including the softare for accurate recording of the weights of all mixed materials,
identifying clearly the individual trucks and the weights carried and of all
deliveries of aggregates and bitumen. Such records shall be printable and
accessible to the Engineer and his staff when required. The mixing plant shall be
equipped with a hot bin of capacity of not less than 100 tonnes for storage of hot
mixtures.
The bitumen tank shall be capable of maintaining its contents at the specified
temperature within a tolerance of 5 C and shall be equipped with a thermostat to

bitumen which has been heated above 170 C or has suffered carbonization from
prolonged heating.
(c)
Laying equipment
The Contractor shall lay asphalt concrete and macadam materials by a self-propelled
spreader finisher equipped with a hopper, delivery augers and a heated adjustable
vibrating screed. It shall be capable of laying bituminous materials to the width not less

clean the existing surface of all loose material and foreign matter with mechanical
brooms, high pressure pneumatic jets or other approved means. He shall dispose of
the debris well clear of the surface to be covered.
The Contractor shall make good any defect of the surface, and he shall not lay any

tack coat shall be applied only as far ahead of the placing of mix as necessary to obtain the
minimum curing period.
The Contractor shall repair damaged areas of tack-coated or primed surfaces before laying
bituminous mixes. Before the Contractor commences the placement of bituminous mixes he
shall apply a tack coat to the surfaces of curbs, gutters and other structures that will be in
contact with the bituminous mix. Irregularities in the surface of the existing pavement or base
shall be corrected. Any raveled, pot-holed, heaved or otherwise damaged areas in base

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
12-13
Rev.2
The Contractor shall seal all longitudinal and transverse joints and cracks with an approved
joint sealing compound or bituminous sealing material before the placement of bituminous
mixes on the existing surface. In all cases, the Contractor shall obtain clearance to proceed
from the Engineer before commencing laying operations.
If the Engineer considers a tack coat is required prior to laying the bituminous mix or
between layers of the bituminous mix solely as a result of delays occurring in the
Contractor's method of working, then such tack coat shall be at the Contractor's
expense.
1223
(d) a recommended temperature range for compaction of the mixture after being
laid.
At least 56 days prior to production, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer in
writing a standard mix formula for each mixture supported by laboratory test data,
samples, and sources of the components, and asphalt cement viscosity-temperature
relationships for his information and for approval. The Engineer may at his discretion
require more tests to be done, including for alternative mixes, as part of his evaluation
and approval process. The Contractor shall only use the standard mix formula as
approved for the production of bituminous mixture. No modifications to a standard mix
or changes in the nature or source of the constituent materials shall be made without a
written submission by the Contractor to the Engineer detailing the proposed
modifications with relevant supporting data and the subsequent approval of the
Engineer.
If a standard mix formula proves unsatisfactory, a new standard mix formula together
with supporting test data shall be submitted by the Contractor for review and approval
by the Engineer prior to production.
Aggregate shall be conditionally accepted or rejected in the stockpiles at the mixing
plant site. Asphalt shall be conditionally accepted or rejected at the mixing plant. The
plant-mixed material will be tested for conformance with the standard mix after laying
and before compaction.
If the standard mix formula includes additives, their sources shall be approved by the
Engineer. Additives shall be added at the rate determined by the Contractor and approved by
Engineer based on laboratory analysis and laboratory mix design procedures. The rate of
additive addition shall be confirmed by the field laboratory during production. Appropriate
in-line blending or other approved methods for addition of additives to the mixture shall be
used.

Where the average density of compaction of such an area is greater than 1% below the
specified minimum density, the Contractor shall forthwith remove the asphaltic
concrete and replace it with asphaltic concrete complying with the specified

compacted on the road. The volume of asphalt concrete surfacing shall be
calculated as the product of the compacted cross sectional area shown on the
Drawings or instructed by the Engineer and the plan length of asphalt concrete
instructed to be laid measured along the centreline of the road.
The rate for asphalt concrete surfacing and macadam shall include the costs of:

rolling,
complying with all the requirements of Parts A and D of Section 1200 of this
Specification.
The rate for asphalt concrete surfacing shall also include for the costs of:
quarry operations,
complying with all the requirements of Sections 100, 200, 300 and 600 of this
Specification.
b)
Item :
Unit :
calculate the difference between the nominal 5.5% binder content and that
of the approved standard mix,
(ii) calculate the volume of the asphalt concrete concerned in accordance with
Sub-Clause 1248 (a) of this Specification,
(iii) using the specified minimum density in accordance with Clause 1245 of this
Specification and (ii) above, calculate the mass of asphalt concrete
concerned,
(iv) take the product of (i) and (iii) above to determine the mass of the variation in
binder content,
(v) convert the mass of bitumen determined in (iv) above to litres using the
density stated on the manufacturers certificate,
(vi) correct this volume in litres to 15.6 C using the Standard Petroleum
Measurement Table (ASTM D 1250).
Adjustment to the Contractor's payment shall be either of the following as
applicable:
a payment to the Contractor when the binder content in the standard mix is
greater than the 5.5% nominal binder content,
a refund to the Employer when the binder content in the standard mix is less
than the 5.5% nominal binder content.
