Issue Date: 18.01.16 20.02.2016 DOCUMENT NUMBER: LC3.KKIA-UN-MSM-GEN-CV-0020-B

9.1.3.1 Push the shoring down as the excavation become deeper.

9.1.3.2 Once the desired depth is attained stabilize the side slope to provide
collapse.

9.1.4 For open excavation, fix the shoring if required once the desired depth is reached.

9.1.5 Proceed with construction when the side slope has been stabilized or if needed
install the shoring.

9.1.6 After completion of work, slowly remove the shoring and proceed with backfilling
work.

9.2 The hazards posed to workers working in excavation pit and trenches are potentially fatal.
Excavation failures can, however, be largely avoided by installing an adequately designed
support system. No worker should be permitted to work in an unsupported trench if the
existing soil structure is loose. Other precautions include the avoidance of external load from
construction vehicles and excavated spoil being stockpiled too close to the trench.

9.3 The use of adequate shoring, benching and side sloping is essential to control the risk of a
collapse or failure of open excavation. Construction of shoring system should consider the
following:

 The size and strength of the component members of the shoring

 Existing and changing ground conditions
 The loads and types of ground or soil conditions to be shored
 Static loads near excavation, e.g. spoil pile, buildings and structures
 Dynamic loads near excavation, e.g. traffic and excavation equipment
 Ground vibration, e.g. heavy traffic, mobile plant, and other activities.
 Difficulties or risks that other services may pose i.e. existing or proposed underground
services
 Location of utility services
 Safety during installation and removal.

9.4 Shoring of trench excavation should be constructed and implemented strictly in accordance
with the design and contract specifications.

9.4.1 In ground composed of moderately firm to firm soil, vertical trench sides may stand
unsupported for a considerable period of time, and hence installing of shoring may
be disregarded. However, moderate side slope must be provided to make the
excavation wall stable.

9.4.2 When the ground condition is poor and has little or no “free-standing” time,
shoring/trench wall support should be installed in such a way that the trench wall
will not collapse.

9.4.3 After excavation works has been completed, proceed with next activities while
checking the integrity of shoring from time to time.

9.4.4 Where existing services crossing a trench or excavation line are encountered, timber
board support should be provided the services to prevent possible collapse or
damage.

9.4.5 After the works are completed, the support system will be extracted / dismantled in
the reverse order of its installation. Persons performing the work in the excavation
will not work outside the protection of the ground support system

10.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY

During the process of shoring and excavation works, the necessary welfare facilities shall be
provided at the project site. The workers shall be provided with safe drinking water, toilets, place to
eat their food and place to store their clothes.
Tower lights will be used during night time works and is essential for the safety of workers, the
equipment and the proper execution of work. Barriers around excavation area shall be installed.
All work related training and safety induction for this specific work shall be identified and define in this document by the contractor.
10.1 Issues

 The HSE Engineer has the responsibility for providing help advice to the supervisor who is
responsible for the work safety.
 No one shall enter an excavation unless it has been inspected and considered a safe
place to work in by immediate supervisor.
 Ensure that there is safe access to and from all excavation.
 Beware of slipping when using ladders in wet conditions.
 All employees must wear the appropriate personnel protective equipment.
 No person is allowed under loads handled by power shovels/excavators. Banks men must
be assigned to monitor the activities.
 Prior to start shoring/excavation, it must be determined whether underground utilities i.e.,
electric, telephone, sewer lines, etc. will be encountered.
 Proper slopes to be provided at sides of excavation.
 Provide protective barriers, shield systems complying with applicable standards.
 Support of shoring must be periodically checked to assure integrity of the system.

layer if preceding layer is in
accordance with the required
density, lines and grade
3 SPOILING
3.1 The Contractor shall during his
Site inspection in the tender
period, contact the employer to
obtain information regarding the
destination of unacceptable
materials and surplus materials.
These materials remain the
property of the Employer unless
the Employer transfers his
ownership to the Contractor.
3.2 Unacceptable materials and
surplus materials that are
released by the Employer, shall
become the property of the
Contractor. They shall not be
spoiled or stockpiled on site
and shall be removed off the
airport property.
3.3 The Contractor shall make his
own arrangements with other
public agencies, the
municipality or private
companies or landowners for
the spoiling of unacceptable
and surplus materials that
became his property.
3.4 The surface elevation of spoil
areas shall not extend above
the surface elevation of
adjacent areas. The spoil
material shall be placed/spoiled
and compacted to a reasonable
density as instructed by the
Engineer. All spoil areas shall
be graded to allow positive
drainage of the area itself and
of adjacent areas. If required,
the spoil area and adjacent

areas shall be put into condition
acceptable for seeding or
planting.
4 TOLERANCES
4.1 In those areas upon which any
pavement construction is to be
placed, the top of the subgrade
shall not vary from the design
levels by more than 15 mm.
The finished levels shall be
determined by taking level in a
grid of 10 by 10 percent of the
measurements exceed the
specified tolerance, but are less
than 20 mm.
4.2 In areas outside pavement
constructions the top of the
formation shall not vary from
the design levels shall be
determined by taking levels in a
grid of 20 x 20 meters or less. A
lot will be accepted for grade if
not more than 10 percent of the
measurements exceed the
specified tolerance, but are less
than 40 mm.
4.3 The size of a lot shall be
between 2,500-5,000 m2.
4.4 Any deviation in excess of the
above tolerances shall be
corrected by reshaping and
compaction of the material.

1 TRENCHING
1.1 Obtaining permit of excavation
1.2 Location and layout of area to
be excavated
1.3 Trenches may be excavated
manually or with mechanical
trenching equipment. Walls of
trenches shall be essentially
vertical so that a minimum of
surfaced is disturbed.
1.4 Graders, scrapers or bulldozers
shall not be used to excavate
the trench.
1.5 The bottom surface of trenches
shall be essentially smooth and
free from coarse aggregate.
Unless otherwise specified,
trenches shall be excavated to
a design depth for the pipe
lines. Trenches for piping and
utilities shall not be less than
400 mm nor more than 600 mm
wider than the outside diameter
of the pipe to be laid therein.
Bottoms of the trenches shall
be accurately graded with bell
holes scooped out to provide
uniform bearing and support of
pipe and utilities on undisturbed
soil throughout their entire
length except where other
means of supporting pipe are
indicated. Rock materials shall
be excavated to 150 mm below

pipe invert and bed backfilled
with fine sand and well tamped
in place.
1.6 When rock excavation is
encountered, the rock shall be
removed to a depth of at least
0.8 m below finished grade.
Rock excavation shall consist
of the removal of boulders and
detached rock ½ cubic meter in
volume or greater, and of all
rock in place in ledges or
masses which can be removed
only by the use of bars and
sledges or by blasting.
1.7 Before any rock is removed the
Engineer shall have the
opportunity to obtain the
necessary data to determine
the quantity.
1.8 The Contractor shall excavate
the trenches to a width not less
than 0.3 m.
1.9 At all times during the
construction, the trenches shall
be kept free of standing water.
1.11 Grading and elevation
conformed to drawing
1.10 Disposal of excavated material
2.0 EXCAVATION NEAR EXISTING FACILITIES
2.1 These trenches shall be
excavated manually in order to
avoid damages to existing
cables and utilities
2.2 Any damage to existing cables
