The importance of the tack coat application between asphalt pavement layers cannot be stressed enough. Understanding that a properly designed pavement structure will only function optimally if there is proper drainage, proper selection of materials for the aggregate base course, proper thickness of pavement layers, and that those pavement layers all function monolithically to withstand the lifetime of repetitious loading that the roadway is expected to receive. This video stress the importance of properly applying an asphalt emulsion tack coat and what a proper tack application looks like.

.22 / .25 litres per square meter if anyone in Canada is wondering. We dont use gallons per square yard up here.

Tack truck driver of 5 years here. I originally operated out of Texas spraying multiple types of emulsions, but now that I operate out of Northern Georgia we spray asphalt cement typically applied at 375°Fahrenheit. All of the luxury of shifting, lowering, and lifting the bars at that temperature and with AC material becomes dangerous due to a history of o-seals rupturing either end of the drop tubes. Do you have any suggestions?

Greg, Spraying straight asphalt has many bonuses, but as you mentioned, some hazards. I foresee a day when the tack truck will be able to apply a void-reducing membrane on the longitudinal joint simultaneously with the tack on the remaining mainline. A single application temperature would be needed for a two-material system. The key to operating at those elevated temperatures is keeping the temperatures at the minimum needed to have the pumpability of your materials while not clogging your nozzles. Second is maintenance to your system including the nozzles. Keep them free flowing so we can keep the pressures at the minimum needed for proper application. Thank you for doing a great job and please be safe out there!!! -Marshall

Hello Marshal, Do you see an issue applying tack coat one (1) day in advance due to cold temps? Assume zero traffic on the tack in this period as the road is closed...

@MarshallKlinefelter 2 жыл бұрын

Ryan, not at all as long as you can keep the tack clear of foreign debris. I have been on a job where we were required to tack in advance on an airport runway, and after the crews left, airport maintenance crews mowed a nearby field and tumble weeds covered the entire mat. It heavily delayed the paving operations while the surface was cleaned and retacked.

Why is the driver overspraying so much?

@MarshallKlinefelter 2 жыл бұрын

Good question... They were spraying at 50% of the typical rate so that we could clearly show the distinguishing features of the tack prior to breaking and setting. When they finished they had the unpaved areas properly coated at a rate on the high end of the specification.
