Specification for the reinstatement of openings in highways


Book Description

This code of practice sets out the statutory requirements for materials, performance and standards of workmanship for use in association with street works by utilities and other undertakers with apparatus in the street. It applies in England only and comes into effect on 1 October 2010, when it replaces the 2nd edition (2002, ISBN 9780115525384).













Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways


Book Description

Prepared by a working party of the Highway Authorities and Utilities Committee (HAUC), this Code sets out the specifications for street reinstatement by contractors. This edition incorporates an expanded section on ancillary activities such as road markings, and new performance specification for compaction (including void content measurement).







Asphalt Surfacings


Book Description

Asphalt Surfacings has been written as a reference to the various asphalt course materials and surfacing treatments that are currently available to engineers, enabling them to select the materials and/or treatment that are appropriate for use on specific sites. Appropriate reference is made to the lower structural layers as the properties of all layers interact in producing the required pavement. The current established position in the UK and the emerging developments throughout the UK and Europe are covered. The contributors are all acknowledged authorities on their particular topics selected from every part of the highway engineering industry to achieve a balance between the various approaches required by the different functions they perform.




8th RILEM International Symposium on Testing and Characterization of Sustainable and Innovative Bituminous Materials


Book Description

This work presents the results of RILEM TC 237-SIB (Testing and characterization of sustainable innovative bituminous materials and systems). The papers have been selected for publication after a rigorous peer review process and will be an invaluable source to outline and clarify the main directions of present and future research and standardization for bituminous materials and pavements. The following topics are covered: - Characterization of binder-aggregate interaction - Innovative testing of bituminous binders, additives and modifiers - Durability and aging of asphalt pavements - Mixture design and compaction analysis - Environmentally sustainable materials and technologies - Advances in laboratory characterization of bituminous materials - Modeling of road materials and pavement performance prediction - Field measurement and in-situ characterization - Innovative materials for reinforcement and interlayer systems - Cracking and damage characterization of asphalt pavements - Recycling and re-use in road pavements This is the proceedings of the RILEM SIB2015 Symposium (Ancona, Italy, October 7-9, 2015).




Practical Guide to Street Works


Book Description

This publication contains practical good practice guidance for use by site operatives and supervisors involved with street works under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. This guide includes relevant reference material from the code of practice "Specification for the reinstatement of openings in highways" (2002, ISBN 0115525386) which has been approved under s. 71 of the 1991 Act, but this guide is not intended as a replacement or abbreviated version of the Code. The guide covers the process from signing and excavating issues to reinstating and leaving the finished site, and for each section information is given on specification details and key tasks, as well as health and safety issues.
