Step 1:
Select a proper stockpile site for aggregates on an asphalt or concrete pad to minimize contamination. The site must be close to potable water source such as fire hydrants.
Step 2:
Traffic control and notify residents: All roads must be closed to traffic for extended periods of time for slurry to properly cure. Residents are notified verbally or by hanging notifications on their front door.
Step 3:
Clean and prep the surface: Sweep, blow or, in extremely dirty conditions, wash the surface.
Step 4:
Protect the utilities: Manholes and water shutoffs are covered prior to applying slurry. They are marked to ensure relocation in the clean up phase.
Step 5:
If needed, tack coat is applied to loose asphalt, raveled areas or concrete surfaces.
Step 6:
Slurry is applied at 1/8â€$ to 3/8â€$ thick. If more than one pass is required the first pass is required to dry to ensure a smooth joint.
Step 7:
After the slurry has dried, the utilities are uncovered and streets are cleaned.
Step 8:
Traffic control barriers are picked up and the roadway is opened for normal traffic.
