The Contractor shall supply a sample of the jointing sand to be used in the
contract prior to delivering any such materials to site and incorporation into the
work. Certificates of test results issued by a recognized testing laboratory
confirming that the samles conform to the requirements of this specifications
shall accompany the sample.
The jointing sand shall be broomed to fill the joints. Excess sand shall then be
removed from the pavement surface and the joining sand shall be compacted
with not less than one (1) Pass by the plate vibrator and joints refilled with
sand to full depth. This procedure shall be repeated until all joints are
completed filled with sand. No traffic shall be permitted to use the pavement
until all joints have been completely filled with sand and compacted.
Both the sand and paver block shall be dry when sand is spread and broomed
into the joints to prevent premature setting of sand.
The difference in level (lipping) between adjacent blocks shall not exceed 3
mm with not more than 1% in any 3 m x 3 mm area exceeding 2 mm.
Pavement which is deformed beyond above limits after final compaction shall
be taken out and reconstructed to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Edge Restraint
Edge restrains need to be sufficiently robust to withstand override by the
anticipated traffic, to withstand thermal expansion and to prevent loss of the
laying course materials from beneath the surface course. The edge restraint
should present a vertical face down to the level of the underside of the laying
course.
The surface course should not be vibrated until the edge restraint, together with
any bedding or concrete haunching, has gained sufficient strength. It is
essential that edge restraints are adequately secured.
