Channel Cross Sample Clauses

Channel Cross. Section Sketch —Engineer shall provide a channel cross-section sketch for span-type bridges. Culverts do not require a channel sketch or an update to any such sketch that may already be in the folder. Calculations of culvert sediment material quantities are not required. If there is an existing channel cross-section sketch plotted to scale in the bridge folder, Engineer shall bring that sketch forward into the current report, plot the new data on it in different color ink, and reference it with the engineer’s team leader’s initials and date. If the channel profile has not changed significantly from the previous inspection, the engineer’s team leader must initial and date a note stating that no significant change has occurred. For all span- bridges that have plans available, Engineer shall plot the channel cross-section on a copy of the bridge layout sheets from the plans. Engineer shall insert two copies of the layout into the folder: one copy must be plotted on as a “work copy” and one copy must remain clean as a “master copy.” If plans are not available, Engineer shall draw a sketch. It is acceptable for the horizontal and vertical scales to differ.
