S7.5.2
Where the top of the slab is the running surface, the excavation must be delineated by pavement sawing to a depth of 30 mm ±10 mm. The remainder of the exposed faces should be rough cut, at an angle of 27° ± 18° to the vertical; see Figure S7.1
S7.5.3
In all other cases, the exposed faces should be rough cut, at an angle of 27° ± 18° to the vertical. Delineation by pavement saw, to a depth of 30 mm ± 10 mm, may also be applied.Figure S7.1 Slab edge taper options
S7.5.4
The edge of the excavation must not be located within 300 mm of a kerb, ironwork, transverse or longitudinal joints or another reinstatement unless the trim-line and surface reinstatement can be extended up to the feature in question.
