Mean hourly wind speed of not less than .........30 m/s (as per BS EN 1991-1-4)
Yearly rainfall.......................................................80 - 150 mm
The wind is very directional and that the W-NNW sector predominates for velocities greater
than 8m/s (30km/h). However, the wind in coastal areas tends to exhibit a diurnal pattern,
with onshore winds during daylight hours changing to offshore at night.
The temperature is relatively mild from October to May and hot from June to September.
The relative ambient humidity is generally low from October to May and generally high from
June to September.
Under certain climatic conditions, considerable condensation may take place.
A considerable amount of salt is contained in the atmosphere which together with the
relatively high ambient humidity, can produce sever corrosion problems.
Distribution and occurrence of rainfall events are very erratic. Rainfall events are generally of
a high intensity with a short duration and usually occur between December and March.
The prevailing wind directions are from the north and west.

laboratory list issued by the Owner or relevant authorities for Quality Control purposes.
The Contractor shall ensure that copies of all testing results are sent directly from the
laboratory or testing agency to the Owner and/or to any other party specified in the Contract.
It is the full responsibility of the Contractor to assure that, project's data base and information
made available to the Owner or relevant authorities is true and updated with that existing in
the site.
The Contractor shall coordinate, accompany and cooperate with QA/QC staff during site
visits, Quality audits and report all nonconformities to the Owner. He shall also ensure that
proper records are maintained on the issuance of NCR and produce upon request by the
Owner or any other relevant authority.
The Contractor shall ensure that the Engineer or Engineers Representative shall administer
and witness the sampling and testing process, including sampling locations, collection and
transportation.
The Contractor shall ensure that the samples for testing are collected and delivered by the
appointed laboratory or under complete supervision and responsibility of the Engineer. Any

FAILURE BY THE CONTRACTOR TO MEET ACCEPTABLE QUALITY

PERFORMANCE
8.12.1
General
Should the Contractor not maintain acceptable quality performance then the Owner or
Engineer may, in addition to any other amounts withheld under the Contract, withhold sum of
money from the Contractor equivalent to the work which has not met the required standards.
The criteria used for determining acceptable performance are as defined the Contract and
the Engineers decision shall be final. The following items shall be taken into consideration
when assessing non-acceptable performance;
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
any stop work instructions issued to the Contractor

any NCR issued to the Contractor
any adverse comments arising from quality inspections or quality audits
any adverse formal communication from the Owner or enforcing authorities or
government organisations to the Contractor regarding sub-standard quality
performance
8.12.2
Penalty for Poor Quality Works
Further to Clause 8.12.1, should the Contractor not maintain acceptable quality performance
then the Owner or Engineer may impose penalties on the Contractor. A general set of
unacceptable performance criteria that may be imposed by the Owner or Engineer for poor
quality work are defined in the Table 8.2. The financial penalties for poor quality work shall
be defined within the Contract.

8.13.1
Suspension of Work
The Contractor may be issued with stop work instructions from the Engineer for any
observed cases of serious or imminent Quality violation associated with the Work. On receipt
of a stop work instruction the Contractor shall refrain from work until such time as remedial
action has been taken to alleviate the serious or imminent Quality violation and necessary
measure put in place to prevent its reoccurrence. The Contractor shall be responsible for
the delay caused due to this stop work instruction and is not entitled to claim extension of
time.
The Contractor shall stop work if any unknown or unplanned conditions occur that give rise
to serious or imminent quality violations. In such circumstances the Contractor shall assess
the risks associated with any remedial work required and revise the method statements. The
revised method statement shall be reviewed and approved by the Contractors Quality
Manager as appropriate. Revised method statements shall be approved by the Engineer
before the recommencement of Work.

characteristic as the common bitumen and/or asphalt [All types of Base Course (BC),
Intermediate Course (IC), Service Course (SC), Wearing Course etc, Bitumen Binder of all
types]. Hence all tests mentioned regarding bitumen and/or asphalt shall be carried out for
any material with the similar characteristics as bitumen and/or asphalt at the specified
frequency.

Footnote 29: Bitumen testing will have to be carried out by the Contractor at the specified
frequency, irrespective of the fact whether the same tests have been carried out by the
bitumen manufacturer or supplier.

Footnote 32: 1 test (or 1 sample) refers to a pair of adjacent cores (150 mm diameter for
intermediate and base course and 100 mm diameter for wearing course). If asphalt is layed
in two or more layers for any of the course, the coring and testing shall be completed for the
first layer before the commencement of asphalt laying for the subsequent layer(s).

Summer Working Conditions
During the period from June 15th until August 31st, work under direct sun rays is prohibited
from 11:30 am to 3:00 pm unless special arrangement is taken by the Contractor to control
and ease effect of the direct sun on the workers. This arrangement should be approved by
the Engineers Representative and should be agreed upon before implementation.
High outdoor temperatures expose persons on the Worksite to the risk of dehydration. The
Contractor will provide shaded rest areas, rest periods and drinking water supplies for all
persons on the Worksite.
Sunlight exposes persons on the Worksite to the risk of skin disorders. Employers will
provide work wear that covers the skin for employees working in direct sunlight. Sunlight
may also cause glare for operators of mobile plant, vehicles, machinery and equipment
which increases the risk of operator errors. The Contractor will provide shaded operating
positions to reduce such risks.
END OF PART
Ergonomics and proper layout of work area.

Darkness or poor visibility increases the risk of persons on the Worksite slipping,
tripping or falling. It also increased the risk of operator error for plant, vehicle,
machinery and equipment operations. To reduce such risks the Contractor will provide
the following:
Temporary lighting for all Worksite access areas and roads that will be used
during the hours of darkness.
Task lighting for all work activity at night or in areas with poor visibility.
Emergency lighting for pedestrian access routes in areas of poor visibility and
those used during night time working.
Ensure the absence of glare.
Proper lighting in corridors.
