DIVISION 1 - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS <br /> SECTION 01400-QUALITY CONTROL <br /> PART 1-GENERAL <br /> 1.01 TESTING <br /> Quality control testing shall be performed at the testing frequency specified by the drawings and project <br /> specifications. The Mining Superintendent shall be responsible for ordering the sampling and testing,and <br /> for coordinating the testing efforts with the construction. The Mine Superintendent shall inform the Project <br /> Engineer of ongoing work. The Project Engineer will notify the Testing Laboratory and Design Engineer <br /> of necessary quality assurance work. <br /> A. Location Identification Requirements <br /> The location(horizontal and vertical position)of all earthfill moisture/density tests shall be <br /> recorded by the soils testing technician. The test location shall be identified by means of a hand <br /> held GPS unit. The location shall be located to a degree of accuracy of 20' horizontally. The GPS <br /> unit shall be calibrated to a local benchmark each day prior to testing and more frequently if <br /> warranted by changes in weather to correct any weather induced drift in the unit. Vertical position <br /> shall be recorded by referencing local reference staking established adjacent to the work area. <br /> The soils testing firm will provide an as-built map depicting the test points with the test reference <br /> number. The test reference number shall match the numbering system used by the soils testing <br /> firm in their tabular listing of test results. This as-built map shall be updated annually and 3 <br /> copies submitted to the Mining Superintendent,who will forward 1 copy to the Project Engineer <br /> and 1 copy to the Design Engineer(Deere&Ault Consultants,Inc.). <br /> 1.02 OTHER TESTING <br /> If required by the Engineer,the following testing shall be performed: <br /> A. Material Substitution <br /> Any tests of basic material or fabrication equipment offered as a substitute for specified item on <br /> which a test may be required in order to prove its compliance with the specifications. <br /> B. Non-Specialized Fill Material <br /> Materials in the embankment fill which are not specified by the drawings or technical <br /> specifications shall be approved for use by the Engineer prior to placement. Such material may <br /> include granular drainage material to control groundwater,riprap or riprap bedding material,or <br /> random fill adjacent to the limits of the embankment fill materials. Prior to approving such <br /> material for use,the Engineer may require specific testing be performed and the test results <br /> provided for review. Quality control testing of the placed materials may also be required. <br /> 1.03 TEST REPORTS <br /> Reports of all tests made by testing laboratories shall be delivered in triplicate by the testing laboratory to <br /> the Mining Superintendent who will distribute them as follows: <br /> 1 copy-Mining Superintendent <br /> 1 copy-Project Engineer <br /> 1 copy-Design Engineer <br /> Other copies -As directed <br /> 6/10 Section 01400-Page 1 of 2 <br />
