Laying Procedure
As soon as the asphaltic concrete binder course is approved and accepted, work will
commence on site.

Sweeping is required to ensure that the surface to be covered with the asphaltic
concrete wearing course is free of any damage, loose materials, and standing water.

After the asphaltic wearing course is laid, a tack coat of approved bitumen emulsion
should be applied according to specifications to the prepared surface.

Wearing asphaltic concrete shall be plant mixed with bitumen content.

Tipper trucks will deliver the approved asphaltic wearing course to the site. The mixture
shall be covered by tarpaulin or canvass to prevent heat loss.

Pavers must lay the asphaltic concrete wearing course in a single layer. Utilize the
specified equivalent type of compactors for compaction. In all cases, rolling shall begin
from the lower to the higher side of the carriageway.

A minimum rolling temperature of 125 degrees Celsius is required.

The asphaltic concrete surface of the wearing course shall be finished to the line and
grade shown in the drawings.
Rehabilitation of the North East Entrance of Sana’a 20
METHOD STATEMENT
City

Once the laying and compaction are complete, a joint survey should be conducted to
check for compliance with the specifications.

When all of the above work has been completed, the supervisor is responsible for
tidying up the site and disposing of excess materials.

Transport/Delivery
Transport of bituminous materials should be made in clean vehicles, and the material
must be covered while in transit or awaiting tipping.

In order to prevent contamination with foreign matter, every precaution must be taken
to avoid the segregation of mixed materials.

To keep materials at a satisfactory temperature during transit and to prevent undue

heat loss, adequate precautions must be taken to ensure the materials are properly
protected.

Asphalt Paving Works

Laying
Immediately after arriving at the laying site, the mixed materials must be continuously
fed to the paver and laid without delay.

Pavement materials with bitumen as the binder shall, whenever possible, be spread,
leveled, and tamped by self-propelled pavers capable of laying to the required width,
profile, camber, or cross fall.

Immediately after any course is placed and before the rolling begins, the surface should
be checked and any defects or irregularities in alignment, grade, or texture should be
corrected by adding or removing the mixture.

Compaction
Ideally, the material should be compacted as soon as possible so that rolling can be
achieved without displacing the mixture.

Bituminous base course and wearing course shall have a compacted thickness of
60mm & 50mm, respectively, (as per the contract.)

The bituminous material will be compacted using steel wheel tandem vibratory rollers
and pneumatic tire rollers.

The rollers should be equipped with beepers.

Rehabilitation of the North East Entrance of Sana’a 21
METHOD STATEMENT
City

Roll the materials longitudinally from the sides to the center of the carriageway. Rolling
needs to produce equal amounts of air voids longitudinally and transversally.

Two times, rolls pass through a vibrating compactor before passing through a non-
vibrating compactor twice. At least 12 tonnes must be the weight of the roller.

The tire roller should be used for compaction eight times during the roll pass process.

Non-vibratory compactors should be used for the last compaction.

2.5.6Road Repairing:

For road repairing CGC will follow these procedures.

2.5.6.1 Filler

Most driveways are made with cold asphalt, which is easier to repair than hot
asphalt, because no special tools are required. Asphalt suppliers and home
improvement stores frequently sell cold asphalt in bulk or by bag for minor
repairs. Apply new asphalt to a crack or hole as a filler. Compact over it
several times until the material is thoroughly compacted and smooth.

2.5.6.2 Patch

Asphalt contractors commonly patch potholes. Depending on their severity,

potholes are repaired in two basic ways. A minor pothole, which only
impacts the surface layer, involves removing debris from the hole and filling
it with new hot asphalt. Once the hole is patched, the asphalt is flattened
using a hand tamper or roller. A section of pavement must be cut to the sub-
grade, or base layer, to repair a large pothole. Once the material is removed
with a jackhammer, each layer of the pavement needs to be refilled,
including placing an asphalt patch on the surface. Compact the repaired area
with a hand tamper or roller until it is level.

.5.7.3 Surface Treatment

Asphalt contractors sometimes spray old, brittle roadways with a protective

coating, such as a fog seal or rejuvenator, to stop them from crumbling. A
fog seal is made of tar or diluted asphalt and is sprayed on the pavement. It
fills minor cracks and gets rid of surface blemishes.

.5.7.4 Drainage System:

.0 Traffic Management Plan During Maintenance

The traffic plan during implementation includes general outline. It is changeable and fixable
to adopt any changes and updates required during implementation. Upon signing the
contract with UNOPS, we will immediately start to discuss the detailed comprehensive
traffic plan with the traffic authority in the Arman city.

The traffic arrangement during maintenance will work to ensure the following:

- Road users are accommodated through and around the maintenance zones safely with
minimum of delays;
- Traffic control and the maintenance activities are coordinated to provide for safe and
efficient flow of traffic together with efficient, safe and rapid progress of the
maintenance activity;
- Where maintenance activities are taking place at multiple sites along the road,
maintenance activity and the movement of road users is coordinated to ensure that
the total delay along the road or on signed alternative detours is within acceptable
limits;
- Driver behavior is effectively influenced so that the speeds are reduced to the suitable
levels on the approaches to and within the maintenance zones; and
Since the subproject is within an urban environment, works requiring partial road closures
should be phased, where possible, so that they are not undertaken at the same time.

shall be sawn to at least 1/3 depth of the slab +5 mm.

6.6 Surface Texture:-

After the final floating and finishing of the slab and before the application of the curing
membrane, the surface of the concrete slabs shall be textured in transverse direction. The
texturing shall be done by tinning the finished concrete surface by using rectangular steel ties.
The texturing unit is an integral part of the paver and texturing will be started after a gap of 1-2
hours of finishing of slab so as not to damage the freshly finished surface. The Texturing depth
shall be measured by sand patch method as mentioned in clause 602.12 of MORTH. Texture
depth should not be more than 1.5 mm.

6.7 Curing:-

Immediately after texturing, the surface and the sides of the slab shall be sprayed with the
approved resin based aluminized reflective curing compound which hardens into an
impervious film, with the help of mechanical sprayer. After the curing compound loses its
tackiness, the slab will be cover with moist hessian laid in two layers and same shall be kept
damp for a minimum period of 14 days and maximum 28 days time periods.

6.8 Saw Cutting of Joints:

The finished concrete slab shall be saw cut at transverse/Longitudinal joints with diamond
studded blades soon after the concrete has hardened to take the load of the sawing machine
and crew members without damaging the texture of pavement. such time difference will be
determined for the first time of saw cutting and for further works the same duration shall be
adopted for saw cutting of transverse/Longitudinal Joints. The contraction joint shall be of the
dimensions as shown in the drawing and subsequently widened accommodate the sealant at
the time of sealing of joints.

6.9 Sealing of grooves :-

Grooves shall be cleaned using compressed air and water jet, primed and filled with
polyurethane as shown in the drawing.

6 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA :-
a. Edge of the carriage way shall be within ± 10 mm.
b. Level tolerance shall be ±5mm.
c. Surface regularity shall be ±3mm.
d. Thickness of the slab shall be -5mm and +10mm.
e. The average 28 days flexural strength of the batch of beams shall exceed the specified
characteristics flexural strength plus 1.65 times the standard deviation of the batch.
f. There is no honey combing in concrete.
g. Tolerance level factor is 1.5.
h. The 28 days Strength of more than one test beam should not be less than specified
characteristic flexural strength in the same batch.

7 SURFACE FINISHING & QUALITY CONTROL :-

Test frequency and surface finishing shall conform to MORTH section 900.
