Staff oversight should be at a level to assure compliance with contract specifications and to properly assure the quality of the constructed work. Common Safety Countermeasures for Local Agencies for Peds and Bikes In addition, a RAP scalper screen is required**. This requires the level of mix in the hopper to be kept at least even with the bottom of the flow gates. After coring is completed, the inspector should check the layer thickness for conformance to the standard specifications. This requires that the supervisory personnel define the tasks, authority and responsibilities of each of the key individuals to be involved in the work. Consultant Selection It is also used in Mexico. 2023 HSIP Selection List 2P3G(30120&gp9@. The distance between the end of the auger extension and the end gate should be about 12 inches. MDOT's Highway Programs focus on the development and management of the department's roadsides, environmental efforts and policies, and federal-aid highway information. Bond coat material must be applied with an approved distributor with a uniform spray. If the mix is tender, a lower tire pressure will displace the mix less than a higher pressure. The United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) DBE size cap found at 49 C.F.R. The length of the auger extensions should, in general, be the same length as the screed extensions. 26.65 (b) is still subject to the 3-year gross receipts average. It is good practice to keep the speed of the paver as constant as possible during the paving operations. At MDOT, safety is paramount. It is important that the individuals in daily charge of the project for both MDOT and the Contractor meet periodically, both on a formal and informal basis, to discuss the progress and quality of the work done to date and the progress schedule for the future. Do all trucks have working backup warning systems? 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. This arrangement can sense and correct any change in screed elevation. These are notes from meetings between MDOT SHA and industry about improving the quality of materials used on State highways. Vegetation and debris should be removed from joints and cracks. Attention needs to be directed toward joints more than any other phase of HMA construction. Are the vibrators on the screed operating properly? Once the Contractor has finished the rolling operation, the inspector will identify the locations where the density cores will be taken; these locations are randomly selected both longitudinally and transversely. The temperature of the mix must be kept uniform so that the viscosity of the mix does not change and influence the balance of forces acting on the screed. If a hydraulically extendable screed is being used with the paver, the crown can be introduced in the center of the main screed and also at the points between the main screed and the hydraulic extensions. Ensure existing surface failures are repaired properly. These guidelines will be incorporated into the next version of the HMA Production Manual. Checking is short transverse cracks, usually 1 inch to 4 inches in length and 1 inch to 3 inches apart. This process is typically used for superelevation corrections, placing a wedging course so that the leveling and top courses can be placed at a uniform thickness. Cutoff shoes can be used, if necessary, to reduce the width of mixture being placed to a width that is less than the basic main screed width. The rollers behind the first paver should stay 1 foot away from the free edge toward the second paver. It is very important to know what special provisions are contained in the proposal. The contractor must demonstrate that additional screens are installed on the RAP feed system to ensure that the RAP being introduced into the HMA mixture contains no aggregate larger than the top size aggregate allowed in the mix design. Rollers can also be a combination of both pneumatic and steel wheel.

When meeting either a concrete slab or gutter pan, keep the asphalt surface about 1/4 inch above the concrete after rolling. Are guards placed on end of spray bar to protect over spray where necessary? 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 spans from northern Canada to Mexico near the equator. Once this has been done, complete the rolling of the joint. For the floating screed principle to work properly, it is important that the pull points on both sides of the tractor be at the same level above the ground. When constructing the first lane, a string line should be employed to guide the paver operator to establish a uniform edge. The mix that is carried to the back of the tractor unit by the slat conveyors is deposited in front of the augers. All nozzles on the distributor should be open and functioning. %PDF-1.7 % There should be enough trucks to provide a continuous flow of mix to the paver. The asphalt cement delivery system must be calibrated. No raking of the joint is needed. All traffic must be kept off of the bond coat until it is cured. FY 2013 Before and After Crash Study FY 2022 Project Planning Guide Material Quality - Resources; Material Quality Partnering Meetings. This includes, at a minimum, staff oversight at a level to perform periodic on-site inspections. x\YoF~A4 M!"Gcy-3_}TA(z #*v}Ow>~_c~y}On}]mvy}Rc*UQ]n/?]v./8:~o?Q`Sv;WE]f_MAuOF}@,c?uQUYcmEEPuB',~WMQsE$XF-,V-g6mMa%[+ndv6>%T&G/fQx&[0{Rm z5WB3^sha!QBk`LB#D1V'iuZtDW}} . The Office of Communications works with the media to inform the public of MDOT's mission, policies and practices in a positive, consistent and credible manner. The department also produces numerous geographic information system maps to assist commuters, tourists, and businesses. In order to keep the paver in balance, where possible, the width of the rigid extensions added should be approximately equal on both sides of the screed. Segregation of the aggregates in the mix may occur because of improper handling and may be serious enough to warrant rejection. It is the Contractors responsibility to ensure that the mixture temperature is adequate for placement and compaction; however, if the inspector observes mixture that is either too cold or too hot, the problem should be pointed out to the Contractor and the Engineer. There are two basic types of asphalt mixing plants. 4 0 obj When one truck is emptied, it should pull away from the paver. Public Notice of Grand Region Bridge Council Meeting for October 10, 2022 Roller passes must be distributed uniformly over the width and length of the area being compacted. Does the paver have reverse pitch augers or paddles at center of paver? The substitution of another HMA mixture type other than the recommended mixture is acceptable if it has demonstrated to perform under similar traffic conditions. It is very important that proper air pressure be maintained in all tires. The gross weight of the roller can be altered by adding ballast water to the roller drums. Intermittent operation of the slat conveyors and auger system could cause both auger shadows and ripples in the mat behind the screed. MDOT's commissions, councils, task forces, and partnerships are responsible for establishing policies, supervising programs, overseeing state and federal funds, providing recommendations and advisement, and acting as a resource. Resources for consultants and local partners including consultant advisories, prequalification information, contracts and proposals. Slick, highly polished surfaces, potholes, old patches, cracks and joints may require repairs. The name of the individual responsible for safety for the Contractor should be provided to MDOT so that rapid and clear communications can be accomplished if safety problems occur. This document replaces the previous edition of the guidance, published in 2009. This checklist may be placed in the project files. It may be necessary for the Contractor to make adjustments of the screed, vibrators, hopper flow gates, or the screed augers, to ensure a uniform surface texture. The augers must be extended if the screed is extended. What number and type of rollers were used? The sides, or wings, of the hopper are movable. No paving shall occur using RAP from the project until a mix design is approved. Be in good condition with no holes or tears. 3 0 obj A fast means of communication should be established between the plant and the paving crew so that any changes to the mixture can be promptly communicated. Public Notice of North Region Bridge Council Meeting for September 22, 2022 80 to 150 m 3 /h The tractor unit receives the asphalt mixture from the haul trucks, carries that mixture back to the spreading augers, distributes the mixture across the width of the screed and pulls the screed over that mixture. Too Hot: Blue smoke rising from the mix usually indicates an overheated truckload. The initial acceptance form, contained in the contract documents, is to be filled out when the warrantied work has been completed and accepted. Some pavers may be equipped with augers that extend automatically as the screed is extended. If a conversation is held with other project personnel concerning project activity, the date and location of the conversation should be recorded. As the first load of mixture is being spread, the texture of the unrolled surface should be checked to determine uniformity. The paver should be brought from paving speed to a stop as quickly and as smoothly as possible without jerking the paver. Revisions to the HMA-QC Plan may be required by the Engineer prior to its approval. The HMA mixture used for patching should be the top course mixture called for on the plans, or in the proposal. These adjustments are based upon the mixture acceptance test results and the pavement in-place density, and are explained in the contract special provisions. endstream endobj Most of our manuals, publications, and forms are available online. If the volume of the mix in front of the screed falls below the desired amount, the feed sensor will engage the slat conveyors and auger system, pulling more mix back to the screed area. Custom boutique photography for newborns, children, families, seniors, and weddings The office is responsible for media relations, social media, and website development. The haul trucks and all paving personnel must keep away from the line and not disturb it in any way. icPUBJ FP rM4"d_`Sx".HCaM;)v}khmqj*KDRu`JK*l*fiEpg[`+H9g@ Ct)L;9BnLjvJdQP7BHD#},i-7D4lPNy`B_]Z)Hg BWPl!3I8"#wQjBANtNV #P9!#)C6.q]BX9#mCw Contract Plans Specify 165 pounds/square yard. There are many common myths and misconceptions about transportation in Michigan. Engineering Week videos and lesson plans are all-inclusive resources to show early elementary to high school students the career of civil engineering at MDOT. This article returns the responsibility for these tasks to MDOT for all HMA paving projects, including those that contain special provisions 03SP502D and/or 03SP502E. This unit is responsible for the development of statewide processes for the implementation of all required state and federal regulations as it relates to local agencies. Very short waves, or a washboard effect, can be caused by improper operation of the vibratory roller. See Figure 502-5 for paver speed based on yield and plant production rates. Keep the level of mix in the hopper above the flow gates. It may be bubbling or popping as if it were boiling. If the end of the lane is to be left open overnight, a ramp joint should be used. Nonuniform mixing shows up as spots of lean, brown, and dull appearing material within areas of rich and shiny appearance. At MDOT, we want to ensure your voice is not only heard, but makes a difference in moving Michigan forward. A scalping screen should be placed in the aggregate cold feed charging system and the RAP feed system to remove any oversize material. If two pavers running in echelon are used, the construction of the joint is similar to the building of a joint against a cold compacted pavement. All nozzles should be turned at the same angle to the spray bar: approximately 30 degrees, depending upon the manufacturers recommendations. 30 to 120 m 3 /h; EBA Mobile plant for medium productions. As the layer thickness increases, it may help to increase the amplitude applied to the mix as recommended by the manufacturer. % This dryer heats the aggregate to the desired temperature and delivers the material to the hot bins in the tower unit. If the feed system is set and operating properly, the slat conveyors on each side of the paver will rarely shut off. Too Cold: A generally stiff appearance, or improper coating of the larger aggregate particles, indicates a cold mixture. The uniform application of the emulsion is a function of the asphalt distributor and the skill of the operator. R1-6 Gateway Treatment The first yield check should be made as soon as the Contractor has completed all paver adjustments. DZs}9{,dp ^E3 `E%)eNDL-F1>tcf^cs\3WCwn}YI.kaz1r LX[t6*4u*QEI^:RG3iiv=I ->6{mU=CKGuK'b Following is a list of things that can cause a rough riding surface: A special provision for pavement ride quality measurement is included in many paving contracts. The amount bid for HMA may be adjusted. 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. If automation is required, ensure its on and working. 30 to 70m 3 /h; EMA Compact plant, perfect for prefabricated. Steam rising from the mix as it is dumped into the hopper of the spreader indicates moisture in the mix. When the inspector sees an improper bond coat application, the operation should be stopped. If the surface of the mat is cooling much faster than the mixture under it, the surface will check as the hot mix is compacted. Shoulder samples shall be taken if RAP from shoulder is to be used. Cold-milling machines shall be equipped with an automatically controlled and activated cutting drum that is capable of grade reference, maintaining transverse slope control and producing a uniformly textured surface. The TRAC Internship is an extension of the TRAC Program and is designed to provide opportunities for 12th grade students interested in transportation and engineering careers. The tiers identified below apply to Superpave The document has moved here. This requires a HMA layer of varying thickness to be placed and is referred to as wedging. When a change in one force occurs, the screed will rise or fall and will change the thickness of the mat being placed. A mean average is thus obtained over the entire span. A release agent may be applied to the surfaces of the truck or trailer bed. Several different organizations publish short, concise safety presentations that can be completed in two to three minutes. Job mix formula adjustments, retroactive. The subject of joints includes longitudinal joints and transverse joints, as well as the matched joint between an asphalt surface and a concrete pavement, or gutter pan. Further, whenever rigid extensions are employed, the strike off, or pre-strike off, assembly must be added to the extension and set at the same location as the strike off on the main screed. The purpose of the shoes is to allow one or more of them to pass over a high or low point in the existing surface without altering the slope of the whole beam. Since there are 5280 feet in the sublot, pick two numbers using the random number generating calculator, which are then multiplied by 5280. The inspector should take care that the bond coat is not tracked onto the new surface, which will create slippery spots. One make of paver, however, is equipped with a power extendable screed that places the extendable portion of the screed in front of the main screed. Excess Moisture. The Bureau of Transportation Planning develops and implements a comprehensive transportation planning process which results in investments that are consistent with the policies of the State Transportation Commission. Public Notice of Southwest Region Bridge Council Meeting for October 5, 2022 Pressure distributors are used to apply a uniform application of the asphalt emulsions, normally referred to as the tack or bond coat. The screed should be raised and the bottom surface checked for smoothness, twisting, and excessive wear. One of the most important considerations in making a longitudinal joint is keeping the paver on a straight line of travel. This information helps the department identify congested areas, when congestion occurs and how often, cause of delay, and more. Rakes, shovels and lutes are frequently used by personnel around the paver. The frequency of vibration is controlled by the rotary speed of the vibrator shaft. Old patches that show signs of instability, areas with excess asphalt, or excess crack filler, and areas with loose material should be removed and repaired. At the bottom of the paver hopper is a set of slat conveyors. This is caused by an improperly adjusted screed angle of attack. At the time of the periodic on-site inspection, complete the following tasks: In addition, do not make payment until the measured quantities are checked for correlation to the contractors submitted material certifications/tickets and yield calculations. An asphalt mix that has all the desirable mix design characteristics will perform poorly, if not compacted to the proper density. Each MDOT region has several Transportation Service Centers (TSCs) that are designed to respond to the transportation needs of local communities. Public Notice of Bay Region Bridge Council Meeting for October 3, 2022 The three essential requirements of a bond coat are: Excess bond coat may create a slip plane between courses, bleed into the overlaying course and cause flushing. endobj FY 2024 Webinar Recording Are the king bolts in good condition on steel wheeled rollers? Joints in PCC pavement should be cleaned. Joints that are poorly sealed should have the old seal material removed and the joints cleaned. Typically, the string is supported on metal posts at 25 foot intervals. These tools include rakes, shovels, lutes, 10 foot straightedge, carpenters level and blocks and shims for supporting the screed of the paver when beginning operations at a butt joint. Resources regarding MDOT's contracting processes, including contractor prequalification, bid letting, contract awards, and contractor payments. x[@P EsB$B%4!alkfYQNw9r%Oyzo&L1gk6l Aggregate of different sizes should be stockpiled separate from one another. Document when immediate possession of the extracted cores occurs (core ID, date, time, etc.). Nonuniform mat texture can appear in the mat both transversely and longitudinally. Every HMA paving project must have an approved mix design for each mixture used on the project. These guidelines provide for the selection of Hot Mixed Asphalt (HMA) and application rates utilizing the Superpave mix design system along with the Marshall Mix design system. 115 0 obj <<4c7790beb010dcdd18f2ce7848bb2f38>]>>stream If the wedging course is 3 inches or less, the inspector should string line the area to be wedged to determine the limits of wedging. Road Safety Audit The paver speed has a major effect on the forces acting on the screed. Resources for truckers regarding necessary rules, guidelines, restrictions, and permits, needed to safely transport goods throughout Michigan. Equipped with automatic grade and slope controls, the milling machine is capable of producing a level surface in one pass over the existing pavement. The inspector may use the following checklist to record the condition of equipment. Common Safety Countermeasures for Local Agencies for Segments and Intersections Mixture types to be used and the sampling and testing procedures vary depending on the specifications used. Slow and steady is the key to good vibratory compaction procedures. Finally, the difference in the alignment of the two screeds can cause a difference in the degree of compaction that is obtained from the screed. Ride Specification provides guidance to using the Pavement Surface Profile. Forms Do extensions have approved method of heating? This page was last edited on 13 January 2022, at 11:41. The tapered longitudinal joint shall be constructed by tapering the HMA mat; the taper shall have a 1 to 12 rise and the taper shall extend beyond the normal lane width. The screed of the second paver must be set at the same level as the screed of the first paver; this will prevent the screed of the second paver from dragging on the mix placed by the first paver. Placing the mat too thin based upon the aggregate size. MDOT should not rely on the contractors daily report for quantities or as a replacement for the MDOT Inspectors Daily Report. Is the automation ski of proper length 30 feet +/- for all courses except last pass top course? 2023 Streamlined Systemic HSIP Selection List 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. FY 2023 Project Planning Guide It is the Contractors responsibility to provide quality control necessary to produce the mixture uniformly, within the limits specified in 20SP501(R) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) or 20SP501(S) Superpave Hot Mix Asphalt Percent Within Limits (PWL) For Capital Preventive Maintenance (CPM) Mill & Resurface Projects and CPM One Course Overlay Projects. The flow gates should be adjusted to provide a uniform head of material in front of the screed. The hitch is controlled by the paver operator. Ensure sufficient compaction capacity is available. In Michigan, there are three publicly-owned and operated bridges: Mackinac Bridge, Blue Water Bridge, and International Bridge. This report include report of all producer's topsoil material that meet the Section 920 Specification requirements as Landscaping material. This skirt will help keep the tires hot by holding the heat from the mix under the roller. This minimum rate should also be used between courses as a tack coat. The other type adds the asphalt cement and RAP in a separate mixing chamber out of direct contact with the burner flame. It shall be capable of maintaining the asphalt emulsion at the specified temperature. Trucks should stop short of the paver and be picked up by the paver. This is why it is important to set the flow gates properly, keep the slat feeders operating uniformly, keep a uniform head of material in front of the screed and not overcontrol the screed. Communication is one of the keys to a safe work environment. The Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students interested in civil engineering and construction management careers, valuable experience by working with professional field staff. Some pavements may be disintegrated so badly that the fragments may have to be removed. Forms NEPA Guidance Non-biodegradable agents that dissolve the HMA mixture, such as fuel oil, shall not be used at the paving site. Qualification of the material sampling technicians should be a pre-production meeting agenda item. Ensure the bond coat has been applied uniformly at the proper yield. It is important for the screed extension to be attached securely to the main screed. The first is the frequency of vibration and the second is the amplitude of the compactive effort. Breakdowns and bad weather can create problems with large areas of bond coat that are left unsurfaced. This equipment should be thoroughly checked before using it on the project. Communication cannot stop once the pre-production meeting is concluded. Transportation Grant Programs, Letting Process, Local vs. MDOT for Enhancement Projects, Heidi Spangler, Safety Engineer, 517-230-4605, FY 2024 Local Safety Program Applications Received The aggregate stockpiles should be built on a clean, dry and stable foundation, with positive drainage.
