APPLICABLE PUBLICATIONS
Pub.408 - Specifications; Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
Bulletin 15 - Approved Construction Materials; Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
MATERIALS AND STORAGE
A - General - Obtain materials from sources approved by the Inspector, but the approval of any source shall not be construed as approval of all materials from that source. Materials from required excavation may be used, provided they meet the requirements of these Technical Specifications.
B - Geotextile - Provide Class 4, Type A Geotextile, conforming with the requirements of Section 735 of Pub.408. Obtain geotextiles from a manufacturer listed in Bulletin 15.
During the periods of shipment and storage, protect geotextiles from direct sunlight, ultraviolet rays, temperatures greater than 140°F, mud, dirt, dust, and debris. To the extent possible, maintain geotextiles wrapped in a heavy-duty covering or shield from direct sunlight.
Geotextiles will be rejected at the time of installation if any defects, deterioration, or damage has occurred during manufacture, transportation, or storage.
C - Securing Pins for Geotextiles - Provide steel securing pins, 18 inches long x 3/16 inches in diameter, pointed at one end; and with a 1½-inch washer head at the other end. Alternate securing devices, approved by the Inspector, may be used.
D - Riprap - Obtain riprap from a source approved by the Inspector. Riprap shall consist of sound durable rock, insoluble in water. Friable, stratified rocks such as shales, and rocks liable to decompose in water, such as claystones, will not be approved. The Inspector shall reject localized areas, strata, or channels within an approved area or zone when, in its opinion, the material has disintegrated, weathered badly, or is otherwise unsatisfactory for the intended use.
The materials shall be free of objectionable amounts of earth, quarry dust, or other materials;
however, washing will not be required.
Stone for riprap shall be block shaped with a specific gravity of at least 2.5. Smooth rounded stone or boulders; flat, thin, elongated, and slab-shaped stone shall not be acceptable. Not more than 25 percent of the stones reasonably well distributed throughout the gradation shall have a length more than two and one-half (2.5) times the breadth or thickness. No stone shall have a length exceeding three (3) times its breadth or thickness.
Riprap shall be R-8 gradation, conforming to Section 850 of Pub.408, except as noted above.
The riprap shall be certified as to size and gradation and the Inspector shall accept the onsite riprap based on a visual inspection.
PROCEDURE
A - General - Thicknesses indicated on the Drawings are the placement thicknesses of riprap layers.
B - Foundation Preparation - Prepare the areas on which riprap is to be placed by excavating, trimming, and dressing to conform to cross sections and slopes shown on the Drawings. Bring up the low areas to grade by filling and compacting in accordance with the "Unclassified Fill" Specification, with materials comparable to adjacent foundation materials.
C - Geotextile - Use Class 4, Type A Geotextile.
Place the fabric on the prepared area in a loose, unstretched condition to minimize shifting, puncturing, or tearing the fabric. For stream slope protection, lay the fabric with the long dimension parallel to stream flow, and for protection of the entire stream, lay the fabric with the long dimension perpendicular to the centerline of the channel. Provide a minimum overlap of twelve (12) inches at the joints, with the upstream fabric over the downstream fabric and the upslope fabric over the downslope fabric. Anchor the fabrics in place by inserting securing pins through both fabrics at the overlaps at the spacing shown on the following table:
STEEPER THAN FLATTER THAN
SLOPE 3:1 4:1 4:1
SECURING PIN PACING
ALONG OVERLAPS
2 FEET 3 FEET
5 FEET
Install additional pins as necessary to prevent any slippage of the fabrics.
Protect the fabrics at all times during construction from contamination by surface runoff. Place riprap or cover the fabric with approved covering material as soon as possible, so that Type A fabric is not exposed for more than two (2) weeks.
Do not drop rocks, two (2) feet or larger in any dimension directly on the fabric from a height greater than one (1) foot. Do not allow the riprap placement procedure to puncture or damage the fabric.
Repair and/or replace all damaged fabric to the satisfaction of, and at no additional cost.
D - Riprap - Place stones for riprap on the geotextiles, in the dry, and conforming to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings or as directed by the Inspector. Place the stones in such manner as to produce a reasonably well-graded and uniform surface providing the full thickness shown on the Drawings. A tolerance of plus or minus three inches will be allowed in the finished surface except that either extreme of such tolerance shall not be continuous over an area greater than 200 square feet. Place stones to the full course thickness in one operation and without displacing the underlying material. Do not place stones in layers. The finished work shall be free from objectionable pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones, and the entire mass of stones shall be roughly graded to conform to the gradation specified. Smaller stones shall be well distributed in order to chink the voids between larger stones, insofar as practicable. Do not place riprap by dumping stones into chutes or by similar methods, likely to cause segregation of the various sizes. Do not use a tractor equipped with bulldozer blade, stone rake, or any similar equipment. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stones throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry, by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing, or by other approved methods. Rearrange individual stones by hand or mechanical means only to the extent necessary to break down bridging and to obtain a reasonably well-graded mass.
Provide cutoff at the upstream and downstream ends of riprap as shown on the Drawings, and do not allow any equipment to pass over the finished riprap surface.
MAINTENANCE - Make all necessary repairs to riprap for the duration of the Contract.
