Type II Microsurfacing

Technical Specifications

1.0 Scope: This specification covers materials, equipment, construction and application procedures

for micro surfacing and rut filling of paved surfaces where applicable.

2.0 Description Micro Surfacing is a mixture of polymer modified asphalt emulsion, mineral aggregate,

mineral filler, water and other additives, properly proportioned, mixed and spread on a paved surface in

accordance with specification and as directed by the engineer.

Micro Surfacing should be capable of being spread in variable thickness applications with cross sections

such as wedges, ruts, scratch courses and variable depth surfaces which, after curing and initial traffic

consolidation, resists compaction throughout the entire design tolerance range of bitumen content and

variable thickness to be encountered. The end product should maintain a skid-resistant surface (high

wet friction co-efficient) in variable thick sections throughout the service life of the Micro Surfacing.

3.0 Materials

3.1 Aggregate: The aggregate used in Micro-Surfacing shall meet the requirements of GDOT Standard Specifications Subsection 802.01 with the exceptions that it shall be manufactured from Group II, Class A or B crushed stone or slag, and the Sand Equivalent Value shall not be less than 65 when tested in accordance with AASHTO T- 176.

3.2 Testing: When tested according to the following tests, the aggregate should meet these

minimum requirements:

3.3 Gradation: When tested in accordance with AASHTO T27 (ASTM C-136) and AASHTO

T11 (ASTM C117), the target (mix design) aggregate gradation (including the mineral) filler

shall be within one of the following bands (or currently recognized by your local paving

authority).

TYPE II

SEIVE PERCENT STOCKPILE

SIZE PASSING TOLERANCE

3/8 (9.5mm) 100 +/- 0%

#4 (4.75mm) 60-95 +/- 6%

#8 (2.36mm) 45-75 +/- 5%

#50 (330um) 15-35 +/- 4%

#200 (75um) 5-15 +/- 3%

The job mix (gradation) shall be within the gradation band for the desired type. After the target

gradation has been submitted (this should be the gradation that the mix design is based on),

then the percent passing each sieve shall not be more than the stockpile tolerance shown in the

above table for each individual sieve, and still remain within the gradation band. It is

recommended that the percent passing shall not go from the high end to the low end of the

range for any two consecutive screens. Contractor shall provide certification from the aggregate

supplier that the material meets the gradation provided in the mix design. If quarry supplying

aggregate is not able to meet the above gradation, a suitable screening plant may be used on

the job staging site to further size the material to its specified size.

4.1 Emulsified Asphalt:

4.11 General: The emulsified asphalt shall be a quick-traffic, polymer-modified asphalt

conforming to the requirements specified in AASHTO M 208 or ASTM 2397 for CSS-1h. The

polymer modifier shall be determined by the mix design. Preference may be given to a local

emulsion supplier versus an out of state supplier. The minimum amount required will be based

on asphalt weight content and will be certified by the emulsion supplier. In general, a three

percent (3%) polymer solids, based on asphalt weight, is considered minimum. The five-day (5)

settlement test may be waived, provided job stored emulsion is used within thirty-six (36) hours

from the time of the shipment, or the stored material has had additional emulsion blended into

it prior to use. Emulsion manufacturer will provide written certification that they have

manufactured engineered asphalt emulsions for slurry and microsurfacing projects for a

minimum of three (3) years in the respective state that the work is being let.

4.1.2 Testing: When testing according to the following tests, the emulsion shall meet the

requirements of AASHTO M 208 or ASTM 2397 for CSS 1-h, plus the following:

AASHTO TEST NO. ASTM TEST NO. QUALITY SPECIFICATION

AASHTO T 59 ASTM 244 Distillation 62% minimum

The temperature for this test should be held below 280 degrees F. Higher temperatures may

cause the polymers to break down.

4.1.3 Mineral Filler: If required, mineral filler shall be any recognized brand of non-air entrained

Portland cement of hydrated lime that is free from lumps. The mineral filler that is used may be

accepted upon visual inspection. Typically the mineral filler will be a bagged product.

4.1.4 Water: The water shall be potable and free of deleterious material, harmful soluble salts,

reactive chemicals or any other types of contaminants. It shall be the contractor’s duty to

secure a source of water for the project and not up to the bidding agency to provide.

4.1.5: Additives: Additives may be added to the asphalt emulsion mix or any of the component

materials to provide finite control over the set time of the micro surfacing mixture as it relates

to vehicular trafficking times after the mix has been placed on the road.

5.0 Mix Design

5.1 General: Seven (7) days before the work commences, the contractor shall submit a proper

mix design covering the specific materials to be used on the project and the test results from the

tests listed in Table 1. The design will be performed by a laboratory which has experience

designing micro surfacing and slurry mixes.

5.2 Testing: Compatibility of the aggregate, polymer modified emulsion, mineral filler and other

additives shall be verified by the emulsion manufacturer. The mix design shall be made with the

same aggregate gradation with the rock material from the chosen quarry supply location that

the contractor proposes to use on the job and meet the requirements in table 1

mixing machine, which shall be a continuous flow mixing unit able to accurately deliver and

proportion the aggregate, emulsified asphalt, mineral filler, control setting additive and water to

a revolving multi blade, double shafted mixer and to discharge the mixed product on a

continuous flow basis. The machine shall have sufficient storage capacity for aggregate,

emulsified asphalt, mineral filler, control additive and water to maintain an adequate supply to

the proportioning controls.

6.3 Proportioning Devices: Individual volume or weight controls for proportioning each

material to be added to the mix (i.e. aggregate, mineral filler, emulsified asphalt, additive and

water) shall be provided and properly marked. These proportioning devices are used in material

calibration and determining the material output at any time.

6.4 Spreading Equipment: The mixture shall be agitated and spread uniformly in the surfacing

box by means of twin shafted paddles or spiral augers fixed in the spreader box. A front seal

shall be provided to insure no loss of the mixture at the road contact point. The rear seal shall

act as a final strike off and shall be adjustable. The spreader box and rear strike off shall be so

designated and operated that a uniform consistency is achieved to produce a free flow of

material to the rear strike off. The spreader box shall have suitable means provided to side shift

the box to compensate for variations in the pavement geometry.

6.4.1 Secondary Strike Off: A secondary strike off shall be provided to improve surface

texture. The secondary strike off shall have the same adjustments as the spreader box.

6.4.2 Rut Filling Box: When requested on the plans, before the final surface course is

placed, preliminary micro surfacing material may be required to fill ruts, utility cuts,

depressions in the existing surface, etc. Ruts of one half (1/2”) or greater in depth shall

be filled independently with a rut filling spreader box, either five (5) foot or six (6) foot

in width. For irregular or shallow rutting of less than one half (1/2”) inch in depth, a full

width scratch coat pass may be used as directed by the engineer. Ruts that are in excess

of one and one half (1 ½”) in depth may require multiple placements with the rut filling

spreader box to restore the cross section. All rut filling level up material should cure

under traffic for at least a twenty four (24) hour period before additional material is

placed on top of the level up.

6.5 Auxiliary Equipment: Suitable surface preparation equipment, traffic control

equipment, hand tools and any other support and safety equipment shall be provided

machine metering devices. No machine will be allowed to work on the project until

calibration has been completed and/or accepted.

6.7 Weather Limitations: Micro surfacing shall not be applied if air temperature is

below fifty (50) degrees Fahrenheit and falling. No micro surfacing shall be applied at

anytime during a rain storm, or when there is a possibility that the finished product will

freeze within twenty four (24) hours. The mixture shall not be applied when weather

conditions prolong opening to traffic beyond a reasonable time.

7.0 Notification and Traffic Control

7.1 Notification: All homeowners and business affected by the construction shall be notified

one day in advance of the surfacing. Suitable signs shall be posted prior to the micro surfacing.

Should work not occur on the specified day, a new notification will be distributed to the

residents. The notification shall be in a form of a written posting, stating the time and date that

the surfacing will take place.

7.2 Traffic Control: All traffic control devices shall be in accordance with State and Federal

requirements and further, shall conform to the requirements of the Manual on Uniform Traffic

Control Devices. Suitable methods shall be used by the contractor to protect the micro

surfacing from damage from all types of vehicular traffic. Opening to traffic does not constitute

acceptance of the work. The engineer shall be notified of the methods to be used.

8.0 Surface Preparation

8.1 General: Immediately prior to applying the micro surfacing the surface shall be cleared of all

loose material, silt spots, vegetation, and other objectionable material. Any standard cleaning

method will be acceptable. If water is used, cracks shall be allowed to dry thoroughly before

applying micro surfacing. Manholes, valve boxes, drop inlets and other service entrances shall

be protected from the micro surfacing by a suitable method. The agency engineer shall approve

the surface preparation prior to the surfacing. No dry aggregate either spilled from the lay

down machine or existing on the road will be permitted.

9.0 Application

9.1 General: When required by local conditions, the surface shall be pre wetted by fogging

ahead of the spreader box. The rate of application of the fog spray shall be adjusted during the

day to suit ambient temperatures, surface textures, pavement temperatures, humidity and

overall dryness of the inset asphalt pavement.

The micro surfacing shall be of the desired consistency upon leaving the mixer. A sufficient

amount of material shall be carried in all parts of the spreader at all times so that a complete

coverage is obtained. Overloading of the spreader shall be avoided. No lumping, balling,

oversized or unmixed aggregate shall be permitted.

No streaks, such as those caused by oversized aggregate, shall be left in the finished surface. If

excess streaking develops, the job will be stopped until the contractor proves to the agency

engineer that the situation has been corrected.

9.2 Joints: No excess buildup, uncovered areas or unsightly appearance shall be permitted on

longitudinal or transverse joints. The contractor shall provide suitable width spreading

equipment to produce a minimum number of longitudinal joints throughout the project. Special

care should be taken during the layout stages of the work to ensure a minimum number of

joints. Half passes and odd width passes will be used only in minimal amounts. If half passes

are used they shall not be the last pass of any paved area. A maximum of three (3) inches shall

be allowed for overlap of the longitudinal joint lines. Also the joint shall have no more than a

one-fourth (1/2) inch difference in elevation when measured by placing a ten (10) foot straight

edge over the joint and measuring the drop off.

9.3 Mix Stability: The micro surfacing treatment shall possess sufficient stability so that the

premature breaking of the material in the spreader box does not occur. The mixture shall be

homogenous during and following the mixing and spreading. The mixture shall be free of excess

water or emulsion and free of segregation of the emulsion and aggregate fines from the coarser

aggregate. Under no circumstances shall water be sprayed directly into the lay down material

while laying micro surfacing.

9.4 Handwork: Areas which cannot be reached with the mixing machine shall be surfaced using

hand squeegees to provide complete and uniform coverage. If necessary, the area to be hand

worked shall be lightly dampened prior to mix placement. Care shall be exercised to leave no

unsightly appearance from handwork.

9.5 Lines: Care shall be taken to ensure straight lines along curbs and shoulders. No run off on

these areas will be permitted. Lines at intersections will be kept straight to provide a good

appearance. If necessary, a suitable material will be used to mask off the end of streets to

provide aesthetically pleasing straight lines. Edge lines shall not vary by more than +/- two (2)

inches of horizontal variance in any ninety six (96) linear feet.

9.6 Clean Up: All areas such as ADA ramps, concrete curbs, gutters and intersections not in the

contract shall have the micro surfacing mix removed as specified by the agency engineer. The

contractor shall on a daily basis remove any debris associated with the performance of the

work.

A. Description. This work shall consist preparing the surface, heating the pavement, applying

rejuvenating agent, mixing in heated drum mix plant, leveling, laying, and re-compacting the

pavement surface in accordance with these specifications and details shown on the plan.

B. Materials. The asphalt-rejuvenating agent shall be composed of petroleum resin oil base, with a

record of satisfactory service as an asphalt-rejuvenating agent. Satisfactory service is being based on

the capability of the material to increase the ductility, penetration and durability of the asphalt binder

in the recycled asphalt. A letter of compliance shall accompany each shipment delivered to the

project from the manufacturer that certifies the material conforms to the manufacturer specifications.

C. Equipment. The recycling equipment unit used for collecting the existing asphalt concrete together,

adding the new rejuvenating agent, mixing and paving the recycling mix in a continuous process shall

be self-contained, self-propelled unit designed for this purpose.

For the purpose of this contract, the self-containment requirement for the recycling unit shall mean

once the existing asphalt pavement is sheared, it remains contained in the recycling unit, and shall be

immediately mixed with the rejuvenating agent. The recycled asphalt pavement shall not be exposed

to atmospheric conditions except when placed for compaction.

The heating units shall be of sufficient capacity to heat the pavement material as necessary for

efficient processing, but be designed as to minimize the damage to the asphalt binder. The heating

system shall also have provisions for cooling the asphalt surface to 170 C (350F).

The recycling unit shall be capable of loosening the heated asphalt pavement to the specified depth in

a uniform pattern, loading existing asphalt and adding heated rejuvenator into a heated mixing plant

for a minimum of 30 seconds. The recycling unit shall then be capable of placing and leveling the

recycling asphalt pavement in a condition for immediate re-compaction. The rate of application of

the rejuvenating agent shall be adjustable to maintain the appropriate application rate in the relation

to the operating speed of the machine. Metering devices shall be incorporated into the distribution

systems for recording the quantities of asphalt rejuvenating agent. The mixing shall take place in a

heated rotating drum mix plant for at least 30 seconds in such a manner as to ensure complete

blending. The recycling unit shall also have an adjustable, heated, vibratory screed capable of

placing the mixture to the required cross-section, profile and alignment. Compaction equipment shall

meet these applicable requirements.

D. Weather Limitations. The minimum surface temperature shall be 40F and minimum air

temperature shall be 50F and rising.

E. Construction. The existing pavement shall be heated to allow for loosening of material without

excessive fracturing of the aggregate and allow for adequate re-compacting. The pavement is then

hot sheared to a nominal depth of 50 mm (2 inches) as measured by a depth probe behind the screed

on a finished, un-compacted surface with an average of 3 depth probe checks across the width of the

pavement.

Rejuvenator is applied in a uniform fashion and automated to the speed of the asphalt recycling

machine. It is then mixed for a minimum of 30 seconds. On-board asphalt plant temperature must be

maintained at a minimum of 300F in order to establish an environment for maximum blending and

coating. The newly recycled material shall be placed at the minimum temperature 225F at the

screed. Surface texture shall be uniform and consistent with no segregation or excessive asphalt

cement.

Temperature processing limits shall be established. Exposure of the existing pavement to

temperatures in excess of 350F shall be limited to furnace heat transfer areas only. When necessary,

methods of cooling the pavement surface temperature to below 350F must be employed outside of

the furnace condition.

Compaction shall be preformed in accordance with state and local specifications.

F. Traffic. Traffic shall not be allowed on the compacted pavement until it has cooled sufficiently to

prevent dislodging of the aggregate. Any areas, which are damaged by traffic, shall be repaired at no

additional cost, as directed by the Engineer.

G. Method of Measurement. The measured quantity of RE-HEAT Asphalt Surface Recycling

including surface preparation, heating, rejuvenating, mixing and compacting shall be the actual

number of square yards completed and accepted.
