Open General: (!) C2 Major comment:
The material samples were collected on 21/09/2021 and the tests were
carried out between 22/09/2021 and 29/09/2021. According to the
information at our disposal, the capping layer was completed on
29/09/2021 between KP50+100 and 52+100.
The samples appear to have been collected before the capping layer
was laid and not during the laying of the capping layer. Furthermore,
no location of the collected samples has been registered.
The materials tested do not seem to correspond to the materials used
in the capping layer trial section, which is the main topic of this report.
The tests are therefore not representative of the capping layer
materials used.

01. Trial section reports of existing asphalt removal and preparation of Capping layer - R2……En & Fr
The purpose of this trial section is to check characteristics of the mixture of capping layer
material (laterite blended with sand) and existing GNT material, preparation of proposed
capping layer from PK51+150 to PK51+400 Right Hand Side (RHS), mixing, grading, rolling,
compaction and other required field implementation test to ensure the quality of prepared
capping layer. The preparation of capping layer has been carried out following submitted
method statement “Method Statement for Existing asphalt removal and preparation of Capping
Layer – R2”. After mixing and grading the mixture material sample collected on 21.09.2021. The
material was tested in laboratory at base camp PK50 and found the test results on 29.09.2021
complying the Employer’s Requirements Part III.02: Performance Specifications clause 5.1.4.
The field tests were conducted as per Employer’s requirements and test results were found
within the specification limit.

L'objectif de cette planche d'essai est de vérifier les caractéristiques du mélange du matériau de la
couche de forme (latérite mélangée à du sable) et du matériau GNT existant, la préparation de la
couche de forme proposée de PK51+150 à PK51+400 côté droit (RHS), le mélange, le nivellement,
le roulage, le compactage et d'autres tests de mise en œuvre sur le terrain nécessaires pour garantir
la qualité de la couche de forme préparée. La préparation de la couche de forme a été effectuée
conformément à la déclaration de méthode soumise "Déclaration de méthode pour l'enlèvement de
l'asphalte existant et la préparation de la couche de forme - R2".
