Effective with the December 2018 Letting 279 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 512 Steel Sheet Piling

512.1Description

(1)This section describes provi ding permanent and temporary steel sheet piling.

512.2Materials

512.2.1 Permanent Steel Sheet Piling

(1)Furnish permanent sheet piling conforming to ASTM A328 and with the section modulus, the plans or

special provisions specify.

(2)Unless specified otherwise, do not furnish used material under the Piling Steel Sheet Permanent bid

items.

(3)Unless the engineer directs ot herwise, the contractor shall su bmit before or at delivery of steel sheet

piling the certified report of test or analysis as specified fo r mill inspection and tests in 506.3.21. 512.2.2 Temporary Steel Sheet Piling

(1)Furnish temporary steel sheet p iling with a section modulus eq ual to or greater than the plans show.

Extend one foot or higher above the retained grade unless the p lans show a gr eater height. The contractor may employ used steel sheet piling in good condition instead of new material. Remove and dispose of temporary sheet p iling when no longer needed.

512.3Construction

512.3.1 Driving and Cutting Off 512.3.1.1 General

(1)Coordinate driving operations to prevent damage or displacemen t of concrete in substructure units or

damage to adjacent facilit ies due to vibrations.

(2)Drive sheeting with a variation of 1/4 inch or less per foot from the vertical or from the batter the plans

show. Ensure that the sheetpiles are within 6 inches of the pla n position after driving. Do not damage sheetpiles attempting to correct for misalignment.

(3)Remove and replace, or otherwise correc t, sheetpiles the engin eer deems unacceptable under 105.3 .

Submit details of planned corrections to the engineer for revie w and approval before initiating any corrective action.

(4)Drive sheetpiles to or beyond the required tip elevation the p lans show.

512.3.1.2 Driving System

(1)Furnish a sheetpile driving system capable of driving the shee tpiles to the required minimum tip

elevation the plans show.

(2)The engineer may order the contractor to remove a pile driving system component from service if it

causes insufficient energy transfer or damages the sheetpiles. Do not return a component to service until the engineer determines that it has been satisfactorily r epaired or adjusted.

(3)Drive sheetpiles with diesel, air, steam, gravity, hydraulic, or vibratory hammers.

512.3.1.3 Cut-Offs

(1)Cut off sheetpiles at the elevations the plans show or as the engineer directs. Pile cut-offs become the

contractor's property. Dispose o f cut-offs not incorporated into the work. 512.3.2 Wales

(1)Brace the steel sheet piling with waling strips as the planss how. Preferably, make the wales one

length between corners and bolt to the piles. 512.3.3 Painting

(1)Paint permanent steel sheet piling as specified for painting steel piling in 550.3.11.3 .

512.4Measurement

(1)The department will measure Pili ng Steel Sheet Permanent Deliv ered by the square foot acceptably

completed. The department will obtain the measured quantity by multiplying the length of the wall the plans show by the length of sheeting required.

(2)The department will measure Pili ng Steel Sheet Permanent Driven by the square foot acceptably

completed. The department will m easure the area of the wall fro m the sheet pile tip elevation to the top cutoff. The department will make no allowance for overlap of th e piles.

(3)The department will measure Piling Steel Sheet Temporary by the square foot acceptably completed.

The department will measure the area from the sheet pile tip el evation to one foot above the retained

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 280 2019 Standard Spec ifications grade unless the plans show a g reater height. The department wi ll make no allowance for overlap of the piles.

512.5Payment

(1)The department will pay for measured quantities at the contrac t unit price under the following bid

items: ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION UNIT

512.0500 Piling Steel Sheet Permanent Delivered SF

512.0600 Piling Steel Sheet Permanent Driven SF

512.1000 Piling Steel Sheet Temporary SF

(2)Payment for Piling Steel Sheet Per manent Delivered is full com pensation for providing and delivering

acceptable piling for this work.

(3)Payment for Piling Steel Sheet P ermanent Driven is full compen sation for driving, cutting off, disposing

of cutoffs, and painting.

(4)Payment for Piling Steel Sheet T emporary is full compensation for providing, driving, and removing.

Effective with the December 2018 Letting 281 2019 Standard Spec ifications Section 513 Railing
