A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NOVEMBER 2008 AMENDMENTS

DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION

Volume 3 Highway Construction Details (MCHW 3)

General The user’s attention is drawn to the following note which has been abstracted from
Implementing Standard SD 26/08:

‘‘Contracts for which tenders are to be invited after 1 May 2009 shall incorporate by
reference the amendments implemented by this Standard, except where the preparation of a
contract has reached a stage at which in the opinion of the Overseeing Organisation use of
the amendments would result in significant additional expense or delay progress.’’

The user’s attention is drawn to GD 03/08 (DMRB 0.2.2) Implementation and Use of the
Standards Improvement System. This Standard superseded HD 34/03 which introduced
the Standards Improvement System (SIS).

SIS is a computerised database of reports generated from failures of specifications and

design standards and other observations on these documents. The database records
potential improvements using lists of components, symptoms, diagnoses and detailed
descriptions. SIS is operated and maintained by the Highways Agency. Its prime
objective is to improve the performance of the engineering standards and specifications
published by the Highways Agency, both independently and jointly with other Overseeing
Organisations.
