Rain
No asphalt binders should be applied during rain. If rain
is in the vicinity and predicted for the area, suspension of operations
should be considered.
If an unexpected shower arises during operations, shut off
the asphalt distributor immediately and continue placement of aggregate
until all asphalt has been covered. This area should be rolled well and
watched carefully after opening to traffic. After a rain, always
suspend operations until the pavement has completely dried.
