed or broken slabs should be
accomplished to prevent pending of water and the resultant
saturation of the subgrade. Joints and cracks in concrete
pavement should be kept sealed by bituminous material.
(3) Bituminous Pavements. Surface repairs of bituminous
pavements should be limited to the repair of holes,
raveled areas, edge failures, and open cracks. Repair
unused surfaces only as necessary to maintain drainage and
to prevent the pending of surface water.
(4) Gravel and Stabilized Surfaces. Gravel and stabilized
surfaces should be shaped and repaired to maintain crowns
required for drainage.
b) Walks, Curbs, and Gutters. Protect the edges of raised
sidewalks, curbs, and gutters from undermining by the use of
riprap or sod.
2.4.2
Grounds Reactivation
2.4.2.1
General. Keep the restoration of grounds to a minimum to avoid
disturbing nature in accordance with NAVFAC MO-100.1, National Resources Land
Management. Eroded slopes, banks, and earth covers for magazines should be
filled, reshaped, and vegetated. Replant bushes, trees, and grass areas as
required to protect structures, roads, or runways from erosion; to control
dust ; and to reduce silting in drainage ditches.
Fencing. Security fences should be restored to usable condition.
2.3.2.2
Connections for gates, posts, braces, guys, and anchorages should be
tightened. Gates should be straightened and made operable. Hinges, latches,
locking devices, and all other hardware should be cleaned and lubricated for
easy operation. Reactivate fence lighting and alarm systems as required.
