accompanied by brooming Engineer
screenings shall not be damp or wet
at the time of application.

J) After complete application of the Site Site Engineer

screenings the surface shall be Engineer
sprinkled with water, swept and
rolled.

K) Sprinkle the water on surface and Site Site Engineer

continue the rolling operation with Engineer
sprinkling of water with sweeping
with additional screenings applied as
necessary until the coarse aggregate
has become well bonded and firmly
set its full depth and a grout has
been formed of the screenings.

L) Ensure the first layer fully set to the Site Site Engineer
satisfaction, lay the second layer in Engineer
the same procedure to obtain the
compacted thickness of 100mm

correct camber and slopes and carry out any
rectification and repairs if required.

B) Clear the surface of sub-base free of dust and Site Site Engineer
other extraneous materials Engineer

C) Spread Grade – II aggregates in two layers Site Site Engineer

and compacted thickness should be of 75mm Engineer
each.

D) Following the spreading of the coarse Site Site Engineer

aggregate, rolling shall be started with 8 to 10 Engineer
tonnes capacity.

E) Rolling shall be started from edges and Site Site Engineer

gradually progressing towards the centre by Engineer
overlapping the preceding passes to obtain
correct camber except on super-elevated
portions.

F) For super-elevated portion rolling should be Site Site Engineer

started from inner edge and proceeding Engineer
towards outer edge.

G) Apply the binding materials gradually over Site Site Engineer

the surface to completely fill the inter-sites. Engineer
Binding materials shall not be wet or damp at
the time of application.

H) The rate of spreading binding materials shall Site Site Engineer

not be less than 3 m3 to 4.5 m3 / 100m m3 Engineer
Accompanied by dry rolling and brooming
until no more binding material can be forced
into the voids of the coarse aggregate.

I) Sprinkle the water on the surface and Engineer
sweep with brooms to make even
surface.

J) Continue the rolling operation with Site Site Engineer

water sprinkling & brooming with Engineer
additional binding materials necessary
until the coarse aggregate had been
thoroughly keyed, well-bounded and
firmly set in its full depth and a grout
has been formed of binding materials.

course allow road to dry. Any hungry Engineer
spots shall be filled with binding
materials & lightly sprinkle with
water in necessary and rolled to
obtain the compacted thickness of
80mm.
