The item of Special Filter Blanket, when provided in the contract, will be measured in square yards {square meters} to the nearest 0.1 square yard {0.1 m²}, complete in place, for the material placed and accepted.
Horizontal drains will be measured by the linear foot {meter} of drainpipe installed in the holes drilled, including the extension necessary to discharge into the collector structure.
contract, the material ordered and accepted will be measured in tons {metric tons} on approved scales.
provided in the contract, the accepted volume of backfill will be measured in cubic yards {cubic meters} complete in place by the cross section and average end area method. Cross sections shall be taken of the material in its original position, whether from a borrow pit, stockpile, or other approved source, before placing of the backfill and re-cross sectioned after placing the backfill. The volume computed between these cross sections shall be the volume of backfill.

TREATMENT OF LIME SINKS 141
TREATMENT OF LIME SINKS
224.01Description
The work under this Section shall cover the treatment required to correct conditions occurring when lime sinks are found within or adjacent to construction limits of the work. The application and extent of the treatment will be in accordance with plan details or as directed.
224.02Materials
Material furnished for use under this Section shall be of the quality and character noted on the plans or ordered by the Engineer, suitable for the purpose intended, and consistent with the requirements for such materials as may be noted in other parts of these Specifications.
224.03Construction Requirements
Choice of equipment to perform the work required under this Section shall in general be that of the Contractor provided such will produce the desired results within the limits directed by the Engineer.
To properly evaluate the limits of the corrective treatment required to effectively bridge a lime sink, the work shall be performed in the following sequence: Exploration of the lime sink area to locate the sink hole will be as directed by the Engineer; the size of the exploratory excavation shall be kept to a minimum. The sink hole, once located, shall be enlarged to the size and depth as directed by the Engineer to expose the solution cavity. After exposing the solution cavity, it shall be plugged with a rock boulder or a plug of suitable material capable of sealing the cavity yet maintaining proper ground water drainage. After installation of the plug, a strata of selected material that will permit proper ground water drainage shall be placed to a depth of approximately one-half the excavated hole depth, but not in excess of 7 feet {2 m}. The material used for this "Special Backfill" shall be of the type shown on the plans or directed. This special backfill material shall be placed in approximately equal uniform layers, not to exceed 2 feet {600 mm} in thickness, for the depth specified or directed. No compaction or density tests will be required. The remainder of the backfill for the lime sink excavation shall then be constructed of Unclassified Excavation, Borrow, or other designated material in accordance with the requirements for Embankments as required in Section 210. In the event a sink hole occurs in the immediate vicinity of the finished subgrade elevation, the use of concrete seal may be directed. In such case, the same process noted before shall be used up to the bottom elevation designated for the concrete seal. The concrete shall be Class A concrete of the thickness shown on the plans or as directed. Steel reinforcement, if required, will be as provided by the plans or as directed.
224.04Method of Measurement
Measurement for this item will be in cubic yards {cubic meters} computed from field measurements of the material actually removed as directed.
Special backfill material, furnished as directed, will be measured in cubic yards {cubic meters}, loose measurement, or per ton {metric ton} in the transporting vehicle. The boulder or plug will be measured for payment as an estimated number of cubic yards {cubic meters} or an estimated tonnage {metric tonnage}.
When the use of a concrete seal is ordered, measurement will be made in cubic yards {cubic meters} computed from field measurement of concrete actually placed. All reinforcement required will be measured in accordance with Section 502, Steel Reinforcement.
