Following the initial routing and cleaning operation all joints and cracks will be heat lanced to clean and remove moisture. Heat lancing may be deemed unnecessary by the Inspector if pavement is sufficiently dry. Both side walls of the cracks and joints must be refaced with the router to assure optimum sealant adhesion. The joints and cracks shall be inspected and approved by the Inspector prior to placing the crack sealant material. Final joint and crack cleaning will be the same day of the sealing operation except as otherwise approved by the Inspector.
Cleaning and sealing joints and cracks to be paid for shall be the actual number of lineal feet, pounds of sealant, or pavement surface of joints and cracks routed, cleaned, heat lanced and sealed and accepted by the Inspector.
