No backfill shall be placed until the foundation walls have cured sufficiently to develop the strength necessary to withstand, undamaged, the pressure that will result from backfilling and compaction operations (minimum 7 days).

D. Prior to placement of backfill, all forms shall be removed and the excavation be cleaned of all trash, debris and unsuitable material.

E. Where self-propelled or power mechanical compaction is used, the uncompacted thickness of each lift of structural backfill shall be not more than 8 inches. Where hand-operated mechanical compaction is used, the structural backfill shall be placed in thinner layers of not more than six inches, such that the specified degree of compaction is attained.

F. Rollers shall not be operated within two feet of structural walls unless otherwise approved by the

Contracting Officer. Care shall be exercised in placing backfill to avoid damage to conduit and piping systems.

G. Fill material shall be placed and compacted at a moisture content suitable for compaction. No fill material shall be placed when free water is standing on the surface of the area where the fill is to be placed and no compaction of fill will be permitted with free water on any point of the surface of the fill to be compacted. Any fill containing organic materials or other unacceptable material previously described shall be removed and replaced with approved fill material prior to compaction.

H. Unless otherwise specified, all backfill not accessible to roller compaction shall be compacted by power tampers or vibratory compactors or other approved means to the same degree of compaction specified.

3.15 GRADING

All areas covered by the project, including excavated and embankment areas and adjacent transition areas, shall be uniformly graded so that finished surfaces are at elevations that conform to the surrounding terrain. Areas to receive future topsoil shall be graded to allow for such material in the finished elevations. Finished surfaces and surfaces to receive paving and aggregate base shall be reasonably smooth, compacted and free from surface irregularities that would affect drainage. Ditches, gutters and swales shall be furnished to permit proper surface drainage.

3.16 TESTING

A. All inspection and testing shall be in accordance with Section 01442.

B. Where fill, backfill, or in-place materials are required to be compacted to a specific density, the maximum density for control shall be determined by using ASTM D1557 or AASHTO T99 or T180 method C or D. The results of these tests shall be the basis upon which satisfactory completion of work will be judged. Any area or portion thereof that does not meet minimum density requirements shall be reworked and recompacted until it meets the project density requirements.
