Duct banks and bases shall each be cast monolithic, using concrete as
covered by Section 3 of these specifications. All excavating and back-
filling work associated with new duct banks is included under this
specification. All components associated with new duct banks shall be
included under this specification.
Trenches:
All trenches shall be carefully dug to lines as shown on the plans or as
approved by the Company and to the exact depth required for the proper
grade of the ducts with encasement. Wherever possible, the trenches shall
be excavated to permit the duct bank to rest on a poured concrete base or
undisturbed earth or rock. Where it is necessary to trench through back-
fill, the earth shall be well tamped before the duct back base is installed.
All trenches shall be wide enough to provide ample room for workmen
engaged in handling and installing ducts. Where it is necessary to
reduce the earth load on trench banks to prevent sliding or caving,
such trench banks may be cut back on slopes which shall not extend
lower than one foot above the top of the duct bank.
(DENTON, TEXAS - 45T3 )
(SUBSTATION CONSTRUCTION - D-2) 4-S
Subgrade soil for all concrete structures shall be firm and compact.
Should the subsoil in any area be mucky or should it work into mtad under
the feet of the workmen, the Contractor shall -einforce it by removing
a sufficient depth of the mucky material and replacing it by one or more
thin layers of crushed stone or gravel, each layer being tightly rolled
or otherwise embedded in the soil. The subgrade shall then be brought
to proper level by means of a thin layer of sand tamped or rolled into
the reinforced subsoil.
Installation:
Each duct bank shall be laid to exact grade in the trench and the ends
,shall enter manholes or foundations as shown on the plane. End bells shall
be used on individual ducts at the ends of duct banks which enter a manhole
or concrete trench. The ends of individual sections shall be cleaned,
swabbed with joint sealing compound, and the duct then forced tightly into
the tapered coupling or fitting to make a watertight connection. The indi-
vidual ducts shall be laid in place, held by standard intermediate and
base spacers placed at 5 foot intervals and bound with hemp or sisal
twine. The joints in each of the upper layers shall be stepped back
approximately 2 feet from the joints in the layer immediately below. The
concrete envelope shall be placed after ir.Aividual ducts are securely
tied in place and adequately anchored to completely counteract the buoyancy
of the plastic concrete and thus prevent floating. Care shall be take" in
placing concrete to prevent empty ducts from being damaged or diuplaced
either in grade or alignment. The trench shall be backfilled and compacted.
Defective duct sections shall not be installed. Particular care shall be
taken to keep water, concrete or other substances from the inside of
individual ducts during construction. All reinforcing materials and other
magnetic materials installed in a duct bank shall be parallel to the lengths
of individual ducts except for ties enclosing all ducts of the duct bank,
Cleaning:
After the dust bank has been completed, a mandrel not less than 12 inches
long and with a diameter 1/4 inch less than the inside diameter of the in-
dividual ducts shall be pulled thrcugh to duct, after which a brush with
stiff bristles shall be pulled through to remove particles of earth, sand,
and gravel that have been left in the ducts. A 10 AWG bare copper wire
shall be installed in each duct run and fastened at both ends.
Sealing:
The ends of all individual ducts shall be plugged,
