i
j - 3.2 FLOWABLE FILL
I! ij d Prepare and submit a design for flowab le fill for general backfill applicat ions. The use of
i
I fly ash as a major constituent is acceptable. In general , the ingredients used for

I1 flowable fill should confo rm to the same requirements as specified for concrete .
Exceptions will be granted, however, if a suitable mixture can be developed using non-
standard materia1s such as crushed , recycled concrete, poorly graded fine aggregate,

IR etc. Proportion the mixture such that it will easily flow into excavated areas with minimal
consolidation and bleed. Assure that the mixture will attain no less than 350 KPa and
no grea ter than 550 KPa compressive strength at 28 days . Use of admixtures for
limiting strength gain is acceptab le. Obtain Owner approval of the flowab le fill mixture
design prior to use.

3.3 MANUFACTURE
3.3.1 Provide a primary batching facility with a stationary mixer having a manufacturer's
rated product ion capacity of 100 cubic meters per hour (minimum) and a secondary
, ,, fac ility (either central mix or dry-batch type ) with a rated production capacity of 50 cubic
meters per hour. Provide documentation that any plant that will be erected at the
Owner's construction site is less than five years old or has been completely refurbished ,

mixers (stationary and transit) in accordance with ASTM C 94/C 94M prior to production
--: f and every six months thereafter and submit the results to the Owner. For stationary
mixe r(s) , establish the min imum mixing duration necessary for producing unifo rm
concrete, Assure that this minimum duration is met for all concrete subsequently
1; produced , Mainta in the mixe r such that the results of the un iform ity test and the
minimum mixing durat iort establi shed remain valid.

3.3.5 Conform to ASTM C 94/C 94M for the batching plant, mixers , and agitators. Meet
NRMCA check list certification requ irements for batching, mixing, and transporting
facil ities and equipment. Obta in NRMCA Ch eck List Certification for the batchi ng

the event of a second failure, the concrete is consid ered to have failed the requirements
of this Specification and is subject to rejection.

3.4.3 The Owner will increase or decrease his testing frequenci es as he sees lit to do
so. Neither an increased nor a decreased testing frequency affects the basis for
rejection described in this Specification.

3.4.4 All ingredients will be subject to inspection by the Owner. Cooperate with the
Owner or his representative by pro viding or assuring reasonable access for making
" necessary checks of production facilities and for obtaining samples from batch plant
