In reply to Rajeev Gajanan Vengurlekar. Heavy vehicles on the road can cause traction and abrasion of the surface, resulting in the reduction of road thickness even when the top surface is completely intact. This is very common in roads over period of time.

I have done road carpet work in year 2014 ,thickness of carpet was 70 mm . Now in year 2022 when I took core of carpet to check its thickness I found it 50 to 60 mm in area where heavy material is loaded in trailer for dispatch. Load of single piece of this material is 10.00 MT Please . Road surface is in good condition without any defect.
Please give me reason for this reduction in thickness.

Thank you for explaining the different layers of a bituminous road. I imagine it’s important to paint the lines with a material that’s compatible with the top layer. It’s also probably important to do that correctly with the right equipment.
