layers of fill until the completion of fill to required grade of elevation.

1.3 COMPACTION & TESTING

A systematic and methodical compaction and testing shall be maintained during backfilling.
Following sequence of works shall be carried out under this section of earthwork.

5.1.19 Prior to compaction works the soil material to be compacted shall be tested for finding
out each optimum moisture content, relative density, CBR value etc. and sieve
analysis to qualify the soil as filling material and find out basic technical data or
conducting the compaction test of fills and backfill.
5.1.20 The approve third party inspection team of agency shall execute all routine compact
tests at site.
5.1.21 Samples shall be taken from the borrow pits and from the site, the samples shall be
identified with proper tagging before sending to approved laboratory for conducting
required tests.
