Paved Surfaces
2.4.2.5
a)
General. Roads, walks, pavements, runways, and similar
features should be repaired, replaced, and resurfaced to
restore them to serviceable condition. Paving, preservation,
and stabilization of drainage should also be accomplished.
Repair parking and storage areas as appropriate for the class
of road pavement, and regrade where necessary to provide
satisfactory drainage. Repair traffic aids, including guard
fences, markings, and signs, or provide new ones, when
necessary. The extent of weed removal from shoulders and
rights-of-way should be limited to that necessary for proper
drainage, fire prevention, and the control of noxious weed
growth. Clean and repair drainage structures, including
culverts, underdrains, storm sewers, inlets, and catchbasins;
repair where necessary to prevent flooding and storm damage.
Repair and reshape intercepting ditches, flumes, check dams,
and road ditches to provide adequate flow capacity.
To check severe erosion and to prevent obstruction of
shoulders as necessary.
b) Roads.
(1) Unpaved Shoulders. Repair or restore shoulders to ensure
positive drainage of surface water from the adjoining
pavement. Fill holes and ruts, and blade ridges to
eliminate standing water. Restore existing ground cover.
(2)
Concrete Pavements. Clean and fill cracks and joints in
concrete pavements with an appropriate joint filler in
accordance with NAVFAC MO-102, Maintenance and Repair of
Surfaced Areas. Provide bituminous surface patching of
depressed or broken slabs to prevent pending of water and
resultant saturation of the subgrade, or to restore the
serviceability of the pavement. Limit the renewal of
expansion joints to the extent necessary to relieve
serious spalling.
(3) Bituminous Pavements. Limit surface repairs on bituminous
pavements to the repair of holes, reveled areas, edge
failures, and open cracks. Use materials comparable to
those in place. Seal-coat brittle but otherwise
serviceable pavements.
(4) Gravel and Stabilized Surfaces. To maintain crowns
necessary for drainage, reshape gravel and stabilized
