 Pavement Investigation And Testing
 Roadway excavation
 Subgrade construction(Embankment filling)
 Sub base construction
 Aggregate base coarse(graded aggregate base)
 Graded aggregate base priming(Prime coat)

4. PAVEMENT INVESTIGATION AND TESTING

Geotechnical investigation of immediate soil substrata underneath proposed pavement is an essential prerequisite
to execute the road pavement design. In order to obtain information of the geo-engineering properties of the soil
layers underneath the proposed approach road a proper investigation method will undertake.
In this case, AE will do the road construction to match the existing road at Justice Akbar Mawatha. The ground
condition is determined using available borehole (BH-09) report. This will be used to determine soil condition in
very close area after the bridge approach slab. If road work have to perform on existing asphalt road, wearing
course layer shall be laid after investigating its layer thicknesses using trail pit.

5. SITE CLEARING
 Mobilization of resources as per the site requirement and the available site space per effective handling
of resources.

Author: Access Engineering PLC

 Clear site is required in order to facilitate the setting out, level marking and for other demarcation work of
the pavement construction area as a preliminary activity.
 To proceed with the bridge approach road construction, existing structures shall be demolished by the
Employer.
 Other disturbance in the bridge approach road area like trees, office containers, workers rest room, etc.
shall be removed/ relocated by AE.
 Cleaning of the either side of the road will be done by using Backhoe loader and Labors.
 Barricade the location to be cleaned & Grubbed with warning tape, traffic cones, sign board etc.

6. EARTH WORK
The Road length will be divided as right hand side & left hand side from the Centre line of the Road (Select the
sides by looking from road side to building side). If required as per the site condition, the work will be executed in
those two sections (RHS and LHS) separately. However each and every activity shall be nominated during the
execution work by using RHS or LHS identity.

6.1. Backfilling of Abutment Excavation

Refer method statement for abutment backfilling up to sub base bottom level (AEBLB-MST-CN-0007_Rev B).

6.2. Excavation for Road Work (If Any)

 Road excavation depth depends on design CBR value, so that given subgrade level and required
subgrade filling depth shall be used for the excavation work(Please add submittal no of design report).
 In order to start the excavation work, third party items for the ground such as office huts, container box,
demolitions, building shall be removed from the road construction area. Furthermore it will provide a clear
platform to do an accurate setting out and levelling work.
 Barricade the location to be excavated and with warning tape and provide traffic cones, sign board etc…
to demarcate the danger zone of the operating machinery of the working area.
 All excavation as per the design shall be carried out by using Excavator & Backhoe Loader. No need to
provide 45 degree angle in road excavation area. Whenever necessary excavated area beyond the road
construction area shall be made for slop with 45° angle to provide stability, where the nature of the soil
and depth of excavation allow it or otherwise planking/ shuttering will be placed for the safety of the
workmen
 All unsuitable material shall be disposed away from the site or temporary stored in a close proximity to
site until dispose to a proper place

7. SUBGRADE CONSTRUCTION
The approval of subgrade material shall be obtained by the Engineer and tested to ascertain whether they confirm
to Embankment soil Type 1 or Type 2.

Setting out
After the site has been cleared the limits of the sub grade shall be set out as per the limits showing in the approved
drawings and each time make sure to established level peg, control point or any other demarcation at least 2m
beyond(2m offset point) the required point otherwise it will be disturbed due to execution works. Further those
 Page: Page 10 of 31

Author: Access Engineering PLC

setting out or level marking shall be undergone a frequent rechecking process to make sure the accuracy by site
surveyor.
The pegs or stakes showing limits of the subgrade shall be fixed at a pre-identified distance outside the actual
limits of the fill.

Surface preparation for subgrade

On removal of the Top Soil the surface over the total bottom width of the subgrade shall be trimmed and leveled
as necessary and compacted by using 4 – 6 passes of an 8 – 10 ton roller.
Where unsuitable material is encountered after removal of top soil or if the density of compaction of the exposed
surface is found to be less than 95% of the maximum dry density as specified by the Modified compaction test,
the top soil shall be removed to a greater depth as necessary in consultation with the Engineer.

Placing and compaction of subgrade material

The subgrade material transported from road excavations or borrow areas shall normally be spread in layers not
exceeding 225 mm loose thickness for compacting using 8 – 10 rollers. If rollers of higher compaction effort are
used the layer thickness shall be based on field trials of layer thickness and roller passes.
Entire thickness of each layer must be compacted and degree of compaction tested and that results should be in
required level mentioned above before a successive layer is placed.
The subgrade fill shall be compacted at ±2% of the Optimum Moisture Content Rolling shall commence at the
edges and proceed towards the center except at Super-elevated sections where rolling shall commence at the
lower edge Proceed towards the higher edge.
The top 500 mm of the subgrade shall be compacted to a density not less than 95% of the dry density and the
lower layers shall be compacted to a density not less than 93% of the maximum dry density as determined by the
Modified Compaction tests conducted in the laboratory.

Drainage and Protection of subgrade

Water shall not be allowed to accumulate at any point in the earth Work. At the end of day work the top surface
shall be finished with an adequate slope towards Beira Lake in a selected cross fall and longitudinal gradient to
drain off rain water.

8. SUB BASE, ABC AND SHOULDER CONSTRUCTION

8.1. Sub Base
