SECTION – IV TECHNICAL

DETAILS OF MANUFACTURERS/SUPPLIERS OF COLD MIXES

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE:

Patchwork by Cold mix pothole patching by Jet Patcher technology with required machinary:-

Step – I:- Using the high volume blower, the patching machine easily blows all loose debris and even

water from pothole; cleaning it, and preparing the hole for an effective patch.

Step-II:- The pothole patching jet patcher machine now coats the potholes with an asphalt

emulsionwhich seals the potholes and prevents further damage from occurring, due to moisture.

Step-III:- The remote control switch on the conveyor is now activated by the operator to put

aggregate into the jet air stream. As a aggregate passes through the nozzle it is coated with fresh

emulsion and is spread by the operator into the hole or broken road edge. Because the Jet patcher

machine asphalt mix is spread at speed upto 100km/hr compaction from the bottom is achieved denser

than rolled asphalt.

Step-IV:- The wet top of the repaired area can now be protected from traffic flow using either dry

aggregates spread from the pothole patching jet patcher machine or for inner city work (where loose chip

is potential hazard) sand from the optional sand hopper can be built into the pothole patching jet

2. MATERIALS REQUIRED

The aggregate consists of crushed angular pieces of hard rock which range from 2 to 10 mm. A

mixture of sizes produces the best interlocking effect and therefore a much denser patch. The

aggregate should be reasonably dust free although sweeping form reseals are often usable.

Round river stones are not suitable. Damp aggregate is best, allowing the emulsion to adhere more

readily as it is propelled through the nozzle. Water injection supplied by the pressure tank via the

venturi feed system allows for moisture to be added to aggregates which are too dry.

The cold emulsions recommended are either anionic or cationic and have a 60 to 65% Emulsion

content. The emulsion needs to be medium to rapid setting. The industrial code would be CMS1,

CMS2. KMS1 or similar. The emulsion must be free of lumps or impurities which will block spray

The Cold emulsion should be cationic and have a 60 to 65% bitumen content. The emulsion to be

used should be rapid setting of code CRS-60. The emulsion must be free from lumps or impurities to

aroid the blockage of spray. The quantity of emulsion@5% by weight of total mix shall be taken in

mix and tack coat of 2.5kg/10 sqm.

N.B. Please refer to attached Information Sheet on Types of Emulsion

Volume / Weight Ratio

It takes and average of 1 cubic metre of aggregate mixed with 100 - 120 litres of emulsion to make

1.75 tonnes of asphalt material. This is with the use of average grade to dusty aggregate.

With clean aggregate, including provision for tack coating the area to repaired, an experienced

operator will use between 70 and 90 litres of emulsion per cubic metre of aggregate.

Note: In case of the pot holes upto the depth of 40mm full thickness shall be of the New Technology

Product and in case of Pothole depth more than 40 mm, the minimum thickness of New Technology

Product shall be of 40 mm

Mode of Payment:-

The Payment to the Contractor will be on the per Sq. Mt. Basis . The Surface area of the Pothole / Bad

patch to be repaired will be measured . The rate quoted for the respective item depending on the

Depth of the Repaired Pothole / Bad patch will be applied
