responsibilities under the Contract. The Contractor must also not claim
time and money losses, if the proposed construction method is
unsuccessful, despite prior the approval.
3. Loss of Fill
The Contract includes all risks and all loss of fill that may occur during
the construction period including sea erosion and loss of fill around the
coast, wind erosion, drainage, as well as due to subsidence which is
not applicable to the specified measurement method. There is no cost
claim for this embankment.
4. Tolerance During Embankment

The tolerance for the elevation of the embankment during construction
is 150 mm above or below the soil level or the thickness required at
the construction stage or as shown in the Drawing. This tolerance does
not apply to the finished work, or the measurement method specified
elsewhere. The slope of the soil profile shall not exceed 1:5 unless
specified in the Drawing.
5. Waiting Period
Waiting period is the time it takes for the existing soil to gain strength
after the preloading embankment construction.

the degree of consolidation on the piezometer reading reaches 50%
and it is at least 75 days, expect for final preloading, the waiting time
is until the degree of consolidation on the piezometer reading reaches
90% and it is at least 150 days. Waiting period for the final preloading
STA -0+150 – STA 10+394 6
calculated after the deep compaction work in accordance with Clause

SS4.16 of the Special Specifications has been completed.
6. Supporting Buildings and Channels

The method used must be made so that it does not cause flooding on
the supporting buildings and that no material from the work is piled up.
If there is silting of the waterways in the vicinity that occurs as a result
of work, it must be cleaned immediately by the Contractor without any
additional costs in the Contract. Insurance provided under the Contract
must provide full coverage against claims for damages that may arise,
in this case from parties who have interests in the area and support
channels.
Instructions for Hydraulic Fill Method

Embankment using the hydraulic fill method consists of the following tasks:
1. Dredging the material from the borrow area or dredging location using
a dredger.
2. Shipping of fill material from the borrow area to the embankment
location using a dredger, barge, or pipe.
3. Placement of fill material in the water mixture at the embankment site
In the process of shipping fill material from the borrow area to the embankment
site, the Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) is used as the main carrier.
The material will be spread out at the embankment site with a floating pipe and
a sinker pipe. All equipment will be mobilized to the project site according to
the work time limit.
The TSHD used must have a large capacity so that the ship is able to carry
large amounts of material for each trip from the borrow area to the
embankment site. TSHD that is used must also have high productivity. The
TSHD must be able to extract material from the depth of the sea at the borrow
area.
1. Work Staging
The TSHD ship will dredge the sand from the borrow area and the
material will be accommodated in the hopper to be transported and
spread out in the embankment site. At the stage of overlaying the
embankment material, the TSHD must be positioned so that the
STA -0+150 – STA 10+394 7
seabed depth is sufficient for the draft of the ship in full load conditions.
Embankment material is spread until it reaches the embankment
elevation in accordance with the Drawing.
2. Loading Material
The process of suctioning the material is carried out using two trailing
units located on the right and left of the hull. In the sand suction stage,
the ship operator has first mapped the location of the borrow area
during its navigation so that it does not cross the permitted limits. When
TSHD is in the borrow area, the trailing is lowered, and the ship moves
while sucking the sand material. The time it takes to fill the TSHD
hopper and the volume it holds depends on the soil properties and the
depth of the dredge area.
3. Sailing Full
When the hopper is full, the suction pipe will be lifted and the TSHD
will go to the location of overlaying embankment.
4. Unloading Material
The process of unloading the material is carried out through a floating
and sinker pipeline. TSHD enters the embankment site and must
position the ship far enough where the sea floor depth is still deep
enough to suit the ship's draft requirements. With a shallow seabed
depth, it is necessary to install a sinker pipe.
Installation of sinker pipes is carried out with the help of multi-cat
vessels. The pipe used at the end (close to TSHD and close to the
spread location) uses a floating pipe and the pipe in the middle uses a
sinker pipe. This pipe could be connected to other pipe segments
according to the distance from the ship to the embankment spread
location. Then the sand will be mixed with water in the hopper and then
sprayed through the pipeline to the embankment spread area. Pontoon
boats are placed near the embankment site to direct the spray position
of the sand material. After the elevation of the material being spread
slightly exceeds the sea level, the material must be leveled using a
Dozer and Excavator.
Necessary Equipment of Hydraulic Fill Method

The Contractor must submit the equipment specifications for the embankment
work including the heavy equipment to be used and the work method. This
STA -0+150 – STA 10+394 8
method is submitted to the Engineer including daily work output, number, type,
and capacity of tools to be used and must obtain approval from the Engineer.
SS4.05 (5) (b) Quality Control

Test of Fill Material Quality
1. For each quarry material transportation, a minimum of 5 samples are
taken randomly.
2. Before the compaction work, testing was carried out on 3 samples
taken at random for every 2,500 m2.
Quality testing of embankment material shall be carried out both for source
procurement and on-site testing as directed by the Owner or the Engineer, in
order to meet the requirements of this Specification.
Embankment Density Test

The requirements and criteria for embankment density refer to SS4.16.
The following field control tests shall be carried out to meet the requirements
of the Specification with the number of tests per 2,500 m2. The Contractor
shall provide all necessary assistance in the form of labor, transport, and
testing.
a. Density testing of solid fill in the field using a Sand Cone according to
ASTM D1556.
b. Determination of CBR of solid fill field based on SNI 1738:2011 Method
of Field CBR Test
c. Surface test to ensure the evenness and accuracy of the slope, if there
are parts that are uneven or the elevation and slope are not right, the
soil must be dredged, backfilled, and compacted again until the slope
and elevation are obtained in accordance with the Drawing.
SS4.05 (6) Payment to Others
The Clause S4.05 (5) of General Specification shall govern.
SS4.05 (7) Method of Measurement
The quantity of sand backfill that must be measured and paid for is cubic
meters of the entire compacted embankment as required in SS4.16
Compaction, minus the volume of preloading fill. The volume of embankment
STA -0+150 – STA 10+394 9
to be measured is net volume, after stripping the surface soil from preloading
fill according to the cross section on the Drawing.
The quantity of temporary preloading fill must be measured as cubic meters of
compacted and installed embankment material, measured from the finish
grade elevation of the preloading fill up to the design elevation below
pavement and selected borrow material according to the Drawing. The cross
section that used to calculate the volume is carried out every 10-meter interval.
SS4.05 (8) Basis of Payment
The amount of compacted embankment measured as stated above will be

paid according to the Contract unit price for the payment items below. The
price and payment would be the full compensation for the work described in
this Clause, including the provision, transportation, placement, and
compaction of materials.
The payment is made in two stages:
1. Payment for 70% of the price of payment items that meet the criteria
has been imported the field and payment for 30% after the material is
compacted and meet the criteria, as well as has been approved by
