Sub-Base Course
A layer of selected granular material is placed over the subgrade and compacted. It provides additional support and helps distribute traffic loads.
Base Course
The base course consists of well-graded crushed aggregate. It provides major structural support and distributes wheel loads safely to the lower layers.

Tack Coat
A thin layer of bitumen emulsion is sprayed between asphalt layers. It acts as a bonding agent and ensures proper adhesion between the courses.
Binder Course
The binder course is a hot-mix asphalt layer placed above the base. It provides structural strength and helps transfer traffic loads.
Surface Course
The surface course is the final hot-mix asphalt or wearing layer.
It provides a smooth, durable surface suitable for traffic and protects the underlying pavement layers.
Compaction
Each pavement layer must be properly compacted using suitable rollers to achieve the required density, stability, and durability.
