than asphalt's melt point, at the completion of this stage.

of the road and progress directly towards the higher side of the road.
· For an ascending and descending road, the compaction shall begin at the
lowest point and move towards the highest part of the road, parallel to the

necessary to moist the wheel of the Tandem Roller with water previously.

which is to be rolled.

The spreading and compaction shall be done according the method described
above, and shall not have too many continuations in the road.
If continuation shall be made, the Contractor shall ensure that the setting of the
road is done perfectly and that the thickness is the same.
Where the asphalt mix layer which has already been rolled is to be connected with
the new asphalt mix, the edge of the previous asphalt mix shall be made vertical
by cutting, and this aforementioned vertical edge shall be given a tack coat to
obtain greater strength at the connection face.
5.4.9. Supervision of Laying
The supervision of laying shall be done according to the following sequences:
- Analysis of the quantity and level's uniformity of the tack coat.

- Analysis of level's uniformity, the gradient, the continuations, the spread's
thickness and its temperature before compaction.
- Analysis of temperature at every compaction, method of compaction and
results of the compaction.
The asphalt concrete road may be open for slow speed traffic after the last
compaction is finished and the asphalt's temperature is low enough (according
to the type of asphalt), or after approximately 2 (two) hours. The road can be
open for full traffic after 4 (four) hours.
