Test Pits. 1. This work will be measured for payment by the actual number of vertical linear feet excavated, measured from the existing ground surface to the bottom of the accepted test pit. Test pit depth shall be measured to the nearest half foot.
Test Pits. This work will be measured for payment by the actual number of vertical linear feet excavated, measured from the existing ground surface to the bottom of the accepted test pit. Test pit depth shall be measured to the nearest half foot. • This work will be paid for at the contract unit price each for "Test Pits" of the specified excavation method, including all tools, material and equipment needed to excavate the test pit, backfill the area and patch the pavement (when present) and all other work incidental thereto. Fractions of a foot shall be paid at the fractional portion of the unit price. • If a test pit is excavated and no water main is found, the test pit will be considered unsuccessful and abandoned and the Contractor will be paid for the test pit at the contract unit price. No additional measurement or payment will be made for the widening of the excavation as described above. • If the Engineer or Inspector directs the Contractor to widening a test pit more than 50% of its original size, the original excavation will be considered 1 test pit with a depth measured for payment and the additional excavation will be considered as a second test pit and have its actual depth measured separately for payment.
Test Pits. The explorations will gather subsurface stratigraphy information and inform geotechnical analyses and project design efforts. - Geotechnical Explorations: ENGEO coordinated with a subsurface drilling contractor to perform 2 sonic explorations (completed late September) and contracted a backhoe operator to perform 6 test pits (schedule to be completed October 2021).
Test Pits a) Test Pits are conducted within the proposed AD 4.1 & AD 4.2 areas, the AWRD and the AWTD.
Test Pits. A. Test pits shall be dug at the locations selected and to the dimensions directed by the Owner, to establish locations of existing pipelines or any other buried item for which the exact location is to be determined.
Test Pits. Test pits are conducted for the verification of existing geotechnical works as well as in areas containing associated infrastructural works (as defined by the basic design within this scope of works). Excavation and supervision of minimum of 20 test pits. The number of test pits may be amended upon ground assessment and/or basic design input. Test pits are excavated to 5.0m. From previous geotechnical investigations, soft to medium hard rock may be encountered within the area therefore plant selection must suit the prevalent ground conditions. All the test pits are profiled by an engineering geologist/ geotechnical engineer according to ‘Guidelines for Soil and Rock Logging in SA, 2nd Impression’ (Brink and Bruin, 2002). All test pits are reinstated using the soil removed from pits following completion of soil profiling and sampling. Reinstated soils are adequately compacted to minimize differential settlements. The Consultant must take reasonable and sufficient steps in order to prevent, as far as is reasonably practicable, any person from being buried or trapped by a fall or dislodgement of material in an excavation; may not require or permit any person to work in an excavation which has not been adequately shored or braced as stipulated in Section 13 of Reference [12]. DYNAMIC PROBE SUPER HEAVY DPSH tests are conducted for the verification of existing geotechnical works as well as in areas containing associated infrastructural works (as defined by the basic design within this scope of works). A minimum of 20 tests are conducted.
Test Pits. A. Test pits for the purpose of locating underground utilities or structures as an aid in establishing the precise location of new work may be excavated by the Contractor. Test pits shall be backfilled as soon as the desired information has been obtained. The backfilled surface shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition for travel until resurfaced as hereinafter specified.
