Labeling
Each roll shall be labeled with the manufacturer's name, product
identification, roll dimensions, lot number, and date manufactured.
1.5.2.2
Handling
Geosynthetic rolls shall be handled and unloaded by hand, or with load
carrying straps, a fork lift with a stinger bar, or an axial bar assembly.
Geosynthetic rolls shall not be dragged, lifted by one end, lifted by
cables or chains, or dropped to the ground.
1.5.2.3
Storage
Geotextiles shall be protected from cement, paint, excessive mud,
chemicals, sparks and flames, temperatures in excess of 70 degrees C 160
degrees F, and any other environmental condition that may degrade the
physical properties. If stored outdoors, the rolls shall be elevated from
the ground surface. Geotextiles shall be protected with an opaque
waterproof cover. Geotextiles shall be delivered to the site in a dry and
undamaged condition.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
Measurement of ACB revetment for payment will be made on the basis of the
face area. The pay lines of ACB revetment will be neat lines taken off the
approved shop drawings; and will include embedded blocks and anchor
trenches. Work includes incidental grading and preparatory work,
furnishing and installing the geotextile and ACB, filling the voids,
securing cable fasteners, installing soil anchors, and seeding (where
specified). Engineering services and product testing shall be incidental,
if required. Placing cast-in-place concrete joints and cutting blocks
shall be incidental, if required. Payment will be made at the respective
unit price per square meter (SM) foot (SF) listed on the Bidding Schedule.
Payment will be full compensation for all material, labor and equipment to
complete the work.

ARTICULATING CONCRETE BLOCK
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Hand placed (interlocking) ACB typically
provides a neater, more pleasing appearance in parks
and public areas. Cabled ACB can have superior
hydraulic stability to interlocking products, it is
more difficult to remove (such as by vandalism), and
it has improved constructibility when placed in
water.
The table of ACB requirements is comprehensive, and
many of the properties are interrelated. Including
all listed properties will be specification overkill
for most projects. Renumber notes where properties
are deleted.
