501. PREPARATION OF SURFACE 83 Quality Assurance Handbook for Rural Roads This Subsection deals with preparing an existing granular or black-topped surface prior to laying a bituminous course. A. Methodology 1. Preparing an existing granular surface (i) All loose and extraneous materials should be removed and surface cleaned where a granular profile corrective course is to be provided prior to laying a bituminous course; the existing granular surface after cleaning should be slightly watered and the granular course laid. (ii) The surface of all granular layers on which a bituminous course is to be laid should be cleaned of all loose material and dust by air jet or wire brushes or other approved means and should be correct to line, level and camber within the tolerances specified for base course. (iii) Where a profile corrective course of bituminous material is to be laid, the granular surface after removal of all loose material and dust should be primed with a suitable bituminous primer as per ‘Sub-section’ 502. 2. Scarifying an existing bituminous surface (i) Where an existing bituminous layer is required to be removed, it should be done by hand picking without causing undue disturbance to the underlying layers. Any underlying material which may have been disturbed should be removed and fresh base material supplemented, if necessary and compacted. (ii) The compacted granular surface, finished to line, level and cross-slope should be primed as per specified procedure. 3. Preparing an existing bituminous surface The surface shall be cleaned and any pot holes and cracks repaired before laying bituminous treatment. (a) Pothole and Patch Repairs (i) The existing bituminous surface should be inspected and all pothole and patch areas made free of any loose, defective material. The edges of all potholes shall be cut / trimmed with hand tools vertically to form rectangular shape and shall be thoroughly cleaned with wire brush, compressed air or other approved means. All dust and loose materials should be removed from site. Layers below the level of bituminous construction should be replaced using material of equivalent specification to the original construction and degree of compaction. The area of bituminous construction should be primed and/or tacked with an emulsion (meeting requirements of IS:8887) depending on whether the lower area is granular or bituminous in nature. The sides of the excavated position should be painted with tack coat material using a hand brush/sprayer. (ii) The bituminous patching material should be either a hot mix or a cold mix, adopting the respective specification. The bituminous mixture, prepared in a plant of suitable capacity should be placed in layers of not more than 100 mm (loose) and compacted in layers with roller/plate compactor/hand roller/rammer to the desired compaction standard.
