!GENERAL NOTES-Slope I
1 .) A maximum allowable slope of 1.0 (horizontal) to 1.0 (vertical) may be used during
trench excavation in soil materials in lieu of trench shoring systems. Soil materials
that could be sloped to this configuration include clayand sandy clay. This
temporary slope configuration represents the steepest incline for short-term
conditions (a time period less than 72 hours) that is acceptable given probable but
subjective influences from rainfall and normal equipment vibrations.' However, if
during excavation or construction of this project there is any indication of general or
local instability, slopes shall be cut back to a slope which is at least 0.25
(horizontal) to 1.0 (vertical) flatter than the specified slopes outlined previously,
i.e., this translates to a total slope of 1.25 (horizontal) to 1.0 (vertical). This flattening
of the slopes may be required due to the deterioration of the shear strength with
time or due to trench flooding, instability induced from excessive adjacent vibrations
(resulting from equipment operation), excessive adjacent surcharge loads due to
equipment or stockpiled excavated materials, shrinkage cracks due to drying, etc.
2.) Additional flattening of slopes is required when any of the following conditions are
present;
1 .) Slopes in soft loose soils or fill materials shall be flattened to 2:1
2.) If an existing parallel utility line is located within a horizontal distance
equal to the depth of the new utility excavation, all slopes shall be
flattened an additional 0.5:1.
3.) Contractor's "Competent Person" shall monitor the excavation to evaluate
subsurface conditions and determine soil type and condition. When contractor's
"Competent Person" cannot assure that the slope is suitable for safe use, a
qualified soils engineer shall be consulted.

I GENERAL NOTES-Trench Shields i
1 .) A Trench Shield is a structure that normally will not prevent a cave-in, but is
able to withstand the forces imposed on it by a cave-in and thereby protect
workers within the structure. Trench Shields are also referred to as "Trench
Boxes". These general notes also are applicable to Manhole Shields.
2.) A "Pre-manufactured Shield" is a product designed,- constructed and marketed
to the construction industry as a method of protecting personnel while working
in trenches subject to cave-ins.
3.) A "Shop-built Shield" is defined herein as a shield built by a contractor or his
agent for their own use as a personnel protection device and is not available
commercially as a product to the construction industry.
4.) Acceptable Shield Systems:
Pre-manufactured shields are commercially available and may be used
provided that the shields are selected and used in accordance with the
manufacturer's specifications, recommendations and limitations. Deviations
from manufacturer's specifications, recommendations and limitations will not be
allowed without the manufacturer's specific written approval. This specific
written approval of deviations must be kept at the jobsite along with the
manufacturer's specifications and recommendations for use and other
instructional use literature for the specific shield.
5.) Shop-built shields may be used, when designed and sealed by a professional
engineer registered in the state of Texas and having a background in the
practice of structural engineering.
6.) Ail shields must be free from damage or defects that might impair their proper
function. Shields shall be used and maintained in a manner consistent with the
recommendations of the manufacturer or design engineer. Damaged shields
shall be removed from service until authorized repairs are made.
7.) Shields shall be installed in a manner which restricts lateral or other hazardous
movement of the shield in the event of the application of sudden lateral loads.
Where trench shields are stacked, a mechanism must be available for
connecting the shields to prevent differential movement between the shields
when subjected to laterals. Benching of earth material below the bottom of the
shield is allowed to a maximum of 2.0 ft., when this benched material is of
sufficient strength to support the shield.
8.) Workmen shall not be allowed in shields when shields are being installed,
removed or moved vertically. A ladder or other safe means of entry and exit
shall be located such that workmen are not exposed to a potential cave-in
hazard during entry or exit from the shield.

!GENERAL NOTES-Trench Shields Cont'd.
9.) Shields shall be used such that excavated soil, rock or other debris can not fall
or roll into the trench shield. In vertical trenches, the shield should rise a
minimum of 1'-6" above the ground surface. In situations where a slope is
constructed above the top of the shield, the top of the shield should extend a
minimum of 1'- 6" above the point at which the slope begins. In addition, the
contractor shall be responsible for removal of soil which may slide into the
trench or against the trench shield and for replacing these materials in
accordance with backfill specifications.
IGENERAL NOTES-Trench Shores
1.) Aluminum Hydraulic Shores are a product designed and manufactured as an
alternate to timber shoring in order to provide a light weight product capable of
being installed and removed without entering the trench.
2.) Aluminum Hydraulic Shores shall be designed and manufactured so as to comply
with OSHA regulations and provide strengths of the vertical rail and hydraulic
cross-brace which are not less than a timber bracing system which would be
required under the same loading condition. The manufacturer must have complete
design calculations on all system components and shall make this information
available to the Owner. The following minimum requirements shall be met by the
manufacturers' product:
a. Vertical rails shall have a minimum width of 8 inches and have an
equivalent strength in bending of not less than that of a 3" by 10" No. 2
Douglas Fir timber with its' wide side to the trench wall. The rail must be
capable of having plywood attached to it, if necessary.
b. The hydraulic cross-braces shall be minimum 2-inch I.D. and capable of
sustaining a axial force of not less than 20,000 pounds at al .50 safety
factor at 50% extension.
c. Aluminum oversleeves shall be used in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Extensions shall not be used unless
approved in writing by the manufacturer.
d. Hydraulic pumps shall be equipped with calibrated gauge having a
minimum operating range of 750-1500 psi.
e. All other accessories and specialty tools shall be furnished and used as
per the manufacturer's recommendations.
3.) The vertical rails, hydraulic cylinder cross-braces and all other components of the
systems shall be in good, serviceable condition and without damage or defects
which would prohibit proper use. The hydraulic system, shall not exhibit leaks or
pressure loss or otherwise indicate the possible loss of system pressure while in
use. Damaged components pr improperly operating equipment shall be removed

quality, CDX grade or better.
b. Hardwood plywood must be 3/4", minimum thickness, Arctic Birch
plywood. "FinnForm" brand or equal, 14 ply-all hardwood.
Plywood which is broken, bent, frayed or otherwise deformed and
unsuitable for its intended purpose shall be replaced.
5.) The contractor shall install aluminum hydraulic shores in accordance with these
specifications and the manufacturer's specifications, instructions, recommendations and
imitations. The recommended shore lengths and spacing are shown in these
specifications.The contractor may decrease the spacing to provide additional lateral
support if so required by site observations. The contractor's "Competent Person" shall
insure that the workmen installing, removing and working around the shoring have been
adequately trained in the proper procedures for their installation, safe use and removal.
6.) Hydraulic shores shall be installed flush against the trench walls such that the vertical
rails have uniform support. The top hydraulic cylinder must not be located above the
existing ground surface. The hydraulic cylinders shall be pressurized to a normal working
range of 750-1000 psi.
7.) The contractor may at his discretion utilize shorter rails in order to accommodate
those situations such as backfilling where the trench depth becomes to shallow for
use of the standard 7-foot vertical rail. The shorter aluminum hydraulic shores must
meet or exceed all of the specification requirements herein.
8.) Plywood shall be attached to the vertical rails and used in this manner any time
there is evidence of raveling, sloughing or caving which cannot be adequately
shored by skip-shoring. In particular, plywood backing will be necessary when
shoring cross-trenches, when excavating in previously disturbed soils, and at those
locations as indicated in these specifications.
9.) The contractor may at his discretion temporarily remove shoring to expedite the
installation of piping provided that workmen are not located in the unshored trench
and provided that the shoring is properly replaced.
10.) While backfilling the trench, the contractor shall maintain the stability of the trench
walls by adjusting the location of the shores vertically such that workmen can safely
place and compact the backfill materials. Workmen shall not be in a position to be
endangered by this adjustment procedure.
11 .) The contractor may remove the hydraulic shores from .the trench during backfilling
operations provided the following conditions are met:
a. Backfilling is performed by mechanical devices which do not.'require that
workmen be in the trench.
b. The trench walls maintain their shape without sloughing.
c. The removal of the hydraulic shores does not endanger adjacent
structures, roadways or utilities.
