TMR MRTS04 General Earthworks (MRTS04)

specification, published by Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, March 2025. Queensland.

A specification is only as interesting as what happens when you fail it, and MRTS04 turns a test result into a lot that has to come out. The minimum is not one number: it moves with the material and the depth.

1 obligation, clause by clause.

One obligation: the compaction minimum. Table 15.3(b) sets a different minimum by material and location, so the page states the rule rather than inventing a single number.

What this page is, and is not.

It is the clause text this library holds for this document, with the window and the consequence. It is not legal advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the document you signed.

No library of law is complete, and Demiton never says this one is. An obligation the library does not hold, and you did not add, is not protected. You can add your own to any job.

Common questions

What does MRTS04 cl 5.5.2, Table 15.3(b) require?

Compact each earthworks lot so its characteristic compaction is not below the Table 15.3(b) minimum for that material and location. Missing it: a breach of contract. The clause sets no day count. Demiton watches it against the inspection test result register.

Does Demiton hold every obligation in TMR MRTS04 General Earthworks?

No library of law is complete, and Demiton never says this one is. An obligation the library does not hold, and you did not add, is not protected. You can add your own to any job.
