SLIP-FORM PAVING-CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES FOR 3-LANE AT A TIME PAVING IN CALIFORNIA
AFTER 5 YR OF USE, SLIP-FORM PAVING NOW ACCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF ALL CONCRETE PAVING IN CALIFORNIA. IT PROVIDES SIGNIFICANT PRODUCTION ADVANTAGES TO THE CONTRACTOR AND BENEFIT OF LESS COST TO THE HIGHWAY USER, AS COMPARED WITH SIDE-FORM PAVING. THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLIP-FORM PAVERS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY EMPLOYED, BUT ONLY ONE IS CAPABLE OF PAVING 3 LANES AT A TIME. THE PROCEDURES UTILIZED ARE NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT THAN THOSE UTILIZED WHEN PAVING NARROWER WIDTHS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF EQUIPMENT. SUCCESSFUL USE OF THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT IS DEPENDENT ON STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED THROUGH A LOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT, TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED FIELD LEVEL SUPERVISION, EXPERIENCED OPERATORS AND MECHANICS, PROPERLY MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT, UNIFORM CONCRETE AT THE PAVER, AND CLOSE ATTENTION TO OPERATIONAL DETAILS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER CONCRETE PLACEMENT. /AUTHOR/
