Current Practices on Nighttime Pavement Construction Asphaltic Concrete.

Abstract

The magnitude of scheduled airline operations at civil airports has made it imperative that runway repair and overlay with hot mix asphaltic concrete be accomplished at night so as not to interfere with normal airline flight schedules. Technical data and recommended construction practices such as working hours, construction lighting, automatic grade control, standby equipment, compaction, milling, stress absorbing membrane, sawing joints in overlay, construction of transition and other related items are discussed in this study. The practices involving repair of existing pavements and construction of high quality overlays using asphaltic concrete are entirely possible during nighttime. (Author)
