Control Strip Sample Clauses

Control Strip. The Contractor shall micromill a control strip. The control strip shall be 500 feet minimum in length with a uniformly textured surface and cross slope, as approved by the Engineer. The micromilled surface of the control strip shall provide a satisfactory riding surface with a uniform textured appearance. The micromilled surface shall be free from gouges, excessive longitudinal grooves and ridges, oil film, and other imperfections that are a result of defective equipment, non-uniform milling teeth, improper use of equipment, or otherwise poor workmanship. Any unsatisfactory surfaces produced in the control strip shall be corrected by additional micromilling at the Contractor’s expense and to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The micromilled pavement surface shall have a transverse pattern of 0.2 – 0.3 inch center to center of each strike area. The Contractor shall perform surface texture measurements with a 10 foot (3 meter) straightedge in the transverse direction across the milled surface. The milled surface shall have a texture such that the variation from the edge of the straightedge to the top of ridges between any two ridge contact points shall not exceed 1/8 inch (3 mm). The difference in height from the top of any ridge to the bottom of the groove adjacent to that ridge shall not exceed 1/16” (1.6 mm). Any point in the surface not meeting these requirements shall be corrected as directed by the Engineer at the Contractor’s expense.

Control Strip. 3.12.2.1 When constructing hot mix asphalt courses, a control strip shall be constructed at the beginning of the work for the purpose of establishing the correct rolling pattern that will achieve the required density for each material type and course placed. Each control strip shall be constructed to acceptable density and surface tolerances and shall remain in place to become portion of the completed roadway. Unacceptable control strips shall be corrected or removed and replaced at the Contractor's expense. A control strip shall be at least 250 linear feet in length and span the width of the freshly placed mat, or up to 1 day’s production. A minimum of one longitudinal joint shall be formed where width permits. The materials and the equipment used to construct the control strip shall be the same as that to be used during full production. 3.12.2.2 Compaction of the control strip shall commence immediately after the course has been placed to the specified thickness. Compaction of the control strip shall continue until no discernable increase in density can be obtained by additional compactive effort. If the mean mat density following compaction is found to be less than 96 percent of the laboratory density or less than 92 percent of a maximum theoretical density for the material being used, the Engineer may order the construction of another control strip. If the mean joint density following compaction is found to be less than 94 percent of the laboratory density or less than 90 percent of a maximum theoretical density for the material being used, the Engineer may order the construction of another control strip. The mean density shall be determined by averaging the results of 10 density tests or 5 pavement cores taken from the pavement mat and 3 pavement cores taken from the longitudinal joint at randomly selected sites within the control strip. 3.12.2.3 A control strip will not be required if the total tonnage on the project is less than 500 tons.
