2.6 GEOTEXTILEThe geotextile layer shall be as specified in Section 31 05 19 GEOTEXTILE and as shown on the drawings.
2.7 GRANULAR DRAINAGE LAYERThe granular drainage layer shall consist of a [300] [_____] mm [12]
[_____] inch layer as specified in Section [32 11 30 DRAINAGE LAYER]
[_____] and as shown on the drawings.
2.8 SELECT FILL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Top soil is usually not placed on the test
fill. However, the weight of the top soil may be
simulated by the placement of additional select fill.
**************************************************************************The select fill shall consist of a [600] [_____] mm [24] [_____] inch layer of select fill material as specified in Section 02 66 00 SELECT FILL AND TOPSOIL FOR LANDFILL COVER and as shown on the drawings.2.9 EQUIPMENTThe test fill shall be constructed to demonstrate that the proposed
equipment and procedures are acceptable for construction of the full scale landfill [liner] [cover]. Equipment used shall be as specified in the sections referenced. Contact the geosynthetics manufacturers for recommendations on geosynthetics and soil placement equipment.
PART 3 EXECUTION
3.1 GENERAL3.1.1 Location**************************************************************************
NOTE: The location of the test fill along with plan
and section views should be included on the drawings.
**************************************************************************Construct the test fill at the location shown on the drawings.
[Photographs] [and] [videotape] shall be made during construction of each layer of the test fill to document construction techniques.
3.1.2 Size**************************************************************************
NOTE: The test fill should be a minimum of 3 to 4
times wider than the compaction equipment proposed.
