Pre-Construction
Early coordination with agency staff
Existing roads may not be designed to high enough standards

The Construction Phase
Pre-Construction Pictures
1. Condition of existing surface
2. Condition of subsurface structures
→ Some agencies will have video/photos of existing subsurface facilities
Condition of Trench Walls
3. Avoiding (where possible) conditions of wet and/or sandy soils

The Construction Phase
Caltrans vs. Greenbook Specifications
1. HMA or Asphalt Concrete
2. Know which specification and the year you’re referring to!

The Construction Phase
Pavement Installation Methods
1. Installation varies by pavement selection
→ Some areas deal primarily with asphalt pavements; yours may vary.
2. How to make great decisions about pavement, and what to take with you in the field
→ Gary’s 5 Key Points for Great Pavement Decision-Making

TRENCHING OPERATIONS + PAVEMENT RESTORATION
Gary’s 5 Key Points for Great Pavement Decision-Making
1. Conduct a pre-paving conference
2. Repair existing AC surface before paving
3. Start rolling above the minimum temperature (250°F)
4. Finish rolling above the minimum temperature (200°F)
5. Monitor AC temperature often in cold weather

Gary’s 4 Essential Pieces of EquipmentThat All Pavement Inspectors Should Carry

2. Folding Rule
3. AC Stabber (Probe)
4. Measuring Wheel

LET‘S REVIEW
Typical Pavement Failures
TRENCHING OPERATIONS + PAVEMENT RESTORATION
Review from our Pavement Design Training.
How pavement fails and what causes particular types of failures.

A CLOSER LOOK AT
Typical Failures: Alligator Cracking
TRENCHING OPERATIONS + PAVEMENT RESTORATION
CausesInadequate structural support/design, increase in traffic loading, poor construction, inadequate compaction.
RepairsSmall areas: dig out, improve drainage, patch.Large areas: placement of overlay on entire pavement surface.
![Page 17: Pavement Best Practices for Construction Management](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55544f5eb4c905b7428b4e99/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A CLOSER LOOK AT
Typical Failures: Block Cracking
TRENCHING OPERATIONS + PAVEMENT RESTORATION
CausesAsphalt shrinkage, temperature cycling, poor compaction, age of binder.
RepairsCrack sealing or overlay, depending on severity of cracking.

A CLOSER LOOK AT
Typical Failures: Shoving
PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION
CausesUsually occurs where traffic starts and stops or where asphalt abuts a rigid object, combined with an unstable asphalt layer or excessive subgrade moisture.
RepairsRemove distorted pavement. For small areas, patch; for large areas, overlay.

A CLOSER LOOK AT
Typical Failures: Raveling
TRENCHING OPERATIONS + PAVEMENT RESTORATION
CausesLoss of bond between aggregate particles and the asphalt binder; mechanical dislodging (although this cause is not common in Southern California).
RepairsDepending on size of area, patch or overlay.
