Encroachment permit shall be obtained first prior to start of activities on site. Once the
area is located and staking has been completed, hard barricades, jersey barriers and
safety poles will be installed to establish the perimeter of the work area to prevent and
protect the public from entering the worksite. The safety personnel shall coordinate
with the construction supervisor for the entry and positioning of heavy equipment,
establish danger zones and installation of warning signs. Prior to demolition and
excavation using JCB equipment and backhoe. Once the construction activities start
(removal of existing concrete culverts and disposing of removed materials and heavy
equipment set up, etc.) this isolation method shall be strongly employed throughout
the duration of the project.

Work Methodology
 Listed below is the activity in sequence of repair and replacement of road
asphalt

1. Encroachment and Works Permits shall be prepared. A flagman shall be

provided to guide moving equipment during construction activities.
2. Barricading the working area and install traffic sign and warning sign to
protect the public and approaching vehicles.
3. Once the site has been prepared, layout and road cutting will commence. A
cable detector will be used to determine the presence of underground utilities.
4. Commence manual excavation if underground cables or underground
infrastructure are present in the area. Temporary support and warning signs
will be installed. Breaking the existing road asphalt using JCB breaker, then
commence excavation using a JCB excavator to complete the works. A
spotter will be assigned to supervise equipment and care should be taken at
all times during equipment excavation.
5. Commence sub-grade preparation by doing watering and compaction using
plate compactor in order to meet the minimum required compaction density
which is 95%. Once the sub-grade has passed the compaction test then we
proceed with the next activity.
6. The granular base course shall be placed in two layers of equal thickness
and compacted to not less than 100% of maximum dry density. It shall be
sprayed with prime coating bituminous black coat . The vertical edges of the
existing asphalt concrete base course shall be hand brushed with tack coat.
7. The asphalt concrete base course shall be placed on the primed granular
base course and compacted to the specified density and smoothness.
8. The surface of the vertical edges of the existing asphalt concrete wearing
courses shall be hand brushed with tack coat.
9. The surface of the new asphalt concrete base course shall be sprayed with
tack coat.

10. The asphalt concrete wearing surface shall then be placed and compacted to
the specified density and smoothness.
11. The new wearing surface shall have the same texture and smoothness as the
existing surface. It shall be even with the existing surface and the elevation
over the center line of the trench shall be 5mm higher than the original
pavement.
12. The site shall be cleaned and excess material shall be disposed of a
designated area by the Royal Commission.
13. Road shall be restored back to the original condition.

 Backfilling and Compaction

1. Backfilling shall not commence until work has been inspected, tested and
approved by the Royal Commission.
2. Excavated materials shall be tested and approved by the Royal Commission
prior to use as backfill.
3. Field tests shall be carried out by an independent testing laboratory to
confirm compliance with the specifications.
4. Follow-up inspections for settlement shall be required. Should settlement
occur, the Contractor shall be responsible for the necessary repair to restore
the area to its original condition.

 Site Cleaning

1. All surplus excavated material remaining after the backfilling operation shall
be removed from work site by the Contractor and disposed of as directed by
the Royal Commission.
2. The work site shall at all the times be kept neat, clean and free of waste
material or rubbish.
3. Following completion of all construction, the work site shall be cleaned of all
debris and leftover materials from excavation and construction operations.
