Geotextile panels shall not be deployed over frozen ground, unless approved by <br />CERTIFYING ENGINEER. <br />Seaming Procedures <br />1. On slopes steeper than ten (10) percent, and in all cases in which soil or granular materials <br />are to be placed over the geotextile, all seams shall be continuously sewn. In all other <br />applications, sewing is the preferred seaming method. <br />2. Seams to be sewn shall be overlapped a minimum of six (6) inches and shall be sewn with a <br />locking stitch. Seams to be thermally bonded shall be overlapped a minimum of twelve (12) <br />inches. <br />3. The thread used in sewing shall be of polymeric material having chemical resistance, and if <br />the geotextile is to be exposed for more than thirty (30) days, ultraviolet resistance equal to <br />or exceeding that of the geotextile. <br />4. CONTRACTOR shall take measures to prevent soil, granular materials, or foreign <br />materials from entering or becoming trapped beneath the geotextile both during and <br />following installation. <br />Repair holes or tears in geotextile as follows: <br />Defects and Repairs <br />1. Remove any soil or other material that may have penetrated the torn geotextile. <br />2. Should any tear exceed 10 percent of the width of the roll, that section of the roll shall be <br />removed from the slope and replaced. <br />3. On slopes steeper than 10:1 (horizontal:vertical), sew into place, in accordance with Article <br />3.01(B) of this Section, a patch made from same geotextile. Use continuous sewing. <br />4. On slopes shallower than 10:1 (horizontal:vertical), sew geotextile patch into place using <br />continuous (preferred) or spot seam in place a patch made from same geotextile, with a <br />minimum 24-inch overlap in all directions. <br />*** END OF SECTION *** <br />• <br />Section 02777 <br />Geotextile <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />September 3, 2008 <br />Revision 1 <br />SAProjects\1125 CM Phase 5 VLF\I .
