7.2 Existing Services and Facilities:

7.2.1. Before commencement of the work, ascertain the nature and location of all
existing above and underground services at site by visual survey and
reviewing the service layout drawing (if available)
7.2.2. If any protection, re-routing, termination or removals of services are
required for the smooth progressing of work, it shall be discussed and written
approval shall be obtained from COMPANY as appropriate. For service
protection, approved method of protection shall be adopted.

Services/as warning sign, to restrict the movement of the equipment.
7.3 Survey:

7.3.1Do the necessary survey to mark the area, install/provide markers,

stakes, and establishes the elevation to be used as the reference point.
7.3.2 All lines and grades shall be located, established and marked by the
Surveyor for specific use during construction stage or as necessary for the
construction operation.
7.3.3 Establish and protect sufficient number of station to re-establish the stations
if they are disturbed during work.

7.4.3 Fill material shall be placed in lifts not exceeding 200mm (8inches) in
loose depth, other lift thickness may be approved by the appropriate Saudi Aramco
inspection representative based on a field test section using the intended compaction
equipment.

7.4.4 All other fill shall be compacted to a density equal as shown in the drawings or
equal to that of adjacent in-situ material as appropriate.

7.4.5 Compaction shall begin only after the fill or backfill has been property placed and
the material to be compacted is at the proper moisture content, +/- 3% of the
Optimum moisture content per ASTM. However, when ASTM/ASTM is the
Appropriate test Procedure, there is no applicable optimum moisture content.

7.4.6 Compaction Water: Water used for compaction of fill material shall be reasonably
free of salt, oil, acid, alkalis, organic matter, or other deleterious substances. Use of
water with a TDS in excesses of 10,000ppm such brackish water, seawater or water
obtained from ground pits such as water is not available.

7.4.7 Compaction by water jetting or flooding is not permitted for most fill material.
However, flooding may be used if the fill material is cohesion less freely draining sand.
7.4.8 In no case shall compaction be allowed on slopes greater than 1 (v) to 5 (H)
(20% slope).A series of horizontal benches, steps, or terraces, at least 3048mm (10 ft)
wide, should be cut in to existing and natural slopes before adding new fill.
Construction of new slopes shall be accomplished by compacting horizontal fill
layers at least 1 roller width beyond the design edge of the slope and then trimming
back to achieve the final slope dimensions.
7.4.9 Compacted surfaces of fill and backfill shall be finish graded to the cross-section,
lines, grades, and elevations as indicated in the drawing.7.4.10 After compaction
procedure is done, a minimum of at least one compaction / in-place density and
moisture content test must be performed on every lift of fill, and further Placement shall
not be allowed until the required density has been achieved.
