• The vertical construction joint will be provided by means of wooden stopper at 10m
to 20m interval depending on length to be taken at a time.
• Pouring will be done in layers and proper compaction will be ensured by using needle
vibrators. Electrically operated vibrators with different dia needles viz. 60mm or 40
mm will be used for compaction of poured concrete depending upon the thickness of
the layer.
Following techniques shall be used for erosion control depends upon the condition of the
area:
• Articulated concrete blocks are revetment systems that can be constructed in a wide
variety of shapes and thicknesses.
• The blocks form a grid of interconnected units used for erosion control on
embankments of waterways and manmade drainage channels.
• Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls have replaced many traditional concrete
retaining walls in recent decades.
• MSE walls offer several advantages over conventional reinforced concrete walls,
including ease and speed of installation. This system also is adaptable to a variety of
sites.
• Turbidity barriers are used to prevent soil erosion and migration of contaminants in
water. They are typically made of a geotextile membrane that floats and is anchored
to the bottom of the water body with weights.
• Sometimes turbidity barriers are used for supplemental sediment control.
5.6.4 Geotextiles
• Geotextiles are commonly used to control erosion and improve soils over which roads,
embankments, pipelines, and earth-retaining structures are built.
• Depending on the application, geotextiles may have an open mesh weave, a warp-
knitted structure, or a closed fabric or nonwoven surface.
METHOD OF STATEMENT P a g e 9 | 21
Access Road for 48” SWCC Pipeline
(Method of Statement)
• The specific type of geotextile used is based on several criteria, including separation,
filtration, drainage, reinforcement, sealing, and protection.
5.6.5 Riprap
• This method is commonly used to minimize erosion of lake shores and riverbeds
• Riprap often is installed over a synthetic geotextile membrane to prevent the soil from
moving through the riprap.
• The excavation of cutting shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant
approved drawings and to the levels, widths and heights shown thereon.
• Hauling of material from cuttings or the importation of fill material to the
embankment or other areas of fill shall proceed only when sufficient compaction plant
is operating at the place of deposition to ensure compliance with the specification
requirements.
• Any excess depth excavated below the formation level exceeding tolerance of 300mm
shall be made good by backfilling with suitable material of similar characteristic of that
removed and compacted in accordance with specifications.
