damp sand pits, or temporary buildings as long as the temperature adjacent to
the specimens can be maintained between 15.6C and 26.7C and loss of
moisture from the specimens can be prevented.

Each set of specimens should be accompanied by the data recorded at the
time of making the specimens.
5.5.4. If it is impossible to ship the specimens at the age of one (1) day, it should be
stored in thoroughly damp sand at the end of the initial 24 hour period, and
shall be maintained in a moist condition at 21C - 24.5C until shipment is
made. The specimens shall be shipped as soon as possible and at least
several days before the seven (7) days period is up, as the laboratory must
have the specimens a day or so before the seven (7) days test.
5.5.5. The Contractor shall provide a shed and an insulated locked box of sufficient
size to store equipment and specimens at the site, and whatever labour is
required in the preparation of specimens.
5.6. Testing

specified strength, the Engineer will notify the Contractor in writing. Additional
curing as specified by the Engineer may be required and modifications may be
required in the concrete mix design for the remaining concrete work; or the
concrete may be required to be removed and replaced; in either case at the

If soil property is such as to make it impossible to obtain the minimum CBR required
by the project, the unsuitable soil shall be removed upon written notice from the
Engineer.
The removal and disposal of unsuitable soil in earth cuts shall be classified as
common excavation. At the subgrade level, the Contractor shall fill the holes caused
from removal of stumps, roots and boulders with suitable and approved fill material.

Owner.
When a subgrade shall fall on fill areas, the following procedures must be strictly
observed:
- Prior to filling, the area shall be compacted and rolled in accordance with the
requirements and/or satisfaction of the Engineer.
- The approved backfill material shall be spread evenly to a maximum thickness of
300mm per layer with a road grader and rolled continuously. The required travel
rate of the road roller will be at 5km/hr and this speed shall be maintained
throughout until completed. During compaction or rolling, the desired soil moisture
content must be carefully controlled. The passes shall be six (6) times minimum to
eight (8) times maximum and/or as determined by the Engineer.
