• Skilled Labours.
• Skilled Equipments and Operator.
5.2. Equipments:
In accordance to work requirements, the following machineries and equipments will be used in
general:
• Surveying Instruments.
• Motor Grader.
• Pay Loader.
• Dump Truck.
• Roller Compactors.
• Water Tank Truck.
• Pneumatic Compactor.

6. PROGRAM OF WORK
6.1. Mobilization:
Mobilization will be carried out within 2 days from the date of receiving the acceptance to com-
mence the works and approval of work permit.
6.2. Sequence of work:
The sequence of work will be as follow:
• All the HSE requirements in accordance to Project HSE Plan will be imple-
mented.
• Backfilling and Soil Compaction requirements regarding the equipments and
machineries will be arranged according to work requirements.
• The sequence for the works will be according to the Project Master Schedule.

6.2.1. Preparation:
• Verify that survey bench marks, control points and intended elevations for the works are
as shown on the drawings and protect them properly.
• All subgrade compaction and test have to be completed and approved as per design cri-
teria, approved project Method Statement for Backfilling & Soil Compaction and other
relevant recognized engineering standard (e.g SCRB state commission for roads and
bridges (design manual for roads and bridges). Ministry of housing and construction -
1983 with 1999 and 2003 revisions).
• Confirm the laboratory which will be carry out soil tests and compaction tests and the
relevant requirements.
• Confirm the availability of equipments and tools necessary to use in emergency cases re-
lated to the operation of machineries and vehicles.
• Before commencing the Backfilling and Compaction works, the grated levelled and exca-
vated areas in the work site shall be checked to assure safe operation of machineries.

Further preparations for proper access and work stages are to be arranged for safe han-
dling, distributing and spreading of the backfilling materials.

6.2.2. Survey work:

Survey work to fix reference points for elevations and coordinates to be planned and established
base on the main Survey Control Points in order to facilities the Compaction process avoiding
conflict with machineries and vehicles and shall be protected from movements; and if required,
during the progress of work stages, an additional survey reference points will be established.

6.2.3. Backfilling and Soil Compaction:

• The exposed subgrade shall be moist to the optimum moisture content (OMC) and well
compacted by heavy roller compactor and tested to achieve the max dry density (ASTM
D-1557).
• The imported backfilling materials from selected borrow pits shall be stored in stock piles
arranged in suitable places: therefore a plan will be prepared before starting the works
indicating stockpiles locations. Specimens shall be tested from individual stockpile for
compliance with specifications and to obtain MDD (Modified Dry Density) and OMC (Op-
timum Moisture Content).
• Backfill material shall be laid systematically in layers not exceeding 200mm for structural
fill, 250mm for general fill and 250mm for lean backfill (to be used after company ap-
proval)followed by levelling.
• After levelling, heavy roller compactors shall be used to achieve the min. density of 90%
of MDD according to ASTM D-1557 for general fill min. 95% of MDD for structural fill and
min. of 90% of MDD for lean fill.
• If a compacted layer fails to meet the specified percentage of maximum density the layer
will be re-compacted and retested. No additional material shall be placed over a com-
pacted layer until the specified density is achieved.
• The compacted areas shall be kept in tidy condition, clean and free from loose materials
to receive the subsequent layer.
• Level of top backfill layer for each area shall be in accordance to related construction
drawings and referring topographical survey reference elevation.

6.3. Demobilization:
As soon as the backfilling and Soil Compaction works are completed, the whole machineries and
equipments which are not necessary for the successor activity will be demobilized from the site.
