A. Helical Pile: Manufactured steel foundation with one or more helical bearing
plates that is rotated into the ground to support structures.
B. Helical Anchor: Same as a Helical Pile. Term generally used when axial
tension is the primary service load.
C. Independent Inspection Agency: Individual or firm as specified in Section

01400 and retained by Owner and assigned by the Architect/Engineer to verify
Helical Pile and Helical Anchor quality assurance with the Contract Documents and
to observe and document Helical Pile and Helical Anchor installations and tests.
D. Allowable Bearing Capacity: Ultimate bearing capacity of the bearing stratum

divided by a factor of safety.
E. Lead Section: The first section of a Helical Pile or Helical Anchor to enter the
ground. Lead Sections consist of a central shaft with a tapered end and one or more
helical bearing plates affixed to the shaft.
F. Extension Section: Helical Pile or Helical Anchor sections that follow the Lead
Section into the ground and extend the Helical Lead to the appropriate depth.
Extension Sections consist of a central shaft and may have helical bearing plates
affixed to the shaft.

shaft and drilling new holes to facilitate installation of Brackets to the orientation
shown on the Drawings. Alternatively, installation may continue until the final
elevation and orientation of the pre-drilled bolt holes are in alignment. Do not
reverse the direction of torque and back-out the Helical Pile or Helical Anchor to
obtain the final elevation.

resulting excavation and reinstall the anchor/pile.
5. Remove the Helical Pile or Helical Anchor and relocate 1 foot to either
side of the installation location subject to the review and acceptance of
Architect/Engineer.

with fines less than 3 percent; or 2 parts clean 3/4 inch (19 mm) drainage rock
to 1 part clean sharp sand.
E. Utility Marker: Metallic tape.
PART 9 EXECUTION
9.1 EXAMINATION
A. Examine prepared excavation and conditions for smoothness, compaction,

and level. Do not commence system installation until unsatisfactory conditions are
corrected.
B. Verify height of high water table; do not install if high water table will be above
the bottom of storm water retention chamber.
C. Verify water retention system does not interfere with new or existing
underground structures, utility lines, and piping.
D. Commencement of installation constitutes acceptance of existing conditions

and responsibility for satisfactory performance. If existing conditions are found
unsatisfactory, notify Architect in writing and request resolution.
9.2 PREPARATION
A. Base of Excavation: Compact excavation base to minimum 90 percent

density or as required by Geotechnical Engineer. Use structural fill material to
amend structural capacity of soil. Place structural fill on top of geogrid layer if
needed. Avoid materials, such as sand and/or drainage rock, that can not be
stabilized by compaction. Verify base is smooth soil, level, and free of lumps or
02465-28
debris.
B. Place geogrid over prepared grade, overlapping joints minimum 12 inches

and extending over entire excavation bottom.
C. Lay out geotextile fabric to cover side so it will extend a minimum of 20 inches
under the structure.
D. Identify outline of structure on floor of excavation, using spray paint or chalk

line, to ensure squareness during cell placement.
9.3 INSTALLATION
A. Place water retention cells side by side, grid side down. Place sides of cells
without damaged bumpers along outside of structure to resist backfill forces against
fabric and liner materials.
B. Place a layer of geogrid over top of assembled cells.
C. Place geotextile fabric layer over top and sides to prevent soil entry into
chamber.
1. Use precautions to avoid damage to fabric liner material during
placement.
2. Bring liner material up sides and over top of structure, overlapping or
sealing joints in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
3. Fold excess fabric at corners to lay flat against sides of structure,
securing folds and seams with staples or other approved method.
D. Identify locations of inlet, outlet, inspection ports, and other penetrations of

liner, securing pipe into prefabricated boots with stainless steel pipe clamps. Support
pipe in trenches and during backfill operations to prevent damage to liner or pipe.
E. For chambers greater than 3.94 feet (1200 mm) deep, place piles of backfill
material over closed chamber top surface along edge of chamber to provide vertical
load on perimeter cells; verify compression of columns and resistance to side
pressures from backfill operations before proceeding.
F. Backfilling: Backfill using powered mechanical compactor to provide

settlement free surface over top and sides of structure. Take care on structure sides
to avoid damage to liner while providing required compaction forces to top level of
structure.
1. Backfill along sides of cellular structure in lifts not exceeding 12 inches
(300 mm).
2. Place layer of geogrid over top of structure, extending beyond outside
edge of excavation by minimum 40 inches (1000 mm). Overlap joints
minimum of 12 inches (300 mm).
3. Cover top with minimum 12 inches (300 mm) to maximum 36 inches
(900 mm) depth of backfill; place in 6 inch (150 mm) lifts and compact with
vibrating plates or rollers to minimum of 95 percent, using only low pressure
tire or track vehicles.
G. Place utility marker tape, outlining extent of structure, at not more than 12
inch (300 mm) depth..
02465-29
H. Do not permit construction or other traffic within limits of excavation until work
is complete and final surface materials are in place.
I. Place surfacing materials, including groundcovers or paving materials, over

structure with care to avoid displacement of cover fill and damage to surrounding
areas. Do not use shrubs or trees over or in close proximity with underground water
detention system.
J. Any slopes creating additional overburden above the water storage cells
should be carefully located. The toe of said slope should be 10 ft (3000 mm) away
from the closest edge of the water storage cell chamber. This will prevent any
additional earth pressure on the units.
9.4 CLEANING
A. Perform cleaning during installation of work and upon completion of work.
B. Legally remove excess materials, debris, and equipment from site. Repair
damage to adjacent materials and surfaces.
