International Road Federation Video VH-155 Smoothing and Reshaping of Earth and Gravel Roads Visit the International Road Federation at http://www.irfnews.org/ - Noncommercial Use Only - Published with Permission - Smoothing and reshaping procedures are covered separately in this video on maintenance of unpaved roads. Weather conditions and equipment are discussed. Smoothing is demonstrated in the following steps: placing traffic signs, marking limits for smoothing, blading the surface to form a windrow, and spreading the windrow. The reshaping process is demonstrated in the same steps, with the addition of checking the crown and cross slope, and compacting the surface.
