4 BACKGROUNDROAD DAMAGE BY TRENCHING OPERATIONS
1. Water Intrusion places load
pressure on pavement
causing some of the gravel
to become unstable –
leads to cracking
2. Zone of Influence – lateral
support becomes weak
and unstable, can unravel
toward the trench opening
(caving in)
3. 90% compaction isn’t
always achieved which
leads to failing patches
and rough roads
