SECTION 02960

GROOVING FOR AIRFIELD PAVEMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 GROOVING OF AN ACTIVE RUNWAY:

1.1.1 Emergency Landings and Takeoff: Emergencies shall take precedence over all Contractor operations. Upon notification from the Control Tower of emergency landing or imminent takeoff, all operations shall be stopped immediately and all personnel and equipment evacuated to an area not utilized for aircraft traffic which is at least 60 m measured perpendicular to and away from the near edge of the runway. Equipment shall be able to clear the work area within 15 minutes.

1.1.1.1 Work Interruptions due to Aircraft Traffic: The Contractor shall be paid for work interruptions due to aircraft traffic. The minimum payment for each interruption will be one hour. If the interruption is more than one hour, the payment for the interruption will be proportional to the unit cost per hour of interruption.

1.2 REFERENCES: The publications listed below form a part of this specification to the extent referenced. The publications are referred to within the text by the basic designation only.

UFC 3-260-02 (30 Jun 2001), Pavement Design for Airfields.

UNIFIED FACILITIES GUIDE SPECIFICATIONS (UFGS)

UFGS 32 01 26.71 (Aug 2008), Grooving for Airfield Pavements.

1.3 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:

1.3.1 Grooving Machine: Provide a grooving machine that is power driven, self-propelled, specifically designed and manufactured for pavement grooving, and has a self contained and integrated continuous slurry vacuum system as the primary method for removing waste slurry.

The grooving machine shall be equipped with diamond-saw cutting blades, and capable of making at least 457 mm in width of multiple parallel grooves in one pass of the machine.

Thickness of the cutting blades shall be capable of making the required width and depth of grooves in one pass of the machine. The cutting head shall not contain a mixture of new and

02960 - 2 worn blades or blades of unequal wear or diameter. Match the blade type and configuration with the hardness of the existing airfield pavement. The wheels on the grooving machine shall be of a design that will not scar or spall the pavement. Provide the machine with devices to control depth of groove and alignment within the specified tolerances.

1.3.2 Water Supply: If transportation of the water by surface laid pipe is permitted, routing of the pipe shall be shown on a drawing to be submitted for Contracting Officer's approval by the Contractor. The available water source location is identified on the drawings.

Water for the grooving operation shall be provided by the Contractor.

1.4 SUBMITTALS: Royal Decree 1630/1992 (modified by Royal Decree 1328/1995), which dictates the dispositions for free circulation of constructional purpose products, shall be complied with in application of Directive 89/106/CEE. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. The following shall be submitted:

Submittal Description Product Data

Equipment [G]

List of proposed equipment to be used in performance of construction work, including descriptive data and safety precautions required for the equipment operation.

Procedures [G]

Grooving sequence and method of placing guide lines to control grooving operation.

1.5 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS: Grooving operations will not be permitted when freezing conditions prevent the immediate removal of debris and/or drainage of water from the grooved area. Discharge and disposal of waste slurry shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Waste slurry discharge pits may be constructed along side the pavement to be grooved, as directed by the Contracting Officer. Provide and maintain temporary storm drainage, pollution control, and erosion control features at each discharge pit in accordance with base environmental regulations. After the waste slurry has been dewatered, the hardened slurry shall be excavated and disposed off base in accordance with the base waste disposal requirements. All discharge pit areas shall be regraded and restored to original condition.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

02960 - 3

3.1 PREPARATION:

3.1.1 Existing Pavements: Bumps, depressed areas, bad or faulted joints, and badly cracked and/or spalled areas in the pavement shall not be grooved until such areas are adequately repaired or replaced. If the existing pavement is not suitable because of its strength, the grooving shall not be executed.

3.1.2 New Pavements: Permit new Portland cement concrete pavements to cure for a minimum of 28 days before grooving.

3.2 GROOVING:

3.2.1 Procedures: Grooving should be terminated within 1.5 of the pavement edge to allow adequate space for operation of the grooving equipment. Cut grooves in the Portland cement areas as indicated on the drawings. Begin the grooving at one side of the usable runway and continue for the full width of the area. Take all reasonable precautions to prevent damage to or roughening of the pavement between grooves. Spalling along or tearing or raveling of the groove edges shall not be allowed. The grooves shall be 6 mm, plus 2 mm, minus 0 mm wide by 6 mm, plus or minus 2 mm deep and 38 mm, plus 0 mm, minus 3 mm center to center spacing.

The groove length shall be from one edge of the runway to the other edge of the runway plus or minus 75 mm long and normal to the longitudinal axis of the centerline of the runway. The transverse alignment of the grooves shall not vary more than 75 mm plus or minus on a 23 m length of grooving. Do not groove within 150 mm plus or minus 75 mm of the runway centerline. Do not groove within 150 mm of transverse joints or working cracks, through compression seals, in-runway lighting fixtures or similar items.

3.2.2 Clean-Up: Clean-up shall be continuous. Flush debris produced by the equipment to the edge of the grooved area or pick it up before it dries and hardens. The dust coating remaining shall be flushed to the edge of the area if the resultant accumulation is not detrimental to the vegetation or storm drainage system. Accomplish all flushing operations in a manner to prevent erosion on the shoulders, damage to vegetation, or plugging of storm drainage.

3.2.3 Repair of Damaged Pavement: Repair at the Contractor's expense, as specified in Section 02961, any damage, which in the opinion of the Contracting Officer will be detrimental to aircraft operations and/or pavement performance, occurring to the pavement as a result of the grooving operations.

3.3 CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL:

3.3.1 Test Section: Groove a test section in an area of the pavement outside of the trafficked area, as approved by the Contracting Officer. The area shall be 60.96 m long by two

02960 - 4 lanes wide. Demonstrate the setup and alignment process, the grooving operation, and the waste slurry disposal.

3.3.2 Inspections: At the beginning of each work shift, furnish a full complement of grooving blades with each saw that are capable of cutting grooves of the specified width, depth, and spacing. If during the work, a single grooving blade on a machine becomes incapable of cutting a groove, continue work for the remainder of the work shift.
