CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY

Box Culvert is a reinforced concrete structure used as drainage under the roadwork. In other
words, it is a small structure of less than 6m span between faces of abutments.
It is a rigid frame structure and simple in construction. Therefore, it is Suitable for non-
perennial streams where scrub depth is not significant but the soil is weak. However, due to
the strength of the concrete floor, water direction can be changed when a large amount of
water is expected.
The scope of work shall consist of furnishing and providing plain and reinforced concrete placed
into a required shape as per drawing.

1. Centerline Fixing

Firstly, the place where the culvert exists shall be located and the centerline shall be marked
with the help of Total station or electronic theodolite. Trenches shall be kept free from water
until pipes are laid and joints are hardened.

The located culvert must be either perpendicular or with some skew to the road alignment
according to the direction of the flow. For example, 30 degrees to the road alignment.

2. Setting Out

Reference points have to fix on both sides of the culvert in both traffic and normal to the
direction.

Temporary benchmark shall be located near the culvert. After that, it should be checked
regularly w.r.t to the permanent benchmark.

The limits of excavation shall be marked on the original ground to the line and length as per
drawing.

3. Original Ground Levels

The original ground level (hereinafter called the “OGL”) shall be taken on the centerline and
either side of the centerline of the culvert location to the required width and length as per the
drawing. However, the number of rows to be taken is depending on the width of the culvert.

OGL’s shall be taken throughout the length of the culvert including a flexible apron.

The length of the culvert varies from the culvert-to-culvert depending on proposed road levels
and bed levels of the channels.

state of Punjab (Pkg-Spur-I)

4. Excavation

Most importantly, before staring of excavation, proper barricading along with reflective
marking with cautionary signboards shall be provided.

Dumpers or tippers will help in loading excavated material by removing with help of an
excavator. The excavated portion shall be cleaned off if any slush, and it should be dressed
properly.

5. Sand Filling

Fine to coarse sand shall be laid to the required length, width and thickness. However, the sand
should be compacted properly with plate vibrators.

6. Levelling Course

The shuttering shall be thoroughly cleaned, aligned and marked to the required thickness. The
transit mixer will transport concrete mix from batching plant to the site. After that, It shall be
laid on the wet sand and compacted properly with plate vibrators.

7. Abutment Footings/Raft

The inert levels must be kept below the original ground level by at least 300mm. Skin
reinforcement shall be tied with reference to the centerline of the culvert and shuttering is
placed with a proper cover to the skin reinforcement.

The bars will be connected together using binding wire at every intersection to make the
skeleton of the reinforcement rigid and prevent the reinforcement from movement during
concrete pouring.

The required thickness of the shutter plates will be lubricated aligned. The gap between the
shutters has to fill properly. After that, the Concrete mix shall be laid layer by layer and
compacted properly with needle vibrators. Construction joints will be maintained as desired by
providing a groove throughout the length of the wall.

Proper care shall be taken while placing concrete in a skew portion of the second lift to not
develop any honeycombs. De-shuttering should be done once the concrete has been
thoroughly set, and curing should require at least 14 days.

8. Abutment Walls/Side Walls

The alignment of shuttering has to place properly. Further, Additional supports shall be given
to skew a portion of abutment walls. Proper cover shall be maintained to the skin
reinforcement.

Weep holes shall be provided at an interval of 1m c/c.

After completing all arrangements, concrete mix shall be places layer by layer without
disturbing the weep holes with proper compaction by using needle vibrators. Therefore, the
same method shall be followed for further lifts.

Construction joints shall be as per clause 1710 of MORT&H specification. The vertical surface
will be well cured by covering it with gunny cloth/bag.

9. Dirt Wall

While constructing a dirt wall proper slope shall be maintained and top levels shall be fixed.
After that, the designed concrete mix shall be laid with proper compaction.

10. Bed Block

Reinforcement shall be tied and slope should be maintained by providing steps at a uniform
distance. Shutter plates shall be arranged properly and marking shall be done to the required
depth. After that, the designed concrete mix shall be laid with proper compaction.

11. Top Slab

By fixing the bottom level of the top slab, bottom shutters of the top slab to be placed on
designed vertical posts and gaps between shutters shall be packed carefully.

Care shall be taken while placing the formwork in position to withstand the lateral loads coming
onto the top slab.

After fixing the reinforcement in position, concrete of specified grade shall be laid to the
required thickness with proper vibration. Proper care shall be taken while placing the concrete
to not develop any horizontal or vertical joints.

Curing shall be done for 14 days by providing hessian cloth as per clause 1731 of MORT&H
specification for foundation and substructure.

Moreover, the Date of casting shall be noted on each lift to monitor the curing.

12. Wing / Return Wall

The work may be started along with the construction of the vent or individually depending upon
the site condition. The same procedure shall be followed for excavation, sand filling and
levelling coarse like as vent for both wings and returns to the required line and level.

Approved concrete of specified grades shall be laid for levelling coarse and further lifts. Proper
care shall be taken while pouring and vibrating the concrete in the skew portion.

13. Expansion Joints

Expansion joints of specified thickness shall be maintained in between return/wing wall and
abutment walls and placed at the periphery of the cross-section at the proposed centerline
(PCL).

14. Backfilling & Filter Media

Filter media should be laid behind the return/wing walls as per specification. For backfilling,
selected material should be laid behind the abutment walls to the top of the embankment as
per specifications and it should be compacted properly.

15. Approach Slab

The purpose of the approach slab is to lower the overall settlements of the embankment soil
beneath it and the rear wall.

If it is not provided, the soil right behind the rear wall will usually settle, causing a cavity-
bump, which may result in an additional impact load being applied to the junction when the
approaching vehicle rides from the embankment to the top slab. The minimum length of the
approach slab shall be 3.5m and 300mm thickness throughout the width of the road.

16. Parapet

A parapet is a dwarf wall built around the edge of a roof, balcony, terrace, or stairwell to
prevent people from falling over or to protect them from outside attack. All finished work
corners must be true, precise, and smoothly cut, and free from cracks, spalls, or other
irregularities.

2) Coarse and fine aggregate
3) Water
4) Admixture
5) Fly Ash

1. Cement
 The cement shall be Ordinary Portland cement of 53 Grade conforming to IS 269
Codes respectively and shall meet all physical and chemical requirements as
specified.
 The cement for the works will be procured in bulk forms, MTC shall be obtained for
all batches / consignment received at site. Routine test like setting time and
compressive strength test shall also be conducted at site laboratory for each batch
