The Department will verify the samples and application rates according to the following acceptable limits.

AASHTO R 102

Material Acceptable Limits

Aggregate ± 1.0% Emulsified Asphalt ± 0.5%

After the mix design is approved, no substitutions will be permitted unless approved by the

Engineer.

403.06 Repair and Preparation of Base or Existing Surface. The base or existing surface shall be prepared according to Section 358.

403.07 Calibration. At least three days prior to starting the work, the Contractor shall provide the Engineer with a copy of the manufacturer's recommendations for the equipment to be used.

The working day prior to starting construction, the general use pressure distributor and aggregate spreader shall be calibrated and adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Calibrations and adjustments shall be made in the presence of the Engineer on a level surface at a location approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall maintain proper calibration and adjustment of the equipment and the Engineer reserves the right to check application rates as the work progresses. Should the equipment fail to consistently apply the specified rates, the work shall be stopped, and the Contractor shall recalibrate and readjust the equipment.

403.08 Preparation of Emulsified Asphalt. The temperature of the emulsified asphalt at the time of application shall be such that it sprays uniformly without clogging the spraying nozzles and is applied within the temperature range of 150 – 190 °F (65 – 90 °C).

403.09 Preparation of Aggregate. The aggregate shall be stockpiled near the jobsite according to Article 1003.01(e) or 1004.01(e). The aggregate used shall contain no free moisture, but the aggregate shall be slightly damp (saturated surface-dry or drier).

403.10 Application of Emulsified Asphalt. The emulsified asphalt shall be applied with a general use pressure distributor. The entire length of the spray bar shall be set at the height above the surface recommended by the manufacturer for even distribution of the emulsified asphalt. A hand spray bar shall be used at locations not covered by the distributor.

The distributor shall be operated in a manner such that missing or overlapping of transverse joints shall be avoided. To prevent overlapping of successive applications of emulsified asphalt at transverse joints, heavy paper shall be spread over the previously applied emulsified asphalt and aggregates. In order to obtain a uniform application of the emulsified asphalt, the distributor shall be traveling at the speed required for the specified rate of application when the spray bar crosses the paper.

Adjacent construction, such as concrete pavement, curb and gutter, bridge floors, raised reflective pavement markers, and bridge handrails, shall be protected by shields, covers or other means. If emulsified asphalt is applied to adjacent construction, the Contractor shall remove such material to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

The emulsified asphalt shall not be applied when the wind conditions will inhibit uniform coverage from the fans of asphalt being applied.

403.11 Application of Aggregates. The cover and seal coat aggregates shall be spread evenly with an aggregate spreader over the entire surface being treated. When treating one-half of the pavement width at a time, an inside strip of uncovered emulsified asphalt 3 in. (75 mm) wide shall be left during construction of the first half to provide center joint overlap when the second half of the treatment is placed. In all cases, the aggregate shall be applied ahead of the truck or spreader wheels. Hand spreading will be permitted only when approved by the Engineer and, when so permitted, the aggregate shall be spread uniformly and at the approximate rate specified. Any ridges of aggregate left by the aggregate spreader shall be smoothed out with hand brooms immediately behind the aggregate spreader.

Equipment involved in the work shall operate as close to each other as practical. The aggregate spreader shall be within 150 ft (45 m) of the pressure distributor and the aggregate shall cover the asphalt emulsion within 30 seconds of application to ensure proper asphalt/aggregate adhesion.

Each aggregate truck shall be equipped with a suitable hitch for connection to the aggregate spreader while unloading. The trucks shall avoid contact between the truck body or bed and the aggregate spreader. The body or bed of the truck shall be modified, if necessary, to empty cleanly and completely into the receiving hopper of the aggregate spreader. No aggregate shall be allowed to spill onto the road surface when the truck is emptying into this hopper.

403.12 Cover Coat. Emulsified asphalt for the cover coat shall not be applied until the previous application is acceptable to the Engineer.

At the beginning of each day’s work, no emulsified asphalt shall be applied until there is sufficient cover coat aggregate in the trucks at the work site to completely cover the first application of asphalt emulsion. The amount of surface area covered by each successive application of emulsified asphalt shall be determined by the Engineer. In no case shall this area be greater than can be covered with cover coat aggregate and given the initial rolling while the emulsified asphalt is still in condition to hold aggregate.

The emulsified asphalt shall be applied uniformly over the surface at the rate specified in the table above. Immediately following the application of the asphalt emulsion, the cover coat aggregate shall be spread over the treated surface at the rate specified in the table above.

The aggregate shall be rolled following spreading. A maximum time of five minutes will be allowed between the spreading of aggregate and completion of the initial rolling of the aggregate.

The rollers shall proceed in a longitudinal direction at a speed less than or equal to 5 mph (8 km/h). Each roller will travel over the aggregate a minimum of two times. The entire surface shall be rolled immediately with a self-propelled pneumatic-tired roller. Rolling shall proceed in a longitudinal direction beginning at the edges and progressing toward the center, overlapping on successive trips by at least 1/2 the width of the roller. The aggregate shall then be rolled with a separate pneumatic-tired roller until the aggregate is properly seated in the asphalt emulsion.

403.13 Seal Coat. When constructing an A-2 or A-3 treatment, the seal coat shall not be started until the cover coat immediately preceding the seal coat is completed.

Application of the emulsified asphalt and aggregate and rolling of the seal coat shall be the same as specified above for the cover coat.

During the construction period, the Contractor shall maintain the completed work. If necessary, the Contractor shall apply additional seal coat aggregate to absorb excess bitumen appearing on the surface and shall repair any areas where pickup has occurred.

The Contractor shall use the appropriate sweeping equipment to perform an initial sweeping after a minimum of two hours curing and not less than one hour before sunset on the day the bituminous surface treatment is placed. The initial sweeping shall remove excess aggregate by lightly sweeping each pavement lane. The sweeping shall be sufficient to prevent migration of loose aggregate back onto any part of the pavement.

The Contractor shall sweep the pavement surface as needed to remove excess aggregate.

403.14 Application of Fog Seal. The emulsified asphalt for the fog seal shall not be applied to the treated surface until the seal coat has cured for at least 24 hours.

The emulsified asphalt shall be applied uniformly and at a rate that will provide a residual asphalt rate on the prepared surface of 0.03 to 0.08 lb/sq ft (0.146 to 0.391 kg/sq m). An application rate greater than 0.05 lb/sq ft (0.244 kg/sq m) shall be applied in two passes, one from each direction. The Contractor shall demonstrate the application will produce 100 percent coverage of the surface after curing. If the application demonstration does not meet the coverage requirements, the spray pattern shall be adjusted until approved by the Engineer. The emulsified asphalt shall be applied in a manner to minimize the amount of overspray.

A check shall be performed in the first 1,000 ft (300 m) to verify the application rate according to the test procedure for “Determination of Residual Asphalt in Prime and Tack Coat Materials”.

403.15 Opening to Traffic. The road shall be opened to traffic according to Article 701.17(c)(4).

403.16 Method of Measurement. The bituminous surface treatment (A-1, A-2, or A-3) will be measured for payment in place and the area computed in square yards (square meters). The width for measurement will be the top width of the bituminous surface treatment as shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.

Emulsified asphalt for fog seal will be measured for payment as specified in Section 1032.

Preparation of the base or existing surface will be measured for payment according to
