FOREWORD
The initiative to provide a sustainable development rating scheme for the use of government projects
was developed in order to integrate initiatives made separately by different branches in PWD. The scheme
serves as a tool for integrating all the initiatives that has been taken, measured and used as a benchmark
in developments implemented by PWD. This will make the initiatives to be more comprehensive and
impactful.

Version 1.0 of the Penarafan Hijau JKR (pH JKR) Manual for New Federal Roads category was produced
in 2012. However, the usage of this manual was not very rampant as not many projects was deemed
suitable. In the year 2013, version 1.0 of pH JKR manual for Upgrading of Roads category, was
consequently produced. However, this manual was also minimally used due to the unsuitability of the
criteria allocated.

Realising this problem, the pH JKR Committee decided to revisit both manuals and make it more
practical and user friendly. In order to achieve this, more designers, project managers and implementers
were engaged in the development of this pH JKR Manual Version 2.0. In this version, criteria for new and
upgrading of roads were combined and simplified.

In order to make this manual more practical with current trends, the pH JKR Committee again revise this
manual to pH JKR Version 3.0 – Road Sectors with involvements of previous and new committee from
various disciplines, in order to develop and improve this manual & its scorecard.

There is much hope that this effort will enable more users of pH JKR to benefit from its outcomes.

POTENTIAL ISSUES

i. Site planting without proper integration with other road activities (e.g. maintenance,
roadside safety).
ii. Not considering the suitability of a plant species specific for site condition salt tolerance and
soil pH, pest susceptibility and maintenance requirement. The roadway environment might
be significantly different from surrounding area, and may not necessarily support its
indigenous plant species.
iii. Site vegetation must be considered in the context of soils, compaction, slopes and
hydrology in order to be successful on road projects.
iv. Disturbed soil condition must be modified to create condition that will sustain native plant
growth. Planting beds should be prepared based on disturbed condition and specified in
project documents.
v. There are few current studies on the vegetation of less maintenance that designer
shall refer before choosing the appropriate vegetation.
vi. Hydro seeding with Bio-degradable Erosion Control Blanket (BECB) on slope is relatively
cost effective reducing soil erosion loses by 85% or greater, less labour and fast installation.

EXISTING PAVEMENT EVALUATION
OBJECTIVES

To determine the strength and residual life of the existing pavement structure Design / Verification
as a basis for rehabilitation design
N3 U3
CREDIT REQUIREMENT BENEFITS

Carry out the following test and integrated data analysis to identify the
current functional and structural existing road condition.

1 Point : Surface Condition Survey

1 Point : Coring & Dynamic Cone Penetrometer test
1 Point : Deflection test
1 Point : Trial pit & Laboratory test
1 Point : Surface Regularity Test

DOCUMENTATION

A. Design Evaluation Stage

i. Submit a copy of the Pavement Evaluation reports with the integrated

analyzed data.
ii. Recommended pavement rehabilitation method.
iii. Construction Drawing

B. Verification Scoring Stage

NIL

APPROACHES & STRATEGIES

i. Pavement evaluation shall only be conducted on road that the existing

pavement structure will be reused as part of the new pavement.
ii. Pavement evaluation are conducted to determine functional and
structural condition of road section either for purpose of routine
monitoring or planned corrective action. Functional condition is
primarily concerned with the ride quality or surface texture of a
highway section Structural condition is concerned with the structural

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 39
 capacity of the pavement as measured by deflection, layer thickness,
and material properties.
iii. At the network level, routine evaluations can be used to develop
performance models and prioritize maintenance or rehabilitation efforts
and funding. At the project level, evaluations are more focused on
establishing the root causes of existing distress in order to determine the
best rehabilitation strategies.
iv. Pavement evaluation report should include the following test categories
or other relevant evaluations:
a) Surface condition survey
b) Non‐destructive testing
o Deflection test
o Surface Regularity Test
c) Destructive Testing
o Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)
o Trial Pit & Laboratory Test

Surface Condition Survey

Visual condition surveys cover aspects of both functional and structural
pavement condition, but generally serve as a qualitative indicator of overall
condition. Specialized equipment is used to quantify both functional and
structural properties of the pavement structure.

Ideally, for any given section of roads, two or more evaluators would arrive at the
same assessment of the section’s current condition. However, there are still
many aspects of pavement evaluation that are highly subjective. For example,
in visual condition surveys, the percent of surface area affected by cracking is
highly dependent upon the visual acuity of the evaluator.

Non – Destructive Testing

Non‐destructive testing is the collective term for evaluations conducted on an
existing pavement structure that do not require subsequent maintenance work
to return the pavement to its pre‐testing state. This is generally desirable to
minimize disruption to traffic, and is essential as a screening tool to determine
locations where selective material sampling should be conducted to evaluate
other material properties in the laboratory. Non‐destructive test may include
deflection test, Determination of pavement density, determination of surface
roughness or other relevant testing.

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 40
 Destructive Testing
Destructive testing provides more detailed data about the pavement not
possible to obtain through non‐destructive testing. Such detailed data include
laboratory mechanical, physical, and chemical properties and visual inspection
of pavement layers through that obtained through coring or trial pit.

Design Elements
The selection of pavement rehabilitation method should refer to the Pavement
Evaluation report. The rehabilitation method should be determined using an
established pavement rehabilitation system or it can be designed manually. e.g.
Elmod, Rubicon, Circly.

 APPROACHES & STRATEGIES

Following some of the key design and maintenance elements will promote
maximum performance of permeable pavements:
i. Design Elements
ii. Maintenance Repairs

Design Elements
i. Use mix design for the pavement with significant permeability
2
10 liter/minute for 54cm area, 50mm thickness.
ii. Use open graded wearing course with range of air void (18 ‐25%)
iii. Permeable should be laid on impermeable and relatively even
bituminous surface with adequate cross fall (minimum 2.5%)
iv. Existing cracks and depression shall be sealed and patched prior
to application of porous asphalt.
v. Only used static steel wheel tandem roller to compact porous
asphalt pavement layer.
vi. Attempt to make periodic maintenance easy for owners in the
design process. Pavement areas should be accessible and slope
gradually to accommodate standard maintenance vehicles.

EXAMPLE :

i. Porous Asphalt
ii. Open graded aggregate
iii. Stone mastic asphalt

POTENTIAL ISSUES

i. Clogging of voids in the pavement. Routine maintenance is required to

prevent clogging and optimize infiltration rates.
ii. Quality control and familiarity varies.
iii. Permeable pavement may not be suitable for high volume traffic loads
or arterials. However, shoulder areas may be appropriate applications
to consider.
iv. Difficult to apply due to budget constraint

 PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE TRACKING
OBJECTIVES
PT 3
Allow for more thorough performance tracking by integrating construction Design / Verification

N2 U2
quality and pavement performance data.

CREDIT REQUIREMENT
BENEFITS
2 Points : Use a process that allows construction quality measurements and
long‐ term pavement performance measurements to be spatially
located and correlated to one another. This implies four
requirements
i. Construction quality measurements must be spatially located such
that the location of the quality measurement is known
ii. Pavement condition measurements must be taken at least every
3 years and must be spatially located to a specific portion of roadway
or location within roadway
iii. An operational system, computer based or otherwise that is
capable of storing construction quality measurements, pavement
condition measurement and their spatial locations.
iv. The designated system must be demonstrated in operation, be
capable of updates and have written plans for its maintenance in
perpetuity.

Details

This generally means spatially location construction quality measurement in a

permanent location system and maintaining those records indefinitely.

Examples of construction quality records include but not limited to:

i. Density test
ii. Water content test
iii. Bitumen content test
iv. Gradation test
v. Slump test
vi. Air content test
vii. Compressive Strength test viii. Thickness test

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 46
 Examples of pavement condition measurement include, but not limited to the
extent and severity of:

i. Cracking
ii. Permanent deformation (rutting)
iii. Bleeding
iv. Faulting
v. Joint Spalling
vi. Pavement strength

DOCUMENTATION

A. Design Evaluation Stage

Develop and implement a pavement tracking system.

EXAMPLE :

i. Pavement Interactive (PI) Maps

ii. Highway Development and Management (HDM‐4)

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 47
 POTENTIAL ISSUE
i. The general trend in road construction is to dispose of construction
records after a prescribed amount of time set by legal obligations.
ii. It is difficult to define the concepts of performance and quality in
simple terms.
iii. It is difficult to trace pavement performance issues back to construction
quality due to lack of integration between construction quality control
data with long‐term pavement performance data.

 B. Verification Scoring Stage
i. As‐built drawings
ii. Inspection Testing Plan
iii. Project Quality Plan (PQP)

APPROACHES & STRATEGIES

i. Generally, not all pavement section on a project will be designed as

long‐lasting section. This credit is not applicable to roads that are not
surfaced with asphaltic or Portland cement concrete such as gravel
road or road seal with bituminous surface treatment.

ii. Consider designing long‐lasting pavement that meets the requirement

of this credit. Any number of pavement design methods can produce
pavement sections that meets the requirement of this credit.

iii. Have a rehabilitation / preservation program that strives to keep existing

pavement in satisfactory condition such that they may remain in place
for overlays or diamond grinds. This allows simple rehabilitations such
as diamond grinds and overlays to quality for this credit. Ultimately,
this gives credit for a road being durable enough such that it does not
need to be entirely replaced.

delivery order

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 92
 APPROACHES & STRATEGIES

i. Use in place recycling technique such as hot in‐place recycling, cold in‐
place recycling and full depth reclamation. These methods qualify as reuse
because the material has not crossed project boundaries.
ii. Evaluate the structural condition of existing elements such as bridges and
retaining walls. This typically determined by a structural engineer. Do not
reuse elements that have been damaged by corrosion or natural hazards
without review by a structural engineer.
iii. any elements are determined to be inadequate for reuse, consider salvaging
them or deconstructing them for use on another project or purpose (road
furniture).
iv. Reuse of excavated rock materials on site for the road construction (e.g.
crushed rock for rock base)
v. Reuse cut material for filling work (e.g. suitable materials).

EXAMPLE CALCULATION:
Calculation of existing pavement reused percentage for widening an existing
roadway.

Description:
5 km of an existing two‐lane road with 7 m wide lanes and no shoulder is to be
widened to include a 3 m wide two‐way left turn lane and 2.5 m shoulders. The
existing pavement structure consists of 12 cm of HMA over 20 cm of crushed
aggregate. The existing pavement is kept in place except that the top 4 cm of
HMA is removed by a milling machine. New pavement of the same structure is
built on either side of the existing pavement structure to accommodate the
wider final alignment.

Calculation logic:

All 20cm of the base material and 9cm of the HMA are reused. The 4cm
removed by the milling machine is not considered “reused”. If it is recycled, then
it may qualify for consideration under MR‐5 Recycled Materials.

Formula:

Volume of existing pavement =

1𝑚 1000𝑚
Lane width (m) x [HMA(cm) + Crushed agg. (cm)] x ( ) x Road length (km) x ( )
100𝑐𝑚 1𝑘𝑚

JKR 20801‐0022‐18 93
 Example of calculation:

Total volume of existing pavement;

𝟏𝒎 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎𝒎
(7 m) x (12 cm + 20 cm) x (𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒄𝒎) x (5 km) x ( 𝟏𝒌𝒎
)= 11200.0 m3

Reused volume of existing pavement;

𝟏𝒎 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎𝒎
(7 m) x (9 cm + 20 cm) x (𝟏𝟎𝟎𝒄𝒎) x (5 km) x ( 𝟏𝒌𝒎 ) = 10150.0 m3

Percentage of existing pavement reused;

𝟏𝟎𝟏𝟓𝟎
x 100 % = 91%
