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

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

1. Placement of concrete shall be as specified for dry or wet conditions as may be applicable for the conditions found at the time of the work.

2. During concrete placement, take care to prevent concrete from hitting the sides of the steel reinforcing bar cage which will cause segregation.

3. To prevent segregation, do not allow concrete to fall more than 5 feet.

4. Proceed with concrete placement that starts underwater, using underwater placement requirements until the hole is completely filled. a. Do not dewater the shaft after partial concrete placement.

5. Provide for a supply of concrete that is adequate to complete placement on any given drilled pier in one continuous uninterrupted operation without cold joints.

6. Construct concrete work in a manner that dense, monolithic concrete is provided throughout the full length and diameter of the drilled pier.

8. Use casing length so that at the end of drilling, the top of the casing projects above the ground surface and any adjacent mound of drill cuttings.

9. Provide positive control to make certain that the bottom of the casing is at least 3 feet below the top of the concrete being placed to prevent a reduction in the diameter of the pier shaft due to earth pressure and to prevent in situ materials from falling into and mixing with the concrete.

F. Cave-ins:

1. Remove soil which sloughs into the excavated pier shaft prior to concrete placement:

2. During concrete placement, if the Engineer has reasons to suspect that concrete was breached by the soil or that the pier, for any other reason, may contain extraneous material, or otherwise is not in conformance with Drawings and Specifications, the Engineer may order testing of the pier by coring or other methods:
