5.0 MATERIALS REQUIRED

5.1 The material shall be clean, crushed, graded aggregate and granular
material produced from the multiple stage crushing and screening plant,
premixed with water, to a dense mass on a prepared GSB.

5.2 The aggregate blend for WMM for roads shall confirm to grading
requirements mentioned in table 400-13 in MoR&TH specification.

5.3 The material to be used shall have Los Angeles abrasion value not more
than 40% or aggregate impact value not more than 30%, combined
flakiness and elongation Indices not more than 35%, PI value not more
than 6%. If water absorption is more than 2%, soundness test shall be
carried out.

6.0 PROCEDURE
.

6.1 Width of WMM shall be marked before commencement

6.2 Wet Mix Macadam shall be prepared, as per the approved design proportion, in
the Pug mill plant with controlled addition of water.

6.3 Gradation of the mix shall be checked as the production starts for the day at the
site laboratory itself.

6.4 Generally, 1.0 to 2% extra moisture shall be maintained in the mix to compensate
the evaporation losses depending upon the lead and ambient temperature.

6.5 GSB surface shall be free of dust and other extraneous materials.

6.6 Water shall be sprinkled along with proof rolling will be done on the GSB surface
prior to WMM operation.

6.7 Before laying and spreading of material, the shoulder on both sides shall be
constructed in advance. This will laterally confine the wet mix macadam while
compacting

6.8 The wet mix shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon the prepared GSB by
motor grader. The longitudinal and transverse joints will be cut vertically.

6.9 The required camber, grade, and thickness shall be checked.

6.10 The number of heavy vibratory passes shall be established after doing trial
stretch to achieve required density.

6.11 All the depressions, high spots, segregated locations shall be made correct
during initial rolling itself.

6.12 Camber shall be checked and corrected if required before final rolling.

6.13 Finally, one plain pass shall be given on the entire length of the stretch.

6.14 Speed of the roller shall be maintained uniformly (not exceeding 5km/hr.)
during rolling.

6.15 After rolling compaction test shall be carried out to check its degree of
compaction by any suitable method.

7.0 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

7.1 The Field Dry density shall be at least 98% of MDD.

7.2 The tolerance on the surface level shall be +/- 10mm

8.0 SEFETY MEASURES

8.1 All safety measures shall be as per approved Safety Plan.

8.2 Traffic will be allowed after drying the WMM surface for 24 hrs. Except

construction equipment, dumper and project vehicle no traffic (except light

vehicle) will be allowed on finished WMM layer.
