ROCK CRUSHING

PART 1: GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Section Includes:

Manufacturing wearing surface course material on native surface roads with mobile rock processing equipment. Work includes reducing bedrock and oversized rock to a specified size, watering, mixing, compacting, and shaping the manufactured cushion material into a smooth, non-segregated road surface as required by the design template.

PART 2: EXECUTION

2.1 REQUIREMENTS

A. Processing:

Reduce the native material to the maximum of one and one half (1-1/2) inches of gradation and a minimum of six (6) inches of compaction depth over the entire roadbed or at a specified width. Uniformly mix the fine and course particles of the cushion material across the road traveled way to eliminate localized pockets of open-graded rock. No bedrock or oversized rock will be allowed within the specified depth of the cushion material within the traveled way. Oversized material may be incorporated outside the traveled way so long as the required cross-section is maintained. Not more than 3% (by volume) of oversized material shall be sidecast in any 100 foot section except that no material will be sidecast within 50 feet of a live stream.

B. Compaction:

After development of the cushion material, uniformly crown, inslope, or outslope the traveled way and shoulders to the BLM 9113 manual specifications. Consolidation is obtained by tamping or rolling mineral soil and fine aggregate in successive layers not more than six (6) inches in loose depth. Compact the entire roadway to ninety (90) percent of optimum compaction as determined by a Dynamic Cone Penetrometer testing. BLM will conduct random compaction testing for ninety (90) percent compaction.

C. Watering and Stabilizing:

While compacting, blending, and finishing ensure that the cushion material has sufficient moisture, whether natural or added, to prevent segregation and facilitate compaction. Water source and permitting is the Contractor’s responsibility. Water development, hauling, and application shall be in accordance with Section 02339. Stabilization shall be to the manufacture’s recommendation. Stabilization chemical shall be Permazyme http://www.pacificenzymes.com/

D. Installation of Rubber Cross Drains:

Install rubber water diverters as per specifications and the detail drawings.

E. Finishing:

Ensure that the travel way has a uniform grade and smooth free of hollows, depressions and segregation. Do not leave berms or ridges along either shoulder of the roadbed, unless directed by the Contracting Officer.

F. Thickness and Size Requirements:

Ensure that the thickness and maximum size requirements of the cushion material conform to the requirements as follows:

(a) The maximum variation from the compacted specified thickness is one (1) inch.

(b) No more than five (5) percent of the cushion material shall exceed the maximum size.

(c) The compacted thickness is not consistently above or below the specified thickness, and the average thickness of eight (8) random measurements for any mile of road segment is within + 0.5 inch of the specified thickness.

(d) BLM may perform sieve analysis throughout the project.
