Pre-Construction Stage :
1. Confirm mix design is available and hot mix plant setting is matching the mix design.

2. Confirm material has been tested and is of acceptable quality.

3.Confirm whether all the materials are as per criteria furnished in specifications

4. Ensure freshly laid surface is barricaded or boulder pitched to prevent traffic.

5. Check the probable environmental impacts due to functioning of the hot mix plant and
ensure proper remedial actions are taken before the actual operation begins. Ensure
regular check to monitor the environment and its proper implementation.

6. Check whether traffic arrangements have been set before commencing.

Plant Operation :
1.Determine whether the stock piled aggregate is similar to the material used for the mix
Design, Confirm their quality and quantity.
2. Examine the plant whether weighing equipment is as specified.

3. Determine if there are safety provisions for sample collection as per specifications.

4. Check asphalt storage tanks and determine that they meet specifications. All storage
tanks, transfer lines, pumps etc. should have heating oils or should be jacketed and
heated to maintain the asphalt at the required temperatures.
5.Check whether there are overflow chutes for the hot aggregate storage, which will
prevent overflow between adjacent bins. Examine the chutes to see that they are not
clogged.

Production Stage:
1. Maintain a daily plant record. Use a form approved by the Engineer.

2.Observe aggregate storage and determine that it meets requirement set forth in the
Specifications. And ensure the required quantity stored properly in dry condition.

3.Monitor and record the temperature of the asphalt and aggregate and determine that
it meets requirement set forth in the specifications.

4.Observe the overall plant operation to see that dust or smoke is being controlled as
Specified.

5.Observe plant productions to assume that a homogenous mixture is being produced

check the aggregate gradation, mixture consistency, stability and bitumen content.

6.Periodically check the batching by comparing the total weight of the batches in a
truckload with the platform scale weight for the some load (This can be done only
when the mixed materials are not kept in silos).

7. Examine truck beds prior to loading to ensure that contaminating agents are not used.

Transportation Stage:
1. Check whether truck beds are smooth and free form holes and depression.

2. Are trucks equipped with adequate covers?

3. Do truck and paver operate together without interference?

4. Check the temperature of mix at the time of loading and unloading. If the reduction
in temperature is substantial, the mix should be discarded .
During Laying:
1. Record measurements of air, surface and asphaltic mix temperatures. Cool air
blowing can reduce the temperatures of the mix. A cold surface can suck heat out the
mix extremely fast. This will be critical when the lift thickness is thin.
2. Ensure that longitudinal joints are offset as specified.
3. Check whether the conveyor is exposed to make sure that material is on the hopper
conveyor at all times.
4. Check whether paver hopper is near full at all times. Check flow gates and augurs.
Paver wings should not be dumped as large aggregates accumulate in the wings. Waste
it at
5. the end.
Ensure the rolling temperature of mix during rolling

6. Check transverse and longitudinal joints are constructed properly. Observe

constructions at cold transverse joints to see specifications are being met.
7. Observe that the segregation and visual pavement deformities are being avoided or
corrected.
8. Ensure that defective areas have not developed. Check pavement for pooling of
asphalt, bleeding, raveling, rock pockets, consistent color etc.
During Rolling :
1. Check the water supply, spray bars and nozzles. Any clogged nozzles need to be
cleaned out before work beings
2. If the rollers are to be stopped for any length of time, park at an angle on a cool part of
the mat. Parking on a warm mat will most likely leave an indentation that will not roll out.

3. Sharp turns shall be avoided otherwise it will cut the mat.

4. At the end of a pass, while reversing, turn the roller into a slight curve prior to stopping
avoid leaving a transverse ridge across the mat.

5.Ensure to follow the approved Rolling pattern only
