(e) Immediately after extraction of materials, all borrows pits shall be backfilled to
the satisfaction of the Engineer. In particular borrow pits near the project road
shall be backfilled in such a way that no water collects in them.
(f) Spilling of bitumen fuels Oils and other pollutants shall be cleared up.

Some of the measures include: -

Fuel and Oils

All construction plant will be in good condition with no excessive emissions of
exhaust, oil, fuel or coolants. Plant operators will check machines daily for oil/fuel
leaks and take appropriate action. All re-fuelling will be by our mobile fuel tanker
using a suitable pump and hose. Absorbent material (spill kits) will be available on
site and will be deployed to contain drips and small spillages. All other fuels, oils and
potential contaminants will be stored in our go down away from the working site.

Concrete
All concrete will be delivered directly to the location of the works and transferred to the
formwork by truck mounted concrete pump or by crane and skip method or in-situ
batching. Optionally direct discharge from the delivery truck into the formwork may
be used or excavator bucket or wheel loader bucket as appropriate.

Formwork will be constructed to ensure that no concrete loss occurs at joints. Any
concrete loss will be either removed or contained.

All vehicles, tools and buckets will only be cleaned within a designated area. The wash
out water from trucks carrying concrete to construction areas will be discharged away
from site. The wash out water will be removed from the site for appropriate disposal.

Waste and Litter

Waste minimization, recycling and disposal of all waste will be adhered to on site.
With respect to the control of ‘litter’ on site, all such waste will be collected and
disposed at the appropriate location No disposal of litter will be permitted at other
locations.

Vegetation
Revegetation of areas where vegetation was removed or destroyed should be done.

4 BITUMINOUS SURFACE TREATMENT, SURFACE DRESSING AND

BITUMINOUS WEARING COURSE – BILL NO. 15 AND 16
Asphalt Concrete design mix will be done so as to be approved by the Engineer.

Tack coat, K1-60 will be purchased locally after approval.

A trial section will be undertaken to gauge the effectiveness of the equipment.

The Asphalt batching shall be used to produce asphalt concrete after the design mix
has been approved. The bitumen and mineral fines shall be heated separately before
mixing to ensure the output temperature of the mixture. First the aggregate shall be
sent into the mixer, after 5-10 seconds, the bitumen shall be added, then the mineral
fines. When the bitumen and mineral fines are sent into the mixing cabin, the
temperature should be 110 + 3℃ above the bitumen soft point, and the temperature of
the mineral fines shall not be more than 15℃ of that of the bitumen, and the
kinematic viscosity shall reach 150-300.

The 15T tippers will be used to haul the bitumen mixture to the spreading site. Every
tipper shall use an insulating rainproof double-layer canvas to ensure good cover to
the mixture. The carriage metal bottom board of the hauling vehicles shall be tight,
clean and smooth.
In order to decrease the segregation of the mixture, the material shall be loaded in
three batches. The loading sequence will be middle, front and back.

The temperature of the bitumen mixture shall be checked before offloading into paver.
If the material of acceptable temperature and uncontaminated, the tipper shall drive
backwards to the front of the spreader about 10-30cm and change to neutral gear.
During the construction period, there will be 2-3 vehicles ready to unload the bitumen
mixture in front of the spreader to ensure continuously operation.

Two spreaders will be operated in parallel to cover the full layer width. The distance
between two spreaders will be about 5-10m. The operation will ensure that the
longitudinal joint is formed within the hot mix.

The first layer will be paved with line and the other layers will be paved with the non-
contact balance beam to control the elevation and thickness. The spreader will ride
with an even speed of 1~3m per minute.
The places, which the spreader cannot reach, shall be reported to the Engineer. With
the Engineer’s approval, the mixture shall be spread manually. Such places are
irregular shape or different depth or space limitation or manual structure etc.

During the process of spreading bitumen mixture, the width, depth, smoothness,
crown and temperature shall carry out tracking detection. The places which cannot
reach the standard should be adjusted immediately.

If there is an interruption during the spreading, the spreader will be moved forward at
once to ensure the continuous compaction on the paved layer and 1m will be left
without rolling, and this 1m part will be removed if the spreading is renewed.

If there are some cold joints formed, the joints will be cut to full depth and a layer of
hot bitumen (80/100) will be brushed on the joint prior the spreading.

The mixture temperature will be between 135-165℃ and the initial rolling temperature
will be not under 120℃. Temperature when the mixture will be poured into the
spreader shall be not under 135℃. The rolling shall be finished before the temperature
reduces to 90℃.

The double steel-wheel vibratory roller shall be carried out static rolling twice. The
speed of rolling will be 1.5-2.0km/h, and the maximum speed will be 3km/h. The
temperature of initial rolling cannot below 120℃. If the obvious displacement appears
during the rolling process, the Engineer shall determine the initial rolling temperature
on site. When the rolling will be carried out, the traction wheel will be in front and the
roller shall go forward in uniform speed. The roller shall go backwards along the
former track and carry out vibrated rolling. The mixture shall get preliminary stability
to prevent removal. The smoothness and crown shall be checked after initial rolling. It
will be necessary to correct some faults if required.

The subsequent rolling shall be carried out immediately after the initial rolling. The
temperature shall not below 115℃when the repetitive rolling will be finished. During
the repetitive rolling, two vibratory double-wheeled rollers will be rolled for 4 times,
and then 2 heavy tyred rollers will be rolled for 4~6 times with the rolling speed of 3.5-
4.5km/h. The repetitive rolling must achieve the required compaction densities
without obvious wheel marks. If the mixture sticks to the wheels, a little bit soap
water will be brushed by the mop. Actual rolling procedure will be as determined
during trial tests.

Double steel-wheel roller shall carry out static rolling twice in the final rolling
immediately after subsequent rolling. The speed of rolling will be 2.5-3.5km/h. The
temperature shall be above 90℃when the final rolling will be finished.

The rolling shall be carried out from lower to upper edges of the pavement cross-
section.. Every time the roller shall overlap with 1/3-1/2 wheel widths. The vibratory
frequency and amplitude shall be chosen according to the species, temperature and
layer depth of mixture.

The roller shall extend 5-10 cm outside when rolling the edges. The static rolling shall
be carried out first, then vibratory rolling, finally static rolling again.The operation
length of the roller shall match the speed of the spreader, and the roller shall go
forward as the spreader.

During the rolling, the wheel of the roller shall be kept continuously wet to avoid
sticking of the mixture. If required, it will be necessary to adopt batch spraying of
water. But the water quantity shall not be too much to cause fast cooling of mixture
surface.

The roller shall be forbidden to turn, turn back, move on both sides and brake
suddenly.

It will be strictly prohibited to park any construction equipment (including temporarily

parking the roller) on the uncooled bitumen mixture surface, which is rolled on the
same day to avoid the deformation. The vibration will be shut off when the roller is
riding on the formed pavement.

The traffic will be forbidden to pass 24 hours after the rolling is completed.

Quality control testing shall then be carried out by the Engineer in accordance with
requirements of the specifications.
The proposed construction procedure is as shown below.
