Xl. PRECAST & CONCRETE FILLED JUTE BAG HEADWALL
Unless otherwise shown or noted, the Contractor is to provide new precast concrete block headwalls or concrete filled jute bag headwalls for the access bridges being replaced, repaired, or constructed under this project.
The Contractor shall install vertical interlocking precast concrete blocks with filter cloth backing for walls on both ends of the bridge requiring same. The blocks shall be minimum 600X600X1200mm in size as available from Underground Specialties - Wolseley, in Windsor, Ontario, or equal, and installed as set out in Appendix "REI-C". Vertical joints shall be staggered by use of half blocks where needed and wingwall deflections when required shall employ 45-degree angled blocks. Voids between the blocks and the pipe shall be grouted with 30mPa concrete grout having 6% ±1% air entrainment and extend for the full thickness of the wall, and have a smooth uniform finish on the face that blends with the precast blocks. The installation of the endwalls, as well as the backfilling of the pipe where applicable, shall be provided in compliance with Items 1), 3), and 4) of the "Standard Specifications for Access Bridge Construction" attached within Appendix "REI-C" and in total compliance and in all respects with the General Conditions included in said Appendix. The Contractor shall submit shop drawings for approval of the wall installation that includes details for a minimum 300mm thick concrete footing that extends from the pipe invert downward. The footing shall extend into the drain banks each side for the required embedment of the blocks and be constructed to ensure that the completed wall will be completely vertical or tipped slightly back towards the driveway. Where the block walls extend more than 1.8 metres in height, the supplier shall provide the Contractor with uni-axial geogrid (SG350 or equivalent) reinforcement for installation to tie the wall back into the granular backfill. The Contractor, in all cases, shall comply with these specifications and upon completion of the stacked precast concrete block end protection installation shall restore the adjacent areas to their original conditions. The Contractor shall supply quarried limestone rock on filter cloth protection adjacent to the headwalls at each corner of the bridge as seen on the plans in Appendix “REI-E”. All rock protection shall be 1.0 metres wide and 305mm (12”) thick, installed on non-woven filter cloth, and shall be installed in accordance with Item 2) of the "Standard Specifications for Access Bridge Construction". The synthetic filter mat to be used shall be non-woven geotextile GMN160 conforming to O.P.S.S. 1860 Class I, as available from Armtec Construction Products through Underground Specialties - Wolseley in Windsor, Ontario, or equal. The quarried limestone to be used shall be graded in size from a minimum of 100mm to a maximum of 250mm, and is available from Walker Industries Amherst Quarries, in Amherstburg, Ontario, or equal.
The concrete filled jute bags are to be provided and laid out as is shown and detailed in the accompanying drawings and as is noted in the Standard Specifications in Appendix “REI-C”. In all cases, the concrete filled jute bag headwalls shall be topped with a minimum 100mm (4”) thick continuous concrete cap for the entire length of the headwalls. The headwalls shall be installed on an inward batter to be not less than 1 horizontal to 5 vertical, and under no circumstances shall this batter, which is measured from the top of the headwall to the projection of the end of the pipe, be less than 305mm (12”).
