330- 13 Protection of Finished Surface. <br /> Keep sections of newly compacted asphalt concrete , which are to be covered by <br /> additional courses , clean until the successive course is laid . <br /> Do not dump embankment or base material directly on the pavement. Dress shoulders <br /> before placing the friction course on adjacent pavement. <br /> Equip blade graders operating adjacent to the pavement during shoulder construction <br /> with a 2 inch by 8 inch or larger board, or other attachment providing essentially the same <br /> results , attached to their blades in such manner that it extends below the blade edge in order to <br /> protect the pavement surface from damage by the grader blade . <br /> To prevent rutting or other distortion, protect sections of newly finished dense - graded <br /> friction course and the last structural layer prior to the friction course from traffic until the <br /> surface temperature has cooled below 160°F . <br /> The Contractor may use artificial methods to cool the pavement to expedite paving <br /> operations . The Department may direct the Contractor to use artificial cooling methods when <br /> maintenance of traffic requires opening the pavement to traffic at the earliest possible time . <br /> 334 SUPERPAVE ASPHALT CONCRETE . <br /> (REV 14041 ) (FA 1 -2741 ) (741 ) <br /> SECTION 334 (Pages 265 -291 ) is deleted and the following substituted : <br /> SECTION 334 <br /> SUPERPAVE ASPHALT CONCRETE <br /> 3344 Description . <br /> 334- 1 . 1 General : Construct a Superpave Asphalt Concrete pavement with the type of <br /> mixture specified in the Contract, or when offered as alternates , as selected. Superpave mixes are <br /> identified as Type SP- 9 . 5 , Type SP- 12 . 5 or Type SP- 19 . 0 . <br /> Meet the requirements of Section 320 for plant and equipment. Meet the general <br /> construction requirements of Section 330 , except as modified herein, including the provision for <br /> Quality Control Plans and Quality Control Systems as specified in Section 105 . <br /> 334- 1 .2 Traffic Levels : The requirements for Type SP Asphalt Concrete mixtures are <br /> based on the design traffic level of the project, expressed in 18 , 000 pound Equivalent Single <br /> Axle Loads (ESAL ' s) .
