A pass is defined as one trip of the roller in one direction over any one spot. Some pavements may be disintegrated so badly that the fragments may have to be removed. }szvn?w -L7C#qV_?[tp}Ts E[3M;oW|90}!v$z3* It is generally the responsibility of the Engineer to outline the scope of the project and to discuss the information provided in the contract documents. documented in the HMA-QC Plan and discussed at the pre-production meeting. The slat conveyors in the bottom of the hopper should not be visible when the wings are emptied. As the first load of mixture is being spread, the texture of the unrolled surface should be checked to determine uniformity. The paver speed has a major effect on the forces acting on the screed. Care must be taken to adjust the top of the cover to the slope of the planned finished roadway. ATSSA/NACE Low Cost Local Road Safety Solutions Each MDOT region has several Transportation Service Centers (TSCs) that are designed to respond to the transportation needs of local communities. The MDOT procedure used for selecting random core locations is by using a random number generating computer program. Did the paver have to stop and wait for trucks? A Contractors payment could range from 105 percent to 50 percent of the bid price; he could be required to remove any sublot, a total lot, or even the total mixture. 316 0 obj <<1cc850f8a7a5b5157c73556bf669a59d>]>>stream The gates move vertically, either manually or mechanically. This is helpful at lane tapers, crown corrections, or in areas of wedging. Unless otherwise noted, the patching and wedging work is done with the mixture that will be used for the leveling course. Public Notice of Metro Region Bridge Council Meeting for September 28, 2022 Individuals who are working around the paver are susceptible to being hit by passing traffic and have the potential to be hurt by the equipment being used in the paving operation. It can also be provided by the TMI. 1 0 obj In addition, the screed imparts a level of compaction with the vibratory action of the screed. If distortion of the base course occurs during the paving operation, the mixture placement should be stopped until the condition of the base course is corrected. The distance between the end of the auger extension and the end gate should be about 12 inches. Do all trucks have working backup warning systems? Improper adjustments of catch basins can create drainage problems, which will lead to early deterioration of the roadway. x[@P EsB$B%4!alkfYQNw9r%Oyzo&L1gk6l Every haul truck should be equipped with a tarpaulin, which can be employed as needed to protect the mix in case of inclement weather. The tractor unit provides the motive power to the paver and to transfer the mixture from the receiving hopper on the front of the paver to the spreading augers at the back of the paver. When the paver stops, do it as fast as possible. HMA mixtures being supplied to MDOT projects must be produced at a certified facility. Once the mix from the second paver is placed against the uncompacted edge, the rollers behind the second paver will densify the joint area. Most of our manuals, publications, and forms are available online. The paver should be started slowly, pick up the truck, and brought back to the preselected paving speed as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Fuel oil is not permitted for use on tapered joint rollers and mobile mat reference wheels. Material from the existing surface is milled out to a depth as shown on the plans, or equal to the top course, across the entire width of the joint and to a length of 35 feet minimum. This leveling device is attached to the tractor unit at only one point on each side of the paver; it is able to float on the asphalt mixture and to provide initial mat texture and compaction to the material as it passes under it. 115 0 obj <<4c7790beb010dcdd18f2ce7848bb2f38>]>>stream The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is responsible for Michigans nearly 10,000-mile state highway system, comprised of all M, I, and US-routes. That is why MDOT offers many ways to help ease the stress of commuting by providing information that commuters want and need as they make daily travel decisions. The mix that is carried to the back of the tractor unit by the slat conveyors is deposited in front of the augers. Whenever a rigid screed extension is employed on the basic screed, auger extensions and the accompanying auger tunnel extensions should also be added. Intermittent operation of the slat conveyors and auger system could cause both auger shadows and ripples in the mat behind the screed. A pre-production meeting should be held before work commences on a project. Mixture types to be used and the sampling and testing procedures vary depending on the specifications used. Depending upon the gate settings, more or less mixture is permitted to enter the tunnel. In general, the vibrators should be used near the maximum possible frequency. Another type of grade referencing device is the joint matching shoe. The density obtained by the paver screed is also a function of the speed of the paver. Clear responsibility for maintenance of all traffic control devices, such as signs, pavement markings and flagging, should also be defined. In Michigan, there are three publicly-owned and operated bridges: Mackinac Bridge, Blue Water Bridge, and International Bridge. These trucks are loaded in the same manner directly from the silo at the plant. Trying to reconstruct events at a later time without written notes and complete test data is usually frustrating and often results in conflicting opinions as to exactly what happened. FY 2024 Time of Return (TOR) spreadsheet This procedure will minimize the change in forces acting on the screed and will result in a near-constant mat thickness. Fat spots can be caused by high moisture in the mixture; if the mixture is very hot, asphalt could run down to the bottom of the truck during transport and cause fat spots when dumped into the paver. Can speed be locked in on vibratory rollers? Large enough to cover the top of the load and extend over sides and tailgate. No paving shall occur using RAP from the project until a mix design is approved. A surface that has been milled typically is very dusty and dirty. These adjustments are based upon the mixture acceptance test results and the pavement in-place density, and are explained in the contract special provisions. Slow and steady is the key to good vibratory compaction procedures. HMA mixtures consist of a blend of asphalt binder and aggregates mixed in an asphalt plant. The substitution of another HMA mixture type other than the recommended mixture is acceptable if it has demonstrated to perform under similar traffic conditions. R1-6 Gateway Treatment If the millings have aggregates larger than what is required for the mix design, it should be processed (crushed and/or screened) prior to stockpiling*. 111 0 obj <>stream This checklist may be placed in the project files.

Hand raking and shaping around the cover must be completed before the material cools. Contract Administration and Oversight Guidelines for Projects Containing Warranty Work Email this Page Contents 1 All Projects 2 Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Paving Projects 3 Concrete Paving Projects 4 Capital Preventive Maintenance (CPM) Surface Seal Projects 5 Documentation and Notifications All Projects For relatively thin layers of mix, generally less than 1-1/2 inch, the vibratory roller should typically be operated in the static mode. 310 0 obj <> endobj 312 0 obj <>>>/Contents 313 0 R/StructParents 0/Tabs/S/CropBox[ 0 0 612 792]/Rotate 0>> endobj 313 0 obj <>stream The grade sensor usually rides directly on the beam at its midpoint. This device consists of a short 12 inch shoe or ski that is used to reference the grade of an adjacent piece of pavement or curb. This certification includes the approval of the field laboratory used for acceptance testing, the Contractors quality control plans (which should be available at the plant) and other plant operational requirements. The old saying Safety is Everyones Business is certainly true on an HMA paving project. Adequate hand tools, and proper equipment for cleaning and heating them, should be available for the paving operation. The Contractor will use several types of rollers and each type is used for different purposes. This page was last edited on 13 January 2022, at 11:41. If the automatic controls are being used, the screed operator should not try to change the screed manually by turning the thickness control crank. 2023 Streamlined Systemic HSIP Selection List This type of roller must be equipped with a skirt around the bottom of the roller and within 3 inches of the new surface. These are notes from meetings between MDOT SHA and industry about improving the quality of materials used on State highways. A bond coat is an application of an asphaltic emulsion to an existing surface as a bond or tack coat ensuring adhesion with the overlying surface and preventing displacement ahead of the roller. Bond coats may be considered cured when your shoes tend to stick without picking up material when walking over it. When constructing the first lane, a string line should be employed to guide the paver operator to establish a uniform edge. Failure to do so will jeopardize full federal-aid participation. MaineDOT Best Management Practices for Erosion & Sedimentation Control ( 3/27/2008 update) MaineDOT Construction Manual MaineDOT Elation System Users Manual ( 1/1/2021 update) MaineDOT Maintenance Fast-dry Water-Based Traffic Paint ( 3/23/2016 update) Standard Details Book & Updates ( 7/8/2022 update) The Contractors representative should be familiar with the project and be able to speak with authority about what is to be accomplished. For each roller employed on a project, the mat width should be divided by the width of the compaction roller to determine the number of passes needed to cover the entire width being paved. Please update to a modern browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Edge to experience all features Michigan.gov has to offer. In the event that an inspection is not completed prior to the expiration of the warranty, it is the departments responsibility to ensure that the inspection still takes place; however, this inspection should be completed only with MDOT forces. A notch of up to 1 inch shall be placed at the top of the taper when placing HMA. Materials Projects constructed under a warranty special provision still require inspection staffing and complete documentation prior to payment, including MDOT materials certifications, MDOT yield checks, MDOT quantity measurement, and MDOT Inspectors Daily Reports. See Figure 502-5 for paver speed based on yield and plant production rates. Certifications are good for one construction season only. Rough, uneven surfaces should be leveled. Refer to Figure 502-9. 2.5 HMA or WMA, HT (19 mm MIXTURE) Polymer Modified (1 @ 2.5) 3 HMA or WMA, HT (19 mm MIXTURE) (1 @ 3) 6 Lime Fly Ash Treated Granular Material (9/C) 13.5 Structure Thickness 6 Chemically Treated Subgrade 7 Shoulder Granular Material (5/C) Multiple lifts of 9.5 mm HMA/WMA should be avoided. It is the backbone of Michigans 120,000-mile highway, road and street network. Public Notice of Southwest Region Bridge Council Meeting for October 5, 2022 The inspector should ensure that the Contractor is not causing damage to the mat during the compaction process, such as heat checking or cracking stone (white surface appearance). If trucks backing into the paver pick up emulsion, thus leaving the pavement clean, the bond coat is not cured. A diagnostic guide is included here to help in identifying the cause and fix for a range of segregation problems. At MDOT, we want to ensure your voice is not only heard, but makes a difference in moving Michigan forward. Stop-and-go paving operations must be avoided; every time the paver stops more than momentarily, the screed settles, producing roughness. The degree of preparation depends upon the condition of the existing surface. FY 2024 Safety (HSIP and HRRR) Call Letter These tasks include: In the past, special provisions 03SP602A and 03SP602E delegated certain aspects of project oversight to the contractor. If a good bond is not formed between the existing surface and the new overlay, a slippage, or sliding-type, failure can easily occur. A superstructure that spans the screed and auger areas ties the two together and supports the grade sensor. MswPXLDbtLFiSdu)#PBWgJ \HNs"jpT_,6u*S;T9AE=V-"1!. The HMA mixture used for patching should be the top course mixture called for on the plans, or in the proposal. x]Y#7~o_4vnuIU$Kno# JA~$#xn_>onbN~_oy{fqq\O{O|[oo*$uYuCjU Tdx&oNO#7/%nR~&OoJjO?}OfS1yr?} gsysx) Some old surfaces may need to be leveled or smoothed before the new surface is placed.

Common Safety Countermeasures for Local Agencies for Peds and Bikes The trucks should not be loaded by slowly driving forward while the mix is being delivered from the silo. All mixtures specified for a project must have an approved mixture design before mix production can proceed. Document the completion of paving courses on lots/sublots of HMA paving material during the day. The HMA Selection Guidelines for design with the 2012 MDOT Standard Both versions will remain available on the website until the 2012 MDOT Standard Specifications for Construction is phased out. This equipment must be safe, environmentally acceptable and capable of producing a specification product. Emptying the paver wings when the hopper is empty. Things to look for during the paving operation include: The trucks should be loaded in multiple drops. For asphalt mixes, it can be expected that about 70 percent to 80 percent of the theoretical maximum density may be obtained as the mixture passes under the screed. The Office of Procurement and Contract Management (OPCM) Consultant Services Division (CSD) procures all Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) A/E contracts using Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS), as defined in Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Title 21, Subtitle 12, "Procurement of Architectural Services and Engineering Services" and 23 CFR . Trucks should stop short of the paver and be picked up by the paver. Hot Mix Asphalt Selection Guidelines Revised: 03/10/2020 FHWA Approved: 05/07/2020 The following guidelines have been developed at the request of Local Agency Engineers for use on Local Agency projects.
