to Inspectors:

The field Inspection Form are filled in every kmo using the kmo-counter
in the car, in which the following recording are taken:
GENERAL CONDITION:
The general impression of the road, roadside
areas, condition of shoulders and drainage, vegetation control, visibility, and the state of the maintenanceo
Divided into Good, Fair,
Poor and Beyond Repair (means beyond the scope of cost efficient maintenance), the Inspectors will fill in the form by using an "x" marko
CARRIAGEWAY:
Three recordings has to be made for each
1 kmoq an
"A" to indicate the extent of minor fai~ures (potholes, depressed cracked
area) 0 If the extent is less than 10 m per kmo, the "A" will be placed
in the box with Roman number "I" and so fortho
The
could be
road has
in a "B"
followed

second recording is the extent of the failed section (this

a section which is regularly flooded or of other reasons, the
failed in the full width) 1 the recording will be made by filling
in one of the four roman numeral boxeso
The same procedure
by filling in a "c" to indicate the signs of crack and deterio-

rationo
SHOULDER/VEGETATION
CONTROL:
In respect of the shoulders, the
linear meters requiring filling, levelling and compaction per kmo will
be indicated, as well as the vegetation control and the visibilityo
DRAINAGE:
The frequency of ponding
silted drain and flooding are recordedo

water

at the road side, the

After the recording, the information obtained is filled into the

bottom part of the form from where recordings from the column "Good
I/-10o LM Good/Few Ponds" will be given a "4"1 the column "Fair",
II/1oo-15o LM Fair/Ponds-Silt
will be given a "3" and so fortho
The average figure for the carriageway and the roadside are calculatedo
To determine the "OVERALL CONDITION'" The figure at the CARRIAGEWAY is
weighed twice the figure of the roadside areaso

LEGEND:
The overall condition
has been,
based
on the initial field
inspections,
classified
into 4 groups,
with
a classification
from 4 to 1,
with
figure
"4
as the optimize
.figure,
and
as the lowest.

11

111

4)500d
The completed
road
appears
in a sound
and well
maintained condition,
minor failures
could appear,
such as few
potholes,
minor ar eas with aligator cr ac ks ,:ruts and depressing.
Shoulder
could
be slightly
eroded
at entrances
to private
property,
parkings areas,
and in areas where
extensive traffic
on the shoulder appear.
Also a few ponds could be found.

3.)Fair i When the general view

seems to contain rare failures
rutting
and
and damages to the carriageway,
such as potholes,
ponds
and
edge
failures.The
shoulders
are scattered
w{th
of maintenance
sedimentation
from
ponding
water.
The
level
effort seems to be slightly average.

2.)Poor:
When the carriageway
appears with rather many failures
and damages and failed
section,
the shoulders are eroded with
many ponds and softspots,
the ~rainage
system
hardly functions
caused of sedimentation
and hardly any
vegetation control.
The
maintenance
state is low.

('

1. lBeyond
Repair
when
the carriageway,
(' scattered with
sEveral failures
and damages,
more
sections
~0 the road has
failed.
The shoulders are eroded badly with ponding water along
the edge
of the carriageway.
The drainages are silted
and the
vegetation
S22ms to be' out of control.
Ine quantities
rE~~ir2d
to bring the road to a reasonable
standard
are largely exceeding
the most cost effective solutions.
