2. Scope of work:

The following list of principal features is intended as a guide only and should in no way be considered an all-inclusive description of the work and does not relieve the contractor from the responsibility to complete the work in accordance with the applicable construction drawings, schedules, regulations and specifications.

2.1 Demolition work

2.2 New Work

2.2.1 Civil

2.2.1.1 The Contractor shall seal all cracks and joints of medium or higher severity in an extension of approximately (but no less than) 55,000.00 m. Priming is required before sealing.

A ready mixed emulsion primer shall be used, one that is that assures deep penetration and that softens the old bitumen to secure proper adhesion.

Cracks shall be cleaned and dry before priming.

2.2.1.2 All cracks shall be filled with a modified crack filling emulsion that allows it to run all the way to the bottom of the crack. To avoid over height on the cracks, the excess of emulsion shall be removed by a “V” shaped scraper.

Depending on the depth of the crack, this process may have to be repeated several times using the scraper in every time is needed.

2.2.1.3 After the sealant crack treatment is performed, but still sticky, a small spreading unit shall dust off the joint. The dust shall be graded from 0 to 1.2 mm in a manner that the filling doesn’t become sticky and provides initial friction to the section.

2.2.1.4 The Contractor shall treat all area of Foxtrot Pavement with a sealant as identified in the Government Specifications and located in the Government Drawings. The treatment shall be performed in accordance with these Specifications with a cold applied bitumen emulsion system such as Pentack by COLAS Denmark, or equivalent. The Area to be applied is of approximately (but no less than) 220,000.00 m2.

The sealant shall be three component, consisting of a regenerating emulsion, a modified bitumen emulsion and water for viscosity control.

Asphalt Surface Treatment shall conform to SECTION 32 01 17.61, including equipment characteristics.

2.2.1.5 The three component mix shall be performed by specialized spraying equipment (truck) with the capability to automatically adjust the three components of the sealant. Due to possible contamination of the sealant, the spraying truck must be specific for this sort of treatment, therefore Contractors are not allowed to use prime/tack coat spraying equipment as nozzles may not be adequate and the reservoir may be contaminated by remains of undesirable prime/tack coat or other agents.

2.2.1.6 The contractor shall be aware that the work is being performed in the airfield.

2.2.1.8 Clean up the entire area at the end of each work period and before final inspection.

2.2.1.9 Due to the importance of the area where the Apron is located, the applicator (Contractor or sub-contractor) must have experience in rehabilitation of Airfield Pavements and must be OHSAS 18001 accredited.

2.2.1.10 The Contractor shall paint the Airfield Marking as previously existing in accordance with these Specifications.

2.2.1.11 Contractor must implement barricades in all areas were work is being performed in accordance with “ETL 04-2 Barricades” extract, included in this Statement of Work. The location of the barricades is defined in the Government Drawings, i.e. in the outside peripheral area of the “yellow zone”.
