  • D) Pavement Milling Machine
    COUNCIL WORKSHOP ITEM ITEM: Recommendation to Purchase a Pavement Milling Machine DATE: 6/5/01 PREPARED BY: Jack J. Bajor, Jr., Director of Public Works Rick Ebel, Pavement Division Manager PURPOSE: Street Pavement Maintenance BID AMOUNT: $ 184,700.00 BUDGET AMOUNT: $ 190,000.00 DISCUSSION: Beginning in the mid-nineties the Public Works Department began discussions on methods of improving the effectiveness and efficiency of our in-house patching and pavement work. Discussions quickly turned to milling or grinding pavement patch areas to a depth of two (2) inches, rather than doing full depth patches of the pavement surface. Pavement thicknesses in Downers Grove are quite variable commonly ranging in depth from six (6) to ten (10) inches. So for a pavement patch of a 10’ X 20’ area, we are removing and replacing approximately 100 to 167 cu.ft. of material with each full depth patch, while the grinder would remove only 33.3 cu.ft. of material for the same 10’ X 20’ patch. Table 1 compares the material volume differences of three patch sizes for full depth patching verses milling. Obviously, if we are taking a greater volume of material out, there is a greater need for the re-installation of new asphalt. On average a three to one reduction can be realized by moving from full depth patching to milling. Additionally, the process to remove a full depth patch is much more labor intensive as the area is first saw cut, then broken out and finally loaded on to a truck with a backhoe. A grinder can complete all three of these steps as it works, again in about a third of the time.

  • Experimental Study on the Dynamics of Washboard Road on Various Surfaces
    Experimental Study on the Dynamics of Washboard Road on Various Surfaces Teeranai SRIMAHACHOTA Candidate for the Degree of Master’s Degree Supervisor: Prof. Shunji KANIE Division of Engineering and Policy for Sustainable Environment Introduction Washboarding is the spontaneous formation of transverse ripple on dirt road. It is usually found on unpaved heavy- traffic road under dry weather condition. Driving over washboard road may increase risk of traffic accident since ripples reduce the contact area of the wheel to the road. Mitigating washboard road has long been a challenge for the road maintenance [1]. In addition, spontaneous formation of ripple pattern similar to washboarding can be found on other physical system; for examples, rail corrugation [2, 3], sand dune [4], lubricated disks [5], and periodic ripples on snow covered road [6]. The mechanism of washboarding was first studied in 1962 Fig. 1. Schematic illustration of the experimental apparatus. by Mather [7], and he concluded that it caused by the (a) top view of the self-rotating track showing several ripples bouncing motion of the wheel excided by random formed on the track.

Refuge roads are those public roads that provide access to or within a unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System and for which title and maintenance responsibility is vested in the United States Government. Funds from the Highway Trust Fund are available for refuge roads and can be used by the station to pay the cost of: (a) Maintenance and improvements of refuge roads. (b) Maintenance and improvements of: (1) Adjacent vehicle parking areas (2) Provision for pedestrians and bicycles and (3) Construction and reconstruction of roadside rest areas that are located in or adjacent to wildlife refuges (c) Administrative costs associated with such maintenance and improvements. The funds available for refuge roads are to be disbursed based on the relative needs of the various refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System, and taking into consideration: (a) The comprehensive conservation plan for each refuge; (b) The need for access as identified through land use planning; and (c) The impact of land use planning on existing transportation facilities.

Ditto, PE Director PAVEMENT MILLING NOTICE Dear Abutting Residents Starting on THURS, JULY 16, and continuing through FRI, JULY 17, weather permitting, the Contractor, Newport Construction Corp, will be milling (grinding) and removing the top several inches of roadway surface on FISHER AVENUE BETWEEN CLINTON ROAD AND BOYLSTON STREET. Roadway grinding operations commence at 7:00 A.M. and will run through 5:00 P.M. daily. This work will be done in four phases as follows: (1) Phase I – Clinton Road to Buckminster Road (Thursday July 16, 2015) (2) Phase II – Buckminster Road to Holland Road (Thursday July 16, 2015) (3) Phase III – Holland Road to Leicester Street (Friday July 17, 2015) (4) Phase IV – Leicester Street to Boylston Street (Friday July 17, 2015) In order to facilitate this activity, there will be roadway closures along Fishers Avenue, and traffic will have to be detoured around the construction activity. A detour plan can be found on the Town’s website at http://www.brooklinema.gov/Fisher-Avenue-Reconstruction/ Residents and Institutions with driveway or private way access on Fisher Avenue should plan to remove their vehicles prior to 7:00 A.M. on work days, as access will be restricted until approximately 5:00 P.M. Please park on an adjacent side street should you anticipate using your vehicle during the work day. Curbside parking will be prohibited within active work zones along Fisher Avenue, but re- open end of work day.

    CURRENT RESIDENT RE: 2021 Street Resurfacing Program-Construction The City of Batavia is pleased to inform you that the street adjacent to your home has been included for resurfacing this year. See the attached exhibit for the limits of the proposed work. The work will generally include curb repairs, sidewalk repairs, utility repairs/adjustments and a new asphalt overlay. Below are some important details regarding this project. CONTRACTOR: The contract has been awarded to Builders Paving Company of Hillside, IL. START DATE: The construction work is tentatively scheduled to begin during the week of August 14. Please visit the Sidewalk and Street Improvements page on the City’s website at http://www.cityofbatavia.net/625/Sidewalk-and-Street-Improvements for updates on the start dates and construction updates for each street. Look under the Street Resurfacing Program. COMPLETION DATE: The completion date for this project is October 1, 2020. The completion date schedule may be adjusted as weather and unforeseen conditions warrant. IMPROVEMENTS & PROCESS: 1. Signage and Saw Cutting: - The first phase of the roadway work will involve the installation of traffic control signs and saw cutting of the concrete curb and sidewalk to be replaced. 2. Curb & Sidewalk Replacement: The next step will involve the removal and replacement of the concrete curb and sidewalk areas that need repairs. Once new materials are replaced, there will be several days of cure time before the next stage of work will begin. 3. Pavement Milling and resurfacing: This operation consists of milling off the top asphalt surface to remove the deteriorating layer.
