  • Unskilled Labours

Responsibility of work carried out lies on every person involve for the job. Site management team, Materials Engineer and Surveyor collectively bear responsibility in guaranteeing the quality of finished product.

Safety Management and Tra.ffic Control

Safety precaution will be taken complying with the Traffic and Safety Plan. Every precaution will be taken to avoid any accidents & damages to adjoining properties, workers, and road users.

All workers will be advised to wear helmets, boots, and gloves while working. There will be a stand by vehicle near site always if needed in case of accident.

The safety officer visits several times to inspect safety matters.

Method and Procedures

Generally tack coat & Asphalt works will be done when the existing surface is dry or sufficiently low in moisture and normally the atmospheric temperature is above the 15 oC or as instructed by the Engineer. Before starting Tack Coat & Asphalt Works, the area will be demarcated & safety signs will be properly arranged. Single lane traffic will be managed so that no vehicle commuters suffer unnecessary delay.

Tack Coat & Regulating Course

The surface will be cleaned and removed loose and deleterious material from the existing road with the help of compressed air. Request will be made for checking the surface prior to applying the tack coat on existing road.

Tack coat will be applied at required rate 0.25 -0.55 L/m2 on cleaned existing road surface and spray record sheets will be submitted to the engineer on a daily basis for Engineer’s approval.

Asphalt concrete will be mixed with the approved job mix formula in the Asphalt plant Mixing, transporting, trucks & other machineries, and the physical condition of the asphalt mix will be in accordance with the specification requirements. Loading & transportation will be co-ordinate and spreading, compacting and finishing will be completed during daylight hours unless otherwise adequate illumination will be provided in order to minimize darkness. Night work will be done only due to accepted reason with the Engineer approvals. Delivering of asphalt to the paver will be at a minimum temperature of 135 C as per the specification.

Longitudinal edge will be set along the center line and also the lateral joint will be set staggered. Longitudinal and transverse joints will be made in a careful manner so that well bounded sealed joints are provided for full depth of course.

Asphalt paving will be start immediately after transporting, using asphalt paver, which is capable of spreading, finishing, and providing initial compaction to the asphalt mix such that the surfacing shall be finished to the required lines, grades, levels, dimensions, cross sections or as per the Engineer’s instructions. Manual spreading will be applied where Asphalt paver operation not applicable.

Immediately after the asphalt mix is spread rolling will be commenced with out under displacement or cracking. The transverse joint, Longitudinal joint, breakdown rolling done by static weight roller and intermediate rolling and final rolling will be done by pneumatic rollers. The final rolling will be completed before the temperature of the mix falls below 90 C.

Newly laid asphalt edge will be hand tampered simultaneously with the break down rolling.

Section of the newly laid asphalt layer will be protected from traffic until the mix has sufficiently hardened and traffic will normally not be permitted over newly laid surface at least for 12 hours after laying or until the temperature of the newly laid surface has achieved the ambient temperature.

The density of all samples taken from the compacted surface course will not be less than 97% of the Marshall Density at the point appropriate to the locations and air void will be the 3 to 7.

Quality Control

Certain inspections, verifications, and tests will be carried out, to ensure the quality and durability of the product as described in the above procedures, as per the requirements given in specifications.

Guide lines for site requirements will be set while continuing the asphalt laying depending on the condition such as roller passes etc, as a rule of thumb.

Measurement Control

Regulating course (Binder Mix) will be measured by tonnage. Certain inspections, verifications, and tests will be carried out, to ensure the quality and durability of the product as described in the above procedures, as per the requirements given in the specification. Approval will be obtained from Engineer for material (Asphalt) delivery sheet daily.

Field Density Test

Image
  The sand cone method is used for field density test in our highway construction. In the field, the dry density test is carried out for check the compaction of layers. Compaction is most useful for the preparation of sub base grade and other pavement layers and in construction of embankment in order to increase the stability and to decrease settlement. In field compaction, the compacting moisture content is first controlled at optimum moisture content and the adequacy of rolling or compaction is controlled by checking the dry density achieved and comparing with the maximum dry density. Base layer-98% Sub base layer-98% Type 1 layer-95% ABC layer-100% Road shoulder- 98% Field density test Testing procedure: The weight of empty sand cone is measured and then filled with dry sand and weighted. The soil excavated from the hole is collected and weighted. After weighting, a specimen of soil is taken to determine it water content. The sand cone is placed on...

METHOD OF INTERNAL & EXTERNAL PLASTERING ON BRICK WALLS & CONCRETE SURFACES

Method of Plastering. Internal plastering on surfaces of brick and concrete. External wall plastering. Soffit plastering / Soffit finishing with cement based easy plaster material and wall putty. Improving joint of brick walls & structural concrete joints. Internal Plastering on surfaces of Brick and Concrete. Surface where plastering is to be done will be cleaned. Level pegs on walls will be fixed with reference to the off lines to brick walls set out in floors. (Using centre plumb bob and nylon thread). All the brick walls will be watered before pasting mortar on walls. First coat mortar filling (1:4 Cement and Sand) upto 15 mm will be applied on surfaces where required mortar thickness exceed 25mm. Walls and columns will be plastered 1:4 Cement and Sand to achieve semi rough finished surface. Vertical joint of structural columns / walls & brick walls will be treated by fixing 200mm width chicken mesh with wire nails / concre...

CRACK TREATMENT OF THE ASPHALT BINDER COURSE

Image
  Main Break Water(MBW) access road occurs several cracks on the asphalt binder course. The road cracks are monitored and investigated with specialist from RDA Research & Development. This report describes the reason and remedial method of the cracks based on the investigation and consultation. MBW access road structure consists of fallowing cross section and the core samples have been taken on the cracks. According to core sample data, can be observed that the crack was started from CBM and reflected to the binder course surface. CRACK INVESTIGATION The crack survey carried out for the entire road and investigation detail summarized as an attached sheet. Core samples were taken from the jointly selected locations with the engineer. MBW access road cracks were categorized into two types based on crack surface appearance. Transverse cracks Longitudinal cracks ...

Survey & levelling

Image
    Preliminary work in road construction is surveying & leveling works. This consists of Traverse Survey, TBM Survey, and Centre Line Setting out, Centre Line marking, Cross Section Survey and Submittal of Drawings. Traverse Survey At the commencement of contract all the basic traverse points will be checked and if any are found to be missing or appear to have been disturbed, necessary arrangements should be made to re-establish the points and traverse survey is carried out after that. Establishing TBMS We did not use survey Department bench marks .The permanent concrete cube was selected to permanent bench mark. It height was assumed hundred meters. But this point is not sufficient for construction purposes. So reference to this point Temporary bench marks (TBM) should be established. TBMs are used to transfer reduce levels in road construction. Temporary bench marks should be established at the rate of four per km and also at or near all structures. When e...
