Channel cleaning by labour (m)
Description: Roadside channel is usually defined as open
channel parallel to highway embankment and within the limits
of the highway right of way. It is either in the U-shaped or V-
shape cross section. Its main function is to collect surface run
off and draining the subsurface water from the base of roadway.
Possible Cause:
• Soil erosion
• Growth of weeds, brush and trees in drainage channel
• Blockage by debris
• Sedimentation of soil which stop the water from flowing due
to flat slop
Work method:
1. The object is to remove all soil, high vegetation, material and
objects from the ditch which could possibly interfere with
water flow or cause an eventual blockage of the ditch. This
can include for example, rocks, loose silt and sand, weeds,
trees, bushes, including their roots, etc. Dispose of these
materials well away from the roadside so that water flow
will not be impeded and they will not fall or wash back into
the drain.
On unlined ditches, a short grass cover can help to stabilise
the invert and sides of the drain. Therefore, where side drain
is established to the correct depth and profile with grass
cover and no erosion, it is advisable to merely cut the grass
short. This will leave the roots in place to bind the surface
together.
2. The drain may be extended with a flat outfall to reduce the
speed of the water when leaving the ditch. The gradient
should ideally be between 2% and 5%,
The drain could be realigned to follow the contour lines
more closely, until a location is reached where it may safely
discharge.

Traffic lanes painting (Thermoplastic)
(m)
Description: Road painting are used on paved roadways to
provide guidance and information for drivers and pedestrians.
Therefore, it is important to always re-paint the road marking as
soon as the road mark is no longer visible. For the best practice,
it should have a schedule painting (e.g. yearly).
Possible Cause:
• Quality of the paint were not to the standard
• Heavy traffic flow area (reduce the life of road mark)
• Quality of asphalt that caused cracks to the marking
• Accident that could scrap off the painting
• Weathering
Work method:
1. No painting work should start until all warning and speed
reduction signs and the flagmen are in position as indicated
in the temporary sign and the flagmen are in position as
indicated in the temporary signposting plan. Ensure that the
workforce can work safely.
2. The road surface must be dry,
3. Clean existing road markings where required using a stiff
brush. No dirt, dust or other contamination should be left
on the surface to be painted.
4. Apply the paint sparingly after thoroughly mixing and
adjusting the stencil to the line edges. Thick paint lines tend
to crack on drying. Paint only within the limits of the existing
markings, otherwise the edges will look ragged. If a spill
occurs, clean pavement surface immediately.
5. The road marking paint should dry in about 10-15 minutes
(depending on paint type and weather conditions). Do not
remove any cones or allow traffic to run over the freshly
painted lines before the paint is dry enough for traffic.
6. Ensure that the warning cones are correctly spaced and
located along the line being painted. Cones displaced by
traffic should be reset in position without delay.
7. Observe the progress of the work and move the flagmen and
warning signs as soon as the paint has dried over a
73
sufficiently long section of road.
