Section 3 - Operation
Before Blasting Operations Begin:
• Evaluate the Pavement and Select a Spray Bar.
• Strong pavement withstands high aggression
spray bars. This is generally concrete or new
asphalt.
• Cracked pavement is weak and will require a less
aggressive spray bars.
• Brittle pavement is a challenge and will require
less aggressive spray bars and reduced pressure.
• Consider spray bar width. Choose a spray bar
2” wider than the line being removed to provide
steering tolerance plus slight over spray to reduce
the potential for missed areas and need to back
up and re-do sections.
• Pre-clean the work area with a power broom if
necessary before blasting.
