hi curious, why certain roads cant last long. i read somewhere, a road supposedly can last 10 years. but nowadays, today u tampal the pothole, next week the hole reappears.

what is the reason?

also, i was there a pothole in the first place? is it the quality of work/tar? or the temperature of the day? or isit bcos the road not yet ready to be used yet they already open the road for usage (this could be bcos its a main road etc).

Depends on the base condition. If the base is soil of high water content then even if you design 20 years also the road will be damaged way faster due to the movements of the base.

The normal 'tar' type of road you usually seen is to allow ease of maintenance of the road.

Potholes come from variety of reasons, from wheel loadings to internal seepage. Opening a road for usage is rarely the cause, since wheels will usually compact the courses faster.

Why some tar road at our highways looks very wet and slippery?

But on other tar road eg:new nkve from klang to subang rven when it rains, the tar doesnt look wet and dont really have water splashing up into the air

But ive been driving at vietnam our road condition much better

Usually is because newer roads consider much better water flow.... A flat road retains water longer. Maintenance, drainage etc etc.

Older roads usually loses their rough texture by time where their coarseness help retain water and add to friction.

Hi Bro, my name is Jacho.  Im in construction industry in Singapore.
Got intention to start something here in Malaysia. Cause now in SG, levies and all labour cost went up quite a lot....  may I ask...

1)  How is the construction industries over there in My?
2) labour issue easy to solve ?
3) payment issue easy to collect or there ?

Im more into prefab housing like construction site office usually in white n blue color. Or building up workers dormitory..  I think you likely to see b4. I think demands are picking up over there...

Ultimately is the sales and collection part that Im worrying..
Care to advise ?

1) I think everywhere around is slowing down. Same applies to Msia.
2) Labor issues similar to SG.
3) No comment, good and bad paymasters are everywhere.... better to check on their reputations.

Construction site office, isn't it what we called container? Anyway, in the city prefab items are not a hit due to some obvious reasons....

SIr another question, When consultant issue an EI to contractor. Can the contractor come out with the quotation and discuss the rate (finalized the price)before work is carried out?

Depends on on the instructions..... It is either up to the contractor to absorb the costs or discuss the variation orders which materials will be based on market price.

In the end see how the changes affects the works....
