(v) The binder <strong>for</strong> tack coat and its application should be as per sub-section 503.<br />
2. The prepared surface should comply with the permitted tolerances in respect of horizontal<br />
alignment, surface levels and surface regularity specified <strong>for</strong> base course.<br />
(i) Horizontal Alignment<br />
Edges of the (±) 30 mm in plain (±)50 mm in hilly<br />
pavement layer and rolling terrain terrain<br />
(ii) Surface levels<br />
Granular Surface (±)15 mm<br />
Bituminous Surface (±) 10 mm<br />
(iii) Surface Regularity<br />
Granular/Bituminous Surface<br />
Longitudinal Profile 12 mm<br />
Transverse Profile 8 mm<br />

1. Remove dust from the surface being prepared by air<br />
jet or other approved means.<br />
2. Where required, an existing bituminous layer should<br />
be scarified carefully without undue disturbance to<br />
the underlying layers<br />
3. The edges of all potholes should be cut/trimmed<br />
vertically<br />
4. In the final layer, the mix should be spread slightly<br />
proud of the surface.<br />
5. After back filling in layers, an excavated pothole,<br />
ensure the compaction of each layer by a small<br />
Roller/Plate Compactor or at least a Rammer<br />
502. PRIME COAT OVER GRANULAR BASE<br />
A Methodology<br />
1. Do not lay a bituminous layer without properly<br />
preparing the surface.<br />
2. Do not lay any bituminous material on a granular<br />
surface without priming the surface.<br />
3. Do not use a bituminous mixture to fill the portion<br />
below the level of bituminous construction while filling<br />
a pothole.<br />
4. Do not allow any spillage of binder on the surface while<br />
pouring the binder into wide cracks.<br />
5. Do not allow traffic over profile corrective course.<br />
1. Bituminous primer should be slow setting bitumen emulsion, use of cutback being restricted to<br />
areas having subzero temperature or <strong>for</strong> emergency operations.<br />
2. The prime coat should be applied only on the top most granular base layer, over which bituminous<br />
treatment is to be applied. The granular base surface should be swept clean of dust and loose<br />
particles and where required, lightly and uni<strong>for</strong>mly sprinkled with water to moist the surface.
