necessary, depending on site conditions.

4.5 Ground improvement works shall be completed before proceeding

with the filling of embankments. (Separate method statement will be
submitted for each type of ground improvement work)

4.6 One sample will be taken for every 20,000 cu.m of original soil or
borrow pit to be tested at Geolab laboratory at Tapah for the following
tests:
a) Sieve analysis (Form: DRB-F-E004)
b) Particle size distribution (Form: DRB-F-E015)
c) Plastic and liquid limit (Form: DRB-F-E010)
d) Soil compaction test (Form: DRB-F-E007)
e) CBR test (Form: DRB-F-E016)

4.7 Material cut from ROW that is found to be unsuitable for use shall be
spread out evenly within the ROW but outside the permanent works area
subject to approval of SE.

4.8 The Surveyor will peg the top of the cut, toe line for embankment

thickness of filling.

4.9 Trial compaction if required by SE will be carried out.

4.10 Suitable fill shall be laid in layers of loose thickness not exceeding

specification.

4.12 Berm drain shall be constructed if required to protect the

embankment slope from erosion and turfing works will commence after
