Do’s Don’ts<br />

1. Ensure that aggregates con<strong>for</strong>m to grading specified<br />

and are dry and clean at the time of laying.<br />

2. Apply a tack coat, over the base preparatory to laying of the modified penetration macadam.<br />

3. Ensure that the coarse aggregates comply with the physical requirements laid down in Table<br />

504.2. The coarse and key aggregates shall be 40 mm size hand broken metal and 12 mm size stone<br />
