Indiana I-69 Corridor Project; Section 6; Morgan/Johnson/Marion counties

 

The asphalt paving operation of State Road 39 in Martinsville, Indiana, on a warm Thursday evening in late October; looking northwest.

One paving machine is parked at the left; the other is just left of the yellow steamroller on the right edge of the picture. Meanwhile the workers with hand tools make last minute preparations before the gravel layer is buried by the hot asphalt for many years to come.

On a cool day the warmth of the steaming asphalt offers a pleasant, if smelly, moderating effect on the ambient air temperature. In summertime the radiant heat is less welcome, by contrast.

Rolling the smooth paved sections helps to join each 12 to 14 foot lane to the one next to it in order to form a whole. So the steamrollers work around and near the paver to do their work while the surface is still at its highest temperature. The tandem pavers quickly fill the prepared roadbed with their asphalt layers.

This photo shows the asphalt delivery truck with its rear door open and the built-in conveyor belt sending hot asphalt into the hopper of the paver's front end. The driver sits highest on the rig, driving from right or left seat, according to the conditions. The assistant operator who controls the side width makes sure that the asphalt pushed out by the machine's auger will fill perfectly to the width of the street edge.

Paver continues on while the delivery trucks change.

The big wagon brings 41 tons of heated blacktop directly to the paving machine so that the first layer of street surface can be laid without seam or break from the work up to this spot. Later the finishing surface will join the first layer to create a durable surface for all seasons. Much of the material in the hot mix is recycled from older street surfaces that have been removed elsewhere. The broken pieces are ground into a uniform aggregate and then added the the petroleum-based black binder; see, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt

A Gomaco GT-3600 paving machine ready to form curbs and gutters. Project 365 231/365.

The driver dictates starting and stopping, paving and reloading, as well as overall positioning and pace of the paving work. The high position of the seat on top gives a good overview. Then an assistant on each corner flank can fine-tune the width of the paving run. The operator on the far side joins this run to the section of street that was paved to begin with. The operator on the near corner makes sure the asphalt fills the gap into the cement gutter.

At the peak of the paving operation both machines were in motion, closely followed by two or all three of the on site steamrollers. Trucks delivering asphalt were timed to arrive with minimal wait time as one truck emptied, the next was ready to step into its place, and a third one was arriving to carry the relay onward. The size, expense, and finely tuned coordination of all these moving parts is impressive to watch.

In the foreground there is a gritty layer of excess asphalt showered on top of the paving machine's first layer of asphalt. When the steamroller is done the surface will be perfectly smooth and ready to receive the final layer of asphalt to bring the finished street surface up to the level of the cement gutter.

That's what his buddies called him when he asked me to take his picture.

The wagon is churning out its load of asphalt to the larger of the two paving machines in this photo. Soon the smaller machine will also receive its asphalt to the straight section of street can be covered in short order, first with one layer and then with another.

The thin tar-like spray completely covers the cut edge of the old street surface to that the hot asphalt will fuse with the solution and bind with the old asphalt, thus keeping water for gathering and turning to ice in the cold weather, thus expanding and bursting the street material.

My neighborhood is about to be invaded. Not surprising, since there is an election coming. I don't know why there is so much street and sidewalk maintenance on election years (or why there is so little other years), but the pattern is consistent.

The business end of the paving machine is under the operator's position and near the assistant's platform shown here. For something so massive it is surprising how finely controlled the placement and volume of material is.

Corner piece shown here are difficult to fill by machine alone. Instead the driver dumps a quantity of the heavy black material so that the workers with rakes can distribute it evenly. That way the steamroller can move from one end of the fresh pavement to the other in uninterrupted motion, compacting the unbroken street surface.

A hole in a paving machine has been filled with artistry and tender loving care. I especially like the yellow-coloured calking.
