MATERIALS ACCEPTED BY PROJECT SAMPLING

Transcription

1 REPLACES D..5 04/25/2013 SUJECT PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECT OFFICE MANUAL PART May 9, 201 MATERIALS ACCEPTED Y PROJECT SAMPLING 5-1 This subsection includes all of the materials specified to be accepted by project acceptance sampling. The samples, unless specified otherwise, are to be taken at the point of placement of the material. The testing can be accomplished directly on the project, in the vicinity of the project or at the Laboratory Testing Section (LTS) Laboratory in Harrisburg. The following guidelines are a minimum for sampling frequencies for acceptance testing of construction materials. The guidelines also list recommendations for sample sizes that should be sent into LTS. These sample sizes may differ from what is listed in the PTM's because the PTM's list the minimum sizes needed to complete that particular PTM. Department Representatives are required to monitor and maintain custody of any material samples collected on behalf of the Department from point of sampling through delivery. Frequencies may need to be increased as required by the level of construction. NOTE: Sampling Location is at the point of placement unless otherwise noted.
