B. _ The sheeting shall be securely and satisfactorily braced to withstand all pressures to which it
may be subjected and be sufficiently tight to minimize lowering of the groundwater level
outside the excavation.
C. The sheeting shall be driven by approved means to the design elevation. No sheeting may be
left so as to create a possible hazard to safety of the public or a hindrance to traffic of any
kind.
D. Ifboulders or very dense soils are encountered, making it impractical to drive a section to the
desired depth, the section shall, as directed, be cut off.
E. The sheeting shall be left in place where indicated on the drawings or ordered by the
Engineer in writing. At all other locations, the sheeting may be left in place or salvaged at
the option of the Engineer. Steel sheeting permanently left in place shall be cut off at a depth
of not less than two feet below finish grade unless otherwise directed.
F. All cut-off will become the property of the Contractor and shall be removed by him from the
site.
G. _ Responsibility for the satisfactory construction and maintenance of the excavation support
system, complete in place, shall rest with the Contractor. Any work done, including
incidental construction, which is not acceptable for the intended purpose shall be either
repaired or removed and reconstructed by the Contractor at his expense.
H. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for repairing all damage associated with
installation, performance, and removal of the excavation support system.
