Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
Construction Operations
The limits of embankment/sub-grade shall be marked by fixing batter pegs on both sides at regular intervals as guides before
commencing the earthwork. The embankment/sub-grade shall be built sufficiently wider than the design dimension so that
surplus material may be trimmed, ensuring that the remaining material is to the desired density and in position specified and
conforms to the specified side slopes.
If the foundation of the embankment is in an area with stagnant water, and in the opinion of the Engineer it is feasible to
remove it, the same shall be removed by bailing out or pumping, as directed by the Engineer and the area of the
embankment foundation shall be kept dry. Care shall be taken to discharge the drained water so as not to cause damage to
the works, crops or any other property. Due to any negligence on the part of the Bidders, if any such damage is caused, it
shall be the sole responsibility of the Bidders to repair/restore it to original condition or compensate for the damage at his
Stripping and Storing Topsoil
When so directed by the Engineer, the topsoil from all areas of cutting and from all areas to be covered by embankment
foundation shall be stripped to specified depths not exceeding 150 mm and stored in stockpiles of height not exceeding 2 m
for covering embankment slopes, cut slopes and other disturbed areas where re-vegetation is desired. Topsoil shall not be
unnecessarily subjected to traffic either before stripping or when in a stockpile. Stockpiles shall not be surcharged or
otherwise loaded and multiple handling shall be kept to a minimum.
Compacting Ground Supporting Embankment/Sub-Grade
Where necessary, the original ground shall be levelled to facilitate placement of first layer of embankment, scarified, mixed
with water and then compacted by rolling in so as to achieve minimum dry density as given in Table 3-2.
In case where the difference between the sub-grade level (top of the sub-grade on which pavement rests) and ground level
is less than 0.5 m and the ground does not have 97 percent relative compaction with respect to the dry density (as given in
Table 3-2), the ground shall be loosened upto a level 0.5 m below the sub-grade level, watered and compacted in layers to
achieve dry density not less than 97 percent relative compaction as given in Table 3-2.
Where so directed by the Engineer, any unsuitable material occurring in the embankment foundation (500 mm portion just
below the sub-grade) shall be removed, suitably disposed and replaced by approved materials laid in layers to the required
degree of compaction.
Any foundation treatment specified for embankments especially high embankments, resting on suspect foundations as
revealed by borehole logs shall be carried out in a manner and to the depth as desired by the Engineer. Where the ground
on which an embankment is to be built has any of such material types (a) to (f) in Clause 305.2.1.1 at least 500 mm of such
material must be removed and replaced by acceptable fill material before embankment construction commences.
Spreading Material in Layers and Bringing to Appropriate Moisture Content
The embankment and sub-grade material shall be spread in layers of uniform thickness in the entire width with a motor
grader. The compacted thickness of each layer shall not be more than 250 mm when vibratory roller/vibratory soil
compactor is used and not more than 200 mm when 80-100 kN static roller is used. The motor grader blade shall have
hydraulic control suitable for initial adjustment and maintain the same so as to achieve the specific slope and grade.
Successive layers shall not be placed until the layer under construction has been thoroughly compacted to the specified
requirements as in Table 3-2 and got approved by the Engineer. Each compacted layer shall be finished parallel to the final
cross-section of the embankment.
Moisture content of the material shall be checked at the site of placement prior to commencement of compaction; if found
to be out of agreed limits, the same shall be made good. Where water is required to be added in such constructions, water
shall be sprinkled from a water tanker fitted with sprinkler capable of applying water uniformly with a controllable rate of
flow to variable widths of surface but without any flooding. The water shall be added uniformly and thoroughly mixed in soil
by blading, using disc harrow until a uniform moisture content is obtained throughout the depth of the layer.
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
If the material delivered to the roadbed is too wet, it shall be dried, by aeration and exposure to the sun, till the moisture
content is acceptable for compaction. Should circumstances arise, where owing to wet weather, the moisture content
cannot be reduced to the required amount by the above procedure, compaction work shall be suspended.
Moisture content of each layer of soil shall be checked in accordance with IS:2720 (Part 2), and unless otherwise mentioned,
shall be so adjusted, making due allowance for evaporation losses, that at the time of compaction it is in the range of
percent above to 2 percent below the optimum moisture content determined in accordance with IS:2720 (Part 8) as the case
may be. Expansive clays shall, however, be compacted at moisture content corresponding to the specified dry density, but
on the wet side of the optimum moisture content obtained from the laboratory compaction curve.
After adding the required amount of water, the soil shall be processed by means of graders, harrows, rotary mixers or as
otherwise approved by the Engineer until the layer is uniformly wet.
Clods or hard lumps of earth shall be broken to have a maximum size of 75 mm when being placed in the embankment and a
maximum size of 50 mm when being placed in the subgrade.
Embankment and other areas of fill shall, unless otherwise required in the Contract or permitted by the Engineer, be
constructed evenly over their full width and their fullest possible extent and the Bidders shall control and direct construction
plant and other construction vehicles. Damage by construction plant and other vehicular traffic shall be made good by the
Bidders with material having the same characteristics and strength of the material before it was damaged.
Embankments and unsupported fills shall not be constructed with steeper side slopes or to greater widths than those shown
in the drawings, except to permit adequate compaction at the edges before trimming back, or to obtain the final profile
following any settlement of the fill and the underlying material,
Whenever fill is to be deposited against the face of a natural slope, or sloping earthworks face including embankments,
cuttings, other fills and excavations steeper than 1 vertical to 4 horizontal, such faces shall be benched as per Clause 305.4.1
immediately before placing the subsequent fill.
All permanent faces of side slopes of embankments and other areas of fill shall, subsequent to any trimming operations, be
reworked and sealed to the satisfaction of the Engineer by tracking a tracked vehicle, considered suitable by the Engineer, on
the slope or any other method approved by the Engineer.
Only the compaction equipment approved by the Engineer shall be employed to compact the different material types
encountered during construction. Static three-wheeled roller, self propelled single drum vibratory roller, tandem vibratory
roller, pneumatic tyre roller, pad foot
roller, etc., of suitable size and capacity as approved by the Engineer shall be used for the different types and grades of
materials required to be compacted either individually or in suitable combinations.
The compaction shall be done with the help of self-propelled single drum vibratory roller or pad foot vibratory roller of 80 to
100 kN static weight or heavy pneumatic tyre roller of adequate capacity capable of achieving the required compaction. The
Bidders shall demonstrate the efficacy of the equipment he intends to use by carrying out compaction trials. The procedure
to be adopted for the site trials shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval.
Earthmoving plant shall not be accepted as compaction equipment nor shall the use of a lighter category of plant to provide
any preliminary compaction to assist the use of heavier plant be taken into account.
Each layer of the material shall be thoroughly compacted to the densities specified in Table 3-2. Subsequent layers shall be
placed only after the finished layer has been tested and accepted by the Engineer. The Engineer may permit measurement of
field dry density by a nuclear moisture/density gauge used in accordance with agreed procedure and provided the gauge is
calibrated to give results identical to that obtained from tests in accordance with IS:2720 (Part 28). A record of the same
shall be maintained by the Bidders.
When density measurements reveal any soft areas in the embankment/sub-grade/earthen shoulders, further compaction
shall be carried out as directed by the Engineer. If inspite of that the specified compaction is not achieved, the material in
the soft areas shall be removed and replaced by approved material, compacted using appropriate mechanical means such as
light weight vibratory roller, double drum walk behind roller, vibratory plate compactor, trench compactor or vibratory
tamper to the density requirements and satisfaction of the Engineer.
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation
The surface of the embankment/sub-grade at all times during construction shall be maintained at such a crossfall (not flatter
than that required for effective drainage of an earthen surface) as will shed water and prevent ponding.
Repairing of Damages Caused by Rain/Spillage of Water
The soil in the affected portion shall be removed in such areas as directed by the Engineer before next layer is laid and
refilled in layers and compacted using appropriate mechanical means such as small vibratory roller, plate compactor or
power rammer to achieve the required. If the cut is not sufficiently wide for use of required mechanical means for
compaction, the same shall be widened suitably to permit their use for proper compaction. Tests shall be carried out as
directed by the Engineer to ascertain the density requirements of the repaired area. The work of repairing the damages
including widening of the cut, if any, shall be carried out by the Bidders at his own cost, including the arranging of
machinery/equipment for the purpose.
Finishing Operations
Finishing operations shall include the work of shaping and dressing the shoulders/verge/ roadbed and side slopes to conform
to the alignment, levels, cross-sections and dimensions shown on the drawings or as directed by the Engineer subject to the
surface tolerance described in Clause 902. Both the upper and lower ends of the side slopes shall be rounded off to improve
appearance and to merge the embankment with the adjacent terrain.
The topsoil, removed and conserved earlier shall be spread over the fill slopes as per directions of the Engineer to facilitate
the growth of vegetation. Slopes shall be roughened and moistened slightly prior to the application of the topsoil in order to
provide satisfactory bond. The depth of the topsoil shall be sufficient to sustain plant growth, the usual thickness being from
When earthwork operations have been substantially completed, the road area shall be cleared of all debris, and ugly scars in
the construction area responsible for objectionable appearance eliminated.
Construction of Embankment and Sub-grade under Special Conditions
Earthwork for Widening Existing Road Embankment
When an existing embankment and/or sub-grade is to be widened and its slopes are steeper than 1 vertical on 4 horizontal,
continuous horizontal benches, each at least 300 mm wide, shall be cut into the old slope for ensuring adequate bond with
the fresh embankment/subgrade material to be added. The material obtained from cutting of benches could be utilized in
the widening of the embankment/subgrade. However, when the existing slope against which the fresh material is to be
placed is flatter than 1 vertical on 4 horizontal, the slope surface may only be ploughed or scarified instead of resorting to
Where the width of the widened portions is insufficient to permit the use of conventional rollers, compaction shall be
carried out with the help of light weight vibratory roller, double drum walk behind roller, vibratory plate compactor or
vibratory tamper or any other appropriate equipment approved by the Engineer. End dumping of material from trucks for
widening operations shsll be avoided except in difficult circumstances when the extra width is too narrow to permit the
movement of any other types of hauling equipment.
Earthwork for Embankment and Sub-Grade to be Placed Against Sloping Ground
Where an embankment/subgrade is to be placed against sloping ground, the latter shall be appropriately benched or
ploughed/scarified before placing the embankment/sub-grade material. Extra earthwork involved in benching or due to
ploughing/ scarifying etc. shall be considered incidental to the work.
For wet conditions, benches with slightly inward fall and subsoil drains at the lowest point shall be provided as per the
drawings, before the fill is placed against sloping ground.
Earthwork over Existing Road Surface
Where the embankment is to be placed over an existing road surface, the work shall be carried out as indicated below:
i) If the existing road surface is of granular type and lies within 1 m of the new formation levels, it shall be scarified to a
depth of 50 mm or as directed so as to provide ample bond between the old and new material ensuring that at least 500 mm
portion below the top of new sub-grade level is compacted to the desired density; ii) If the existing road surface is of
bituminous type or cement concrete and lies within 1 m of the new formation level, the bituminous or cement concrete
layer shall be removed completely; iii) If the level difference between the existing road surface and the new formation level
