Technical Specification 1700– Material Details

(A) The contractor shall provide to the engineer, a certificate stating the name of the manufacture,
productname, and stylenumber, chemical composition of the filaments or yarns, and other
pertinent information to describe the geo-textile fully.

(B) Contractor shall obtain the supplies of geotextiles from a manufacturer who shall be responsible
for establishing andmaintaining a quality control program to assure compliance with the
requirements of the specifications. Documentation describing the quality control program shall be
made available upon request from such manufactures.

(C) Such manufacture’s shall certificate shall state that the furnished geo-textile meets MARV
requirements of the specification as evaluated under the manufacturer’s quality control program.
A person having legal authority to bind the manufacturer, shall attest to the certificate.

(D) Either misrepresentation of materials or mislabeling shall be a reason to reject those geotextile
products of the manufacturer.

1710.4 Sampling, Testingand Acceptance

(a) Geotextile materials shall be subject to sampling and testing to verify conformance with these
Specifications. Sampling shall be in accordance with the most current ASTM standards D 4354,
using the section titled, “procedure for sampling for purchaser’s specification conformance
testing”. In the absence of purchaser’s testing, verification may be based on manufacturer’s
certifications as a result of testing by the manufacturer of quality assurance samples obtained using
the procedure for sampling for manufacturer’s quality assurance (MQA) testing. A lot size shall
be considered to be the shipment quantity of the given product, or a truckload of the given product,
whichever is smaller.

(b) For the indicated application, testing shall be performed in accordance with the methods
referenced in these specifications. The number of specimens to test per sample is specified by each
test method. Geotextile product acceptance shall be based on ASTM D [Link] acceptance
is determined by comparing the average test results of all specimens within a given sample to the
specimen MARV. Reference shall be made to ASTM D 4759 for more details regarding geotextile
procedures for acceptance.

1710.5 Shipment and Storage

(a) Labeling, shipment and storage of geotextile shall follow ASTM D [Link] label shall clearly
show the manufacture or supplier name, style name and roll number. Each shipping document shall
include a notation certifying that the materialis in accordance with the certificate of the
manufacturer.

(b) Each roll of geotextiles shall be wrapped with a material that will protect the geotextile, including
the ends of the roll, from damage due to shipment, water sunlight and contaminants. The protective
wrapping shall be maintained during periods of shipment and storage subsequently.

(c) During periods of storage, the geotextile rolls shall be elevated off the ground and adequately
covered to protect them from the following: site construction damage,precipitation,extended
ultraviolet radiation including sunlight, chemicals that are strong acids or strong bases,flames
including welding sparks, temperatures in excess of 71 0C (1600F) and any other environmental
condition that may damage the geotextile physical property values.
