Stabilized Construction Entrance
A pad of aggregate underlain with filter cloth located at any point where traffic will be entering or leaving a construction site.
Inspection Checklist
- Rock should be clean, large (3-6 inch) stone.
- Dimensions should meet local code (typically 50ft long x 12ft wide).
- Geotextile fabric should be visible underneath if required.
- Entrance should flare at the connection to the paved road.
Common Failures
- Track-out: Mud leaving the site on vehicle tires.
- Rutting: Rocks pushed into soft soil, reducing effectiveness.
- Sediment accumulation on the pad itself.
Maintenance & Corrections
- 1. Top dress with additional stone when rock becomes clogged with soil.
- 2. Sweep adjacent paved roads daily if track-out occurs.
- 3. Ensure all traffic uses this specific entrance.
Inspection Freq: Daily visual check for track-out.
