    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines requirements for the transport, laying and compaction of those asphalt mixtures conforming to BS EN 13108-1, BS EN 13108-4 and BS EN 13108-5, described in PD 6691, from the time that they leave the mixing plant until they are placed on the road ready to receive a superimposed layer or traffic. It also includes requirements for preliminary work at the laying site needed to ensure that the substrate is fit to receive the asphalt and for the application of tack coats and bond coats.
