DESCRIPTION.
A.
Recycle the existing asphalt pavement surface by heater scarification, and resurface with HMA.
B.
Heater scarification and resurfacing is part of a multi-step process of asphalt surface rehabilitation. This rehabilitation consists of: 1.
Preparing the existing asphalt surface,
2.
Softening the surface with heat,

CONSTRUCTION. Equipment. 1.
Heater Scarifier.
heater scarification unit, capable of processing at a rate of at least 1500 square yards per hour over a minimum one lane width of 12 feet.

purpose of pavement heating and capable of producing at least 10 million BTUs per hour. Apply heat under an enclosure or shielded hood.
Where scarifying to an existing curb and gutter line is required, equip the scarifying unit to scarify, and move away from gutter aprons, a 1/2 inch by 4 foot path of existing material. Use a scarifier that will ensure continuous and undiminished pavement contact without damaging utility accesses and valve boxes.
• Distributing the heated and scarified material over the width being processed to produce a uniform cross section, and • Windrowing excess material to one side for removal when necessary.
2.
Hot Mix Asphalt Construction Equipment. For batching, mixing, hauling, placing, and compacting the surface course, use equipment meeting the requirements for the type of mixture specified.
Paving Plant Operation. Meet the requirements for the type of mixture specified.

during heating. Ensure the heated material has a temperature in a range between 220°F to 260°F, measured immediately behind the heater scarifier. Uniformly and evenly heat the remixed layer throughout. Uncontrolled heating, causing differential softening of the upper surface, will not be permitted. Extend the heating operation at least 4 inches beyond the width of the scarification on both sides.

Obtain the Engineer's approval for the method used.
D.
Compaction of Mixture. After the new surface course is spread, promptly and thoroughly compact all the mixture according to Article 2303.03, C, 5, c.
E.
Joints. Construct joints according to the requirements of Article 2303.03, C, 6, and as shown in the contract documents.
F.
Finished Surface. 1.
Ensure the finished pavement elevations comply with the requirements of the contract documents, and the finished cross slope is a plane surface with a slope as shown.
2.
Ensure all edges, radii, and handwork have a neat and finished appearance.

Prior to construction in cities, towns, or built up areas; contact the fire chief to solicit a recommended safety procedure to be followed. Follow these recommendations. In addition to any other recommendations, follow the procedure below:
the areas for possible gas leaks in or around their lines.
the area for accumulations of sewer gas.
fuels have been advised not to dispense these fuels while the heater burner is being operated within 100 feet of their business places.
