1/32-inch and forms for plane surfaces shall be such that the concrete
will be plane within 1/16-inch in 4 feet. Forms shall be tight to
prevent the passage of mortar and water and grout.
D. Forms for walls shall have removable panels at the bottom for
cleaning, inspection, and scrubbing -in of bonding paste. Forms for
walls of considerable height shall be arranged with tremies and
hoppers for placing concrete in a manner that will prevent segregation
and accumulation of hardened concrete on the forms or
reinforcements above the fresh concrete.
E. Molding or bevels shall be placed to produce a 3/4 -inch chamfer on all
exposed projecting corners, unless otherwise shown on the Drawings.
Similar chamfer strips shall be provided at horizontal and vertical
extremities of all wall placements to produce "clean" separation
between successive placements as called for on the Plans.
F. Forms shall be sufficiently rigid to withstand vibration, to prevent
displacement or sagging between supports, and constructed so the
concrete will not be damaged by their removal. The Contractor shall
be entirely responsible for their adequacy.
G. Forms, including new pre -oiled forms, shall be oiled before
reinforcement is placed, with an approved nonstaining oil or liquid
form coating having a non - paraffin base.
H. Before form material is re -used, all surfaces in contact with concrete
shall be thoroughly cleaned, all damaged places repaired, all projecting
nails withdrawn, all protrusions smoothed and in the case of wood

ties.
3.07 PLACING AND COMPACTING
A. Unless otherwise permitted, the work begun on any day shall be
completed in daylight of the same day.
B. Concrete is not to be placed until reinforcing steel, pipes, conduits,
sleeves, hangers, anchors and other work required to be built into
concrete have been inspected and approved by the Engineer. Remove
water and foreign matter from forms and excavation. All soil bottom
for slabs and footings shall be approved by the Engineer before placing
concrete.
C. Transport concrete from mixer to place of final deposit as rapidly as
practicable by methods which prevent separation of ingredients and
displacement of reinforcement, and which avoid rehandling. Partially
hardened concrete is not to be used.
D. "Cold joints" are to be avoided, but if they occur, are to be treated as
bonded construction joints.
E. At construction joints the surfaces of the concrete already placed,
including vertical and inclined surfaces, shall be thoroughly cleaned of
foreign materials and laitance, and weak concrete and roughened with
suitable tools to expose a fresh face. At least two hours before and
again shortly before the new concrete is deposited, the joints shall be
saturated with water. After glistening water disappears, the joints
shall be given a thorough coating of neat cement slurry mixed to the
consistency of very heavy paste. The surfaces shall receive a coating
at least 1/8-inch thick, well scrubbed -in by means of stiff bristle
brushes whenever possible. New concrete shall be deposited before
the neat cement dries.
F. Deposit concrete to maintain, until the completion of the unit, a
horizontal plastic surface. Vertical lifts shall not exceed 24- inches and
preferably 18- inches.
G. Chutes for conveying concrete shall be of U- shaped designed and
sized to insure a continuous flow of concrete. Flat (coal) chutes shall
09/03 03300 -11 03- 3148.A -R
' not be employed. Chutes shall be metal or metal -lined and each
section shall have approximately the same slope. The slope shall not
be less than 25 nor more than 45 degrees from the horizontal and
ishall be such as to prevent the segregation of the ingredients. The
discharge end of the chute shall be provided with a baffle plate or
spout to prevent segregation. If the discharge end of the chute is
more than 5 feet above the surface of the concrete in the forms, a
spout shall be used, and the lower end maintained as near the surface
of deposit as practicable. When the operation is intermittent, the
chute shall discharge into a hopper. Chutes shall be thoroughly
cleaned before and after each run, and the debris and any water shall
be discharged outside the forms. Concrete shall not be allowed to
flow horizontally over distances exceeding 5 feet.
H. In thin sections of considerable height, concrete shall be placed using
suitable hoppers, spouts with restricted outlets, or otherwise, as
required or approved.
I. Concrete during and immediately after depositing shall be thoroughly
compacted by means of suitable tools. Internal type mechanical
vibrators shall be employed to produce required quality of finish.
tVibration shall be done by experienced operators under close
supervision and shall be carried on long enough to produce
homogeneity and optimum consolidation without permitting
segregation of the solid constituents of "pumping" or migration of air.
All vibrators shall be supplemented by proper wooden spade puddling
adjacent to forms to removed included bubbles and honeycomb. This
is essential for the top lifts of walls. All vibrators shall travel at least
10,000 rpm and be of adequate capacity. At least one vibrator shall
be used for every 10 cubic yards of concrete placed. In addition, one
spare vibrator in operating condition shall be on the site.
J. Concrete slabs on the ground shall be well- tamped into place and
foundation material shall be well- tamped, and rolled until thoroughly
compacted prior to placing concrete.
K. Concrete shall be deposited continuously in layers of such thickness
that no concrete will be deposited on concrete which has hardened
sufficiently to cause the formation of seams and planes of weakness
within the section. If a section cannot be placed continuously,
' construction joints may be located at points as provided for in the
Drawings or approved by the Engineer.
1 3.08 CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Protect all concrete work against injury from the elements and
' defacements of any nature during construction operations. Special
09/03 03300 -12 03- 3148.A -R
' 3.09 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A. Except as otherwise specifically authorized by the Engineer, forms
shall not be removed before the concrete has cured as specified above
in subparagraph 3.08C and the concrete has attained a strength of at
least 30 percent of the ultimate strength prescribed by the design, and
' 09/03 03300 -13 03- 3148.A -R
curing procedures shall be implemented as described herein to
minimize the cracking of concrete in water retaining structures.
B.
Concrete placed at air temperature below 40 degrees F shall have a
minimum temperature of 60 degrees F. When the air temperature is
below 40 degrees F and falling, the water and aggregates shall be
heated before mixing. Accelerating chemicals shall not be used
prevent freezing. All concrete shall be so protected that the
'
temperature at the surface will not fall below 50 degrees F for at least
7 days after placing. The Contractor shall submit for approval by the
Engineer the methods he proposes to use against low temperatures.
No salt, manure, or other chemicals shall be used for protection.
!
C.
All concrete, particularly exposed surfaces, shall be treated
to
immediately after concreting or cement finishing is completed
provide continuous moist curing above 50 degrees F for at least 7
days, regardless of the ambient air temperature. Walls and vertical
surfaces may be covered with continuously saturated burlap, or other
approved means; horizontal surfaces, slabs, etc., shall be ponded to a
tdepth
of 1/2 inch or kept continuously wet by use of wet burlap.
1. Slabs of water retaining structures shall be wet cured
continuously with wet burlap or other approved means for a
minimum of 14 days if Type II cement is used for 3 days if Type
III cement is used.
2. Walls of water retaining structures shall have all their exposed
surfaces covered from direct sunlight and forms left in place for
a minimum of 3 days. Curing shall commence within four hours
'
after concrete placement.
D.
In cold weather supplementary continuous warm curing (above 50
degrees F) shall provide a total of 350 -day degrees (i.e., 5 days 70
degrees F, etc.) of heat.
iE.
In hot weather, concrete when deposited shall have a placing
temperature which will not cause difficulty from loss of slump, flash
set or formation of cold joints. In no case shall the temperature of
'
concrete being placed exceed 90 degrees F.
F.
Finished surface and slabs shall be protected from the direct rays of
'
the sun to prevent checking and crazing.
' 3.09 REMOVAL OF FORMS
A. Except as otherwise specifically authorized by the Engineer, forms
shall not be removed before the concrete has cured as specified above
in subparagraph 3.08C and the concrete has attained a strength of at
least 30 percent of the ultimate strength prescribed by the design, and
' 09/03 03300 -13 03- 3148.A -R
not before reaching the following number of day- degrees (whichever is
the longer):
Forms for Day- Degree*
Beams and slabs 500
Walls and vertical surfaces (non -
water retaining) 100
Walls and vertical surfaces (water
retaining) 150
*Day- degree: Total number of days times average daily air
temperature at surface of concrete. For example, 5 days at a daily
weighted average temperature of 60 degrees F equal 300
day- degrees. Temperatures below 50 degrees F not to be included.
' B. Shores shall not be removed until the concrete has attained at least
60% of the specified strength and also sufficient strength to support
safely its own weight and the construction live loads upon it, but
concrete shall be minimum age of 14 days before such removal.
t
3.10 FAILURE TO MEET REQUIREMENTS
' 09/03
A. Should the strengths shown by the test specimens made and tested in
accordance with the above provision fall below the values given in
Table A, the Engineer shall have the right to require changes in
proportions as outlined above to apply to the remainder of the work.
Furthermore, the Engineer shall have the right to require additional
curing on those portions of the structure represented by the test
specimens which failed, the cost of such additional curing to be at the
Contractor's expense. In the event that such additional curing does
not give the strength required, as evidenced by core and /or load tests,
the Engineer shall have the right to require strengthening or
replacement of those portions of the structure which fail to develop
the required strength. The cost of all such core borings and /or load
tests and any strengthening or concrete replacement required because
strengths of test specimens are below that specified, shall be entirely
at the expense of the Contractor. In such cases of failure to meet
strength requirements the Contractor and Engineer shall confer to
determine the adjustment, if any, can be made in conformity with
Sections 16 and 17 of ASTM Specification C94 for Ready -Mixed
Concrete.
B. When the tests on control specimens of concrete fall below the
required strength, the Engineer will permit check tests for structure in
accordance with ASTM Methods C42 and C39. In case of failure of
the latter, the Engineer, in addition to other recourses, may require, at
03300 -14 03- 3148.A -R
beams,
the Contractor's expense, load tests on any one of the slabs,
and columns in which such concrete was used. Test need not be
'
made until concrete has aged 60 days.
C.
Slabs or beams, under load test, shall be loaded with their own
weights plus a super- imposed load of 2 times design live load. The
load shall be applied uniformly over portion being tested in approved
manner, and left in position for 24 hours. The structure shall be
considered satisfactory if deflection "D" in feet, at end of 24 -hour
period does not exceed value:
D equals 0.001 (L x L) /t
in which "L" is span in feet, "t" is depth of slab or beam in inches.
D.
If deflection exceeds "D" in the above formula, the concrete shall be
considered faulty unless within 24 hours after removal of the load,
slab or beam under test recovers at least 75% of observed deflection.
E.
Should the strength of test cylinders fall below 60% of the required
minimum 28 -day strength, the concrete shall be rejected and shall be
'
removed and replaced.
3.11 PATCHING AND REPAIRS
A.
It is the intent of these Specifications to require that forms, mixture of
concrete and workmanship shall be such that concrete surfaces, when
exposed, will require minimal finishing as specified in Paragraph 3.05
above.
t
B.
As soon as the forms have been stripped and the concrete surfaces
left by
exposed, fins and other projections shall be removed, recesses
the removal of form ties (except where ties are left in place during
sandblasting) shall be filled and surface defects which do not impair
structural strength shall be repaired. Clean all exposed concrete
surfaces and adjoining work stained by leakage of concrete, to
'
approval of the Engineer.
C.
Immediately after removal of forms remove plugs and break off metal
'
ties as required by Paragraph 3.06. Holes are then to be promptly
filled upon stripping as follows: Moisten the hole with water, followed
by a 1/16 inch brush coat of neat cement slurry mixed to the
'
consistency of a heavy paste. Immediately plug the holes with 1 1.5
mixture of cement and concrete sand mixer slightly damp to the tough
'
(just short of "balling "). Hammer the grout into the hole until dense,
and an excess of paste appears on the surface in the form of a spider
web. Trowel smooth with heavy pressure. Avoid burnishing.
'
03300 -15 03- 3148.A -R
09/03

D. Rub lightly with a fine carborundum stone at an age of I to 5 days if
' necessary to bring the surface down with the parent concrete.
Exercise care to avoid damaging or straining the virgin skin of the
surrounding parent concrete. Wash thoroughly to remove all rubbed
' matter.
E. Defective concrete and honeycombed areas shall be chipped
' reasonably square and at least 1 inch deep to sound concrete by
means of hand chisels or pneumatic chipping hammers. Irregular voids
or surface stones need not be removed if they are sound, free of
laitance, and firmly embedded in the parent concrete, subject to
Engineer's final inspection. If honeycomb exists around reinforcement,
chip to provide a clear space at least 3/8 inch wide all around the
steel. For areas less than 1 1/2 inch deep, the patch may be made in
the same manner as described above for filling for tie holes, care being
exercised to use adequately dry (nontrowelable) mixtures and to avoid
sagging. Thick repairs will require build -up in successive 1 1/2 inch
layers on successive days, each layer being applied (with slurry, etc.)
as described above. To aid strength and bonding of the multiple layer
repairs, the Engineer may order the use of Embeco non - shrink, metallic
aggregate by the Master Builders Company, Cleveland, OH or Ironite
' by Fox Industries, Madison IL as an additive as follows:
' Material Volumes Weights
Cement 1.0 1.0
Embeco 0.15 0.25
Sand 1.5 1.5
F. For very heavy (generally formed) patches; the Engineer may order the
addition of pea gravel to the mixture and the proportions modified as
follows:
Material Volumes Weights
Cement 1.0 1.0
Embeco 0.2 0.33
rSand 1.0 1.0
Pea Gravel 1.5 1.5
G. In cases where the Embeco is employed in multiple patches and a
rusty finish is not desired on the surface, such as exposed faces of
walls, etc., the final layer (or at least the final 1/2 inch) shall be
composed of the 1 1.5 grout without Embeco. After hardening, rub
lightly as described above for form tie holes.

3.12 INSTALLATION SCHEDULE
A. Concrete for all structures shall have minimum compressive strength
at 28 days of 4000 psi unless otherwise indicated on the drawings.
3.13 FIELD CONTROL
A. The Contractor shall advise the Engineer of his readiness to proceed at
least one working day prior to each concrete placement. The Engineer
will inspect the preparations for concreting including the preparation of
previously placed concrete, the reinforcing and the alignment and
tightness of formwork. No placement shall be made without the prior
approval of the Engineer.
B. The Engineer may have cores taken from any questionable area in the
concrete work such as construction joints and other locations as
required for determination of concrete quality. The results of tests on
such cores shall be the basis for acceptance, rejection or determining
the continuation of concrete work.
C. The Contractor shall cooperate in obtaining cores by allowing free
access to the work and permitting the use of ladders, scaffolding and
such incidental equipment as may be required. The Contractor shall
repair all core holes to the satisfaction of the Engineer. The work of
cutting and testing the cores will be at the expense of the Owner if
cores test satisfactorily and will be at the expense of the Contractor if
cores test unsatisfactorily.

the permittee in a routine decision making capacity concerning the
manner and method of carrying out the work.
B. The CONTRACTOR shall have a sufficient number of competent workers
on the job at all times to ensure the crossing is made in a timely and
otherwise satisfactory manner. Adequate personnel for carrying out all
phases of the actual crossing operation (where applicable: boring
machine operator, qualified welder(s) for joining additional casing
sections, crane or lift operator for removing spoil material and laborers as
necessary for various related tasks) must be on the job site at the
beginning work. A competent and experienced supervisory representing
the contractor that is thoroughly familiar with the equipment and type of

Il
B. Subsurface Soil and Drainage Investigation - In general, the greatest
influences on the success or failure of an underground crossing are the
existing subsurface soil and water conditions. To correctly plan individual
crossing procedures such as dewatering, use of cutting heads,
positioning of auger within the casing and to accurately locate potential
problem areas, subsurface investigation must be made by the permittee
or his contractor.
C. Dewatering - Evacuation of ground and surface water from jacking and
receiving pits and from path of proposed crossing. Where the ground
water level is above the invert of the proposed crossing, or above the
floor level of the jacking pits, dewatering is necessary to reduce the
water level to below the jacking pit floors and the invert of the proposed
crossing, and must be designed, installed and in operation prior to
beginning the crossing as follows:
1) Except where rock is present throughout the length of the bore
and no likelihood of sand pockets exists.
2) Where the existing ground water level and particular soil type
involved indicates that excessive flowback of spoil material, as the
jacking progresses is likely.
Dewatering shall not be necessary where remote - powered
hydraulic equipment is used to make the crossing underwater.
When dewatering is necessary, and if requested, a plan showing
the proposed method must be submitted to the Local Maintenance
Engineer prior to beginning work. It must be in writing and should
be included with the subsurface investigation report.

i(4) feet from the roadway or shoulder pavement edge, or two feet
from back of curb, whichever is applicable. When deemed
necessary for safety, the Maintenance Engineer may require a
greater distance than four (4) feet from the edge of pavement
when shoulder pavement is not present. Pits on limited access
facilities shall be no closer to the pavement edge than the toe of
' the front slope.
The pit dimensions shall be large enough to provide a safe,
adequate working area with slopes no steeper than
0: 1 in hard pan, clay or hard Sand -clays
1: 1 in stable cohesive soils
2: 1 in loose unstable soils

dewatering system, firm employed by, position with
the firm.
iii) Data upon which design was based.
aa) Subsurface investigation as previously required.
bb) Previous experience in same area.
cc) Other, describe.
The importance of a properly functioning dewatering system
cannot be over emphasized. If the permittee or his
'
does not possess the experience and expertise
contractor
necessary to properly design, operate and maintain
dewatering system as dictated by individual project
'
conditions, the local Maintenance Engineer may require that
the system be designed or operated by the permittee s
choice of reputable firms specializing in dewatering
operations. Dewatering systems shall be in conformance
with all applicable Federal, State, County and local pollution
control and environmental protection regulations.
D. Jacking Pits - Excavated areas from which jacking and receiving
roperations are accomplished.
1) Jacking Pit Excavation - Pit excavation shall be no closer than four
i(4) feet from the roadway or shoulder pavement edge, or two feet
from back of curb, whichever is applicable. When deemed
necessary for safety, the Maintenance Engineer may require a
greater distance than four (4) feet from the edge of pavement
when shoulder pavement is not present. Pits on limited access
facilities shall be no closer to the pavement edge than the toe of
' the front slope.
The pit dimensions shall be large enough to provide a safe,
adequate working area with slopes no steeper than
0: 1 in hard pan, clay or hard Sand -clays
1: 1 in stable cohesive soils
2: 1 in loose unstable soils
1 09/03 16200 -9 03- 1438.A -R
Slopes shall extend from proposed casing invert elevation to
existing ground level. Slopes are not required in solid rock.
In lieu of constructing slopes as above, the pit walls may be
shored, sheeted, braced or otherwise supported by means of
sufficient strength to protect the employees and inspectors
working within them.
2) Pit Floor Stabilization - Where necessary to ensure a solid, stable
base for boring machinery, some means of stabilizing the pit floor
rmust be provided. Stabilizing may vary depending upon job site
condition, from timber supports under tracks, addition of clean
sand or gravel to pit floor, or in some cases the construction of
concrete slabs on the pit floor. Al stabilizing materials other than
sand, gravel and like materials must be removed upon completion
1 of the project.
E. Equipment Set Up
1) Aligning and leveling of auger tracks - To properly control line and
grade during the crossing operation, it is imperative that the
jacking unit tracks be rigidly set to the predetermined level and
alignment requirements of the job. Control should be ensured by
the use of appropriate engineering instruments.
2) Auger and casing section lengths should be determined prior to
beginning the crossing operation to ensure that the leading end of
ithe first casing section will not be under, or within three (3) feet of
any Roadway Pavement when the crossing operation is halted to
joint new auger and casing sections. As an exception, in areas
where jacking pit space is restricted by narrow right -of -way, or
obstructions and will not allow continuous operations under paved
areas as stipulated in this section, all preparations for adding
additional casing and augers should be made prior to stopping
under the pavement and the joint made as quickly as possible.
Crossings made by closed end jacking method or crossings made
in materials other than loose unstable soils, are not subject to the
provisions of this section.
3) Methods of Reducing Skin Friction - Friction between the outer
surface of the casing and the surrounding soil may be reduced by
increasing the diameter of the casing hole by nor more than 3/4
I09/03 16200 -10 03- 1438.A -R
inch greater than outside diameter of casing itself. This may be
accomplished as follows:
a) Overboring - Use of a cutting head with an overall diameter
of no more than 3/4 inch greater than the casing diameter.
Maximum diameter includes wing cutters which must be
securely blocked to limit the overall diameter in order to
meet this requirement.
b) Use of bands, couplings, collars or welds will be allowed,
providing the casing diameter is increased by no more than
3/4 inch. Any such device or method used shall be rigidly
affixed and shall in no way weaken the leading edge of the
casing. Collars and couplings used to reduce skin friction
on steel pipe must be welded in place when cutting heads
are used, eliminating the possibility of the cutting head
unscrewing or dislodging the collar or coupling during the
operation.
c) Use of lubricating materials on the outer surface of the
casing to reduce skin friction is also acceptable, subject to
the requirements of the Department of Environmental
Regulation.
jFlaring of the casing end will be allowed provided that the
original casing diameter is exceeded by no more than 3/4
inch.
Any cuts, tears or cracks made to facilitate flaring shall be
repaired and reinforced by welding to ensure that the
strength of the flared section is equal to or greater than the
original section. The use of a misaligned, undersized auger
to cut an oversized hole is prohibited.
4) Relationship between auger or cutting head to leading end of first
casing section. The leading end of the first casing section shall be
straight cut ninety degrees to the centerline of the casing and the
distance between the back of the cutting head or leading edge of
the first bare auger section, to the leading end of the casing shall
be as follows under the appropriate soil condition.
a) Rock - On crossings made through solid rock, where the
cutting head must precede the casing, the space between
09/03 16200-11 03- 1438.A -R
t
n
I
the back of the cutting head and the end of the casing shall
be limited to the clearance necessary to allow the cutting
head to function without coming in contact with the end of
the casing. In areas where sand pockets may be
encountered the cutting head must be construction so that
it can be retracted into the casing, to within the limits
specified in this section for the particular material
encountered.
b) Hard pan, clay, hard sand -clay and stable cohesive soils -
As in rock, the cutting head should normally precede the
casing but the type cutting head used must allow no more
than two (2) inches between the back of the head and the
leading end of the casing. Cutting heads with cylindrical,
pointed chippers designed for use in solid rock shall not be
used.
c) Loose unstable soil - The distance between the leading end
of the first auger section and the leading end of the casing
shall be as necessary to maintain a solid plug of spoil
material inside the forward portion of the casing. For casing
diameters eight (8) inches or greater, the minimum space
between the leading end of the auger, or cutting head as
allowed below, and the leading end of the casing shall be no
less than one -half the casing diameter. However, the
setback shall be increased if necessary to prevent undue
flow back of the spoil material. No setback is required for
casing diameters less than eight (8) inches.
Cutting heads may be used only where the subsurface
investigation report or other reliable information indicates
the likelihood of encountering a very hard soil strata, rock or
other obstructions such as tree stumps; and it is determined
prior to beginning work that the area of difficulty may be
passed by the use of an appropriate cutting head. The
cutting head shall remain inside the casing as outlined
above except during the passage of such obstructions.
On large diameter jacked crossings where clean out of the
bore is accomplished by special digging machine or by hand,
the distance between the leading end of the casing and the
actual cleanout operation shall be no less than that
necessary to ensure that voids will not form around the
09/03 16200 -12 03- 1438.A -R
outside of the casing. The use of tunnel liners will be
allowed only where the installation method and soil
conditions ensure that voids will not be formed around the
outside of the liner during installation.
5) Auger size and spacing - The leading auger section used in
conjunction with a cutting head must be full -sized having an
outside diameter not less than the inside diameter of the casing
less the amount needed to provide the minimum working clearance
necessary. In no case shall the auger diameter be less than 1/2
inch smaller than the inside casing diameter unless some other
positive means of restricting the movement of the cutting head as
previously required is assured. Less than full -sized augers that are
large enough to remove spoil satisfactorily will be allowed when
the auger is not used in conjunction with a cutting head and is to
remain within the casing at all times, except as follows:

03- 1438.A -R
6) Length - Casings and uncased carrier pipes shall be of sufficient
length to extend under all pavements and in no case shall the end
of the casing be closer than four (4) feet (eight (8) feet preferably)
from the pavement edge including paved shoulders, or two (2) feet
from back of curb plus additional length as necessary to extend to
the excavated slopes of the jacking and receiving pits. Slope
detailed in 5.D. of this exhibit. The ends of
requirements are
under limited access facilities and all casings for flammable
casings
shall be no closer to the pavement edge (including paved
materials
shoulders) than the toe of the front slope. Casings may be
to extend to the right -of -way limits or frontage roads to
required
provide for maintenance access on limited access facilities where
periodic maintenance activities on the utility are expected.
Casings shall also extend beyond pavement areas that are to be
widened in the near future when proposal of such widening is
supported by a design study.
j7)
Joints and Couplings
a) Steel Pipe
i) Couplings - Couplings shall be tight, tack welded if
necessary and sufficiently rigid (no noticeably
movement in joint) to prevent misalignment during
driving or pushing operation. Tack welding of
couplings is only required where necessary to ensure
the integrity of the joint.
Welded Joints - Joint welds shall be made in a neat
workmanlike manner, shall be air tight and
continuous over the entire circumference of the pipe
and shall increase the outside diameter by nor more
than 3/4 total.
11 09/03
b) Coupling thickness shall be such that the overall casing
diameter is increased by no more than 3/4 total. All
couplings shall be leakproof.

8) Drilling Fluids - If drilling fluids are used to lubricate the auger and
' facilitate the removal of cuttings, they shall consist of a mixture of
water and gel- forming colloidal material such as bentonite, or a
polymer surfactant mixture producing a slurry of custard -like
' consistency.
Plain water may be used if appropriate under the conditions
outlined in this exhibit.
9) Shoring and Bracing Materials - Materials used for sheeting, sheet
piling, cribbing, bracing, shoring and underpinning shall be in good
serviceable condition and timbers shall be sound, free from large or
loose knots and of proper dimensions, as required by OSHA
regulations.
10) Steel Shelving - Steel shelving welded inside the casing at the
leading end to prevent undue flowback of spoil material must be
approved by the local Maintenance Engineer prior to use.
The casing, auger and cutting head requirements specified for the
most restrictive condition to be encountered shall govern the set
Iup procedure for a particular crossing.

F. Crossing Operation - The actual crossing operation shall be accomplished
during daylight hours and shall not begin after the hour pre - established as
the latest starting time that will allow completion during daylight hours
except as allowed below.
In emergency situations, or where delay would increase the likelihood of
a failure, nighttime work will be allowed to complete a delayed crossing.
In addition, where the obvious hazards of nighttime work are carefully
considered and determined to be insignificant, nighttime work will be
allowed to complete a properly planned crossing if the local Maintenance
Engineer agrees that the delay was caused by reasonably unavoidable
circumstances, which such nighttime work is necessary to avoid placing
an undue economic hardship on the permittee or his contractor.
Planned nighttime work is expressly prohibited and will not be allowed
except as allowed in the special conditions of the utility permit.
Any nighttime work shall be in strict conformance with Section 7 of this
document.
09/03 16200 -15 03- 1438.A -R
Crossing operation requirements under the appropriate method used and
subsurface conditions are as follows:
1) Driving or jacking, without auger - For casings with outside
1 diameters of three (3) inches or less, at the minimum depth of 36
inches and up to five (5) inches outside diameter for depths of
cover exceeding six (6) feet, closed end jacking or driving is
' permitted.
2) Hydraulic or mechanical jacking, with auger - The use of an auger
' is required by the Department on all crossings using casings
greater than five (5) inches outside diameter (greater than three (3)
inches outside diameter if less than six (6) feet deep) and is
' intended to prevent a rigid plug of spoil material from forming at
the head of the casing.
If a drilling fluid is used to lubricate the outside of the casing, or
the auger and cuttings, it shall not be pumped under pressure
great enough to cause any jetting action whatsoever, or to
otherwise saturate the soil ahead of the casing. External drilling
fluid carriers shall be no larger than 3/4 O.D. and must be
permanently and securely fastened to the casing with the leading
end shielded from damage.
In soils with a high clay content only, plain water may be used to
clean the augers as necessary to prevent binding. When plain
water is used, it must be hand pumped or gravity fed through a
carrier pipe permanently and securely fastened to the casing.
G. Equipment Breakdowns or Other Unforeseen Stoppages
If forward motion of the casing is halted at any time other than for
reasons planned for in advance (addition of casing and auger sections,
etc.) and prevention of voids under paved areas cannot be assured, the
casing must be filled with concrete by pressure grouting as soon as
possible and abandoned. If removal of the augers from a casing to be
abandoned will allow voids to form under paved areas at the casing head,
the augers must be abandoned also.
When an obstruction is encountered that cannot be passed or an existing
utility is damaged, cutting of the pavement for inspection will be
approved by the local Maintenance Engineer or his representative, when
consideration of all pertinent facts indicate that such action would offer
09/03 16200 -16 03- 1438.A -R
�1
a
r
the most practical solution to the problem for all parties concerned. Any
such authorized pavement opening shall be repaired according to the
appropriate specifications in the Utility Accommodation Guide. No
cutting of the pavement will be allowed on Interstate of other limited
access facilities.
PART 6 - TESTING
6.01 GENERAL
A. In air pressure test for leaks shall be conducted in the presence of the
local Engineer or his representative immediately upon completion of each
crossing at a minimum test pressure of 20 psig. The test shall be
abandoned, if in the opinion of the engineer, the leaks are potentially
damaging to the roadway.
Either of the two test methods outlined below will be satisfactory.
1. Standard twenty -four (24) pressure test with recording chart.
2. Pressure test utilizing a dragnet type leak detecting device, or
other equivalent testing equipment capable of detecting pressure
drops of one -half psi. Length of test to be as recommended by the
testing equipment manufacturer for the conditions of the particular
job.
Leaking pipes that cannot be repaired to meet pressure test are to be
filled with concrete by pressure grouting, or other approved means and
abandoned if in the opinion of the Engineer the leaks are potentially
damaging to the roadway
PART 7 - WAIVER OF REQUIREMENTS
7.01 GENERAL
09/03
A. The requirements and recommendation contained in these guidelines are
appropriate for the most common crossing situations. Under unusual
conditions, not adequately covered herein, these requirements may be
altered or waived when their strict adherence would increase the
likelihood of a crossing failure. Any such alteration or waiver shall be
based on sound engineering judgement and must be fully documented as
outlined in Section 8 of this exhibit. Any alteration or waiver must be
approved by the Engineer or authorized representative.
16200 -17 03- 1438.A -R
B. An air pressure test for leaks shall be conducted in the presence of the
Engineer or his representative immediately upon completion of each
crossing at a minimum test pressure of 20 psig. The test shall be
abandoned, if in the opinion of the Engineer, the leaks are potentially
damaging to the roadway.
PART 8 - REPORTING PROCEDURES
8.01 GENERAL
A. An accurate log shall be kept by the CONTRACTOR or authorized
representative on the crossing. The purpose of this log is to record and
report the data necessary to isolate and identify all common factors
associated with underground crossing failures.
B. The log shall be forwarded to the Engineer with the permit, subsurface
investigation report, dewatering plan (if applicable), completion notice,
and related correspondence.
C. The data shall be recorded on the job site during the actual crossing
operation.
