<p><p><h2>Summary of Example Specifications</h2><div class="grayed-title subsection"><strong>Specification Name/Number:</strong> Feicheng Sanjie Engineering Materials</div><strong>Reference(s):<br></strong><em>Feicheng Sanjie Engineering Materials Co., Ltd., China</em>The specification provides the material, height, welding distance, properties, applications in different fields of engineering, delivery time, and payment methods of geocells.<br>This specification is available online at:<br>http://factory.dhgate.com/geocells/geocell-for-road-construction-and-sl… specification is manufacturer’s specification which is easy to read. There are no conflicting statements, although it does not include any information regarding a preconstruction meeting, design and construction requirements, maintenance, or submittals. It does not provide enough information to give adequate guidance on bidding the project and does not provide explicit information regarding risk allocation. Contractors feel difficulty to bid without further information. Hence, the risk is shared between owner and contractor. The specification does not include any specific construction methods.<br><div class="grayed-title subsection"><strong>Specification Name/Number:</strong> PRS Specification</div><strong>Reference(s):<br></strong><em>PRS Mediterranean, Inc., Israel</em>This is manufacturer’s specification which provides information about novel polymeric geocell parameters and performance as well as the relevant cell and section dimensions and shipping data. The PRS specifications resemble actual performance of a geocell composite system in the field, rather than laboratory testing of individual strips.<br>The specification is available online at:<br>http://www.prs-med.com/Download.aspx?Sel=2</p><p>The specification does not provide detailed information regarding minimum contractor qualifications, but the information provided is easy to read, logically ordered, and provides clear instructions for completing the work. There is no conflicting statement. The responsibilities of the contractor and the owner are not clearly described. Hence the risk is shared between owner and contractor. The specification requirements favor certain contractors or products. Contractors may find it difficult to create realistic bids because some information (i.e., site conditions, minimum contractor qualifications, payment, etc.) is lacking. The specification does not require overly elaborate or expensive construction methods.<br><div class="grayed-title subsection"><strong>Specification Name/Number:</strong> Presto Geosystems Specification</div><strong>Reference(s):<br></strong><em>Presto Geosystems, USA</em>This is the manufacturer’s specification. The specification includes manufacturing certification, substitutions, product certification, product limited warranty, geocell material properties, strip properties and assembly, cell and seam properties, anchors and staples, definition, references, submittals, quality assurance, delivery, storage, and handling, warranty, examination of site condition, placement and installation of construction materials, paving restrictions conditions, and measurement and payments for the work done.<br>This specification is available online at:<br>http://www.prestogeo.com/specifications</p><p>The specification is easy to read, logically ordered, and provides clear instructions for completing the work. There is no conflicting statement in the specification. Risk is appropriately shared between owner and contractor. Contractors can bid on the work without needing additional information and the specification allows substitution for proprietary products. The specification does not require overly elaborate or expensive construction methods.<br><div class="grayed-title subsection"><strong>Specification Name/Number:</strong> Tenax Tenweb specification</div><strong>Reference(s):<br></strong><em>Tenax Tenweb</em>This is manufacturer’s specification. The geocells made of polyethylene using a single continuous extrusion process have honeycomb three-dimensional monolithic structures with resistance to tensile force and ultraviolet degradation. The geocell can be transported and stocked in a very compact form and expanded at the job site like an accordion which is dimensionally stable and provides an effective confinement for loose materials placed in each single cell. The geocell must satisfy the dimensional characteristics of expanded panels and technical characteristics.<br>This specification is available online at:<br>http://www.tenax.net/pdf_geo_e/tenweb_e.pdf</p><p>The specification is easy to read.
