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.
