Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section III-715 - Construction
A. It will be the owner's responsibility to ensure by the presence of professional construction supervision personnel that the structure is built in strict compliance with the approved designs and specifications. Adequate records shall be maintained to document that all materials and construction procedures meet or exceed those specified. The owner shall report on the construction to the DOTD. The work of construction, enlargement, alteration, repair or removal of a dam or reservoir for which approved application, designs, plans and specifications are required shall be under the responsible charge of a registered civil engineer. Upon completion of the work and prior to the impoundment of water, the engineer shall certify that all work has been done in compliance with the approved plans and specifications (See §743, Appendix 8).
B. During construction, periodic inspections may be made by representatives of the DOTD. The owner will be required to provide such works or tests as may be needed to disclose sufficient information to enable the DOTD to determine that conformity with approved plans and specifications is being maintained. Inspections made by the DOTD are "limited inspections" and do not relieve the owner or the owner's engineer from their responsibilities for conformance to accepted designs and procedures.
