Preparation for a Sprayed Bituminous Surfacing.

Left: Sweeping a gravel pavement
prior to the application of a prime.

Sweeping is usually carried out with
drawn mechanical brooms, although
some hand sweeping is often required
as well.

Right: Damping the pavement.

It is found that a prime or seal will
adhere better to an underlying gravel
pavement if the pavement is slightly damp.

Left: A bitumen road tanker.

Transport of bitumen to the job site will
usually be by rail tanker or road tanker.
