pw://Carollo/Documents/Client/CA/Ukiah/8660F10/Specifications/New Scope/02441 (BidSetFinal)

1.03 DEFINITIONS
A. Jacking Record: A computer-generated report that contains information on all pertinent microtunneling operations, including rate of advance, slurry flow rates and pressures, jacking forces, face pressure, cutter-head torque, steering corrections, machine inclination, roll, machine position, installed tunnel length, intermediate jacking station pressures, date, time, name of Operator, problems with the tunneling machine, and reasons for delays.

B. Intermediate Jacking Station (IJS): A fabricated steel cylinder fitted with hydraulic jacks that is incorporated into a pipeline between 2 interjack pipe sections. The function of an intermediate jacking station is to distribute the jacking load along the pipe string during pipe installation. The hydraulic jacks are removed at the completion of a drive and the gap between adjacent pipe sections is fully closed by pushing the pipes together with the main shaft jacks.

C. Launch Seal: A mechanical seal usually comprised of a rubber flange attached to a steel housing that is mounted to the wall of the drive shaft. The microtunneling machine distends the flange seal as it passes through, creating a seal to prevent water, slurry, or lubrication inflows into the shaft during tunneling operations.

D. Lubrication Port: A port located in a jacking pipe segment, fitted with a one-way valve, for injection of lubrication material or grout into the annular space between the pipe and the ground.

E. Microtunneling: A remotely controlled, guided, pipe jacking process that provides continuous support to the excavation face. The guidance system usually consists of a laser, mounted in the jacking pit as a reference, with a target mounted inside the microtunneling machine's articulated steering head. The microtunneling process does not require personnel entry into the tunnel. A key element of microtunneling is the ability to control the stability of the face by applying mechanical or fluid pressure to the face to balance the earth and groundwater pressures.

F. Obstruction: Objects or portions of objects located wholly or partially within the cross-sectional area excavated by the microtunneling machine that are larger than 1/3 the outer diameter of the shield or cutter-head, and that prevent the forward motion of the microtunneling machine.

G. Surface Settlement Point: A point with elevation and spatial location established by survey prior to construction. The point is re-surveyed periodically to monitor ground movements. The point may be a nail, pin, or other device that can be readily located and surveyed.

1.04 SUBMITTALS

B. Preparation:

1. The Contractor shall survey the location and orientation of the pipe guide rails prior to starting jacking operations to ensure they are on the proper line and grade.

C. Tunnel excavation shall be between the limits indicated on the Contract Drawings to the specified line and grade and shall be accomplished using methods which include due regard for safety of workers, adjacent structures and improvements, utilities, and the public. Jacking and receiving pits shall be located as identified on the Contract Drawings, unless otherwise approved in writing by the Engineer.

D. The Contractor shall ensure that the axial forces from the main jacks shall be distributed to the pipe uniformly through cushion materials to prevent damage to the ends of the pipe.

E. The Contractor shall ensure that each pipe section shall be jacked as the excavation progresses in such a way that no length of tunnel is left exposed at any time.

F. The Contractor will ensure that steering corrections are gradual, with corrections made at a rate of no more than 1 inch over 25 feet of drive length.

G. The Contractor shall jack the pipes into place without damaging the pipe. In the event a section of pipe is damaged during the jacking operation, the pipe shall be jacked through to the next shaft and removed.

H. The Contractor shall control the advance rate of the machine and shall balance the rate of removal of excavated material with the rate of excavation and pipe installation to avoid over excavation that can lead to subsidence and under excavation that can lead to heave.

I. The Contractor shall mount the laser independently from the thrust block and jacking frame to maintain the alignment of the laser.

1. The Contractor will stop tunneling operations and reset the laser if the laser alignment shifts or is moved off design alignment and grade for any reason.

2. The Contractor shall immediately notify the Engineer if the laser has been disturbed and must be reset.
