METHOD OF INVESTIGATION Clause Samples

The "Method of Investigation" clause defines the procedures and standards to be followed when examining or verifying facts, events, or compliance under an agreement. Typically, this clause outlines who may conduct investigations, the scope of permissible inquiries, and the methods or tools that can be used, such as site visits, document reviews, or interviews. By establishing a clear process for investigations, the clause ensures transparency and consistency, helping to resolve disputes or verify obligations efficiently.
METHOD OF INVESTIGATION. All soundings are made according to the Standard South Dakota Subsurface Investigation Techniques and AASHTO Specifications. Auger holes are drilled with a 4-1/2 inch continuous flight auger. Penetration and Push Test holes are drilled with a 6-5/8 inch continuous hollow stem auger. Push core samples are obtained by hydraulically ramming a 2 foot long lined split spoon sampler into the soil to obtain 2 inch nominal diameter soil samples. Penetration tests are conducted by dropping a 140 pound hammer 30 inches to obtain 2 inch nominal diameter samples and to measure the resistance to penetration of the soil. Corings with the SDDOT drive rig are performed by using a California retractable plug sampler, which is driven with a 490 pound hammer. The drill stem is P.K. rod, which is 2-7/8 inch O.D., and 2 inch nominal diameter cores are obtained. All laboratory tests are performed in accordance with standard AASHTO or SDDOT laboratory procedures. Abutments:
