Verify that rejected material is removed from the site or stored <br />at a location separate from accepted rolls. Geotextile rolls that do not have proper manufacturer’s <br />documentation must also be stored at a separate location, until all documentation has been received <br />and approved. <br /> <br />4.3.2 Acceptance Testing <br /> <br />Tests. The QA/QC Consultant will ensure that samples are removed and forwarded to the <br />Geosynthetic CQA Laboratory for testing at a frequency of one sample per lot or one per 100,000 sq. <br />ft., whichever is more stringent, to ensure conformance to both the Specifications and the <br />Manufacturers list of guaranteed properties. The material will be sampled at the site by the QA/QC <br />Inspectors or at the manufacturing plant by an independent third party under the direction of the <br />QA/QC Consultant. <br /> <br />As a minimum, the following shall be established for each type of geotextile: <br /> <br /> Weight per ASTM D5261; <br /> Grab Tensile Strength per ASTM D4632 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The QA/QC Manager will review all acceptance test results and report any non-conformance to the <br />Construction Manager and Contractor. <br /> <br />Sampling Procedures. Samples will be taken across the entire width of the roll. Unless otherwise <br />specified, samples will be 3 ft (1 m) long by the roll width. The QA/QC Consultant will mark the <br />machine direction on the samples with an arrow. <br /> <br />Test Results. The QA/QC Consultant will examine all results from laboratory acceptance testing and <br />will report any nonconformance to the Construction Manager. <br /> <br />Acceptance Test Failure. If a Geotextile acceptance sample does not comply with the minimum <br />requirements of the Specifications, the Geotextile roll from which the sample was taken will be <br />failed by the QA/QC Consultant, and replaced by the Geotextile Manufacturer at no additional cost <br />to the Owner. The Design Engineer shall be contacted to determine additional acceptance testing <br />requirements. <br /> <br />
