80 FENCES 80-1 GENERAL 80-1.01 GENERAL Section 80-1 includes general specifications for constructing fences. 80-1.02 MATERIALS A temporary must comply with the Contract for a permanent fence of the same type except: 1. Used materials may be incorporated in the fence if the materials are good, sound, and suitable for the intended purpose 2. Materials may be commercial quality if the dimensions and of the materials are equal to or greater than the dimensions and sizes shown on the plans or specified in section 80 3. Posts must be either metal or wood 4. The Department does not require: 4.1. Galvanizing or painting of steel elements 4.2. Treating wood with a wood preservative 4.3. Concrete footings for metal posts For concrete for metal post and brace footings and for deadmen, use: 1. Commercial-quality aggregates and cementitious material 2. At least 470 pounds of cementitious material per cubic yard 80-1.03 CONSTRUCTION Remove earth, trees, brush, and other obstructions that interfere with fence construction. Connect new fences to existing fences. Measure post spacing parallel to the ground Place each post in a vertical position except where the Engineer orders you to set the post perpendicular to the ground surface. Place a corner post with a brace for each direction of strain at each junction with an existing fence. Fasten the wire in the new and existing fences to each post. If ordered at a structure, connect the new fence to the structure such that stock can pass freely through or under the structure; otherwise, install an end post and connect the fence to it. Crown each concrete footing to shed water. After constructing a fence, uniformly spread the surplus excavated material along the adjacent roadway where designated by the Engineer. 80-1.04 PAYMENT The payment quantity for fence is the length measured: 1. Parallel to the ground slope 2. Along the fence The payment quantity does not include the width of openings. 80-2 BARBED WIRE AND WIRE MESH FENCES 80-2.01 GENERAL 80-2.01A Summary Section 80-2 includes specifications for constructing barbed wire and wire mesh fences. 80-2.01B Definitions Change in a line where the angle of deflection is less than: alignment angle: 1. 5 degrees for a steel post barbed wire or wire mesh fence 2. 15 degrees for a wood post barbed wire or wire mesh fence
