3.1 PREPARATION

Prepare access and storage areas as necessary to accommodate construction equipment, material, and final finished construction.

3.2 CONSTRUCTION

Install riprap in conformance to industry best practices. The riprap shall be places to its full course thickness in one operation in such a manner as to produce a reasonable well graded mass of rock without causing displacement of the underlying material or alternation of the navigation tower foundation. The finished surface shall be free from pockets of small stones and clusters of larger stones. Placing of this material by methods likely to cause segregation of the various sizes of stones will not be permitted. Rearranging of individual stones by mechanical or hand methods will be required to the extent necessary to obtain a reasonable well graded distribution of the specified stones sizes. Take care to ensure the concrete tower foundation is well supported by the riprap. The complete course shall be of the specified thickness and to the lines and grades shown on the project drawings.

This specification paragraph mirrors SHS Section 7.03 RIPRAP

3.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Survey the work during construction to insure products and materials are installed correctly and to specifications. Perform a survey that shows the installed work including finished elevations/contours: show on the as-built drawings.
