0 SCOPE OF WORK

Following activities will be carried-out in the soil back-filling process.

• De-watering the excavated pit (If necessary)

• Soil Backfilling
• Manual Leveling
• Soil Compaction (Watering If required)
• Import Soil (if necessary)
• Final leveling for lean concrete
• Anti-termite Treatment (for above water table)

6.0 WORK PROCEDURE

 Clearing of excavated area

• Removal of unsuitable material (e.g. particles in excess of 75mm ,peat, organic

materials and perishable materials and so on)

 The backfill will consist of several horizontal layers not exceeding a thickness of
150mm.

 Each layer will initially be backfilled by excavators and then manually leveled by
site workers.

 This will then allow for the compaction (both in the x and y direction). Depending
on the site condition either allow for the 1 ton roller, plate vibrator and/or rammer
to be used.

 During compaction water could be applied if necessary.

  Once this step is complete, the above soil layers are done in the same way.

7.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE / INSPECTIONS

The following points will be carried out to ensure the quality of backfill.
 Continuous monitoring shall be carried out to ensure the ground water table is
below from the level of excavation.
 The Sand cone test & Standard Proctor Compaction Test will be carried out to
measure the degree of compaction of the layer according to the below location table.
 Initially sand cone test will be carried out for one compacted layer of backfill
material with the rammer. Along with the results of Standard Proctor Compaction
Test, this will enable the required compaction to achieve the needed degree of
compaction. Based on above results, similar compaction level will be followed to
the following backfilling layers.
 A California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test will be carried out on the request of the
consultant
 Required final level will be checked according to the detail drawings and with
referring to TBM.
 Anti-termite Treatment shall be done with the guidance of the specialized
contractor, Separate method statement will be provided.
 Types of Backfilling (control & uncontrol) in site relevant locations given below,

 8.0 SAFETY PLAN

 All dangerous areas must be barricaded

 Safe plat-forms for working at higher levels shall be placed and secured.
 Safety Guard rails shall be provided along the perimeter.
 All the electrical wires and sockets are placed in such a way that it will be covered
so that it will conform to safety regulations.
 First aid facilities and vehicles for emergency cases shall be available at site.
 Refer the Sanken Lanka Safety Manual for other safety precaution and regulations.
