    This document provides specifications for supplying, laying, and compacting aggregate base course on a prepared subbase or existing pavement, including priming with bitumen emulsion. Key steps include: 1) Setting out the work area according to construction drawings. 2) Preparing the subbase by removing loose material and scarifying existing pavement. 3) Spreading and compacting the aggregate base course in layers not exceeding 200mm thick until 98% maximum dry density is reached. 4) Priming the compacted base with bitumen emulsion at a rate of 1 L/m2.

    4. Flow Chart

    Step 1 – Setting out

    Step 2 – Surface Preparation

    Step 3 – Placing and compaction of ABC and priming

    4. Sequence of ABC Laying and Priming with MC 30

    Step 1 –Setting out the limits of ABC Overlay


    The limits of ABC Overlay shall be set out with the lines grades and levels shown
    in the construction drawings. Level pegs shall be fixed as required at 10m interval
    to show the finished level of ABC.

    Step 2 –Preparation
    All loose material shall be removed from existing road surface or on the
    compacted sub base surface before laying ABC. The prepared sub base surface
    shall be watered where required before laying the Base Course. Where the Base
    Course is laid over an existing bituminous pavement, the preparation of the
    existing surface shall be carried out by cutting grooves with the roller tines / motor
    grader at one meter intervals to scarify the surface before laying the Base Course.
    During this operation, the under lying pavement layer shall not be damaged.

    Step 3 –Spreading and rolling of ABC and priming.


    The transported ABC shall be dumped to the existing road or to the sub base
    surface at widening sections about 100m lengths.
    Aggregate Base Course shall be spread uniformly over the prepared surface &
    leveled by motor grader to the lines, grades and levels marked on pegs allowing
    the layer thickness for the compaction of ABC. Water shall be added to ABC
    before spreading to avoid segregation. Additional water shall be sprayed using
    water bowsers on laid ABC before compaction. Base course shall be spread such
    that the thickness of each layer after compaction shall not be less than 75mm and
    shall not be greater than 200mm. All areas of segregated course and fine material
    shall be corrected by re-mixing or removing and replacing with well graded
    material. Compaction shall be done with 5 ton or 8 ton vibratory roller to achieve
    the degree of compaction 98% of the Maximum Dry Density of the material as
    determined by BS 1377, test 13 (Heavy) or AASHTO T–180 (Modified). Rolling
    shall be commenced at the edge and proceed towards the center except the super
    elevation sections. The completed section shall be checked to the lines and levels
    shown in the construction drawings. The field density tests shall be carried out for
    every 500m2 sections subject to a minimum of one test for each section.

    ENCPRP/NCB/EP/07A/005

    The Compacted, firm and stable ABC surface shall be well brushed to remove
    excess fines, loose aggregate and other objectionable material with ekle brooms
    and brushes. The brushed surface shall be sufficiently dry prior to the
    application of prime coat. The prime coat (MC 30) shall be applied by means of a
    Bitumen distributor/hand sprayer, keeping the temperature within the limit of 40
    – 50 ºC. The prime coat shall be applied at a rate of 1 ltr/m2. The rate of priming
    shall be checked by tray test for every application. The primed area shall be
    completely closed with barricading for the period of minimum 24 hours. After 24
    hours prime coat shall be checked visually weather it completely penetrated in to
    the ABC. If it is penetrated well the road shall be opened to the traffic.

    5. Supervision

    Position responsibilities
    Site Engineer Perform the ABC overlay and priming work on the basis of
    method statement & specification.
    Technical Officer All setting out works in accordance with Method Statement
    Foreman Assist to Site Engineer
    Laboratory Technician Carrying out relevant field tests.

    6. Inspection

    According to the attached Inspection and Test Plan “H point, “W” point inspection and
    tested shall be notified to Site Engineer. Site Engineer shall inspected site works as
    schedule and report the Check List to Materials Engineer (ME).
    The Inspection and Test plan for relevant working area shall be available on site for the
    Engineer to see. Upon completion of the inspection and Test Plan, the ITP shall be
    maintained at the sierra Project Office and submit to the Engineer with the progress
    claim.

    7. Traffic Control

    Two flagmen shall be assigned on either side of the working area to facilitate the traffic in
    one way.

    8. Safety Provision
    Warning signs shall be displayed in advance as well as in working area. Working area
    shall be barricaded with barricading tape with painted barrels or by placing traffic cones.
    Traffic warden jackets are to be provided to all flagmen.
