Project File M&N#:8057-03 <br /> 26 February 2015 Site Visit Memorandum <br /> Figures 4 and 5 show tiebacks and anchors along the north end of the Segment B deadman, and the <br /> west end of Segment A. Rusting of the anchor nut and the tie rod is visible as these components have <br /> been exposed and unprotected from the elements. Prior to installing the plastic caps and filling with <br /> grease this rust should be removed.The rust on the tie rods should be cleaned off with a wire wheel. <br /> After cleaning, if the nuts show any evidence of pitting or heavy corrosion we recommend that the nuts <br /> should be replaced. If the tieback rods show any evidence of pitting or heavy corrosion we recommend <br /> that the tiebacks be rejected per Section 02260 3.02 D.1. Actual rejection will be at the Ports discretion. <br /> If there is no pitting,then there is no need to replace the nuts and the grease caps can be installed. <br /> The tiebacks along 14th Street are still buried or partically buried. Mike P.from Bergerson indicated that <br /> they are waiting for Magnus to uncover the deadman anchors before they can do any cleaning or install <br /> the grease caps. For these tiebacks,we will want to inspect each tieback after they have been <br /> uncovered and cleaned using a wire wheel.Again, we will recommend rejection if there is pitting or <br /> heavy corrosion. It is not clear whether the Contractor has installed grease behind the anchor plates <br /> towards the inside of the concrete deadman. This should be verified for all tiebacks. <br /> J4 <br /> 2 <br /> Figure 6:Tieback 16 Sheathing Damage <br /> ,,,, 6 <br />
