the subgrade already finished to Clause 301 or 305 as applicable shall be
prepared by removing all vegetation and other extraneous matter, lightly
sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled with two passes of 80 -100 kN
smooth wheeled roller.

401.4.2 . Spreading and compacting : The sub-base material of grading specified in

the Contract shall be spread on the prepared subgrade with the help of a motor
grader of adequate capacity, its blade having hydraulic controls suitable for
initial adjustment and for maintaining the required slope and grade during the
operation or other means as approved by the Engineer.

When the sub- base material consists of combination of materials men- tioned in
Clause 401.2.1, mixing shall be done mechanically by the mix- in-place method.

Manual mixing shall be permitted only where the width of laying is not adequate
for mechanical operations, as in small-sized jobs. The equipment used for mix-in
-place construction shall be a rotavator or similar approved equipment capable
of mixing the material to the desired degree. If so desired by the Engineer, trial
runs with the equipment shall be carried out to establish its suitability for the
work.

Moisture content of the loose material shall be checked in accordance with

15:2720 (Part 2) and suitably adjusted by sprinkling additional water from a
truck mounted or trailer mounted water tank and suitable for applying water
uniformly and at controlled quantities to variable widths of surface or other
means approved by the Engineer so that, at the time of compaction, it is from 1
per cent above to 2 per cent be low the optimum moisture content
corresponding to IS:2720 (Part 8). While adding water, due allowance shall be
made for evaporation losses. After water has been added, the material shall be
processed by mechanical or other approved means like disc harrows, rotavators
until the layer is uniformly wet.

Immediately thereafter, rolling shall start. If the thickness of the compacted

layer does not exceed 100 mm, a smooth wheeled roller of 80 to 100 kN weight
may be used. For a compacted single layer upto 225 mm the compaction shall
be done with the help of a vibratory roller of minimum 80 to 100 kN static
weight with plain drum or pad foot- drum or heavy pneumatic tyred roller of
minimum 200 to 300 kN weight having a minimum tyre pressure of 0,7 MN/m2
or equivalent capacity roller capable of achieving the required compaction.
Rolling shall commence at the lower edge and proceed towards the upper edge
longitudinally for portions having unidirectional crossfall and super- elevation
and shall commence at the edges and progress towards the centre for portions
having crossfall on both sides.
Each pass of the roller shall uniformly overlap not less than one- third of the
track made in the preceding pass. During rolling, the grade and crossfall
(camber) shall be checked and any high spots or depressions, which become
apparent, corrected by removing or adding fresh material.

The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5 km per hour. Rolling shall be
continued all the density achieved is at least 98 per cent of the maximum dry
density for the material determined as per IS:2720 (Part 8). The surface of any
layer of material on completion of compaction shall be well closed, free from
movement under compaction equipment and from compaction planes, ridges,
cracks or loose material. All loose, segregated or otherwise defective areas shall
be made good to the full thickness of layer and re -compacted.

e. Typical Sizes of Gabions and Mattresses
The typical sizes of gabions and revet mattresses shall be as per ASTM code A 975.
However, depending on the dimensions of the retaining wall, gabions of suitable size
shall be used as permitted by the Engineer in Charge. The gabions and Mattresses
of length more than 2m shall be divided into cells of 1m length by introducing DT wire
mesh diaphragms.
f. Testing:
The supplier shall issue Manufacturers test Certificates to ensure that the Gabions/
revet mattresses conform to the specifications.
g. Stone Filling for Gabions and Mattresses
Naturally occurring rounded stone or quarried stone are acceptable. The stone
materials with high specific gravity are preferable since the gravity behaviour of the
structure is predominant. To ensure the durability of the structure, the stones must be
weather resistant, non-friable, insoluble and sufficiently hard. These stones shall
have Aggregate Impact Value less than 30 per cent when tested in accordance with
IS:2386 (Part 4) or IS:5640. The most appropriate size of the stone varies from 1.5 to
2.5 times the dimension of the mesh. The stone should be large enough to prevent
its escape through the mesh. Additionally it should be ensured that stones to be used
in gabions/ revet mattresses have individual weight in the range of 15 to 40 kg.
h. Delivery, Storage and handling
1. Gabions in collapsible box form should be delivered to site in bundles weighing
600 kg to 900kg.
2. The products should be stored away from the site traffic to avoid the risk of
accidental damage and should remain packaged until required.
3. Bundles of gabions must be handled with due care to avoid damage to the wire
and the PVC coating.
4. Installation
Procedure for gabions filled insitu:
1. The gabion is opened and unfolded on a hard surface and creases not required
for forming the box pressed out.
2. The front and rear sides, ends and diaphragm are lifted into position to form a
box shape.
3. The edges should be laced together starting from the top corner in a continuous
operation using alternate single and double twists at spacing between 100 mm
and 150 mm. Individual ties of lacing wire must not be used. Alternatively
fasteners can be used for tying the edges together. Manual or pneumatic tool
should be used for fastening.
4. The initial layer of gabions should be placed on a flat surface.
5. A number of gabions are placed in position and secured together as described in
3 above.
6. The end gabion is partly filled with suitable stone to form an end anchor and
bracing wires are fixed at 300mm spacing to prevent the front side from bulging.
The gabions are tensioned by applying a load to the end remote from the anchor
gabion, ensuring the load distributed over whole area of last gabion.
7. Facing stone should be having regular shape and dressed with the help of skilled
mason to get good appearance and alignment.
8. Batter has to be maintained as per the design.
9. One meter high gabions should be filled to one-third height, braced; filled to two
third height and braced again, half meter height gabion requires only one row of
bracing at 250 mm height. The gabion is overfilled by approximately 50 mm to 75
mm to allow for settlement of the infill (due to self weight ). Stones to be used for
filling shall conform to specifications in section 3 (g) indicated above.
10. The mesh lid is folded down, stretched into position and the lid laced to the front
sides and the top of the diaphragms.
11. The remaining row of gabions may then be filled sequentially.
12. It is essential that each gabion is properly laced and fixed to adjacent gabions
above, below and on each side.
Procedure for Revet Mattress laid in dry conditions:
1. The Mattress is opened and unfolded on a levelled surface and creases that
are not required for forming the box pressed out.
2. The front and rear sides, ends and diaphragm are lifted into position to form a
box shape.
3. Mattresses are laid directly onto the ground to be protected, so the slope
must be stable by itself and must not be so steep as to cause the revetment
to slide. These units are normally laid down the slope of the bank, at right
angles to the current. However, if the banks and the bed are to be covered
completely, the units on the bed itself should be laid in the direction of the
flow.
4. The edges are laced together starting from the top corner in a continuous
operation using alternate single and double twists at spacing between 100
mm and 150 mm. Individual ties of lacing wire must not be used. Alternatively
fasteners can be used for tying the edges together. Manual or pneumatic tool
should be used for fastening.
 5. A number of Mattresses are placed in position and secured together as
described in 3 and 4 above.
6. The Mattresses are filled with stones of suitable size about 1.5 to 2.5 times
the dimensions of the mesh. Stones to be used for filling shall conform to
specifications in section 3 (g) indicated above
7. The corners should be filled properly. Compaction is not necessary.
8. The Mattresses are then covered with lids, which are folded down, stretched
into position and laced with usual lacing operation.
9. It is essential that all Mattresses are properly laced and fixed to adjacent
Mattresses along all corners with the same lacing operation.
5. Measurement for Payment
Gabion walls/revet mattresses so constructed shall be measured in cubic meter of
finished work. The contract unit rate for the construction shall cover the cost of
excavation or filling for foundation, double twisted wire mesh, rock filling including
transportation, laying, all labour, testing, technical supervision and all incidentals
necessary for completing the work according to these specifications. The cost also
covers the provision of technical expert advice, design and working details which
shall be arranged by the Contractor. Transportation of rock fill shall be incidental to

4. Storage and Handling of Geotextile

Each roll delivered to site shall be clearly labeled with grade, batch number and wrapped in
material that will protect the geotextile including the ends of rolls from damage due to
shipment, water, sunlight and contaminants. The protective wrapping shall be maintained
during shipment and storage.
During storage, geotextile rolls shall be elevated off the ground and adequately covered to
protect them from site construction damage, precipitation, extended ultraviolet radiation
including sunlight, chemicals that are strong acids or strong bases, flames including welding
sparks, temperatures in excess of 50C, and any other environmental condition that may
damage the physical property values of the Geotextile

5. Equipment
All equipment necessary for the placing of the geotextile shall be approved before the work
begins.

6. Construction Requirements
Installation of geotextile shall be in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The
supplier shall provide a method of statement detailing installation procedure.
A. Site preparation The site shall be prepared by cleaning, grubbing and excavation or
filling to the design grade and compaction. Unevenly planed or broken surfaces should be
regulated with a suitable fine asphalt mix.

B. Installation Geotextile shall be laid smooth without wrinkles or folds on prepared

subgrade. Geotextile installation shall proceed in the direction of construction. Geotextile
shall be laid and overlapped in the directions as shown in plans. On curves, the geotextile
may be folded and cut to accommodate the curve. The fold or overlap of cut pieces shall be
in the direction of construction, and pinned, stapled weighted with cover material.
Atmospheric exposure of geotextile after laying shall not be more than 7 days to minimize
damage potential.

C. Joints and overlaps A minimum overlap of 150 mm shall be provided between the
adjacent rolls and at the transverse joints as well.

D. Prior to covering, the geotextile shall be inspected by Engineer in charge to ensure that the
geotextile has not been damaged during installation. Damaged geotextile has identified by
the Engineer in charge shall be repaired immediately. The damaged area of geotextile shall
be covered with geotextile patch which extends 500 mm beyond the damaged area.

E. The sub-base shall be placed by end dumping onto the geotextile from the edge of the
geotextile. Construction vehicles shall not be allowed directly on the geotextile. The sub-base
shall be placed such that at least minimum specified lift thickness shall be between the
geotextile and the equipment tires or tracks at all times.

7. Method of Measurement
The Geotextile shall be measured by the square meter or fraction thereof in place.
Excavation, backfill, bedding and cover material are separate pay items.

8. Basis of Payment
Unless otherwise noted in the Plans, the accepted quantity of Geotextile complete in place
shall be paid for at the contract unit
