As mentioned before, the project consists of fill and cut areas. The work methodology will follow
the zoning provided.

5. SEQUENCE OF WORKS

With reference to the type of soil, the fines content, the depth of improvement and the project’s
acceptance criteria, we believe that Rapid Impact compaction technique is the right and most
appropriate methodology to improve the mechanical properties of the fill layers and make it
competent enough to bear the load of the projected developments. This technique will be limited to
4m thickness as per SABP-Q-014.

6. GENERAL WORK SEQUENCE

To execute the compaction and soil improvement works, the following sequence will be followed:
Natural grade elevation survey before filling and compaction
• Clearing and grubbing inspections (if any);
• Establish Grids;
• Rough grading activities: Cutting, filling, and Inspections;
• Setting out of sectors, compaction points by GPS;
• RIC compaction as per the setting out drawings numbering sequence
• Post-CPT tests for the compacted area as mentioned in section 9

• Final grading and proof rolling means grading at final levels. No grading will be done if the fill
requires two stages or more of filling/compaction. Grading will be at the final level only.
Request for Inspection (RFI’s) for final inspection will be raised only after the post-CPT has
been conducted, before handing over of the areas to avoid re-work.
• Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) and Inspection Checklist (IC) have to be developed based on
the approved Method Statement as acceptance criteria of each process.
• For areas where Trials & Post CPTs, the Trial/Calibration reports including post treatment
calculations based on the actual post quality control test about the project specifications
shall be submitted to AROMCO for approval
• Project Management Representative (PMT).
• Reports submission including: drawings, post-testing, and results.

Cutting area:

Natural grade elevation survey before cutting or filling and compaction

 Clearing and grubbing inspections (if any);

 Establish Grids;

The Contractor shall cut the area to the required Final Finished Level (FFL).

Upon reaching FFL, the Contractor shall conduct a pre-CPT test and collect soil samples for
laboratory testing and soil classification.

Based on the CPT results and laboratory test reports, the Contractor shall proceed as follows:

a. If very loose soil or soft clay is encountered at FGL, the Contractor shall excavate and replace
up to 1.5 meters of the existing soil with approved select fill material.

b. If sand is found at FGL, the Contractor shall compact the area using a vibratory roller or light
RIC, as appropriate, to achieve the required degree of compaction and conduct field density test
for roller compaction and CPT test for RIC compaction.

c. Where the existing material at FGL meets the specification for fill material, as confirmed by
laboratory test results, the Contractor shall compact the area using a roller compactor to the
required density and conduct field density test for acceptance.

Following compaction, the Contractor shall verify the levels and perform Field Density Tests (FDT)
for final acceptance by the COMPANY.

All compaction activities shall be carried out in accordance with the Saudi Aramco Engineering
Standard and project specifications and approved method statement.

7. SPECIFIC SEQUENCE OF WORK

Accordingly, we may identify the following:

For Fill Areas:
Pre-CPT testing will be performed for main site RIC fill area. Pre-CPT needs to achieve the design
criteria; no compaction is required. Final Grading and Proof rolling to be provided before execution
of next activity. If the pre-CPT test results do not meet the required relative density, the Contractor
shall follow the geotechnical engineer’s recommendations, which may include the removal of loose
surface soil and additional compaction. The re-compaction and pre-CPT testing shall be repeated
until the specified requirements are met.

• Submission for reports

The post-CPT tests will be witnessed by a 3rd party company & ARAMCO & CPECC
representative, reports will be stamped and signed by the 3rd party company.

To execute the compaction works, the following sequence is to be followed;

1. Full ground survey on each area to be compacted.
2. Establishing grids/blocks and zones for the areas
3. Setting out compaction points by GPS
4. RIC compaction as per the setting out drawings numbering sequence.
Contractor will start backfilling the entire main site area where the RIC compaction method will be
used. To maintain progress, the contractor intends to continue backfilling, instead of limiting it to
the trial area.

8. POST-TESTING AND REPORTING

To ensure the stability of the CPT equipment and trafficability, the top surface of the soil shall be
leveled.
In case of presence of fine-grained materials with a percentage of fines more than 20%, then the
existing soil can’t be used to fill the craters and an imported granular material shall be mixed with
the fine material in order to reach an acceptable fine content percentage. This platform could be
used to backfill the RIC craters during compaction.
All backfilling material required prior, during or after the compaction works should meet the
following specifications, SABP-Q-014 section 5:
 Hard, inert, free of clay and organic materials, and well graded
 Containing not more than 20% by weight passing the No. 200 sieve
 Have a maximum particle size of 50 mm.
Rapid Impact Compaction (sometimes referred to as shallow dynamic compaction or rapid
dynamic compaction) can compact soils in lifts up to 4 m provided the following:
 Presence of select fill materials.
 Particles finer than No. 200 sieve shall not exceed 20%.
 Trials to be undertaken (prior of the main production works) for verifying the suitability of such
method and the parameters to be utilized.
 In-situ Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) should be used for verifying compliance to project
specifications (acceptance criteria are related to the requirements of modified protector
Density as per Section 6.3.6). Such tests should be undertaken on treated ground between
Rapid Impact Compaction points as per ASTM D5778. See Section 6.4.2.6 for use of a
method statement for compaction procedure with reduced testing requirements.
 The post-CPT test shall be conducted in each zone, comprising approximately 15 tests per
