APPROVED
drive wheel towards the paving machine. The sequence of rolling the first paving
lane should be to first roll the lower edge (with reference to the transverse slope) of

rolled from the lower side towards the upper edge with overlapping roller paths. On
adjoining paving lanes rolling shall begin by overlapping the joint (with the previous
lane) by 150 to 200mm and then rolling the outside edge of the new lane. The
interior should be with overlapping wheel paths. Alternate paths of the roller shall be
OPERATING DEPT. of slightly different lengths.
3.9.2 The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of
the hot mixture. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of
the roller or from any other cause shall be corrected at once by raking and applying

when necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse
joint, it shall be made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course, in

expose a vertical face. In both methods all contact surfaces shall be given a tack
coat of bituminous material before placing any fresh mixture against the joint.

PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Verify that substrate surfaces and joint openings are ready to receive work.
B. Verify that joint backing and release tapes are compatible with sealant.
A. Inspection: Examine joint surfaces to receive caulking and sealant materials, and
report to Engineer, all unacceptable conditions.
REVISIONS B. Cleaning:
DRAWN BY: ___________ 1. General: Thoroughly clean all joints scheduled to receive caulking and
DATE: _________________
sealant materials. Rake joint to full width and depth. Remove loose
particles present or resulting from cleaning operations, by blowing out joints
CHK’D BY: ____________
with oil free compressed air. All traces of bituminous materials must be
APPROVED
removed.
ENGINEERING DEPT.
2. Porous Surface: Clean surface, such as concrete by grinding, blast-
cleaning, mechanical abrading, acid washing or a combination of these
methods to provide a clean, sound base surface for caulking and sealant
adhesion. Remove form oils by blasting-cleaning. Insure that concrete is
fully cured and free from laitance, loose aggregate and surface treatments.
OPERATING DEPT. If surface treatments are present, test for adhesion before proceeding with
sealing work.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. General: Employ only proven installation techniques which will insure that sealants
will be deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets and with
complete "wetting" of the joint bond surfaces equally on opposite sides. Except as
otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet to a slightly concave surface, slightly below
adjoining surfaces. Where horizontal joints are between a horizontal surface and a
vertical surface, fill joint to form a slight cove, so that the joint will not trap moisture
and dirt.

JOB ORDER NO. PLANT NO. INDEX DRAWING NO. PAGE NO. REV.
B. Back-up: Install back-up material to a proper depth in all joints. Use back-up material
of a suitable size and shape, so that when compressed (25 to 50%), it will fit in all
joints as required. When using a back-up of hose or rod stock, roll the material into
the joint to avoid lengthwise stretching. Do not twist or braid the hose or rod stock.
Use bond-breaker strips in all joints, where sufficient room for back-up material does
not exist and where required by manufacturer's recommendations.
D. Caulking and Sealing: Follow manufacturer's instructions regarding mixing, pot life
and application procedure. Do not apply sealing materials when the temperature of
the material, air or substrate is below 7.2 Deg. C (45 Deg.F) or during wet or humid
weather. Apply sealing materials in full bead and force into joint.
3.4 CLEANING
OPERATING DEPT. Remove excess sealing materials from adjacent surfaces. Clean surfaces using procedures
recommended by the sealing material manufacturer.
