6.0 Construction method and procedure.

Preparation of Ground for the Installation of the ROW fence in marshy areas

Locations with Access

 The unclassified soil will be filled using dump trucks & excavator at
the marshy area using the available accesses.
 Then levelling & surface compaction will be carried-out at the
unclassified materials laid area.

Locations without Accesses

 The RUC 2 materials brought as much as closer to the marshy areas

using dump trucks.
 Then RUC 2 materials will be filled at the marshy area using labour &
minor equipments.
 Surface compaction will be carried-out at the RUC 2 materials laid
area.

7.0 Measurement Verification

 Measurements will be done jointly with the Engineer.

8.0 Quality Control

 Quality control will be done according to QAQC plan.
