The subject mix designs which had expired and resubmitted by IC are being reviewed by Saudi Aramco while various comments on the submittal have already been communicated to IC for compliance. 

Until the approval is issued by PMT, IC is advised not to restart asphalt laying activities which were stopped by IC earlier due to delayed base course works and non-availability of the asphalt subcontractor. 

An NCR has already been issued by Saudi Aramco for using un-approved mix designs according to SAES-Q-006 & SAEP-381 APP D; and IC has been asked via separate email to provide an ACD. Any further violation related to the asphalting activity may result in issuance of a worksheet.
