Section 01015 - Page 3

layout. All site improvements shall be clearly defined, noted and dimensioned. Buildings shall be
located to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles and fire-fighting equipment.
b. Roads and parking areas shall be designed using the turning radius for the largest vehicles entering
the compound. All roads and areas where tractor-trailer vehicles will travel shall be designed for the
worst-case turning radius. Design and construction of roads and pavements shall be based on
recommendations from the required Geotechnical Investigation Plan and Report.
c. The Survey Site Plan and the Master Site Plan shall be drawn in the following projection and datum
for incorporation into the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers GIS system:
WGS 1984 UTM Zone 42 N
2.3.4 DEMOLITION
a. Demolition will be for only the areas indicated in Section 01010 1.6.1b and shall include clearing and
grubbing of the site, and the removal of all existing structures, foundations, pavements, and utilities.
All refuse and debris shall be promptly and properly disposed of off-site.
b. Holes and depressions shall be backfilled and compacted in lifts not to exceed 200 mm in height
unless specified otherwise. Fill materials shall be composed of satisfactory soils or aggregates
defined in ASTM D 2487 as GW, GP, GM, SP, SM, and SW. Minimum soil compaction shall be 95
percent of maximum density as defined in ASTM D 1557.
c. Scrap metal shall become the property of the Host Government. The scrap metal shall be moved to
an area away from the site perimeter, or areas of ongoing site work, as directed by the Contracting
Officers Representative, and left for the Host Government to remove and/or salvage. Demolished
fencing and concertina wire shall be neatly rolled up for reuse by the Host Government. Demolished
fence posts and outriggers shall be neatly stockpiled for reuse by the Host Government.
2.3.5 GRADING
a. The Contractor shall provide all necessary site grading only for the areas indicated in Section 01010
1.6.1b to insure that no areas will be flooded due to a rainfall of a 10-year frequency. Drainage of the
area shall be compatible with the existing terrain. Building floor elevations shall be a minimum 150mm
above finished grade. Grade shall slope away from all sides of the buildings at a minimum of 3% for
3 meters. Protect all facilities from flood waters originating offsite, as based on a rainfall for a 25-year
frequency event.
b. Rainfall data utilized for hydrology calculations shall be obtained from official meteorological records
collected in Afghanistan. National agencies may be consulted for data. In the absence of site
specific data, intensity-duration-frequency curves contained in the AED-N Standard Design
Requirements Hydrology (latest edition) shall be used. These curves shall be developed by
extrapolating the rainfall intensity information from the stations in closest proximity to the project.
Under no circumstances will relationships developed by extrapolation from foreign countries be used
for hydrologic studies.
2.4 EARTHWORK AND FOUNDATION PREPARATION
2.4.1 CAPILLARY WATER BARRIER
ASTM C 33 fine aggregate grading with a maximum of 3 percent by weight passing ASTM D 1140, 75
micrometers, No. 200 sieve, or 37.5mm and no more than 2 percent by weight passing the 4.75mm No. 4
size sieve and conforming to the soil quality requirements specified in the paragraph entitled Satisfactory
Materials.
2.4.2 SATISFACTORY MATERIALS
Any materials classified by ASTM D 2487 as GW, GW-GM, GW-GC, SW, SW-SM, or SW-SC and free of
debris, roots, wood, scrap material, vegetation, refuse, soft unsound particles, or objectionable materials.
