ASPHALTING
PROCEDURE
Coordination with Asphalt Plant
01• Confirm mix design and quantity: Ensure the hot
mix asphalt (HMA) type, temperature, and required
tonnage are confirmed with the plant.
• Schedule delivery: Coordinate the delivery schedule
to maintain continuous paving.
• Check plant readiness: Ensure that the asphalt plant
has enough production capacity for the day’s
operation.
• Confirm transportation logistics: Ensure dump
trucks are available and scheduled for continuous
supply without delays.

ASPHALTING
PROCEDURE
Work Area Clean Up
02• Remove debris and dust: Clear the road surface of
loose materials, dirt, and vegetation.
• Sweep and blow the surface: Use mechanical
sweepers and air blowers to remove fine dust.
• Check for potholes or cracks: Repair major defects
before asphalting.
• Ensure proper drainage: Clear water channels and
ensure no standing water on the surface.

Traffi c Management
• Install advance warning signs: Place signs at least
100 meters before the work zone.
• Setup cones and barricades: Define the work zone
and ensure a clear separation from live traffic.
• Assign flagmen: Deploy trained flaggers to guide

• Check SS1 emulsion temperature: Ensure it is within
the recommended range (usually 50-70°C).
• Set sprayer nozzles and pressure: Ensure uniform
coverage at the specified rate (typically 0.25-0.70
L/m²).

Steel Tandem Rolling Procedure
08• Start rolling from the centerline outward: Begin
compaction at the center and work toward the
edges.
• Use proper lapping technique: Overlap passes by at
least 30% to avoid unrolled sections.
• Apply appropriate braking: Avoid sudden stops to
prevent surface indentations.
• Control roller speed: Maintain a slow, uniform speed
(3-4 km/h).
• Ensure proper compaction temperature: Start rolling
when the asphalt temperature is around 120-140°C.

Pneumatic Rolling Procedure
09• Start rolling after steel rolling: Initiate pneumatic
rolling when the asphalt is still workable.
• Maintain proper speed: Keep a steady speed (5-8
km/h) for effective kneading action.
• Use staggered passes: Ensure overlapping passes to
prevent uneven compaction.
• Avoid excessive braking: Gradual deceleration
prevents surface deformation.
