PART 3 EXECUTION 3.1 A. EXCAVATION Excavate all material of whatever nature encountered to the lines and grades as shown. 1. Excavation includes removal and disposal of pavements and other obstructions on ground surface, underground structures and utilities indicated to be demolished and removed, and all other materials encountered. Unauthorized excavation consists of removal of materials beyond indicated subgrade elevations or dimensions without specific direction of MARAFIQ. Unauthorized excavation shall be at Contractor's expense. (a) Under footings, foundation bases, or retaining walls, fill unauthorized excavation by extending the indicated bottom elevation of the footing or base to the excavation bottom, without altering required top elevation. Elsewhere, backfill and compact unauthorized excavations as specified for authorized excavations unless otherwise directed by MARAFIQ.

2.

(b)

P.O. Number : 7200018725

B.

Additional Excavation: When excavation has reached required subgrade elevations, MARAFIQ will make an inspection of conditions. 1. If unsuitable bearing materials are encountered at the required subgrade elevations, carry excavations deeper (300 mm) and replace the excavated material with specified subbase materials as directed by MARAFIQ. In areas of unsuitable material where over excavating to 300 mm does not remove the unsuitable bearing material, excavate down as required and construct a "working platform" using specified subbase materials for 300 mm in depth then use rockfill material. Bring rockfill to 300 mm below the finished subgrade shown on the drawings in layers not exceeding 200 mm in depth. Continue backfilling to subgrade elevation or to final grade elevation using specified backfill material shown on drawings or as directed by MARAFIQ.

2.

C.

Stability of Excavations: Slope sides of excavations to the natural angle of repose for material in dry state. Shore and brace where sloping is not possible because of space restrictions or stability of material excavated. Maintain sides and slopes of excavations in a safe condition until completion of backfilling. Shoring and Bracing: Provide materials for shoring and bracing, such as sheet piling, uprights, stringers, and cross-braces, in good serviceable condition. 1. Establish requirements for trench shoring and bracing to comply with safe operating procedures. Maintain shoring and bracing in excavations. Carry down shoring and bracing as excavation progresses. (a) Provide permanent steel sheet piling or pressure creosoted timber sheet piling wherever subsequent removal of sheet piling might permit lateral movement of soil under adjacent structures. Steel sheet piling intended to be left in place shall required cathodic protection. Cut off tops at (400 mm) below final grade and leave permanently in place.

D.

(b)

3.

Contractor must insure that the bracing sheet piling, sheeting and shoring operation does not have any adverse effect on existing adjacent pipelines, structures and facilities. As a part of the operation, Contractor must measure particle velocity and acceleration produced by sheet piling installation at locations

P.O. Number : 7200018725

determined by MARAFIQ. All particle velocity and acceleration must not exceed critical limits as recommended by the pipeline manufacturer. E. Dewatering: Prevent surface water and subsurface or ground water from flowing into excavations and from flooding project site and surrounding area. 1. Do not allow water to accumulate in excavations. Remove water to prevent softening of foundation bottoms, undercutting footings, and soil changes detrimental to stability of subgrades and foundations. Provide and maintain pumps, well points, sumps, suction and discharge lines, and other dewatering system components necessary to convey water away from excavations. Convey water removed from excavations and rain water to collecting or run-off area. Establish and maintain temporary drainage ditches and other diversions outside excavation limits for each structure. Do not use trench excavations as temporary drainage ditches.

2.

F.

Material Storage: Stockpile suitable excavated materials until required for backfill or fill. 1. 2. Locate and retain soil materials away from edge of excavations. Dispose of excess soil materials and waste materials.

G.

Excavation for Structures: Conform to elevations and dimensions shown within a tolerance of plus or minus 30 mm, and extending a sufficient distance from footings and foundations to permit placing and removal of concrete formwork, installation of services, other construction, and for inspection. 1. In excavating for footings and foundations, take care not to disturb bottom of excavation. Trim bottoms to required lines and grades to leave solid base to receive concrete. In the event unsuitable bearing materials are encountered, follow the over excavation and fill directions in paragraph 3.1.B or as instructed by MARAFIQ.

2.

H.

Excavation for Trenches: Dig trenches to the uniform width shown for the particular item to be installed. Excavate trenches to the indicated width at all points below a horizontal plane 200 mm above the top of pipe. Excavation above this plane may exceed the indicated width if approved by MARAFIQ. Where width is not indicated, make the width not less than 150 mm or more than 450 mm from the outside of the pipe. If excavation exceeds the permissible dimensions, install a higher

P.O. Number : 7200018725

strength pipe or encase pipe in concrete as determined by MARAFIQ and at no cost to MARAFIQ. 1. Excavate trenches to the width and depth required and establish the indicated invert elevations. Where rock is encountered, carry the excavation 150 mm below the required elevation and backfill with 150 mm layer of approved crushed stone or gravel prior to installing pipe. Grade bottoms of pipe trenches as indicated, notching under pipe bells to provide solid bearing for the entire body of the pipe.

3.2 A.

COMPACTION General: Control soil compaction during construction providing maximum percentage of density specified for each area classification. Control the moisture content of soils so that at the time of compacting the moisture content is within 2% above or below the optimum as determined by ASTM D1557, Method D. Percentage of Maximum Density Requirements: Compact soil to not less than the following percentages of maximum dry density or relative density determined in accordance with ASTM D1557, Method D, or ASTM D2049. 1. Structures: Compact top 300 mm of subgrade and each layer of backfill or fill material to 95% maximum dry density or 75% relative density. Under Pavements and Shoulders: Compact each 200 mm loose layer of base course fill and each layer of subgrade fill to 100% maximum dry density or 78% minimum relative density. Cut Areas and Natural Ground (Where construction is to be accomplished): Scarify and compact the top 150 mm of cutroadway to 95% dry maximum density or 75% minimum relative density. Rough Grading (Where no construction is to be accomplished): In cut and natural ground areas compact the top 150 mm of earth to 90% maximum dry density or 70% minimum relative density. Specific Type of Fill/Backfill Materials: Percentage requirements for field compaction densities (compaction around foundations, equipment, pipes, minor structures, etc.) shall be as follows, or as recommended by the piping or equipment manufacturer as percentage of Maximum Dry Density:

P.O. Number : 7200018725

relative density for each area classification. Do not place additional layers if the previous layers have not attained the required compaction. 3. Do not place backfill or fill material on surfaces that are muddy or soft, unless the construction of a working platform is necessary. Place backfill and fill materials evenly adjacent to structures, to required elevations. Carry the material uniformly around structure to approximately same elevation in each lift. General Fill Areas: Initially a test strip (min. size 300 m2) shall be established to determine the methods, number of passes, type of equipment etc. required to obtain the specified compaction for each type of fill material. The fill shall be placed in layers not exceeding 200 mm over this area. The area shall be tested by the following methods: (a) Material Type II shall be tested by using ASTM D1557 as a laboratory standard to determine the optimum moisture content and maximum density. At least three moisturedensity curves shall be established for the test strip and the mean value used. Following this the field density shall be determined using ASTM D1556 (sandcone method), ASTM D2922 (Nuclear Method) or E-24, as applicable, for the test strip. At least five tests shall be taken and the maximum density achieved shall equal or exceed the specified percentage of the maximum density corrected for coarse particle content in accordance with AASHTO T224 (e.g. 95% max. density). Material Type I shall be tested using ASTM D2049 as a laboratory standard to determine the maximum and minimum density. At least three tests shall be carried out and the mean value used as a standard. Following this, the field density shall be determined using ASTM D1556 (sand-cone method), or ASTM D2922 (Nuclear Method). At least five tests shall be carried out and the minimum relative density shall be calculated from laboratory tests. This shall equal or exceed the specified value (e.g. 75% relative density). Type I or Type II material having particle sizes in excess of 50 mm shall be tested by E-24 or ASTM D1556 (with a larger sand-cone). The entire fill area shall be compacted in the same manner as the test strip and tested at the frequencies listed in paragraph 1.2
