Quality Control Checklist for Road Construction

Use this Quality Control Checklist for Road Construction to inspect materials, paving, compaction, and grading, ensuring compliance with project standards.

1. Are granular sub-base and base course materials approved before placement?

2. Is spreading and compaction done in uniform layers with controlled moisture content?

3. Are field density tests conducted at regular intervals and documented?

4. Is the thickness of each layer checked and verified before moving to the next?

5. Are layers protected from traffic and environmental damage before overlay?

1. Is the asphalt mix temperature within the required range during transport and laying?

2. Is the paving machine operating at consistent speed and depth?

3. Is compaction performed using the appropriate type and number of rollers?

4. Are density, smoothness, and thickness tests conducted for the finished surface?

5. Is the jointing and finishing of the asphalt surface inspected for smooth integration?

1. Are curbs, gutters, medians, and sidewalks aligned and leveled properly?

2. Is road signage installed per design with correct visibility and orientation?

3. Are drainage structures like culverts, channels, and catch basins installed and tested?

4. Are guardrails, lighting poles, and safety barriers installed securely and per code?

2. Have all design drawings, specifications, and contract documents been reviewed and approved?

3. Are site surveys and soil investigations completed and documented?

4. Are materials and supplier approvals obtained prior to commencement?

5. Is a pre-construction meeting conducted with stakeholders and contractors?

1. Are aggregates tested for gradation, strength, and cleanliness before use?

2. Is bitumen/asphalt tested for viscosity, penetration, and temperature compatibility?

3. Are soil samples tested for compaction, moisture content, and bearing capacity?

4. Are cement and concrete materials tested for compliance with project standards?

5. Are all test results recorded and traceable to specific work zones or batches?
