Earthworks – Excavation – Cut in different type of soil.
Once the land clearing work is finished, the excavation
works will begin, adjusting to the alignments, slopes,
dimensions or other information indicated in the plans
of the project or those indicated by Client’s project
director.
This item describes the execution of the excavation of rock soil, including details of the supply of labor,
materials and equipment necessary for the removal, loading and transportation to the assigned
stockpile area
Excavation will be done on the correct lines and levels in all types of soil. This will
include, when necessary, adequate shoring to keep the excavations safe, as well as the
supply, assembly and maintenance of adequate barricades around the excavated areas
and warning signs necessary to ensure the safety of personnel.
All excavation work will be done using mechanical equipment, in the opinion of the
client or for reasons of the land, the work must be done manually.
The methodology to be followed is using excavator with hammer because for works
executed previously at project the type of soil is rock.
All cutting material result of excavation process will be loaded and transport with truck
up to 1.5 @ 3km approximately from the cut site. The Volume material will be
measured during the cut process or by the topography team. If the excavated material
is suitable for use in the filling process, it will be used, but it is denoted that a soil
analysis should be performed, paying attention to the CBR of the soil that must at least
be above 80.

Any material not suitable for filling will be discarded and disposed of in previously
established places, replacing it with a suitable material, which will be taken from
existing loan mines in nearby places.
The fill will be placed in uniform layers to the depth determined for the
corresponding cross section, using the materials from the loan areas approved for
the project and / or material product of the excavations realized. The filling material
will be placed in uniform layers that do not exceed 30 cm thick once.
The spreading process for filling material will be done in a way that does not
produce segregation and that provides uniform layers without cavities or variation
of textures do not exceed 30 cm in thickness once compacted. The compaction
will be carried out with several vibrating rollers, according to the type of material
and thickness specified, using Dinapac CA 25 10 Ton vibrating rollers, for
compaction in clay soil and rollers type Cat 815F, as well as we will use manual
rollers or roller of 3 ton in ditches for laying cable.
It is not allowed to fill with rocky materials in the areas where the installation of
photovoltaic structure is planned. We are considering to do random compaction
tests in different areas; to ensure the level of density and stability required for the
project. Compaction with parameter of 90@95% in the proctor / density analysis
must be done. If necessary, water will be added or removed, to obtain the
optimum humidity required.
During the construction stage, is considered using water truck tank to dust
controls. Soil humidification service with will be done with 2 trucks water tanks in
uninterrupted work periods.

Formwork
Corner guards will be placed to have a better finish of the bases and to protect the
corners of them. To form the formwork the molds of the structure will be prepared
according to dimensions established in the drawings. One or more timber will be
placed transverse to the formwork (if necessary) to avoid possible lateral collapse
of the formwork.
This formwork must be staked to avoid losses of concrete and kneading water; also
rigid as a whole so that they do not suffer deformations during concreting for
which they will be conveniently propped up on both axes.
Once the transversal wood fixation is finished, it will be verified that they are
aligned. Then the struts will be fixed on the edges and on the top of the block (if
necessary) to avoid finishing with corners that can affect the completion of the
concrete.
Once the assembly is finished, the necessary alignment checks, dimensions and
dimensions will be made to guarantee the verticality of the formwork itself, which
will be controlled with a bubble level by the surveying staff. The uniformity of the
top base finish will be checked at the engineer level.
SERVINCA will provide the Labor, Equipment, Materials and tools necessary for the
construction of the concrete works required for the project, as identified in the
conceptual design and to be confirmed with the Approved issued for Construction
drawings and Project specifications.
1. The cutting bars must be made cold, always with the bars at right angles to the
longitudinal axis of the bars, with the steel bars perfectly straightened and
according to the lengths indicated in the drawings.
2. All reinforcement must be cold bent, unless the structural engineer allows
otherwise, and no reinforcement must be bent if it is partially embedded in the
concrete, except when indicated in the design drawings or allowed by the
calculator. However, the conditions of the work may make
it necessary to bend bars that are embedded in the concrete, in which case the
engineer must determine if the bars can be bent cold or if it is necessary to heat
them. The folds should be gradual and should be straightened as required.
The bending will be made at the construction site and the diameter of the bending
must be adequate to avoid breaking the rod, for such cases the following
recommendations will following:
Regardless of the bending tolerances, all parts of the rods must have the specified
coating.
If the reinforcement is to be folded on site, the diameter of the pin from
which the steel bends should not be smaller than the size recommended in
the ACI 318 standard.
It is not allowed to bend the steel so that it can weaken the material.
The reinforcement is heated to bend it only when approved by the
designer, as heating can change the characteristics of the steel. For the
project we consider the folds, hooks and anchors of cold rods and
according to what is specified in Table 3.
During the concrete placement, manual vibrators will be used to assure
the good adherence between concrete and steel, when required,
diminishing the possibility of empty spaces that could affect the desired
resistance.
3. The splices or overlaps of parallel rods, subjected to tensile stresses and in the
same structural element, should be alternated as long as this is possible.
Overlap in more than 33% of the reinforcement in the same section is not
allowed. For electro-welded meshes, a minimum overlap length of 50 cm should
be used for the main wires.
Reinforcement installation
Due do the complexity and importance of this activity, it is recommended assembly and
installation of the reinforcement, or the assembly of prefabricated elements such as steel meshes,
be made exclusively by first-class operators, directed by their foremen and work supervisor,
according to the complication or demands that the work imposes, since their knowledge and
experience in the trade qualifies them to faithfully interpret the specifications, symbology and
indications of the project plans.
It should be clear that the assistants can only support the operators in the transport of the
material, pass the tools, collaborate with the assembly helping to support the elements, install the
wire ties, help install the mechanical connections if they exist and, if applicable, place the
formwork separators for the concrete.
The reinforcements must be installed sufficiently firm, level, plumb, well tied and with the correct
inclination in the case of sloping elements, so that they remain in place during the emptying and
vibrating of the concrete, which is in its plastic state and therefore it exerts vertical and horizontal
forces typical of fresh concrete, and retain the thicknesses of specified coatings. To this end,
spacers (wedges) are conveniently spaced apart, and of one dimension according to the thickness
of the coating.
The reinforcement is placed at a minimum distance from the concrete surface (margin) to avoid
buckling under certain conditions of compression loads, avoid collapsing when exposed to the
weather, or loss of resistance when exposed to fire.
In standard ACI 301, ACI 318 and ACI 345, typical depths recommended for coating are given. This
coating should be at least as thick as shown in the project specifications. The reinforcement must
be properly spaced, spliced, firmly tied in position to give the required margin for all concrete
surfaces
