Rill <br />1 3.03 BACKFILL AND FILL <br />A. Place specified soil material in layers to required subgrade elevations: <br />1. In excavations, use satisfactory excavated or borrow material. <br />2. Under grassed areas, use satisfactory excavated or borrow material. <br />3. Under walks and pavements, use subbase material, or satisfactory <br />excavated or borrow material, or combination of both. Place shoulders <br />along edges of subbase course to prevent lateral movement with <br />satisfactory excavated or borrow material. <br />4. Under steps, use subbase material. <br />5. Under building slabs, use drainage fill material. <br />6. Under piping and conduit, use subbase material where subbase is <br />indicated under piping or conduit; shape to fit bottom 90 degrees of <br />cylinder. <br />B. Backfill excavations as promptly as work permits, but not until completion of the <br />following: <br />1. Acceptance of construction below finish grade including waterproofing <br />and perimeter insulation. <br />2. Inspection, testing, approval, and recording locations of underground <br />utilities. <br />3. Removal of shoring and bracing, and backfilling of voids with satisfactory <br />materials. <br />E <br />1 06/07 02200 -4 03 -4197 <br />C. <br />Remove vegetation, debris, unsatisfactory soil materials, obstructions, and <br />deleterious materials from ground surface prior to placement of fills. Plow strip, <br />or break -up sloped surfaces steeper 'than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal so that fill <br />material will bond with existing surface. <br />D. <br />When existing ground surface has a density less than that specified for particular <br />area classification, break up ground surface, pulverize, moisture - condition to <br />optimum moisture content, and compact to required depth and percentage of <br />maximum density. <br />E. <br />Place backfill and fill materials in layers of 8 in. loose depth for material <br />compacted by heavy compaction equipment, and 4 in. in loose depth for material <br />compacted by hand operated tampers. <br />F. <br />Before compaction, moisten or aerate each layer as necessary to provide <br />optimum moisture content. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that <br />are muddy, frozen, or contain frost or ice. <br />G. <br />Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, without wedging <br />against structures or displacement of piping or conduit. Compaction equipment <br />used within 10 ft. of buried walls and soil supported structures shall not exceed <br />2000 lbs. <br />E <br />1 06/07 02200 -4 03 -4197 <br />
