<strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Assurance</strong> <strong>Handbook</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Rural</strong> <strong>Roads</strong><br />

(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 />

C. Do’s and Don’ts<br />

Do’s Don’ts<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.
