The NYS Department of Transportation is implementing Trns•port SiteManager, including both Construction and Materials functionality. Implementation of standard AASHTO software enables SiteManager to allow revising this agency’s practices to be more consistent with industry-accepted best practices. The revisions to the Standard Specifications are to minimize the overall quantity of special specifications.
To maintain consistency with the wall categories presented in the Highway Design Manual Chapter 9 Table 9-6 Classification of Retaining Wall Systems, the title of the Section was changed to the more expansive topic “Externally Stabilized Cut Structures”.
To minimize the quantity of special specifications, as emphasized by SiteManager, the soldier pile and lagging specification has been incorporated into the Standard Specifications.
