Pre-drill in certain soil types as specified in the Soil Classification for Steel Screw In Foundation

Installation table in this section may be allowed when soils are difficult. Obtain Engineer’s approval before predrilling.

Predrill the area of install meeting the following requirements: (1) Pre-drill without removing the soil, (2) Use an auger with a maximum diameter of:

(2.1) 6 in for a Light Foundation Design E and P, (2.2) 8 in for a Light Foundation Design H,

(3) Drill no deeper than the length of the foundation, and

(4) Before installing steel screw in foundations place the soil back in holes to the level of the

surrounding ground surface. Do not compact soil. Do not install steel screw in foundations in pre-excavated holes or drilled shafts. Do not install steel screw in foundations in frozen soils.

Original staked locations for foundations may be moved no more than 10 feet in either direction

parallel to the roadway to secure a more desirable location when soil conditions are questionable, or very dense or difficult. Obtain approval from the District Traffic Office before moving staked locations.

When rock or other conflicts are encountered during the installation process that prevents the foundation from being installed in accordance with contract documents, relocate the foundation 5 feet to 10 feet in either direction parallel to the roadway from the originally staked location.

Backfill unused holes made during steel screw in foundation installation attempts. Install a concrete light foundation, design type as specified in the Plan, if the District Traffic

Office determines the soil condition or the placement of the staked location is not suitable for a steel screw in foundation. Installation of the concrete light foundation is at no additional cost to the Department.


34-SL

Install concrete light foundations, design type as specified in the Plan, where Design E and H

foundations will be surrounded by bituminous or concrete. Install preformed joint filler between concrete and the steel screw in foundation, where a Design P

foundation will be surrounded by concrete.

Turn the foundations so that mast arms and davits of light poles are perpendicular to the centerline of the roadway unless specified elsewhere in contract documents.

Turn the foundation shaft cableways parallel with the roadway unless specified elsewhere in contract documents or when directed by the Engineer. Use the notched cableway indicators located on the top of the foundation base plate to achieve the required placement of shaft cableways.

As the foundations are screwed into the ground ensure the shaft alignment is within a tolerance of 1/4 in per 5 feet of depth. Install foundations plumb. Ensure the foundation base plate is level from side to side and front to back and the top of the foundation is flush with the ground line when the installation is complete.

Backfill and compact the cable or conduit trench.

Secure approval from the Engineer for any changes to the Electrical Service as reflected in the Plan.

No measurement is made of the various items that constitute Electrical Service, however this work is included as part of the project (the electrical service costs will not be paid for as part of the pay item). Provide the Engineer a copy of the invoice from the electric utility. Payment is the electric utility company invoice cost plus 10%. The payment is compensation in full for all costs incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, providing power to service cabinets, electric utility fees, Electric Utility Coordination, notifying MnDOT of ownership details, and all materials and labor necessary to construct the Electrical Service.
