Acceptance A lot shall be deemed to achieve conformance, if all samples tested comply with the Technical Specification. If a lot fails to achieve conformance, the lot may be re-sampled in accordance with Clause D.2 to verify whether the lot conforms or not. If it still does not conform to the technical specifications, the lot should be rejected The geogrid shall not be placed prior to the acceptance as per para D (i) above. Audit testing During audit testing, samples may be selected from the site and accordingly arrangement for audit testing has to be done, regardless of the quantity of geogrid supplied. ication of Geocomposite Drain to be used behind Bridge Abutment/ 9 Wall for Railway Bridge- For height up to 10 m. (Specification No. RS-0006 -March 2019) A) Properties of Geocomposite Drain (Vertical) The Geocomposite Drain (or Drainage Composite) consisting of a geonet core sand hed between non-woven geotextile filters on both sides, to be used behind Bridge Abutment/Retaining Wall of Height up to 10m, shall have following properties, when tested as per the latest edition of the test method indicated therein: si.

Note: 1, The adherence to above listed specification should be checked by testing the samples at IIT, NIT, Government labs or any other NABL accredited lab. |. Manufacturing of Geosynthetics shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's QAP for quality control. The product being supplied by the manufacturer should have been successfully used for similar application (i.e. for drainage behind bridge abutment/retaining wall) at minimum 3 locations, with minimum 3 years’ experience at one of the locations, with supporting documents as an evidence for satisfactory performance. To ensure proper quality assurance and reproducibility of the product, following stipulations are as under: a) The manufacturer of Geocomposite drain should have ISO: 9001/CE Certification for the product being supplied. The manufacturer of Geo-synthetics should have a well- documented Quality Assurance Procedure (QAP)/Factory Production Control (FPC) Manual, covering every specific product produced on specific production site, which shall be referred/stipulated in the ISO: 9001/CE Certification. The QAP/FPC Manual shall consist of a permanent internal production control system to ensure that product being manufactured conforms to the requisite properties and it addresses following items: i) Produce design requirement and criteria. il) Acceptance criteria of raw/incoming material and procedures to ensure that these are met. iii) Relevant features of the plant and production process; giving frequency of inspections, checks & tests, together with values/criteria required on equipment and action(s) to be taken when control values or criteria are not obtained. iv) Tests on finished products - Size of the samples and frequency of sampling with results obtained. v) Details of alternative tests and procedures, if any, and their correlation with reference tests. vi) Calibration of equipment having influence on test results. vii) Records to be maintained for various inspections, checks and tests carried out during factory production. vill) Assessment of results of various inspections, checks and tests carried out during factory production; where possible and applicable. ix) System of traceability and control of designs, incoming materials and use of materials, x) Corrective action for non-conforming materials and finished products. xi) Training, job description and responsibility of the personnel involved in the manufacturing process. b) Any subsequent changes in raw materials, manufacturing procedures or the control scheme that affects the properties of a product shall be recorded/revised in the QAP/FPC Manual and certified by the ISO: 9001/CE Certification. 122 .©) Surveillance of QAP/FPC Manual shall be undertaken at least once per year. The surveillance shall include a review of the test plan(s) and production processes for each product to determine if any changes have been made since the last assessment or surveillance. The significance of changes shall be assessed. d) Records of all in-house test results, as per QAP/FPC Manual, shall be shown to the purchaser; whenever requested by the purchaser. ) Geo-composite Drain shall be manufactured by thermal bonding of filter and core. Melt temperature of the bonding materials must be compatible so that the properties of each material are retained. Adhesion of filter & core using glue/adhesive tape shall not be permitted particularly for this application, f) In-plane water flow as per item I (2) of Specification is 1.5 lit/m.sec which is to be tested in lab. For calculating the value of short term flow creep factor is taken as 1.3. Manufactures have to give the test certificate indicating the value of creep factor for their product tested accordingly to ASTM 7931-2018. The value of creep factor of the product should be less than or equal to 1.3 for 100 years design life under 100 kPa pressure. In case the creep factor of a product is greater than 1.3 then in-plane water flow to be tested in lab i.e., 1.5 lit/m.sec as mentioned in specification at 1(2) should be increased proportionally. 9) Geocomposite drain consisting of cuspated core shall not be used B) Packing, Handling and Installation of Geo-composite Drains (Vertical) i) The Geocomposite drain shall be provided in wraps with a protective covering, A tag or other method of identification shall be attached to each wrapped package Indicating the following a) Manufacturer or Supplier Name b) Product Name and Style ¢) Roll Identification Number d) Lot or Batch Number li) Rolls of Geocomposite drain should not be dragged on the ground and they must be lifted off the ground before moving them. ili) Geocomposite drain should be adequately protected from Ultraviolet (UV) exposure during storage at site, The protective wrapping, in which the Geo-composite drain come wrapped from factory, should be kept on till their installation. After unwrapping, the Geo-composite drain should be installed and covered within a maximum of 14 days. Iv) If stored outside, they should be elevated from the ground surface and adequately covered to protect them from site construction damage, precipitation, UV radiation, chemicals that are strong acids/bases, flames including welding sparks, temperatures in excess of 710C etc. v) When Geo-composite drains are assembled on site, the assembly area shall be clean and dry. vi) Geocomposite drains shall be capable of being connected longitudinally or laterally into pipe systems or chambers for outflow purpose. Joint parallel to the direction of flow and any exposed edge shalll be protected from the ingress of soil by wrapping with a minimum overlap of 150mm or other measures. 123ie overlap (150mm min GEOTEXTILE: ERE ‘cEONET Overlap of Geocomposite drains (vil) Care must be taken to ensure that large stones are not allowed in the soil & large projections abutment surface to damage the surface of the geotextile filter. (vili)In case of use behind Bridge Abutment or Retaining Wall, slotted pipe can be provided for horizontal drainage at bottom, by placing Geonet inside slot and both layers of geotextile to be wrapped around the slotted pipe & pasted at the overlap with suitable tape. Or perforated pipe can be provided for horizontal drainage at bottom, by placing Geonet is terminated at the top of perforated pipe and both layers of geotextile to be wrapped around the perforated pipe & pasted at the overlap with suitable tape (ie) A diagram showing GeoComposite Drain behind bridge abutment is shown below. C) Measurement for Payment of Geo-composite Drain (Vertical) The Geocomposite drain shall be measured in square metres, with no allowance for overlapping at transverse & longitudinal joints. The contract unit rate for the accepted quantities of Geo-composite drain shall be in full compensation for furnishing, preparing, hauling and placing Geo-composite drain including all labour, freight, tools, equipment and incidentals to complete the work as per specifications. 124Cttsd & G&E outis é FUND UEUOUOUH SY os La nast FORMATION BACKFILL MATERIAL, (GW.GP.SW) CEOCOMPOSITE "BRAIN (VERTICAL) ‘CORE poy F100 (ON—WOvEN| SLOTTED, é mom ‘ GEOTEXTILE ~-!_ Boi SLOPE AS CONVENIENT FRoW” dONSTRUCTION PoINT GFView Bur NOT STEGHER Than ts SL.
