The data required for a road materials database has been identified and a basic structure formulated. A set of Excel workbooks and associated worksheets has been developed as a foundation for the database and as an interim means of gathering test data. A modular approach has been used to minimise processing time. It is recommened that a standard format for all future as-built/completion data be adopted by Gautrans and its appointed consultants and contractors to allow cost-effective data capture, once the database has been commissioned.
