WORK PROCEDURE:

1. The material will be brought from Tapar Crusher. Material will be crushed,
screened at Tapar Crusher and the lot will be tested at Tapar, in case of local
segregation the deficient material will be added at site to satisfy table 400-1
Grading- I requirement of MORTH Rev. 4, if required. To avoid the
segregation of the material water-sprinkling arrangement is made on the
conveyor, which also helps in controlling air pollution.
2. GSB layer will be constructed on the sub grade top layer, which is already
constructed as per MORT&H clause 305.
3. Calculated quantity of GSB material will be placed on the entire bed. If any
segregation is observed, the same is rectified by processing with the help of
grader blade. GSB material gradation will be checked at QC lab.
4. Material will be spread to with the help of motor grader.
5. Required amount of water will be sprinkled, calculation based on OMC (+1%
or – 2% tolerance limits). Material will be processed if required with the help
of grader blade to achieve uniform moisture.
6. Final grading will be done carefully as per required slope and level without
segregation.
7. The graded material will be thoroughly compacted to the specified densities
by a vibratory roller having a static weight of 8-10 tons.
8. Rolling will be commenced at the lower edge and proceeded towards the
upper edge longitudinally with overlapping of one third of roller drum width for
each passes for areas of unidirectional cross fall (camber) and super
elevation.
9. The number of heavy vibratory passes will be established after doing trial
stretch to achieve required density i:e 98% of MDD.
10. All the depressions, high spots, segregated locations will be made correct
during initial rolling itself.
11. Camber will be checked and corrected if required before final rolling.
12. Finally one plain pass will be given on the entire length of the stretch.
13. Speed of the roller will be maintained uniformly (not exceeding 5km/hr.)
during rolling.

 14. After rolling compaction test will be carried out to check its degree of
compaction by any suitable method.
15. All the field density readings / results will be recorded in the specified as
mentioned above.
16. Levels will be checked and recorded in the format no. LTCD/QSF/SUR/ for
the top layer.
17. Surface irregularities will be recorded in format.

SAFETY PROCEDURE:

1. All trucks and tankers etc. Shall be provided with reverse horns.
2. All exit points of the trucks/ tippers shall be marked with safety cones and
caution boards.
3. Flagman shall be provided at all exit of trucks/tippers.
4. The speed of vehicles in the work shall be restricted to 30 Kmph. Maximum.
5. Proper PPEs viz, shoes, safety Jackets etc. Shall be used.
6. Where it is necessary to close the traffic on the existing highway for
construction and divert the traffic on to an alternative route. The diversion
road shall have fluent geometry and maintained in traffic worthy condition
such that traffic can safely negotiate.
7. Safety as per IRC-SP-55-2001 may be taken up in location warranting need.
