suitable locations to control excavating area, confirming the construction drawings of excavation
areas to be attached as addition to this method statement distribute details to all concerned
parties as required.
5.3.2 Excavation work
- Excavation shall be done in a safe and sequential manner on the basis of the prepared plan
drawings and in accordance with the instructions by the Engineer.

- During excavation, it is necessary to make drainage ditch slope to sump pit as precaution in
case raining and ground water occurs during construction.
- Ground water will be drained by water pump with hose line is allocated to sump pit then
discharge to the river. Contractor shall monitor ground water level and continuously run the
dewatering pumps to maintain dry working platform when ground water is encountered.
Additional pumps will be added if the pumping capacity is insufficient.
- Excavated soil to be loaded to dump truck and transported to the stockpile. Unsuitable material
and waste material shall be removed from site to the waste yard in accordance with the
specification requirements.
5.3.3 Excavation up to design level
Mat
pm3
Typical section of excavation area

- During excavation, pile may be cut above the design cutoff level if necessary. Excavation shall
be taken care between the piles using small bucket (< 0.5 m3) or manual shoveling.
- After completion of excavation, dimensions and elevation of bottom area will be checked by
surveyor. The bottom will be leveled and compacted.
5.3.4 Sand back filling
- After completion of foundation concrete work and other concrete work under the ground, sand
back filling will be executed in uniform horizontal layers across the full area of the foundation
without segregation.
- Approved suitable material should be used for backfilling. Compaction standard shall be
employed in the execution of this work.
- Fill materials shall be distributed evenly to the backfill area to a specified thickness of
compaction = 150mm thick and compacted by compactor to a specified compaction factor.
