Sweeping Distance from Operation

The sweeping operation should be far enough ahead that the sealing operation is never held up waiting for the sweeper. If conditions are very dusty, sweeping should not be more than one or two shots ahead of the asphalt distributor to prevent dust accumulation between the sweeper and the asphalt distributor. Additional sweeping may be required where dust or dirt is tracked onto the pavement from side roads or private access roads. Hand work may be required.
