3 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems THE CONTRACTOR S PERSPECTIVE

4 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems THE CONTRACTOR S PERSPECTIVE The best way to troubleshoot asphalt problems is to keep them from happening.

5 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems THE CONTRACTOR S PERSPECTIVE The best way to troubleshoot asphalt problems is to keep them from happening.

6 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems THE CONTRACTOR S PERSPECTIVE The best way to troubleshoot asphalt problems is to keep them from happening. Eliminating problems before they happen is more economical, maintains a better relationship with the customer and provides a better, more long lasting product.

30 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems A system of good practices and cooperation throughout the entire paving process from aggregate crushing through asphalt production to the asphalt placement will minimize or eliminate asphalt problems.

31 Aggregate Production

32 Aggregate Production Crusher Control Proper Screen Settings Frequent checking of screens while crushing Maintain both quality of product and rate of production

33 Aggregate Production

34 Aggregate Production RAP Production Good crushing practices are essential

35 Aggregate Production RAP Production Good crushing practices are essential Stockpile Management Build stockpiles in layers

36 Aggregate Production RAP Production Good crushing practices are essential Stockpile Management Build stockpiles in layers Avoid comingling and contamination

37

38 Asphalt Plant Operations

39 Asphalt Plant Operations Aggregates Proper stockpile management Keep bins from running out or running over Avoid comingling of materials

40 Asphalt Plant Operations Aggregates Proper stockpile management Keep bins from running out or running over Avoid comingling of materials Careful calibration of plant

41 Asphalt Plant Operations

42 Asphalt Plant Operations Asphalt cement (binder) Regular calibration of asphalt pump Maintenance of pumps and hot oil heating system

43 Asphalt Plant Operations Asphalt cement (binder) Regular calibration of asphalt pump Maintenance of pumps and hot oil heating system Baghouse fines Collection and metering of baghouse fines Regular maintenance and repair of baghouse and fines delivery system

44 Asphalt Plant Operations

45 Asphalt Plant Operations Silo Management Maintain proper level of material in silo Avoid loading trucks without enough mix in silo Regular maintenance of bin-top conveyors, gob hoppers and silo gates

46 Asphalt Plant Operations Silo Management Maintain proper level of material in silo Avoid loading trucks without enough mix in silo Regular maintenance of bin-top conveyors, gob hoppers and silo gates Truck Loadout Make sure truck beds have been cleaned out Practice multiple dump loading

47 Asphalt Paving Practices

48 Asphalt Paving Practices Match plant, paver and roller speed Avoid temperature segregation Avoid smoothness issues caused by starting and stopping

49 Asphalt Paving Practices Match plant, paver and roller speed Avoid temperature segregation Avoid smoothness issues caused by starting and stopping Pickup machine Proper size of windrow to match paver demand

50 Asphalt Paving Practices Match plant, paver and roller speed Avoid temperature segregation Avoid smoothness issues caused by starting and stopping Pickup machine Proper size of windrow to match paver demand End dump into paver hopper

51 Asphalt Laydown

52 Asphalt Laydown Maintain proper amount of material in the hopper

53 Asphalt Laydown Maintain proper amount of material in the hopper Match paving speed to the rate of asphalt delivery

54 Asphalt Laydown Maintain proper amount of material in the hopper Match paving speed to the rate of asphalt delivery Constant head of material at the augers

55 Asphalt Laydown Maintain proper amount of material in the hopper Match paving speed to the rate of asphalt delivery Constant head of material at the augers Augers moving almost constantly

56 Asphalt Laydown

57 Asphalt Laydown Proper angle of attack at the screed

58 Asphalt Laydown Proper angle of attack at the screed Proper use of skis and joint matchers

59 Asphalt Laydown Proper angle of attack at the screed Proper use of skis and joint matchers Rely on the screed automatics

60 Asphalt Compaction

61 Asphalt Compaction Match type, size and number of rollers to the project. Too large of rollers can be as detrimental to the project as rollers that are too small Pneumatic rollers can be beneficial to compaction (they are usually required) Some projects may require multiple rollers

62

64

65 Asphalt Compaction

66 Asphalt Compaction Use the compaction test section to the benefit of everyone Establish and maintain a good rolling pattern Determine best compaction temperature for rolling Identify and avoid the tender zone

67 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems

68 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems Some asphalt problems are not a problem with the asphalt at all.

69 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems Some asphalt problems are not a problem with the asphalt at all. Asphalt problems that are a problem with the asphalt are a breakdown of Best Practices in one or more areas of asphalt production and placement.

70 Troubleshooting Asphalt Problems Some asphalt problems are not a problem with the asphalt at all. Asphalt problems that are a problem with the asphalt are a breakdown of Best Practices in one or more areas of asphalt production and placement. All asphalt problems can be solved through cooperation by all the involved parties.
