It is generally the responsibility of the Engineer to outline the scope of the project and to discuss the information provided in the contract documents. The fast rolling movements by some static roller operators may produce a good looking surface appearance, but density may suffer. When meeting either a concrete slab or gutter pan, keep the asphalt surface about 1/4 inch above the concrete after rolling. The top of the cover should be set 1/8 inch lower than the string line, adjusted to the elevation of the planned overlay. Non-biodegradable agents that dissolve the HMA mixture, such as fuel oil, shall not be used at the paving site. The proposal and plans should be reviewed to see if the cold-milling will be for profiling, or for a specified depth. Incorporating Safety into Resurfacing and Restoration Projects The length of temporary taper shall be 5 feet for each inch of mat thickness. That is why MDOT offers many ways to help ease the stress of commuting by providing information that commuters want and need as they make daily travel decisions. See Figure 502-4. See Figure 502-6. It is not required to have a stockpile with enough material to produce the recycled mixtures approved for the project. 3 0 obj This certification includes the approval of the field laboratory used for acceptance testing, the Contractors quality control plans (which should be available at the plant) and other plant operational requirements. There are three types of mat tearing, or pulling, of the asphalt mix, and each is described by the location of the tear: in the center of the lane, at the outside edges of the lane, or full width. CSD advertises all MDOT TPSSB A/E projects in excess of $200,000 to solicit Consultant Expressions of Interest. Before the application of bond coat, the surface must be dry and free of sand, gravel and dust. The typical equipment used: Used for cleaning the old surface to be paved. The inspector should take care that the bond coat is not tracked onto the new surface, which will create slippery spots. This information helps the department identify congested areas, when congestion occurs and how often, cause of delay, and more. The street inspector can easily get hurt if they are not aware of the number of vehicles operating on the paving site. 316 0 obj <<1cc850f8a7a5b5157c73556bf669a59d>]>>stream Resources for local governmental agencies that regularly require access to state right of way. After coring is completed, the inspector should check the layer thickness for conformance to the standard specifications. endstream endobj The aggregate base must be rolled after final trimming in order to pack down any loose gravel and minor dips caused by the trimmer. The role of each person on the project, for both MDOT and the Contractor, should be discussed and made clear. Bond coat, also referred to as tack coat, is an asphalt emulsion. Qualification of the material sampling technicians should be a pre-production meeting agenda item. The taper shall be constructed by the use of an approved strike off device attached to the screed that will provide a uniform slope and will not restrict the main screed. The tractor unit is powered by its own engine and provides the power to move the paver forward, either on rubber tires, or crawler tracks. The screed is continually attempting to keep in balance all the forces acting on it. Select all. The screed on the paver can be angled at its center to provide for positive or negative crown. This floating screed principle is employed on all modern pavers in use today. Stop the paver at this point, remove it from the roadway and remove any excess HMA material from the roadway. Finally, the difference in the alignment of the two screeds can cause a difference in the degree of compaction that is obtained from the screed. Forms A3M+<9HWZ+sFW4vKjfMQ"Lk U.c~TMm:YN u3lS( I1$3vsf 02U^0T[H 4n GI_}M&=MbAcL#' Z9[iW:hF-0T@4fbiB#1e7ME B? The spray bar nozzles shall produce a uniform fan spray, and the shutoff shall be instantaneous, with no dripping. The surface can have two types of waves: long waves and short waves. This dryer heats the aggregate to the desired temperature and delivers the material to the hot bins in the tower unit. It is very important that proper air pressure be maintained in all tires. Once the proper yield has been obtained, only periodic checks will be required each day. FHWA Emergency Relief Flow Chart The primary compaction variables that can be controlled during the rolling process are: number of rollers, type of rollers, roller speed, number of roller passes and roller pattern. Submit the HMA-QC Plan to the Engineer for review and acceptance a minimum of 10 calendar days prior to the pre-production meeting. If the aggregate surface is left exposed to the weather, either allowed to dry out or become saturated by rain, sufficient tests must be made immediately prior to placing the mixture to ensure that density requirements are met. To reach the required density, the quickest initial compaction should occur directly behind the lay down machine. The MDOT plant inspector should follow the sampling and testing procedures explained in the Special Provision 20SP501(R) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) or 20SP501(S) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) For Capital Preventive Maintenance (CPM) Mill & Resurface Projects and CPM One Course Overlay Projects. General Description of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Mixtures Item 340 Description: Item 340 is a method specification for conventional dense graded mixtures. The gross weight of the roller can be altered by adding ballast water to the roller drums. Forms When a feathered joint is required, it should be constructed as follows. The mat reference beam is spring supported on a series of wheels that roll on the mat. Clear responsibility for maintenance of all traffic control devices, such as signs, pavement markings and flagging, should also be defined. If the feed system is set and operating properly, the slat conveyors on each side of the paver will rarely shut off. Paving done with automatic screed controls is accomplished with a combination of grade control on one side of the paver and slope control to determine the grade on the other side of the paver. Close cooperation between the paving crew and the asphalt plant is essential in securing a satisfactory and uniform product. The uniformity of the roller passes is just as important as the number of passes. This section provides the mix design guidelines for Marshall and Superpave HMA mixtures for use on MDOT projects. After a short mixing process, the asphalt cement is added and the entire mixture is mixed for 30 to 45 seconds. FY 2022 Project Planning Guide The old saying Safety is Everyones Business is certainly true on an HMA paving project. Once the mix from the second paver is placed against the uncompacted edge, the rollers behind the second paver will densify the joint area. Are circulating systems working properly? The JMF is prepared and signed by the TMI. endobj *If approved by the engineer, in line crushing and/or screening will be allowed in lieu of processing RAP into a stockpile. Excess Moisture. Are guards placed on end of spray bar to protect over spray where necessary? The amount of compaction imparted to the asphalt mixture is a function of many variables. Nonuniform mixing shows up as spots of lean, brown, and dull appearing material within areas of rich and shiny appearance. MDOT should not rely on the contractors daily report for quantities or as a replacement for the MDOT Inspectors Daily Report. For the floating screed principle to work properly, it is important that the pull points on both sides of the tractor be at the same level above the ground. The Contractor must provide all equipment required to prepare the base and place the HMA in accordance with the plans and specifications.

There are two basic types of asphalt mixing plants. B. x DH,YZ`XUNC9*F !c+6N As the first load of mixture is being spread, the texture of the unrolled surface should be checked to determine uniformity. The breakdown roller should be as close to the paver as possible. Any severely spalled areas at joints should be repaired using partial-depth repair methods. Mixture temperature should be checked regularly when the mix arrives on the project and recorded on the load tickets. There are, of course, limits to this. These defects can be divided into two primary categories: equipment related and mixture related. This allows the paver operator to feed more or less mixture to either side of the paver. A vibratory compactor should never exceed a rolling speed that will provide less than one impact of the drum per inch of travel. You may also contact Ryan Doyle at DoyleR3@Michigan.gov. Plan Submittal. The rollers behind the first paver should stay 1 foot away from the free edge toward the second paver. A specified number of samples are to be taken from each sublot. FY 2023 Project Planning Guide The faster a roller passes over a point on the asphalt surface, the less time the weight of the roller has to work on that point; this means that less compactive effort is applied to the mixture. This includes, at a minimum, staff oversight at a level to perform periodic on-site inspections. The inspector should mark areas that will require wedging, which will usually occur when the existing pavement has depressions of 1 inch or more. Material from the existing surface is milled out to a depth as shown on the plans, or equal to the top course, across the entire width of the joint and to a length of 35 feet minimum. Each MDOT region has several Transportation Service Centers (TSCs) that are designed to respond to the transportation needs of local communities. YDMP provides participants with opportunities to pursue higher education, personal growth, and exposure to transportation careers. The slat conveyor on one side operates independently from the movement of the other side. HMA mixtures consist of a blend of asphalt binder and aggregates mixed in an asphalt plant. 4649 0 obj <]>>stream This is helpful at lane tapers, crown corrections, or in areas of wedging. This special provision applies to all Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) acceptance testing for all Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) roads. Certifications are good for one construction season only. Transportation System Performance allows MDOT's regions and engineers to expand their knowledge on how Michigan freeways are operating over time and how they compare to each other.

In Michigan, there are three publicly-owned and operated bridges: Mackinac Bridge, Blue Water Bridge, and International Bridge. Another texture problem that may be observed is caused by material segregation. Bond coat shall be applied to the taper before the adjacent lane is placed. The finished mat should be smooth and free of blemishes. MDOTs Local Agency Program assists local agencies with preserving state and federal aid in a fair and consistent manner and serves as an information resource. It is the MDOT inspectors responsibility to ensure that the Contractor is providing a specification product. Do pneumatic rollers have a min. A listing of key Contractor personnel who will be assigned to the project, with clear lines of authority, should be provided to MDOT. This article returns the responsibility for these tasks to MDOT for all CPM surface seal projects, including those that contain 03SP505A, 03SP507A, 03SP508A, or 03SP508C. Rollers can also be a combination of both pneumatic and steel wheel. What number and type of rollers were used? The Office of Procurement and Contract Management (OPCM) Consultant Services Division (CSD) procures all Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) A/E contracts using Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS), as defined in Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Title 21, Subtitle 12, "Procurement of Architectural Services and Engineering Services" and 23 CFR . This method uses paper, canvas or burlap as the separator, making it easier to remove the mix when the paving operation starts again. }szvn?w -L7C#qV_?[tp}Ts E[3M;oW|90}!v$z3* Bridge railings and piers, curb and gutter pans, and guardrails must be protected from the spray of bond coat by the use of shields. Load ticket = 46.96 tons x 2000 pounds per ton= 93920 pounds, Area Covered: 421 feet x 12 feet wide/9 sft/syd = 561.33 square yards. Any Judge violating such undertakings loses jurisdiction, resulting in his orders being VOID, and he himself commits a treasonable offense against the United States. The dump bed should not hit the paver when dumped. The screed is equipped with heaters, the purpose of which is to increase the temperature of the cold bottom screed plate to about 320F (160C). All existing pavements, including newly-constructed HMA surfaces, which are to be surfaced with HMA, will receive a bond coat application. % Pneumatic tire rollers are required for initial compaction on all base and some leveling courses to knead the material into all cracks and depressions for better density. Public Notice of University Region Bridge Council Meeting for October 12, 2022, FY 2025 Local Bridge Applications Received All pavers are equipped with an automatic feed system that, when properly adjusted, supplies mixture to the paver screed to maintain a uniform head of material. It is MDOTs responsibility to conduct quality assurance and verification sampling and testing to ensure conformity of the mix to 20SP501(R) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) or 20SP501(S) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) For Capital Preventive Maintenance (CPM) Mill & Resurface Projects and CPM One Course Overlay Projects.This testing is done at the field laboratory provided by the Contractor located at the asphalt plant or at an MDOT Region Lab. This minimum rate should also be used between courses as a tack coat. 30 to 120 m 3 /h; EBA Mobile plant for medium productions. The operator should not make manual changes while automation is working. If a hydraulically extendable screed is being used with the paver, the crown can be introduced in the center of the main screed and also at the points between the main screed and the hydraulic extensions. Once the line is set at the proper elevation, it is imperative that the line remain untouched both before and after the paver sensor passes over. This hitch acts to keep the truck in contact with the paver to prevent the truck driver from inadvertently pulling away from the paver and dumping mix on the pavement in front of the paver. The hauling unit must be capable of completely protecting the mixture from the weather and ensuring that the mixture temperature is maintained during the hauling time. Item 340 is generally not recommended for projects with more than 5,000 tons of HMA. Paver speed for various production and application rates can be calculated using the following equations or selected from Figure 502-5. If it falls at the free edge of the pavement, the core location should be moved 2 inches in from the edge. Is distributor tachometer working properly? Deviations in the pavement surface are averaged out over the length of the grade reference device. Density is required across the full pavement width. In the surface course, the entire affected area should be removed promptly and sufficient new material placed to form a true and even surface. 1 0 obj Intermittent operation of the slat conveyors and auger system could cause both auger shadows and ripples in the mat behind the screed. This material can be neat, unmodified or modified with polymers, rubber, latex, etc. Are the king bolts in good condition on steel wheeled rollers? HMA types will be as specified on the plans or in the proposal. Contract Plans Specify 165 pounds/square yard. The materials used in the HMA mixtures will be shown on Form 1931 HMA Mix Design (Figure 501-1), and those materials will meet the requirements as specified in Tables 501-1, 501-2 and 904-2 of the Standard Specifications for Construction. Real Estate Guidance Transportation Reality Check takes on some of these myths, and explains why MDOT does things the way they do. Fuel oil is not to be used as a release agent. Once the truck bed has been emptied of mix, the truck hitch is withdrawn and the truck is able to pull away from the paver. The lane edge should not vary more than 1 inch in 3 feet from the established alignment. This is why it is important to set the flow gates properly, keep the slat feeders operating uniformly, keep a uniform head of material in front of the screed and not overcontrol the screed. 4.4 MDOT Standard Practice for Random Sampling of HMA Materials 4.4.1 Sampling In-Place Paving Material 4.5 Utilizing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Millings from the Same Project When Using a Portable Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Plant GENERAL Pre-Production Meeting A pre-production meeting should be held before work commences on a project. If the wedging course is 3 inches or less, the inspector should string line the area to be wedged to determine the limits of wedging. A scalping screen should be placed in the aggregate cold feed charging system and the RAP feed system to remove any oversize material. This can be accomplished by using a rotary broom, flushing with water, and other methods that may be required to remove clay and dirt. The subject of joints includes longitudinal joints and transverse joints, as well as the matched joint between an asphalt surface and a concrete pavement, or gutter pan. Test methods to be used should be reviewed to assure that individuals understand the purpose of each test, the location of the field lab and the personnel who are to conduct the tests, the time frame for the communication of the test results and the procedures to be used if failing test results are obtained. Moved Permanently. Pavement Type Selection Process; Ride Specification . 311 0 obj <>stream Bulletin include test data for all coarse and fine Aggregate used in Maryland Highway construction. Keeping the hopper at least half full between truckloads of mix keeps the head of mix in front of the screed constant and this will reduce mat problems. Final Report Part 3 Unless otherwise noted, the patching and wedging work is done with the mixture that will be used for the leveling course. If distortion of the base course occurs during the paving operation, the mixture placement should be stopped until the condition of the base course is corrected. Can VPM be locked in on vibratory rollers? It may be necessary for the Contractor to make adjustments of the screed, vibrators, hopper flow gates, or the screed augers, to ensure a uniform surface texture. MDOT's Highway Programs focus on the development and management of the department's roadsides, environmental efforts and policies, and federal-aid highway information. MDOT's Highway Programs focus on the development and management of the department's roadsides, environmental efforts and policies, and federal-aid highway information. The other type adds the asphalt cement and RAP in a separate mixing chamber out of direct contact with the burner flame. Rollers are used to compact the mixture to the required density. Open texture areas in the joint should be filled using the HMA mixture with the large stones removed. This unit is responsible for the development of statewide processes for the implementation of all required state and federal regulations as it relates to local agencies. Public Notice of Superior Region Bridge Council Meeting for September 23, 2022 Any questions about the information in the contract documents should be raised and clarification requested, if necessary. Pavement density control, roller patterns. Compaction must be achieved while the stiffness of the mix is low enough to allow for reorientation of the aggregate particles under the action of the rollers. Safety talks are a very good way to start each day for both the Contractor and MDOT personnel. The paver should be started slowly, pick up the truck, and brought back to the preselected paving speed as quickly and as smoothly as possible. The first yield check should be made as soon as the Contractor has completed all paver adjustments. xc```b``"9@Y8\u],#(f`2=d`f: f endstream endobj For vibratory rollers, the following can be controlled by the operator: vibration frequency, vibration amplitude and direction of travel, when frequency and amplitude are engaged according to the manufacturers recommendations. Rough, uneven surfaces should be leveled. In general, the vibrators should be used near the maximum possible frequency. Selection of appropriate pavement marking materials (paint, thermoplastic . In this instance, the two numbers chosen were: 0.376 and 0.529, for length and transverse offset. Functioning equipment parts, high temperatures, noise and moving delivery and haul trucks all add to the possibility of an accident occurring. All things related to pavement engineering. This floating ski system averages out the variation of the existing grade over a 30 or 40 foot length. Following the example below and accompanying Table 1, pick n numbers corresponding to the length of pavement, followed by picking n numbers for width determination. The method for determining the binder grade in HMA mixtures incorporating RAP and/or RAS is divided into three categories designated Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. If the extensions on the extendable portion of the screed are not properly aligned with the main screed, a longitudinal mark, or ridge, will occur in the surface of the mix at the junction between the two screeds. Ensure sufficient compaction capacity is available. When the basic width of the paver screed needs to be changed to accommodate increased paving widths, rigid or hydraulic screed extensions can be employed. The asphalt cement delivery system must be calibrated. Slick, highly polished surfaces, potholes, old patches, cracks and joints may require repairs. The second unit is the paver screed.
