15.2 CHAPTER FIFTEEN

This suggested guide specification has been developed using the current edition of the Construction
Specifications Institute (CSI) "Manual of Practice," including the recommendations for the CSI 3 Part Section
Format. Additionally, the development concept and organizational format of the American Institute of Architects
(AIA) MASTERSPEC Program have been recognized in the preparation of this guide specification. Neither CSI
nor AIA endorses the use of specific manufacturers and products.

PART 1 GENERAL
1.01 SUMMARY

Ed Note: This Section specifies prefabricated drainage for both vertical and horizontal applications. Drainage course material requires
selection based upon site-specific soil conditions and flow rates required.

Ed Note: Revise below to suit project conditions. Select drainage composites appropriate to project requirements. This section does not
include sheet membrane waterproofing; refer to Division 7 Waterproofing Specification Section. Coordinate requirements of the two sections
with each other to avoid conflicting requirements.

A. Section Includes: Prefabricated Drainage Composite.
1. Types of Prefabricated Drainage Composites include:
a. Prefabricated drainage composite for below grade, vertical wall applications.

I Ed Note: Select appropriate system from above or below.
b. Prefabricated drainage composite for below grade, vertical wall applications.

Ed Note: Revise below to suit project conditions and specification preparation requirements. Add section numbers per CSI
"MASTERFORMAT" and Office Specification Practices.

B. Related Sections:
1. Earthwork: Refer to Division 2
2. Landscaping: Refer to Division 2
3. Pipe and fittings: Refer to Division 2
4. Storm sewage systems: Refer to Division 2
5. Cast-in-place concrete: Refer to Division 3
6. Structural pre-cast concrete: Refer to Division 3
7. Masonry: Refer to Division 4
8. Waterproofing: Refer to Division 7
9. Dampproofing: Refer to Division 7
10. Insulation: Refer to Division 7
11. Other appropriate project specific specifications sections

Mop Note: Below paragraph should describe products and work included in this section which are covered by
alternates. Include alternate descriptions. Coordinate this section with Division 1 alternate section. Bid
