325.04 Construction Methods
A.Shipping and Storage Provide separator fabric in wrapper that will protect the fabric from ultraviolet radiation and abrasion from shipping and handling. Label each roll to identify each product for inventory and quality control. In the field, store and protect the fabric rolls from the elements.
B.Installation Before placing fabric, ensure the subgrade is smooth and free of obstructions t hat may damage the fabric. Place the fabric smooth, straight, and free of wrinkles at the locations shown on the Plans. Overlap each transverse joint of fabric (between rolls) with the end of the preceding roll placed above the beginning of the succeeding roll at least 17 in [430 mm]. Place and cover the fabric with base material on the same day. Apply at least 4 in [100 mm] of base material by end dumping. Fill and compact ruts in the base material. Repair damaged fabric in sections that meet the speci fied overlap requirements, at no additional cost to the Department. GEOSYNTHETIC REINFO RCEMENT 326.04

326.01 Description
This work consists of installing geosynthetic reinforcement material beneath the aggregate base layer in the pavement structure, or beneath the roadway embankment. This includes the use of geogrids and geotextiles. Geotextile is made of synthetic fibers manufactured in a woven or loose nonwoven manner to form a blanket -like product used to reinforce soil and rock. Geogrid is a co ntinuous sheet of net -shaped synthetic material formed by tensile elements that reinforce soil and rock by interlocking.
326.02 Materials
Use geosynthetic reinforcement that is an integrally -formed single layer structure. Provide geogrids in accordance wit h Subsection 712.07, "Geogrid Subgrade Reinforcement of Pavement Structures." Provide geotextiles in accordance with Subsection 712.04, “Geotextiles for Subgrade Reinforcement.” 326. 03 EQUIPMENT — VACANT
