610.03 Construction

Place rumble strips as specified. Grind or mill the rumble strips into asphalt mix at a rate of at least 4000 strips per hour. Grind into Portland cement concrete at a rate of at least 1000 strips per hour. Equipment. The equipment shall have rotary type cutting heads with a length of 16 in. and an outside diameter not greater than 24 in. The cutting heads shall have the cutting tips arranged in a pattern providing a relatively smooth cut (approximately 1/16 in. between peaks and valleys). The cutting heads shall be mounted on their own suspension, independent of the power unit, to allow the tool to self-align with the slope of the shoulder and any irregularities in the shoulder surface. The cutting tool shall be equipped with guides to provide consistent alignment of each cut in relation to the roadway and to provide uniformity throughout the project. The Engineer will randomly check the pattern edge alignment. Control Strip. Grind a control strip at least 100 ft in length to demonstrate that the speed of operation, dimensions, and texture are acceptable. Clean up. Sweep or vacuum the work area before reopening the roadway to traffic. Do not sweep the material to the side of the road. 610 — SHOULDER RUMBLE STRIPS 2026 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS
