Construction Tolerances. Comply with Article 2433.03, A, of the Standard Specifications, with the following exceptions:

a.Set reinforcing steel as detailed in the contract documents.
b.The top elevation of the shaft may have a tolerance of +1 inch or -2

inches from the plan top of shaft elevation. Ensure sufficient reinforcement bar splice length for splices above the shaft.

2.

Control and Disposal of Materials. Comply with Article 2433.03, C.

3.

Shaft Excavation. Comply with Article 2433.03, D, with the following exceptions:

a.A drilling log will not be required.
b.Shaft construction need not immediately follow shaft excavation.

4.

Final Cleaning.

a.Comply with Articles 2433.03, F, 1; 2; and 3.
b.For slurry shafts, the Engineer will check the cleanliness of the

bottom of the shaft with a weighted tape.

5.

Excavation Inspection. Comply with Article 2433.03, G.

6.

Reinforcing Steel Cage Construction and Placement. Comply with Article 2433.03, H.

7.

Concrete Placement. Comply with Article 2433.03, I, except that rock sockets shall not apply.

Precast Noise Wall. 1.

Concrete Columns. Place concrete columns as follows:

a.Set plum, unless otherwise shown in the contract documents.
b.Set and secured in place to the dimensions shown in the contract

documents, prior to concrete placement, unless temporary casing is used.

c.Final vertical and horizontal position of the concrete columns shall

be within a 1/2 inch of that shown in the contract documents.

d.The wall panel seat area shall be level and within 1/4 inch of the

elevation shown in the contract documents.

e.If temporary casing is used, concrete columns can be pushed into

plastic shaft concrete a maximum of 5 feet. Confirm correct location of reinforcing steel cage after removal of temporary casing and before setting the concrete column in the plastic shaft concrete. Vibrate around embedded concrete columns to consolidate the plastic concrete without causing segregation.
