be installed. Each joint of the carrier pipe shall be supported at two points
by steel saddles or by pressure treated wood skids, strapped to the carrier
pipe with steel straps. The carrier pipe shall be blocked, in place, to

forces to permit construction in a dry trench.
D. The Contractor shall construct the crossings as indicated and shall then remove the
cofferdam, bulkhead, or whatever equipment or material that was used to construct
the crossing. The bottom of the river in the construction area shall be restored to
its original cross section. All disturbed areas on the banks of the river shall be
