15 Excavation
The CONTRACTOR shall make all excavation to the lines and elevations shown
on the project drawings and as required by this specification. After excavation,
COMPANY engineer shall inspect the exposed soils. The CONTRACTOR shall
remove any soft or unsuitable materials to the satisfaction of the COMPANY
engineer. After approval by COMPANY, the CONTRACTOR shall then scarify the
exposed soil to a depth of 150 mm and compact it to at least 95 percent of
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D1557.
When the CONTRACTOR cannot compact the existing soils to the required
density, upon the approval of COMPANY, he shall place and compact a 200 mm
thick hardcore layer before placing the fill material.
The CONTRACTOR shall perform excavation in a manner which assures proper

drainage during the course of the work. The CONTRACTOR shall dewater
flooded excavations and remove all muck as directed by and approved by
COMPANY before proceeding with the work.
If the depth of the excavation exceeds 1.5 meters, the excavation sidewalls shall
be sloped or shored in order to prevent cave-ins or hazardous conditions.
Temporary slopes shall be cut back to a minimum ratio of one horizontal to one
vertical or as recommended by COMPANY engineer, whichever is flatter.
Additionally, any existing adjacent structures and footings shall be located outside
of a 2:1 projection from the base of the excavation cuts. The CONTRACTOR
shall assume full responsibility for maintaining the stability of the shoring systems
or cut slopes.
The CONTRACTOR shall assume full responsibility for safety of the personnel
and for maintaining all the excavated faces and cuts in a safe and stable condition
and in compliance with the requirements of the Geotechnical Investigation Report,
as well as the national and local laws, and regulations until final acceptance of the
work.

and shall provide support, protection, or removal of such obstructions as directed
by the COMPANY.
Tolerances for excavation, see grading tolerance section of this specification.
The CONTRACTOR shall not leave excavated materials even temporarily, where
they will interfere with other construction.

The CONTRACTOR shall route earth moving equipment so that minimum

damage is caused to the natural subsoil structure of exposed formations.
The excavated suitable materials shall be stockpiled in an orderly manner at

locations approved by COMPANY and a distance from the banks of the
excavation sufficient to avoid overloading the banks. Stockpiles containing
suitable material shall be protected from contamination with unsuitable material or
other material that may adversely affect the quality of the material and render it
unfit for use. The stockpiles shall be arranged so as not to obstruct drainage or
other construction operations in the vicinity of excavation.
All excavated materials that are unsuitable for use as fill or backfill, or are surplus
to that needed for backfilling, shall be disposed of in a safe and proper manner off
the project site.
Permanent slopes in cut area shall be 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.
16 Dewatering and Drainage

In the event of encountering high water table, CONTRACTOR shall dispose of all
water encountered in the earthwork operations so as not to damage property or
create a nuisance or health menace. The CONTRACTOR shall provide well
points, sumps, temporary ditches, culverts, trenches, drains, pumps, pipes, and
all other equipment of sufficient capacity or other means as necessary to keep the
construction area free from water until construction is completed.
Where local excavation is likely to extend below the groundwater table, measures
shall be taken to lower and maintain the groundwater table to at least 0.5 m below
the excavation level, in order to curtail active hydraulic gradient into the
excavation . Lowering of the water table shall be carried out from a level of not
less than 0.5 m below the excavation. This is to prevent loosening of the sand
below the formation level caused by seepage into the excavation. The
groundwater table shall be continuously maintained at least 0.5 m below the
excavation bottom and the formation grade until foundations are constructed and
backfilled.
If any dewatering is necessary, the CONTRACTOR shall submit the details of the
intended procedure to the COMPANY and obtain approval before commencement
of the work.
17 Fill Materials
17.1 Lean Backfill
Lean Backfill shall consist of any granular fill materials excavated from the site or
imported from outside the site provided that materials meet the requirements
