d. QA Representative will meet with the Contractor to determine if the preliminary pay request and corresponding back-up is acceptable.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION

3.1.1 Work Plan

The Contractor must submit a geotextile installation work plan that includes construction schedule and sequence of operations for approval as part of the preconstruction submittals. The plan must describe the general work sequence and layout of operations. The plan must provide a description of quality control equipment and testing and sampling equipment. The plan must describe the sampling and testing procedures, sample test forms for reporting test results, including offsite independent laboratory.

3.1.2 Subgrade Preparation

The surface underlying the geotextile must be smooth and free of ruts or protrusions which could damage the geotextile. Subgrade materials and compaction requirements must be in accordance with Section 31 00 00

SECTION 31 05 19 Page 4 April 2022

EARTHWORK, using equipment that will not damage the subgrade or cause excessive ruts.

3.1.3 Placement

The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer a minimum of 24 hours prior to installation of geotextile. Geotextile rolls which are damaged or contain imperfections must be repaired or replaced as directed. The geotextile must be laid flat and smooth so that it is in direct contact with the subgrade. The geotextile must also be free of tensile stresses, folds, and wrinkles. On slopes steeper than 10 horizontal on 1 vertical, lay the geotextile with the machine direction of the fabric parallel to the slope direction.

3.2 SEAMS

3.2.1 Overlap Seams

Continuously overlap geotextile panels a minimum of 12 inches at all longitudinal and transverse joints. Where seams must be oriented across the slope, lap the upper panel over the lower panel. If approved, sewn seams may be used instead of overlapped seams.

3.3 PROTECTION

Protect the geotextile during installation from clogging, tears, and other damage. Damaged geotextile must be repaired or replaced as directed. Use adequate ballast (e.g. sand bags) to prevent uplift by wind. The geotextile must not be left uncovered for more than 14 days after installation.

3.4 REPAIRS

Repair torn or damaged geotextile. Clogged areas of geotextile must be removed. Perform repairs by placing a patch of the same type of geotextile over the damaged area. The patch must extend a minimum of 12 inches beyond the edge of the damaged area. Patches must be continuously fastened using approved methods. The machine direction of the patch must be aligned with the machine direction of the geotextile being repaired.

Remove and replace geotextile rolls which cannot be repaired. Repairs must be performed at no additional cost to the Government.

3.5 COVERING

Do not cover geotextile prior to inspection and approval by the Contracting Officer. After approval place cover soil in a manner that prevents soil from entering the geotextile overlap zone, prevents tensile stress from being mobilized in the geotextile, and prevents wrinkles from folding over onto themselves. On side slopes, soil backfill must be placed from the bottom of the slope upward. Cover soil must not be dropped onto the geotextile from a height greater than 3 feet . No equipment must be operated directly on top of the geotextile without approval of the Contracting Officer. Use equipment with ground pressures less than 7 psi to place the first lift over the geotextile. A minimum of 12 inches of soil or spalls must be maintained between full-scale construction equipment and the geotextile. Cover soil material type, compaction, and testing requirements are described in Section 31 00 00 EARTHWORK. Equipment placing cover soil must not stop abruptly, make sharp turns, spin their wheels, or travel at speeds exceeding 5 mph .

Perform manufacturing quality control sampling and testing in accordance with the manufacturer's approved quality control manual. As a minimum, geotextiles must be provided from each manufacturing lot delivered to site for testing in accordance with ASTM D4354, Procedure A. Acceptance of geotextile must be in accordance with ASTM D4759. Tests not meeting the specified requirements will result in the rejection of applicable rolls.

3.7 QUALITY ASSURANCE SAMPLES AND TESTS

3.7.1 Quality Assurance Samples

Provide assistance to the Contracting Officer in the collection of quality assurance samples for quality assurance testing; assign 7 days in the schedule to allow for testing. Collect samples upon each lot delivery to the site in accordance with ASTM D4354, Procedure B. Lot size for quality assurance sampling must be considered to be the shipment quantity of the product or a truckload of the product, whichever is smaller. The unit size must be considered one roll of geotextile. Identify samples with a waterproof marker by manufacturer's name, product identification, lot number, roll number, and machine direction. The date and a unique sample number must also be noted on the sample. Discard the outer layer of the geotextile roll prior to sampling a roll. Samples must then be collected by cutting the full-width of the geotextile sheet a minimum of 3 feet long in the machine direction. Rolls which are sampled must be immediately resealed in their protective covering.

3.7.2 Quality Assurance Tests

The Contracting Officer will provide quality assurance samples to an Independent Laboratory. Samples will be tested to verify that geotextile meets the requirements specified in Table 1. Test method ASTM D4355/D4355M must not be performed on the collected samples. Geotextile product acceptance must be based on ASTM D4759. Tests not meeting the specified requirements will result in the rejection of applicable rolls.

3.8 GEOTEXTILE CLOSEOUT AND ACCEPTANCE
