Sciage soigné d\'enrobé Careful cutting of the tarmac with a saw Explanation: http://www.maxtulsa.com/webroot/blog/using-a-diamond-blade-t... "Cut. Now you're ready to put your saw and diamond blade to work. You'll need to know how deep the surface you're cutting goes, in order to set your saw to the correct setting. Cut one length of the area of asphalt being removed, then stop the blade and lift the saw in order to re-position for your next cut." Though one would saw timber, for asphalt the usual way to put it is "cutting with a saw", rather than "sawing". Don't ask me why! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2019-08-08 08:24:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Asker I think this is the only item in your list that calls for precision in executing it. I really don't think this makes any specific reference to official regulations, safe practices, or standards. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2019-08-12 10:33:44 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I agree with the change from my original "tarmac" to "asphalt" - see discussion of the difference on https://www.uksurfacings.com/whats-difference-tarmac-asphalt... . That webpage also points to a slight complication with US terminology. Note, however, that for airport runways and standings, one still refers to "the tarmac" even if it is really asphalt. |
