At the time of installation, the geotextile shall be rejected if it has defects, rips, holes,. flaws, deterioration or damage incurred during manufacture, transportation or storage. The surface to receive the geotextile shall be prepared to a relatively smooth condition free of obstructions, depressions, debris, and soft or low density pockets of material. Erosion features such as rills, gullies, etc. must be graded out of the surface before geotextile placement. The geotextile shall be placed with the long dimension perpendicular to the centerline of the channel and laid smooth and free of tension, stress, folds, wrinkles, or creases. The strips shall be placed to provide a minimum width of 24- inches of overlap for each joint. Temporary pinning of the textile to help hold it in place until the rock riprap is placed. The temporary pins shall be removed as the riprap is placed to relieve high tensile stress which may occur during placement of material on the geotextile. The specified placement procedure requires that the length of the geotextile be greater than the actual slope length. The Contractor shall adjust the actual length of the geotextile used based on initial installation expenence. The geotextile shall b� protected at all times during construction from contamination by surface runoff and any geotextile so contaminated shall be removed and replaced with uncontaminated geotextile. Any geotextile damaged during its installation or during placement of riprap shall be replaced by the ASC-5 aar�e✓s� ■J PART DA - ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS Contractor at no cost to the Owner. The work shall be scheduled so �that the covering of the geotextile with a layer of the specified material isi accompiished within seven (7) calendar days after placement of the geotextile. Failure to comply shall require replacement of geotextile. The geotextile shall be protected from damage pnor to and during the placement of rock riprap. Before placement of gabion units, the Contractor shall demonstrate that the placement technique will prevent damage� to the geotextile. In no �ase shall any type of equipment be allowed on the unprotected geotextile. 3. RIPRAP PLACEMENT: Stone for riprap shall be placed on the filter fabric blanket in such a manner as to produce a reasonably well'graded mass of rock with the minimum practicable percentage of voids and shall be constructed within the specified tolerance to the lines and grades shown on the drawings. Then intent of these specifications is to require placement of nprap to the thickness shown and to allow isolated stones to extend as much as six inches above grade. Riprap shall be placed to its full course thickness at one operation and in such a manner as to avoid displacing the fabric. The larger stones shall be well distributed and the entire mass of stones in their final position shall conform to the gradation specified hereinbefore. The finished riprap shall be f`ree,from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other source, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final pfacing, or by other methods of placement which will produce the specified results. Rearranging of individual stones, by mechanical equipment or by hand will be required to the extent necessary to obtain a reasonably well graded distribution of stone specified above. The Contractor shall maintain the riprap protection until accepted. Any material displaced by any cause-shall be replaced at his erosion to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings. 4. GROUT PLACEMENT: Grout shall be composed of cement, water and air-entraining admixture and sand mixed in the proportions of 1 part of Portland cement to 3 parts of sand, sufficient water to produce a wo�Cable mixture, and that amount of admixture which will entrain sufficient air to produce durable grout, a's determined by the ENGINEER. Sand for grouting shall conform to the requirements of paragraph: FINE AGGREGATE. The grout shall be mixed in a concrete mixer in the manner specified for concrete except that the time of mixing shall be increased to that necessary to produce a mixture having a consistency such as to permit gravity flow into the interstices of the riprap with the help of limited spading and brooming. The grout shall be used in the work within a period of one (1) hour after mixing. Retempering of ground will not be permitted. Riprap shall not be grouted when the ambient temperature is below 35 degree F. or above 95 degrees F. unless approved by the ENGINEER in writing; nor when the grout, without special protection, is likely to be subjected to freezing temperatures before�final set has occurred. Prior to grouting, all surfaces of'� riprap shall be wetted. The riprap shall be grouted in successive longitudinal strips, approximately 10 feet in width, commencing at the. lowest strip and working up the slope. Grout shall be brought to the place of final deposit by approved means, and in,no case will grout be permitted to,flow on the riprapped surface a distance in excess of 10 feet. Immediately after dumping the batch of grout, it shall be distnbuted over the surface of the strip by the use of brooms and the grout worked into place between stones with suitable spades, trowels, or vibrating equipment. As a final operation, the grout shall be removed from the top surfaces of the upper stones and from pockets and depressions in the surface of the stone protection. After completion of any strip as specified, no workman or any load shall be permitted on the grouted surface for a period of at least 24 hou�s.
