IT IS BETTER FOR YOU TO CHECK WITH THE WEATHER FIRST BEFORE REQUESTING THE HOT MIX ASPHALT. SEE TO IT THAT EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON SITE IS READY AND PREPARED OTHERWISE THE DAMAGES WILL BE CHARGE AGAINST YOU.

main factors to be considered before requesting delivery is the weather conditions . even if the HMA meets the requirements if the weather condition is worse we cannot pave the asphalt . secondly the road surface should be cleaned using a compressor to remove dust and gravel particles on the road . this should be done before mc 1 and later before paving . then comes all other factors of HMA
