171AR PRESERVATION OF TREES, SHRUBS AND THE LIKE The Contractor shall take full responsibility for the care and preservation of all trees shrubs and the like required by the Contract to be preserved. Any damage to such trees and shrubs shall not be deemed to be an unavoidable result of the construction of the Works in accordance with the Contract. Where stated in Appendix 2/1 measures to preserve trees and shrubs shall include protective temporary fencing to enclose as much of the canopy of the tree as possible, whilst not obstructing established footways and rights of way and visibility for the highway user. Such measures shall not be limited to duration of site clearance works. Limitations on the use of those parts of the Site in the vicinity of trees shrubs and the like shall be as described in Appendix 1/7. Trenching and trenchless methods of excavation for, backfilling to, and the laying or removal of pipes ducts and cables close to trees and shrubs and beneath the canopy of trees, shall include such measures as necessary to avoid root damage and severance and to avoid damage to the canopy and foliage. Excavation of open trenches by machine is unacceptable within those precautionary areas shown on the Drawings. The Contractor shall comply with any further specific requirements for the construction of the Works in the vicinity of preserved trees and shrubs stated in Appendices 2/2, 5/1, 5/2, 5/4, 6/7, 14/4, and 14/5. Construction in the proximity of existing trees shall be in accordance with BS 5837:2005 Trees in Relation to Construction - Recommendations.

172AR ADVERTISEMENTS AND NAMEBOARDS

Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply: All advertisements, Contractor’s and Sub Contractor’s nameboards to be erected within the Site shall be submitted for acceptance by the Overseeing Organisation. Advertisements and nameboards will not be allowed in the vicinity of traffic lanes where these would distract drivers or conflict with statutory traffic signs. All advertisements and nameboards within the Site shall be removed within 2 weeks of the Completion Date. Nameboards providing directional information erected beyond the Site and within the highway shall only be erected with the consent of the Highway Authority.




Clause


175AR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND THE HIGHWAY Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply: Before the commencement of any part of the Works the Contractor shall inspect the condition of existing buildings, road and footway surfaces and installations, kerbs, verges, fences, walls and street furniture etc. He shall prepare a schedule noting all existing defects, together with sketches or photographs where necessary. The schedule shall be agreed with the Overseeing Organisation. The Contractor on completion of the Works or at such earlier time as may be required shall make good to the satisfaction of the Overseeing Organisation and any owners or public authorities concerned all damage additional to that agreed in the schedule. In the event of the Contractor failing to prepare and agree a schedule of condition, the property in question shall be deemed to have been undamaged prior to the execution of the Works. If, in the opinion of the Overseeing Organisation, the Contractor has failed to repair and make good within a reasonable time, any damage attributed to his actions, or has likewise failed to arrange for the repairs to be carried out, the Employer may himself arrange for the repairs to be carried out and deduct the expenses incurred from money due to the Contractor under the Contract.




Clause


182AR STORAGE OF PLANT AND MATERIALS Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply: The site for storage of plant and materials shall be approved by the Overseeing Organisation. There shall be no storage of any materials, including soil, within river floodplains during the construction of the works unless agreed with the Overseeing Organisation. The extent of any floodplains will be shown on Package Order drawings. All electrical plant and materials to be incorporated in permanent works shall be stored in weatherproof accommodation. Lighting columns shall not be stored overnight on the highway unless they are within a secure compound. The Contractor shall, to the satisfaction of the Overseeing Organisation, minimise the use of the highway for storing or mixing materials. Any obstruction to traffic or pedestrians shall be properly signed and protected. Footways shall be kept clear unless the Overseeing Organisation agrees otherwise. Materials shall be removed from the highway before darkness where possible, but if not, they shall be properly guarded with barriers, cones, signs and lamps. Where there is no reasonable alternative to the use of the highway, boarding and/or heavy gauge plastic sheeting shall be used when mixing or depositing any material which is likely to stain or damage the highway. Similarly the contractor shall take measures to ensure that no such material is allowed to enter any drain or sewer connected to the highway.

183 AR USE OF NEW BRIDGES BY CONSTRUCTION PLANT Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply: Construction plant shall not be permitted on the deck of new bridges before the deck concrete has achieved the full 28 day cube strength. Such plant will then be permitted to cross the bridge provided that the following requirements are met: The plant does not apply a more severe loading to the structure than 30 units of Type HB loading as defined in the Department of Transport Standard No. BD 37/01 Loads for Highway Bridges. Prior approval is obtained from the Overseeing Organisation to specific requirements for the protection of the running surface.




Clause


671 AR DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS INJURIOUS TO AGRICULTURE Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply; In respect of precautions against weeds injurious to agriculture both on Site and on land temporarily occupied by the Contractor, the Contractor’s attention is drawn to the Weeds Act 1959 (Chapter 54) and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (Chapter 69). The Contractor shall also take such precautions against wild oats and wild beet. The Contractor shall not contaminate any watercourse with the use of weed killers.




Clause


674 AR STERILISATION OF SURFACES

Sterilisation of surfaces shall be in compliance with this Clause and Clause 124.

When described in Appendix 6/7 a surface shall be sterilised by the application of a weed killer. In the case of completed formations the surface shall be sterilised prior to the laying of sub-base or base material. The selectivity and formulation of the weed killer shall be as described in Appendix 6/7.

For each location to be treated the Contractor shall select either a non-residual herbicide, a persistent weed killer, or a compound of both, and shall determine the rates and numbers of applications to suit the type of weed killer, the environment and weather conditions, such as to endeavour to achieve a twelve month effective weed control.

Equipment shall be approved by the Overseeing Organisation and be used by competent and NPTC certificated operatives. All products shall be approved under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 and shall be used in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. Products which contain the triazine group of chemicals shall not be used.

The Contractor shall ensure that surfaces and vegetation beyond those surfaces to be sterilised do not receive weed killer. Areas to be treated shall be suitably screened and shall receive measures to prevent animals entering onto treated surfaces, being in contact with or consuming treated vegetation. The Contractor shall not contaminate any watercourse with the use of weed killers. The Contractor shall display and remove as necessary, appropriate notices to warn the public of hazards from his operations and the treated surfaces.

Treated vegetation, part used materials and containers, shall be transported and disposed of by approved means off Site.

The Contractor shall take into account the recommendations contained in the Health and Safety Commission Approved Code of Practice 'The safe use of pesticides for non-agricultural purposes'.

Sterilisation of surfaces shall be in compliance with this Clause and Clause 124.

For each location to be treated the Contractor shall select either a non-residual herbicide, a persistent weed killer, or a compound of both, and shall determine the rates and numbers of applications to suit the type of weed killer, the environment and weather conditions, such as to endeavour to achieve a twelve month effective weed control.

Equipment shall be approved by the Overseeing Organisation and be used by competent and NPTC certificated operatives.

All products shall be approved under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986 and shall be

used in accordance with the manufacturers' instructions. Products which contain the triazine group of chemicals shall not be used.




Clause


970 AR COMPACTION CONTROL OF ASPHALT MIXTURES

Where stated in Appendix 1/6 the compaction control of asphalt mixtures shall, for whichever specified method has been selected, be determined as follows: Method A – All Asphalt Mixtures except surface courses The compaction of recipe mix asphalt concrete shall be assessed by determination of in-situ air void content calculated from in-situ density measured using an indirect density gauge. The compaction of base and binder course asphalt concrete shall be continuously assessed using the indirect density gauge with readings taken at 20m intervals in alternate wheel tracks. The Contractor shall take corrective action as is necessary whilst the material is still above the minimum rolling temperature specified in BS594987, Table 9 if low densities are indicated at the time of laying. For material from each mixing plant the average in-situ air void content calculated from any six consecutive indirect density gauge readings shall not exceed 7%. If the in-situ air void content exceeds the limit specified, then a pair of cores shall be taken at that location and the in-situ air void contents determined. If the average air void content of the pair of cores also exceeds 7%, the defective length shall be removed and replaced such that compliance is re-established. Lengths of not less than 15 linear metres shall be removed and replaced, unless otherwise agreed by the Overseeing Organisation. The maximum density of each mixture shall be measured in accordance with BS EN 12697-5:2002, Procedure B: Hydrostatic procedure.

The in-situ density of the material shall be found using indirect density gauge readings corrected in line with gauge/core density correlations. If required, the in-situ density of the material shall be found by taking cores and testing in accordance with BS EN 12697-6 2003, Procedure C: Bulk density – sealed specimen. The air void content shall be determined in accordance with BS EN 12697-8: 2003 Clause 4.

Method A – Stone Mastic Asphalt

The compaction of Stone Mastic Asphalt shall be assessed by determination of the in-situ air void content, found from taking 6 number randomly spaced 150mm diameter cores for material from each mixing plant. The maximum density of each mixture shall be measured in accordance with BS EN 12697-5:2002, Procedure B: Hydrostatic procedure. The density of the cores shall be measured in accordance with BS EN 12697-6: 2003, Procedure C: Bulk density – sealed specimen. The air void content shall be determined in accordance with BS EN 12697-8: 2003 Clause 4. The air void content of each individual core shall not exceed 6%.




Clause


970 AR COMPACTION CONTROL OF ASPHALT MIXTURES (CONTINUED) Method B – All Asphalt Mixtures In-situ air void content of compacted bituminous mixtures shall be determined following the principles set out in BS 594987. The degree of compaction shall be assessed by extracting 150 mm diameter cores, at a rate of 6 no cores per 1000 m2. The maximum density shall be determined in accordance with EN 12697 –5, procedure A, in water. For reference purposes and in the event of dispute the bulk density shall be determined in accordance with EN 12697 – 6 procedure C sealed specimen, for routine purposes the bulk density may be determined in accordance with procedure A, dry specimen. The maximum density and core bulk density shall be used to determine air void content in accordance with EN 12697-8. Compliance shall be judged by comparison with the specified air void content shown in table 970 AR. Core holes will be reinstated by the Contractor. The acceptable state of compaction shall be within the appropriate range given in Table 970AR.

Title and Written Text

971 AR POLICY FOR USE OF STONE MASTIC ASPHALT (SMA) ON COUNTY ROADS Material Selection SMA 14 Surf, SMA 10 Surf or SMA 6 Surf should be specified to achieve one of the texture depth levels 1 to 3 appropriate to road speed as shown in Table 2. Increasing texture depth results in increasing void content and reduced durability. Therefore the use of SMA 14 Surf should be restricted to sites where local conditions such as poor drainage may increase the risk of high speed wet weather skidding. In all other circumstances SMA 10 Surf or SMA 6 Surf should be specified. There are additional concerns regarding the durability and stability of lower pavement layers where SMA surface course is used. Due to its potentially higher permeability, it is emphasised that all surface course mixtures must be laid on a sound uncracked substrate and preferably on an asphalt concrete or hot rolled asphalt binder course. The use of SMA above construction layers which may be susceptible to the ingress of moisture should be avoided. Tanker applied bond coats shall be applied in all circumstances where SMA is used as a surface course only overlay or inlay. All SMA mixtures shall be transported, handled and laid in accordance with BS 594987. Early Life Skid Resistance The early life skid resistance of SMA is a cause for concern due to the presence of significant amounts of surface bitumen which may result in skid resistance values in dry conditions similar to those experienced on “run in” material in wet conditions. Use of Sealing Grit The use of sealing grit on SMA has been found to provide a significant improvement in early life skid resistance and its use should be specified on all texture depth level 2 and 3 sites (see Table 2). It should be noted that the application of grit will reduce texture depth to some degree but, on 14 mm SMA, 1.3 mm will still readily be achieved provided that the sealing grit is applied at the guide rate of spread of approximately 0.5 to 0.7 kg/sq.m. If the gritting application is omitted for site specific reasons then the surface skid resistance should then be measured and “Slippery Road Signs” (Diagram 557 with Supplementary Plate to Diag. 570) should be provided whenever the values fall below HD 36 investigatory levels. The grit should be applied by mechanical means to ensure an even rate of spread and to avoid excessive localised accumulations of material. Any excess loose grit should be swept prior to, or immediately upon, sites being opened to unrestricted traffic. On sites where grit has been applied “Slippery Road” signs will not normally be needed and skid resistance tests will only be carried out where there is an accident related problem or where a previously high level of skid resistance has come to be relied upon by road users and needs to be achieved again. On high speed sites where grit has not been applied and measured skid resistance was below Investigatory levels the Highways Laboratory should be asked to test the skid resistance at the site after six months and prior to the removal of the signs to determine that an acceptable level of skid resistance exists. On heavily trafficked sites skid resistance may exceed investigatory levels within a shorter period of time and a three month skid test may be requested. This would have the advantage of avoiding an unnecessary proliferation of signs. In all cases, the aim should be to avoid leaving signs in place after their usefulness has expired to avoid “familiarity breeding contempt”.


Clause No


971 AR STONE MASTIC ASPHALT SURFACE COURSE GENERAL Stone Mastic Asphalt shall comply with the requirements of BS EN 13108 Bituminous mixtures - Material specifications Part 5, and PD 6691 Guidance on the use of BS EN 13108. Other than where amended or supplemented by this document Stone Mastic Asphalt shall be designed and manufactured to comply with the requirements of PD 6691 annex D and shall be transported handled and laid in accordance with the requirements of BS 594987. Four different materials are specified: SMA 14 surf 40/60. A general SMA mixture only to be used on texture depth level 3 sites considered to carry a greater than normal risk of wet weather skidding due to poor drainage or surface profile. SMA 10 surf. An SMA mixture for general use, on texture depth level 1, 2 or 3 sites, including high speed roads and roundabouts. SMA 6 surf 40/60 or 100/150. Suitable for use on texture depth level 1 sites or heavily used footways. SMA 6 bin 40/60. Used as carriageway regulating material. MATERIALS Aggregate Polished Stone Value - generally not less than 60 for carriageway surface course but as specified In Appendix 7/1 after reference to HD36/06 table 3.1.

TESTING OF PERMANENT ROAD MARKINGS

Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply:

The retroreflectivity and skid resistance of the permanent road markings shall for the period stated in the contract exceed those values specified in Appendix 12/3. Testing to determine the retroreflectivity and skid resistance shall be carried out as specified in this Clause:

Retroreflectivity – Apparatus The apparatus shall consist of:- A retroflectometer with a light source and a photodetector with a geometry for observation and illumination of 1.37

o and 0.74

o respectively (ie LTL 2000

retroflectometer). The retroflectometer shall be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

Retroreflectivity – Test Procedure The road markings shall be tested in dry conditions when the air temperature is greater than 10

o

and less than 30oC, and any loose dirt or foreign particles shall be removed from the area to be

tested.

The area to be tested shall be 200 x 100mm and measurements shall be made at 5 positions at approximately 200mm intervals along the road marking. The procedure shall be repeated at 2 further locations within 50 metres of the first set of measurements. The overall average of the 15 readings shall be the definitive retroreflectivity value.

Where the retroreflectivity value is less than the value specified in Appendix 12/3, then the road markings shall be thoroughly cleansed, allowed to dry and re-tested following the procedure detailed in sub-clause 4 above. The results of the second series of measurements (when undertaken) shall always prevail.

Skidding Resistance – Apparatus The apparatus shall consist of:- A Griptester used in the “push mode”. The Griptester shall be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Skidding Resistance – Procedure The road markings shall have any loose dirt of foreign particles removed from the area to be tested. The area to be tested shall be any transverse width of 53 mm along the longitudinal length of the road marking. For letters, symbols and intermittent lines, the actual length of the respective road marking shall be used for the purpose of any individual measurement. For continuous lines a length of 10 metres shall be used for the purpose of any individual measurement. Measurements shall be repeated on the same line, letter or symbol but in the opposite direction. The procedure shall be repeated at two further locations within 50 metres of the first set of measurements.

The overall average of the 6 (grip number) readings shall be converted to the equivalent Skidding Resistance Value (SRV) using the equation:- GN = 0.0121 x SRV + 0.062

Where the average SRV is less than the value specified in Appendix 12/3, then the road markings shall be thoroughly cleansed and re-tested following the procedures detailed in sub- Clauses 9 and 10.

The results of the second series of measurements (when undertaken) shall always prevail.

1270AR

TESTING OF PERMANENT ROAD MARKINGS (CONTINUED) Rectification If the road markings fail to meet the performance standards listed above, and for those additionally specified in Clause 1212SR, the Total Wear Index, the Luminance Factor and the Yellowness Index, then the Contractor shall undertake remedial works as is reasonably practicable.

The remedial work shall incorporate all lines, letters and symbols constructed on the same day by the same contractor’s team as that road marking which failed to meet the standards required, or such other lines, letters or symbols as shall be determined by the Overseeing Organisation.

Where road marking material is to be applied on top of an existing road marking, the combined thickness shall not exceed 5mm. Where this is likely to be exceeded then the Contractor shall remove the existing road marking(s), by a method approved by the Overseeing Organisation, and subsequently apply the road markings to the surface.

The above shall not necessarily apply when the designed thickness exceeds 5mm

must fully comply with cl2601 and shall not affect the free flow of mortar beneath the precast element.

Unless specified otherwise in the Package Order the following shall apply: 1 Mortars shall comply with the requirements of clause 2601 of the Specification. 2 Resinous mortars: Resinous mortars shall have the following additional properties: compressive strength after 3 hours to be greater than 40 Mpa tensile strength after 3 hours to be greater than 8 Mpa low shrinkage after 28 days 3 Quick setting mortar: Quick setting mortar shall contain quick setting cement or approved additive to

obtain early mortar hardening and strength. 4. Compressive Strength Requirements (i) Cementitious bedding mortar shall have the following minimum compressive strength requirements in addition to the requirements of Clause 2601.1(i):- (a) 10 N/mm2 at 24 hours at 5 C; (b) 40 N/mm2 at 72 hours at 20 C. (ii) The laboratory approval tests for compressive strength shall be extended to include the production and testing of a total of twelve further cubes in accordance with Clause 2601.4(iv) to prove compliance with the requirements stated in paragraph (i) above. 5. Early Loading Requirements (i) The material may be loaded once it has achieved a compressive strength of 40 N/mm2. (ii) The gain in strength of the cementitious mortar shall be monitored by testing cubes cured alongside the work area at ambient temperature. For each pour of mortar four cubes shall be made as specified in Clause 2601.4(iv). The cubes shall be cured for 24 hours in the moulds with the top surfaces covered by polythene sheets. After 24 hours the cubes shall be stripped and either placed in polythene bags which shall be sealed or protected as specified in Clause 2601.3. The cubes shall continue to be stored alongside the work area until required for testing. The cubes shall be crushed in sets of two, at times determined by the Contractor until the compressive strength of both cubes in a set is not less than 40 N/mm2
