Pavement Investigation and Sampling. a) Test pits All test pits shall be excavated, profiled, and sampled in accordance with relevant Manual and industry best practice. The dimensions of the excavation shall be sufficient to permit safe working conditions and to allow for adequate quantities of material to be sampled from each horizon for the envisaged testing. All test pits shall be excavated to a minimum depth of 800mm, or deeper if so, specified by the design engineer. All test pits shall be backfilled utilizing material which is at least of a similar quality as that removed from the relevant horizon. Compaction shall be by appropriate compaction equipment in layers not exceeding 150mm. An appropriate patch such be reinstated in cases where the initial surfacing was removed to excavate the test pit.
