The material (which shall be primarily approved) shall be applied at the rate of 0.20 to
0.50 lit/ sq.m according to RC (Specification 2740) _at the temperature not exceeding
54 °C above the binder course and at where there is a joint with existing asphalt
surface.
The surface shall be cured for the period as per manufacturer's recommendations until
a tacky surface is visible
The hot asphalt mix shall be spread over the cured surface of tack coat by automatic
asphalt paver to the profile thickness 50mm According RC Specification (section -2740)
Asphalt t temperature must be on site between 135-163"C. According RC specification
(Section 2740).
2.5.1.9 Protection
After final rolling, the Contractor shall not permit traffic on asphalt concrete pavement
Until it has cooled and hardened, and in no case sooner than 24 hours unless
Otherwise permitted by the Royal Commission.
The Contractor shall cover openings of structures in the area of paving until
Permanent coverings are placed.
Care shall be taken to prevent damage to the work during subsequent construction
Operations forming part of this Contract.
All means and materials required to protect the work from damage shall be provided
By the Contractor at his expense.
Cause, for the duration of the Contract, shall be repaired, or removed and replaced as
Directed by the Royal Commission, at the Contractor’s expense
TOLERANCES
All asphalt concrete shall be laid within the grade tolerances shown in
Table 3B as compared to the elevations shown and interpolated from the
Drawings for Aggregate Concrete base courses and surface course profiles.
Surface Smoothness
Compacted surfaces will be tested with a 4 m straightedge at selected Locations. The variation of the surface from
the testing edge of the straightedge between any two contact points with the surface when placed parallel or
Perpendicular to the centerline of the highway shall at no point exceed the Limits specified in Table
Location Base Course Surface Course
Straightedge parallel to the centerline 6 mm 4 mm
Straightedge perpendicular to the 6 mm 4 mm
centerline
.
All road humps prepare according to drawing and RC specifications section 02760(2.04).
A proper mat overlap is about 25mm. the hot land should be overlapping the cold lane
such that is enough material for compression. A lack of material or inadequate overlap
will lead to high longitudinal joint air voids. Because joint overlap is so small. It is critical
that the paver be operated on as straight a path as possible for both cold and the hot
lane.
Notch depths at least nominal maximum aggregate size =12.5 to 25 mm over r lap
An extend Joint taper on the first paved lane that help reduce joint air voids. The notches
are at least as deep as nominal maximum aggregate size of the mix are the taper is usually
spread out 5 over about. 0.3m. the hot lane overlap the cold lane notch by about 12.5 t0
25mm and is bumped back to the notch to ensure enough material at the notch for adequate
compaction.

2.5.2 Compaction:
Compaction starts from the hot side almost 150mm away from the joint. The first roller pass
occurs in the vibratory mode with the entire roller wheel on the hot lane and about 150mm
from the joint. This technique puss the material between the roller and joint towards the joint
during the initial roller pass, which crowds the mix at the joint producing a high density.
Most driveways are made with cold asphalt, which is easier to repair than hot asphalt, because
no special tools are required. Asphalt suppliers and home improvement stores frequently sell
cold asphalt in bulk or by bag for minor repairs. Apply new asphalt to a crack or hole as a filler.
Compact over it several times until the material is thoroughly compacted and smooth.
2.5.6.2 Patch
Asphalt contractors commonly patch potholes. Depending on their severity, potholes are
repaired in two basic ways. A minor pothole, which only impacts the surface layer, involves
removing debris from the hole and filling it with new hot asphalt. Once the hole is patched, the
asphalt is flattened using a hand tamper or roller. A section of pavement must be cut to the
sub-grade, or base layer, to repair a large pothole. Once the material is removed with a
jackhammer, each layer of the pavement needs to be refilled, including placing an asphalt
patch on the surface. Compact the repaired area with a hand tamper or roller until it is level.
Asphalt contractors sometimes spray old, brittle roadways with a protective coating, such as
a fog seal or rejuvenator, to stop them from crumbling. A fog seal is made of tar or diluted
asphalt and is sprayed on the pavement. It fills minor cracks and gets rid of surface blemishes.
Drainage system will be arranged according to IFC Drawing and RC Specification section
(02635)
The method and procedures for Road marking will follow the steps below.
Center line will be set out and get approvals about the center line before commencement
of line marking.
Road surface shall be cleaned manually using wire brush and wash the surface where
necessary.
As per the approved road marking design the road marking lines & symbols will be set out
means of white chalk and approval will take by Engineer.
The thermoplastic material is heated in the range of temperature around 170 ~ 200 C and
maintain in the range during the entire laying process.
After getting the approval of the temporary marking on the asphalt surface permanent
marking shall be carried out by considering required color. This machine has the facility of
adding glass beads in to the paint while painting.
All roads marking shall be protected from traffic until the marked paint get dry.
All sign and reflectors fix according to drawing and RC specifications section (02891and
02892).
