Scarification and manual debris removal


Explanation:
or 'removal of debris by hand'

From a Word doc.

Removal of Debris: Removal of concrete debris shall be accomplished either by hand or mechanical means capable of removing wet debris and water in the same pass and after the hydro-demolition process to prevent debris from setting or adhering to the surface of the sound concrete. All concrete debris shall become the property of the Contractor and shall be legally disposed of at the contractor’s expense. The contractor shall be responsible for disposing of all debris generated by the scarification operations.

carifyingScarifying is breaking up hard or compactedmaterials, using the scarifier on the grader. A decisionto scarify a road or not depends on the availability ofwater to obtain the proper moisture content of thematerial and the amount of traffic that travels the road.The proper moisture content supports the binding of thematerial required for compaction and is also used as dustcontrol.Just placing fill material on a dirt road to fill the rutsand potholes is a temporary fix. The fill material doesnot bind in the ruts and potholes and, therefore, willNOT remain in place.The proper way to reshape a dirt road full of ruts andpotholes is to scarify the surface to the depth of thedepressions.This breaks up all the compactedsurrounding surface materials. After scarifying thematerial, blade mix the surface materials, reshape theroad, and compact.
