C. Overlap connections may be used if the GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR <br /> provides the DESIGN ENGINEER independent test documentation which <br /> demonstrates that the load/deformation characteristics of the overlap of geogrid <br /> materials is equal to or exceeds those of the geogrid. The minimum overlap shall be 3 <br /> feet. <br /> 3.4 FILL PLACEMENT OVER GEOGRID <br /> A. Backfill material shall be placed in lifts and compacted as directed under Section <br /> 02300. Backfill shall be placed, spread, and compacted in such a manner that <br /> minimizes the development of wrinkles in and/or movement of the geogrid. <br /> B. Tracked construction equipment shall not be operated directly on the geogrid. A <br /> minimum fill thickness of 6 inches is required prior to operation of tracked vehicles <br /> over the geogrid. Turning of tracked vehicles should be kept to a minimum to prevent <br /> tracks from displacing the fill and damaging the geogrid. <br /> 3.7 REPAIR <br /> A. Any geogrid damaged during installation shall be replaced by the either the <br /> EARTHWORK CONTRACTOR or GEOSYNTHETICS CONTRACTOR, <br /> depending on the party that caused the damage, at no additional cost to the Owner. <br /> B. Coated geogrids shall not be used if the coating is torn, shedding, cracked, punctured, <br /> flawed or cut, unless a repdir procedure is carried out as approved by the Design <br /> Engineer. The repair procedure shall include placing a suitable patch over the <br /> defective area or applying a coating solution identical to the original coating. <br /> 3.8 PROTECTION <br /> A. Follow the Manufacturer's recommendations regarding protection from exposure to <br /> sunlight. <br /> PART 4 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT (Refer to Section 01200, MEASUREMENT <br /> AND PAYMENT PROCEDURES) <br /> END OF SECTION <br /> Forward Landfill WMU FU-13 <br /> 02779 7 GEOGRID <br />
