METHOD STATEMENT

FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT (REHABILITATION) 2.5.3 Preparatory Works Prior to the commencement of works, the areas should be thoroughly investigated and checked. Presence of any underground utilities especially cabling work shall be detected and marked in order to avoid damaged during the mixing operation. Any utilities that could not be avoided during the stabilization operation, relocation works need to be done. 2.5.4 Coring and Investigation Coring need to be done to identify the thickness of the existing pavement. Upon identify the thickness of each of the pavement layer, the thickness of the asphalt and the existing crusher run base in the vicinity of the determined recycle stabilization areas should be taken for sieve analysis and laboratory compaction. The dosage of stabilizing agent such as Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) to be applied in respect to the required strength shall be pre-determined in the Laboratory by Unconfined Compression Strength Test. 2.5.5 Pre-Treatment If the base is wet and above the Optimum moisture content, the base material need to be pre-treated. The process of pre-treatment using the stabilizer machine or any other mechanical mean approved by the Engineer is by pulverized the base material to dry-out the material until below the Optimum moisture Content before the process of spreading the cement for stabilization. 2.5.6 Spreading of Stabilization Agent The determined recycle stabilization areas shall be marked and the required quantity of cement shall be spread over the areas. If case of the stabilization area is small, spreading could be done manually, in order to reduce the spreading cost. To have a uniform spreading, the cement bags shall be placed in areas that already been marked off, opened and spread with a rake or other mechanical mean alike. The Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) or any other stabilizing agent in powder form shall be spread with the mechanical spreader in order to get a better production of the works. The quantity of the cement for recycle stabilization area shall be spread manually to the required design.

METHOD STATEMENT

FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT (REHABILITATION) The rotor of stabilizer shall be so adjusted that the required thickness of breaking and mixing is achieved after compaction. The area near edge of the pavement shall be worked by shifting the rotor of the stabilizer sideways, the maximum offset outward from machine wheel is 35cm on either side. 2.5.7 Breakdown Compaction When necessary to have a break-down compaction after mixing, pneumatic tired roller shall be used for break-down compaction. Sprinkling of water from pneumatic tired roller shall be permitted to obtain the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) during the break-down compaction. Vibrating roller with 20 t static mass ideal is use with rolling pattern of 2 passes static and 6 passes vibration. Moisture content is the most critical variable in achieving densification with minimum effort. Due to the time delay between recycling and finishing off, a light application of water should always be applied to the surface before final rolling. 2.5.8 Trimming and Compaction • Immediately after break-down compaction (if require), undulations shall be eliminated by a motor grader. Further compaction by a pneumatic tired roller or a viabratory roller shall be used for full pavement compaction. To achieve best suitable compaction the moisture content of the mixture should be controlled to an about of Optimum Moisture Content (OMC). Fine trimming by motor grader to obtain the required level after final compaction. Final smooth rolling by pneumatic tired roller to knead down any loose material left over on the surface. 2.5.9 Prime Coating After compaction of the above operations, prime coat of cationic Bituminous Emulsion with Bitumen content not less than 58% shall be sprayed at the rate 0.5L/m2 – 1.0L/m2. 2.5.10 Trial Area Prior to the commencement of site works, it is recommended a trial area shall be carried out to establish the rolling method, required to produce the specified field density. The established method thereafter shall be used be used as a standard for site control.

FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT (REHABILITATION) 2.7 HOT IN-PLACE RECYCLING (HIPR) 2.7.1 Description of works HIPR or Hot In-Place Recycling is a method of road rehabilitation where existing pavement is recycle and laid back in one single pass. The process is most suitable to rehabilitate pavement experiencing functional distress i.e. surface cracking, minor rutting and shoving etc. 2.7.2 HIPR Process and Construction Method The existing pavement is heated between 90oC – 100oC to soften the bituminous surface layer. Clusters of infrared heaters fed with propane gas which radiate thermal energy onto the wearing course surface shall do the pre-heating process. Additional heater banks on the Remixer heat the asphalt wearing course to the working temperature of about 120oC – 140oC. The surface temperature can be effectively controlled via the variable gas pressure, heater bank height and forward speed. The rotating scarifier fitted with spirally shaped carbide-tipped scarify the surface to the required depth. New virgin material and rejuvenator will be added into the pug-mill where thorough mixing is done. The amount of this two materials is controlled electronically and shall be followed the approved mix design. The final remixed materials is discharge from the pug-mill in the windrow and evenly spread over the heated surface with a vibrating and temping screed. The Remix asphalt shall not be opened to traffic until compaction has been completed and the materials has thoroughly cooled and set in the opinion of the Engineer’s representative. This is usually not less than 4 hours from the initial of rolling. 2.7.3 Trial Area Prior to the commencement of site works, it is recommended a trial area shall be carried out to establish the rolling method, required to produce the specified field density. The established method thereafter shall be used be used as a standard for site control.
