6. RESPONSIBILITIES
1. It is the overall responsibility of the Project Manager, to ensure that the site preparation activities and
safety plans are conducted according to the project specifications and approved safety plan.
2. Cleaning and Protection
3. After completion of paving operations, the surfaces will be cleaned of excess or spilled asphalt
materials to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
4. Vehicular traffic will not be permitted on the pavement until it has cooled and hardened (not sooner
than 24 hours).
5. Barricades and warning devices will be provided to protect pavement works.
6. Openings of structures in the area of paving will be covered until permanent coverings are placed.
7. MANPOWER AND EQUIPMENTS
As per attached lists.
8. PROCEDURE
8.1. PRIOR ACTIVITIES
1. All existing underground utilities within the construction limit to be protected and or relocated.
2. All utilities and duct works to be completed prior to commencement of Formation Preparation
3. Excavation / Filling up to Formation Level to be completed.
8.2. Formation Preparation and Compaction
1. Grading will be carried out for the proposed grades as shown on the approved shop drawings.
2. Levelling and wet compaction of the Formation will be carried out by passes of heavy rollers of at least
15 ton operating weight. The passes will be at minimum speed and maximum vibration frequency until
the required degree of compaction achieved.

3. Levels will be checked.

4. Density Test will be carried out at random places. Frequency as per specifications to examining the
degree of compaction.
8.3. Aggregate Sub-Base
1. Aggregate Sub-Base material shall be tested at an Independent laboratory and approved by Engineer.
2. After the Formation Preparation has been approved, Sub-base material will be placed in two equal
layers (10cm each layer).
3. Spreading, levelling and compaction of Sub-Base layer (after checking the quantity required for the
particular section) will be carried out using steel wheel tandem vibratory roller and pneumatic tyre
roller, the test will be carried out as per specifications, and the required density achieved. (Extra water
will be added for grading and spreading of the surface during levelling compaction).
4. Dimensions & levels will be checked up on compacted layer.
5. Density / Compaction tests will be carried out as per specifications.
8.4. Kerbs Work
1. After Sub-Base levels and degree of compaction and all services inside foot path has been completed
and approved, a setting bed of mortar shall be laid as per specification requirements.
2. Precast concrete curbs including blinding and hunching shall be laid where indicated on the Drawings
or as directed by the Engineer.
3. On circular work kerbs shall be cut on both edges to suit the required line and the joints shall be
grouted with mortar as per specification.
8.5. Tile Work
1. Laying approved Interlocking tiles shall be in accordance with the construction drawings and specified
herein: Colour of Tiles shall be approved by Engineers. All Interlocking Tiles shall be either 8cm / 6 cm.
For cut blocks, block shall cut using mechanical block splitter. Levelling of natural ground surface or
proposed grades in the specified area to be levelled and compacted by others. 50mm sand bed placed
evenly and tiles shall be placed symmetrically with proper level control. The joint between block shall
not exceed (3mm). Objectionable tiles will be removed from the site.
8.6. Bituminous Pavement Works
Bituminous Base Course and Wearing Course Job Mix shall meet the Project Specifications, and to be
approved by contractor and Engineer prior to starting the works.
8.6.1. Preparation
The area to receive asphalt surfacing shall be inspected for cleanliness. A prime coat with cut back
bitumen (MC-70) shall be applied over the Aggregate Sub Base at a rate of between 1.13 to 2.26 litres per
square metre. At least 48 hours curing time shall be maintained before starting asphalt works.
8.6.2. Laying
1. The compacted thickness of bituminous Base Course and Wearing Course shall be 60mm & 50mm as
per the contract.
2. The bituminous material will be laid using paver.
3. Compaction of the bituminous material will be achieved using steel wheel tandem vibratory rollers and
pneumatic tyre rollers.

4. Initial compaction or breakdown rolling will be by a tandem vibratory roller operating in the static
mode. Subsequent compaction will be carried out using tandem vibratory rollers minimum 3 passes (in
the vibratory mode) and followed by 12 passes with pneumatic tyre rollers until the material has been
fully compacted to achieve the required degree of compaction as per specification. A final
finishing roll will be carried out using a tandem vibratory roller in the static mode to remove any
remaining roller marks.
5. Before laying Wearing course layer a tack coat of bitumen emulsion will be applied to a clean surface at
a rate of between 0.23 to 0.68 litres per m. The emulsion shall be allowed to break prior to
commencing surfacing.
6. In areas constrained by width (less than 2.5 metres) and/or minimal length or by limited access or
other such constraints the bituminous material will be laid manually and compacted to level and a fair
finish with a suitable roller or vibrating plate compactor commensurate with the area being laid.
8.6.3. Level Control
1. Where practicable the paving machine will be equipped with automatic level sensing equipment and /
or averaging beam (dependent upon location ), referenced to dipped levels obtained from steel pins
kerbs or other suitable datum at no more than 10 metre longitudinal intervals, and transversely at
intervals commensurate with the required mat widths.
2. In constrained areas level adjustment will be by manual control by an experienced operator and
referenced to dip levels obtained from steel pins kerbs or other suitable datum at no more than 10
metre longitudinal intervals and transversely at intervals commensurate with the required mat widths.
8.6.4. Testing
1. Bituminous materials will be delivered to site within the temperature range. Material delivered to site
outside range will not be incorporated within the works.
2. Temperatures will be checked and recorded both at the depot mixing plant and the point of laying by
either electrical probes pyrometers or conventional thermometers.
3. Bituminous materials will be quality control sampled and tested at the mixing plant facility for
specification compliance with respect to aggregate gradation binder content and Marshall Design
properties.
4. Sections of completed pavement layers will be cored on site as soon as practicable for testing for field
density compliance.
