Contractor shall segregate excavated material so as to maintain material suitable for backfill separate from material that is unsuitable. d. Trench dimensions at the pipe embedment and foundation zone unless noted otherwise shall be as follows: 1) Minimum width: Pipe outside diameter plus 18 inches. 2) Maximum width: Pipe outside diameter plus 24 inches. 3) Sides shall be vertical to a minimum of one foot above the top of pipe. e. Shape trench bedding to provide uniform bearing for the full pipe length. Bottom shall be free of protrusions that could cause point loading on pipe. Provide bell holes as required for properly making pipe joint. f. Do not over excavate. Excavation below grade shall be backfilled with Class I material. g. Undercut soils that become unsatisfactory by construction activity or by being left exposed to the weather and backfill with Class I material. h. Remove shoring, bracing, and sheeting, unless otherwise noted, as the trench is backfilled. i. Excavation of trench shall not advance more than 200 feet ahead of the installation. In no case should the excavation extend beyond that which can be backfilled by the end of the workday. j.

Pressure Lines: 1) Provide a minimum 3 feet of cover. 2) Excavate trenches to provide vertical curve chords that will not exceed the pipe manufacturer’s recommended joint deflection. 3) Provide concrete thrust blocks having a compressive strength of 3,000 psi at 28 days at change in horizontal and vertical direction and reduction in the pipe size, unless other restraint systems are approved. Cut trench sides vertical and square to receive concrete. Provide bearing area against trench wall as indicated in the Standard Detail. m. Gravity Lines: 1) Excavate trench to the d...

Excavating. A. Excavate to lines, elevations and limits indicated on the drawings, allowing sufficient distance and space to permit erection of forms, shoring and inspections. Excavate as required for placement of utilities and foundations, regardless of type, condition or moisture content of material encountered. If suitable bearings for foundations are not encountered at the depths indicated, immediately notify the Architect and the Owner and do not proceed further until instructions are received. B. Excavation is unclassified and no consideration will be given to nature of materials encountered within normal excavation limits. Unclassified excavation comprises and includes satisfactory removal and disposal of all materials encountered. Remove excess earth, including excess topsoil, debris, and material not suitable for fill from site; retain best quality soil for backfilling. C. Foundation excavations shall not be exposed for extended periods of time. Footing construction shall be inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer and shall be completed during the same day they are excavated. Footing excavations left open overnight shall be re-inspected by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to foundation construction. The cost of re-inspection and any required remedial measures required due to deterioration of the footing subgrade shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor. X. Xxxxx and brace excavations for footings, sumps, areaways, pits, and tanks with members of suitable size and arrangement where necessary to prevent injury to persons, caving or erosion. Remove shoring and bracing as excavations are backfilled. E. Contractor shall determine quantities of cut and fill in order to grade site to elevations shown on the civil drawings. Any excess material will be removed from the site in accordance with Paragraph 1.09 (Disposal and Stockpiling) of this section. Any imported material needed to bring site to grades shown on the civil drawings shall be approved by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to bringing such material on site. No additional compensation for importing or removal of soil, in order to bring site into conformance with site plan grades and elevations, shall be considered by the Owner. F. During demolition, site preparation, grading, trenching or any other construction related activity if rock is encountered, the contractor shall excavate, remove and dispose of rock within the limits required and in accordance with the contract documents.

Excavating. There shall be no ditching, draining, diking, filling, excavating, dredging, mining or drilling, removal of topsoil, sand, gravel, rock, minerals or other materials, nor any building of roads or change in the topography of the land in any manner, unless directly associated with and incidental to Permitted Uses or archeological exploration by a qualified not-for-profit, state or federal governmental agency.

Excavating. Disposal of surplus excavation material shall be handled in a similar manner to the disposal of surplus stripping material. - It is extremely important in all excavations to ensure that excavated material is not permitted to sluff into the surrounding tree cover, or to bury any plant material that is to be retained. Trees and shrubs on the perimeter of the site can be severely damaged by burial or damage involved in retrieving this material at a later date. - Rocks rolling down steep slopes during excavation or dumping of fill material can severely damage vegetation below. Special attention by equipment operators and extensive downslope protection work may be required. - Careful equipment operation is required to ensure that mechanical damage to trees and surrounding vegetation does not occur. If damage does occur, an approved horticultural sealant will be applied to the tree damage as soon as possible. - All equipment operators should be instructed that the operation of construction equipment off-site is not permitted. This applies both to the perimeter of the site, and to any areas within the site that are protected in a natural state. - Alberta Region archaeologists must be informed of any projects in the park that require excavation. This will be scheduled at the preliminary/design phase of the project. Archaeological/Historical concerns will be cleared by Alberta Region Archaeological Division prior to initiation of excavation. - Material sources, material storage areas and width of excavation ditches will be identified and recognized as part of the cost estimate of the project ( trucking requirements, etc.). - All open excavations will be signed and fenced appropriately in order to minimize hazards to both the general public and to wildlife.

  • Excavation If any excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to or under the Building, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall afford to the person causing or authorized to cause such excavation, license to enter the Premises for the purpose of performing such work as said person shall deem necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Building from injury or damage and to support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or liability against Landlord and without reducing or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

  • Dewatering (a) Where the whole of a site is so affected by surface water following a period of rain that all productive work is suspended by agreement of the Parties, then dewatering shall proceed as above with Employees so engaged being paid at penalty rates as is the case for safety rectification work. This work is typically performed by Employees engaged within CW1, CW2 or CW3 classifications. When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected. (c) To avoid any confusion any ‘dewatering’ time which prevents an Employee from being engaged in their normal productive work is not included in any calculation for the purposes of determining whether an Employee is entitled to go home due to wet weather (refer clauses 32.4 and 32.5)
