## Plant Site

1.  Which gradation was selected (PCCP sheet 2 & 3)?

    a.  Coarse aggregate\
        (check test results)

    b.  Fine aggregate\
        (check test results)

2.  Are stockpiles neat and regular in form? Have the stockpiles been
    built for the quantity needed for a single day=s production for
    paving or elongated stockpiles from which the approximate tonnage
    required for a single day=s paving operation can be readily
    identified and marked off from the remainder of the stockpile (PCCP
    sheet 4)?

3.  ave stockpiles been built two days in advance of the time they are
    to be used: Was it necessary to separate the coarse aggregates into
    two stockpiles (2\" or 1 2A to No. 4B separate stockpiles) with a
    break at 3/4 inches (PCCP sheet 4)?

4.  Has the air entraining agent been added at the mixer (PCCP sheet 5)?

5.  Has the water source been approved (PCCP sheet 5)?

6.  Has the project engineer approved the mix design (PCCP sheet 7)? Any
    changes to the mix design? If so, were they approved (PCCP sheet 7)?

7.  Has a water reducing agent been included in the mix design? Has
    Pozzolan Type AF@ (Fly Ash) been included in the mix? What percent
    replacement? Is the fly ash coming from one of the UDOT approved
    sources (PCCP sheets 5 & 6)? Has it been pretested by the DOT?

8.  Other fly ash sources must be approved by the project engineer. Have
    any other sources been used, or has the source of supply been
    changed during the life of the project (PCCP sheet 6):

9.  In the batching process, has the cement been introduced before the
    fly ash (PCCP sheet 6)?

10. Are all concrete samples being taken from the trucks at the batch
    plant platform with a square mouth shovel (PCP sheet 7)?

11. Are the slump and air content tests being taken in accordance with
    the contract requirements (PCCP sheet 8)?

12. Have two flexure beams been cast for each day concrete is placed for
    the flexural strength tests (PCCP sheets 10, 13, and 19)?

13. Is the batch plant equipped with the numerical printout device that
    will make a continuous, permanent, and accurate record of the
    weights of cement, gravel, and sand as well as the amount of all
    water ( including water and/or cement added after initial batching),
    and additives used in each batch of concrete with the time of day
    for each batch shown in hours, minutes, and seconds with daily
    accumulated totals (PCCP sheet 9)?

14. Has the contractor furnished telephones so the inspector on the
    platform can communicate with the batch plant operator (PCCP sheet
    9)?

15. Are the trucks used to haul concrete from the batch plant to the
    paver flat bottom end dump trucks with essentially water tight end
    gates (PCCP sheet 9)?

16. Have the beams, scales, and water meters on the batch plant been
    checked and certified by the State Department of Agriculture (PCCP
    sheet 12)?

17. Has the concrete been mixed for 80 records after all the materials
    are in the drum? Based on efficiency tests using design mix
    materials, has the engineer approved a shorter mixing time not less
    than 60 seconds (PCP sheet 12)?

18. Is the mixing water diverted into two separate lines just prior to
    the insertion of water into the mixing drum? Has the air entraining
    agent been injected into one line and the water reducing admixture,
    if used, into the other water line (PCCP sheet 12)?

19. Has the concrete temperature always stayed below 90E F at the batch
    plant platform (PCCP sheet 19)?

20. Are the mixer drums and blades checked frequently during concreting
    operations for build-up of cement and mortar (PCCP sheet 12)?

## Project Site

1.  Has the base surface upon which the concrete is to be placed been
    kept moistened 500 feet in front of the paver without areas of
    standing water (PCCP sheet 10)?

2.  Is the slip-form paver equipped with vibrators meeting the contract
    requirements (PCCP sheet 10)?

3.  Is the discharge of mixed concrete from non-agitating hauling
    equipment and processing by the initial power lay down machine
    accomplished within thirty-five minutes after introduction of the
    mixing water to the cement and aggregates (PCCP sheet 12)?

4.  Has the concrete been deposited in such a manner as to require as
    little re-handling as possible (PCCP sheet 13)?

5.  Has any water been added to the surface behind the final screed on
    the paver (PCCP sheet 13)?

6.  Have tie bars been used for all longitudinal joints and transverse
    contact joints (PCCP sheet 13)?

7.  Has there been any delays in excess of thirty minutes in performing
    the preliminary finishing (PCCP sheet 16)?

8.  Has a drag finish been completed with one trip (burlap or artificial
    turf drag)? Have the transverse grooves been properly placed (PCCP
    sheet 16)?

9.  Has the transverse slump at the pavement shoulders outer one foot
    edge exceeded 2@ in 1 foot before texturing and forming of rumble
    strips (PCCP sheet 18)?

10. Has the curing-sealing compound been applied to the entire pavement
    surface and exposed edges as soon as finishing operations have been
    completed at a rate of one gallon per 100 SF (PCCP sheet 18)?

11. Has the compound been applied to the entire pavement surface with
    mechanical sprayers? Spraying equipment shall be of the fully
    atomizing type (PCCP sheet 19)?

    met (1/8 inch in 10 feet for 200 feet before and through the contact
    joint) (PCCP sheet 14)?

## Sawing & Sealing

1.  Have the sawed joints been made with suitable power driver saws?
    Does the contractor have a minimum of two working power saws and one
    standby power saw on the project when concrete operations are
    underway (PCCP sheet 14)?

2.  Are all joints immediately flushed with water after sawing (PCCP
    sheet 14)?

3.  Has the sawing of the joints commenced as soon as the concrete has
    hardened sufficiently to permit sawing without excessive raveling
    (PCCP sheet 14)?

4.  Have all joints been sawed within the following time schedule after
    the pavement is placed (PCCP sheets 14 & 15):

  ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------
  Transverse               1^st^ stage as soon as possible\
                           2^nd^ stage not before 7 days

  Longitudinal             As soon as possible
  ------------------------ ----------------------------------------------

    stage sawing of all loose debris, cement power, etc., with a jet of
    water at 2,000 psi minimum pressure (PCCP sheet 15)?

7.  Have the joints been blown with air at a minimum of 100 psi just

8.  Have all the transverse joints been filled with a joint sealant and
    have all the longitudinal joints been filled with sealant? Do they
    have the proper clearance (PCCP sheets 15 & 16)?
