Reviewing and issuing all relevant lab. test reports to the QCE in a timely manner.
6. PROCEDURE
6.1. MATERIALS
Suitable fill materials shall be free from refuse or other waste materials, large (> 100 mm)
cobble or boulder sized fragments, or other material which might prevent proper
compaction or cause the compacted fill to perform inadequately or have insufficient stability
or bearing capacity for the loads to which it is likely to be subjected.
6.2. TYPE A FILL MATERIAL

Type A material shall be used under all foundations and shall comply with the following
specification: Type of soil: Inorganic and free draining with no more than trace amounts of organic matter,
gypsum or other salts.
Particle size: 50mm max.
Fines content: 15% max.
Gradation: Well graded
Liquid Limit: 25% max.
The fill shall be placed at optimum moisture content, in loose layers not exceeding 225mm
thick, each layer should be compacted with suitable equipment to not less than 95% of the
maximum dry density (MDD) as determined from the modified Proctor test.
Quality control of compaction operations shall be made by field density testing; using
approved means, at an initial frequency of one test every 300 m2 per layer.
T-4.234.144 Rev. B

6.3. TYPE B FILL MATERIAL

Type B material may be used as fill for the following purposes:
1. Roadway and paving sub-grade
2. Embankments
3. Grading of general areas to be used by construction or plant operation
Preferred properties of Type B fill shall meet the following criteria:
Type of soil: - Inorganic and free draining with no more than trace amounts of organic
matter, gypsum or other salts.
The fill shall be placed at optimum moisture content, in loose layers not exceeding 300mm
thick. Each layer should be compacted using appropriate equipment to not less than 90% of
the MDD, with the exception of the top 300mm, which shall be compacted to a minimum of
95% maximum dry density (MDD) as determined from the modified Proctor test.
Quality control of compaction operations shall be made by field density testing; using
approved means, at an initial frequency of one test every 750 m2 per layer.

6.4. TYPE C FILL MATERIAL

Type C material shall only be used as fill at locations where the installation of structures or
equipment is not planned or in open areas where only grading is required.
Properties and characteristics of Type C fill should satisfy or exceed the criteria given below:
Type of soil: Inorganic, granular or silty soil with low to negligible gypsum/salt content
Type C material should be placed in loose layers not exceeding 600mm and may be
compacted using bulldozers and/or other types of grading equipment.
7. EXCAVATION
Excavation shall be carried out generally, in accordance with the lines, levels and profiles
shown on latest RFC drawings.
Prior to commencement of excavation work,
Survey/setting out of area to be excavated.
Establish control or reference point to check the extent or depth of excavation.
Dewatering system shall be provided if necessary to remove water from the work or ensure
the stability of excavation during construction.

7.1. SUB-GRADE PREPARATION

After excavations are completed to the specified elevation, or after the removal of top soil or
the unsuitable material, the sub-grade shall be checked for soft spots or depressions prior to
the construction of facilities or the placement of any fill material. The excavated area shall be
backfilled with suitable material. Below the proposed facilities, under certain conditions, lean
concrete may be used as an alternative to compacted soil.
Ground water shall be controlled during sub-grade preparation in order to evaluate the
condition of the sub-grade or to achieve the required degree of compaction of fill material being
used.
Sub-grade material shall be scarified to a depth of 150mm prior to placing fill material to
provide intermixing of fill and sub-grade materials and to avoid stratification of the two
materials.
7.2. BACKFILLING/FILLING AND FINAL GRADING

Backfilling/Filling and final grading shall be carried out generally in accordance
with the lines, levels and profiles shown on drawings.
No fill material shall be placed until the area has been cleared and prepared to receive
filling operation.
All fill material shall be tested and approved prior to use.
Correct type of fill material is being used, layer thickness and compaction method
properly observed.
Appropriate types of equipment or tools are available for the work.
Compaction tests are carried out satisfactorily as required.
Final surfaces, elevations and slopes in various areas shall be as shown on drawing
with the tolerances in accordance with the Project Specifications are completed,
Final elevations shall be checked on a specific record sheet.
