1. General
This work shall consist of
a) Supplying; laying and compacting approved shoulder material on prepared surface
or on constructed embankment on either side of the pavement.
b) Scarifying, trimming, Shaping and compacting the existing shoulder where specified
in the construction drawings or as instructed by the engineer.
c) Construction of cross shoulder drains under the shoulder.

Shoulders shall be to the depths and widths as specified and as shown on the
drawings.

5. Sequence of shoulder construction.

Step1 –Setting out


The limits and levels of outer edge of the designed soft shoulder at every 20m
interval (lesser interval at the curves) shown in the construction drawings shall
be marked by fixing timber pegs. The height to be filled shall be demarcated by
stretching a sting line between pegs.

Step 2 –Ground preparation


3 of 5
The areas of road widening by excavation or embankment construction, ground
preparation for shoulder construction is not required, otherwise the subgrade
shall be prepared and compact to achieve more than 95% of the maximum dry
density of the material as determined by the modified compaction test (BS 1377
test 13 or AASHTO T-180). The existing shoulder shall be trimmed, leveled and
shaped and compact to level shown in the cross sections. The trimming leveling
and shaping shall be carried out manually in small section and by motor grader
in large sections. Excavated soil shall be removed from the site to disposal yards
using backhoe loader and dump trucks or farm tractors. The leveled surface or
existing shoulder shall be compacted using rammers or 01 ton rollers to suit the
site requirements. The outer edge of the carriageway shall be trimmed vertically
depends on the width of the road. The trimmed material shall be collected and
loaded manually and removed using tractors. The water logging shall be
prevented by introducing drains in prepared sections.

Step 3 – Re grading and re gravelling of existing Shoulder

In areas designated by the Engineer for re grading and re gravelling, the existing
shoulder shall be scarified, trimmed and shaped with motor grader or manually,
if required additional shoulder material shall be added to get required level and
top surface shall be compacted with 8 tone roller.

Step 4 –Placing and Compaction of shoulder material


The shoulder material from approved borrow pits shall be excavated and stock
piled before transport to site. Material shall be transported from stock pile to
site using dump trucks. Material shall be spread by manually. In layers not
exceeding 225mm.Where the shoulder is built up of more than one layer, the
layer to follow shall be placed only after the degree of compaction of the
previous layer has been tested and found satisfactory. If required, material shall
be sufficiently wetted or dry up and compacted at or near the Optimum
Moisture Content (OMC). The material shall be compacted by using a vibrating
smooth wheeled 05 ton roller / 01 ton roller or rammer. The shoulder material
shall be compacted to a density not less than 95% of the maximum dry density
MS/009

of the material as determined by the modified compaction test (BS 1377 test 13
or AASHTO T-180). The field density test shall be carried out of frequency of
one test per every 200m3 or at least two tests for the section compacted in each
day.
Step 5 –Construction of cross shoulder drains.

After construction of shoulder, trench shall be excavated manually across the


shoulder to the dimensions and the locations given in the drawing or as directed
by the Engineer. The porous material shall be filled and compacted in trenches
wrapped in geotextile on all four side and both ends. The remaining of the
excavation shall be topped off with compacted earthen shoulder material as
indicated in drawings or as directed by the Engineer.

6. Supervision

Position Responsibilities
Site Engineer Perform the shoulder construction on the basis of method
statement, specification and drawings.
Technical Officer All setting out works in accordance with Method

Engineer shall perform to issue NCR through the QAM and he shall prepare
for the CAR/PAR.

8. Traffic Control

Two flagmen shall be assigned on either side of the working area, not to
disturb the traffic flow specially after commenced the shoulder construction on
other side of the road.

9. Safety Provision

Warning signs shall be displayed in advance as well as in working area. Traffic


cones shall be placed along the working area. Safety briefing for drivers on
defensive driving. .
