620-3 02

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 VOLUME 3 620-3.02 Stone Filling. Stone filling shall be placed in a manner that will produce a reasonable well - graded mass of stone with smaller stone fragments filling the space between the larger ones, so as to result in the minimum practicable percentage of voids. The final section of stone filling shall be in conformance with the lines, grades, and thicknesses shown in the contract documents. Stone filling used for bank or channel protection shall be placed to its full course thickness in one operation, unless specified in the special provisions, and in such a manner that the underlying material will not be displaced or worked into the layer of stone filling. Placement of stone upon finished bedding material, when used, shall be carefully controlled to avoid disr uption and damage to the layer of bedding material. The stone shall be so placed and distributed that there will be no pockets of uniform size material. The desired distribution of the various sizes of stone throughout the mass shall be obtained by selective loading of the material at the quarry or other source; by controlled dumping of successive loads during final placing; or by other methods of placement which will produce the specified results. Rearranging of individual stones by mechanical equipment or by hand will be r equired to the extent necessary to secure the specified results. When stone filling is dumped under water, methods shall be used that will minimize segregation.

620-3.03 Dry Rip -Rap. The stones shall be placed so that the dimension approximately equal to the layer

thickness is perpendicular to the slope surface and that the weight of the stone is carried by the underlying material and not by the adjacent stones. On slopes, the largest stones shall be placed at the bottom of the slope. The dry rip -rap shall be properly aligned and placed so as to minimize void spaces between the adjacent stones. The spaces between the stones shall be filled with spalls of suitable s ize.

620-3.04 Grouted Rip -Rap. The procedure of placing the stones shall be the same as described in §620 -

3.03 Dry Rip -Rap except that the space between stones shall be filled with grout rather than spalls. Material upon which the grouted rip -rap is laid shall not be allowed to occupy the space between the stones. When the stones are in place, the spaces between them shall be completely filled with grout and the surface of the stones cleaned to remove accumulation of grout. Rip -rap shall not be grouted in freezing weather. The grouted rip -rap shall be kept moist for seven days after grouting. A suitable curing compound may be employed, if approved by the Engineer. The Engineer may direct that occasional spaces be left ungrouted for relief of hydrostatic pressure. The ungrouted spaces shall be chinked with spalls of suitable size.

620-3.05 Bedding Material. Where called for in the contract documents, stone filling and dry rip -rap

shall be placed on bedding material. The bedding material shall be placed on the prepared area to the full specified thickness of each layer in one operation, using methods which wil l not cause segregation of particle sizes. Contamination of bedding material by natural soils or other materials shall be prevented. Bedding material that becomes contaminated shall be removed and replaced with uncontaminated bedding material at no additional cost to the State.

620-3.06 Concrete Block Paving. Blocks shall be laid on a 3 in. bed of cushion sand in running bond

with the long dimension transverse to the slope and all joints tight. Blocks shall be set slightly higher than their final position and carefully hand tamped into their final position to p rovide a uniformly even surface and solid bedding under each block. In the areas where grouting is called for, the block shall be laid in running bond with the length parallel to the slope and with ¼ in. joints. Following the laying of blocks, in the area to be grouted, sufficient mortar sand shall be spread over the surfa ce and swept into the joints to fill the latter to 4 in. from the surface. The block shall be wetted before any grout is placed. The joints shall be filled with grout from the bottom flush with the top of the block.

620-3 07

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 VOLUME 3 After grouting has been completed and the grout has sufficiently hardened, the blocks shall be wetted, covered and cured with curing covers for the first seven days after grouting. Grout shall not be poured during freezing weather.

620-3.07 Gabions. Each gabion unit shall be assembled by binding together all vertical edges with wire

ties on approximately 6 in. spacing or by a continuous piece of connecting wire stitched around the vertical edges with a coil about every 4 in. Empty gabion units shall b e set to line and grade as shown in the contract documents. For structural integrity, wire ties or connecting wire shall be used to join the gabions together along the perimeter of all contact surfaces according to the manufacturer's inst ructions. Internal tie wires shall be uniformly spaced and securely fastened in each outside cell of the structure in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or where ordered by the Engineer. When gabions are being placed as slope protection, the c ross-connecting wire may be deleted if directed by the Engineer. A fence stretcher, chain fall, or iron rod may be used to stretch the wire baskets and hold alignment. The gabions shall be filled with stone, carefully placed by hand or machine, to ensure alignment and avoid bulges with a minimum of voids. After a gabion has been filled, the lid shall be bent over until it meets the side and edges. The lid shall then be s ecured to the sides, ends, and diaphragms with wire ties or connective wire in the same manner described above for assembly.

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 VOLUME 3 the contract plans to facilitate their use of Automated Machine Guidance, at no additional cost to the State. A request by the Contractor to use Automated Machine Guidance shall be made as part of the Contract Control Plan. The Contractor developed terra in model surfaces shall be shared with the Engineer in a Department accepted format prior to beginning construction operations. Generation of proposed terrain model surfaces or other electronic engineering data does not constitute a redesign of the projec t, and the Contractor retains all responsibility to complete the work in accordance with the engineering intent conveyed in the contract documents unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Engineer.

625-3.02 Survey Operations. All Survey Operations shall follow either Traditional Survey Stakeout or

Automated Stakeout and Automated Machine Guidance Operations , or a combination of both, for the establishment, positioning, equipment guidance or verification of construction items. The proposed method shall be approved by the Engineer as part of the Contract Control Plan prior to beginning any field construction operations. Both methods include the same basic requirements that: (1) both parties (Contractor and Department) utilize the same contract control, the same existing terrain data, and the same proposed feature data; (2) both parties utilize the same accuracy and tolerance limits; and (3) both parties utilize equivalent survey verification techniques to ensure that field features are constructed as proposed. The Contractor shall establish the center line of bearings for all bridge abutments and piers, by setting offset hubs or reference points, so located and protected to ensure they remain undisturbed until such time as they are no longer needed. The Contrac tor shall mark the location of anchor bolts to be installed, establish the elevation of bearing surfaces and check bearing plates to ensure installation at their proper elevation. Before the erection of structural steel or concrete beams the Contractor sh all verify the locations, both vertically and horizontally, of all bearings and the distances between associated bearings. Control used to establish center line of bearings shall be included in the contract control plan. On contracts which include proposed and existing roadway alignments and profiles, the Contractor shall verify the roadway tie -in locations of where existing and proposed alignments meet prior to beginning construction operations and report the results to t he Engineer. This requirement is intended to verify that no changes have occurred to the existing roadway and that the proposed design is buildable as designed.

625-3 03

NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Section 600 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS (USC) January 1, 202 4 VOLUME 3 the Contractor and Engineer shall mutually determine acceptable uses of and procedures for the technology being used, and how data can be exchanged for use in stakeout, automated machine operations, positional verification, quantity measurements and calcul ations. All record copies of engineering data shall be stored and shared in Department accepted standard formats, and shall be derived primarily from the original electronic data, when provided by the Department. Automated survey operations have a high reliance on accurate control networks from which to make measurements, establish positions, and verify geospatial locations of features. Therefore, a strong contract control network in the field which is consistent with the project control used during the design of the contract is essential to the successful use of these technologies with the proposed digital terrain model and alignments. Consistent and well designed site calibration (localization) for all automated machine guidance, as described above under Contract Control Plan , is required to ensure the quality of the contract deliverables. The Contract Control Plan is intended to document which local horizontal and vertical control will be will be used for calibration during construction operations and how that calibration or adjustment will be maintained along the entire contract length. Continued incorporation of NYS CORS Network is essential to maintaining the integrity of positional locations and elevations of features. The Engineer may perform quality assurance verifications of feature positions at any time during the contract. Dimensional tolerances shall hold a higher order of precedence than positional tolerances, but both may require verification. Quality assurance activities by the Engineer will not relieve the Contractor of any responsibilities for the quality control of the accuracy or completeness of the work. The Department’s verification of the positional locations of features, calculation and merging of supplemental terrain data surfaces, and the measurement and calculation for quantity payments will be performed using Department standard software. Both the Contractor and the Department shall utilize the following standards: (1) All terrain data collected for the purpose of being used for or merged with Department provided terrain data for the calculation of pay quantities shall be delivered in a format and correctly display in accordance with the current Departmental CADD Standards. (2) The Department will maintain record copies of electronic data files which will be available to the Contractor using the Department’s designated file management system or oth er method. This will ensure that both parties utilize the same credible data from which to establish locations and measure quantities. The Department will provide all available CADD resource files for use by the Contractor. The Contractor may choose to introduce an additional new automated survey method or technology which involves a new technique for positioning features, measuring quantities, or verifying constructed locations. The quality and accuracy of this data produce d by this method shall be demonstrated to the Engineer, for acceptance, by a comparison of this method to previously accepted techniques over a mutually agreed upon portion of the work. The new technology shall meet or exceed the quality and accuracy resu lts provided by previously accepted techniques, and the Engineer shall make the final determination as to the acceptability of its use based on the resulting performance, cost savings, safety and effectiveness of the operation. Previous uses of this same method on other contracts or by other contractors are not acceptable evidence of a technology’s viability, due to inherent variations in operator’s experience levels, data availability, changing field conditions and differing technologies.

625-3.03 Right of Way Markers. The Contractor shall verify with the Engineer that it has the most

current vested Right of Way Acquisition Maps to determine the geospatial positions of all proposed right of way markers. Right of way markers are indicated in the contract for approximat e locations and quantities, and shall not be positioned according to the contract information, but rather by the positions shown for the equivalent points on the ROW Maps. Right of way marker locations shall be determined under the direction of a Land Surveyor from a closed traverse or GPS network which is included in the contract control plan and in accordance with Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGCC) C2 -II, Second -Orde r, Class II (1 part in 20,000) accuracy,

625-3 04

The Contractor shall install right of way markers at the station/offset positions specified on the vested Right of Way Acquisition Maps in accordance with the Standard Sheets to within an absolute positional tolerance of 0.065 ft relative to the primary pr oject control network. The Land Surveyor shall certify the as -built location of each installed right of way marker on certification forms provided by the Engineer, including contract information, and control line station and offset (proposed and as -built) to the marker. The rec ord location of all right of way markers shall be recorded to the nearest 0.01 ft and reflect as -built coordinates from a closed traverse or GPS network which is included in the contract control plan and in accordance with FGCC C2 -II, Second -Order, Class I I (1 part in 20,000) accuracy. Prior to placing the cap on a steel pin right of way marker, the cap shall be filled 2/3 full of silicone sealant and then fastened to the bar by threading or by force fit. During the driving operation for the steel pin right of way marker, the lettering on the cap shall be protected by the use of a metal sleeve or cushion block. The marker shall be driven so that the cap is flush with the ground surface.

625-3.04 Permanent Survey Markers . The Contractor shall install permanent survey markers in

accordance with the standard sheet at locations described in the contract documents and approved by the Engineer prior to installation.

Thin -walled tube samples shall be taken in the strata designated by the Engineer. Samples shall be recovered with a stationary piston type sampler or a hydraulically operated piston sampler, modified to accept the thin -walled tubes specified in §732 -05. Samplers with piston rods extending to the ground surface must be provided with clamps which positively lock the piston against upward travel during lowering of the sampler until the sampling depth is reached. During the press the piston rods shall be loc ked in a stationary position to eliminate any movements either up or down. In addition, the sampler shall also be provided with positive locks to secure the piston rods prior to removal of the sampler after penetration. At the elevation to be sampled, the tube shall be pressed into the soil with a continuous motion a distance of 18 inches. Care must be taken to allow air and water to flow freely through the vent thus preventing compression of the soil sample. After pres sing to the required depth and waiting for 5 minutes, the sampler shall be carefully rotated and removed from the hole. During the removal of the sampler the hole shall be kept full of fluid. Before the thin -walled tube is removed from the piston, the piston rod shall be backed off to admit air past the flattened threads to break the vacuum. For other approved types of eq uipment, the necessary vacuum breaking measures shall be taken. The length of sample in the tube and also the distance pressed, shall be measured and recorded. Should a thin -walled sample not be retained, a 2 inch driven sample shall be taken. The bottom of the sample shall be carefully squared off at least 1 inch back from the end of the tube and a wax seal, approximately 1 inch thick, shall be poured in the bottom end of the tube. The soil at the top of the tube shall be carefully squared off and a wax seal, approximately 1/2 inch thick, shall be poured. Any space remaining between the top or bottom of the sample tube and the wax seal shall be filled with sawdust or paper after the wax has hardened. Wax will be furnished by the Geotechnical Engineering Bureau. The ends of the tubes shall be sealed with snugly fitting plastic caps which shall be secured in place with friction tape. Wax shall not be placed on the outside of the tube. Labels shall be placed on the tube below center and secure d with strips of tape.
