�, sides of the trench, a minimum of twelve (12) inches outside the trench walls. The trench shall be
backfilled and the top nine (9) inches shall be filled with required materials as shown on paving
details, compacted and level with the finished street surface. This finished grade shall be
� maintained in a serviceable condition until the paving has been replaced. All residential
driveways shall be accessible at night and over weekends.
� It has been determined by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the strip of
existing HMAC pavement between the existing gutter and the edge of the trench pavement repair
will not hold up if such strip of existing pavement is finro (2) feet or less in width.
�
Therefore, at the locations in the project where the trench wall is three (3) feet or less from the lip
� of the existing gutter, the Contractor shall be required to remove the existing paving to such
gutter. The pavement repair shall then be made from a minimum distance of twelve (12) inches
outside the trench wall nearest the center of the street to the gutter line.
� The pavement shall be replaced within a maximum of five (5) working days, providing job
placement conditions will permit repaving. If paving conditions are not suitable for repaving, in
the opinion of the Owner, the repaving shall be done at the earliest possible date.

made a part of this specification and shall be the minimum goveming requirements for trench
safety.
C. DEFINITIONS:
1. TRENCHES - A trench is referred to as a narrow excavation made below the surFac,e of
the ground in which the depth is greater than the width, where the width measured at the
bottom is not greater tfian fifteen (15) feet.
2. BENCHING SYSTEM - Benching means excavating the sides of a trench to form one or a
series of horizontal level or steps, usually with vertical or near-vertical sutfaces between
levels.
3. SLOPING SYSTEM - Sloping means excavating to form sides of a trench that are inclined
away from the excavation.
4. SHIELD SYSTEM - Shields used in trenches are generally referred to as "trench boxes"
or "trench shields". Shield means a structure that is able to withstand the forces imposed
on it by a cave-in and protect workers within the structure. Shields can be permanent
structures or can be designed to be portable and move along as the woric progresses.
Shields can be either pre-manufactured or job-built in accordance with OSHA standards.
5. SHORING SYSTEM - Shoring means a structure such as a metal hydraulic, mechanical
or timer system that supports the sides of a trench and which is designed to prevent cave-
ins. Shoring systems are generally comprised of cross-braces, vertical rails, (uprights),
horizontal rails (wales) and/or sheeting.
D. MEASUREMENT - Trench depth is the vertical measurement from the top of the existing
ground to the bottom of the pipe or sfh,ictures. The quantity of trench safety systems shall be
based on the linear f0ot amount of trench depth greater than five (5) feet.

DA-2 PiPEENL"AR�GEMENT SYSTEM:
A. GENERAL:
Description: This specification includes requirements to rehabilitate existing
sanitary sewers by the pipe enlargement system, herein called Pipe Bursting or
Pipe Crushing (Pipe Bursting/Crushing). This system includes splitting or bursting
the existing pipe to install a new polyethyle.ne pipe and reconnect existing sewer
service connections.
2. Methods: This section specifies the approVed system method or process to ir�clude
alt labor, materials, tools, equipment and ineidentals necessary to provide for the
complete rehabilitation of deteriorated gravity sewer lines by the Pipe
Bursting/Crushing systems. Approved methods include: the PIM Corporation
(PIM System), Piscata Way, New Jersey; McLat Construction (McConnell System
for Pipe Crushing), Houston, Texas; and Trenchless Repfacement Systems, (TRS
System), Calgary, Canada. Refer to Part D- SPECIAL CONDITIONS D-61
SIBSTITUTIONS for infor'mation regarding pre-approval procedures for alternative
processes.
3. Definition: The Pipe Bursting/Crushing system is defined as the reconstruction of
gravity sewer pipe by installing an approved pipe rriaterial, by means of one of the
T-- � �p�e-approved methods set-�rtfi-in Secfion A.2-of�this spec��cafion-l'�process
involves the �se of a static, hydraulic or pneumatic hammer "moling" device,
suitably sized to break out the old, pipe or using modified boring "knife" with a
flared plug that implodes and crushes the existing sewer pipe. Fvrward- progress
of the "mole" or the "knife" may be aided by the use of hydraulic equipment or
other apparatus, aS specified in the approved methods. The replacement pipe�is
either pulled or pushed into the bore: The method allows for�replacement of• pipe
sizes from 8" through 21" and/or upsizing in va�ying Pncr�ment� up to •21 °. This
specifi�ation is `based on the precedent that the Pipe Bursting/Crushing s;stem
used has been pre-approved by the City of Fort Worth Department of Engineering,
