3.7.5 SPREADING: Prior to spreading the mix the base shall be prepared by carrying out the required operations as per clause 501.8 (Specifications for Road and Bridge Works-Fifth Revision) depending upon the site conditions. The mix transferred from the tipper at site to the paver shall be spread immediately by means of self propelled mechanical paver with suitable screeds capable of spreading, tamping, and finishing the mix true to the specified lines, grades and cross-sections. However, in restricted locations and in narrow widths where the available plant cannot be operated the opinion of the Engineer, he may permit manual laying of the mix. When laying binder course or wearing course approaching an expansion joint of a structure, machine laying shall stop 300mm short of the joint. The remainder of the pavement up to the joint, and the corresponding area beyond it, shall be laid by hand, and the joint or joint cavity shall be kept clear of surfacing material. Bituminous material, with a temperature greater than 145o C, shall not be laid or deposited on bridge deck waterproofing systems, unless precautions against heat damage have been approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. Where longitudinal joints are made in pre-mixed bituminous materials, the materials shall be fully compacted and the joint made flush in one of the following ways; only method (iii) shall be used for transverse joints:

(i) By heating the joints with an approved joint heater when the adjacent widths is being laid, but without cutting back or coating with binder. The heater shall raise the temperature of the full depth of material, to within the specified range of minimum rolling temperature and maximum temperature at any stage for the material, for a width not less than 75mm. The contractor shall have equipment available, for use in the event of a heater breakdown, to form joints by method (iii).

(ii) By using two or more pavers operating in echelon, where this is practicable, and in sufficient proximity for adjacent widths to be fully compacted by continuous rolling.



(iii) By cutting back the exposed joint, for a distance equal to the specified layer thickness, to a vertical face, discarding all loosened material and coating the vertical face completely with 80/100 or 60/70 penetration grade hot bitumen, or cold applied bitumen, or polymer modified adhesive bitumen tape with a minimum thickness of 2mm, before the adjacent width is laid.

All joints shall be offset at least 300mm from parallel joints in the layer beneath or as directed, and in a layout approved by the Engineer-in-Charge. Joints in the wearing course shall coincide with either the lane edge or the lane marking, whichever is appropriate. Longitudinal joints shall not be situated in wheel track zones.

3.7.6 COMPACTION: Rolling shall start as soon as possible after the material has been spread deploying a set of rollers as the rolling is to be completed in limited time frame. The roller shall move at a speed not more than 5-Km/hrs. rolling shall be done with care to avoid unduly roughening of the pavement surface.

Rolling of the longitudinal joints shall be done immediately behind the paving operation. After this, the rolling shall commence at the edges and progress towards the centre longitudinally except that on superelevated and uni-directional cambered portions, it shall progress from the lower to the upper edge parallel to the centre line of the pavement. The initial or break-down rolling shall be done with 8-10 Tonnes dead weight smooth wheeled roller as soon as it is possible to roll the mix without cracking the surface or having the mix pick up on the roller wheels. The second or intermediate rolling shall follow the break-down rolling with 8-10 Tonnes dead weight or vibratory roller or pneumatic tyred roller of 12 to 15 Tonnes weight having nine wheels, and minimum tyre pressure of 5.60 kg/sq.cm. as closely as possible to the paver and be done while the paving mix is still at a temperature that will result in maximum density. The final rolling shall be done while material is still workable enough for removal of roller marks, with 6-8 smooth wheeled tandem rollers. When the roller has passed over the whole area once, any high spots or depressions, which become apparent, shall be corrected by removing or adding mix material. The rolling shall then be continued till the entire surface has been rolled to 95 percent of the average laboratory density as specified in MOST specifications for Road and Bridge Works, fifth revision. There is no crushing of aggregates and all roller marks have been eliminated.

9.11.3.1.2 The rate of delivery of material to the paver shall be regulated to enable the paver to operate continuously. The travel rate of the paver, and its method of operations, shall be adjusted to ensure an even and uniform flow of bituminous material across the screed, free from dragging, tearing and segregation of the material.



9.11.3.1.3 The minimum thickness of material laid in each paver pass shall be on accordance with the minimum values given in the relevant parts of the specifications. When laying binder course or wearing course approaching an expansion joint of a structure, machine laying shall stop 300mm short of the joint. The remainder of the pavement up to the joint, and the corresponding area beyond it, shall be laid by hand, and the joint or joint cavity shall be kept clear of surfacing material. 9.11.3.1.4 Bituminous material, with temperature greater than 145o C, shall not be laid or deposited on bridge deck. 9.11.3.2 The mix transferred from the tipper at site to paver shall be spread immediately by means of self propelled paver with suitable screeds capable of spreading, tamping and finishing the mix true to the specified lines, grades and cross sections. The paver finisher shall have the following essential features: - 9.11.3.2.1 Loading hoppers and suitable distributing mechanism. 9.11.3.2.2 All drives having Hydrostatic drive/control. 9.11.3.2.3 The machine shall have a hydraulically extendable screed for appropriate width requirement. 9.11.3.2.4 The screed shall have tamping and vibrating arrangement for initial compaction to the layer as it is spread without netting or otherwise marring the surface. It shall have adjustable amplitude and variable frequency. 9.11.3.2.5 The paver shall be equipped with necessary control mechanism so as to ensure that the finished surface is free from surface blemishes. 9.11.3.2.6 The screed shall have the internal heating arrangement. 9.11.3.2.7 The Paver shall be capable of laying either 2.5M to 4.0M widths. 9.11.3.2.8 The paver shall be so designed as to eliminate shedding/slipping of the tyres during operation. 9.11.3.3 Safety of machine and operator and during night hour shall be of the Contractor. 9.11.3.4 All repair in case of off road of Paver will be done by the Contractor. 9.11.3.5 Hand placing of pre-mixed bituminous materials shall only be permitted in the following circumstances :

For laying regulating courses of irregular shape and varying thickness. In confined spaces where it is impracticable for paver to operate. For filling of pot holes. 9.11.3.6 Manual spreading of pre-mixed wearing course material or the addition of such material by hand-spreading shall to the paved-area, for adjustment of level, shall only be permitted in following circumstances:

At the edges of the layers of material and at gullies and man holes. At the approaches to expansion joints of bridge decks. As directed by

Engineer-in-charge/OC Contract. 9.11.4 CLEANLINESS AND OVERLAYING: Bituminous material shall be kept clean and uncontaminated. Should any bituminous material become contaminated, the Contractor shall make it good to the satisfaction of Engineer-in-Charge.

9.11.5 COMPACTION: Rolling shall start as soon as possible after the material has been spread deploying a set of rollers as the rolling is to be completed in limited time frame. The roller shall move at a speed not more than 5-Km/hrs. rolling shall be done with care to avoid unduly roughening of the pavement surface.



Rolling of the longitudinal joints shall be done immediately behind the paving operation.

After this, the rolling shall commence at the edges and progress towards the centre longitudinally except that on superelevated and uni-directional cambered portions, it shall progress from the lower to the upper edge parallel to the centre line of the pavement. The initial or break-down rolling shall be done with 8-10 Tonnes dead weight smooth wheeled roller as soon as it is possible to roll the mix without cracking the surface or having the mix pick up on the roller wheels. The second or intermediate rolling shall follow the break-down rolling with 8-10 Tonnes dead weight or vibratory roller or pneumatic tyred roller of 12 to 15 Tonnes weight having nine wheels, and minimum tyre pressure of 5.60 kg/sq.cm. as closely as possible to the paver and be done while the paving mix is still at a temperature that will result in maximum density. The final rolling shall be done while material is still workable enough for removal of roller marks, with 6-8 smooth wheeled tandem rollers. When the roller has passed over the whole area once, any high spots or depressions, which become apparent, shall be corrected by removing or adding mix material. The rolling shall then be continued till the entire surface has been rolled to 95 percent of the average laboratory density as specified in MOST specifications for Road and Bridge Works, fifth revision. There is no crushing of aggregates and all roller marks have been eliminated. The roller wheel shall be kept damp if necessary to avoid bituminous material from sticking to the wheels and being picked up. In no case shall fuel, lubricating oil be used for this purpose, nor excessive water poured on the wheels. Roller(s) shall not stand on newly laid material while there is a risk that surface will be deformed thereby. The edges along and transverse of the bituminous macadam laid and compacted earlier shall be cut to their full depth so as to expose fresh surface which shall be painted with a thin surface coat of appropriate binder before the new mix is placed against it. 9.11.6 OPENING TO TRAFFIC

The newly laid surface shall not be open to traffic for at least 24 hours after laying and the completion of compaction, without the written approval of the Engineer-In-Charge.

9.11.7 SURFACE FINISH AND QUALITY CONTROL
