2.2.2.1 SITE CLEARANCE

Before excavation, we will clear all work areas of rubbish, vegetation and unsuitable materials.
When clearing, the sequence of operations depends on the type of trees, the terrain, and planned
construction. After establishing the boundaries of the clearing, select spoil areas for disposal of all
cleared material based on the shortest haul, a downgrade slope, effective camouflage, and general
accessibility. Start clearing at the disposal area and move in each direction away from it. These ma-
terials will be loaded onto trucks by wheeled loaders and disposed at a location approved by the
Engineer.
2.2.2.2 EXCAVATION AND FILL

Excavation will be carried out by teams of wheel loader and excavators. The size of equipment will
be chosen by the Contractor to suit the ambient conditions.
2.2.2.2.1 Sources of Materials for embankment fill

STRABAG owns a quarry in Duqm which is located about 50 km from beginning of project.
There are private wells in the vicinity of the project site from where water for construction can be
obtained.
The working drawings for excavation will be submitted for approval for individual sites or each loca-
tion prior to start of the excavation. Referring to the approved construction drawings, the excava-
tion layout will be marked w.r.t. the grids and axis lines as the case may be as per the site condition.
■ All material transported to site will undergo a quality control verification process;
■ All materials transported away from the site will be accounted for with tally sheets;
■ If a material needs to be stockpiled it will be in the area where required and if not required it
will be moved offsite.

2.2.2.3 DISPOSAL OF UNSUITABLE/SURPLUS MATERIAL

The Contractor will dispose unsuitable material to areas out of right of way on both sides of the
alignment, the possible disposal area is about 20 km away from the project .
2.2.3 SUBGRADE CONSTRUCTION

As per the QA/QC report of our laboratory, existing material after crushing and screening can be
used for the preparation of subgrade as it is suitable. It will be then watered to achieve the opti-
mum moisture content and compacted by using smooth vibrating rollers.
■ Wheel loaders and excavators will be used for excavation and graders prepare the embank-
ment layers and sub-grade.

■ If top soil exists this will be cleaned and material will be scrapped away.
■ Prior to excavation adjacent to existing underground services, as built drawings will be made
in order to determine the exact location and for record of existing utilities.
■ Site testing of compaction will be to be carried as mentioned in the specifications.
■ Construction of the next course will only commence after the previous course has been ap-
proved by the Engineer.
2.2.4 AGGREGATE BASE COURSE

Equipment dedicated for proceeding these works will be as follows:
■ Finisher
■ Steel drum roller
■ Grader or Paver
We plan to deploy One (1) crew each having the productivity of 800-900 m3 per day
■ The layer will be compacted using 10-15 ton vibrating rollers.
■ Our standard work method for these works is to place the first layer using graders and placing
of second layer with a finisher. This method is adjusted to suit local conditions.
■ The site supervisor will be responsible for applying the required number of passes by equip-
ment for the compaction.
■ Materials is available from the proposed borrow pit locations.

2.2.5 BITUMINOUS PAVEMENT

We will prepare asphalt mix designs before beginning the work. A copy of calibration certificates for
the batching plant, laboratory equipment and material test result will be provided.
We plan to deploy one (1) crew for asphalt each having the productivity of 350 m3 per day. We
have foreseen for setup our own asphalt plant on site.

■ Before laying of each course a notice will be given to the Engineer to inform about the coming
works.
2.2.5.1 BITUMINOUS PRIME COAT

After preparing the surface, the prime coat will be applied through bitumen distributors.
2.2.5.2 BITUMINOUS BASE COURSE

We plan to deploy one (1) crew for asphalt paving. Each paving crew will be assigned for asphalt
paving to achieve 400m3 per crew on average.
■ Each Civil Engineer will be responsible for construction of the bituminous base course in-
cluded in his Section under supervision of the Project Manager.
■ The bituminous Base Course will be laid through the paver.
■ The paving width will be determined depending on the total width of the road.
■ Asphalt base course will be transported to site by trucks.
■ The mix will be delivered to the site at temperature between 140 to 170 Celsius.
■ The trucks will be covered with tarpaulin to retain the temperature and prevent oxidation.
■ The compaction first pass by tandem roller without vibration and PTR will compact the mix
close to the paver.
■ During laying levels are checked to control the screed and if required, to adjust it.
■ During and after final rolling, the evenness, levels and thickness will be checked.
■ In case of longitudinal joints, old asphalt will be cut with a cutting wheel or a disk cutter.
Transverse joints are carried out by cutting with a jackhammer to achieve good bonding with
the existing pavement.

■ Materials and work testing will be performed by the Lab technician in accordance with the
Standard Specifications for Road & Bridge Construction, June 2010 and the Special Specifica-
tion in the Site’s Laboratory.

2.3 PIPE CULVERT

2.3.1 FOUNDATION PREPRATION AND BEDDING
Foundation will be most likely involved with excavation; the most important excavation limitations
are trench width and depth. As excavation progresses, trench grades should be continuously
checked against the elevations established in culvert profile.
After the foundation prepared, aggregate bedding material shall be laid to receive the pipe culvert.
Bedding thickness of no less than the specification. The width of the bedding material should equal
the width of the pipe (span plus twice the wall thickness) and the length of the bedding material
should equal the length of the pipe.
2.3.2 PIPE LAYING

Placement of pipe culvert should start at the outlet end of the line of pipe sections. The bell end
should point upstream and the spigot or tongue should point downstream. Unless otherwise ap-
proved by the engineer, loads from construction equipment transferred to a pipe section before,
during, or after fill placement, either directly or through the fill, should not be greater than the
loads assumed in the design.
2.3.3 BACKFILLING FOR STRUCTURES

Only selected granular material that will produce a stable, dense, backfill will be used for structure.
Transport of the material will be made by tipper trucks and placing by excavators, small sized wheel
loaders or by hand depending on the depth, location and quantity of fill to be placed.
Structure will not be subject to the pressure of backfilling until the strength of the concrete has
been achieved.
At pipe culverts and storm sewers the backfill will be completed around the culvert as specified
level of the original ground line.

2.4 ROAD LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Street lighting involves the installation of lighting poles, lighting fixtures, relative cabling and the
earth bonding of the poles.
■ The street lighting works will be performed in conjunction with sub-contractors.

■ Material will be approved prior to ordering.
■ Street lighting poles will be as approved.
■ The height of the street lighting poles will be as per drawings.
■ The axis of each lighting pole will be located by co-ordinates.
2.4.1 INSTALLATION OF LIGHTING POLES AND EARTHING

■ The lighting poles will be installed by crane, including brackets, cut-outs, luminaire, flexible
cable and termination.

2.5 UTILITY WORK

The work of this project features substantial amount of utility installations mentioned below.
■ Specialized works will be performed by qualified sub-contractors.
2.5.1 SEQUENCE OF WORK ZONES

The utility works will start first where no roadwork is foreseen and as soon as the material (pipes,
cable, ducts) has been approved and procured.
A technical report accompanied by drawing will recognize findings and difficulties encountered on
site. Photographs illustrating the progress and any problems encountered will be included in the
monthly report for the Employee’s reference and comments.

The major activities to be adopted for these utilities works are following:
■ Pipe laying
■ Duct laying
■ cable laying
The pipe laying works, which we consider can be started even before subgrade construction
because in general the excavation depths for these pipe laying are below existing ground.
