Construction Methods
(a) Areas to be cleared
Clearing shall be carried out to the extents deemed necessary and approved or directed by the
Engineer.
In areas which are to be cleared only, and in which grubbing and stripping topsoil are not required,
the methods of work shall be such as will not unduly damage the surface vegetation and topsoil,
and care shall be taken not to disturb the topsoil and the root systems of grasses and other surface
vegetation. No topsoil shall be removed from such areas, except as directed by the Engineer, and
any topsoil, grasses and other surface vegetation otherwise removed or disturbed shall be replaced
and made good at the Contractors expense, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
All water courses shall be cleared of obstructions and kept open throughout the works to prevent
ponding in or adjacent to the work areas. Earth bunds or moulds formed during clearing by
mechanical means shall be levelled off to permit water into existing natural water courses.
(b) Areas to be cleared, grubbed and stripped of topsoil
Except as otherwise shown on the Drawings and/or directed by the Engineer, clearing, grubbing
and stripping topsoil shall be carried out in all areas of roadway excavation and in all areas where
embankment is to be constructed.
SP 2.2
Except where further excavation is required, holes and cavities in the ground surface after clearing,
grubbing and stripping topsoil shall be filled with materials similar to the adjacent ground, and such
that of the surrounding material, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer. This work shall be
considered incidental to the work of clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil, and shall not be
measured for payment.
(c) Topsoil
Topsoil to be stockpiled for the Works shall be sufficiently fertile to promote and support the growth
of vegetation, and shall be taken from such areas where clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil is
required as approved or directed by the Engineer. Topsoil removed during grubbing stripping
operations shall be separated from objectionable materials and spread within the borrow areas, or
otherwise disposed of, as approved or directed by the Engineer.
(d) Structures
Major structures are those which cannot practicably be cleared by bulldozer and/or hydraulic
excavator, whose demolition requires pneumatic tools, explosives and/or other specialized
equipment.
All fences, buildings, structures, and encumbrances of any character except those to be removed
by others or designated to remain, shall be demolished and removed by the Contractor.
Materials designated in the Contract or directed by the Engineer to be salvaged, shall be carefully
removed and stored, and shall be the property of the Employer.
(e) Disposal of material
Unwanted material from clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil (including the demolition of
structures) shall be disposed of as approved or directed by the Engineer.
No burning is allowed at the site.

DEFINITIONS
(1)
Formation Level
Formation level means the top surface of the subgrade.
(2)
Subgrade
Subgrade means the part of the embankment or existing ground in cutting which is immediately
below the subbase or lower subbase of the road pavement and shoulders.
(3)
Common Excavation
Common excavation shall mean excavation in any materials which are not rock or artificial hard
materials.
(4)
Unsuitable Materials
Unsuitable materials shall include:(i)
running silt, peat, logs, stumps, perishable or toxic material, slurry or mud, or,
(ii)
any material,
(a)
consisting of highly organic clay and silt.
(b)
which is clay having a liquid limit exceeding 80% and/or a plasticity index
exceeding 55%,
(c)
which is susceptible to spontaneous combustion,
(d)
which has a loss of weight greater than 2.5% on ignition,
(e)
containing large amounts of roots, grass and other vegetable matter, and
(f)
material having a moisture content making it impossible to achieve the
specified dry density.
3.2
EARTHFILL
Suitable soil materials for earthfill shall be free from organic matter and other deleterious substances,
and containing no rocks or lumps over 150mm in greatest dimension with not more than 15 percent of
the rock or lumps larger than 60mm in greatest dimension.
The material shall be non-cohesive soils, predominantly granular, non-expansive, free from roots, other
organic material and trash. Stones having a maximum dimension greater than 25mm shall not be
placed in the upper 300mm of the embankment.
3.3
SP 3.2
The Contractor shall pay all necessary fees, taxes or royalties to the appropriate authorities and observe
all regulations pertaining to obtaining suitable fill material from approved borrow pits and this shall be
deemed included in his tender price.
3.4
3.5
COMPACTION
The B.S. 1377 Compaction Test (4.5kg rammer method) shall be used in determining the moisture
versus density relation of soil.
The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for his approval the proposed method of compaction for
each main type of material to be used in the embankment. This shall include the type of compaction
plant for each type of material and the number of passes in relation to the loose depth of material to
achieve desired compaction. The maximum compacted thickness for fill shall be limited to 300mm
unless otherwise approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall carry out field compaction trials,
supplemented by any necessary laboratory investigations, as required by the Engineer. This shall be
done by using the procedures proposed by the Contractor for earthworks and shall satisfy the Engineer
that all the specified requirements regarding compaction can be achieved. Compaction trials with the
main types of material likely to be encountered shall be completed before the works with the
corresponding materials will be allowed to commence.
3.5.1
Degree of compaction
The whole of the embankment below the top 300mm of the subgrade shall be compacted to not less
than 90% of the maximum dry density determined in the B.S. 1377 Compaction Test (4.5kg rammer
method).
3.5.2
3.5.3
Moisture control
Each layer of sand fill or earth fill shall be processed as necessary to bring its moisture content to a
uniform level throughout the material, suitable for compaction. The optimum moisture content as
determined by the BS 1377 Compaction Test (4.5kg rammer method) shall be used as a guide in
determining the proper moisture content at which each soil type shall be compacted. Water shall be
added, or the material aerated and dried to adjust the soil to the proper moisture content to obtain the
required density. A satisfactory method and sufficient equipment as approved by the Engineer shall be
used for the furnishing and handling of water.
If the natural water content of suitable materials is too high for the proper compaction to be carried out,
the Contractor can either bring down the moisture content by aeration or drying or alternatively replace it
with suitable materials of compactable moisture range at his own cost.
3.6

4.2.1
General
Materials used as aggregates shall be chemically inert, strong, hard, durable, nonporous, and free from
adhering coatings, clay lumps, coal or coal residue and organic or other impurities that may cause
corrosion of the reinforcement or impair the strength or durability of the concrete. Aggregates shall
comply with MS 29 and B.S. 1201 and be tested in accordance with the requirements of MS 30, B.S.
812 and other standards as specified in Table 4.1.
The aggregates shall be taken from an approved source and shall consist of naturally occurring sand,
stone of igneous origin, crushed or uncrushed, or a combination thereof. They shall not contain water
soluble sulphur trioxide (S03) in excess of 0.1 per cent. For work above ground level, suitable limestone
may also be approved if there is no sulphur content.
Samples of all aggregates and sand shall be delivered to the site for the trial mix tests, in order that the
Engineer may approve the source. If supplies from the approved source subsequently deviate from the
approved samples and do not meet test requirements, then the source will be liable to rejection by the
Engineer.
SP 4.2
The Engineer may require the Contractor at any time to draw samples of aggregates from stockpiles on
the site or any other locations to be indicated by the Engineer for testing by the Engineer according to
the methods detailed in MS 30 and B.S. 812. Costs of such samples shall be borne by the Contractor.
Aggregates which from tests prove unsatisfactory shall either be replaced or shall be washed until
further tests prove satisfactory. All costs and expenses incurred to comply with this requirement shall
be borne by the Contractor. Rejected aggregates shall be removed from the site.
Sieving and remixing of aggregates whose gradings fall outside the specified limits may be permitted at
the sole discretion of the Engineer and at no extra cost to the Employer.
Aggregates shall be stored in bins with clean hard floors. The bin floors shall be constructed so as to
permit free drainage or moisture from the aggregates. Whenever required by the Engineer, aggregates
shall be hosed down to restore the specified standard of cleanliness. Aggregates collected from marine
deposits shall not be used in pre-stressed or steam-cured concrete.

of the reinforcement by the Engineer.
Reinforcement projecting horizontally at construction joints shall be supported in correct position during
concreting by providing sufficient scaffolding and spacer pieces to which the reinforcement should be
tied and held in place.
Bending schedules of the reinforcement bars shall be provided by the Contractor, and shall be made
available for inspection by the Engineer if requested.
4.9
4.9.1
Design
The Contractor shall submit his designs for approval in ample time before the work commences. The
Engineers approval of such designs does not relieve the Contractor in any way of his responsibilities for
such scaffolding and formwork.
The formwork shall be of sufficient strength to withstand all dead and live loads and the pressure of the
wet concrete and the effects of vibrating without distortion and shall be designed with cambers, etc.,
necessary to produce the finished structures to the correct levels and profiles. Formwork below high
water shall be watertight and shall withstand the effects of tides and waves.
All exposed edges and corners shall be provided with a twelve (12) millimeter chamber unless otherwise
directed.

rammed. No plastic type spacers will be permitted.
No part of any metal tie or spacer remaining permanently embedded in the concrete shall be closer than
fifty (50) millimeters to the finished surface of the concrete.
All pipes, bolts, steelwork, and other fixings that are required to be built in or through the concrete shall
firmly fixed in properly aligned position in the formwork, which shall be neatly cut and fitted to suit, joints
being caulked where necessary to prevent the escape of grout. Likewise, cores and other devices used
for forming openings, holes, pockets, chases, etc., shall be fixed to the formwork prior to the wet
concrete reaching their level.
SP 4.7
The inner faces of the formwork shall be formed or treated so as to minimize adherence to the concrete.
If form oil or similar coatings are used, they shall be kept from contact with the reinforcement. If no
water impregnating is applied to wooden forms, they shall be thoroughly wet before concreting starts.
Before any concreting is commenced, all the formwork shall be blown clean to remove dirt, shavings,
sawdust, and other refuse, and all formwork shall be inspected and approved by the Engineer before
any concrete is placed. The compressed air used in cleaning shall be free from any trace of oil film
whatsoever, as confirmed in the presence of the Engineer immediately prior to use.
4.9.4
Removal of Forms
No formwork shall be removed without the approval of the Engineer, but the giving of such approval
shall in no way relieve the Contractor of any of his contractual responsibilities.
The removal of formwork shall be carried out carefully so as to avoid damaging the concrete. Before
soffit forms and props are removed, the concrete shall be exposed by removal of the side forms or
otherwise as required by the Engineer in order to ensure forms may be removed after twenty-four (24)
hours provided the concrete is sufficiently strong so as not to be injured and proper arrangements have
been made for curing.
Load carrying forms may be removed when those site-cured test specimens which are cured in the
same conditions as the permanent work indicate sufficient strength to carry the induced load at or soon
after the time of removal and when the Engineer is satisfied that all the relevant clauses of the
Specification have been met. The removal of formwork and falsework shall be executed by gradual
easing without jarring and only in the presence of a competent supervisor.
Load carrying concrete will be deemed to have sufficient strength to allow removal of the forms when
each of the corresponding site-cured additional test specimens has attained a crushing strength no less
than half the twenty-eight (28) days design strength.
The stripping times given in the following table are the minimum for the several cases, but it is
emphasized that the information given in the table is for the Contractors guidance only and the times
may be varied to suit abnormal climatic conditions and other special circumstances.

Concrete Mix
The concrete mix shall comply with the requirements of the Concrete Mix Table specified hereinafter.
The proportions of cements, fine and coarse aggregates, water, and admixtures necessary to produce
concrete conforming to the requirements of the Concrete Mix Table shall be determined by the
Contractor in a series of trial mixes on the concrete to be used on the job.
The series of trial mixes shall be made at least five (5) weeks before concrete placing is due to start and
shall be sufficiently comprehensive for concrete proportions to be selected to the satisfaction of the
Engineer. Both seven (7) and twenty-eight (28) day strengths of the trial mix, determined as the
average of three (3) test specimens, shall exceed the specified strength. The Engineers approval of the
trial mix including twenty-eight (28) day strength results shall be obtained in writing before any concrete
is permitted to be placed in the works. If possible, the concreting plant and the means of transport to be
employed in the works shall be used to make the trial mixes and to transport them a representative
distance. A clean mixer shall be used and the first batch discarded.
If during the progress of the work, the Contractor desires to use materials or proportions other than
those originally approved, or if the materials from the sources originally approved change in
characteristics, he shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Engineer that the new materials and/or
combination of materials will produce concrete meeting the requirements herein.

The workability of the concrete will be tested at intervals on samples obtained at the place of concreting.
Re: Test No. 6 Hardened Concrete
Samples of concrete for tests will be taken and cubes made, as determined by the Engineer.
Compressive strength will be determined by the Engineer using test cubes 152 x 152 x 152 mm. The
cubes will be compacted by vibration, cured, stored, transported, and tested in accordance with MS 7.1.
The strengths will be determined after twenty-eight (28) days as the averaged of three (3) cubes made
from the same batch of concrete which will be considered as a test. Normally, four (4) cubes will be
made from concrete in a mix selected at random on each day concrete is being placed, or in general for
each one hundred and fifteen (115) cubic meters of concrete whichever is the more often. One of the
four (4) cubes taken at each sampling will be tested at seven (7) days or at the discretion of the
Engineer and the remaining three (3) cubes will form a twenty-eight days test as described above.
Additional cubes may in certain cases be tested after seven (7) days.
A record of all tests identifying the test cubes with the part of the work executed will be kept on the Site
by the Engineer and made available to the Contractor on request.
If the specified requirements have not been met, the Contractor shall take such remedial action as the
Engineer may order, and shall, before the proceeding with the concreting, submit for the Engineers
approval, details of the action proposed to ensure that the concrete still to be placed in the works will
comply with the Specifications.
To determine the permissible time for removal of load carrying forms, extra test cubes will be cast and
cured under the same conditions as the permanent work. The cubes will be tested in sufficient time
before removal of forms for the Engineer to evaluate the result.
The Engineer may require cylindrical core specimens to be cut from the hardened concrete where the
specified cube strength requirements have not been met. The Contractor shall arrange for cores to be
cut and the specimens shall be dealt with in accordance with MS 26 and B.S. 1881.
The cutting equipment and method of doing the work shall be approved by the Engineer. Prior to
preparation for testing, the specimens shall be made available to the Engineer.
If the compressive strength of any core specimen is less than the twenty-eight (28) days characteristic
strength as described in the Concrete Mix Table, or if, in the opinion of the Engineer, the concrete fails
to meet the specified requirements in other respects, the concrete in that part of the works in which it is
a sample will be considered not to comply with the specified requirements and shall be replaced if so
directed by the Engineer, all at the Contractors expense.
4.12
CONCRETE WORKMANSHIP
4.12.1
Storage of Materials
Cement, aggregates, or admixtures shall be stored on the Site in such a manner as to prevent
deterioration or contamination by foreign matter. Any material which, in the opinion of the Engineer, has
deteriorated or has been contaminated or otherwise damaged shall not be used for concrete and shall
forthwith be removed from the Site at the Contractors expense.
4.12.2
Concreting Plant
Any concreting plant erected by the Contractor shall be suitable in type, capacity, and design for its
purpose. The performance of the plant and its disposition shall be to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Concreting plant as referred to herein include any aggregate or cement handling and storage plant,
batching and mixing plant, transporting, depositing and vibrating plant.
4.12.3
Batching
Materials for designs mix concrete shall be weight-batched. Aggregate may be weighed cumulatively,
but cement shall then be weighed on a separate scale.
SP 4.12
Water shall be measured by weight or by volume. Allowance shall be made throughout for the moisture
content of the aggregates by approved means. Admixtures, if permitted, shall be measured using
suitable dispensers, and shall be used strictly in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Weight-batches shall be calibrated frequency and whenever so required by the Engineer.
After each concreting, the Contractor should check that the cement content is as specified above by
comparing the volume of concrete cast against the number of bags of cement used.
4.12.4
4.12.5
Workability
The concrete shall be of such consistency that it can be readily worked into the corners and angles of
the formwork and around reinforcement without segregation of the materials or bleeding of free water at
the surface. On striking the formwork it shall present a face, which is uniform, free from honey-combing,
surface crazing, or subsequent excessive dusting, and which shall not, in the opinion of the Engineer,
be inferior to the standard referred to below.
In order to satisfy the Engineer that the workability of the proposed mix is adequate for the requirements
of the Specification, the Contractor shall carry out a series of workability tests on the preliminary trial
mixes. These tests shall be carried out in accordance with MS 7.1, or such other procedure as may be
approved by the Engineer. The samples to be tested shall be obtained from the batches used for the
preliminary test cubes.

embedded items, or formwork. It shall be bought up in horizontal layers not exceeding four hundred
(400) millimeters in compacted thickness unless otherwise authorize or directed by the Engineer.
Placing shall be continuous between specified or approved construction joints without undue
interruptions including lunch periods.
Where chutes are used to convey the concrete, their slopes shall be such as not to cause segregation,
and suitable spouts sor baffles shall be provided to obviate segregation during discharge. Concrete
shall not be allowed to fall freely more than one (1) metre.
Where pneumatic placers are used, the velocity of discharge shall be regulated by suitable baffles or
hoppers where necessary, to prevent segregation or damage and distortion of the reinforcement, other
embedded items and formwork, caused by impact.
The concrete shall be placed in its final position in the forms before loss of workability occurs, and in no
case later than forty-five (45) minutes after the mixing water has been added. Adding water after mixing
(tempering) will not be permitted.
Concreting shall not take place if rain will cause damage to the concrete.
Fresh concrete shall not be placed against insitu concrete which has been in position for more than 45
minutes (or any other period of time as approved by the Engineer if admixture is used) unless a
construction joint is formed in accordance with Sub-Section 4.12.7. When insitu concrete has been in
place for four (4) hours, no further concrete shall be place against it for a further twenty (20) hours.
No concrete shall be placed in flowing water. Underwater concrete if deemed unavoidable by the
Engineer shall be placed in position by tremies or pipelines from the mixer. Concrete to be placed
under water shall be an approved mix with the amount of cement increased by 20%. During and after
concreting under water, pumping or dewatering operations in the immediate vicinity shall be suspended
until the Engineer permits them to continue. Where the concrete is placed by a tremie, the following
requirements shall be applicable:i)
unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer, when concreting of bored piles is being carried out
under water, temporary casing shall be installed to the full depth of the borehole so that
fragments of ground cannot drop from the sides of the hole into the concrete as it is placed;
ii)
the hopper and tremie pipe shall be a closed system. The bottom of the tremie shall be kept
as far as practicable beneath the surface of the placed concrete;
iii)
the tremie pipe shall be large enough with due regard to the size of aggregate. For 20 mm
aggregate the tremie pipe shall be of diameter not less than 150 mm and for larger aggregate,
larger diameter tremie pipe shall be required;
iv)
unless otherwise agreed by the Engineer, the first charge of concrete shall be placed with a
sliding plug pushed down the tube ahead of it to prevent mixing of concrete and water;
v)
the tremie pipe shall always penetrate well into the concrete with an adequate margin of safety
against accidental withdrawal if the pipe is surged to discharged the concrete;
vi)
the concrete shall be deposited wholly by tremie and the method of deposition shall not be
changed part way up to prevent the laitance from being entrapped within the structure;
vii)
During hot weather, additional precautions shall be taken to prevent premature setting and lose of water
during placing of concrete in the formwork. These precautions shall include:
i)
ii)
concrete shall not be placed in formwork or around reinforcement whose temperature exceeds
36 degrees C;
iii)
newly placed concrete shall be protected from direct sunlight and from loss of moisture by
covering, shading or other means;
iv)
no concrete shall be placed when the air temperature at the point of deposition exceeds 36
degrees C.

All concrete shall be compacted by means of power driven, immersion type vibrators of approved type
and performance. The vibrators shall be of a number, size, and capacity to suit the rate of placing,
dimensions of concrete, and reinforcement. The concrete shall be fully compacted throughout the full
extent of each horizontal layer. It shall be thoroughly worked against the formwork and around any
reinforcement and other embedded items without displacing them. Successive layers of the same lift
shall be thoroughly worked. Proper vibration techniques shall be employed as directed.
Over-vibration causing segregation, surface laitance, or leaking through formwork shall be avoided.
Immersion vibrators shall be withdrawn slowly to prevent the formation of voids. Vibrators shall not be
used in such a way as to damage formwork or other embedded items. The formation of air bubbles
against vertical or slopping formwork shall be prevented as far as is practicable with proper placement
techniques and tapping of the form in the immediate work area.
All horizontal top surfaces shall be screeded off of screeds as approved to produce an even surface to
the correct level. Surplus concrete shall be removed immediately after consolidation by striking off with
sawing motion of a straight edge or template. When some stiffening has taken place in the surface
concrete and the moisture film has disappeared, the surface shall receive a foated finished with a
uniform texture and free of screed marks.
The horizontal top surface of all concrete walkways shall be finished by brooming to produce a lightly
brush-marked surface to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
4.12.7
Construction Joints
Concreting shall be carried out continuously up to construction joints, the position and arrangement of
which shall be as indicated on the Drawings or as approved or instructed by the Engineer.
Reinforcement shall be continuous through such joints.
When directed by the Engineer, suitable keys shall be formed on vertical and horizontal joints.
Should a construction joint become necessary other than shown on the Drawings, owing to plant
breakdown or other unforeseen reasons, a bulk-head at right angles to the principal lines of stress shall
be provided. If, however, the location is near a support or at other location considered undesirable by
the Engineer, then the concrete shall be broken back until a suitable location has been reached.
When work has to be resumed on a surface which has set, the whole surface shall be thoroughly
roughened. It shall be cleaned of all loose and foreign matter and laitance, washed with water and all
free water removed before placing the fresh concrete which shall be well compacted against the joint.
Immediately prior to placing fresh concrete, the contact surface shall be coated with a cement slurry of
one part water and three parts cements.
Placing of concrete over horizontal construction joints shall be started by placing on the joint surface a
layer of the specified concrete from which half the amount of coarse aggregates has been omitted.

SP 4.15
4.12.10 Curing
Concrete shall be protected during the first stage of hardening from the harmful effects of direct
sunshine, drying winds, rain, or running water. The protection shall be applied as soon as practicable
after completion of casting. The concrete shall be covered with a layer of sacking, canvas, straw mats,
or similar absorbent material, or a layer of sand, kept constantly wet for ten (10) days in the case of
ordinary Portland Cement concrete, or seven (7) days in the case of rapid hardening cement concrete.
The cost of the curing shall be deemed to be included in the Contract Sum.
Curing water shall be of a quality similar to the mixing water and shall not stain the concrete exposed to
view.
4.12.11 Repairs and Rejection of Finished Concrete
All finished concrete surfaces shall be true to the required profiles and finished, dense, smooth and free
from air holes, honey-combing, and other faults.
After the removal of the formwork, the work shall be inspected by the Engineer before any touching up is
done. Minor blemishes such as small fins, etc., any then be dealt with by stoning or bagging and small
air holes stopped with mortar, all as approved by the Engineer.
Any work out of true or with honey-combing or other faults shall be cut back to the extent ordered by the
Engineer and made good with new concrete where larger amounts are involved or in the case of small
amounts, with fine concrete epoxy mortar or grout, as approved by the Engineer.
Where, after proof testing, members or structures are not accepted, the Contractor shall either carry out
strengthening, or cut out and replace the defective material, as the Engineer may order. If seven (7)
day tests indicate concrete might fail, the Engineer may stop the work on this section until the twentyeight (28) day results are known and may direct special curing procedures.
Any cost arising out of remedial measures as described in this clause shall be borne by the Contractor.

Construction Methods
Prior to placing any crushed aggregate roadbase material, the underlying subgrade or lower subbase or
subbase shall have been shaped and compacted in accordance with the provisions of the appropriate
Section of this Specification. Notwithstanding any earlier approval of finished subgrade or lower subbase
or subbase, any damage to or deterioration of the subgrade or lower subbase or subbase shall be made
good to the satisfaction of the Engineer before crushed aggregate roadbase is constructed.
Crushed aggregate roadbase shall be placed to the required width and thickness as shown on the
Drawings or directed by the Engineer in one layer or more, each layer not exceeding 200mm compacted
thickness. There two or more layers are required they shall be of approximately equal thickness and
none shall be less than 100mm compacted thickness. Spreading shall be done by a mechanical
spreader approved by the Engineer or, if approved by the Engineer, by motor grader.
Prior to spreading, crushed aggregate roadbase shall be processed as necessary to bring its moisture
content to a uniform level throughout the material suitable for compaction. Spread material shall be
maintained at the correct moisture content for proper compaction by sprinkling with water or drying as
may be necessary, and shall be compacted using suitable compaction equipment approved by the
Engineer to not less than 95% of the maximum dry density determined in the B.S. 1377 Compaction
Test (4.5kg rammer method).
Compaction shall be carried out in a longitudinal direction along the carriageway and shall generally
begin at the outer edge and progress uniformly towards the centre on each side, except on
superelevation curves where rolling shall begin at the lower edge and progress uniformly towards the
higher edge. In all cases compaction shall be carried out in such a manner that each section receives
equal compactive effort, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Throughout the placing, adjustment of moisture content and compaction of crushed aggregate roadbase
material, care shall be taken to maintain a uniform gradation of the material and prevent its separation
into coarse and fine parts, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The crushed aggregate roadbase shall be finished in a neat and workmanlike manner; its width shall be
everywhere at least that specified or shown on the Drawings on both sides of the centre-line; and its
average thickness over any 100 metre length shall be not less than the required thickness. The top
surface of the crushed aggregate roadbase shall have the required shape, superelevation, levels and
grades.

Anti-Stripping Agent
Ordinary Portland cement shall be added to the combined aggregate for asphaltic concrete to serve as
an adhesion and anti-stripping agent. The amount of cement added for this purpose shall be 2% by
weight of the combined aggregate. (Additional cement may also be added, if necessary, to serve as
filler.)
Ordinary Portland cement for this purpose shall conform to the requirements of M.S. 522, and shall be
dry, free flowing and free from agglomerations at the time of use.
Notwithstanding the use of ordinary Portland cement as an anti-stripping agent as specified above, the
Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the bitumen binder adheres satisfactorily to the
aggregate and does not strip from it during the service life of the asphaltic concrete.
Accordingly the Contractor shall carry out bitumen stripping tests with the proposed aggregates to
demonstrate to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer that the aggregates will perform satisfactorily in
service with the specified bitumen binder. Such tests shall be carried out in accordance with AASHTO
Test Method T 182, or such other test methods as the Engineer shall direct or approve. When AASHTO
Test Method T 182 is used, the coated area at the end of the mixture's period of immersion in water
shall be not less than 95%.

8.4.7
Construction Methods
(a) General conditions
Asphaltic concrete paving work shall only be carried out in dry weather when the surface to be
covered is dry, or if so specified, has received a bituminous tack coat which shall have achieved a
satisfactory degree of tackiness, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer. All laying, rolling and
finishing work shall be carried out during daylight hours, unless the Contractor shall have provided
suitable flood-lighting for the job site, to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The Engineer may order the discontinuation of work on account of adverse weather, unsatisfactory
condition of materials, equipment or surface to be paved, or such other conditions as he shall
consider detrimental to the work.
(b) Surface preparation and cleaning
Prior to constructing an asphaltic concrete pavement layer, the surface to be covered shall have
been prepared in accordance with the appropriate sections of these Specifications. Notwithstanding
any earlier approval of this surface, any damage to or deterioration of it shall be made good before
asphaltic concrete paving work is commenced.
If the surface to be covered is not to be provided with a bituminous tack coat, then immediately prior
to commencing asphaltic concrete paving, it shall be swept using a power broom followed by a
compressed air blower, and if necessary scraped using hand tools, to remove all loose particles,
dirt, dust and other objectionable material, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
If the surface to be covered is to be provided with a bituminous tack coat, then this shall be applied
all in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4.7.
(c) Aggregate handling and heating
Each aggregate to be used in the asphaltic concrete mixes shall be stored in a separate stockpile
near the mixing plant. Stockpiles of sand and other fine aggregates shall be kept dry using
waterproof
covers
SP 8.9
and other means as necessary. In placing the aggregates in the stockpiles and loading them into
the mixing plant's cold aggregate feed bins, care shall be taken to prevent segregation or
uncontrolled combination of materials of different gradation. Segregated or contaminated materials
shall be rescreened or rejected for use in the works and removed from the mixing plant site.
The aggregates shall be fed into the dryer at a uniform rate proportioned in accordance with the
appropriate job mix formula. The rate of feed for each aggregate shall be maintained within 10% of
the rate prescribed and the total rate of feed shall be such that the plant's screens shall never be
overloaded.
The aggregates shall be dried and heated so that when delivered to the mixer they shall be at a
o
o
temperature in the range 150 C to 170 C when the binder is bitumen of penetration grade 80 100. If the binder is other than bitumen of penetration grade 80 - 100, the Engineer shall specify an
appropriate range for the mixing temperature.
Immediately after heating, the aggregates shall be screened into four (or more) fractions which shall
be separately sorted in the hot aggregate storage bins in readiness for mixing.
Ordinary Portland cement and/or other mineral filler to be used in the mix shall be stored separately
and kept completely dry. Its rate of feed into the plant shall be accurately controlled by weight or
volumetric measurement, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
(d) Heating of bitumen
The binder shall be heated so that when delivered to the mixer it shall be at a temperature in the
range 140o C to 160o C when the binder is bitumen of penetration grade 80 - 100. If the binder is
other than bitumen of penetration grade 80 - 100, the Engineer shall specify an appropriate range
for the mixing temperature.
(e) Mixing asphaltic concrete
The mixing plant shall be so coordinated and operated as to consistently produce asphaltic
concrete mixes within the tolerances prescribed in these Specifications, all to the satisfaction of the
Engineer.
(f)
SP 8.10
The plant shall be so adjusted as to maintain the level of mixture in the pugmill such that the tips of
the paddle blades just break out of the mixtures at the height of their action.
(h) Transportation of asphaltic concrete
Asphaltic concrete shall be transported from the mixing plant to the site of the paving works in loads
of not less than 5 tons using tip-trucks. Except where asphaltic concrete is to be hand laid, it shall
be discharged directly into the paver hopper, as required, from the tip-trucks. Care shall be taken in
the truck loading, hauling and unloading operations to prevent segregation of the mix. During
transportation, the asphaltic concrete shall be protected from contamination by water, dust, dirt and
other deleterious materials.
The temperature of asphaltic concrete immediately before unloading from the truck either into the
o
paver hopper or on to the road for hand spreading shall be not less than 125 C when the binder is
bitumen of penetration grade 80 - 100. If the binder is other than bitumen of penetration grade 80 100, the Engineer shall specify an appropriate minimum unloading temperature. Any load which has
cooled below the specified temperature in the truck shall be rejected for use in the works and
removed from the site of the works.
(i)
(j)
Construction joints
Existing bituminous surfacing which new bituminous mix is to adjoin shall be cut back to present a
straight, vertical edge not less than 25mm deep and a smooth transition section not less than 0.5
metre long against which to lay the new material. The specified thickness of the new surfacing shall
be built up gradually from the vertical joint to avoid any bumps or ridges across the carriageway.
Where longitudinal or transverse joints are required in a layer of bituminous mix under construction,
the material first laid and compacted shall be cut back to a vertical face for the full thickness of the
layer, on a line satisfactory to the Engineer before the adjacent area is paved.
SP 8.11
At all construction joints a thin uniform coating of bitumen emulsion of grade RS-1 shall be brushed
on to the vertically cut joint faces some 10 to 15 minutes before laying the next section of
bituminous mix commences to ensure good bonding. Also all contact surfaces of kerbs, gutters,
manholes, catchpits, etc., shall be similarly treated with a coating of bitumen emulsion before
bituminous mix is placed against them.
Construction joints in a layer of bituminous mix shall be offset from those in any immediately
underlying bituminous layer by at least 100mm for longitudinal joints and at least 0.5 metre, where
possible, for transverse joints.
(k) Compaction of asphaltic concrete
For each layer of asphaltic concrete, compaction by rolling shall commence as soon as after laying
as the material will support the rollers without undue displacement; nevertheless the temperature of
asphaltic concrete at the commencement of rolling shall be not less than 110o C when the binder is
bitumen of penetration grade 80 - 100. If the bitumen is other than bitumen penetration grade 80 100, the Engineer shall specify an appropriate minimum rolling temperature.
In any areas inaccessible to the rollers, proper compaction shall be carried out using vibrating plate
compactors, hand tampers or other suitable means, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Initial (or breakdown) rolling shall be carried out with an approved steel wheeled tandem roller or
three wheeled steel roller. The principal heavy rolling shall be carried out with an approved
pneumatic tyred roller immediately following the initial rolling; the pneumatic tyred roller shall be
ballasted to an operating weight of not less than 15 tons and its tyre inflation pressure shall be not
less than 0.7 N/mm 2 . The final rolling shall be carried out with an approved steel wheeled
tandem roller and shall serve to eliminate minor surface irregularities left by the pneumatic tyred
roller.
All rollers shall operate in a longitudinal direction along the carriageway with their driven wheels
towards the paver. Rolling shall generally commence at the lower edge of the paved width and
progress uniformly to the higher edge, except that where there is a longitudinal construction joint at
the higher edge, this shall be rolled first ahead of the normal pattern of rolling. Generally successive
roller passes shall overlap by half the width of the roller, and the points at which the roller is
reversed shall be staggered. However, when operating on gradients in excess of 4%, the
breakdown roller shall not pass over any previously unrolled mix when operating in the downhill
direction.
In all cases compaction shall be carried out in such a manner that each section receives equal
compactive effort, all to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
The steel wheeled rollers shall operate at speeds of not more than 5 kph and the pneumatic tyred
roller shall operate at speeds of not more than 8 kph. No roller or heavy vehicle shall be allowed to
stand on newly laid bituminous mix before compaction has been completed and the material has
thoroughly cooled and set. Rolling shall continue as long as is necessary to achieve the appropriate
requirement in the following table.
Type of Pavement

be not less than the required thickness minus 5mm. The top surface of a wearing or binder course
shall have the required shape, superelevation, levels and grades, and shall be everywhere within
the tolerances specified in Section 1.2.
(m) Opening to traffic
Asphaltic concrete shall not be opened to traffic until compaction has been completed and the
material has thoroughly cooled and set in the opinion of the Engineer. This will usually be not less
than 4 hours after the commencement of rolling. Where it is necessary to allow earlier use of the
finished surface to facilitate the movement of traffic, the finished surface to facilitate the movement
of traffic, vehicles may be allowed to run on the work after rolling has been completed, provided that
speeds are restricted to 30 kph or less and sharp turning movements are prohibited.
