Methodology and Quality Control

A. Asphalting Works
1. Method of Statement
1.1 Weather and Seasonal Limitations

The work of laying shall not be taken up during rainy or foggy weather/
the base course is damp or wet or during dust storm or when the
atmospheric temperature in shade is 10 deg.

1.2 Preparation of the Sub-Base Course

A. Existing Sub-Base Course

In the beginning, we will cut the start and end of the existing road.
Coinciding with determining the levels of the existing Sub-base course
and make sure that they matching the required levels. If there are any
differences, we will adjust them. After that, we will plow the entire path
with a depth of 10 cm and spray it with water to reach the optimum
moisture content and re-compact according to the specifications and
instructions of the supervising engineer

The base course surface already prepared to the specified lines, grades
and cross sections shall be swept clean free from dust and foreign matters
using mechanical brooms and blown off by compressed air .

B. Sub-Base Course for Roadway Shoulders

1. Preparation of Sub-Base:

Immediately prior to the laying of sub-base, the subgrade already finished as

applicable shall be prepared by removing all vegetation and other extraneous
matter, lightly sprinkled with water, if necessary and rolled with two passes of 80–
100 KN smooth wheeled roller.

2. Spreading and Compacting

The sub-base material of the grading specified in the Contract and water shall be
mixed mechanically by a suitable mixer equipped with provision for controlled
addition of water and mechanical mixing. So as to ensure homogenous and
uniform mix. The required water content shall be determined in accordance
with IS:2720 (Part 8). The mix shall be spread on
the prepared subgrade with the help of a motor grader of adequate capacity,
its blade having
hydraulic controls suitable for initial adjustment and for maintaining the
required slope and grade during the operation, or other means as approved
by the Engineer.

Moisture content of the mix shall be checked in accordance with IS:2720 (Part 2) and
suitably adjusted so that, at the time of compaction, it is from 1 to 2 percent
below the optimum moisture content.

Immediately after spreading the mix, rolling shall be done by an approved

roller. If the thickness of the compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm, a smooth
wheeled roller of 80 to 100 KN weight may be used. For a compacted single layer up
to 200 mm the compaction shall be done with the help of a vibratory roller of
minimum 80 to 100 KN static weight capable of achieving the required
compaction. Rolling shall commence at the lower edge and proceed towards
the upper edge longitudinally for portions having unidirectional crossfall or on
superelevation. For carriageway having crossfall on both sides, rolling shall
commence at the edges and progress towards the crown.

Each pass of the roller shall uniformly overlap not less than one-third of the track
made in the preceding pass. During rolling, the grade and crossfall (camber) shall be
checked and any high spots or depressions which become apparent, corrected
by removing or adding fresh material. The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5 km
per hour.

Rolling shall be continued till the density achieved is at least 98 percent of the
maximum dry density for the material determined as per IS:2720 (Part 8). The
surface of any layer of material on completion of compaction shall be well
closed, free from movement under compaction equipment and from compaction
planes, ridges, cracks or loose material. All loose, segregated or otherwise defective
areas shall be made good to the full thickness of layer and re-compacted.

1.3 Prime Coat (MCO&RC2)

The prime coat shall be Grade Emulsion and shall be applied as per
MORT&H specifications or as specified in contract.

1.4 Joints

All joints shall be cut vertical to the full thickness of the previously laid
mix. All loosened material shall be discarded and the vertical face coated
with a suitable viscosity grade hot bitumen, or cold applied emulsified
bitumen. While spreading the material along the joint the material spread
shall overlap 25 mm to 50 mm on the previously laid mix beyond the
vertical face of the joint. The thickness of the loose.
1.5 Preparation and Transportation of Mix
DBM should be produced on batch basis by weight in Hot Mix Plant. The
mixing will be done in a twin shaft pug-mill, which will produce a
homogeneous mix. The mixture shall be transported from the batching
plant in tippers covered with tarpaulin (if required) so as to maintain the
temperature and dust.

1.6 Spreading

The mix shall be transported to the site by the dumpers, which shall
slowly discharge the mix in the paver hopper, while both the tipper and
paver will move forward steadily and slowly. The automatic sensor shall
ensure that the mix is being laid to the proper line and grade and level.
The direction of the paver will be guided by the string lines fixed with the
stack & arms on both sides of the edges 0.5 m away from the edge. The
paving will be done in one go for the full width. The minimum
temperature of the mix at the time of laying shall be VG30/VG40——-
140°C/160 °C .
Transverse joints shall be cut vertically with asphalt cutter and a coat of
hot bitumen shall be applied before placing materials.

1.7 Compaction

Bituminous materials shall be laid and compacted in layers, which enable the
specified thickness, surface level, regularity requirements and compaction to be
achieved

Compaction of bituminous materials shall commence as soon as possible after laying.

Compaction shall be substantially completed before the temperature falls below the
minimum rolling temperatures stated in the relevant part of these Specifications.
Rolling of the longitudinal joints shall be done immediately behind the paving
operation. After this, rolling shall commence at the edges and progress towards the
center longitudinally except that on super-elevated and unidirectionally cambered
portions, it shall progress from the lower to the
upper edge parallel to the center line of the pavement. Rolling shall continue until all
roller marks have been removed from the surface. All deficiencies in the surface after
laying shall be made good by the attendants behind the paver, before initial rolling is
commenced. The initial or breakdown rolling shall be done with 8–10 ton static
weight smooth-wheel rollers.
The intermediate rolling shall be done with 8–10 ton static weight or vibratory roller
or with a pneumatic tyre roller of 12 to 15 ton weight, with a tyre pressure of at least
0.56 MPa. The Contractor shall demonstrate the efficiency of the equipment proposed
to be used by carrying compaction trials. The procedure for site trials shall be
submitted to the Engineer for approval. The finish rolling shall be done with 6 to 8 ton
smooth wheel tandem rollers.
Rolling shall continue until the specified compaction is achieved.
Where compaction is to be determined by density of cores, the requirements to prove
the performance of rollers shall apply in order to demonstrate that the specified
density can be achieved. In such cases the Contractor shall specify the plant, and the
method by which he intends to achieve the specified level of compaction and finish at
temperatures above the minimum specified rolling temperature. Laying trials shall
then demonstrate the acceptability of the plant and method used.

Bituminous materials shall be rolled in a longitudinal direction, with the driven rolls
nearest the paver. The roller shall first compact material adjacent to joints and then
work from the lower to the upper side of the layer, overlapping on successive passes
by at least one-third of the width of the rear roll or, in the case of a pneumatic-tyred
roller, at least the nominal width of 300 mm.

In portions with super-elevated and unidirectional camber, after the edge has been
rolled, the roller shall progress from the lower to the upper edge.

Rollers should move at a speed of not more than 5 km per hour. The roller shall not be
permitted to stand on pavement which has not been fully compacted, and necessary
precautions shall be taken to prevent dropping of oil, grease, petrol/ diesel or other
foreign matter on the pavement either when the rollers are operating or standing. The
wheels of roller machine shall be in good working order, to prevent the mix from
adhering to the wheels. Only sufficient moisture to prevent adhesion between the
wheels of rollers and the mix should be used.
Surplus water shall not be allowed to stand on the partially compacted pavement.

B.Warehouse Works
Method of Statement and Quality Control

1. Plastering Works:
The targeted areas must be cleaned well and any unwanted residues
removed. After that, the areas are coated with a polymeric material before
splashing to increase the bonding strength.

Then Plastering works are carried out using skilled labors in accordance
with the principles of workmanship and according to the instructions of
the supervising engineer

2. Painting Works :
preparation stage

 Before starting the painting work, it is necessary to make sure that

the plaster is dry and of its quality, especially at the edges and the
area where the walls meet
 Implementation of rough sanding of the walls to overcome the
prominent protrusions and reach smooth and flat walls
 Wash the walls with clean water to get rid of dirt and dust resulting
from the sanding process
 In the event of any cracks appearing in the walls, they must be
expanded by grinding machine and filled with the appropriate putty
 Foundation stage:

 After preparing the walls, the first primer (sealer) is applied in

order to prepare the walls for painting work.
 A first layer of putty is made on the wall, then sanding is done
using medium sandpaper.
 It should be noted that the primer and putty are of the same type
of paint to unify work specifications and ensure the quality of
cohesion between materials.
 A second layer of the putty is made in a slightly different color
from the first, so that we can distinguish the parts that have been
covered with one layer or two layers of the paste, then a fine
sanding is made.
 After each stage of putty and sanding, the walls must be cleaned
of dust, either by brushing or using compressed air.
 Fluorescent lighting is used to pass close to the walls to detect
any defects by working through the presence of shadows,
 If any defects are noticed in the walls, an additional layer of
putty is made with fine sandpaper.
 Upon completion of all putty and sanding work, the walls are
cleaned and a second layer of primer paint (Sealer) is made.

Finishing stage:

 The finishing stage begins with making the first layer of paint in
what is known as the lining, and it is of the same color as the
desired color.
 Finally, the second and final layer of paint is done after the
completion of the other finishing works and the absence of any
workers on the site.
 Compliance with the previous three stages is an important thing in
order to obtain great results and high quality paints. In addition to
the quality of choosing materials and knowing the necessary steps
before buying paints. As well as the selection of skilled workers,
and knowledge of the difference between the types of paints,
especially water-based and oil paints, as they are the most used in
decoration projects.
