(PREPARED BY JAWATANKUASA ARAHAN TEKNIK JALAN 16/03,

HEADED BY CAWANGAN ALAM SEKITAR DAN TENAGA)
PREFACE

In line with the environmental policy of Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia which is committed
to ensure the implementation of government projects with emphasis on the importance of
environmental protection as well as legal and regulatory compliance, efforts to improve
environmental management during project implementation is prioritized. Environmental
management during project implementation for Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia is
standardized by adopting this Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 16/03 Pindaan 2015: A Guide for
Environmental Protection & Enhancement Works.

In view of amendments of technical and legal requirements of external technical agencies

from time to time, JKR Malaysia has undertaken the initiative to update this document to
be more comprehensive in order to meet the latest requirements of various agencies that
are closely related in terms of environmental protection.

In 2013, a committee was established comprising multi-disciplinary personnel in Jabatan

Kerja Raya Malaysia, external government technical agencies and also environmental
consultants in an attempt to produce a more comprehensive Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 16/03
that will take into account the interests and needs of all parties involved.

The enhancements from the previous edition have resulted in a more comprehensive
environmental management and protection technical document.

The main additional items included in this revised edition are:

 Legislation and requirements from other local authorities especially from
Putrajaya, Sabah and Sarawak.
 Incorporation of more specific Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) details.
 Elaboration of roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder comprising of JKR
personnel, consultants and contractors in the implementation of Environmental
Management Plans (EMPs).
 Preservation of flora, coral species, fauna including wildlife in Environmentally
Sensitive Areas (ESA).
 Waste management during construction in all JKR projects.

As a summary, this revised Arahan Teknik Jalan has been formulated and is to be
implemented by various government agencies and parties involved, in line with the
nation’s aspirations in protecting the environment thus to ensure better quality of life
through sustainable development for future generations.

CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION

Environmental management in an effective and comprehensive manner during project

implementation is very crucial in delivering a project that can be completed and meets the
quality, time and cost set by the client, and meets the satisfaction of all stakeholders
involved. Comprehensive environmental management and effectiveness in protecting the
surroundings respectively, is also closely linked to the efforts to fulfill the aspirations of
the country's sustainable development goal by the year 2020.

In our efforts towards building a sustainable nation, environmental protection and

conservation are equally important. Therefore, as a developing country Malaysia has
outlined a number of initiatives such as the formulation of the National Policy on
Environment and the National Physical Plan (NPP 1 & 2). The National Policy on
Environment aims for continuous economic, social and cultural progress and enhancement
of the quality of life of Malaysians, through environmentally sound and sustainable
development. The National Policy on Environment, National Physical Plan and the
Environmental Quality Act 1974 forms the basis of environmental management in our
country.

NPP 2 outlines strategic policies for the purpose of determining the general direction and
trends of the physical development of the nation. The main goal of NPP 2 is to establish
an efficient, equitable and sustainable national spatial framework to guide the overall
development of the country towards achieving developed and high-income nation status
by 2020. NPP 2 is also strengthened by Theme 6 : Conserving Natural Resources,
Biodiversity & the Environmental in the National Spatial Framework for 2020. Six areas
has been identified for conservation and they comprised of Environmental Sensitive Areas
(ESA), Central Forest Spine, Coastal & Marine Ecosystems, Highland Development,
Water Resources and Climate Change.

CHAPTER 2: ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

The Environmental Quality (Amendment) Act 2012 has outlined compliance with relevant
environmental protection legislation respectively. To date, 38 sets of Regulations and
Orders have been enforced. Under this Act, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is
required to be prepared and approved for any activities prescribed under the
Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment)
Order 1987. Those activities that are not subjected to the mandatory EIA requirement are
nevertheless subjected to various other regulations under the Act. One of the latest
requirements is submission of a Preliminary Site Assessment (PAT) that is required by the
Department of Environment Malaysia (DOE) for any new proposed project in order to
evaluate the project development in a compatible land use zones.

For the states of Sabah and Sarawak, the environmental requirements are clearly stipulated
in the Environment Protection (Amendment) Enactment 2002 and Natural Resources
and Environment Ordinance, 1993 – Chapter 84, Laws of Sarawak 1958 respectively.

Apart from the Environmental Quality (Amendment) Act 2012, there are other related
environmental legislations that should be complied by the project proponent such as:

(a) Federal Territory (Planning) Act 1982 (Act 267)

(b) Fishery Act 1985 (Act 317)
(c) Forestry Act 1984 (Act 313)
(d) Land Conservation Act 1960 (Act 385)
(e) Local Government Act 1976 (Act 171)
(f) National Land Code 1965 (Act 56)
(g) Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (Act 514)
(h) Solid Waste and Public Cleansing Management Act 2007 (Act 672)
(i) Street, Drainage and Building Act, 1974: Act 133 and Amendment, 1978
(j) Town and Country Planning Act 1976 (Act 172)
(k) Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 (Act 716)
(l) Workers Minimum Amenities Act 1990 (Act 446)

Meanwhile, in Sabah there are other environmental legislations that should be complied
such as the following;

(a) Forest Enactment 1968

(b) Land Ordinance (Cap.68)
(c) Local Government Ordinance 1961
(d) Sabah Parks Enactment 1984
(d) Sabah Biodiversity Enactment 2000
(e) Town and Country Planning Ordinance (Cap. 141)
(f) Water Resources Enactment 1998

Since April 2011, an Integrated Management System (IMS) has been implemented in JKR
Malaysia. IMS is comprised of Quality Management System (QMS) 9001:2008,
Environmental Management System (EMS) 14001:2004 and Occupational Safety and
Health System (OSHA): 18001:2007.

8
The Environmental Management System (EMS) is also known as Sistem Pengurusan
Alam Sekitar (SPAS) 14001:2004. SPAS includes organizational structure, planning
activities, responsibilities, practices , procedures, processes and resources for developing,
implementing, achieving, reviewing and maintaining the environmental policy. For project
management, its processes will include environmental requirements in planning, design,
procurement, construction and handing over stages.

2.1 Planning Stage

The planning stage is crucial to ensure that projects comply with the relevant environmental
requirements. If the said project has been classified as a “prescribed activity” according to
the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities) (Environmental Impact Assessment)
Order 1987 under Section 34A of the Environmental Quality(Amendment) Act 2012,
an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study needs to be carried out and submitted to
Department of Environment (DOE) for approval prior to project implementation.

The EIA screening process is included in the SPAS and shall be carried out for every project
at its planning stage. By undergoing this process, the need for compliance to EIA and/or JKR
EMS 14001 requirements can be identified earlier. The project proponent shall submit the
PAT form to DOE within the planning stage. The PAT submission ensures that any new
project to be developed is in accordance with the specified land use zone for the site. The
flowchart of the PAT process is shown in Figure 2.1.1.

For projects that located in the Central Forest Spine (CFS), the project proponent shall
make reference to the Central Forest Spine Management Plan and Species Management
Plan.

Under the Environmental Quality (Prescribed Activities)(Environmental Impact
Assessment) Order 1987, there are a total of nineteen (19) categories of prescribed
activities which includes agriculture, airport, drainage and irrigation, land reclamation,
fisheries, forestry, housing, industry, railways, transportation, resort and recreation
development, waste treatment and disposal, and water supply projects. Additionally, a
Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA) study is required for seventeen (17)
different types of projects. Projects of which are relevant to JKR Malaysia are:

i. Cement plant
ii. Construction of dams for water supply and hydroelectric power schemes
iii. Land reclamation
iv. Incineration plant (scheduled waste & solid wastes)
v. Construction of municipal solid waste land fill facility (including municipal solid
waste transfer station)
vi. Project involving land clearing where 50% of the area or more having slopes
exceeding 25 degrees (except quarry)
vii. Logging covering an area exceeding 500 hectares or more
viii. Development of tourist or recreational facilities on islands in surrounding waters
which are gazetted as national marine parks
ix. Prescribed activities using radioactive materials(s) and generating radioactive
waste(s)

It is important to note that for projects in Sabah and Sarawak, specific local legislations
pertaining to EIA requirements need to be adhered to.

For the state of Sabah, lists of prescribed activities are contained in the First Schedule
and the Second Schedule of the Environment Protection (Prescribed Activities)
(Environment Impact Assessment) Order 2005. For projects in Sabah, an
environmental impact assessment report is required for any prescribed activities specified
in the Second Schedule of the Environment Protection (Prescribed Activities)
(Environment Impact Assessment) Order 2005 whilst , a proposal for mitigation measures
(PMM) is required for any prescribed activities specified in the First Schedule.

For projects in Sarawak, an environmental impact assessment report is required for any
prescribed activities specified in the First Schedule of the Natural Resources and
Environment (Prescribed Activities) Order 1994.

Preparation of EIA report shall follow accordingly to - A Handbook of EIA Guidelines

published by DOE. For better understanding of the EIA process and procedures, an EIA
flow chart for both Preliminary EIA and Detailed EIA are shown in Figures 2.1.2 and
2.1.3. Similarly, a simple EIA flow chart for Sarawak and Sabah are shown in Figures
2.1.4 and 2.1.5.

2.2 Design Stage

For projects subjected to EIA approval, any recommendations of environmental protection

and control measures in the EIA report should be considered and incorporated in the
designing process. This includes the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP). All the
ESCP drawings shall be certified by a qualified designer. Besides that, environmental
quality monitoring points which are included in ESCP drawings should also be indicated
and stated appropriately. All the ESCP drawings shall follow latest edition of Manual
Saliran Mesra Alam (MSMA) (Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia),
published by Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS).

2.3 Construction Stage

For conventional projects, an EMP report should be submitted by Contractor to S.O for
approval within 14 days of site possession prior to commencement of any works on site.
The contractor shall comply with all requirements of the conditions of approval of the EIA
report and/or the EMP.

For design and build project, within fourteen (14) days of site possession, the Contractor shall
submit for the P.D approval a detailed EMP based on the Arahan Teknik (Jalan) 16/03 –
Pindaan 2015.

No site clearing and earthworks shall be carried out prior to EMP approval by relevant
parties/authorities. EMP should be revised throughout the construction period for on-site
suitability.

2.4 Operational/Post Construction Stage

Upon submission and acceptance of the closing audit at the end of the construction period,
monitoring of operational activities in compliance to the necessary laws and regulations is
encouraged to be continued during the post construction stage in order to ensure that the
operational stage of the project does not cause any environmental damage. The impact of
generated wastewater has been deemed to be a significant residual impact that requires
further monitoring. The quality of any wastewater discharged must comply with the limits
as stipulated by the Environmental Quality (Sewage) Regulations 2009.

2.5 Environmental and Project Classification and its Document Compliance

In order to identify the environmental requirement subjected to the proposed project, there
are two stages of undertaking which are environmental classification followed by project
classification. The details as shown in Table 2.5.1: Environmental Classification and its
Documents Compliance and Table 2.5.2: Project Classification and its Documents

curtain wear and tear lifespan) and not to wait until damage is evidently visible
as by then it will be too late as silt and waste materials would have leaked
outside of project boundary and can cause damage to fragile coral reef area.

Note: Skirt length to be adjusted 10% longer than the water depth

(f) Sand bag barrier

A sandbag barrier is a series of sand-filled bags placed on a level contour to

intercept sheet flows. Sandbag barriers pond sheet flow runoff, allowing
sediment to settle out.

Sandbag barriers are suitable as a linear sediment control measure which

includes below the toe of slopes and erodible slopes, as sediment traps at
culvert/pipe outlets, down slope of exposed soil areas, around temporary
stockpiles and spoil areas, as check dams across mildly sloped construction
roads and parallel to a roadway to keep sediment off paved areas.

Sand bag barrier shall be checked regularly before and after rain events, In
addition, sandbags exposed to sunlight will cause degradation and need to be
replaced immediately. Sediment should be removed when the sediment
accumulation reaches one-third of the barrier height and disposed at designated
site.

Note: Other items not specified above shall be referred to the latest JKR

126
2.1.2 Construction Methods

2.1.2.1 Areas to be Cleared

The areas where the Works are to be carried out shall be cleared as described in
Sub-Section 2.1.1, unless otherwise shown on the Drawings and/or directed by the
S.O.

Clearing shall be carried out to the extents deemed necessary and approved or
directed by the S.O. in areas outside the road reserve where channel excavation or
other work is required.

In areas which are to be cleared only, and in which grubbing and stripping topsoil
are not required, the methods of work shall be such as that will not unduly damage
the surface vegetation and topsoil, and care shall be taken not to disturb the topsoil
and the root systems of grasses and other surface vegetation. No topsoil shall be
removed from such areas, except as directed by the S.O., and any topsoil, grasses
and other surface vegetation otherwise removed or disturbed shall be replaced and
made good at the Contractor's own expense, with the agreement of the S.O.

2.1.2.2 Areas to be Cleared, Grubbed and Stripped of Topsoil

Unless otherwise shown on the Drawings and/or directed by the S.O., clearing,
grubbing and stripping topsoil shall be carried out in all areas of roadway
excavation and in all areas where embankment is to be constructed, except that
grubbing and stripping topsoil shall not be carried out in those areas where
embankment is to be constructed on ground identified as swamp or soft ground.

Clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil shall be carried out to the extents deemed
necessary and approved or directed by the S.O. in areas both inside and outside the
road reserve where channel excavation or other work is required.

Except where further excavation is required, holes and cavities in the ground
surface after clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil shall be filled with materials
similar to the adjacent ground, and such fill shall be compacted to a dry density
similar to that of the surrounding materials, with the agreement of the S.O.

This work shall be considered incidental to the work of clearing, grubbing and
stripping topsoil, and shall not be measured for payment.

2.1.2.3 Topsoil

Topsoil to be stockpiled for the Works shall be sufficiently fertile to promote and
support the growth of vegetation, and shall be taken from such areas where
clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil is required as approved or directed by the
S.O. Before stockpiling, topsoil shall be separated from objectionable materials as
defined in Sub-Section 2.1.2.6, with the agreement of the S.O. The Contractor shall

127
arrange for stockpile sites either within or outside the road reserve, at his own
expense, and with the agreement of the S.O. or as required by the relevant laws and
regulations.

Otherwise, topsoil removed during grubbing and stripping operations shall be

separated from objectionable materials and spread within the road reserve or
borrowed areas, or otherwise disposed of, as approved or directed by the S.O.

2.1.2.4 Timber

The ownership of timber is vested in the Government.

Saleable timber shall be trimmed and stacked in accordance with the requirements
of the appropriate Government agency, in accessible places within the road reserve
as approved or directed by the S.O.

The Contractor shall have the right to use unsold timber (or saleable timber when
permission is granted in writing by the appropriate Government agency or
authority) for his own purposes in connection with the Contract, always provided
that he shall comply with the requirements of the S.O.

2.1.2.5 Structures

Major structures are those which cannot practicably be cleared by bulldozer and/or
hydraulic excavator, whose demolition requires pneumatic tools, explosives and/or
other specialised equipment. A brief description of each major structure (if any)
and depth to which extent it shall be demolished is given in the Bill of Quantities.

All fences, buildings, structures, and encumbrances of any character within the
limits of the road reserve, except those to be removed by others or designated to
remain, shall be demolished and removed by the Contractor.

Materials designated in the Contract or directed by the S.O. to be salvaged, shall be

carefully removed and stored, and shall be the property of the Government.

2.1.2.6 Disposal of Materials

Objectionable materials such as combustible materials including all timber (except

timber to be salvaged or used), all brushwood, stumps, roots, vegetation from
clearing, grubbing and stripping topsoil (including the demolition of structures)
shall be disposed off as approved or directed by the S.O.

2.2 EARTHWORKS

2.2.1 Definitions

(a) Formation Level

Formation level means the top surface of the subgrade.

(b) Subgrade

Subgrade means that part of the embankment or existing ground in cutting which is
immediately below the sub-base or lower sub-base of the road pavement and
shoulders.

(c) Common Excavation

Common excavation shall mean excavation in any materials which are not rock or
hard materials as defined in Sub-Sections 2.2.1 (f) and (g).

(d) Unsuitable Materials

2.2.3.6 Widening Cuts

The S.O. may instruct the Contractor or the Contractor himself may elect to obtain
materials for the Works by widening cuts. In the latter case, the Contractor shall
first request permission in writing from the S.O.

Widening of cuts shall not be permitted beyond the limits of the road reserve.

Any additional costs and time incurred that resulted from widening cuts shall be
borne by the Contractor.

2.2.3.7 Excavation of Rock

Rock excavation shall be carried out by methods appropriate to Site requirements

as approved by the S.O. As far as is practicable the Contractor shall not use
blasting methods for excavations.

Where the excavation is too hard to be performed by digging, dozing, scraping,

ripping, splitting, breaking, jack picking or other such methods, the Contractor may
make a written request to the S.O. for permission to blast. Such permission will be
granted only if the S.O. is satisfied that all reasonable measures have been tried to
carry out the excavation by methods other than blasting.

Where explosives are used, the Contractor shall provide a method statement and
shall comply fully with requirements of this Specification, or any direction, order,

133
requirement or instruction given by the Police Department or any other authority
competent to do so under any written law.

All materials from rock excavations shall be used as far as is practicable in the
Works.

Where the rock is of satisfactory quality, the Contractor may elect to crush and
screen it to produce aggregates required for concrete, roadbase, sub-base, or other
purposes with the prior approval of the S.O. Excavated rock needed for earthwork
construction which the Contractor elects to be used for producing aggregate
materials shall be replaced at the Contractor's own expense by borrowing materials
of satisfactory quality from alternative locations approved by the S.O.

Otherwise, excavated rock shall be used in the construction of embankment and

fill, to the fullest practical extent, in either of the two following ways: -

i) Excavated rock shall be broken down to a maximum particle size of

300 mm and used as rock fill as described in Sub-Section 2.2.5;

ii) Excavated rock shall be broken down to a maximum particle size of

150 mm, blended with suitable earth fill materials in a proportion not
exceeding 1 rock to 1 earth, and used as common fill.

The Contractor may only waste excavated rock with the approval of the S.O.
Excavated rock needed for earthwork construction which the Contractor elects to
waste shall be replaced at the Contractor's own expense by borrowing materials of

Proper buildings or magazines, with separate compartments for detonators, in

suitable positions for the storage of explosives in manner and quantities to be
approved shall be provided in compliance with all authorities’ requirements. The
prevention of any unauthorised issue or improper use of any explosives brought on
the Works shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and only experienced and
qualified personnel shall be employed to handle explosives for the purpose of the
Works.

2.2.3.9 Blasting

Explosives shall be used in the quantities and manner recommended by the

manufacturers and blasting specialist. Blasting shall be restricted to such periods as
the S.O. may prescribe and to comply with all authorities requirement. If, in the
opinion of the S.O., blasting would be dangerous to persons or properties or to any
finished work, or is being carried on in a reckless manner, he may prohibit it, and
order the rock to be excavated by other means. The use of explosives in large

134
 blasts, i.e. exceeding 9 kg of explosive, as in seams, drifts, shafts, pits, or large
holes, is prohibited unless authorized in writing by the S.O. Such authorization
shall not in any way relieve the Contractor of his liabilities under the Conditions of
Contract.

All necessary precautions shall be taken to preserve the materials below and
beyond the lines of all excavations in the soundest possible condition. Delayed
blasting to reduce shock waves shall be used to avoid damage to concrete and other
completed works. As the excavation approaches its final lines, blasting with pre-
splitting technique of approved drill hole spacing shall be carried out to reduce
blast damage and create reasonably even finished surface by means of parallel drill
holes perpendicular to the toe of the excavation and parallel to the finally required
face.

2.2.3.10 Safety Measures

When blasting is carried out close to properties or roads, safety rules complying
with authorities’ requirements shall be strictly adhered to. Where necessary or as
directed by the S.O., heavy mesh blasting mats shall be used to ensure that no
damage is caused to persons or properties on or off site. Special care shall be taken
in wet ground to ensure that individual explosions are reduced to such size as to
preclude damage to any buildings or structures. Plaster shooting will not be
permitted within 400 meters of any buildings or structures. If traffic on any road or
railway has to be interrupted for blasting operations, the Contractor shall obtain
approval of his schedule for such interruption from the appropriate authorities and
shall prove to the S.O. that he has obtained it, prior to the interruption.

When blasting is carried out with close proximity to sensitive structures and
environmental sensitive areas, thresholds and criteria of vibration impact shall be
established for monitoring purpose.

135
 The fill materials shall be free from roots, grass, other vegetable materials, clay
lump or materials of particles size larger than 150 mm.

Sand shall not be used as fill materials at outer edges of the embankment.

2.2.4.2 Borrow Pits

The Contractor shall be responsible for locating borrow pits. Designated borrow
pits shown on the Drawings only indicate to the Contractor potential areas for
borrow. Whether the Contractor obtains materials from the designated or his own
borrow pit, it shall be his responsibility to ascertain the suitability of the pit with
respect to the quantity and quality of the materials, which shall be subjected to the
approval of the S.O. The Contractor shall pay all necessary fees, taxes or royalties
to the appropriate authorities and observe all relevant regulations.

The Contractor shall keep the borrow pits free from water ponding and the
excavation neat and tidy. The contractor shall make sure the side-wall of the
borrow pits is stable, protect the slope surface by turfing and shall carry out other
necessary erosion and environmental protection measures following the agreed

2.2.4.3 Placement of Fill Materials

All fill materials shall be deposited in layers and brought up at a uniform rate so
that all parts of the Site reach finished level at the same time. The loose depth for
each layer of fill shall be determined from the trial compaction. Each layer shall
extend over the full width of the fill area and shall be compacted in accordance
with the requirements of Sub-Section 2.2.4.4. Each compacted layer shall be
maintained at all times with a sufficiently even surface of longitudinal and cross
slope in order to drain away the surface water.

Where embankment is to be constructed on ground with a cross slope flatter than 1

(vertical) to 10 (horizontal) but steeper than 1 (vertical) to 30 (horizontal), the
foundation materials, except where it is rock, shall be scarified to a depth of 100

136
mm, blended with embankment fill materials and compacted as described in Sub-
Section 2.2.4.4.

Where embankment is to be constructed against existing embankment or on ground

with a cross-slope steeper than 1 (vertical) to 10 (horizontal), the foundation shall
be excavated in all materials (including hard rock) to form benches with horizontal
and vertical faces from which construction of the embankment shall proceed. The
benches shall be contiguous beneath the full width of the embankment, and shall
be of a suitable width to accommodate construction equipments such as motor-
graders, trucks, rollers, etc. Scarifying of the horizontal and vertical faces of the
benches shall not normally be required, and the materials excavated in forming the
benches may normally be used as fill in the embankment as approved by the S.O.

2.2.4.4 Compaction

a) General

All materials used in embankments and as fill elsewhere shall be

compacted as soon as practicable after being placed and spread.
Compaction shall be undertaken to the requirements of this Section by plant
approved by the S.O. All compaction requirements shall be controlled by
means of field density measurement.

For compaction of embankment slope, the Contractor may either extend

each compacted layer beyond the design slope surface by at least 600 mm
then trim back to the required slope angle, or he may employ an agreed tow
type roller to compact the sloping surface.

b) Compaction Trials

The latest MS 1056 Compaction Test (4.5 kg rammer method) shall be used
in determining the moisture versus density relation of soil.

The Contractor shall submit to the S.O. for his agreement the proposed
method of compaction for each main type of materials to be used in the
embankment. This shall include the type of compaction plant for each type
of materials and the number of passes in relation to the loose depth of
materials to achieve desired compaction. The maximum loose thickness for
fill shall generally be limited to 400 mm unless trial compaction shows
compliance with larger loose thickness and with the approval from the S.O.
The Contractor shall carry out field compaction trials, supplemented by any
necessary laboratory investigations, as required by the S.O. This shall be
done by using the procedures proposed by the Contractor for earthworks
and shall demonstrate to the S.O. that all the specified requirements
regarding compaction can be achieved. Compaction trials with the main
types of materials likely to be encountered shall be completed before the
137
 works with the corresponding materials will be allowed to commence. Each
trial area shall be not smaller than 8 m x 15 m.

For earthwork compaction of less than 100 cubic meters, trial compaction
can be waived with approval from the S.O., but field density testing as per
Sub-Section 2.2.4.4 (d) is still remained necessary as and when instructed
by the S.O.

c) Degree of Compaction

The whole of the embankment below the top 300 mm of the subgrade shall
be compacted to not less than 90% (for cohesive materials) or 95% (for
cohesion less materials) of the maximum dry density determined in the
latest MS 1056 Compaction Test (4.5 kg - rammer method), unless
otherwise specified in the Drawings.

d) Field Density Testing

Field density tests on each layer of compacted earth fill shall be carried out
using the sand replacement method in accordance with the latest MS 1056
or by using other means of testing of comparable accuracy approved by the
S.O.

e) Moisture Control

Each layer of earth fill shall be processed as necessary to bring its moisture
content to a uniform level throughout the materials, suitable for
compaction. The optimum moisture content as determined by the latest MS
1056 Compaction Test (4.5 kg rammer method) shall be used as a guide in
determining the proper range of moisture content, preferably on the wet
side, at which each soil type shall be compacted. Water shall be added in
fine spray for consistent moisture absorption in the fill, or the materials
aerated and dried to adjust the soil to the proper range of moisture content
to obtain the required density. A satisfactory method and sufficient
equipment as approved by the S.O. shall be used for the furnishing and
handling of water.

If the natural water content of suitable materials is too high for the proper
compaction to be carried out, the Contractor can either bring down the
moisture content by aeration or drying or alternatively replace it with
suitable materials of compactable moisture range at his own cost.

f) Air Voids

To reduce potential of collapse compression of unsaturated cohesive fill

due to wetting, the moisture content range at fill placement shall be

138
 controlled to achieve a compacted fill with allowable air void content not
exceeding 5 %.

2.2.4.5 Frequency of Control Tests

For each compacted fill material, the frequency of control tests shall be in
accordance with Table 2.2. The control tests shall be evenly allocated to
each compacted layer of the entire compacted fill. Each control test shall
provide moisture content, dry density and air void content.

Compacted materials 1 test per 500 square meters

For California Bearing Ratio (CBR), the frequency of test shall not be less
than one test per 4000 square meters of compacted subgrade surface
completed or otherwise as directed by the S.O.

If certain test methods are used for the reasons of speed and economy,
calibration between such tests and the master test method as per latest MS
1056 shall be carried out at the interval of every 100 tests subjected to the
S.O’s agreement. The calibration is materials specific and shall be
performed for each materials type. The non-master test method with
variation of more than ± 5 % shall be rejected.

2.2.5 Rock Fill Embankment

Rock used in rock fill embankments shall be of maximum particle size of

300 mm so that it can be deposited in horizontal layers, each not exceeding
500 mm in compacted depth and extending over the full width of the
embankment except for any specified external cover to slopes or new
formation level. The materials shall be spread and levelled by a crawler
tractor weighing not less than 15 tonnes. Each layer shall consist of
reasonably well graded rock and all large voids with averaging dimension
of exceeding 150 mm shall be filled with broken fragments before the next
