This work shall consist of the preparation, laying and compaction of a close-graded premix surfacing material of 20
mm thickness composed of graded aggregates premixed with a bituminous binder on a previously prepared surface,
in accordance with the requirements of these Specifications, to serve as a wearing course.
F Materials:-
· Binder
· Coarse aggregates :
Fine aggregates :- The fine aggregates shall consist of crushed rock quarry sands, natural gravel / sand or a mixture
of both. These shall be clean, hard, durable, un-coated, mineral particles, dry and free from injurious, soft or flaky
particles and organic or deleterious substances.
Aggregate gradation:- The coarse and fine aggregates shall be so graded or combined as to conform to one or the
other gradings shown in Table.
AGGREGATE GRADATION

IS Sieve Cumulative per cent by weight of total aggregate passing
Designation Type A Type B
(mm)
13.2 mm - 100
11.2 mm 100 88 - 100
5.6 mm 52 - 88 31 - 52
2.8 mm 14 - 38 5 - 25
0.090 mm 0-5 0-5
Proportioning of materials:- The total quantity of aggregates used for Type A or B close-graded premix surfacing
shall be 0.27 cubic metre per 10 square metre area. The quantity of binder used for premixing in terms of straight-
run bitumen shall be 22.0 kg and 19.0 kg per 10 square metre area for Type A and Type B surfacing respectively.
F Open in g to Traffic
Traffic may be allowed after completion of the final rolling when the mix has cooled down to the
surrounding temperature. Excessive traffic speeds should not be permitted.
SEAL COAT
F Scope:-
This work shall consist of the application of a seal coat for sealing the voids in a bituminous surface laid to the
specified levels, grade and cross fall (camber).

Seal coat shall be of either of the two types specified below:
A) Liquid seal coat comprising of an application of a layer of bituminous binder followed by a cover of
stone chips.
B) Premixed seal coat comprising of a thin application of fine aggregate premixed with bituminous binder.
PRIME COAT
The work shall consist of application of a single coat of low viscosity liquid bituminous material on Wet Mix
Macadam (WMM) surface before laying bituminous layer on Wet Mix.
Ø MATERIALS:-
Since WMM is considered to be material of low porosity, it is proposed to use Slow Setting Emulsion for Prime
Coat. The Slow Setting Emulsion shall comply with IS: 8887 and shall be procured from reputed manufacturer.
Ø STORAGE OF MATERIALS:-
The material shall be stored at plant area in Emulsion Storage Tank and shall be transferred to
Bitumen/Emulsion distributor as and when material is required for consumption.

Ø RATE OF SPRAY:-
Kinematic Viscosity
Quantity per 10 sq.
Type of surface of Primer at 60°C
m(kg)
(Centistokes)
Low porosity 30 – 60 6 to 9
Medium porosity 70 – 140 9 to 12
High porosity 250 – 500 12 to 15
Ø CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS:-
· ROAD SURFACE:-
The road surface to be primed shall be prepared by cleaning surface with mechanical broom and air compressor.
Prior to applying primer, the surface shall be carefully swept clean of dust and loose particles, care being taken not
to disturb the interlocked aggregate. To achieve this, the WMM surface layer, if required, shall be lightly sprayed
with water and surface allowed to dry to a stage where the surface is slightly moist at the time of priming.
TACK COAT
Tack coat shall consist of the application of a single coat of low viscosity liquid bituminous material to an existing
bituminous road surface and also over the prime coat before laying each layer of DBM.
Ø Materials Quality
This tack coat used shall be of rapid setting bituminous emulsion and applied at a rate of between 0.25 to 0.3 kg
per sq. meters.
Surface to receive emulsion should be dry/ slightly damp, but no free or standing water shall be present.
Applying Procedure
· Before applying the tack coat the surface shall be swept by tractor mounted mechanical broom/air compressor to
clean the dust and loose particles.

· Prior to tack coating the material to be used must be approved by Supervision consultant. The tack coat material
shall be sprayed on to the bituminous using bitumen pressure distributor and at a rate which is stipulated in the
specification as per clause 503.4.3, & Table 500-2. The spray rate is measured using the tray method or sponge
method. Hand spraying of small areas, inaccessible to the distributor, or in a narrow stripe, shall be sprayed with
a pressure hand sprayer.
· After application of the tack coat same shall be left to cure until all the volatiles have evaporated (from brown to
black) before any subsequent construction is started. No plant or vehicles shall be allowed on the tack coat other
than those essential for the construction.
