The inspection of the plant for conformance with the requirements of the contract specifications may be performed concurrently with the calibration of installed proportioning devices and, ultimately, the approval of the material plant.

If the dynamic testing of the material plant is not completed on the initial plant site visit, the contractor shall notify the WMC, no less than 10 calendar days in advance of production startup, for the completion of the dynamic testing of plant facilities.

The Standard Specifications do not require the plant inspector to perform a sieve analysis on the RAP material. However, in order to determine the combined gradation, the gradation of the RAP is needed. Therefore, the plant inspector should either perform a sieve analysis or use the contractor’s results.

The plant inspector will accept truck shipments of binder on the basis of the supplier’s certification of specification compliance (see Standard Specification Section 1015.2.2.1). The certifications will serve as inspection reports. These materials may be used immediately in the project.
