SECTION 01050 FIELD ENGINEERING

PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 SECTION INCLUDES A. Administrative and procedural requirements for Field Engineering services, including, but not limited to land survey work and Civil, Architectural, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Services.

1.2

QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Contractor shall engage a qualified land surveyor(s) to perform the required land surveying services. Contractor shall carry out a soil investigation. If any findings conflict with those assumed by the Designer, then foundations shall be adjusted accordingly. Contractor shall engage a professional Engineer(s) to perform the required engineering services. The engaged surveying and/or engineering team shall be approved by the Engineer.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (Not Used)

PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.1 EXAMINATION A. Verify accuracy of layout information shown on the Drawings, in relation to the property survey and existing benchmarks before proceeding to layout the Work. Locate and protect existing benchmarks and control points. Preserve permanent reference points during construction. 1. Do not change or relocate benchmarks or control points without prior written approval from the Engineer. Promptly report lost or destroyed reference points or requirements to relocate reference points because of necessary changes in grade, location or conflicting construction. Promptly replace lost or damaged project control points with prior approval of the Engineer. Replacement of project control points shall be based on original survey control points.

3.

Establish and maintain the required number of permanent benchmarks on the job site as directed by the Engineer. Benchmarks shall be located from and referenced to data established from survey control points. Record benchmark location, with horizontal and vertical data, on Project Record Documents.

B.

Existing utilities and equipment: 1. The existence and location of underground and other utilities and construction indicated in the Construction Documents as existing are not guaranteed. Before beginning site work, investigate and verify the existence and location of underground utilities and other construction and record this information on the relevant plan. Prior to construction, verify the location and invert elevation at points of connection to sanitary sewer, storm drainage and water service piping.

2.

Verify the location of electrical power and communication utilities for interface.
3.2 PERFORMANCE A. General: 1. Working from lines and levels established by the property survey, establish benchmarks and reference markers to set lines and levels at each story of construction and elsewhere as needed to properly locate each element of the Project. Calculate and measure required dimensions within indicated or recognized tolerances. Drawings shall not be scaled to determine dimensions.

B.

Surveyor's Log: 1. Maintain a Surveyor's Log of control and other survey work. Surveyor's Log shall be made available for the Engineer reference. Record deviations from required lines and levels, and advice the Engineer when deviations that exceed indicated or recognized tolerances are detected. Contractor shall record on Project Record Drawings deviations that are accepted and not corrected.

2.

C.

Site Works: 1. Locate and lay out works, fill and topsoil placement, slopes and invert elevations by instrumentation and similar appropriate means. Prior to Substantial Completion, prepare a final property survey showing significant features (real property) for the Project. Include on the survey a certification, signed by the Surveyor, to the effect that principal metes, bounds, lines and levels of Project are accurately positioned as shown on survey. END OF SECTION
