Excavation shall be performed in accordance with applicable federal, state or local safety codes.

Delaney Butte Lakes SWA 02220-3 Wolfer-Mallon Bypass

Control grading around the structure so that the ground is pitched to prevent water from flowing into excavated areas or damaging the foundation. Provide pumping to keep excavations clear of water.

II. Underground Obstructions

Locate ut ilities p rior t o e xcavating. Unless o therwise s pecified, p reserve i ntact pipe o r ut ilities e ncountered d uring construction. I f ut ilities o r s tructures a re accidentally damaged, replace immediately to their original condition.

A. Unsuitable Bearing

Excavate such that uniform bearings are obtained throughout. I f su itable bearing i s n ot o btained at t he de pth i ndicated o n t he dr awings f or t he foundations, immediately notify the Engineer. Do not proceed until further instructions are given.

Completely remove subsurface debris and abandoned construction materials including b roken p ieces o f concrete. Remove s uch m aterials w ithin construction l ines to 6 inc hes below the excavation. D ispose of materials where designated.

B. Freezing

When f reezing temperatures a re e xpected, do not e xcavate t o t he full depth indicated unless the work can be performed immediately af ter the excavation has been completed.

C. Dimensions:

Excavate t o e levations and di mensions w here shown. Al low addi tional space as required for construction operations and inspection.

III. Shoring:

Shore, she et pi le and brace e xcavations as r equired t o m aintain them se cure.

Remove shoring as ba ckfilling progresses, but only when banks are safe against caving or collapse.

IV. Classification of Excavation

Excavation shall be classified as common unless otherwise specified.

Delaney Butte Lakes SWA 02220-4 Wolfer-Mallon Bypass drawbar pul l i n e xcess o f 4 0,000 po unds. B oulders and loose rock l ess than 1 cu. yd. are also classified as common excavation.

V. Overexcavation

Excavate so that uniform bearing shal l be obtained for the foundation. D o not excavate be low t he de pth specified. If o ver excavation o ccurs, bac kfill w ith select material.

VI. Unsuitable Foundation

The foundation is considered unsuitable when after dewatering, the existing soils are unstable. Unstable soils are those that are too soft, provide low load bearing or are otherwise inadequate. Unstable soils include organic soils, fine grain soils saturated w ith w ater i n e xcess o f t heir l iquid l imit, l ow de nsity f ine sands o r silts, and e xpansive s oils. C ohesive so ils o r g ranular c ohesive so ils w ith she ar strength m easured usi ng AST M D 2 166 o r AST M D 2 573 o f l ess t han 500 psf o r sands w ith pe netration resistance m easured usi ng AST M D 1 586 of l ess t han 8 blows per foot are unsuitable.

Where e xcavation i s i n shal e o r r ock, o r br oken c oncrete o ccurs, e xcavate si x inches below grade. N o rock, shale or broken concrete shall be within 6 inches of the structure.

VII. Dewatering

Where running water, quicksand, or unsuitable foundation conditions are encountered, push the work with the utmost vigor. Drain water to sumps through w ell p oints, underdrains o r o ther approved m ethods, pr oviding a completely dry foundation. Ensure that subsurface water does not interfere with maintaining proper soil moisture for proper compaction of backfill.

9. BACKFILLING FOR STRUCTURES

Backfill ag ainst t he st ructure o nly af ter appr oval. P lace an d c ompact bac kfill materials to m inimize s ettlement a nd t o a void d amage t o t he structure, waterproofing and connecting construction. Before placing backfill, remove debris subject to rot or corrosion and other detrimental materials.

Water sh all n ot be al lowed t o r ise u ntil t he concrete ha s s et a m inimum o f 24 hours, an d t he f orms h ave be en removed. W ater sh all n ot b e al lowed t o r ise unequally against unsupported structural walls.

Do not place brush, sod, frozen material or other perishable or unsuitable materials in the fill. Distribute material to avoid lenses differing substantially from the surrounding material.

Deliver material to achieve well and uniformly compacted backfill.

Delaney Butte Lakes SWA 02220-5 Wolfer-Mallon Bypass
