1.6.1 Bituminous Distributors

Provide a self propelled distributor with pneumatic tires of such size and number to prevent rutting, shoving or otherwise damaging the surface being sprayed. Calibrate the distributer in accordance with ASTM D2995. Design and equip the distributor to spray the bituminous material in a uniform coverage at the specified temperature, at readily determined and controlled total liquid rates from 0.03 to 1.0 gallons per square yard, with a pressure range of 25 to 75 psi and with an allowable variation from the specified rate of not more than plus or minus 5 percent, and at variable widths. Include with the distributor equipment a separate power unit for the bitumen pump, full-circulation spray bars, tachometer, pressure gauges, volume-measuring devices, adequate heaters for heating of materials to the proper application temperature, a thermometer for reading the temperature of tank contents, and a hand hose attachment suitable for applying bituminous material manually to areas inaccessible to the distributor. The distributor will be capable of circulating and agitating the bituminous material during the heating process.

1.6.2 Single-Pass, Surface-Treatment Machines

Use only machines capable of spraying bituminous material and spreading aggregate in one pass. Use only bituminous spraying equipment conforming to the requirements given above for a bituminous distributor. Use only machines capable of spreading aggregates at controlled amounts per square yard as specified. In addition, only use single-pass, surface-treatment machines capable of placing a surface treatment adjacent to an existing surface treatment, forming a joint of the same thickness and uniformity as other portions of the surface treatment. Ridges or blank spaces will not be permitted. Form joints in the second application at least 1 foot from those formed in the first application.

1.6.3 Heating Equipment for Storage Tanks

Use equipment consisting of coils and equipment for producing steam or hot oil and designed to prevent the introduction of steam or hot oil into the material. Affix an armored thermometer with a range of 100 to 400 degrees F to the tank so the temperature of the bituminous material may be determined at all times.

1.6.4 Power Rollers

Use only steel-wheeled or pneumatic-tired type power rollers conforming to the following requirements:

a. Use only steel-wheeled rollers having at least one steel drum and weigh a minimum of 5 tons. Equip steel wheels of the rollers with adjustable scrapers.

SECTION 32 01 13.62 Page 4

b. Use only self-propelled pneumatic-tired rollers having wheels mounted on two axles in such manner that the rear tires will not follow in the tracks of the forward group. Maintain uniform tire inflation to not less than 60 psi nor more than 80 psi pressure.

Equip pneumatic-tired rollers with boxes or platforms for ballast loading. Load rollers so that the tire print width of each wheel is not less than the clear distance between tire prints.

1.6.5 Mechanical Spreaders

Use only adjustable spreaders capable of spreading aggregate at controlled amounts per square yard, as specified.

1.6.6 Brooms and Blowers

Use only power type brooms and blowers capable of cleaning surfaces to be treated.

Use standard truck scales of the beam type equipped with a weight-recording device. Use scales with sufficient size and capacity to accommodate the trucks used in hauling aggregates. The scales must be tested and approved by an inspector of the State Inspection Bureau charged with scale inspection within the state in which the project is located. If an official of the inspection bureau is not available, test the scales in accordance with state specifications and in the presence of the Contracting Officer. Keep the necessary number of standard weights on hand, at all times, for testing the scales.

1.6.8 Weighhouse

Provide a weatherproof weighhouse constructed in a manner to afford adequate protection for the indicating and recording devices of the scales.

1.7 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Apply bituminous surface treatment only when the existing surface or base course is dry or contains moisture not in excess of the amount that will permit uniform distribution of the asphalt material and provide the desired adhesion between the asphalt material and the materials underneath and above. Do not apply bituminous surface treatment when either the atmospheric temperature, in the shade, is below 50 degrees F or the pavement surface to be treated is below 70 degrees F unless otherwise directed.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

Use mineral aggregate and bituminous material of the following types, gradations, grades, and consistencies that meet the requirements of stripping, wear, deleterious materials and soundness tests as specified in paragraph SAMPLING AND TESTING.

2.1 MINERAL AGGREGATE

Provide aggregate consisting of crushed stone, crushed gravel, or crushed slag of such nature that thorough coating of bituminous material, used in the work, will not strip off upon contact with water when testing using ASTM D3625/D3625M. Maintain aggregate moisture content so that the

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 SURFACE PREPARATION

Immediately before applying the first course of bituminous material, clean the surface of loose material with power brooms or power blowers. Take care to remove all dirt, clay, and other loose or foreign matter. Flush the surface with water, when necessary to achieve a clean surface, only when directed by the Contracting Officer; allow the surface to dry after flushing.

3.2 APPLICATION OF FIRST COURSE

3.2.1 Bituminous Material

Apply bituminous material by means of a bituminous distributor at the temperature specified in paragraph APPLICATION TEMPERATURE OF MATERIALS, below or as directed; and within the limits specified in paragraph QUANTITY LIMITS in PART 1. Apply bituminous material in such a manner that uniform distribution is obtained over all surfaces treated. Unless the distributor is equipped to obtain a satisfactory result at the junction of previous and subsequent applications, spread building paper on the surface for a sufficient distance back from the ends of each application so that flow through the sprays may be started and stopped on the paper in order that all sprays will operate at full force on the surface treated. Immediately after application, remove and destroy the building paper. Properly treat areas inaccessible to the distributor with bituminous material using the hose attachment. Protect adjacent buildings, structures, and trees to prevent their being spattered or marred.

3.2.2 Spreading of Aggregate

Immediately following application of bituminous material, spread aggregate uniformly over the surface within the limits of the quantities specified in paragraph QUANTITY LIMITS in PART 1 using mechanical spreaders. Spread aggregate evenly by hand on all areas missed by the mechanical spreader.

Operate equipment spreading aggregate so that the bituminous material will be covered ahead of the truck wheels. When hand spreading is employed on inaccessible areas, spread aggregate directly from trucks. Spread additional aggregate by hand over areas having insufficient cover. Continue spreading during these operations when necessary.

3.2.3 Brooming and Rolling

Roll the surface with a pneumatic-tired and a steel-wheeled roller after sufficient aggregate is spread. Continue rolling until no more aggregate can be worked into the treated surface. The use of the steel-wheeled roller will be discontinued, or a lighter weight steel wheel roller substituted, as directed, if the roller being used causes excessive crushing and shattering of the aggregate. If the aggregate is not

SECTION 32 01 13.62 Page 8 distributed properly, broom the surface as soon as possible after the first coverage by the roller, but not until the surface has set sufficiently to prevent excessive marking. Continue brooming, rolling, and supplemental spreading of aggregate until the surface is cured and rolled sufficiently to key and set the aggregate. In places not accessible to rollers, compact the aggregate with pneumatic tampers. Remove aggregate that has become contaminated with foreign matter and replace with clean aggregate and reroll as directed. Maintain and protect the treated areas by use of barricades until properly cured.

3.3 APPLICATION OF SECOND COURSE

3.3.1 Bituminous Treatment

Apply the bituminous material for the second course within 48 hours after construction of the first course, weather permitting. Remove excess aggregate prior to the second application of bituminous material. If the treated surface is excessively moistened by rain, allow the surface to dry for such time as deemed necessary. Perform the second application of bituminous material in the manner specified in paragraph APPLICATION OF FIRST COURSE, including temperature and QUANTITY LIMITS.

3.3.2 Aggregate

Immediately following the second application of bitumen, spread aggregate conforming to the gradation and limits specified in paragraph QUANTITY LIMITS uniformly over the bituminous material and process in the manner specified for the first course.

3.3.3 Brooming and Rolling Second Course

Roll and broom the surface in the manner specified for the first course until a thoroughly bonded, smooth, even-textured surface is produced.

Sweep off the surface surplus aggregate and remove it prior to final acceptance.

3.4 APPLICATION TEMPERATURE OF MATERIALS

3.4.1 Cutback Asphalt

Apply cutback asphalt in the range of 100 to 200 degrees F.

3.4.2 Emulsified Asphalt

Apply asphalt emulsions in the range of 90 to 160 degrees F.

3.4.3 Asphalt Cement

Apply asphalt cement in the range of 325 to 375 degrees F.

3.5 TRIAL APPLICATION

Preliminary to providing a complete surface treatment, treat three lengths of at least 100 feet each for the full width of the distributor bar. Use the appropriate typical application rates specified herein for one surface

SECTION 32 01 13.62 Page 9 treatment trial. Make other surface treatment trials using various amounts of materials as may be deemed necessary.

3.6 PROTECTION

Keep all traffic off surfaces freshly treated with bituminous material.

Provide sufficient warning signs and barricades so that traffic will not travel over freshly treated surfaces. Protect the treated areas from traffic for at least 24 hours after final application of bituminous material and aggregate, or for such time as necessary to prevent picking

up. Immediately prior to opening to traffic, roll the entire treated area with a self-propelled pneumatic-tired roller.
