(a) Soft Murrum

(b) Hard Murrum

GENERAL: Excavation for trenches shall generally refer to open excavation in all sorts of soil soft / hard murrum sand

etc. in wet or dry condition for pipe laying work.

The excavation shall be planned and carried out so that progress of trench excavation shall be adequate to achieve

per instruction of engineer in charge. Generally the trenches shall be kept 60 Cm. Wider than the outer diameter of pipe

line (Incl. Coating.) to be laid and depth of excavation to confirm the gradients shown in approved plan. Trenches shall

be excavated to the exact width and depth according to the size of pipe and the site shall be left vertical as far as

possible. The pipe trenches shall be taken sufficiently deep to give a minimum cushion of 1.0 Mt. Above the top of pipe.
