SECTION 709

GEOTEXTILE MATERIALS

709 DESCRIPTION

This section relates to field sampling of geotextile material.

709.1 DEFINITIONS

1. Lot: The NDDOT considers a lot to be a shipment of material delivered to the

location of work. If there is documentation showing that the shipment came
from different production plants or was manufactured using different materials
or procedures, the different parts of the shipment will be considered separate
lots.

2. Samples: For geotextile, the samples are taken from the shipping units (i.e.,
rolls of fabric) making up a lot. The property variables of the samples must
represent the entire lot. These samples will be submitted for acceptance
testing.

3. Certificate of Compliance: As outlined and detailed in Section 106.01 of

NDDOT Standard Specifications, it states that the material fully comply with
the Contract requirements.

709.2 DOCUMENTATION

The Engineer or designated field personnel shall obtain a valid Certificate of

Compliance from the contractor and verify that it meets the requirements in
Section 858 of NDDOT Standard Specifications. If the material properties stated
on the Certificate do not meet the specifications, the material is not acceptable.
If it is verified that the properties stated on the Certificate comply with Section
858, the Engineer shall contact Materials and Research for inquires on historical
test information. If any of the criteria listed below are met, then the Engineer may
elect to proceed with sampling.

• If the material is unknown to the NDDOT, or has a history of test failures,

samples will be required.
• If a significant quantity of geotextile material is being used, or the project has
been selected for random testing, samples may be required.
• If the Engineer is concerned about the quality of the geotextile, or that the
Certificate does not represent the material on site, sampling and testing may
be ordered at the direction of the Engineer.

709 1
Revised 6/26/2014 709

709.3 GENERAL PROCEDURES

A. Sampling Overview

1. Sampling Frequency: To determine the number of samples to obtain for

acceptance testing, consider the total units (i.e., rolls) of the lot or lots
delivered to the work location. All geotextiles shall be sampled randomly.
Refer to the following table (Table A) for lot sampling frequency.

Table A

Numbers of Rolls in the Lot Number of Samples Selected

1 to 2 1
3 to 8 2
9 to 27 3
28 to 64 4
65 to 125 5
126 to 216 6
217 to 343 7
344 to 512 8
513 to 729 9
730 to 1000 10
1000 or more 11

2. Sample Size: When cutting a sample from a geotextile roll, do not sample
the first 3 feet or the last 3 feet of the roll. Obtain a sample extending the
width of the roll and approximately 6 feet in length.

B. Sewn Geotextiles

• Samples shall be taken of geotextiles which have been joined by a sewn-

seam. Tests will be completed to verify that the requirements stated in
Section 858 of NDDOT Standard Specifications are met.

• Sample size shall be a minimum 6 feet in length and 3 feet on each side of
the sewn-seam.

• Sampling frequency: Take a minimum of one sample per project. Further

sampling shall be at the discretion of the Project Engineer.

C. Precut Geotextiles

• Individual rolls may be cut to pre-selected widths prior to delivery to the

project. Each of these cut portions must be labeled in a manner that
allows identification of its original position within the previous full-width roll.

709 2
Revised 6/26/2014 709

The contractor shall provide lists identifying the original full-width rolls and
the portions cut from those rolls.

• The contractor is responsible for assuring all portions of the original rolls
are readily accessible and identifiable for sampling. Sampling is
conducted by taking the required sample length of each portion as if it
were the original roll. The composition of these cut portions are
considered one sample.

• The total number of original rolls shall be used to determine how many
samples are needed and is determined from Table A.

D. Sample Identification

Field samples submitted to Materials and Research for testing shall include
the following:

1. A valid Certificate of Compliance conforming to Section 106.01 of NDDOT

Standard Specifications.

2. Samples shall have the following information physically attached to each

sample.

a) Project number
b) Sampled by
c) Date sampled
d) Manufacturer’s name
e) Product name or style
f) Assign a unique number to identify the sample (whether provided or
created).

Compute the sieve analysis results on SFN 9987, “Aggregate Sample
Worksheet.”

The Engineer, or Representative, must conduct a minimum of one moisture and

density test for each layer of compacted aggregate. A layer of compacted
aggregate is defined by a thickness of 12 inches and a maximum length of 200
lineal feet. The width shall be defined by the trench width except each side of the
pipe shall be considered as separate layers.

The sketch on page 3 of this section illustrates the testing and compaction
