Topographic Benchmarks
The working group will find on the existing benchmarks in the area based on which the other
reference points will be established for accurate measurements.
The team will use the EGS84 (UTM 34N) projection system and the EGM2008 geoid for
gravimetric correction of elevations. The measurements will be carried out by a Base-Rover.
The data of the area benefits from the measurements of all measured points that cover the
area of the project will be recorded. A table will be compiled with the non-closures of each
measured station to store the NEH (XYZ) differences and will be kept in the file.
At this stage, in addition to the control, the frequency of the reference bases will be carried
out in the most strategic segments of the works so that the surveyor’s access to the area where
he will perform the measurements will be quick and practical with any instrument that will
be equipped. The measurement method at this stage will be of higher accuracy "Static

Measurement" and "Fast Static".
Five bases will be built with concrete columns reinforced with iron, which will be determined
in safe places that are not affected by the works and will be settled on the ground with a stable
base. These 5 main bases will have the possibility of directly mounting any topographical
instrument for performing measurements. The figure below shows a similar example:
These foundations will otherwise be called bases and all other surveying points will refer to
them. Each base should be visible to at least the nearest station but also to other stations. The
position of these bases should be under open sky and not covered by high vegetation.
The bases positions should be set outside the road or the objects affected by the works, while
the distances between each other should vary from 100 to 300m according to the case.
The base should be constructed over a stable rock foundation. If there is no such place, a pit
1m x 1m x 0.5m is opened and filled with compacted gravel to strengthen the foundation.
The bases will be made of concrete with a foundation of 0.5 m x 0.5m x 0.3m and in the
center circular plastic pipes with diameter 200 or 300 mm filled with concrete will be
mounted vertically.
The iron spike should have a diameter of 10 to 12 mm, 80-100 cm long and should appear at
least 1 cm above the concrete.
At least 3 days after the bench-marking bases have been concreted, GPS measurements will
begin.

Surveying measurements in the field will be conducted in three stages:
Stage 1
Static measurements between the 5 main bases will be carried out with 5 GPS receptions
which will measure respectively from 1 hour at the same time. This measurement will be
carried out 3 times in different periods at the best times that will be selected according to a
software that determines the times with the most optimal positions and geometry of the
satellites over the area where the measurements are required. After the processing of the static
measurements and obtaining the corrections, the documentation of the final coordinates and
quotas for these 5 bases will be carried out.
Stage 2
In the main reference monument, a reference GPS receiver will be placed that performs
continuous static measurements. Each of the secondary foundations closest to the main
monument where the base receiver is located will be measured with the "Fast Static" method
with a measurement of 8-15 minutes.
Stage 3
All foundations (main monuments and secondary foundations) will be completed round-trip
leveling with electronic levels and in various levels that has barcode reading. At the end of these
3 phases of measurements in the field and processing in the office, the final table of coordinates
and quotas will be compiled for each reference base on which the topographic works of the object
as a whole will be supported.
Note:
For documentary effect and cartographic reasons, a "VRS" measurement will also be
performed according to the ALRPOS system for all bases and coordinates will be noted
according to the following projection systems:
a) UTM 34N
b) Gauss-Kruger
c) KRGJSH
The survey teams will be organized according to a hierarchy centered on the topographical
coordination office at the site that reports to the Construction Manager and field measurement
groups. The main tasks of the topographical team will be as follows:
a) Guaranteeing the basis of the referral

VAT. No: J94416206R
The office will process the data of the vertical and horizontal geometry of the road axis, its
transverse profiles, works of art and all the details that need to be marked on the ground.
Managers will be reported for any irregularity or ambiguity of the project. Problems
encountered in the field will be reported. The office will provide the instruments that will be
distributed to the topographic groups in the field. The instruments will be calibrated and
certified by the respective production or representation companies. For marking the
foundations of structures and road layers, each group will be equipped with a GPS rover
receiver with 2 frequencies for marking and surveying with the RTK method. The instruments
will be equipped with an extra package for road works. Option 1 will be the automation of
heavy machinery with GPS. The topographical groups will check the accuracy of the works
after each stage of work performed by heavy machinery. The topographic devices (or
machines with GPS) will have a base transmission station which will be installed in the
construction site (Monument Control) with long-wave radio for the transmission of the RTK
signal throughout the construction area of the object from the first kilometer to to the last one.
Each group will cover 5 km of works. For the marking and monitoring of works of art, 5 other
topographical groups will be determined with a total station of angular accuracy l"-3"
Optical or laser levels will be taken with the help of work technicians, who will assist the
topographical engineer and reference points in the field, will perform level checks and
maintain slopes during digging works, filling road layers, connecting iron, etc. .
The topographic reports for the measurements of the completed works will be periodic and
will be documented in the relevant files.

8.5 Earthworks
Excavation works, filling for the body of the road and filling behind the walls
These works will include the items foreseen in the preventive project for this section. All excavation
works, demolition of existing structures, scarification, etc., will be carried out with the relevant means of
germination, scarification, etc. approved by the project manager in full compliance with the sketches
given in the project (maintaining the quotas, dimensions, etc.). The transport of the material resulting
from excavation and other processes will be transported to the point determined by the relevant local
authorities. If the excavation depth exceeds that specified in the project, it will be refilled with suitable
material in accordance with the technical specifications of the project. Fillings will also be made
according to the preventive project and the technical specifications of the contract.
The site investigation will establish the engineering properties of the ground on which the structure will
be founded and provide details on bearing capacity. This information will be communicated to the site
engineer.
If the site investigation identifies any contamination of the ground from previous industrial uses,
details of this will be given to the site engineer.
Provide utility services drawings showing the location of any buried services.
Where work has to be undertaken close by or beneath overhead lines, inquires will be made with the line
operator to establish whether the line can be made dead or diverted. Where lines remain live ensure that
plant is selected or modified so that it cannot reach the lines.
Prior to any work taking place on site the site engineer will:
Use cable detection tools to accurately identify service locations on the ground and mark same.
Ensure that vehicle routes are carefully planned so that plant does not have to approach close to
the edge of the excavation. These routes need to be clearly marked.
Consider site access from the public road onto and around the site before vehicles arrive on site,
taking into account the site traffic management plan, the designated work area for delivery vehicles
and the storage area for materials. Clearly identify and communicate this information to the site
engineer.
Filling for the body of the road
Pre-start checks:
"BAMI HOLDING" Sh.pk, Head Office: Rruga e Durrësit, behind Ring Center, Floor I, Tirana, Albania, 35
Mob. + 355 69 404 9119, e-mail: [email protected]
VAT. No: J94416206R
The area to be excavated will be clearly marked on the surface using lime.
Physical barriers will be erected around the excavation where appropriate.
The site engineer will liaise with the client/contractor to ensure that any live services on
the site have been identified and clearly marked. Where necessary hand-digging measures
will be used to expose existing services.
A 360 deg excavator will be used to dig deep excavation.
The material from the excavation will be loaded into a dumper and tipped away from the
working area so it does not apply a surcharge to the side of the excavation.
The dumper will be fitted with roll-over protection and the driver must wear the seat belt.
No edge tipping is to take place
The foreman will assist the excavator and lead him in the safe operation to ensure there
are no unexpected objects
Loose soil from both the base and the sides of the excavation are to be removed prior to
completing the works.
Preparatory works
Picketing of the body in filling
The body of the road in the filling will be pointed, it will be done with the side of
the screed that will show the slope of the project with a tolerance of 10 cm so that
the cutting of the slopes can be done at a later stage
The filled body of the road will be honored with layers of suitable material
according to the technical specifications. The filling will be raised uniformly along
the entire width of the road, the layers will all be wider than that specified in the
project in order to have tolerance to make the cut with an excavator.
The filling of the road body will be cut according to the cross section specified in
the project with the excavator equipped with the specification bucket for this
process.
The thickness of the layers will be chosen based on the technical specifications,
the budget approved for the project, the type of tool and the category of the thrown
material. Pouring and compaction of the subsequent layer will begin after the
current layer is certified as completed according to the approved criteria.
The material brought to the site will be unloaded at the site without delay only if
the project manager instructs it to be deposited for a short time, provided that it is
not exposed to continuous high humidity.

VAT. No: J94416206R
The construction of the road body in filling will be stopped if the humidity exceeds
the allowed value in the amount of 10% above. In those layers where the humidity
has exceeded this value, the placement of other layers will not be allowed until the
water is removed.
In those materials that have the presence of frozen water or are covered with ice
flakes, it will not be allowed to continue filling.
During the heavy snowfall, the filling works will be stopped and to resume the
work, the snow will be removed from the construction site.
The following figure schematically shows how the filling of the road will be
carried out according to the cross section
Compaction
Compaction will begin immediately after the grader spreads the dumped material.
The congestion will start from the sides towards the center

Compression tests
The company will carry out compression tests in order to determine the thickness
of the layers and the number of roller passes in order to guarantee the compression
values in the specifications.
During compaction, the site engineer will take into account:
The thickness of the compacted layers
The possibility of changing the thickness in coordination with the supervisor in
case of soils that deviate from the specifications.
Determination of the number of passes for each type of material
Preliminary activities
1. Prepare, check and approve the implementation drawings for the excavation works
for the structures for approval by the Supervisor
2. Marking is done (it can be done in advance) to see the situation of the existing terrain.
3. Marks are set on the ground that limit the excavation area, where the minimum
distance between the marks will be about 20m and will be embedded up to the
required excavation depth.
4. Access entrances for heavy vehicles such as trucks and excavators are prepared,
which will be in accordance with traffic management plans and material storage
rules.
5. The existing infrastructure networks are updated and their evidence is made with
distinguishing marks for those hidden in the ground.
6. The slope of the excavation slope is confirmed by looking at the real situation of
the terrain and geological conditions in order to determine additional measures
that may be necessary.
7. In case of presence of water, measures will be taken to remove it with pumps and
other systems that will be specified later.
Sequence of Works
1. The upper layer of soil is removed as stated in the method of cleaning the
construction site.
2. Drilling is done according to the drawings, within the marked
boundaries and the depth of the marking indicators.
3. If the head of the structure is less than 1.2m from where the digging will

start, the digging will be done in two stages as in the figure below in
order to reach the set slope
1. The levels of excavations and escarpments for the first phase are checked in
order to ensure the continuation in the second phase.
2. Excavation will be carried out by excavators that have the ability to rotate 360
degrees accompanied by a person who gives instructions all the time.
3. In the case of the appearance of rocky masses (from the geological survey) and
none results, excavations will be undertaken with a hammer excavator or a
blaster accompanied by all the relevant documentation.
4. Material that is approved by the engineer as suitable for other uses will be
collected in designated temporary storage locations.
5. The material at the end of digging or filling the space will be transported by
self-loading trucks to the approved storage locations.
6. At the end of excavations, quotas will be checked and positioning will be done
with the topography of the excavated area.
1. The etched surface is cut according to the profiles given by the project
2. Except in the case of rocks, spraying with water and compaction with vibrating
equipment will be done before placing the leveling layer of gravel, mesh or
concrete specified in the project.
3. In those areas where the engineer requires a field investigation, tests will be
carried out in order to confirm the characteristics of the soil.
4. Every area that has the presence of very weak soils will be replaced with
suitable material either from digging or quarrying.
5. In the case of rocky surfaces, the terrain will be washed before placing the
"BAMI HOLDING" Sh.pk, Head Office: Rruga e Durrësit, behind Ring Center, Floor I, Tirana, Albania, 39

leveling layer.
6. It will not be allowed to continue the works in those areas where the
temperature is very high without spraying with water in order to eliminate the
thermal cracks in the foundation of the structure.
Filling works
1. The filling will be done with non-cohesive granular material and compacted
according to technical specifications.
2. The material will be unloaded by the self-unloading trucks and will be spread
by the bulldozer in certain layers in front ranging from 50-100cm.
3. The material is compacted with iron-iron compaction rollers
4. The compression will start from the lowest quota to the highest quota and from
passage to passage there will be an overlap of violations with a minimum of
10%
5. The set of the rare pass will be done only after the entire surface has been
compacted and the last compaction will be done without vibration to preserve
the smooth surface.
6. After the filling and compaction of the material is finished, tests will be carried
out to verify the compaction at different points of the surface so that the result
is accurate.
7. The same procedure will be repeated for the other layers so that the
compression and the entire filling volume is uniform.
8. Material with low aggressiveness will be used for filling if approved by the
supervisor.

of the beam or put through special holes to make it possible to unify them with the beams.
Before the construction of the braces, the drainage system determined for this purpose should
be installed.
The road layers will follow the same steps that we have explained in the case of the

methodology prepared for the road layers.
After laying, the surface of the asphalt concrete layer must be smooth, flat and even, without
cracks, bumps or waves, without porosity and changes in the quotas, slope and thickness of the
layer, from those given in the implementation project . The changes in the side quotas of the road
should not be more than 20mm compared to the quotas determined in the transverse profile of the
project. The waves measured with a 3 m length both in the transverse direction and in the
longitudinal direction of the road should not are more than 5 mm. The changes in the thickness of
the layer compared to those defined in the project should not be more than 10%. The control that
determines the main qualities of asphalt concrete placed and compacted in the work are determined
by laboratory tests. For this purpose, for each completed road segment or for amounts up to 2500
m2 of asphalt concrete paved, samples of 25 x 25 cm size are taken on which laboratory tests are
performed to determine the physical-mechanical properties. Their values are compared to the
requirements of the project or to STASH 660-87. For each segment of road paved with asphalt
concrete, a technical report must be kept, where all visual, measurement and laboratory control
data are reflected and approved by the representatives of the investor and the implementing
company, when the quality indicators are within the limits required by the designer or technical
conditions.

The laboratory tests that will be done for the layers and substrates will be according to those
specified in the technical conditions of the project. Their samples will be taken and analyzed in
the presence of all parties. The materials used will be approved first by the supervisor.
Additional measures should be taken, such as: rope connection, alternative platforms in the case
when the existing structure does not provide the necessary safety for the worker.
Instruct all the workers who will deal with excavation and concreting works and to check the
level of understanding of the given information.
Other risks:
- Risks from machinery: asphalt paver, auto-bitumer, roller, grader, mini road, asphalt
saw, asphalt milling machine, etc.
The person in charge of technical security must check at any time before the start of the work in
case any of the workers is not clear about the risks that may threaten them and notify the
manager of the works in case that worker is not able to carry out the work with responsibility.
Each beginning of the working week, the technical security manager will evaluate the possible
risks that the workers may face and prepare an emergency plan in case any of those risks occur.
Each beginning of the work week, the technical security manager will instruct the workers on the
rules of technical security and health at work and will evaluate if the workers have understood
the informational material that was given to them.

Description of activities
Dewatering
In very fine soils or in drainages on the side of the road, drainage can be achieved using a geotextile
side filter with polyester or propylene. The materials to be used will be approved by the Engineer.
The different pieces of geotextile will be sewn together to form the drainage layer. In case the
sewing will not be done, the pieces will overlap at least 50 cm. The lower part of the geotextile in
contact with the end of the drainage path and for a height of at least 20 cm on the side will be
saturated with hot bitumen (or will be made liquid with suitable solvents that do not affect the
support) with a minimum rate of 2 kg/m2. Saturation can be done before the installation of the
geotextile on the track or even after it is placed in place. The geotextile will be left outside the
track in one
quantity necessary for folding in two over the drainage (2 times the width of the track). The paved
track will be further filled with the broken, clean and uniform layer material, up to 10 mm of a
cushion that exceeds the 70 mm sieve. The material will completely fill the cavity in order to make
the geotextile adhere as much as possible to the track walls. After the completion of the filling of
the geotextile, the elongated part will be overlapped and covered with compacted soil.
For the realization of the aqueduct lines and secondary lines KUZ and KUB, digging will be done
with the machines necessary for the channels in the quotas and dimensions defined in the project.
For the water supply lines, the pipes will be welded according to the specifications given in the
project. They will also be covered with sand in order to protect the pipes from damage. After that,
the canal will be filled with inert materials. During this time, the construction of the wells and the
installation of the relevant equipment needed in them is done. At the end of all the installations,
the line pressure will be tested. The same work methodology is used for the rainwater and waste
water secondary lines.
Polyethylene pipes are for water pipes. Type, pressure and outer diameter according to the
project.The pipes will be supplied complete with connectors and other necessary accessories.
Except modified or added as here, all Polyethylene pipes will meet national and international
standards. Each tube must have the following data permanently marked on it: Date of production
Manufacturer's name. The mark must be embodied in the tube or written with water-resistant ink.
Polyethylene pipes will be laid in the canals, depending on the climatic conditions and the soil at
a depth which is given in the project (in the longitudinal and lateral profile).
The width of the channel sole is conditioned by the outside diameter of the pipeline as well as by
the necessity of creating a double working space (minimum working space). Keeping in mind the
aforementioned data of length h and width, the end of the pit should create the optimal conditions,
so that the line overlaps in its entire length. Surpluses should be divided equally if possible, thus
eliminating the pressure exerted by them. The sole of the channel must not be smoothed. If this
sole is polished, then before placing it, it must be doubled, pressed or covered with a

special layer. The minimum laying depth is usually dictated by intersections with pipelines
existing utilities (water, electricity, telephone, rainwater, etc.). In roads with heavy traffic, it is not
recommended that the pipes be laid with a coverage of less than 1.0 m. In such cases, a concrete
coating can be proposed. The permitted opening depth of the channel section is given in the project.
Care must be taken that the end of the channel where the pipes will be laid is flat, without stones
and strong enough. If this is not ensured when digging with an excavator, then the last 20 cm must
be dug by hand.
The requirements below are basic and must be taken into account if we want to
we lay the PVC pipes in accordance with the standards;
- the use of a specialized staff
- sufficient equipment with adequate layering tools
- constant supervision
- regular admission until the sterilization test
Regarding black and white water drainage, the pipes will be supplied as a set together with
connectors and other necessary accessories. All PVC pipes will meet national and international
standards.
In general, PVC pipes are laid in channels, depending on the climatic and soil conditions, at a
depth which is given in the project (in the longitudinal and lateral profile). The width of the channel
sole is conditioned by the outside diameter of the pipeline as well as by the necessity of creating a
double working space (minimum working space). Keeping in mind the aforementioned data of
length h and width, the end of the pit should create the optimal conditions, so that the line overlaps
in its entire length. Surpluses should be divided equally if possible, thus eliminating the pressure
exerted by them.
While the concrete pipes will be laid according to the technical specifications of the project.

Corrugated Metal Culverts (if any)
For the installation of corrugated pipes, the following instructions will be followed:
1. Prepare the pad on which the pipeline will be placed
2. For the joining parts of the two pipes, a rubber sheet will be used to wrap around
the pipe section.
3. The support will be fixed with tapes on both sides.
4. In the lower part of the pipe, the winding will be placed in the second corrugated
part of the pipe.
5. We put the other pipe in such a way that the winding caught the second section
of the corrugated pipe.
6. For a greater safety in the joint, a rubber band will be placed for the joint of the
pipes.
7. The position of placing the fascias is determined
8. Pull the straps on both sides of the tube
9. At the end, an internal inspection is done to make sure that there is a uniform
contact of the wrapping rubber.
During the placement of the pipes, a slope and direction will be maintained in relation
to the other pipes. Any deviation from the direction and level would cause problems in
the pulling of the rubber pipe wraps. The larger the diameter of the pipe, the more

important it becomes to maintain the slope and direction of the pipes.
In general, pipes with a diameter greater than 1.4 m, in the connecting parts and in the
pipes, there are corresponding markings with mummers so that there are no confusions
during the connection.
The cushion on which the pipe will be supported will have a granulometry not
greater than 20 mm and can be rock material, sand, broken concrete, etc. The
thickness of this layer will depend on the diameter of the pipe and will be 1/10 of
it.
The material that will be used to fill the upper part of the pipe will have a
granulometry not greater than 10 mm and this layer will have a minimum allowed
thickness of 650 mm.
The material that will be used to fill the side parts will have a granulometry of no
more than 75 mm. The layer of lateral filling of the pipe will have a minimum
width of 500 mm. In cases where two parallel pipes will be used, the minimum
allowed distance between them will be 600 mm.
Although corrugated metal pipes are known for their resistance, they will be transported,
loaded and unloaded with care. These pipes are light in weight, so ropes or cables will be
used to catch them during loading or unloading, which are wrapped with nylon material

so as not to damage the pipe. Loading, unloading and placing the pipes in position
according to the project will be carried out by crane.
For a safer transport, the pipes will be connected to each other with cables and to avoid
contact, some wooden elements will be placed to avoid contact. Some of the ways of
placing pipes during transport are as follows:

Preparation of the Surface
Prior to application of tack coat, the concrete structural slabs surface will be swept clean of loose
material using the road brush-mounted skid loader and air compressor and manual cleaning to the
satisfaction of the inspector.
Tack coat will be applied on concrete structural slabs surface. The tack coat will be applied when
the weather is not foggy, rainy, windy; and stormy.
The tack coat will be applied uniformly by using a Liquid Bitumen Distributor. Application
temperature will be between 10°C-60°C and as per the client’s requirements.
The surface of any nearby structures, curb stones, and other fixed objects adjacent to areas being
treated will be protected in such a manner as to prevent they’re being spattered or marred.
During application, it will be observed that no ponds in hollows will take place and in the event, it
does occur, the excess material will be removed immediately. Sufficient time will be allowed after
application to ensure that the emulsion breaks completely and it is in a proper condition of
tackiness to receive asphalt wearing course. During this period the coated area will be closed to
traffic.

Before the start of asphalt laying, the tack coat applied area will be protected from traffic
movements.
Wearing Course
The paving operations will be performed asphalt paving machine equipped with multiplex ski
beams on each side.
1- Binder Layer (Asphaltic base course)
A - Prior to the placement of bituminous base course layer, the sub-base course will be cleaned
and prepared by removal of dust and deleterious materials by air jetting or mechanically sweeping
or by any approved means. The cleaned course will be afterwards lightly made wet prior to the
application of the prime coat
B - An approved priming coat of grade will be applied to the non-bituminous sub-base layer at the
rate liters per m2 in accordance with Technical specifications. Prime coat is a cutback bitumen
spray that will be applied (50~70̊ C) to all surfaces of the crushed aggregate base course. Blotter
sand is used to correct areas with excess prime coat materials.
C - The Bitumen Distributor will be calibrated before use. The distributor will be self-powered
and full circulation spray bars adjustable laterally and vertically. Heating and Mixing of
bituminous materials will be carryout accordance with Technical Specifications.
D - Sufficient time (48 Hour Min.) will be allowed for the curing of the prime coats before placing
the following bituminous pavement layers.
E - The asphalt concrete mixtures will be transported to the site by strong clean trucks with smooth
steel surfaces. The surfaces will always be clean and free from any oil or dilutants or any materials
which may affect the properties of asphalt mixtures. When necessary, the surfaces may be sprayed
with a thin layer of lubricant to prevent sticking the mixtures with the surfaces. The transported
asphalt concrete materials will be covered during cold weather or if the mixing plant is far away
from the project site to minimize the heat loss of the mix.
F - Placing and compaction of Binder bituminous layer will be carried out in accordance with the
specifications. Asphalt lay down will proceed from start to end along the Road. Placement of
Binder course will begin along the center-line of the Road or on the high side of areas with a one-
way slope. The mixture will be placed in consecutive adjacent strips towards the uphill direction
of the Road as opposed to the downhill direction.
G - The paver setup will include the cut wooden blocks for the paver screed to rest upon at the
start of each paving day. The wooden block will reflect the actual loose thickness of the asphalt
concrete before compaction.
H - Depending on the available area, pavers will maximize to continuous operation. Every control
point will be checked for elevation at the beginning of the works and while processing the work.

I - Two separate equipped work teams will execute for asphalt placement at adjacent lanes in
echelon simultaneously.
J - Thickness and cross slope will be controlled by one gauge man with the Asphalt paver, which
will be equipped with measure, depth stick and ruler.
K - Transverse joint will be saw cut and carefully removed and painted with bituminous tack coat
before new material is placed against it.
L - The longitudinal joint in one course will offset the longitudinal joint in the Specified however,
the joint in the surface top course will be at the centerline of final pavements surface.
M - Transverse joints in one course will be offset by at least 3 m from transverse joints in the
previous course. Special care is required to avoid longitudinal pavement construction joints along
the car gearwheel path.
N - Any irregularities such as unevenness and/or deficient thickness that appear (before initial
compaction) will be checked visually and by using rolling straight edge. Then immediately make
the rectifications. The mixture will be loosened by raking, and as the case may be, material will be
added, to correct the irregularity. Undue surface coarseness will be remedied by the addition of
finer material via hand sieves. Rolling straight edge will be continuously used to check the
evenness of the surface.
O - Sufficient compaction equipment will be provided and compaction will continue until each lot
of asphaltic concrete pavement is compacted.
Transportation of Wearing Course
Tippers and trucks will be provided to convey the wearing course mix, from the mixing plant to
the site. These tippers will be lightly sprayed with a very thin layer of lubricant material to prevent
the mixture from sticking to the tipper body.
The number of trucks utilized will depend on the haulage distance and the quantity of material
required, a sufficient number of trucks/trailers will be used at the commencement of production.
Asphalt material will be as much as possible supplied continuously to the pavers and will be laid
as soon as possible after delivery.
All precautions will be taken to protect the mix from the weather during transit and while waiting
to discharge.
Compaction
One rolling pass is defined as being the movement of a roller from the start-point, to the asphalt-
paver and back to the startpoint, noting that rollers must keep a five-meter safety distance from
any plant in the direction of travel.

VAT. No: J94416206R
Breakdown rolling will follow immediately behind the paving machine, with a steel wheel
vibratory roller will follow closely behind the paver, moving in an orderly manner, starting from
the edge and progressing towards the center, maintaining an overlap as the rolling continues.
The rolling will start from the low side and to be progressing toward the higher side in the
longitudinal direction of the road.
The first pass for the breakdown rolling with steel wheel roller will be a static-without vibration.
Thereafter, there will be a maximum number of 3 further passes with vibration.
The vibratory roller speed will not exceed 4-5 km/h.
To prevent adhesion of the mix to steel-wheeled rollers, the wheels will be kept properly moistened
but excess water will not be permitted.
Immediately after completion of the rolling by the steel-wheeled roller, a 14 tons pneumatic
smooth tire roller will be deployed to continue the rolling in a similar way by making 12 passes.
The application of light oil will be allowed to avoid sticking the fresh asphalt to tires.
When applying the oil to the tires, a long lance is ideally used so that the application operator is
kept well away from the running path of the PTR.
The spray man must apply the spray with the roller direction of travel moving away from the roller
– never with the roller moving towards him.
The final finish will be accomplished when the compacted surface has stabilized and does not
show signs of displacement or cracking, by deploying a steel-wheeled roller without vibration for
a further two (2) passes.
Construction Joint into Asphalt Paving
Construction joints will be prepared by cutting the layer vertically down with an asphalt saw
cutting machine or a jackhammer.
Fueling of Paving Equipment
Fueling of equipment is strictly prohibited on the paving surface and it will be done outside the
paving area. The layer of the wearing course will be protected from oil/fuel spills by taking
precautions before and during the paving process.
In case any oil/fuel spills are found on the pavement surface, they will be rectified to the
satisfaction of the supervisor before continuing with paving.
Inspection, Test and Sampling
Request for Inspection and Testing will be submitted prior to and after execution of works.

For the production of the cement binder layer, Portland cement of class 32.5 will be
used.
The percentage of cement in the mixture according to the specifications will be
2.5% - 3.5%, in relation to the weight of the dry aggregate
The material will be mixed with water and cement in the central plant mounted
in a pre-determined position.
The quality engineer will follow the mixing procedure allowing a tolerance of +-
5% of the cement injected into the broken material.
After loading on the truck, the material will be transported and spread in uniform
layers with the specified thickness
The material will be compacted with 20 ton vibratory rollers with 10-12 passes.
The whole process starting from spreading to the final compaction will be done
within 2 hours according to the specifications.
After compaction, a layer of sealing emulsion with an intensity of 1-2 kg/m2 will
be applied while the surface is still wet.
The passage of vehicles on this layer will not be allowed for a period of 72 hours.

The method of laying asphalt is the same as the method of laying ordinary asphalt, with
the only difference being that the number of passes will be determined depending on the
porosity of the asphalt.
The hot asphalt mixture will be laid over the primer sprayed surface in accordance
to the width and thickness of the project.
Compaction will be done as soon as possible after spreading the material.
Vibrating rollers will be used that will be positioned behind the asphalt paver that
will perform compaction at a temperature of around 150°C without vibration.
When the temperature is around 110 - 130°C, the rollers will work with vibration
and at this stage the pneumatic rollers (rubber-rubber) will also be put into work.
Below a temperature of 80°C, the compaction will be carried out only with
pneumatic rollers until the required compaction is achieved around a temperature
of 80°C.
The compression will start from the side towards the middle. Each road will
trample the previous road by at least 30 cm.
Roller cylinders will be kept clean and the roller must be able to move in the
opposite direction without the need to turn, heavy vibrating rollers will be used to
eliminate undulations in the road. Full compaction with heavy equipment must be
completed before the asphalt reaches a temperature of 90oC.
Traffic will not be allowed for a period that is considered cooling, which should
take about 12 hours.

Role integration includes foremen coordinating tasks and reporting progress, which informs engineers and managers for decision-making . Quality engineers monitor compliance and manage documentation, affecting task execution and resource planning . HSE specialists promote safe practices and compliance across operations . Operators and workers execute tasks as trained, depending on precise instruction and supervision from foremen . This structured coordination among roles enhances communication, ensures task interdependency is respected, and optimizes resource use, resulting in efficient project delivery.
The preparation of excavation sites includes marking the excavation area, erecting physical barriers where necessary, and identifying live services on site to prevent accidental damage . The site engineer coordinates with clients and contractors to ensure live services are clearly marked, and hand-digging may be used to safely expose existing services . Compliance with project specifications is further ensured by using appropriate machinery, such as a 360-degree excavator for deep excavation, and confirming the excavation slope through terrain assessments to determine additional measures . These processes collectively enhance safety and adherence to specifications.
The sequence of works in road filling operations starts with picketing and marking the road body to guide slope cutting . Suitable material layers are spread uniformly along the road width, with tolerance for excavation corrections . Each layer undergoes compaction, starting from the lowest point and continuing with overlapping passes to ensure uniformity . Subsequent layers are poured and compacted once certified, until the entire filling matches project specifications . Material handling, including protection from humidity and compaction testing, ensures structural integrity and durability . Each step is crucial for achieving a stable, compliant, and robust road structure.
A quality engineer focuses on ensuring compliance with plans, specifications, and quality standards through inspections, documentation, and coordination with departments for material procurement . They oversee the entire QA/QC documentation for projects, ensuring material and workmanship meet project specifications . In contrast, a health and safety specialist is responsible for ensuring all work conditions and procedures comply with safety regulations, identifying risks, and developing safety measures . They have authority to stop unsafe practices and are involved in accident investigations and safety plan reviews .
Health and safety measures include preparing HSE action plans, monitoring hazardous situations, inspecting construction steps for hazards, and conducting Toolbox Talk Meetings for awareness . The HSE specialist has authority to correct unsafe acts and stop unsafe practices immediately . Safety plans are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure compliance with regulations, and all safety equipment is verified as safe for use . These measures are enforced through routine inspections, training programs, and continuous monitoring, ensuring adherence to safety protocols and promoting a safe work environment.
Pre-start checks involve assessing the availability of equipment, ground conditions, and potential vicinity hazards, including overhead and underground services . Identifying these factors before commencing work helps in planning safer operations and mitigating risks associated with excavation . Well-defined checks ensure readiness to address any unexpected conditions, reducing the likelihood of accidents and ensuring that excavation activities proceed with minimal disruptions and hazards.
Ecological compliance in filling works is ensured by selecting non-cohesive granular materials for compaction, as specified technically . Layers are implemented with precise measurements to avoid over-filling, and the compaction process is monitored for adherence to standards . To prevent environmental impact, filled material's aggressiveness is evaluated, with approval required for use . These strategies minimize ecological disturbance and maintain project integrity by considering environmental factors during planning and execution.
Quality control integrates with project management by executing tasks according to contracts and technical specifications and maintaining comprehensive documentation and test plans . This includes verifying material and producer certifications, reviewing and approving test results, and ensuring progress aligns with plans . Quality inspectors assist in monthly closings and progress tracking, preparing summaries for final inspections . This integration ensures issues are identified early, resources are allocated efficiently, and any deviations from project specifications are promptly rectified, leading to successful project outcomes.
A construction foreman's primary responsibilities include coordinating tasks according to priorities, monitoring crew attendance, supervising and training workers, ensuring manpower and resources are adequate, and ensuring safety and quality standards are met . These responsibilities contribute to project efficiency by optimizing workflow, resolving implementation issues, and reporting progress to engineers and managers, which ensures that resources are used effectively and problems are addressed promptly .
Material withholding involves determining which materials are suitable for use, considering geological survey results and engineer approvals . Approved materials are stored temporarily in designated locations until needed, ensuring readiness and preventing project delays . This process is significant because it allows for planning resource allocation, maintains project timelines by ensuring that suitable materials are available when needed, and prevents unnecessary on-site congestion. Efficient material management directly impacts cost efficiency and adherence to project schedules.
