PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION

A. Prior to commencing work, the retaining wall contractor shall examine the areas and conditions

under which the retaining wall system is to be erected, and notify the [Architect] [Engineer] [Owner] [General Contractor] in writing of conditions detrimental to the proper and timely completion of the work. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

B. Promptly notify the wall design engineer of site conditions which may affect wall performance, soil conditions observed other than those assumed, or other conditions that may require a reevaluation of the wall design.

C. Verify the location of existing structures and utilities prior to excavation.

3.02 PREPARATION

A. Ensure surrounding structures are protected from the effects of wall excavation.

B. Excavation support, if required, is the responsibility of the Contractor, including the stability of the excavation and its influence on adjacent properties and structures.

3.03 EXCAVATION

A. Excavate to the lines and grades shown on the Drawings. Over-excavation not approved by the

[Architect] [Engineer] [Owner (or Owner's representative)] will not be paid for by the Owner. Replacement of these soils with compacted fill and/or wall system components will be required at the Contractor's expense. Use care in excavating to prevent disturbance of the base beyond the lines shown.

3.04 FOUNDATION PREPARATION

A. Excavate foundation soil as required for footing or base dimension shown on the Drawings, or as directed by the Project geotechnical engineer.

B. The Project geotechnical engineer will examine foundation soil to ensure that the actual foundation soil strength meets or exceeds that indicated on the Drawings. At the direction of the project geotechnical engineer, remove soil not meeting the required strength. Oversize resulting excavation sufficiently from the front of the block to the back of the reinforcement, and backfill with suitable compacted backfill soils.



C. The Project geotechnical engineer will determine if the foundation soils will require special treatment or correction to control total and differential settlement.

D. Fill over-excavated areas with suitable compacted backfill, as recommended by the Project

geotechnical engineer.

C. Ensure that foundation units are in full contact with the leveling pad.

D. Place concrete wall units side-by-side for full length of wall alignment. Alignment may be done by

using a string line measured from the back of the block. Gaps are not allowed between the foundation concrete wall units.

E. Place drainage aggregate between and directly behind the SRW. Fill any voids in SRW units with

drainage aggregate. Provide a drainage zone behind the SRW units a minimum of 12 inches wide to within 8 inches of the final grade. Cap the backfill and drainage aggregate zone with separation fabric and then 8 inches of low permeability soil.

F. Install drainage pipe at the lowest elevation possible to maintain gravity flow of water to outside of

the reinforced zone. Slope the main collection drainage pipe 2 percent (minimum) to provide gravity flow to the daylighted areas. Daylight the main collection drainage pipe through the face of the wall, and/or to an appropriate location away from the wall system at each low point or at 50 foot (maximum) intervals along the wall. Alternately, the drainage pipe can be connected to a storm sewer system at 50 foot (maximum) intervals.

G. Remove excess fill from top of SRW units and install next course. Ensure drainage aggregate and backfill are compacted before installation of next course.

H. Check each course for level and alignment. Adjust SRW units as necessary to maintain level and

alignment prior to proceeding with each additional course.



I. Install each succeeding course. Backfill as each course is completed. Pull the SRW units forward until the locating surface of the SRW unit contacts the locating surface of the SRW units in the preceding course. Interlock wall segments that meet at corners by overlapping successive courses. Attach SRW units at exterior corners with adhesive specified.

J. Install geosynthetic reinforcement in accordance with geosynthetic manufacturer's

recommendations and the shop drawings. 1. Orient geosynthetic reinforcement with the highest strength axis perpendicular to the wall

face. 2. Prior to geosynthetic reinforcement placement, place the backfill and compact to the

elevation of the top of the wall units at the elevation of the geosynthetic reinforcement. 3. Place geosynthetic reinforcement at the elevations and to the lengths shown on the

Drawings. 4. Lay geosynthetic reinforcement horizontally on top of the SRW units and the compacted

backfill soils. Place the geosynthetic reinforcement within one inch of the face of the SRW units. Place the next course of SRW units on top of the geosynthetic reinforcement.

5. The geosynthetic reinforcement shall be in tension and free from wrinkles prior to placement of the backfill soils. Pull geosynthetic reinforcement hand-taut and secure in place with staples, stakes, or by hand-tensioning until the geosynthetic reinforcement is covered by 6 inches of loose fill.

6. The geosynthetic reinforcements shall be continuous throughout their embedment lengths. Splices in the geosynthetic reinforcement strength direction are not allowed.

7. Do not operate tracked construction equipment directly on the geosynthetic reinforcement. At least 6 inches of compacted backfill soil is required prior to operation of tracked vehicles over the geosynthetic reinforcement. Keep turning of tracked construction equipment to a minimum.
