1006. 3(j) 1006. 3(l) testing at each caisson. T he TIP results will determine conformance with diameter and quality requirements or if additional testing is necessary . If the Representative does not accept the drilled caisson based on the TIP test results , or if the TIP method fails to produce acceptable data, perform CSL testing to evaluate the quality of the drilled caissons. Do not perform CSL testing until a minimum of 96 hours after concrete placement, but before 10 calendar days after placement. Do not perform CSL testing until the concrete has gained sufficient strength for a satisfactory test. Perform CSL testing in the presence of the Representative. Submit CSL reports and evaluations to the Representative within 5 calendar days of completion of CSL testing at each caisson tested. The CSL results will then be used to determine the integrity and acceptability of each drilled caisson tested. CSL is backup testing and is incidental to TIP testing.

(k)Integrity Testing Results . Prepare a drilled caisson integrity testing report for each caisson. At a

minimum, include the following in the report:

• Date of test.

• Description of the testing apparatus unit and probes.

• Identification of testing agency and person responsible for the validity of the test report.

• Identification and location of shaft.

• As-built geometry of shaft including nominal and/or actual diameter and length.

• Arrangement and identification of access tubes and wires, relative separation of tubes and wires, and identifying designation documentation.

• Documentation of water removal and replacement in access tubes, if applicable.

• Thermal profiles including the access location for each profile with temperature and depth axes and scales allowing clear data interpretation (TIP).

• Report any failure of the probes to penetrate the full depth of the access tubes (CSL, if applicable) .

• Initial pulse arrival time or compression wave velocity versus depth (CSL, if applicable) .

• Pulse energy/amplitude versus depth (CSL, if applicable) .

• A log that presents results for each tube/wire pair tested with any anomaly/defect zones indicated on the log and discussed in the report as appropriate.

• Analysis, evaluation, and summary of any defect zones indicated on the logs with recommendations regarding acceptability and soundness.

(l)Evaluation of Integrity Test Results. Based on the results of the drilled caisson integrity testing

reports and other information on the drilled caisson construction, the Representative will decide if each drilled caisson is accepted. The Representative may allow the construction of additional drilled caissons to continue before acceptance of the completed drilled caisson, if observations of th
