Ithaca, New York MICROPILES
Immediately contact the Design Professional if unanticipated existing subsurface drainage structures
are discovered during excavation or drilling. Suspend work in these areas until remedial measures
meeting the Design Professional's approval are implemented. Cost of remedial measures or repair
work resulting from encountering unanticipated subsurface drainage structures, will be paid for as
Extra Work.
3.3 Excavation -Coordinate the work and the excavation so the micropile structures are safely con-
structed. Perform the micropile construction and related excavation in accordance with the Drawings
and approved submittals. Make no excavations steeper than those specified or shown on the ap-
proved working drawing submittals above or below the micropile structure locations without written
approval of the Design Professional.
3.4 Allowable Tolerances -Install micropile to within the following tolerances.
A. Centerline of piling shall not be more than 3 inches from indicated horizontal alignment.
B. Micropile shall be plumb within 2 percent of total-length plan alignment.
C. Top elevation of micropile shall be within plus 1.0 inch or minus 2.0 inches maximum from ver-
tical elevation indicated.
D. Centerline of reinforcing steel shall not be more than 0.75 inches from centerline of final pile lo-
cation.
3.5 Micropile Installation -Select the drilling method, grouting procedure and grouting pressure used
for the installation of the micropiles. Determine the micropile casing size, final drillhole diameter,
bond length, and central reinforcement steel sizing necessary to support the specified factored loads
and satisfy load testing requirements. Estimate the quantity of grout takes.
A. Drilling -Provide drilling equipment and methods suitable for drilling through the conditions to
be encountered, without causing damage to any overlying or adjacent known structures or ser-
vices. The drillhole must be open along its full length to at least the design minimum drillhole di-
ameter prior to placing grout and reinforcement.
Temporary casing or other approved method of micropile drillhole support will be required in
caving or unstable ground to permit the micropile shaft to be formed to the minimum design
drillhole diameter. The contractor's proposed method(s) to provide drillhole support and to pre-
vent detrimental ground movements shall be reviewed by the Design Professional. Detrimental
ground movement is defined as movement which requires remedial repair measures. Use of drill-
ing fluid containing bentonite is not allowed.
B. Ground Heave or Subsidence -During construction, observe the conditions in the vicinity of the
micropile construction site on a daily basis for signs of ground heave or subsidence. Immediately
notify the Design Professional if signs of movements are observed. Immediately suspend or mod-
ify drilling or grouting operations if ground heave or subsidence is observed, if the micropile
structure is adversely affected, or if adjacent structures are damaged from the drilling or grouting.
If the Design Professional determines that the movements require corrective action, take correc-
tive actions necessary to stop the movement or perform repairs. When due to the Contractor's
methods or operations or failure to follow the specified/approved construction sequence, as de-
termined by the Design Professional, the costs of providing corrective actions will be borne by
BIG RED BARN STRUCTURAL MICROPILES 31 6225-11
IMPROVEMENTS January 17, 2014
CORNELL SECTION 31 62 25
Ithaca, New York MICROPILES
the contractor. When due to differing site conditions, as determined by the Design Professional,
the costs of providing corrective actions will be paid as Extra Work.
C. Core Steel Placement -Place core steel either prior to grouting or into the grout-filled drillhole
before temporary casing (if used) is withdrawn. Reinforcement surfaces shall be free of deleteri-
ous substances such as soil, mud, grease or oil that might contaminate the grout or coat the rein-
forcement and impair bond. Pile cages and reinforcement groups (if used) shall be sufficiently ro-
bust to withstand the installation and grouting process and the withdrawal of the drill casings
without damage or disturbance.
Provide centralizers and spacers equally spaced along the length of the micropile with a 10-foot
maximum center-to-center spacing. Locate the upper and lower most centralizers a maximum of
5.0 feet from the top and bottom of the micropile respectively. Provide at least two centralizers
per micropile. For micropiles less than or equal to 20 feet in length, place centralizers at the top
and bottom quarter points of the micropile. Centralizers and spacers shall permit the free flow of
grout without misalignment of the reinforcing bar(s) and permanent casing. Lower the central re-
inforcement bars with centralizers into the stabilized drillhole and set. Insert the reinforcing steel
into the drillhole to the desired depth without difficulty. Do not force or drive partially inserted
reinforcing bars into the hole. Redrill and reinsert reinforcing steel when necessary to facilitate
insertion.
D. Grouting -Measure the grout quantity and pumping pressure during the grouting operations.
Provide the Design Professional with records showing the quantities, test data, and grout pres-
sures.
After drilling, flush the hole with water and/or air to remove drill cuttings. Use a stable neat ce-
ment grout or a sand cement grout with a minimum 28-day unconfined compressive strength as
required in the contractor's submitted design. The cement shall not contain lumps or other evi-
dence of poor mixing. Admixtures, if used, shall be mixed in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations. Use grouting equipment that produces a grout free of lumps and undispersed
cement. Equip the pump with a pressure gauge to monitor grout pressures. Place a second pres-
sure gauge at the point of injection. The pressure gauges shall be capable of measuring pressures
of at least 150 psi or twice the actual grout pressures used by the contractor, whichever is greater.
Size the grouting equipment to enable the grout to be pumped in one continuous operation.
Inject the grout from the lowest point of the drillhole. The grout may be pumped through grout
tubes, casing, hollow-stem augers, or drill rods. Control the grout pressures and grout takes to
prevent excess grout take, excessive ground heave and fracturing of rock formations. Fill the en-
tire micropile length with grout containing no voids or inclusions. Upon completion of grouting,
the grout tube may remain in the hole, and shall be filled with grout.
If a postgrouting system is to be used, submit working drawings and details to the Design Profes-
sional for review.
E. Grout Testing -Grout within the micropile verification and proof test piles shall attain the mini-
mum required compressive strength as identified in the contractor's design submittal prior to load
testing. Previous test results for the proposed grout mix, completed within one year of the start of
work, may be submitted for initial verification of the required compressive strengths for installa-
tion of pre-production verification test piles and initial production piles. During production, mi-
cropile grout shall be tested by the contractor for compressive strength in accordance with

frequently. The compressive strength shall be the average of the 3 cubes tested.
Grout consistency as measured by grout density shall be determined by the contractor per ASTM
C 188/AASHTO T 133 or API RP-13B-1 at a frequency of at least one test per verification or
proof test micropile, conducted just prior to start of grouting. For production micropiles, perform
grout density testing at a frequency at least once per each period of continuous grouting operation
or once per day, whichever is more frequent. The Baroid Mud Balance used in accordance with
API RP-13B-1 is an approved device for determining the grout density of neat cement grout. The
measured grout density shall be consistent with the contractor's approved working drawing con-
struction submittals.
Grout samples shall be taken directly from the grout plant. Provide grout cube compressive
strength and grout density test results to the Design Professional within 24 hours of testing.

specified herein or designated by the Design Professional. Perform compression load testing in
accordance with ASTM Dl 143, tension load testing in accordance with ASTM D3689, and lat-
eral load testing in accordance with ASTM D3966, except as modified herein. When both com-
pression and tension load testing is to be performed on the same pile, test the pile under compres-
sion loads prior to testing under tension loads.
The maximum verification and proof test loads applied to the micropile shall not exceed 80 per-
cent of the structural capacity of the micropile structural elements, to include steel yield in ten-
sion, steel yield or buckling in compression, or grout crushing in compression. Any required in-
crease in strength of the verification test pile elements above the strength required for the produc-
tion piles shall be provided for in the contractor's bid price.

curves. Design the testing reaction frame to be sufficiently rigid and of adequate dimen-
sions such that excessive deformation of the testing equipment does not occur. Align the
jack, bearing plates, and stressing anchorage such that unloading and repositioning of the
equipment will not be required during the test.
Apply and measure the test load with a hydraulic jack and pressure gauge. The pressure
gauge shall be graduated in 100 psi increments or less. The jack and pressure gauge shall

Position the jack at the beginning of the test such that unloading and repositioning during
the test will not be required. Monitor the creep test load hold during verification tests
with both the pressure gauge and the load cell. Use the load cell to accurately maintain a
constant load hold during the creep test load hold increment of the verification test.
Measure the pile top movement with a dial gauge capable of measuring to 0.001 inch.
The dial gauge shall have a travel sufficient to allow the test to be done without having to
reset the gauge. Visually align the gauge to be parallel with the axis of the micropile and
support the gauge independently from the jack, pile or reaction frame. Use a minimum of
two dial gauges when the test setup requires reaction against the ground or single reaction
piles on each side of the test pile. The required load test data shall be recorded by the
contractor and verified by the Design Professional.
2. Test Loading Schedule -Test piles designated for compression or tension load testing to

cle time (6 to 60 minutes or the last log cycle if held longer). The creep rate shall
be linear or decreasing throughout the creep load hold period.
4. Verification Test Pile Rejection -If a verification-tested micropile fails to meet the ac-
ceptance criteria, modify the design, the construction procedure, or both. These modifica-
tions may include modifying the installation methods, increasing the bond length, or
changing the micropile type. Any modification that necessitates changes to the structure
shall require the Design Professional's prior review and acceptance. Any modifications of
design or construction procedures or cost of additional verification test piles and load
testing shall be at the contractor's expense. At the completion of verification testing, re-

1.0 INTRODUCTION:
Delta Engineers, Architects, & Land Surveyors (Delta) was contracted by Cornell University, to
provide a Pre-Renovation Asbestos Survey at the Big Red Barn (Building 2040), located on the
Cornell Ithaca, New York Campus. The survey was performed in support of the upcoming
Roofing/Window Renovation Project and addressed suspect materials with the potential to be
impacted by the upcoming Renovation Work. The initial stage of the Survey included a review of
past Delta Survey information for the Building. Bulk sample results from Delta sampling services
are incorporated into this Survey and associated Survey Report where applicable.
On December 18th, 2013 Delta Certified Inspector Thomas Ferro was on site to perform sampling
of suspect materials. Based on a review of existing sample information and a visual inspection of
the renovation areas, a total of ten (10) bulk samples were collected representing five (5) separate
suspect homogenous building materials. All ten (10) of the samples collected were non-friable
organically bound (NOB) representing the five (5) homogenous materials. The homogenous
materials identified and sampled included:
Homogenous
Area (HA) Building Material
01 Gray Window Glazing, Exterior, East Wing
02 White Window Glazing, Exterior, Main Building
03 Dark Green Three Tabbed Shingle, Top Layer
04 Black Three Tabbed Shingle, Bottom Layer
05 Black Caulk
2013.044.210-01* Paper Backing from yellow fiberglass wall insulation
2013.044.210-02* Brown Fiberboard from Wall Cavity
2013.044.210-03* Black Vapor Barrier under Siding
2013.044.233-01* Green Paper Sheetrock
2013.044.233-02* Joint Compound
2013.044.233-03* Dark Gray Hardwood Flooring Mastic
2013.044.233-04* White Coating on Metal Decking
* - Material Previously Sampled by Delta
It should be noted that the entire roof was covered with snow at the time of the sampling.
As such, the visual inspection and associated suspect roofing material identification/
sampling was limited to only those specific locations where the snow was cleared by the
Shops Personnel for sampling purposes. Any roofing repair tars, sealants, “patch”
materials or other suspect roofing materials present on the roof but not identified/sampled
due to the snow load should be assumed asbestos containing until tested.

EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs): (NESHAPs)
regulates asbestos under “40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M - National Emission Standard for
Asbestos”. Subpart M regulates demolition and/or renovation of “facilities” that may contain
asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). “Facilities,” as defined by NESHAPs, includes any
institutional, commercial, public, industrial, or residential structure or building, except residential
buildings having four or fewer units. ACMs are defined in NESHAPs as materials containing more
than 1 percent asbestos. Section 61.145 states:
61.145 Standard for demolition and renovation.
(a) Applicability. To determine which requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of this section apply to the owner
or operator of a demolition or renovation activity and prior to the commencement of the demolition or renovation,
thoroughly inspect the affected facility or part of the facility where the demolition or renovation operation will occur
for the presence of asbestos, including Category I and Category II nonfriable ACM.
It should be noted that 40 CFR Part 1 Subpart M, NESHAPS has no cut-off date exempting
survey requirements.
New York State Department of Labor (NYS DOL): Guidelines followed for the inspection are
those established by the NYS DOL’s Industrial Code Rule 56 (Cited as 12 NYCRR Part 56 , as
amended, adopted January 11, 2006; effective September 5, 2006). The specific survey,

Samples collected during the course of this survey fell into one of two categories. The first
category includes non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials. These materials are those which
have an organic binder in their matrix and include items such as floor tiles, sheet flooring, mastics,
glazings, caulks and roofing materials. The second category includes non-NOB “friable” materials
including parging, sheetrock, joint compound, wall insulations, and wallboard.
Analysis of all “NOB” materials was initially performed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)
following the New York State Department of Health ELAP 198.6 Gravimetric Reduction
Methodology. If a given sample was reported as non-asbestos following this analysis, it was then
analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) following the NYS DOH ELAP 198.4
Methodology.
2.3 Materials not sampled
There were several materials present at the site which were not considered “suspect” by the
inspector and were not sampled. These included various fiberglass, foam, vinyl, silicone,
wood/cellulose products and concrete/cinder block/brick components.

3.2) Big Red Barn Building 2040 Roofing/Windows Renovation Project, Asbestos
Containing Materials - Based previous Delta results and results reported for samples collected
during this Survey of suspect materials present at the Big Red Barn with the potential to be
impacted by the Project, NONE were identified as being Asbestos Containing.
It should be noted that the entire roof was covered with snow at the time of the sampling.
As such, the visual inspection and associated suspect roofing material identification/
sampling was limited to only those specific locations where the snow was cleared by the
Shops Personnel for sampling purposes. Any roofing repair tars, sealants, “patch”
materials or other suspect roofing materials present on the roof but not identified/sampled
due to the snow load should be assumed asbestos containing until tested.
4.0 INACCESSIBLE AREAS
All accessible suspect materials were sampled as a part of this survey. Any materials present on
the roof that have not been sampled (i.e. inaccessible at the time of this survey) shall be assumed
ACM until tested.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Delta Engineers, Architects, & Land Surveyors (Delta) was contracted by Cornell University,
to provide a "limited" interior lead paint survey at the Big Red Barn (Building 2040) located on
the Cornell Ithaca, New York Campus in support of the Roofing/Window Renovation Project.
Delta Representative Robert Mosher conducted the limited XRF Lead Based Paint Survey on
January 3rd. 2014 and addressed ONLY suspect interior painted surfaces in accessible
rooms. Representative XRF sampling following HUD Protocol was performed on interior
surfaces and components.
Delta took four hundred and sixty-four (64) assays (plus 3 "pre" and 3 "post" calibration
assays) of observed painted surfaces and components utilizing the XRF analyzer to
determine the presence of lead-based paint at the building.
APPLICABLE STANDARDS/GUIDELINES:
The standards used to identify lead-based paint for this survey were taken from the OSHA
1926.62 (Lead) Standard, modification of the guidelines established by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as well as New York State regulations.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
On May 4, 1993, OSHA promulgated the Lead Exposure in Construction Rule and codified
the regulation in Title 29, CFR, Part 1926.62. This particular regulation applies to all
construction activities involving potential lead exposures. This regulation defines construction
work as "work for construction, alteration, and/or repair including painting and decorating". It
further states "the standard for the construction industry applies to all occupational exposure
to lead in all construction work in which lead, in any amount, is present in an occupationally
related context where the source of the lead is employment related, all exposure to lead is
covered by the standard."
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines the action level for
lead-based paint as a lead content equal to or greater than 1.0 milligrams of lead per square
centimeter of painted surface (> 1.0 mg Pb/cm 2 ) when measured with an XRF analyzer, or
0.5 percent by weight when chemically tested. This definition is described in the HUD "Lead-
Based Paint: Interim Guidelines for Hazard Identification and Abatement in Public and Indian
Housing, September 1990."
New York State
The State of New York's definition of the action level for lead-based paint is consistent with
the level established by HUD. The State is in the process of adopting LBP regulations which
are based on the HUD guidelines and currently enforces only licensing/certification
requirements.

SAMPLING METHODS/PROCEDURES:
Delta performed sampling utilizing a RMD LPA-1 XRF Lead Paint Analyzer. The Lead Paint
Analyzer is a state-of-the-art XRF spectrum analyzing system for the quantitative
measurement of lead in paint on any surface. The LPA- 1 Analyzer uses a Co-57 radioactive
source and an advanced, solid-state, room temperature, radiation detector to generate and
detect the x-ray fluorescence spectrum of a painted surface. The x-ray fluorescence
properties are determined through calibration process and are used for automatic substrate
correction and calculation of the lead content of a painted surface. The RMD XRF Lead Paint
Analyzer is operated with guidance from the Performance Characteristic Sheet' developed
by Quan Tech, Inc. under a contract from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). The instrument has an action level of 1.0 mg/cm 2 with results at or
above this value classified as Lead-Based Paint as per the applicable HUD and NYS
regulations referenced above. Results reported as greater than 0.0 mg/cm 2 are considered
Lead-Containing Paint as per the OSHA standards.
RESULTS
Delta took 64 individual assays of interior painted wall and ceiling surfaces present in the Big
Red Barn Building 2040 of which NONE were positive for the presence of lead as per the
NYS and HUD >/= 1.0 mg/cm 2 Criteria referenced above for Lead Based Paint. Six (6) were
reported as being lead-containing paint as per the OSHA "> 0.0 mg/cm 2 and < 1.0 mg/cm 2 s
criteria. The remaining fifty-eight (58) assays were reported as being less than or equal to
0.0 mg/cm 2 .As defined by Industry guidelines, for purposes of identifying/locating the various
surfaces and components included in this survey, the wall in which one enters a room is
referenced as "Wall A", with Wall B immediately to the left of "A" and Walls C and D
continuing clockwise around the room.

Ithaca, New York SPILL CONTROL
PART 1 -GENERAL
1.1 SPILL PREVENTION
A. In order to minimize the potential for discharge to the environment of oil, petroleum, or
hazardous substances on site, the following requirements shall apply to all projects:
1. All oil, petroleum, or hazardous materials stored or relocated temporarily on site
during the construction process shall be stored in such a manner as to provide
protection from vehicular damage and to provide contaimnent of leaks or spills.
Horizontal diked oil storage tanks, temporary benns or barriers, or similar
methods shall be employed as appropriate at each site.
2. Any on-site filling or dispensing activities shall occur within an area in which a
temporary berm, boom, or similar containment barrier has been placed to prevent
the inadvertent discharge to the environment of hannful quantities of any
products.
3. All oil, petroleum, or hazardous materials stored on site shall be located in such a
manner as to minimize the potential of damage from construction operations or
vehicles, away from drainage ways and environmentally sensitive areas, and in
accordance with all fire and safety codes.
B. Remove immediately from the site any storage, dispensing, or operating equipment that
is leaking oil or hazardous substances or is in anyway unsuitable for the safe storage of
such materials.
1.2 SPILL CONTROL PROCEDURES
All Contractor personnel working at the project site shall be knowledgeable of the potential
health and safety concerns associated with petroleum and other hazardous substances that
could potentially be released at the project site. Following are a list of activities that should
be conducted by the Contractor in the event of an oil/petroleum spill or the release of any
other hazardous substance. In the event of a large quantity spill that would require cleanup
procedures that are beyond the means of the Contractor, an emergency spill cleanup
contractor shall be hired by the Contractor. In the event the Contractor has the personnel
necessary to cleanup the spill, the following procedures shall be followed:
A. Personnel discovering/responding to a spill shall:
1. Identify and locate the source of the spill. If unsafe conditions exist, then leave
the area, inform nearby personnel, notify the site supervisor, and initiate spill
reporting (Section 1. 3).
2. Limit the discharge of product, if safely possible, by: (1) diverting discharge to a
containment area; (2) creating temporary dikes with soils or other available
materials; and (3) utilizing sorbent materials. If secondary containment is
present, verify that valves and drains are closed prior to diverting the product to
this area.
