Demerit points system for contractors
1. Under the Street Works (Works on Public Streets) Regulations 1995,

Demerit points will be awarded to the contractor for defaults listed in the Schedule
(See attached). Contractors that accumulate 200 or more demerit points within a
calendar month¹ will be suspended from working on public streets.

calendar month will be penalised by a suspension.
3. The length of suspension depends on the number of suspensions the contractor already
had in the past two years². The length of the suspension is shown in the table below.
The system aims to encourage the contractor to maintain consistent good performance.
Number of suspensions in the past Period of Suspension

two years
0 3 months
1 3 months
2 6 months
3 24 months, ie , 2 years
4. All approvals of the contractors' works that have yet to begin will be revoked with
effect of suspension. However, the Authority will allow those woks that have started in
the Authority's knowledge to continue so that the contractor may complete these
works. It is therefore important for the contractor to inform the Authority of the start
of their work (see section C1).
5. If suspensions are given to the contractor while a previous suspension is still in effect,
a situation made possible by the condition in paragraph 4, the new suspensions will
run consecutively and cumulatively.
6. Any appeal made by the contractors on the demerit points issued to them must be
supported by and sent through their applicants. The waiver of demerit points and
suspension can only be approved by the Manager, Road Management, Land Transport
Authority.

e.g.; 1st January 1997 to 31st January 1997, 1st February 2000 to 29th February 2000
²Say the suspension is given to the 13 th March 2001, the period of the past 2 years will be from 13 th March 1999 to 13th March
2001. If the suspension is given in a leap year, e.g.. 29th February 2000,the period under considerations will be 1st March 1998 to 29th

weight of clay contamination, determined in accordance with BS 882:1983 Clause
5.4.
41
Section E Reinstatement - Material Specifications
E1.3.2 All foamed concentrates shall be diluted in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations and aerated using an appropriately designed foam generating
system. Foam concentrates and diluted solutions shall be stored according to the
manufacturer's recommendations and used within the recommended shelf life.

testing, all accelerators, plasticisers, water reducing agents and other admixtures shall
be used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
E1.3.4 Foamed Concrete mixes shall be prepared using a ready -mixed base mortar
delivered to site, and in accordance with a mix formulation proven by prior
development testing.
E1.3.5 A minimum density of 1050kg/m³ is required. Plastic sheeting, etc., shall be provided
to protect the existing utility apparatus so that foamed concrete is prevented from
flowing into and blocking any damaged apparatus that exist within, or are
immediately adjacent to the excavation.
E1.3.6 Reinstatement of the surface layers shall not be carried out until the foamed concrete
has attained sufficient strength to allow compaction of the asphalt materials.
E1.4 Ready - mix Flowable Fill
E1.4.1 Ready-mix flowable fill is a mixture of Portland cement, aggregates, water and
mineral admixtures. Flowable fill has a cementitious content that is lower than that of
Portland cement, and has a reduced strength development for easy removal.
Chemical admixtures may also be used to modify the fill's performance properties in
strength, flow, set and permeability.
E1.4.2 The mix shall be prepared using a ready-mix base mortar delivered to site. Mineral
admixtures shall be pozzolanic materials used in standard ready-mix concrete
production.
