602.03  Construction Requirements.  Construct the designated items as shown on the plans.

A.      Excavate to dimensions that provide ample room for construction.  Remove obstructions as necessary to perform this work.

Protect the sides of all excavations from caving by providing suitable sheeting, shoring, and bracing.  Use excavation methods that do not disturb the original material below the bottom of footers or below the additional 6 inches (150 mm) required for precast structures.

If the material found at the bottom of the headwall or below the additional 6 inches (150 mm) required for precast structures is not suitable for a foundation, excavate to further depth to provide a suitable foundation. Backfill the void left by the additional excavation with granular base.  The Department will pay for this additional work according to 109.05.

Backfilling shall follow completion of the work as closely as the construction will allow.  Backfill with granular base or soil. Place backfill in 6-inch (150 mm) loose lifts.

B.      Compaction requirements are according to Item 203 except for the following:

Four passes per lift with additional passes as required until 95 percent compaction is reached.  Use compaction equipment with a minimum total weight of, or minimum centrifugal force of, 1 ton (0.9 metric ton).  Supply the manufacturer’s specifications for this equipment to verify these requirements.

C.      Cast-in-place structures are headwalls, pipe cradles, collars, and other units. Construct cast-in-place structures according to the corresponding Standard Construction Drawing using methods specified in Items 499, 511, and 509.

D.      Precast structures are half height headwalls for conduits up to a maximum of 78 inches (1980 mm). These pre-approved precast structure drawings are on file in the Office Material Management. With the submission of the TE-24 from an approved manufacturer furnish stamped, approved from the Office of Hydraulic Engineering design drawing sheets.  Precast half-height headwalls for elliptical and pipe arch conduits may be constructed from templates of the actual conduit being supplied, up to a maximum 78 inch (1980 mm) (round equivalent) to the project to ensure the opening is OD plus one inch.  Submit drawings to the Office of Hydraulic Engineering for approval, on a project by project basis, of precast half-height headwalls for elliptical and pipe arch conduit.  Non-pre-approved drawings are required to be submitted to the Office of Hydraulic Engineering for approval. Allow 4 weeks for approval.  Failure to furnish the stamped, approved design drawing sheets will result in rejection of the precast structure.  The drawings will include the following:

1.      All manufacturers are pre-approved according to Supplement 1073.

2.      All reinforcing steel will be epoxy coated.

3.      All HW-2.1 SCD require wire insert details.

4.      Attachment detail for metal or plastic conduit conforming to SCD HW2.1.

5.      Non-corrosive lifting devices.

6.      Maximum opening is conduit outside diameter plus 1 inch (25 mm) for each conduit material type.

7.      All openings to be filled with nonshrink mortar including all lifting device voids.

8.      Changes in pre-approved drawings are the same as non pre-approved drawings.

9.      Detail how the 6 inch (150 mm) extension is treated if required.

10.    Fill the void between the precast half height headwall and the conduit by using nonshrink mortar.

11.    Apply marking, either stamped or painted, to the headwall to ensure each headwall size is matched to the proper conduit size and material type.

E.  Pre-cast structures for wing walls and headwalls for use with Items 706.05, 706.051,  706.052, and 706.053. The Contractor may provide precast wingwalls or headwalls in lieu of cast-in-place walls using the following criteria:

1.       Select fabricators that are prequalified and evaluated by the Office of Materials Management (OMM) according to Supplement 1073 and listed by the Department before the Contract Letting Date.

2.       All reinforcing steel shall be epoxy coated.

3.       Wall anchorage dowels shall be epoxy coated as per 709.00 or galvanized as per 709.16.

4.       Galvanize all connection hardware per 711.02.

5.       Install dowels per 510 using non-shrink, non-metallic 705.20 epoxy grout. 

6.       Provide the entrained air requirements as per the applicable concrete specification.

7.       Provide Non-corrosive lifting devices.

8.       Fill all openings including all lifting hook voids with non-shrink mortar per 705.22.

9.       Provide shop drawings detailing precast concrete structural elements and calculations according to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications.

10.    Have an Ohio Registered Engineer prepare, sign, seal and date the shop drawings. Have a second Ohio Registered Engineer check, sign, seal and date the shop drawings. The preparer and checker shall be two different Engineers. Have all questions and comments addressed before submitting the shop drawings.

11.    Submit the shop drawings and calculations to the Engineer at least 7 days before construction begins. Department acceptance is not required.  

12.    The Contractor’s written acceptance letter shall document acceptance of the shop drawings including confirmation of field verification, as required, and descriptions of issues resolved between the Contractor, the fabricator, or the Department.

13.    By accepting these shop drawings, the Contractor represents to the Department that all dimensions and elevations of existing conditions shown on the plans have been field measured and verified, and that these shop drawings comply with all the materials requirements, construction requirements, contract requirements, and performance criteria.  The Contractor further represents that these drawings have been coordinated and verified with the details of the work to be performed by other fabricators and entities on the project.  The Department will not make any allowance for additional cost or delays to the Contractor for incorrect fabrication as a result of failure to coordinate or perform this acceptance.

14.    If the Department requests changes on these shop drawings, or the Contractor makes changes in addition to those expressly requested, ensure that the shop drawings are accepted as above with suitable revision marks to identify the changes.
