GROUND TREATMENT METHOD (From Specification) (A.5 Section 20 GROUND IMPROVEMENT)

Material Test Report (MTR) – A written and signed document that is approved by a qualified party
and contains data and information that attests to the actual properties of an item and the actual
results of all required tests. So, why is an important? MTRs allow recipients to properly store material
to ensure quality is maintained most appropriately.

Geotextile – shall be made of new synthetic polymeric fabric that are stable or stabilized against ultra
violet (UV) radiation such that three months exposure to sunlight shall not reduce its specified
strength to less than 70%

Method of jointing (Geotextile) – There are two methods to joint the geotextile, which are by
overlapping or seaming. Table 23=0.3 provides a guide in determining overlap requirements for
separation/stabilization applications based on sub grade strength. When the sub grade soils upon
which the geotextile is directly placed provides shear strength less than CBR = 0.5, the adjacent
geotextile panels shall be seamed.

Prefabricated Vertical Drain > Soil Investigation Report

The report intended solely as a preliminary guide and neither the completeness nor the accuracy of
the information provided is guaranteed. The contractor shall study the given report and make his
own interpretation of the information provided and to make due to allowance for the effect of site
conditions on his construction operations.

Prefabricated Vertical Drain > Pre-Treatment Soil Investigation

Cone Penetration Test (CPT) may be carried out if necessary to verify the thickness of sub-soil to be
treated using PVD. The CPT results shall be submitted to the So for design verification purpose prior
to the commencement of work.

Verticality – Equipment for PVD installation shall be plumbed prior to installation of each PVD and
shall not deviate from the vertical more than 1 in 50 during installation of any PVD.
Tolerances

The position of installed PVD shall not vary by more than 150mm from the position indicated in the
Drawing.

PVD installed which deviate more than 150mm for design plan position or are damaged or
improperly installed shall be rejected and abandoned in place and replaced accordingly.

Installation

PVD shall be installed using a continuous push using static weight or vibration. Installation technique
using driving is not permitted.

The completed PVD shall be cut off neatly 150mm above the working grade, or as otherwise
specified in the contract Drawing Q: brapa dlm method statement?

Splicing

Splicing of PVD material shall be done by stapling in a workmanlike manner and so as to ensure
structural and hydraulic continuity of the drain. At the splice, the minimum overlap shall be 150mm
and the lower portion of the jacket shall be externa to the upper portion.
