a. In accordance with the Contract Documents, provide all
equipment, material, labor, and supervision to install a
Diaphragm Slurry Wall foundation system.
b. Construction of solid reinforced concrete slurry wall
including, but not limited to, the following items:
1. Pre-excavation of existing obstructions along line
of slurry wall and backfilling with appropriate
materials. Excavation of starter trenches and
installation of guide walls.
2. Excavation of slurry filled slots.
3. Circulation and maintenance of bentonite slurry.
4. Placing all keyways and dowels as required for
framing and additional sleeves and anchorage
assemblies as required for tiebacks or temporary
bracing.
5. Placing concrete and reinforcing in the slurry
filled slots as shown on the Drawings.
6. Cleaning of interior face of wall by raking,
brushing, and water jetting, as excavation
proceeds.
7. Cleaning and patching of all areas of voids,
honeycombs, aggregate runs, and pockets.
8. Clean up and removal of excavated soil,
including removal of bentonite slurry from site.
9. Grouting and sealing, as required, to render the
wall watertight at construction joints and other
potential locations of leakage.
10. Cutting of all concrete bulges on the inside face
beyond the specified tolerances.
c. The slurry wall shall be founded on undisturbed soil
strata capable of developing the bearing capacity
indicated on the Drawings. The depth of the slurry wall
has been estimated from the soil borings and some
variation in the depth is to be anticipated.
d. During construction, the slurry wall is intended as a
bulkhead to prevent the ground, streets, utilities and
other structures from damage due to loss of ground and
subsequent movements. The wall's reinforcement and
strength shown on the Drawings, are provided for the
conditions imposed after completion of the slurry wall and
all connecting structural framing and slabs of the
completed building. Temporary loading conditions shall
be verified and compensated for with increased wall
reinforcing and/or wall thickness by the Contractor.
e. In the completed building, the slurry wall is intended as a
basement wall spanning between floors to retain the
surrounding earth, as well as to transmit the loads to a
suitable bearing strata. The inside face of the slurry wall
shall be straight and free from flaws and shall be
watertight. The term ³watertight´ means that no running
water from the wall or formation of droplets on the wall
surface shall be permitted and that only formation of
moist patches -- allowing water to evaporate from the
surface will be permitted.
