PROCEDURE / METHOD TO BE EMPLOYED:

7.1 Back filling for Buildings and Structures:Backfilling works will be done for the areas where all the construction activites are finished and all the water proofing application are completed and cured properly. 7.1.2 All the area will be cleaned for all type of debris before starting the backfilling. 7.1.3 All the horizontal and vertical water proofed surfaces will be covered by 1000-gauge polythene sheet. 7.1.4 The backfill materials, which will be approved by (CLIENT/CONSULTANT), will be stocked near site. 7.1.5 Material will be moistened as per its Optimum Moisture Content, and will be mixed thoroughly for the uniform moisture content by means of shovel. 7.1.6 The material will be then laid in layer not more than 200mm in loose depth for the materials compacted with heavy compaction equipment and not more than 100mm in loose depth for material compacted by hand-operated tampers. 7.1.7 Each layer will be compacted to a min. 95% MDD of the material by roller vibrators in wider spaces and by hand tamper in narrow spaces. 7.1.8 Back filling will be done to required elevations evenly adjacent to structures, piping, or conduits 7.2 Back filling for Trenches:7.2.1 Backfilling of trenches will be started only after the inspection of the laid services and the clearance from (CLIENT/CONSULTANT) 7.2.2 Backfill will be done for trenches where trench excavation pass within 400 mm of column or wall footings or foundation and which are carried below bottom of such footings or foundation, or which pass under wall footings or foundations, with the concrete of grade 20 N/mm2. 7.2.3 For piping or conduits that passes less than 750 mm below the surface of roadways, a concrete slab with encasement of 150 mm thick will be laid before any backfilling starts. 7.2.4 3/8 gravel will be used as sub-base to the piping conduits and granular fill will be used over it. 7.2.5 The material will be laid in layer not more than 200mm in loose depth for the materials compacted with heavy compaction equipment and not more than 100mm in loose depth for material compacted by hand-operated tampers. 7.2.6 Each layer will be compacted to a min. 95% MDD of the material by roller vibrators in wider spaces and by hand tamper in narrow spaces. 7.2.7 Back filling will 7.2.8 be done to required elevations evenly adjacent to piping, or conduits 8.0 MANPOWER REQUIRMENTS: Charge hands Surveyors Driver 7.1.1
