5
Draw jacket material smooth and tight.
Install lap or joint strips with same material as jacket.
Secure jacket to insulation with manufacturer's recommended adhesive.
Install jacket with 1-1/2-inch laps at longitudinal seams and 3-inch-wide joint strips at end
joints.
Seal openings, punctures, and breaks in vapor-retarder jackets and exposed insulation
with vapor-barrier mastic.
C. Where PVC jackets are indicated, install with 1-inch overlap at longitudinal seams and end
joints; for horizontal applications, install with longitudinal seams along top and bottom of tanks
and vessels. Seal with manufacturer's recommended adhesive.
1. Apply two continuous beads of adhesive to seams and joints, one bead under lap and the
finish bead along seam and joint edge.
D. Where metal jackets are indicated, install with 2-inch ove�lap at longitudinal seams and end
joints. Overlap longitudinal seams arranged to shed water. Seal end joints with weatherproof
sealant recommended by insulation manufacturer. Secure jacket with stainless-steel bands 12
inches o.c. and at end joints.
E. Where PVDC jackets are indicated, install as follows:
1. Apply three separate wraps of filament tape per insulation section to secure pipe
insulation to pipe prior to installation of PVDC jacket.
2. Wrap factory-presized jackets around individual pipe insulation sections with one end
ove�iapping the previously installed sheet. Install presized jacket with an approximate
overlap at butt joint of 2 inches over the previous section. Adhere lap seal using
adhesive or SSL, and then apply 1-1/4 circumferences of appropriate PVDC tape around
ove►iapped butt joint.
3. Continuous jacket can be spiral wrapped around a length of pipe insulation. Apply
adhesive or PVDC tape at overlapped spiral edge. When electing to use adhesives, refer
to manufacturer's written instructions for application of adhesives along this spiral edge to
maintain a permanent bond.
4. Jacket can be wrapped in cigarette fashion along length of roll for insulation systems with
an outer circumference of 33-1/2 inches or tess. The 33-1/2-inch-circumference limit
allows for 2-inch-overlap seal. Using the length of roll allows for longer sections of jacket
to be installed at one time. Use adhesive on the lap seal. Visually inspect lap seal for
"fishmouthing," and use PVDC tape along lap seal to secure joint.
5. Repair holes or tears in PVDC jacket by placing PVDC tape over the hole or tear and
wrapping a minimum of 1-1/4 circumferences to avoid damage to tape edges.

indicate final position.
Perform the following adjustments before operating the system:
1. Open valves to fully open position.
2. Check operation of zone control valves.
3. Set temperature controls so all zones call for full flow.
4. Purge air from piping.
After the concrete or plaster heating panel has cured as recommended by concrete
supplier, operate radiant heating system as follows:
Start system heating at a maximum of 10 deg F above the ambient radiant panel
temperature, and increase 10 deg F each following day until design temperature
is achieved.

2.01 FILL AND EMBANKMENT MATERIAL
Any suitable material or borrow as defined above. Free-running water shall be drained from materials
before placement.
2.02 CONSTRUCTION WATER
Acceptable water shall be provided at Contractor's expense.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.01 EXCAVATION
Unclassified Excavation: All excess or unsuitable excavated materials, including rock and boulders,
that cannot be used in backfill and embankments, shall be disposed of off site. Where shown on
drawings or considered necessary, construct intercepting ditches above top of cut slopes and carry to
outlets near ends of cuts. To blend intersection of cut slopes with slope of adjacent natural ground
surfaces in uniform manner, shape tops of all cut slopes, except those in solid rock, for flattening and
rounding in accordance with details shown on drawings. Treat earth overburden above solid rock cuts
in same manner as earth cut. Engineer reserves the right to change cut slopes during progress of
excavation. Scale all exposed rippable rock cuts of loose, potentially falling rock at Contractor's
expense.
3.02 PROOF ROLLING
Proof rolling will be required to determine whether certain areas of subgrade meet compaction and/or
stable requirements. Proof roll designated areas with heavy rubber-tired roller approved by Engineer.
Areas found to be weak or fail the test shall be repaired in accordance with recommendations by the
Engineer.
3.03 SUBGRADE PREPARATION
Adjust completed subgrade from slope or grade stakes to assure surface width conforms to typical
section, dimensions, lines, and grades on drawings. Compact subgrade in accordance with
compaction requirements.
3.04 EMBANKMENT AND FILL CONSTRUCTION
A. Place earth fill materials for backfill or embankment in thin horizontal layers near optimum
moisture content and compact as specified before next layer is placed. Use effective
spreading equipment on each lift to obtain uniform thickness prior to compacting. As
compaction of each layer p�ogresses, continuously level and manipulate to assure uniform
density. Add or remove water as necessary to obtain ma�amum density. Place embankment in
layers not greater than 12" which have been demonstrated to meet compaction standards.
Occasional cobble and boulder-sized pieces of excavated rocks with sizes from 6" to 12", may
be placed in earth fill if agreed to by Engineer. Space large rocks so compaction of earth fill
will meet compaction requirements.
B. When embankment is to be placed and compacted on hillsides, or when new embankment is
to be compacted against existing embankments, or when embankment is built one-half width
at a time, slopes which are steeper than 4:1 measured longitudinally or at right angles to
roadway shall be continuously benched over as work is brought up in layers. Benching shall
be well keyed into existing slopes a minimum of 8' wide. Begin each horizontal bench at
intersection of original ground and sides of previous benches. Material benched shall be
excavated and recompacted atong with new embankment material at Contractor's e�ense.

2. When seeding prior to installation, all check slots and other areas disturbed must also be
reseeded.
3. When using a TRM and soil filling, seed TRM and entire disturbed area after installation,
prior to filling mat with soil.
Installation on Banks and Slopes
1. Extended blankeUmat 2-3 ft (600-900mm) over crest of slope and excavate a 12x6 in
(300x150mm) terminal anchor trench.
2. Anchor blankeUmaf in trench on 1 ft (300mm) spacings, backfill and compact soil.
3. Unroll blankeUmat down slope with small netting on bottom, large netting on top.
4. Overlap adjacent rolls at least 3 in (75mm), and anchor every 18 in (450mm) minimum
across the overlap. The higher elevation blankeUmat should be placed over the lower
blankeUmat.
5. Overlap blankeUmat edges appro�amately 2 in (50mm) and staple according to anchor
pattern guide. Make sure that edge overtaps are shingled away from prevailing winds.
6. Lay blankeUmat loose to maintain direct contact with soil. (Do not pull blanket/mat taut.
This may allow bridging of soil surface.)
7. Secure blankeUmat to ground surface using U-shaped wire staples (preferred) or
geotextile pins.
8. Refer to manufacturer's recommendation for appropriate number and pattern of anchors.
9. Place outer edge of blanket/mat in previously excavated longitudinal slots, anchor using
prescribed staple pattern, backfill and compact soil.
10. Anchor, backfill and compact upstream end of blankeUmat in a 12x6 in (300x150mm)
terminal trench.
11. Secure blankeUmat to ground surface using U-shaped wire staples(preferred) or
geotextile pins.
12. When using a TRM, seed and fill with soil for enhanced performance.
13. When using a TRM with a geotextile attached. Always seed after installing mat, then fill
with soil.
Installation in Storm Water Channels
1. Excavate an initial anchor trench 12 in (300mm) deep and 6 in (150mm) wide across the
channel at the lower end of the project area.
2. Construct check slots along the channel in the following manner: Excavate i�termittent
check slots 6 in (150mm) deep and 6 in (150mm) wide across the channel at 30 ft(9.1 m)
intervals.
3. Cut longitudinal channel anchor slots 4 in (100mm) deep and 4 in (100mm) wide along
both sides of the installation to bury edges of blankeUmat. Whenever possible e�end mat

4. Beginning at the center if downstream end of the channel, place the end of the first roll in
the anchor trench and secure with fastening devices at 1 ft(300mm) intervals. Note:
blankeUmat will initially be upside down in anchor trench; smaller netting on top.
5. In same manner, position adjacent rolls in anchor trench. Overlapping the preceding roll
minimum of 3 in (75mm).
6. Again, staple at 1 ft (300mm) intervals, backfill and compact soil.
7. Unroll blankeUmat over the compacted trench with smaller netting on bottom, large
netting on top. Stop at next check slot or terminal anchor trench.
8. Unroll adjacent rolls upstream in order to maintain a minimum 3 in (75mm) overlap.
Anchor every 18 in (450mm) minimum across the overlap.
9. Fold and secure blankeUmat rolls snugly into intermittent check slots. Lay blankeUmat in
the bottom and fold back against itself. Anchor through both layers of blanket or mat at 1
ft(300mm) intervals then backfill and compact soil. Continue rolling upstream over the
compacted slot to the next check slot of terminal anchor trench.
10. Overlap roll ends a minimum of 1 ft (300mm) with upstream blankeUmat on top. Begin all
new rolls in a check slot. Anchor overlapped area by placing two rows of anchors, 1 ft
(300mm) apart on 1 ft(300mm) intervals.
Soil Filling
1. If specified, soil filling is recommended for optimum performance.
2. After seeding, spread and lightly rake Y2 - 3/a in (12-19mm) of fine topsoil into the TRM and
completely fill the voids. Use backside of rake or other flat tool.
3. If equipment must operate on the TRM, make sure it is of the rubber-tired type. No
tracked equipment or sharp turns are allowed on the mat.
4. Avoid any traffic over TRM if loose or wet soil conditions exist.
5. Use shovels, rakes or brooms for fine grading and finishing.
6. Smooth soils fill in order to just e�ose the top netting of matrix. Do not place excessive
soil above the mat.
7. Broadcast additional seed and mulch above the soit-filled TRM.
8. Water as necessary to enhance growth.
9. Consult manufacturer's technical representative or local distributor for installation
assistance. Particularly if unique conditions apply (i.e. fine sandy soils, infertile
environment)
3.07 EROSION LOGS

3.02 FRAME ADJUSTMENTS
Set frames of structures to final grade. Place compacted asphaltic concrete to top of frame. If
permanent covers are not in place, provide temporary covers over openings until compaction is
complete. Where frames and covers are paved over, mark so crews can find on emergencybasis until
cut out and adjusted to final surfacing.
3.03 SPREADING AND FINISHING
A. Place at temperatures of not less than 275 degrees F, or more than 305 degrees F. If
temperature is below 50 degrees F and falling, asphaltic concrete mix shall not be less than
300 degrees F, while on trucks just prior to laydown. Mechanical, self-powered pavers shall
be capable of spreading mix within specified tolerances, true to line, grade, and crown as
indicated on drawings. Road grader equipped with automatic blade control may be used for
leveling courses. Pavers shall be equipped with hoppers and distribution screws which place
mix evenly in front of adjustable screeds. Screed shall be adjustable for height and crown,
equipped with controlled heating device for use as required. Screed shall strike off mixwithout
tearing, shaving or gouging surface, to depth and cross-section specified, without aid of
manual adjustment during operation. Paver shall be capable of placing courses in
thicknesses from 1/2" to 4" and from widths of 8' to 15'. Extensions and cut-off shall permit
changes in widths by increments of 6".
B. Strike finish surface smooth; true to cross section; uniform in densiry and texture; free from
hollows, transverse corrugations, and other irregularities. Paint contact surfaces between
gutters, manhole rings, catch basins, and other similar structures with thin, uniform coating of
tack coat. Final surface shall be 1/4" above all structures and gutters sloping away from
paving, flush with gutters sloping towards paving.
C. Hand Placement: Where certain areas because of irregularity, inaccessibiliry, or unavoidable
obstacles, do not lend themselves to machine placement, Engineer may agree to hand
placement. Spread and compact to same finish and compaction tolerances of these
specifications.
D. Joints: Make joints between old and new pavement, or between successive day's work, to
insure thorough bond between old and new surfaces. Clean surfaces free of sand, dirt, dust,
or other materials, and apply tack coat. Construction joints must have same texture, density,
and smoothness tolerances as other surfacing.
Construct transverse joints to existing material by cutting material back to expose full
depth edge. Paint thin uniform tack coat on joint and place new asphaltic concrete.
2. Prepare longitudinal joints by overlapping screed 1" on epsting surface. Deposit
sufficient materia! to complete joint. Push excess by hand rake 1/2" on new mat
leaving vertical uncompacted face appro�amately 1" high. Compact against joint by
rolling equipment. No depression allowed exceeding 1/8" for width of 6", after final
compaction.
E. Finish Tolerance: Place leveling courses within 1/2" of design grade. Finished surfaces will be
tested with 10' straight edge, parallel to center line at location of wheel paths for each lane.
Straight edge will be advanced 5' and space under straight edge shall not exceed 1/4".
Correct areas deficient in smoothness by completely removing surface material and replacing.
Overlay corrections may be made only if approved by Owner.
F. Thickness Tolerance: Compacted thickness shall be no less than that shown on drawings.
Any surfacing which does not meet minimum thickness shall be removed and replaced.

3.04 COMPACTION
A. General: Provide rollers to obtain required density, surface texture, and rideability. Begin
rolling operations immediately following placement of asphaltic concrete. Do not permit heavy
equipment, rollers, etc. to stand on finished surface where deformation may occur. End each
pass of roller in different place.
B. Rollers
Steel-wheel rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under compression
wheels of 250 to 350 psi per inch of width of roller wheel. Rollers equipped with
adjustable scrapers and means for keeping wheel wet to prevent mix from sticking.
2. Pneumatic-tired rollers self-propelled, developing contact pressure under each tire of
85 to 110 psi. Wheels so spaced that one pass will accomplish one complete
coverage equal to rolling width of machine. Wheels oscillate but not wobble.
Remove and replace immediately any tires picking up fines.
C. Compaction Procedures
1. Compact longitudinal joints and edges first, starting at outside edge and gradually
1 progress towards center of pavement. Begin superelevated curves rolling on lowside
on previously transversely compacted material. Successive passes should overlap by
one halt width of roller. Mat temperature must not be below 185 degrees F.

2. Immediately follow rolling of longitudinal joint and edges with breakdown rolling.
Place drive wheel nearest paver and pull roller towards paver. Return roller to
existing surface and make gradual shift to overlap previous pass by half roller width.
Operate pneumatic-tired rollers as close to paver as necessary to obtain density
required. Make enough passes for reasonably smooth surface.
3. Final rolling by a combination of steel and pneumatic rollers to obtain density, surface
texture, and surface tolerances required.
Pavement shall be compacted to a densiry of 92% to 96% of fhe mabmum theoretical density,
determined according to Colorado Procedure 51. Field density determinations will be made in
accordance with Colorado Procedure 44 or 81.
3.05 PATCHING
Cut out and fill with fresh, hot asphaltic concrete. Remove deficient areas for full depth of surface and
base course. Cut sides perpendicular and parallel, and perpendicular to direction of traffic to e�ent of
failure. Apply tack coat to exposed surfaces before placing new pavement. Compact and finish to
specification.
3.06 CLEAN UP
After completing operations, clean surfaces, pick up excess paving materials, and clean work area.

values are required by an accepted curing method.
3.4.4 Protection against freezing - Cure and protect concrete against damage from freezing for a
minimum period of 3 days, unless otherwise specified. Maintain the surface temperature of the concrete
during that period in accordance with Column 2 of Table 3.2.1, unless otherwise specified. The protection
period may be reduced to 2 days if use of one or more of the following to alter the concrete mixture is
accepted:
• Type III portland cement meeting the requirements of ASTM C 150
•, A strength accelerating admixture meeting the requirements of ASTM C 494
• 100 tb/yd3 of additional cement
During periods not defined as cold weather, but when freezing temperatures may occur, protect concrete
surtaces against freezing for the first 24 hr after placing. Any changes in the concrete mix proportions for
reducing the duration of the protection period to prevent early freezing should be submitted for review or
acceptance.
3.4.5 Protection deficiency - If the temperature requirements during the specified protection period are not
met but the concrete was prevented from freezing, continue protection until twice the deficiency of

' 3.1.3 Initiate accepted evaporation control measures when concrete and air temperatures, relative
humidity of the air, and the wind velocity have the capacity to evaporate water from a free water surface
. at a rate that is equal to or greater than 1.0 kg/m2/h (0.2 Ib/ft2/h), unless otherwise specified. Determine
, the evaporation rate of surface moisture by use of the Menzel Formula:
W= 0.315(eo - ea)(0.253 + 0.0601� [SI units]
W= 0.44(eo - ea)(0.253 + 0.096V) [U.S. Customary units]
, where
W= mass of water evaporated in kg (Ib) per m2 (ft2) of water-covered surface per hour;
eo = saturation water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air immediately over the evaporating surface, at
' the temperature of the evaporating surface. Obtain this value from Table 3.1(a) or (b). The temperature of
the evaporating surface shall be taken as the concrete temperature;
ea = water vapor pressure in kPa (psi) in the air surrounding the concrete. Multiply the saturation vapor
pressure at the temperature of the air surrounding the concrete by the relative humidity of the air. Air
' temperature and relative humidity are to be measured at a level approximately 1.2 to 1.8 m(4 to 6 ft)
above the evaporating surface on the windward side and shielded from the sun's rays; and
V= average wind speed in km/h (mph), measured at 0.5 m(20 in.) above the evaporating surface.
,
'
'
3.1.3.1 Monitor site conditions (air temperature, humidity, wind speed) to assess the need for evaporation
control measures beginning no later than 1 hour before the start of concrete placing operations. Continue
to monitor site conditions at intervals of 30 minutes or less until specified curing procedures have been
applied.
3.1.3.2 For measuring the rate of evaporation of surface moisture, use equipment or instruments that are
certified by the manufacturer as accurate to within 1°C (2 °F), 5% relative humidity, and 1.6 km/h (1 mph)
wind speed. Use equipment in accordance with the product manufacturer recommendations.

3.3—Qualification of concrete mixture proportions
3.3.1 Approval of concrete mixture and proposed maximum allowable fresh concrete temperature,
supported by past field experience of Section 3.2.1, shall be based, on similar climate and production
conditions, materials, mixture proportions and temperatures, placing and finishing methods, and concrete
delivery time.
3.3.2 Approval of concrete mixture and proposed maximum allowable fresh concrete temperature,
supported by preconstruction testing of Section 3.2.1, shall require materials similar to those proposed for
use in the project.
3.3.3 Laboratory trial batch—$atch the laboratory concrete trial mixture within 2°C (3 °F) of the proposed
maximum allowable concrete temperature and mix in accordance with ASTM C 192/C 192M, except as
modified herein. If necessary, move the laboratory mixer into an enclosed, heated and ventilated space,
or use heated mixing water, or both, to achieve and maintain the proposed maximum allowable concrete
temperature. For drum-type mixers, the concrete mixture shall remain in the mixer for 47 minutes after
completion of the 3-minute initial mixing period unless specified otherwise. During the 50-minute period,
cover the mixer opening with a non-absorbent material, such as plastic, to prevent moisture loss, and
rotate the mixer continuously at an agitation speed of 6 to 8 rpm. For laboratory mixers without speed
adjustments, simulate agitation by rotating the mixer continuously at a drum angle between 45 and 75
degrees from horizontal. At the end of 50 minutes, mix the concrete mixture at full mixing speed
designated by the manufacturer (8 to 20 rpm) for 2 minutes. For pan-type mixers, the concrete mixture
shall remain in the mixer for 41 minutes after completion of the initial 3-minute mixing period. During the
44-minute period, the mixer shall cycle through periods of rest for 5 minutes, and then mixing for 1
minute. During the rest period, cover the mixer opening with a non-absorbent material, such as plastic, to
prevent moisture loss. At the end of 44 minutes, mix the concrete mixture at full mixing speed designated
by the manufacturer (8 to 20 rpm) for 2 minutes. During mixing and agitation periods for both drum-type
and pan-type mixers, the addition of water, chemical admixture, or both, to adjust slump is permitted
provided that the specified concrete mixture w/cm is not exceeded. As needed, check and adjust the
slump of the concrete mixture during the middle 1/3 of the 50- or 44-minute laboratory trial mixing period.
3.3.3.1 The proposed concrete mixture shall meet the specified slump range at the end of the laboratory
mixing period and meet the required strength at the specified test age.
3.3.4 Field trial batch—�atch the field concrete trial mixture within 2°C (3 °F) of the proposed maximum
allowable concrete temperature in a truck-mixer with a minimum batch size of 3 m3 (4 yd3). If necessary,
move the truck mixer into an enclosed, heated, and ventilated space to achieve a concrete temperature
within the specified tolerance of the proposed maximum allowable concrete temperature. The concrete
mixture shall be held in the mixer for 90 minutes, unless otherwise specified by the Engineer. During the
entire 90-minute period, agitate the mixer at 1 to 6 rpm. At the end of 90 minutes, mix the concrete
mixture at full mixing speed designated by the manufacturer (6 to 18 rpm) for 2 minutes. During mixing
and agitation periods, the addition of water, chemical admixture, or both, to adjust slump is permitted
provided that the specified concrete mixture w/cm is not exceeded. As needed, check and adjust the
slump of the concrete mixture during the middle 1/3 of the 90-minute
mixing period.
3.3.4.1 The proposed concrete mixture shall be within the specified slump range at the end of the 90-
minute field mixing period and meet the required strength at the specified test age.
3.3.5 Test values obtained in accordance with the appropriate ASTM Standard shall include compressive
strength (C 192/ C 192M or C 31/C 31M, and C 39/C 39M), flexural strength (C 192/C 192M and either C
78 or C 293; C 31/C 31 M and either C 78 or C 293), or both; slump (C 143/C 143M); air content (C 231, C
173/C 173M, or C 138/C 138M); concrete density (unit weight) (C 138/ C 138M); and concrete
temperature (C 1064/ C 1064M). Slump, air content, and concrete and air temperature measurements
shall be performed after initial mixing, intermediately as needed or as desired, and at the conclusion of
the mixing period along with the other specified tests.
3.3.6 Acceptance of concrete mixture proportion� Submit to the Engineer for acceptance a request for
a specific higher maximum allowable concrete temperature. Include the constituent materials and
proportions of the proposed co�crete mixture and all values obtained from past field experience or
preconstruction testing. Test results shall be within the Project Specification ranges and tolerances.
3.4--Concrete production and delivery
3.4.1 Concrete shall be produced at a temperature such that its maximum temperature at discharge will
not exceed the specified maximum allowable concrete temperature. Acceptable production methods to

3. The minimum distance from the outside edge of the base to the spikes shall be equal to
the thickness of the base.
3.04 INSTALLATION
A. Spread bedding sand evenly over the base course and screed to a nominal 1 in. (25 mm)
thickness, not exceeding 11/2 in. (40 mm) thickness. Spread bedding sand evenly over the
base course and screed rails, using the rails and/or edge restraints to produce a nominal 1 in.
(25 mm) thickness, allowing for specified variation in the base surface.
1. Do not disturb screeded sand.
2. Screeded area shall not substantially exceed that which is covered by pavers in a day.
3. Do not use bedding sand to fill depressions in the base surface.
B. Lay pavers in pattern specified. Place units hand tight without using hammers. Make horizontal
adjustments to placement of laid pavers with rubber hammers and pry bars as required.
C. Provide joints between pavers between 1/16 in. and 3/16 in. (2 and 5 mm) wide. No more than
5% of the joints shall exceed 1/4 in. (6 mm) wide to achieve straight bond lines.
D. Joint (bond) lines shall not deviate more than t1/2 in. (±15 mm) over 50 ft. (15 m) from string
lines.
E. Fill gaps at the edges of the paved area with cut pavers or edge units.
F. Cut pavers to be placed along the edge with a double blade paver splitter or masonry saw.
G. Adjust pattern at pavement edges such that cutting of edge pavers is minimized.
H. Keep skid steer and forklift equipment off newly laid pavers that have not received initial
compaction and joint sand.
I. Use a low-amplitude plate compactor capable of at least minimum of 4,000 Ibf (18 kN) at a
frequency of 75 to 100 Hz to vibrate the pavers into the sand. Remove any cracked or damaged
pave�s and replace with new units.
J. Simultaneously spread, sweep and compact dry joint sand into joints continuously until full. This
will require at least 4 to 6 passes with a plate compactor. Do not compact within 6 ft(2 m) of
unrestrained edges of paving units.
K. All work within 6 ft. (2 m) of the laying face must shall be left fully compacted with sand-filled
joints at the end of each day or compacted upon acceptance of the work. Cover the laying face
or any incomplete areas with plastic sheets overnight if not closed with cut and compacted
pavers with joint sand to prevent exposed bedding sand from becoming saturated from rainfall.
L. Rerriove excess sand from surface when installation is complete.
M. Allow excess joint sand to remain on surface to protect pavers from damage from other trades.
Remove excess sand when directed by Owner.
N. Surface shall be broom clean after removal of excess joint sand.
3.05 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
A. The final surface tolerance from grade elevations shall not deviate more than ±❑3/8 in. (t10
mm) under a 10 ft(3 m) rigid straightedge. Tolerances on complex contoured slopes should be
measured with a flexible straightedge capable of conforming to the complex curves on the
pavement surface.
B. Check final surface elevations for conformance to drawings. For installations on a compacted
aggregate base and soil subgrade, the top surface of the pavers may be 1/8 to 1/4 in. (3 to 6
mm) above the final elevations after compaction. This helps compensate for possible mino�
settling normal to pavements.
C. The surface elevation of pavers shall be 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. (3 to 6 mm) above adjacent drainage
inlets, concrete collars or channels.
D. Lippage: No greater than 1/8 in. (3 mm) difference in height between adjacent pavers.

pipe diameter to'h inch .
No. 4 0 to 10 30 to 100
No. 200 0 to 5 0 to 50
Minimum Compaction Tamp to spring line to 90% of Standard Proctor
Requirement fill voids below pipe placed at +/- 3% of Optimum
haunches Moisture
The ma�amum particle size of pipe bedding shoutd generally not exceed 1�/z inches or 10 percent of
� the nominal pipe diameter, whichever is less. Bedding for small pipe such as service lines should
generally have a maximum particle size not exceeding 3/a inch. Bedding materials shall be free of
topsoil, organic material, frozen matter, debris, or other deleterious material.
LJ

Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material that
meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should have not
more than 10 percent passing the No. 4(4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5 percent passing
the No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under the haunches of the
pipe to spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing properties of screened
rock when unconfined should be taken into consideration. The District may require soil or select
import. Where groundwater may be present, the use of screened rock for bedding is prohibited.
Compacted pipe bedding should meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II, or
Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percent passing the No. 4
screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base course per
CDOT Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be compacted to a
minimum of 90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content, referencing Standard Proctor
(ASTM D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30 percent passing the No. 4 screen can be
used with the following considerations: materials in #his range can be expected to possess
properties similar to screened rock except that compaction will be required and materials in this
range may be too free-draining to be testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a'h sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT 1999
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be used as
bedding where a combination of ease of placement, low permeabiliry, and unconfined stability is
desired.
Additional Requirements:
-Bedding materials shall be free of topsoil, organic materials, frozen matter, debris, or other
deleterious ma#erials.
-Flow-fi11 as specified by CDOT 1999 Standard Specffications, Section 206.02, may be used with
District approval.

B. Remainder of T�ench: Backfill with same materials excavated from work limits unless
unsuitable. No boulders over 6" in diameter in top 12" trench. No backfill material with
boulders larger than 12" in diameter. Carefully lower boulders larger than 12" in diameter into
trench until backfill is 4' over top of pipe.
3.13 COMPACTION
A. Demonstrate method of compaction. Engineer will test compacted demonstration section for
uniform density throughout depth of each lift. Alter construction methods until acceptable to
Engineer. Continue same procedure until significant change in soils occurs, or compaction is
not being achieved, then demonstrate new method.
B. Compaction requirements for all trenches:
Predominantly cohesive soils where AASHTO T99 procedures are applicable:
Compact uniformly throughout each lift to 95%, AASHTO T99. Moisture content shall
be within 2% of optimum. For clay soils the moisture content shall be 0 to 2% of
optimum.
2. Predominately of rock, to 12" in diameter: Place in loose lifts up to average rock

B. Hydrostatic Testing
General: Make pressure and leakage tests on all newly laid pipe. Test finro or more
valved sections not to exceed 1000 feet. Test first section of pipe laid to verify if
watertight. Lay no additional pipe until first test section has passed tests. Furnish the
following equipment and materials for tests, unless otherwise directed by Engineer:
2 Graduated containers
2 Pressure gauges
1 Suitable hose and suction pipe as required
2. Testing Procedure: Test each 1000 feet of line installed while trench is partially
backfilled and joints are left e�osed for examination for leaks. Do not conduct
pressure tests until 48 hours after placement of concrete thrust blocks. After pipe has
been partially backfilled, slowly let water into line. Vent to allow air in line to be
released. Flush line as necessary for cleaning. Leave water in line for 24 hours prior
to pressure test. Test at 1-1 /2 times working pressure, calculated for low point of test
section, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Valve off pump and hold pressure in line for
test. Test for finro hours or as agreed to by Engineer. At end of test, operate pump
until test pressure is again attained. Calibrate container of water for pump suction to
determine amount of water to replace leakage.

Screened rock used for waterline or sewer pipe bedding should be crushed, angular material that
meets the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IA bedding material. The material should have not
more than 10 percent passing the No. 4(4.75 millimeter) screen, and less than 5 percent passing
the No. 200 (75 micrometer) screen. The bedding should be tamped under the haunches of the
pipe to spring line. Where future excavation is anticipated, the sloughing properties of screened
rock when unconfined should be taken into co�sideration and the use of screened rock is
prohibited in these applications. See sewer pipe bedding detail (S-10).
Compacted pipe bedding shou�d meet the requirements of ASTM D 2321, Class IB, Class II, or
Class III bedding material. The material should have a minimum of 30 percen# passing the No. 4
screen and less than 50 percent passing the No. 200 screen. Class 6 aggregate base course per
CDOT Table 703.2 conforms to this gradation criteria. The bedding should be compacted to a
minimum of 90 percent at +/- 3 percent of optimum moisture content, referencing Standard Proctor
(ASTM D698, AASHTO T99). Material containing 10 to 30 percent passing the No. 4 screen can be
used with the following considerations: materials in this range can be expected to possess
properties similar to screened rock except that compaction will be required and materials in this
range may be too free-draining to be testable for compaction by ASTM D698.
Flow-fill, a'/z sack (50 pounds) per cubic yard lean concrete mix as defined in the CDOT 1999
Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 206.02, may be used as
bedding where a combination of ease of placement, low permeability, and unconfined stability is
desired.
Additional Requirements:
-Bedding materials shall be free of topsoil, organic materials, frozen matter, debris, or other
deleterious materials.
-Flow-fill as specified by CDOT 1999 Standard Specifications, Section 206.02, may be used with
District approvat.
-Ductile Iron Pipe may be required to be encased in loose polyethylene in conformance with
ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5 installation methods, unless site soils and proposed bedding materials
are determined to be non-corrosive to iron pipe when evaluated according to Appendix A of
ANSI/AWWA C105/A21.5.
-Materials not meeting these requirements shall be used only with prior written approval of the .
District.
In specific areas, such as where access is extremely limited, the use of on-site materiats may be
allowed, and, when used, must be on-site 1'h inches minus well-graded screened material, free
from organic materials, chunks of soil, frozen material, debris, or other suitable materials. Use of
on-site bedding material must have prior written District approval.

B. Install to manufacturer's recommendations, continuously upgrade. Bell ends face upgrade.
Prior to making joints, clean and dry all surfaces. Use lubricants in conformance with �
manufacturer's recommendations for insertion of pipe in joint. Set pipe in position and check
line and grade. Keep dirt from entering all exposed pipe ends. Joints watertight.
C. Wyes and Risers for Senrice Connections: Angle upward so 1/8 bend connected to fitting will �
make service line invert equa! to inside crown of sewer main. Where elevation of top of
service is more than 12' below finished grade, install riser pipe as directed by Engineer.
3.06 WATER LINE CROSSING
A.
:
Normal Conditions: Whenever possible, lay water mains over sanitary sewers to provide
vertical separation of at least 18" between invert of water main and crown of sewer.
Unusual Conditions: If above separation cannot be met, use following:
Sewer passing over or less than 18" under water main. Install continuous watertight
pressure pipe C900 PVC or Yelomine until the water and sewer pipe are separated by
more than 10 feet horizontally and or more than 18 inches vertically transition

3.14 FIELD (�UALITY CONTROL
A. Notify Engineer at least 24 hours in advance of pipe being laid in any trench. Cover no pipes
until observed by Engineer. Notify Engineer at least 48 hours before pipe is to be tested.
B. Testing
2
General: Conduct infiltration or exfiltration test for each section between manholes.
Test first section of pipe laid to verify if watertight. Testing may be required during
course of work where infiltration appears to be grater than maximum allowable, or
quality of work is questionable. No sewer line will be accepted where water tightness
tests show leakage exceeding 200 gallons per inch diameter per mile per day. Flush
and clean sewer line prior to testing, wetting pipe, and cleaning out debris. Plug all
pipe outlets to resist test pressure.
�
i
�
�
�
�
��
�
�
Infiltration Test: In high ground water table installation only. Plug upper manhole to �
determine leakage in section of line between consecutive manholes. Record quantiry
of water collected in time period to calculate infiltration rate.
3. Exfiltration Test by Air: Test each section of pipe between consecutive manholes to
determine test duration for section by computation from Air Test Tables. Pressure-
holding time is based on an average holding pressure of 3 psi gauge or a drop from
3.5 psi to 2.5 psi gauge. Add air until internal air pressure of sewer line is raised to
approximately 4.0 psi gauge. After internal pressure of appro�amately 4.0 psi is
obtained, allow time for air pressure to stabilize. Pressure wilt normally show some
drop until temperature of air in test section stabilizes. When pressure has stabilized
and is at or above starting test pressure of 3.5 psi gauge, commence test. Before
starting test, pressure may be allowed to drop to 3.5 psi. Record drop in pressure for
test period. If pressure has dropped more than 1.0 psi gauge during test line has
failed. Test may be discontinued when prescribed test time has been completed even
though 1.0 psi drop has not occurred. ASTM C828 "Low Pressure Air Test for
Sanitary Sewers".
