As practices in road construction change over time, it is imperative for Jabatan Kerja Raya
Malaysia (JKR) to continuously update and improve their standard specifications. These
new specifications are not only aimed at keeping abreast with current technologies but
also helping in improving the quality of constructed product. In unison, these new
specifications have a significant positive Impact on the construction industry especially
with the incorporation of new products and technologies.
Standard Specification for Road Works is an essential component in the road
infrastructure construction industry. This specification provides an improved guidance in
the material selection and the production of good quality workmanship and products,
based on current best practices. The purpose of this standard specification is to establish
uniformity in road works to be used by road designers, road authorities, manufacturers
and suppliers of road related products.
This document “Standard Specification for Road Works - Section 3: Drainage Works" is a
part of a series of improved specifications in the Standard Specification for Road Works.
The compilation of this document was carried out through many discussions by the
technical committee members. Additionally it has been presented at a technical workshop
held on 16" July 2008. Feedbacks and comments received were carefully considered and
incorporated in the specification where appropriate.
This Specification had also been presented in the Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Spesifikasi
Piawai JKR bagi Kerja-kerja Jalan Bil. 3/2012 on 11" July 2012 and finally approved in the
Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pemandu Pengurusan Bil. 18/2013 on 3° September 2013.
This document will be reviewed and updated from time to time to cater for any changes on
policies and current requirements. In this respect, any comments and feedback regarding
