c. Excavated material approved for use as backfill shall be free of stones larger than
50 mm in longest dimension, roots and organic materials.
STRIPPING
a. Strip top soil only in areas required as shown in the plans. Remove top soil to
depths indicated or as required by the Architect but in no case less than 100 mm in
depth, prior to start of regular excavation or backfilling work.
b. Stock pile the removed top soil separate from other excavated materials in
locations designated by the Architect and or spread and compact with a light roller
in areas indicated in the plans or where directed by the Architect.
SITE GRADING
a. Cut & fill and machine grade the site area. Deposit materials in horizontal layer
not exceeding 200 mm in depth and compact in accordance with method A of ASTM
D 1557-667. Rough grade elevations and levels shall be approximately 150 mm
below the bottom of the slabs on grade, 250 mm below finish grades in areas to be
lawn seeded or landscaped..
EXCAVATION
a. Excavate to the dimensions and elevations indicated on the drawings. Carry
excavation to depths directed by the Architect should unsuitable bearing be
encountered at elevations indicated.
b. Excavation carried to a greater depth or size indicated or required through error,
shall be corrected by filling such additional depth or size with lean concrete.
c. Bottoms of excavation shall be level, free from loose material, and brought to
indicated or required levels in undisturbed earth or in compacted fill.
d. Excavate with proper allowance made for floor slabs, form erection, shoring, drain
tile, waterproofing, masonry and adequate space for inspection of foundations.
DEWATERING
a. Control grading around building so that ground is pitched to prevent water from
running into excavated areas of buildings or damaging other structures.
b. Pump water out of excavate areas throughout the construction; water shall not be
conduced into adjacent developed property.
TRENCHING FOR SUB-DRAINAIGE
a. Excavate trenches for underground utility system and drain lines, grade and tamp
to provide firm bed trenches for drain lines.
b. When rock is encountered, excavate to a depth of 150 mm below the bottom
elevation of the pipe and fill with sand and gravel or crushed stones thoroughly
compacted before laying pipe.
BACKFILLING
a. Prior to backfilling around structures, remove all forms, trash and debris. Use only
approved backfill material and place symmetrically on all sides in layers, moistened
in accordance with item 3.09 of this section.
b. Backfill around structures only after the concrete has attained sufficient strength
to resist lateral pressure resulting from the backfill.
SOIL COMPACTION
a. All existing earth within building lines that has been disturbed shall be placed in
150 mm layers and compacted to 95% of maximum density at optimum moisture
content required for fill in accordance to AASHO method.
