(i) At least one density check for every 30m length for blanket layers and top one metre of prepared subgrade/subgrade along the
alignment in staggered manner of each compacted layer, as per Fig. 7.1 of Specification No. RDSO/2020/GE:IRS-0004.
(ii) At least one density check for layers other than as specified in (i) above, every 500 m 2 or 75m c/c whichever occurs earlier, along
the alignment in staggered manner of each compacted layer, as per Fig. 7.1 of Specification No. RDSO/2020/GE:IRS-0004.
(iii) In case of important bridge approaches (100m length on each side), at least one density check for every 25m length shall be
adopted.
