presence of Engineer.

• The side slopes of cuttings and embankments shall be as per the approved drawings.

18
 E. EXCAVATION GENERAL
Removal of Unsuitable Material and Soft Spots

If during the progress of the work the soil encountered has characteristics, as determined by tests
conducted under the direction of the Engineer, that render it unsuitable for incorporation in the
road embankment, the Contractor shall excavate and remove such unsuitable material to the
extent directed by the Engineer.

Where Contractor finds isolated soft spots during excavation, this material shall be removed to
the extent directed by the Engineer.

No excavated suitable material shall be removed from the site without the approval of the
Engineer. Should the Contractor permitted to remove suitable material to suit his operational
procedure then he shall make good any consequent deficit of fill material arising there from.

Where the excavation reveals a combination of suitable and unsuitable material the excavation
shall, unless otherwise agreed with the Engineer, shall be carried out in such manner that the
suitable materials area excavated separately for use in the works without contamination by the
unsuitable material.

The hauling of excavated material to areas of fill shall proceed only when sufficient spreading
and compacting plant/equipment are operating at the place of deposition to ensure placing and
compaction.

Unsuitable excavated material shall be removed and carted away to an approved area after
approved by the Engineer.

Excavating High Level Areas

The Contractor shall excavate high level areas in all materials including rock for the full width of
the road construction down to the top of the required sub grade.

F. ROCK EXCAVATION

• Excavation in rock may be carried out by a tracked bulldozer and ripper or by the use of
blasting with explosives or any other method approved by the Engineer.

• After it has been established that the excavated material is rock and after the area where
such rock exists has been defined, the Contractor shall incorporate the rock in the
embankment.

19
G. EXCAVATION FOR PITS AND TRENCHES

• All trenches and pits under roads shall, where possible, be excavated, backfilled and
compacted before road construction commences.
• The sides of the excavation shall be adequately supported all times.
• Trenches and pits shall be kept free of water.
• Trenches for pipes or ducts shall be excavated to the levels and gradients indicated in the
contract documents.

H. FILLING GENERAL

• Filling low-level areas shall be to the level of sub grade as designated. After completion
of clearing and grubbing, the Contractor shall carry out the necessary leveling in order to
control the thickness of the layers of fill.

• The existing natural ground shall be scarified in place to a minimum depth of 75mm for
the full width of the embankment. The scarified material shall be leveled and compacted
to a minimum of 95% maximum dry density.

• Where an existing embankment is being widened, the existing embankment slope shall
be trimmed and compacted into benches of minimum width 1m and depth
500mm before placing and compacting each layer of new embankment material unless
otherwise directed by the Engineer to suit particular circumstances.

• The Contractor shall not proceed with filling and compaction any subsequent layer before
testing and securing the approval of the Engineer for the previous layer.

• Each fill thickness shall not exceed 300mm.

I. FORMING OF EMBANKMENTS AND OTHER AREAS OF FILL

• In areas of shallow filling, where after the removal of top soil, before embankment
construction is compacted, the surfaced of the ground shall be graded and compacted.

• Embankments and other areas of fill shall be formed of suitable material.

• All earthworks material placed in or below embankments, below formation level in

cuttings or elsewhere in the works shall be deposited and compacted as soon as
practicable after excavation in layers of thickness not exceeding 250mm.

20
• Embankments shall be built up evenly over the full width unless otherwise indicated
and shall be maintained at all times with a sufficient camber and a surface sufficiently
even to enable surface water to drain readily from them. During the construction of
embankments, construction traffic or water erosion shall be made good.

• Compaction of embankments and other areas of fill shall be undertaken to the

requirements of specifications. The embankments shall be constructed to sufficient width
to permit adequate compaction at the edges before trimming back.

J. PLACING & COMPACTION OF EMBANKMENTS & OTHER FILLS

• Earth fill on the embankments shall be spread so as to produce uniform distribution and
gradation of the earth fill throughout.

• Cluster of rock, which would interfere with proper compaction, will not be permitted. The
earth fill shall be placed in continuous, approximately horizontal layers over the length
being constructed for the full width of the embankment.

• Material which has been compacted to a dry density less than required or at a moisture
content outside the tolerable range shall be removed or reworked and re-compacted until
the required properties are achieved.
