The Engineer will compare the Resolution Test results with the Quality Control test results. If the Resolution test matches the Quality Control classification, the Engineer will use the Quality Control classification for material acceptance purposes. If the Resolution Test result does not match the Contractor's Quality Control classification, the Verification Test result will be used for material acceptance purposes. 125 EXCAVATION FOR STRUCTURES AND PIPE. (REV 6-25-04) (FA 8-3-04) (7-05) SUBARTICLE 125-4.4 (Pages 168 and 169) is expanded by the following: For pipe trenches utilizing trench boxes, ensure that the trench box used is of sufficient width to permit thorough tamping of bedding material under and around the pipes as specified in 125-8.1.6. Do not disturb the installed pipe and its embedment when moving trench boxes. Move the trench box carefully to avoid excavated wall displacement or damage. As the trench box is moved, fill any voids left by the trench box and continuously place and compact the backfill material adjacent to and all along the side of the trench box walls to fill any voids created by the trench box. SUBARTICLE 125-8.1.1 (Page 169) is deleted and the following substituted: 125-8.1.1 General: Backfill in the Dry whenever normal dewatering equipment and methods can accomplish the needed dewatering. A LOT is defined as one lift of backfill material placement, not to exceed 500 feet [150 m] in length or a single run of pipe connecting two successive structures, whichever is less. Backfill around structures compacted separately from the pipe will be considered as separate LOTs. Backfill on each side of the pipe for the first lift will be considered a separate LOT. Backfill on opposite sides of the pipe for the remaining lifts will be considered separate LOTs, unless the same compactive effort is applied. For multiple phase backfill, a LOT shall not extend beyond the limits of the phase. When placing backfill within a trench box each lift of backfill is considered a LOT. Placement of backfill within trench box limits will be considered a complete operation before trench box is moved for next backfill operation. When the trench box is moved for next backfill operation this will start new LOTs for each lift. SUBARTICLE 125-8.1.6 (Page 170). The first paragraph is deleted and the following substituted: 125-8.1.6 Placement and Compaction: Place the material in horizontal layers not exceeding 6 inches [150 mm] compacted thickness, in depth above water level, behind abutments, wingwalls and end bents or end rest piers, under the haunches of the pipes and around box culverts and all structures including pipe culverts. When the backfill material is deposited in water, compact as specified in 125-8.2.5 and 125-8.3.4. March 2007 01000-35 03-4122.0
