2.5.4.1 Equipment:<br />

The primer distribu<strong>to</strong>r shall be equipped for spraying the m<strong>at</strong>erial uniformly <strong>at</strong> the<br />

specified r<strong>at</strong>es and temper<strong>at</strong>ures.<br />

2.5.4.2 Prepar<strong>at</strong>ion of road surface:<br />

The surface <strong>to</strong> be primed shall be swept clean, free from dust and shall be dry. It shall be<br />

shapes <strong>to</strong> the specified grades and section. It shall also be free from cuts, any other<br />

irregularities and segreg<strong>at</strong>e m<strong>at</strong>erials. Minor depressions and pot holes may be ignored until<br />

the surface is primed, after which they shall be p<strong>at</strong>ched with a suitable premix m<strong>at</strong>erial<br />

prior <strong>to</strong> the surface tre<strong>at</strong>ment.<br />

2.5.4.3. Applic<strong>at</strong>ion of bituminous primer:<br />

The bituminous primer shall be sprayed/distributed uniformly over the dry surface as per<br />

Clause 2.5.4.2 using either self propelled or <strong>to</strong>wed pressure sprayer with self he<strong>at</strong>ing<br />

arrangement and spraying nozzle capable of spraying primer <strong>at</strong> a specified r<strong>at</strong>es and<br />

temper<strong>at</strong>ure so as <strong>to</strong> provide a uniformly unbroken spread of primer. The primer shall<br />

be applied <strong>at</strong> the r<strong>at</strong>e as specified in Table No.10.<br />

TABLE 10<br />

QUANTITY OF BITUMINOUS PRIMERS<br />

GRADE OF PRIMER QUANTITY PER 10 SQM IN KGs.<br />

Primer for surfaces of low porosity 7.3 <strong>to</strong> 9.8<br />

Primer for surfaces of medium porosity 9.8 <strong>to</strong> 12.2<br />

Primer for surfaces of high porosity 12.2 <strong>to</strong> 14.6<br />

Temper<strong>at</strong>ure of applic<strong>at</strong>ion of a primer need only be high enough <strong>to</strong> permit the primer <strong>to</strong><br />

be effectively sprayed through the jets of the spray bar and <strong>to</strong> cover the granular base<br />

surface uniformly.<br />

The temper<strong>at</strong>ure of the bituminous cut back primer <strong>at</strong> the time of applic<strong>at</strong>ion may vary<br />

from 40oC <strong>to</strong> 80oC and th<strong>at</strong> of bitumen emulsion between 10oC <strong>to</strong> 60oC. The quantity of<br />

primer as given in Table 10 can vary + 1.5 Kg. as directed by Engineer where specifically<br />

required.<br />

Any pools of excess primer left on any part of the surface should be swept out over the<br />

adjacent surface and then a light spreading of sand or s<strong>to</strong>ne grit shall be applied.<br />

The primer co<strong>at</strong> shall be applied only on the <strong>to</strong>p most w<strong>at</strong>er bound macadam or any<br />

granular layer, over which the bituminous base course/wearing course is <strong>to</strong> be laid.<br />

2.5.4.4. Curing of primer and opening <strong>to</strong> Traffic: It shall always be ensured th<strong>at</strong> while opening <strong>to</strong><br />

any kind traffic, the primed surface is fully cured and is not sticky <strong>to</strong> avoid being picked<br />

up by traffic. Normally, the primed surface shall be allowed <strong>to</strong> cure for not less than 24<br />

hours and during this period no traffic of any kind shall be permitted.<br />

2.5.4.5 Laying of bituminous course over primed surface:<br />

Bituminous base course or wearing course shall be laid over the primed w<strong>at</strong>er bound<br />

macadam or any other granular base course, in the usual manner as per relevant<br />

specific<strong>at</strong>ion for the same including the requirement of tack co<strong>at</strong> as per clause 2.6.<br />

2.6 TACK COAT:<br />

2.6.1 Scope:<br />

This work shall consist of applic<strong>at</strong>ion of a single co<strong>at</strong> of low viscosity liquid bituminous<br />

m<strong>at</strong>erial <strong>to</strong> an existing road surface prepara<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong> another bituminous construction over it.<br />

2.6.2. M<strong>at</strong>erials:<br />

Binder: The binder used for tack co<strong>at</strong> shall be bitumen of a suitable grade appropri<strong>at</strong>e <strong>to</strong><br />

the region, traffic, rain fall and other environmental conditions as directed by the Engineer<br />

and conforming <strong>to</strong> IS:73, 217 or 454, as applicable, or any other approved cut back.<br />

2.6.3 Construction Oper<strong>at</strong>ion:
