Surface Preparation

• Clean the road surface using mechanical broom or blower to remove dust, debris, and loose materials.

• Repair any existing potholes, cracks, or structural defects before application.

 Tack Coat Application

• Apply a bituminous tack coat (emulsion or binder) uniformly over the prepared surface using a pressure distributor.

• Allow the tack coat to cure and become tacky before laying the mix.

Tera Surfacing Mix Laying

• Lay the Tera Mix (a premixed bituminous layer with selected aggregates and polymer-modified binder) using a paver for uniform thickness (typically 20–25 mm).

• Ensure even spreading and alignment with the road profile.

Compaction

• Compact the freshly laid mix using a vibratory roller (6–8 Tonne) to achieve the desired density.

• Rolling should be done in multiple passes until no further movement is observed.
