 APPPLICATON OF PRIME COAT AND TACK COAT
Prime Coat:
OBJECTIVE
 To penetrate the existing base course surface so as to plug capillary voids in it.
 To coat and bond loose mineral particles on the surface of the base course.
 To seal surface pores and make the surface of the base course water –resistant.
 To provide adhesion between the base and the superimposed bituminous surface course in conjunction
with tack coat.
SCOPE
 Scope covers providing a single coat of Low Viscosity Liquefied bituminous material to a porous
Granular surface with Bitumen Emulsion preparatory to any superimposed bituminous treatment.
REFERENCES
 Contract agreement
 MOSRT&H
 IS-8887-2004
 IRC-16-2008
RESPONSIBILITY
 Site in charge & Quality Material Engineer

PROCEDURE
Prime Coat:
 The material shall be such that it can penetrate deep into base course about 10 mm and conforming to
IS-8887-2004(SS-1).
 The surface to be primed shall be swept clean, free from dust and shall be dry.
 Before laying the primer the surface shall be made to the required profile using compactor and
template.
 The prime coat shall be provided on the granular surface with Bitumen Emulsion complete as per
contract technical specification at the rate of 0.435 liter/sqm.
 The primer shall be spread uniformly to cover the dry surface using primer distributor equipped with
self-propelled or towed pressure sprayer with self-heating arrangement and spraying bar with nozzles
having constant volume or pressure system.
 The rate of spray of prime and tack coat is checked at site by keeping iron plate of 300 mm x 300 mm
size and 20 mm depth and weight, on the surface where primer is to be applied.
 After application the weight of the plate is taken and the rate of spray is determined.
 Primed surface shall be allowed to cure for at least 24 hours. No traffic shall be permitted other than
that necessary to lay the next course.

Tack Coat:
Objective
 To provide adequate bond between two layers.
Scope
It covers a very light application of low viscosity liquid bituminous material to an existing bituminous, cement
concrete or primed granular surface to ensure a bond between the surface being paved and the overlaying
course.

PROCEDURE
 The material shall be bitumen emulsion complying with IS-8887-2004(RS-1).
 The surface to be tack coated shall be swept in, free of dust and shall be dried using Mechanical
Broom.
 The temperature of emulsion should be in range of 20-70 o C at time of spraying.
 The rate of emulsion shall be 0.326 liter/sqm.
 After the application of Tack Coat at the specified rate of the spray, the subsequent bituminous layer
(BM/BC) shall be laid.

  Fixed signs, barriers and other traffic control devices shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition till
such time they are required.
 Throughout the construction period site management shall maintain public vehicular access along the
existing right of way.

BITUMINOUS MACADAM CONSTRUCTION

1. Scope

This item of work deals with construction of Bituminous Macadam with approved materials as per the
specifications of contract agreement and shall be dealt in compliance to the clause 504 of specifications.

The construction shall confirm to the specific alignment, lines and grades given in the drawing.

2. Procedure

Mix Design

The mix design shall be carried out. The optimum bitumen content and job mix formula are arrived. The
physical requirements of the aggregate shall confirm to contract specification.

Preparation and Transportation of Mix:

The individual bins of hot mix plant shall be calibrated for the particular size of material.

Material shall be fed to the mixing plant bins provided for individual sizes of aggregates to meet the required
gradation.

The temperature of binder at the time of mixing shall be in the range of 150'C-165'C and the aggregate in the
range 150'C to 170'C .The difference between and the aggregate temperature shall not exceed 15'C any time.

The mix shall be transported to the site with trippers properly covered with tarpaulins.

Preparation of Base:

The sub base shall be checked for proper lines and levels.

The surface shall be swept free from dust with air compressor.

Laying of Bituminous Macadam:

The mix shall be laid with paver finisher. The paver shall have suitable loading hoppers and distribution
mechanism. The paver shall have electronic sensor paver and string wire shall be run on steel pegs driven on
both sides at 10m interval in straight portions and 5m interval in curved portions.

The mix shall be laid manually in places where the paver movement is not possible.

The compaction of BM shall be done as per contract specification. The rolling shall be done with 80-100KN
smooth wheeled tandem roller.

The BM shall be laid in layers of 60mm (as per the cross section) compacted thickness.

The finished layer shall be checked for compaction. The compaction shall be checked by taking cores and the %
compaction shall not be less than 98% of lab Marshal Density as per IRC: 27-2009. The top shall be checked
for level control and the levels shall be within ±6mm of designed level.

3. Equipment/Machinery

Hot Mix Plant 1 No

Tippers 10 Nos as a minimum
Rollers 80 to 100KN Smooth wheeled tandem rollers 2 No as a minimum
Paver Finisher 1 No
Steel pegs 50 Nos minimum.

4. Health, safety and environment

All employees working within the limit of this project shall follow the guidelines / rules & regulations as
mentioned in HSE PLAN.

5. Quality assurance and quality control

Quality Assurance & Quality Control of this work shall be as per Quality Assurance Manual and corresponding
Quality Assurance Plan. All quality records as appended to this procedure shall be maintained in appropriate
formats.

6. Traffic
As per the standard construction practices necessary traffic management measures shall be provided viz. signs,
marking flags, lights and flagmen. Fixed signs, barriers and other traffic control devices shall be maintained in a
satisfactory condition till such time they are required. Throughout the construction period site management
shall maintain public vehicular access along the existing right of way.
