Maintenance Requirements 26. The primary causes of frequent maintenance on aggregate-surfaced pavenents are the environment and aggregate loss due to traffic. Ratnfall and water running over the aggregate tend to wash the fines from the surface course reducing cohesiveness and consequently cause loss of surface aggregate under traffic loads. 27, Routine maintenance should be performed at least every 6 months and tore frequently {£ required, It consiste of grading, blading, patching pot- holes, replacing fines, cleaning drainage structures, and cutting vegetation. Pertodie maintenance involves uore extensive operations such as scarifying the serface layer to bring fines back to the surface, adding additional gravel to Festore the thickness, and/or recompacting the wearing surface to the specific density, 28. Proper maintenance is essential in prolonging the service life of ‘ agstegate-surfaced pavement, The most cost-effective design is based on an sopted aaintenance strategy which {9 dependent upon the maintenance cost i
