GUIDELINES FOR CROSSOVERS

Rural Lots
1. This specification details the minimum requirements for the construction
of vehicle crossovers to Rural properties. The need for a pipe and pre-
cast headwalls will be at the discretion of the Works Manager.

2. Particular care must be taken to locate and protect any public utility,
survey marks or other property. Should any public utility, survey mark or
other property be located on the proposed alignment of the crossover the
property owner shall be responsible for the costs associated with
removals or alterations of such.

Where crossovers are constructed privately, the property owner shall


cause any damage to public utilities, survey marks or other property to be
made good at his expense.

3. The crossover shall generally conform to the levels of the verge and the
road formation. The level from the property line to the back of the kerb
shall be minus 2% grade. Where there is no kerb, an allowance is to be
made for kerbing to a height of 130mm above bitumen.

4. The crossover shall be constructed at right angles to the road formation


and located no less than 6m from an adjoining property. No portion of the
crossover shall enter the road verge immediately in front of an adjoining
property.

5. The crossover dimensions shall be in accordance with drawing DN-05

6. The site of the crossover shall be cleared of all roots, trees and any other
vegetation or rubbish.

Where in the opinion of the Works Manager the in-situ sub-base material
is of inadequate strength and /or drainage, the site of the crossover shall
be boxed out to a depth of no less than 100mm. The formation shall then
be formed to the levels and gradients required and consolidated.

7. The crossover shall be constructed from well graded gravel, or crushed


road base, free of organic matter, balls or lumps of clay or other
deleterious substances.

8. The crossover material shall be laid on the formed sub-base to a


minimum thickness of 100mm, compacted and water bound until a slurry
forms on the surface. This slurry shall be removed to form a smooth,
compacted surface.

9. The crossover shall have a minimum 300mm diameter stormwater culvert


fro the full width of the crossover. This culvert shall be a reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP) and shall be installed parallel and offset to the table
drains as determined by the Works Manager.

No exceptions to this condition will be allowed except with the written


approval of the Works Manager
10. Culvert ends shall be finished with pre-cast end walls or formed concrete
end walls or stone pitching.

Formed concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 20Mpa


at twenty-eight (28) days.

Stone pitched end walls shall be constructed of hard, sound and durable
stone with the joints grouted and left clean. Where possible the end walls
shall be shaped in accordance with drawing DN-05.

All end walls shall be backfilled and left neat and presentable.

11. Upon completion the verge shall be left level and in a neat and safe
condition.
