Referenced Standard Construction Specifications a) General Instructions b) c) MATERIALS Existing Services, Utilities and Structures Site Requirements 2.6.2 Portland cement shall be Type GU General Use Hydraulic conforming to the requirements of CSA A3001. Cement shall be kept in weather tight storage that will protect it from moisture and contamination, and in such a manner as to permit inspection, sampling and identification, where required. a) Check tests of the cement may be undertaken by a Testing Laboratory designated by the R.M. of St. Andrews, Contract Administrator. Any cement which fails to comply with the requirements of CSA A3001 will be rejected, notwithstanding any 7 certificate of acceptance that may have previously been given. Cement that has been rejected must be removed immediately by the Concrete Supplier. 2.6.3 Water used for mixing shall be clean and free of oil, salt, acid, alkali, sugar, vegetable matter or other substances injurious to the finished product. a) MIX DESIGN Water sources other than the local municipal domestic water supply must be approved by the Contract Administrator. 2.6.4 The Contractor shall provide the Contract Administrator with a mix design statement certifying the constituent materials and mix proportions that will be used in the soil cement stabilization. The Contractor shall also supply reasonable evidence to the Contract Administrator that the mix proportions selected will produce an acceptable stabilized gravel surface. The mix design shall state: a) b) c) d) e) f) The natural moisture content and classification of the soil sampled. The soil shall be classified using ASTM D2487 standard; Atterberg Limits at 0%, 4%, 6% and 8% cement by weight of soil; The optimum moisture content and maximum dry density of soil at 4%, 6% and 8% cement by weight of soil; Portland cement shall account for 100% of total cementitious content; and Determine the unconfined compressive strength at 3, 7 and 28 days for each type/class of soil at cement contents of 4%, 6% and 8% of cement by weight of soil: Minimum compressive strength of 2.0 MPa @ 5 days. 2.6.5 The Contractor shall provide the Contract Administrator with the results of the mix design as per critical stage date. For each project and alternate location, a mix design must be provided. DAYLIGHTING DUTIES 2.6.6 The R.M. shall be responsible to submit and attain underground clearances for utilities through Click Before You Dig Manitoba for safe excavation. 2.6.7 All project and alternate locations that have utilities present shall require daylighting using approved methods issued by utility owners to determine the exact locations and depths. CONSTRUCTION METHOD 2.6.8 The Contractor shall rotomill the top 300mm of surface such that pulverized soil passes 100 percent on a 25mm sieve and 60 percent on a 5mm sieve. 2.6.9 The Contactor shall acquire and blend Duraflex and Portland cement using two bulk tanks that feed to a blend scale tank that incorporates an aeration blending process. The mixing plant shall be approved by the Contract Administrator. a) Blending of Duraflex and Portland cement shall be incidental to the bid items. 8 2.6.10 The Contractor shall apply blended cement uniformly on the pulverized soil such that all the soil receives the minimum percentage of cement by use of a bulk cement drop spreader. a) The bulk cement drop spreader must be able to apply blended cement to within 1% of the targeted loading weight. 2.6.11 The Contractor shall rotomill the applied blended cement to the pulverized soil and make moisture adjustments to meet the soil's optimum moisture content plus additional water content required to ensure hydration of cement. a) Un-pulverized soil lumps in the soil cement mixture immediately behind the mixer that are dry will not be allowed. b) c) d) e) The rotomill shall provide a means of visibly and accurately gauging the water application. The water shall be applied uniformly through a pressure spray bar inside the rotomill head. The rotomill shall in one continuous operation thoroughly moist-mix the soil, cement and water. The rotomill shall spread the soil cement mixture evenly over the width of the machine and leave it in a loose condition ready for immediate compaction. The soil and cement mixture shall not remain undisturbed, after mixing and before compacting, for more than 30 minutes. 2.6.12 The Contractor shall compact the soil cement mixture to no less than 95 percent of the Standard Maximum Density. a) b) c) d) e) f) A sheepsfoot packer, grader and smooth drum roller shall be used to compact the surface and achieve design profiles. When the uncompacted soil cement mixture is wetted by rain so that the average moisture content exceeds the tolerance given at the time of final compaction, the entire section shall be reconstructed in accordance with this specification at the sole expense of the Contractor. The specified optimum moisture content and density shall be determined in the field by the Contractor and reported to the Contract Administrator. Prior to the beginning of compaction, the mixture shall be in a loose condition full depth. The loose material shall then be uniformly compacted to the specified density within 2 hours after the application of the cement. While final grading the road all excess windrow material from private access points shall be removed. At the completion of stabilization process the Contractor shall run a vehicle mounted magnet to pick up any metal objects that have been brought to surface during stabilization process.
