	PART 3	EXECUTION
	3.1	EXAMINATION
		A.	Before beginning installation, verify site conditions are as indicated on the drawings. Notify the Architect if site conditions are not acceptable. Do not begin preparation or installation until unacceptable conditions have been corrected.
	3.2	PREPARATION
		A.	Subgrade:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Coordinate paragraphs below with earthwork provided by others. Proper subgrade preparation is required to enable the units to interlock properly and remain stationary after installation. Note that subgrade specified in Section should be compacted to 95 percent proctor density.
			1.	Prepare subgrade as specified in Section 02700. Verify subgrade in accordance with porous paving system manufacturer's instructions.
			2.	Excavate area allowing for unit thickness and the engineered base depth (where required).
			3.	Provide adequate drainage from excavated area if area has potential to collect water, when working with in-place soils that have poor permeability.
			4.	Ensure in-place soil is relatively dry and free from standing water.
			5.	Uniformly grade base.
			6.	Level and clear base of large objects, such as rocks and pieces of wood.
		B.	Base Preparation:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Coordinate paragraphs below with base installation provided by others. The strength of the porous pavement system is determined, in part, by the support provided by the engineered base. Consult Presto Products for engineered base details and thickness recommendations. Proper engineered base materials will promote vegetative growth and provide required structural support. If the topsoil is not present within the engineered base, grass growth may be impaired. Note that vegetated surfaces are intended for infrequent or occasional traffic.
			1.	Install Base as specified in Section 02700. Verify engineered base is installed in accordance with porous paving system manufacturer's instructions.
			2.	Coordinate base installation and preparation with subdrains specified in Section 02620.
			3.	If required, place a geotextile separation layer between the natural ground and the ' engineered base.
			4.	Place engineered base to the thickness recommended in Presto Geosystems Design and Construction Overview. The base thickness is dependent upon the sub grade CBR and wheel loading.
			5.	Place engineered base of clear stone or crushed rock, homogenously blended with topsoil.
			6.	Ensure aggregate portion of base is free from fines and has 30 percent or more void-space when compacted. Particle size should range in size from 0.375 to 1.0 inch (9.5 to 25 mm).
			7.	Add and blend topsoil before placement equal to void percentage in aggregate.
			8.	Pulverized topsoil portion shall equal plus or minus 25 percent of the total volume and be added and blended to produce a homogenous mixture prior to placement.
			9.	Compact the mixture to a 95 percent proctor density.
	3.3	INSTALLATION
		A.	Install and infill units in accordance with porous paving system manufacturer's instructions.
		B.	Installing Units:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Edit the following paragraphs as required for paving pattern.
			1.	Place units with square hole to ground.
			2.	Place units with long direction of unit perpendicular to direction of traffic. Ensure final seam pattern has seams perpendicular to traffic flow straight and seams parallel to traffic flow staggered. Using half units where required for pattern by field cutting a full unit. Lay units is the following pattern:
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select bond pattern required and delete paragraphs not required.
				a.	Install unit pattern as indicated on the Drawings.
				b.	Standard running bond bricklayer pattern for access lane applications.
				c.	Herring bone pattern for large area with random traffic flow.
			3.	Cut units with a hand or power saw to custom fit contours and around obstructions.
			4.	Ensure required traffic load transfer and support.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Units must be fixed in place and protected during the installation process, if construction traffic causes movement of the units or large temperature changes occur. Note that plastic components have a relatively high rate of thermal expansion and joint separation could occur and rejoining of separated units may be required. Once a healthy turf is developed, the root system will provide tthe necessary anchoring of the system.
			5.	Place first row of units against a stationary edge, when available.
			6.	Slide units together so interlocking tab joint is fully engaged. Units should not protrude above desired surface elevation.
			7.	Prevent units from shifting during installation as follows:
				a.	Temporary wood stakes or permanent metal stakes through holes in units.
				b.	Thread-forming tapping screws through perimeter interlocking tabs.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Anchoring may be required when placing the Geoblock units on a slope of 5-10 percent maximum. Stake length is generally 12 inches (305 mm) or longer depending on the slope, subgrade CBR and loading requirement. Delete paragraph if not required.
		C.	Anchoring of Units:
			1.	Anchor units in-place after installation of all the units within the defined area.
			2.	Anchor Geoblock units with 0.5 inch (13 mm) #4 rebar to prevent movement of the units.
			3.	Anchor length shall be _____ inches (______ mm).
			4.	Drive anchors through holes in the Geoblock units along the perimeter as required
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select the required infill system from the following paragraphs. If both systems are required indicate the location of each on the Drawings.
		D.	Infilling Units - Vegetated Systems:
			1.	Infill units with suitable topsoil immediately after units are installed to minimize potential for joint separation.
			2.	Spread topsoil infill uniformly over the units to a level even with the top of the cell wall.
			3.	Use spreading methods to prevent over-compaction of cell infill.
			4.	Topsoil: As specified in Section 02920 - Lawn and Grasses.
		E.	Infilling Units - No Infill:
			1.	If the Geoblock units are to remain unfilled, add expansion joints as required for the application.
	3.4	DELINEATION
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER** With vegetated systems, once healthy turf has been established, the Geoblock cell wall structure will have minimal visibility when good turf-maintenance practices are followed. Delineation may be desirable to create greater visibility for those using the access lanes.
		A.	Delineate the installed Geoblock system with the following method:
			1.	In-ground curbing.
			2.	Above-ground curbing.
			3.	Shrubbery or vegetation.
			4.	Perimeter lighting.
			5.	Delineation markers.
			6.	____________________________.
	3.5	SEED AND GRASSING
		A.	Finish in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select seeding or sodding from the following paragraphs. Delete the paragraphs not required. Specify sod for areas where immediate use is desired. Young sod that is free from netting materials is recommended. Mature sod with a more developed root system and sod with netting may be difficult to press and cut into the cells.
		B.	Seeding:
			1.	Follow good seeding, fertilizing, and watering procedures for turf establishment based on regional practices.
			2.	Increase watering frequency when free draining base materials are used.
			3.	Seeding: As specified in Section 02920 - Lawns and Grasses.
		C.	Sodding:
			1.	Sweep out topsoil to allow room to seat the sod.
			2.	Install young sod free from netting materials.
			3.	Press sod into partially emptied cells using a roller or other suitable equipment and follow normal watering procedures.
			4.	Sodding: As specified in Section 02920 - Lawns and Grasses.
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Fertilize, water and cut regularly to encourage root growth and development.
	3.6	MAINTENANCE
	** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Normal turf care procedures should be followed, including de-thatching and aerating. Some equipment may slightly scar or cut the Geoblock wall structure during some operations, but will not affect overall structural integrity of the system. Coordinate with Section .
		A.	Maintain grass in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and as specified in Section 02920 - Lawns and Grasses.
		B.	Normal turf care procedures should be followed, including de-thatching and aerating. Some equipment may slightly scar or cut the Geoblock wall structure during some operations, but will not affect overall structural integrity of the system.
		C.	When snow removal is required, keep a metal edged plow blade from coming in contact with the surface during plowing operations to avoid causing damage to the Geoblock units.
