filler material meant for preventing ravelling, shall comprise of a suitable material
approved by the Engineer in charge having a Plasticity Index (PI) value of less than
6 as determined in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part-5).
The quantity of binding material where it is to be used, will depend on the

type of screening. Generally, the quantity required for 75 mm compacted
thickness of water bound macadam will be 0.06-0.09 m3/10m2 compacted
thickness.
3.3.1 Preparation of base: The surface of the sub-base/base to receive the water
bound macadam course shall be prepared to the specified lines and cross-fall (camber)
and made free of dust and other extraneous material. Any ruts of soft yielding places
shall be corrected in an manner approved by the Engineer in Charge and rolled until firm
surface is obtained if necessary by sprinkling water. Any base/surface irregularities,
where predominant, shall be made good by providing appropriate type of profile corrective
course (levelling course) of Clause 501 of MORT&H(4th revision) Specifications for
Road and Bridge works.
3.3.2 Spreading coarse aggregates: The coarse aggregates shall be spread

uniformly and evenly upon the prepared sub-base/base to proper profile by using
templates placed across the road about 6 m apart, in such quantities that the
CA No, CE (P) RTNL/ /2012-13
thickness of each compacted layer is not more than and 75 mm as specified here
in above.
- 42 -
The spreading shall be done from stockpiles along the side of the roadway
or directly from vehicles. No segregation of large or fine aggregates shall be
allowed and the coarse aggregate as spread shall be of uniform gradation with no
pockets of fine material.
The surface of the aggregates spread shall be carefully checked with the
templates and all high or low spots remedied by removing or adding aggregates as
may be required. The surface shall be checked frequently with a straight edge
while spreading and rolling so as to ensure a finished surface as per approved
drawings.
The coarse aggregates shall not normally be spread more than 3 days in
advance of the subsequent construction operations.
3.3.3 Rolling: Immediately following the spreading of the coarse aggregate, rolling
shall be started with three wheeled power rollers of 80 to 100 kN capacity or
tandem or vibratory rollers of 80 to 100 kN static weight. The type of roller to be
used shall be approved by the Engineer in charge based on trial run.
Except on super-elevated portions where the rolling shall proceed from
inner edge to the outer, rolling shall begin from the edges gradually progressing
towards the centre. First the edge/edges shall be compacted with roller running
forward and backward. The roller shall then move inward parallel to the centre line
of the road, in successive passes uniformly lapping preceding tracks by at least
one half width.
Rolling shall be discontinued when the aggregates are partially compacted
with sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. During
rolling, slight sprinkling of water may be done, if necessary. Rolling shall not be
done when the base is soft or yielding or when it causes a wave-like motion in the
sub-base course.
The rolled surface shall be checked transversely and longitudinally, with
templates and any irregularities corrected by loosening surface adding or
removing necessary amount of aggregates and re-rolling until the entire surface
conforms to desired cross-fall (camber) and grade. In no case shall the use of
screenings to be permitted to make up depressions.
Material which gets crushed excessively during compaction or becomes
segregated shall be removed and replaced with suitable aggregates.
3.3.4 Application of Screenings: After the coarse aggregate has been rolled to
Clause given above, screenings to completely fill the interstices shall be applied
gradually over the surface. These shall not be damp or wet at the time of
application. Dry rolling shall be done while the screenings are being spread so
that vibrations of the roller cause them to settle into the voids of the coarse
aggregate. The screenings shall not be dumped in piles but be spread uniformly
in successive thin layers either by the spreading motions of hand shovels or by
mechanical spreaders, or directly from tipper with suitable grit spreading
arrangement. Tipper operating for spreading the screenings shall be so driven as
not to disturb the coarse aggregate.
CA No, CE (P) RTNL/ /2012-13
The screenings shall be applied at a show and uniform rate (in three or
more applications) so as to ensure filling of all voids. This shall be accompanied
by dry rolling and brooming with mechanical brooms, handbrooms or both. In no
case shall the screenings be applied so fast and thick as to form cakes or ridges
- 81 -
on the surface in such a manner as would prevent the direct bearing of the
rollers on the coarse aggregate. These operations shall continue until no more
screenings can be forced into the voids of the coarse aggregate.
The spreading, rolling, and brooming of screenings shall be carried out in

only such lengths of the road which could be completed within one days
operation.
3.3.5 Sprinkling of Water and grouting: After the screenings have been applied,
the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water, swept and rolled. Hand
brooms shall be used to sweep the wet screenings into voids and to distribute
them evenly. The sprinkling, sweeping and rolling operation shall be continued,
with additional screenings applied as necessary until the coarse aggregate has
been thoroughly keyed, well bonded and firmly set in its full depth and a grout has
been formed of screenings. Care shall be taken to see that the base or subgrade
does not get damaged due to the addition of excessive quantities of water during
construction.
3.3.6. Application of Binding Material : After the application of screenings in

accordance with Clauses give here in above. the binding material where it is
required to be used (Clause 404.2.7 of MoSRT&H specifications) shall be applied
successively in two or more thin layers at a slow and uniform rate. After each
application, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water, the resulting slurry
swept in with hand brooms, or mechanical brooms to fill the voids properly, and
rolled during which water shall be applied to the wheels of the rollers if necessary
to wash down the binding material sticking to them. These operations shall
continue until the resulting slurry after filling of voids, forms a wave ahead of the
wheels of the moving roller.
3.3.7 Setting and Drying: After the final compaction of water bound macadam
course, the pavement shall be allowed to dry overnight. Next morning hungry
spots shall be filled with screeings or bindings material as directed, lightly
sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled. No traffic shall be allowed on the
road until the macadam has set. The Engineer in charge shall have the discretion
to stop hauling traffic from using the completed water bound macadam course, if in
his opinion it would cause excessive damage to the surface.
The compacted water bound macadam course should be allowed to

completely dry and set before the next pavement course is laid over it.
