PURPOSE
The purpose of this method statement is to define the standard work process for Structural Excavation and Backfilling related activities. The method of statement addresses work operation associated with structural excavation and backfilling. All necessary setting out, tree cutting, clearing and grubbing will be completed prior to performing this operation. 2.0 SCOPE
This work consists of excavation for bridges, trenches, pipelines, ducts, culverts, headwalls, cut off walls, catch pits, manholes, inlets and retaining walls and will include drainage, pumping, sheeting and the installation and removal of cofferdams if necessary as well as disposal of material arising from the excavation, and backfilling to the level of the original ground.

The following basic machinery and equipment shall be utilized for the structural excavation and backfilling activities. Bulldozers Graders Excavators Loaders Dump Trucks Water Trucks Vibratory Rollers Light Towers for Night Shift
7.1 Materials Structural Excavation will be classified as In soil or In Rock. Rocks or boulders of an individual size greater than 1 m3 and other hard strata which are not possible to excavate without drilling and blasting will be classified as Rock Excavation. Removing or disposing concrete pavement, cement stabilized base course or concrete pavement, of thickness more than 100 mm will also be classified as Rock Excavation unless removal and disposal of such asphalt or concrete layers is covered under separate pay items appearing in the Bill of Quantities. In any individual structural excavation where more than 50 % of the total volume removed is classified as Rock, all the excavated material will be designated as Rock for payment purposes.
7.2 Construction Requirements a. General i. ii. Foundation excavation shall be made in accordance with the area of the foundations shown on the Drawings and shall permit placing of the full width and lengths of concrete show. Excavation will be taken to the level shown on the Drawings. No foundation or blinding concrete will be placed prior to approval of the excavation bottom by the Engineer. The bottom of the excavation, trench will be compacted to 95% of MDD. Overdepth excavation below founding level by the Engineer. Overdepth excavation below founding level and overwidth excavation beyond the lateral limits shown on the Drawings shall be backfilled with the same class concrete as for the foundation and will be poured with the foundation. Where rock is exposed at founding level the excavation will be prepared by trimming and removal of loose rock fragments before blinding with concrete. Drilling and blasting required in any foundation excavation will be completed prior to placing foundation concrete. When unsuitable material is encountered at founding level, over excavation and replacement with Suitable backfill material, concrete will be executed. The necessary depth of over excavation and the suitability of the proposed backfill material will be approved by the Engineer prior to commencement of the work. Where piled foundations are to be used, excavation for the file cap will be completed before the piles are installed. After piling is completed, loose and Work Method Statement for Structural Excavation & Backfilling Page 6 of 16

b. Excavation and Backfilling for Culverts, Storm Sewers and Ducts i. Precast concrete and steel pipe culverts and pipe ducts will be installed in trenches cut into previously constructed and compacted embankment either from the subgrade or from an embankment height at least twice the nominal diameter of the pipe. Unless otherwise noted on the Drawings, trenches will be no wider than the external diameter of the pipe plus 300 mm on each side. If trenches are dug too wide, the pipe culvert will be bedded in a concrete cradle. Pipe bedding will be either graded aggregate 12 mm nominal size to Table 1 of BS 882, or concrete Class 12 shown on the Drawings. Exposed concrete bedding will be cured for a minimum of 3 days. Pipes will be laid so that the lower portion of each pipe is supported for its entire length to a depth at least equal to the external diameter. They will be fitted and matched so that when laid in the trench they form a pipeline with a smooth and uniform fall invert. Granular material for pipe bedding will be compacted to the minimum bed thickness shown in table 2.2. 50 mm less bedding may be provided under the sockets of spigot and socket pipes.

Granular bedding material will be placed and compacted in uniform layers on both sides simultaneously to 50 mm above the top of the pipes. Selected excavated material or approved granular fill will then be placed and compacted above the pipe for the full trench width to not less than 300 mm finished thickness. Where rock, or similar material is encountered in the excavation bottom, it will be removed for a depth of 150 mm. The extra excavation will be backfilled with a properly compacted granular material. In-Sity concrete pipe culverts shall be cast in trenches cut into previously constructed and compacted embankment from the subgrade or from an Work Method Statement for Structural Excavation & Backfilling Page 7 of 16

c. Scheduling Excavation for Structures i. ii. Works will be scheduled so that no excavation is left in an exposed condition for a period greater than 30 days. If earthworks progress is not integrated with the drainage structural work to the point where the road embankment dams the natural drainage, the Engineer may order the Contractor to open adequate temporary water structure through the roadway at locations where drainage structures are to be installed. Damage to the roadway caused by water passing through these openings will be repaired.
d. Backfilling For Structures i. ii. Only selected granular materials that will produce a stable, dense, backfill will be used for structures. In addition, backfill for metal pipe culverts will contain less than 1.5 % of combined chlorides and sulphates. Selected backfill, which will be subject to the prior approval of the Engineer, will consist of well graded natural sands and gravels, crushed gravel and crushed rock (but excluding argillaceous rock types) with the properties shown in Table 2.3

No cast in place concrete structures will be subjected to pressures from backfilling until 3 days after expiration of the period designated for removal of forms. Backfill placed around the culverts, abutments and piers will be Work Method Statement for Structural Excavation & Backfilling Page 8 of 16

7.3 Method of Measurement i. Measurement of Structural excavation will be limited to excavation for foundation for bridges, retaining walls, box culverts or cross sectional area exceeding 1.0 m2, box culvert wing walls, head walls, toe walls and aprons, manholes, pump houses and sub-stations. For box culverts 1.0 m2 or less, pipe culverts, storm sewers and ducts, measurement of structural excavation in rock will be made. The cross sectional area of the box culverts referred in clauses 206.31 & 206.32 in General Specifications for Roads will be that of the net opening of the culvert. For pipe culverts and box culverts of net opening are of 1.0 m2 or less, no measurement will be made for excavation of abutments, wing walls, headwalls, toe walls and aprons etc, unless the excavation is declared in rock. The pay volume of structural excavations will be that within a plane prism bounded by a lower horizontal plane, vertical planes and an upper horizontal Work Method Statement for Structural Excavation & Backfilling Page 9 of 16

7.4 Structural Excavation and Backfill Execution Plan i. ii. iii. iv. v. All necessary clearing and grubbing and topsoil excavation (where necessary) will be completed prior to the beginning of the excavation. The location will be demarcated to show the limits and depths of the excavation. The disturbing and spoiling material and vegetation outside of the expropriation limits will be avoided to the extent possible. The excavation will be done to the formation level for the full construction width. The excavation will start either with bulldozers or excavators together with the construction of the slopes. The material that is excavated by excavator will directly loaded to the dump trucks and transported to the fill or deposit area. For further 20 cm the existing material will be scarified, watered as necessary, mixed and compacted. The prepared formation will be in such condition that it will be well drained all times.

The excavation will be performed with bulldozers and hydraulic excavators. The excavators will load directly from the excavation to the articulated dump trucks and the trucks will haul the material to the fill or waste area. The material excavated by bulldozers will be loaded to trucks by loaders. The material will be hauled to fill or waste areas. 8.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY Work Method Statement for Structural Excavation & Backfilling Page 12 of 16
