BACKFILLING
GENERAL
5.5.1.1
DESCRIPTION
This item shall consist of furnishing all materials, equipment and labor for
backfilling to install or construct the penstock and other accessories as
shown on the Plans and referred to in these specifications.
Backfill Term used to describe the material used in the fill zones of
excavation. Backfill shall consist of earth removed from excavation or sand
backfill approved by the Engineer. Debris or large rocks shall not be used as
backfill material.
Compaction The process whereby the density of a soil mass is increased by
mechanical, usually dynamic means. This typically involves tamping, rolling,
or vibration, or a combination of these processes. This will result in
relocation of soil particles and the expulsion of air from the soil mass, but
usually without significantly altering the amount of water in the soil.

MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS
5.5.3
EXECUTION
5.5.3.1
The Contractor shall not place any backfill material until the Engineer has
inspected and accepted the placement of the bedding. The Contractor must
not place the overlay material until the concrete has obtained its initial set.
Backfill must not be placed within twenty four (24) hours of placing
concrete. Backfill shall be excavated granular material free of, debris,
organic matter, and rocks larger than four (4) inches across their greatest
dimension.
All compaction shall be by hand operated, plate type, vibratory, or other
suitable hand tampers in areas not accessible to larger rollers or
compactors. Extreme care shall be taken to avoid damage to conduits, pipes,
and any appurtenances.
The backfill material shall be placed and compacted in layers not exceeding
two hundred (200) millimeters loose thickness, and shall be moisture
conditioned as required to facilitate adequate compaction.
The Contractor is responsible for monitoring and rectifying any subsidence
that occurs as a consequence of the Works. The Contractor shall pay any
damage caused as a consequent of subsidence.
5.5.4
MEASUREMENT/BASIS OF PAYMENT
The volume that is to be backfilled to be paid for will be the volume of fill
acceptably cleared in conformity with the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
The accepted quantities, measured as prescribed above shall be paid for at the
contract unit price for each of the particular pay items listed and included in the
Bill of Quantities. The payment shall constitute full compensation for the
removal and disposal of cleared and grubbed materials including all labor,
equipment tools and incidentals.

BRACING
The frame of the steel structure shall be carried up true and plumb
and temporary bracing shall be introduced wherever necessary to
take care of all loads to which the structure maybe subjected,
including equipment and the operation of the same. Such bracing
shall be left in place as long as may be required for safety. Wherever
of piles of materials, erection equipment or other loads are varied
during erection, proper provisions shall be made to take care of
stresses resulting from such loads. As erection progresses, the work
shall be securely bolted, or welded, to take care of all dead load, wind
and erection stresses.
