701.03 Construction.

701.03.01 Pipe Foundations. Take soundings for the pipe foundation design at the

inlet and outlet, and along the grade line of each culvert on 20 foot intervals. Take the soundings to a depth of 1/2 inch per foot of embankment height (measured from the crown of the pipe to the maximum fill height) or 24 inches, whichever is greater. Where rock foundations (ledge rock, gravel, hardpan or other unyielding material) are encountered or known to exist within the limits specified, prepare the foundation according to the Standard Drawings. Where unstable (soft) foundations are encountered at the established grade line, remove the material that the Engineer determines is unstable and replace with a material conforming to Subsection 701.02.04. The Department will determine the depth of the over excavation by a soils investigation for the specific structure. Wrap the replacement material in geotextile fabric when backfilling.

701.03.02 Trench Conditions. Install all pipe in excavated trenches. Where an

embankment condition exists, excavate the trench only after constructing the embankment according to Section 206 to an elevation equal to, or greater than, the minimum cover height of the pipe.

701.03.03 Pipe Bedding.

701.03.04 Pipe Hauling, Handling, and Installation. Furnish a copy of the

manufacturer’s handling and installation procedures to the Engineer before beginning work. Ensure that pipe structures do not sustain damage during loading, unloading, placement on the bedding, compaction of the backfill, by movement of excessively heavy equipment over the fill, or by any other forces that may cause damage. Repair or replace damaged structures as the Engineer directs. Remove and replace any structure that is not constructed to true alignment or shows undue settlement after installation, or is otherwise damaged, without additional compensation.

701.03.05 Joints. Provide soil tight joints. Wrap all pipe joints with a geotextile

fabric. The Department will require remediation for pipe sections that do not meet the requirements of the specifications in accordance with the joint separation table in Section 701.05.

701.03.06 Initial Backfill. Locate a suitable backfill source for each project. For

backfill containing soils, have an AASHTO accredited lab classify the material, run a standard proctor, and certify that the material conforms to the specified granular material. Keep the material certification on file and available to the Engineer upon request. Place the backfill material in a trench condition as the Contract specifies. Use 6-inch lifts and ensure the backfill is compacted to not less than 95 percent of the maximum density as determined according to KM 64-511. When the top of the pipe is within one pipe diameter of the subgrade, backfill with flowable fill to an elevation of one foot above the pipe from the outside edge of shoulder or back of curb to outside edge of shoulder or back of curb as applicable. When installing under existing pavement, backfill with flowable fill to the subgrade elevation. When granular backfill is used, the surrounding conditions are not similar in gradation, and the pipe is located within the area bounded by the centerline and a distance 25 feet outside the edge of shoulder or back of curb, as applicable, wrap the bedding and granular backfill in geotextile fabric. The Department will not require geotextile fabric for entrance pipe. When geotextile fabric is required according to this section or the Engineer’s direction, install according to Section 214. When the Contract specifies, perform quality control testing to verify compaction according to KM 64-512. The Department may verify the density results at any time of the duration of the project.

701.03.07 Construction Loads. Do not allow construction equipment or traffic to

travel over the top of the structure material until the fill is compacted to a minimum depth of 48 inches over the top of the structure. The Engineer may require temporary cover where the final grade is less than 48 inches. The Engineer may raise but will not lower the minimum cover based on the pipe manufacturer’s recommendations.

701.03.08 Inspection of Pipe. The engineer will visually inspect all pipe.

The Department will require camera/video inspection on projects that have more than 250 linear feet of storm sewer and/or culvert pi pe and on routes with an ADT of greater than 1,000 vehicles. Conduct camera/video insp ections in accordance with KM 64-114 on 100 percent of the pipes that are located under the road and 50 percent of the pipes that are not under the road. Storm sewer runs and outfall pipes not under the roadway take precedence over rural entrance pipes. Camera/video and laser deflection inspection must be completed by a prequalified contractor that has been certified according to KM 64-114. Contractors performing this item of work must be prequalified with the Department in the work type J51 (Video Pipe Inspection and Cleaning). Testing performed by a company failing to meet these requirements will result in non-payment of the pipeline video inspection and non-certification of the pipe tested. Deflection testing using the laser deflection method shall be limited to pipe up to 48 inches in diameter. Deflection testing using physical measurements is limited to pipes where adequate access is available and to pipes 48 inches and larger in diameter. Mandrel or physical measuring will be used for pipes larger than 48 inches in diameter. Deflection testing is not required for concrete pipe. The pipe to be tested will be selected in complete runs (junction-junction or headwall-headwall). Provide a pipe inspection summarization report in accordance with KM 64-114. Unless the Engineer directs otherwise, schedule the inspections no sooner than 30 days after completing the installation and completion of earthwork to within 1 foot of the finished subgrade. When final surfacing conflicts with the 30-day minimum, conduct the inspections prior to placement of the final surface. The contractor must ensure that all pipes are free, clear of any debris, and as dry as possible so that a complete inspection can be performed. Notify the Engineer a minimum of 24 hours in advance of inspection and notify the engineer immediately if distresses or locati ons of improper installation are discovered. When camera testing shows distresses or improper installation in the installed pipe, the Engineer may require additional sections to be tested. Provide the video and report to the Engineer when testing is complete in accordance with KM 64-114. Pipes that exhibit distress or signs of improper installation may necessitate repair or removal as the Engineer directs. These signs include, but are not limited to: deflection, cracking, joint separation, sagging or other interior damage. If flexible pipes exceed the deflection and installation thresholds indicated in the Flexible Pipe Deduction Table in Section 701.05, provide the Department with an evaluation of each location conducted by a Professional Engineer addressing the severity of the deflection, structural integrity, environmental conditions, design service life, and an evaluation of the factor of safety using Section 12, “Buried Structures and Tunnel Li ners,” of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Based on the evaluation, the Department may allow the pipe to remain in place at a reduced unit price as shown in the Flexible Pipe Deduction Table in Section 701.05. Provide 10 business days for the Department to review the evaluation. When the pipe shows deflection of 10 percent or greater, remove and replace the pipe. When laser deflection results are called into question, the Department may require direct measurements and/or mandrel testing. If rigid pipes exceed the cracking and installation thresholds 701-6 indicated in the Rigid Pipe Remediation Table in Section 701.05, provide the Department with an evaluation of each location conducted by a Professional Engineer addressing the severity of the cracking, structural integrity, environmental conditions, design service life, and an evaluation of the factor of safety us ing Section 12, “Buried Structures and Tunnel Liners,” of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Based on the evaluation, the Department may allow the pipe to remain in place if the cracking is remediated according to an approved remediation plan submitted in writing to the Engineer by the Contractor as shown in the Rigid Pipe Remediation Table in Section 701.05. Provide 10 business days for the Department to review the evaluation. When the pipe shows cracking of .1 inches or greater, remediate or replace the pipe as directed by the Engineer. When the camera/video cracking results are called into question, the Department may require direct measurements. The Cabinet may elect to conduct Quality Assurance verifications of any pipe inspections. These verification inspections will be performed by the Kentucky Transportation Center. The Division of Constr uction shall be contacted by the Engineer when verification testing is needed.

current recommendations for adhesives and installation procedures to the Engineer. Use one brand and design throughout the project for each type of marker required. The Contract or Standard Drawings will specify either mono-directional or bi- directional markers, and the marker color. Remove all excess adhesive from in front of the reflective faces. If any adhesive or foreign matter cannot be removed from the reflective faces, or if any marker fails to properly adhere to the pavement surface, remove and replace the marker.

712.03.01 Type IV Markers. Before installing new markers, remove all portions of

the existing Type IV marker, and all traces of adhesive, rust, and dirt from the casting, to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Abrasive blast or use other methods approved by the Engineer. Ensure that the casting surface is dry and free from dirt and other deleterious material before placing the marker in the casting. Place adhesive on the marker or casting in sufficient quantity to ensure complete coverage of the contact area with no voids present and with a slight excess after the marker is pressed in place. Firmly seat the marker in the casting with a minimum load of 100 pounds. Ensure that the pavement surface temperature is at or above 45 ºF at the time of application. Conform to a higher temperature if recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.

712.03.02 Type V Markers. Install Type V Markers in slots cut into the pavement

according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not cut the slots until the pavement has cured sufficiently to prevent tearing or raveling. Prepare the pavement surfaces, and install the markers according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the following requirements. Remove all dirt, grease, oil, loose or unsound layers, and any other material from the marker area which would reduce the bond of the adhesive. Maintain pavement surfaces in a clean condition until placing markers. Ensure that the adhesive bed area is equal to the bottom area of the marker, and apply adhesive in sufficient quantity to force excess out around the entire perimeter of the marker. Use materials, equipment, and construction procedures that ensure proper adhesion of the markers to the pavement surface.

712.03.03 Inlaid Pavement Markers. Install Inlaid Pavement Markers in recessed

grooves cut into the final course of asphalt pavement according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not cut the grooves until the pavement has cured sufficiently to prevent tearing or raveling. Cut installation grooves using diamond blades on saws that accurately control groove dimensions. Remove al l dirt, grease, oil, loose or unsound layers, and any other material from the marker area which would reduce the bond of the adhesive. Maintain pavement surfaces in a clean condition until placing marker. Prepare the pavement surfaces, and install the markers in the recessed grove according to the standard drawing or sepia. Use an approved snowplowable epoxy adhesive. Ensure that the adhesive bed area is equal to the bottom area of the marker, and apply adhesive in sufficient quantity to force excess out around the entire perimeter of the marker. Use materials, equipment, and construction procedures that ensure proper adhesion of the 712-1 markers to the pavement surface according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

712.03.04 Location and Spacing. Install markers as specified on the current Standard

Drawings or sepias. Install Inlaid Pavement Markers in the pattern for high reflectivity with two (2) Inlaid Pavement Markers per groove. Do not install markers in bridge decks. Under no circumstances install a marker on top of a pavement joint or crack and maintain the minimum 1 inch offset to the stripe. Offset markers a minimum of 2 inches from any longitudinal pavement joint or crack and at least one inch from the painted stripe, ensuring that the finished line of markers is straight with minimal lateral deviation. Preference should be given to maintaining the 2-inch offset between marker and joint as opposed to keeping the line of markers straight. If conflicts between marker placement in relation to pavement joint and striping cannot be resolved, markers may be eliminated with the Engineer’s approval. Place Type V markers as much in line with existing pavement striping as possible. For facilities with double yellow centerlines, place markers between the 2 lines provided the minimum 2-inch gap requirement between the marker and the longitudinal pavement joint or crack is not violated. For instances when the double yellow centerline may bound the longitudinal pavement joint or crack, use judgment to determine which side of the painted stripe would be suitable for marker installation. Place markers installed along an edgeline or channelizing line so that the near edge of the casting is no more than one inch from the near edge of the line maintaining a minimum of 2 inches from any longitudinal paving joint or crack. Place markers installed along a lane line or dashed yellow centerline between and in line with the dashes. Do not place markers over the lines except where the lines deviate visibly from their correct alignment, and then only when the Engineer approves the location.

712.04 MEASUREMENT. The Department will measure the quantity by each

individual unit. For Inlaid Pavement Marker, one (1) installation will consist of grooving the pavement, removing asphalt cuttings and debris, preheating pavement to remove moisture, adhesives, and installation of two (2) markers with all lenses.

720.02.03 Paint. Conform to Section 821.

720.03 CONSTRUCTION. Fabricate all handrails according to the details specified in

the Plans or on Standard Drawings. When erected, ensure that all posts, except on bridges, are vertical and the rails are true to the alignment indicated. Set bridge railing posts at right angles to th e fascia line, perpendicular to grade, and erect tubing parallel to the fascia line. Use washer shims not exceeding 1/8 inch in thickness between the concrete and post base to obtain post or tubing alignment. Fasten railing to the concrete as specified in the Plans. Where aluminum is in contact with concrete, thoroughly coat the contacting surfaces with alumilastic compound or approved equal so as to completely insulate the aluminum from the concrete; or where bond between aluminum and concrete is desired, coat the aluminum with commercially available zinc chromate paint, and allow it to dry before installing it. Paint plain steel handrail according to Subsection 607.03.23. The Department will not require painting of galvanized handrail, except paint all exposed threads as required for plain handrail.

721.01 DESCRIPTION. Furnish and erect fence and gates of the height and type

specified in the Plans, supported by steel, concrete, or timber posts along the inside limits of the right-of-way or at other locations shown or otherwise designated and at grades designated during construction.

721.02 Materials.

721.02.01 Woven Wire Fencing. Conform to Section 816.

721.02.02 Chain Link Fencing . Conform to Section 817.

721.02.03 Concrete . Conform to Subsection 601.02 and 601.03.

721.03 CONSTRUCTION. Before starting fencing operations, remove all brush,

stumps, logs, and debris that will interfere with the proper construction of the fence. Remove or trim sound standing trees in the fence line as directed. Construct fence with new materials according to the Standard Drawings and as specified in this section. Install fence as one of the first construction operations. Where it is impractical to install fence initially in its final form or location, obtain written permission from adjacent property owners either to permit construction of a suitable temporary fence or to delay fence erection until such time as the permanent fence may be erected. Where tying fence to a new structure, erect a temporary fence until such time as the structure is complete and the permanent fence can be anchored to the structure in the manner specified in the Plans. Install fence 18 inches inside the right-of-way line or in other locations specifically indicated. Install fence facing the property owner except on horizontal curves. On horizontal curves install the fence to pull against all pos ts. Apply sufficient tension between pull posts to make the fence stock tight. Install pull posts at all breaks in horizontal alignment of the fence, and at sharp breaks in vertical alignment. For tangents and curves up to one degree, space pull posts a maximum of 500 feet on centers; ensure that curves over one degree to 4 degrees have pull posts spaced a maximum of 250 feet on centers; and curves over 4 degrees have pull posts installed each time the angle of deflection increases 5 degrees. Use any Class concrete according to Subsection 601.03.

721.03.01 Setting Posts. Set all posts at the required depths and intervals designated

in the Contract. Set posts plumb and in true alignment on the side where the wire is attached. Dig holes for posts to full depth and with sufficient diameter to allow proper tamping and compaction of the backfill. Use sound earth for the backfill and tamp it in place until the post is firm and rigid in its position. Set wood posts with the butt end down. When encountering solid rock at grade or below, drill a hole one foot deep and slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the post or brace in the rock, and grout in the post. At line posts where top of rock is 8 inches or le ss below grade, remove the anchor plate. Backfill all excavation above rock, below grade, in 4 to 6-inch layers and tamp each layer thoroughly in place. Field cut posts and braces to fit maximum depth whenever encountering solid rock. Set all end, gate, corner, and pull posts, and anchor them in concrete placed to the top of the ground, finished smooth, and sloped to drain. Brace all end, gate, and corner posts. Brace pull posts in 2 directions. Brace corner posts in the direction of each line of the fence. Anchor the metal braces from the metal posts in concrete that is crowned at the top to shed water. Brace wood or concrete posts with a pole or bar of the same type of material as the post. When using wood posts, notch the braced post and adjacent line posts one inch deep at one foot from the top of the finished post to receive the brace pole. Secure the brace pole to the posts by spiking or other means. Loop galvanized smooth wire having a minimum diameter of 0.148 inch around the braced 721-1 post near the ground, and then loop it around the line post at 12 inches below its top continuing between the posts until 4 strands of wire are in place and the ends of the wire are securely fastened together. Then twist the strands of wire together until the brace pole is in compression. Do not allow the compression to be great enough to cause lateral springing in the brace pole. Allow concrete anchors to cure for at least 5 days before erecting the fence.

721.03.02 Fencing. Tie any intersecting fence to an independent pull post.

Stretch woven wire fabric taut and securely fasten it to each post. Accomplish stretching with a stretcher that will produce equal tension in each line wire. Stretch fabric until the tension is just below the point of pr oducing displacement in the tension crimps. At each end, corner, or gate post, cut and turn each strand of line wire around the post and tie it back to itself with no less than 3 turns. When it is necessary to splice 2 sections of fence, make the splice by placing together the end stay wires of each section, and twist the end of each line wire around the stay wires and back onto itself with no less than 3 turns; or splice the fence by using Engineer approved splicing sleeves designed for that purpose. Attach the fence to each wood post with a staple for each line wire and as many additional staples as necessary to firmly secure the wire. Furnish galvanized staples having a nominal diameter of 0.148 inch and a length of no less than one inch in length, for hardwood posts. When using treated softwood posts, furnish staples that are 1 1/2 inches long. Securely attach the woven wire fa bric as shown on the Standard Drawings. Use tension wires and rails in erection of chain link fences as shown on the Standard Drawings. When shown on the Standard Drawings, place, stretch taut, and secure at ends the top or bottom tension wires to all posts in a manner before placing fabric. When a top rail is required, secure the bar at each end be fore stretching and tying the fabric. Secure ends of the fabric with stretcher bars threaded through the loops of the fabric and secured to the posts by means of clamps with bolts and nuts. Use the number of clamps as indicated. Place the fabric by securing one end and applying sufficient tension to remove all slack before making attachments elsewhere. Fasten the fabric to the line posts and to the top tension wire or to the top rail, with tie wires or bands as called for in Section 817 or as the Contract designates. Determine the number of tension bands required per post of chain link fence by taking the height of the fence in feet and subtracting one. Space tie wires for attaching chain link fence to the top tension wire or top rail on 24-inch centers. Space tie wires for attaching chain link fence to intermediate or line posts on 14-inch centers. Space tie wires on chain link gates on 24-inch centers. Install the chain link fence around utility installations facing the highway with the barbed wire arms at a 45 degree angle extending toward the highway. Design and install post caps for all tubular posts so as to exclude moisture from inside the posts, and install socket type brace end connections so as to exclude moisture from inside the rails.

721.03.03 Gates . Erect gates at locations specified in the Plans or as the Engineer

directs. Erect the gate plumb with its hinges firmly attached to the post and to the gate. Allow the gate to swing freely when opened. Install the latch so it works easily and secures the gate when closed. Furnish water gates of the specified type that conform to the Plans and Standard Drawings.

721.03.04 Finishing . Ensure that the tops of all posts are at a uniform height above

the ground or at a uniform distance above the top of the woven wire fabric. After erecting the fence, saw the tops of wood posts uniformly at least 2 inches above the strand of barbed wire. Make the cut at an angle of 60 degrees to the vertical on the side of the post away from the wire. Ensure that the finished fence is true to line, taut, and solid at all points. Dispose of all surplus excavated material and other debris resulting from construction and leave the fence line with a neat and orderly appearance. 721-2
