Materials for adjusting facilities to grade must be similar in character to the existing materials.
15-1.03 CONSTRUCTION 15-1.03A General
Backfill trenches, holes, depressions, and pits caused by performing work on an existing facility. In an unsurfaced area, backfill with embankment material under section 19. In a surfaced area, backfill with material equal to or better than the surrounding material. Grade backfilled areas to drain and blend in with the surrounding area.
Clean earth and other foreign material, including concrete, from material to be salvaged or incorporated into the work.
Dispose of removed facilities not to be salvaged or incorporated into the work.
If you damage a facility or a portion of a facility to remain in place, repair or replace it. The repair or replacement must be equal or better in quality than the original portion.
Repair or replace materials to be salvaged or incorporated into the work that are lost or damaged during work activities. The repair or replacement must be equal or better in quality than the original portion. Instead of this repair or replacement, the Department may deduct the repair or replacement cost.
Replace material from existing facilities described to be reused in the work if the Engineer determines the material is unsuitable. Furnishing the replacement material is change order work.
If you damage a part of a loop conductor specified to remain in place, including the part leading to the adjacent pull box, replace the entire loop detector and any adjacent loops damaged during the replacement.
Break the floors of structures within the roadway that are not required to be removed such that water will not be entrapped.
Where abrasive blasting is performed within 10 feet of a lane open to traffic, remove residue with a vacuum attachment operating concurrently with the blast cleaning equipment.
15-1.03B Removing Concrete
Where concrete is described to be removed, remove the concrete to a depth of at least 3 feet below finished grade.
Concrete removal includes removal of any steel embedded in the concrete.
Before removing a portion of a monolithic concrete element, make a 1-inch-deep saw cut to a true line along the limits of removal on faces of the element that will be visible in the completed work.
Protect existing reinforcement to be incorporated into the new work from damage.
Where new concrete is to join existing concrete, remove enough concrete to allow splicing of new reinforcement.
Thoroughly remove all material adhering to the existing reinforcement before embedding it in new concrete.
Instead of disposing of removed concrete, you may:
1. Incorporate it in adjacent embankments if it is:
1.1. Broken into parts at most 10 inches in greatest dimension
1.2. Buried at least 3 feet below the finished grade and slope lines
1.3. Buried at least 10 feet from trees or highway facilities
1.4. Not buried where piling is to be constructed
2. Place it at authorized locations such that it will not present an unsightly appearance from the highway
15-1.03C Salvaging Facilities
Tag the bundles, packages, and individually salvaged material. Show the following information on the tags:
1. Name or description of the material
2. Type or model number
3. Dimensions
4. Quantity if more than 1
Haul salvaged material directly to the location specified in the special provisions and stockpile it. If authorized, you may temporarily stockpile salvaged material at the job site. Replace any salvaged material that is lost before it is stockpiled at the location specified in the special provisions.

Constructing temporary facilities includes placing temporary devices.
16-1.02 MATERIALS
You may use used materials for temporary facilities if the used materials comply with the specifications for new materials.
16-1.03 CONSTRUCTION
Maintain temporary facilities until they are no longer needed.
Excavate and backfill as necessary to remove temporary facilities. Backfill with materials of equal or better quality and to a comparable density of the surrounding materials and grade the surface to match the existing grade and cross slope.
Dispose of temporary facilities when they are no longer needed.

Reserved
16-2.02B Materials 16-2.02B(1) General
The walkway must be surfaced with asphalt concrete, commercial-quality concrete, or wood. The surface must be skid resistant and free of irregularities.
Hand railings must be S4S lumber and painted white.
The protective overhead covering of a temporary pedestrian facility must be plywood at least 3/4 inch thick or wood planking with a nominal minimum thickness of 2 inches.
16-2.02B(2) Design Requirements
Design a temporary pedestrian facility with a protective overhead covering to support all imposed loads.
The design load and maximum allowable stresses for a temporary pedestrian facility with protective overhead covering must comply with section 48-2.02B. The minimum design live load for a temporary pedestrian facility with a protective overhead covering must be 150 psf for the entire structure.
16-2.02C Construction
Construct handrails on each side of a temporary pedestrian facility as necessary to protect pedestrian traffic from hazards due to work activities or adjacent vehicular traffic.
The minimum width between the inside face of the handrails must be 60 inches. The clear height of the facility measured from the floor surface to the canopy overhead must be at least 8 feet. Provide adequate lighting at all times.
