    6.1.

    11 Prime Coat Rate

    The prime coat shall be applied at the rate or rates directed by the Engineer following trial
    runs. The rate will usually be in the range of 0.4 to 0.8 litres per square meter. A table shall
    be prepared by the Contractor and amended from time to time as may be necessary to show
    distributor road speeds and adjustments for the full ranges of rates of application. The table
    shall be available on the work site at all times and shall enable the appropriate road speed to
    be determined and the distributor adjusted for the rate of application required prior to the
    commencement of any run of the distributor.

    6.1.12 Width of Primed Surface

    The width of primed surface shall be one hundred and fifty (150) millimeters wider on each
    side than the sealed surface specified on the Drawings or as directed by the Engineer. The
    edges of the area primed shall not vary by more than + 75 millimeters from the lines
    specified or directed by the Engineer.

    6.1.13 Optimum Temperature

    The optimum temperature of the cutback at the time of application will depend upon climatic
    conditions and the equipment used but shall be in the range 3 5°C - 55°C. Heating quantities
    in excess of requirements or prolonged heating at high temperatures are to be avoided. Any
    material which, in the opinion of the Engineer, has been damaged by overheating shall be
    rejected and shall be replaced at the Contractor's expense.

    6.1.14 Application of Prime Coat

    Prime coat shall be applied only when the weather is dry and when the road temperature is at
    or above 18°C. Road temperature shall be measured as set out in Clause 6.1.4.

    Any prescribed application shall be divided into two applications when necessary to prevent
    bitumen flowing off the surface, and additional material shall be applied where surface
    conditions indicate it to be necessary, if the Engineer so directs. No further courses shall be
    applied until the prime coat has set and the solvent evaporated.

    When so directed, the prime coat shall be applied in lanes of approximately one half of the
    width of the completed surface. A lane of prime coat shall be applied, allowed to penetrate
    not less than 4 hours, unless otherwise permitted by the Engineer, then covered with blotter
    material if required, and opened to traffic before prime coat is applied to the adjacent lane.
    When applying blotter material to the first treated lane, a strip at least 200 millimeters wide
    shall be left uncovered where the two lanes join to permit a slight overlap of the prime
    material.

    6.1.15 Adjacent Trees and Structures

    The surfaces of structures and trees adjacent to the area being treated shall be protected in
    such a manner as to prevent their being spattered or marred. No bituminous material shall be
    discharged into a stone pitched or concrete lined side drain.
    6.1.16 Traffic Restrictions

    Traffic shall not be permitted on the primed surface until the bituminous material has
    penetrated and dried and, in the opinion of the Engineer, will not be picked up by the traffic.
    Where the Engineer deems it impractical to reroute traffic, the Contractor shall spread the
    minimum quantity, as approved by the Engineer, of blotter material necessary to avoid
    picking up, and traffic shall be allowed to use areas so treated. Any areas containing an
    excess or deficiency of priming material shall be corrected by the addition of sand or prime
    as directed by the Engineer. Should any break occur in the surface the area affected shall be
    cut out and made good as directed by the Engineer. All repairs and corrections of faulty work
    shall be carried out at the expense of the Contractor.
