8.0 Methodology / Procedure

8.1 Mobilization
Mobilization of equipment already placed in work site.

8.2 Installation
8.2.1 The geotextile shall be placed in above backfilled material with trimmed slope area
on a smooth graded surface. The geotextile shall be placed in such a manner that
placement of the overlying materials will not excessively stretch so as to tear the
geotextile. Anchoring of the terminal ends of the geotextile shall be accomplished
through the use of sand bags crest and toe of slope.
8.2.2 450 mm (18 in) anchoring pins placed on 600 to 1800 mm (24 to 45 in) centers,
depending on the slope of the covered area, may be used to expedite construction.
8.2.3 The geotextile shall be placed with the machine direction parallel to the direction of
water flow which is normally parallel to the slope for erosion control runoff and wave
action. Overlapping shall join adjacent geotextile sheets. Overlapped seams of roll ends
shall be a minimum of 1000 mm (3 ft) except where placed under water. In such
instances the overlap shall be a minimum of 1 m (3 ft). Overlaps of adjacent rolls shall
be a minimum of 1000 mm (3 ft) in all instances.
8.2.4 When overlapping, successive sheets of the geotextile shall be overlapped
upstream over downstream, and/or upslope over downslope. In cases where wave
action or multidirectional flow is anticipated, all seams perpendicular to the direction of
flow shall be sewn.
8.2.5 Care shall be taken during installation so as to avoid damage occurring to the
geotextile as a result of the installation process. Should the geotextile be damaged
during installation, a geotextile patch shall be placed over the damaged area extending
1 m (3 ft) beyond the perimeter of the damage.
8.2.6 The Core material placement shall begin over the geotextile at the toe and proceed
up the slope. Placement shall take place so as to avoid stretching and subsequent
tearing of the geotextile.
8.2.7 Slope protection and smaller sizes of stone filling shall not be dropped from a
height exceeding 1 m (3 ft), or a demonstration provided showing that the placement
procedures will not damage the geotextile. In underwater applications, the geotextile
and backfill material shall be placed the same day. All void spaces in the Core material
shall be backfilled with small stone to ensure full coverage.
8.2.8 Field monitoring shall be performed to verify that the Core Material placement does
not damage the geotextile.
8.2.10 Any geotextile damaged during backfill placement shall be replaced as directed
by the Engineer, at the Contractor’s expense.
8.2.11 Snorkel allowed in depth of Maximum 2.5m .

9.0 Health, Safety and Environment

9.1 The works shall be carried out in compliance with the applicable HSE legal and
contractual requirements.
9.2The significant HSE hazards and risks related to the works covered by this document
have been identified, and documented in “HSE Risk Assessment” attached in
Attachment A.
9.3 The identified hazards and associated risks and mitigation controls shall be
communicated to the workforce through registered Pre-task briefings at the
beginning of each shift.
