NOTE: Before manufacture, you may request approval of modified designs that differ from the Specifications Certification Material Requirements Other Modifications Coarse aggregate Subsection 800.2.01 Gradation requirements do not apply Fine aggregate Subsection 801.2.02 Gradation requirements do not apply Fly ash Subsection 831.2.03.A None Water Subsection 880.2.01 None a. File a certificate with the Engineer stating that the concrete pipe manufactured for Department use meets the requirements of reinforcement steel specified in this Section. A bonded legal authority of the manufacturing company shall endorse the requirements certification. b. Submit a guarantee with the certificate stating that concrete pipe will be replaced, without cost to the purchaser, if the reinforcement steel does not meet these specifications. c. Ensure that the guarantee remains in effect as long as the manufacturer furnishes concrete pipe for Department use. d. This guarantee does not limit the right of the Department to inspect and check the materials in manufactured concrete pipe prior to and during pipeline construction. B.
