Temperatures shall be available for inspection by the Road Engineer. The roller shall travel slowly enough to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and successive passes shall overlap. Care shall be taken to avoid damage to adjacent overlaying wearing course by the roller during basecourse compaction. The full width of the compaction plant shall fit inside the excavated area, with sufficient space to ensure adequate compaction as specified over the full width of the road surface. In areas inaccessible to rollers compaction shall be achieved by laying with approved mechanical or hand tampers of sufficient weight and size to enable the specified compaction to be obtained and to conform with the surface regulating requirements specified. DENSITY CONTROL The density of the compacted courses throughout the work shall be related to the "Job Standard Mixture Density" when not more than 10 per cent weight of the total aggregate - filler mix is retained on a 29 mm BS sieve, or to the absolute density when more than 10 per cent is retained The "Job Standard Mixture Density" shall be obtained by making six standard Marshall specimens from samples of the approved "Job Standard Mixture", determining the apparent specific gravity of each and comparing them with the mean value of the six. Any individual result which differs from the mean by moze than 0.015 shall be rejected and provided not more than two results are so rejected the mean of the remaining results shall be designated the "Job Standard Mixture Relative Density” The absolute density shall be obtained as the theoretical specific gravity calculated in accordance with the BS 598. The field density of the mixture shall be determined by taking twin samples using an approved coring machine from every 1,000 sq.m at least of each course of surfacing and the mean value of their densities shall be taken as the field density of the compacted course for that area Additional twin samples shall be taken across the longitudinal lane joints at not more than 160 m intervals in positions selected by the Road Engineer and when directed across any transverse joints, for similar determinations. 20Ay The field density shall be such that of six consecutive mean values not more than three results shall be below 98% of the "Job Standard Mixture Density” or 94% of the absolute density when eppropriate, as specified in paragraphs A and B of this Clause. Material which does not meet this requirement shall be cut out and replaced. The Samples shall also be used to determine the course thickness for comparison with the specified course thickness for the course. 21SECTION 5 — KERBS, PAVED AREAS AND UNPAVED AREAS 5.1.6 MATERIALS FOR PAVING Kerbs shall be hydraulically pressed and manufactured to the standards of BS 340 using sulphate resisting cement.

The combination of permitted tolerances in the levels of different pavement courses shall not result in a reduction in thickness of the Pavement, excluding the sub-base, by more than 15 mm from the specified thickness nor a reduction in the thickness of the bituminous Wearing course by more than 5 mm from that specified. ¢. For checking compliance with sub-clause 6.1.l.a, measurements of the surface levels of all courses will be taken on a grid of points selected by the Road Engineer. In any length of pavement compliance shall be deemed to be met for all surfaces, other than the final road surface, when not more than one of ten consecutive measurements taken longitudinally or one in any transverse line, exceeds the tolerances permitted in Table 7, provided that this one measurement shall not exceed by more than 5 mm the tolerances for the course Goncerned. For the final road surface the tolerances given in Table 7 shall apply to any point on that surface. Surface Regularity The longitudinal regularity of the surface of the wearing course shall be within the relevant limits stated in Table 8. Any irregularity is a variation of not less than 4 mm or 7 mm of the profile of the road surface as measured by rolling straight edge. No irregularity exceeding 10 mm shall be permitted. Compliance with Table 8 will be tested by a rolling straight edge complying with the type used by the Materials Testing Laboratory of CED, along any line or lines parallel to the edge of pavement on Sections of 300 m selected by the Road Engineer, whether or not it is constructed in shorter lengths. Sections shorter than 300 m forming part of a longer Pavement shall be assessed using the number of irregularities for a 300 m length pro-rata to the nearest whole number. where the total length of 256.3.2 5 7 for irregularities at points decided by the Road aaceeecees At angles to the centre line of th maximum allowable difference between surface and the straight edge shall b Rectification If any tolerances or limits of this Clause are exceeded the full extent of the area which does not comply with the Specification shall be made good and the surface of the pavement course shall be rectified in a manner to be approved by the Road Engineer.
