Observations/Finding

On the above date the writer was on site as requested and attended a meeting with Paulding co. members and NWGP to discuss asphalt deficiencies and repairs at east and west sides deceleration lanes. Paulding Co. made issues with in place topping mix stating that a traffic roller wasn’t used during 12.5 topping mix and also stated that it appeared that a binder mix was placed instead of the required topping mix based on a gradation report and appearance showing minor surface cracking.Paulding Co. recommended to remove all 12.5 topping mix and replace.Also one section on Seven Hills Blvd. near exit lane from site was recommended to be milled 9.5″ and replaced with 8.0″ of class B concrete and capped with 1.5″ of 12.5 topping mix. The paving contractor was informed to notify ASEC for repair placement.
