Speed Table - Binder course/ regulating of carriageway The sub base will be regulated to thickness/ tonnage as agreed by the Engineer. The surface will be compacted using a Bitelli twin drum 120 roller or larger. Adjustment of iron work On completion of the regulating/ base course, as directed by the Engineer, ironwork shall be adjusted to a specified height above the regulated carriageway. Surface course Prior to laying the surface course all joints will be painted using hot applied oxidized bitumen. An even spread of K1-40 emulsion tack coat shall then be applied to the regulated surface. The new 14mm Stone Mastic Asphalt surface course shall be laid by paving machine to a nominal 40mm depth. The thickness of laid material may vary in areas if the road is not regulated. Asphalt is delivered to site by lorry and tipped directly into the paving machine by watch of a banksman. The laid material then compacted using an 8/10 tonne dead weight roller and Bitelli vibrating twin drum roller. Phase 9 – Horn Lane/Grafton Road/Hereford Road junction, Raised Table Traffic Management, Grafton Road and Hereford Road. Road Closure with diversion. Horn Lane will be controlled with 2-way traffic signals. Pedestrian Traffic, Pedestrian crossings closed. New Crossing points provided. The works, Removal of existing surface All visible ironworks will be marked on the ground with spray paint prior to planing. The existing carriageway will be planed off to a nominal depth of 100mm or 40mm using a mechanical 2.0 metre wide tracked planer. All arisings will be conveyed directly onto 8 wheeled tipper lorries and carted immediately off site to the contractors approved tip. Ironworks will be broken around by tractair/ compressor, debris being loaded into tipper lorries and carted from site. Surfacing joints will be cut using a floor saw fitted with a dust suppression water bottle. The carriageway will be swept to the Engineer’s satisfaction by a mechanical sweeper. Any differences in levels caused by the planing and raised ironworks will be ramped using temporary material as necessary. Binder course/ regulating of carriageway The base course will be regulated to thickness/ tonnage as agreed by the Engineer. The surface will be compacted using a Bitelli twin drum 120 roller or larger. Adjustment of iron work On completion of the regulating/ base course, as directed by the Engineer, ironwork shall be adjusted to a specified height above the regulated carriageway. Surface course Prior to laying the surface course all joints will be painted using hot applied oxidized bitumen. The bitumen pot will be located on the back of a vehicle and never removed onto the highway. An even spread of K1-40 emulsion tack coat shall then be applied to the regulated surface. The new 14mm Stone Mastic Asphalt surface course shall be laid by paving machine to a nominal 40mm depth. The thickness of laid material may vary in areas if the road is not regulated. Asphalt is delivered to site by lorry and tipped directly into the paving machine by watch of a banksman. The laid material then compacted using an 8/10 tonne dead weight roller and Bitelli vibrating twin drum roller. On completion of works On completion of wearing course all iron work will be sealed using oxidized bitumen. All plant, materials and traffic management removed from site. Phase 13 – 183, Raised Table Traffic Management, Faraday Road Closure with diversion. Horn Lane will be controlled with 2-way traffic signals. Pedestrian Traffic, Pedestrian crossings closed.
