TESTING - CONCRETE AND SOILS Sample Clauses
The 'Testing - Concrete and Soils' clause establishes requirements for the testing of concrete and soil materials used in a construction project. It typically outlines who is responsible for arranging and paying for such tests, the standards or methods to be followed, and the frequency or timing of testing activities. For example, it may require that concrete samples be taken and tested for strength at specified intervals, or that soil compaction be verified before further construction proceeds. This clause ensures that materials meet specified quality and safety standards, thereby reducing the risk of structural failures and ensuring compliance with regulatory or project requirements.
TESTING - CONCRETE AND SOILS. Unless otherwise specified or provided elsewhere in the Contract Documents, the Principal Representative will contract for and pay for the testing of concrete and for soils compaction testing through an independent laboratory or laboratories selected and approved by the Principal Representative. The Contractor shall assume the responsibility of arranging, scheduling and coordinating the concrete sample collection efforts and soils compaction efforts in an efficient and cost effective manner. Testing shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of the Specifications, and if no requirements are specified, the Contractor shall request instructions and testing shall be as directed by the Architect/Engineer or the soils engineer, as applicable, and in accordance with standard industry practices. The Principal Representative and the Architect/Engineer shall be given reasonable advance notice of each concrete pour and reserve the right to either increase or decrease the number of cylinders or the frequency of tests. Soil compaction testing shall be at random locations selected by the soils engineer. In general, soils compaction testing shall be as directed by the soils engineer and shall include all substrate prior to backfill or construction.
