Construction Procedures
Field Survey and Geotechnical Investigations
Once the surveys are complete and if there is a descripancy result between the
Original Plan and actual site Conditions, All desputes and re-design (If
reccomendable) will be resolved by the JACMI Construction Manager
simoultaneously with the massive excavation works by other Contractor at cost
by the Owner. Upon resolution of all desputes, the Excavator will continue and
follow the desired Grid excavation according to the elevation’s setforth by the
Owner/Architect required on proposed Foundation plan.
Using all of the data that has been gathered for the Project including
geotechnical information, environmental and climatic conditions, site
topography, etc. The Contractors engineering group will keep the establish a set
of site-specific construction specifications for the various portions of the Project.
The design data specifications are based on well proven and established sets of
construction standards set forth by the various standard industry practice groups
such as the American Concrete Institute (ACI), Philippine Electrical Code (PEC),
Fire Code of the Philippines , and NATIONAL Building Code of the Philippines, etc.
The design and construction specifications are custom tailored for site-specific
conditions by technical staff and engineers. The Project engineering team will also
ensure that all aspects of the specifications as well as the actual on-site
construction comply with all of the applicable Building codes under the National
and local codes of the Philippines and good industry practice. Equipment
procurement will also be undertaken using the Project site specifications. The
primary Contractor will use the design specifications as a guideline to complete
the detailed construction plans for the Project. The design basis approach ensures
that the Project will be designed and constructed to meet the minimum 15 year
design life.

obtain required soil bearing values. All structural excavation shall extend a
sufficient distance from the walls or footings to allow for proper erection and
dismantling of forms, installation of utilities and inspection. In foundation beds,
final excavation to ground by hand shovels or machines equipped with smooth
edge bucket will be required to obtain undisturbed subgrade foundation
satisfactory to the project manager. This shall be inspected and approved prior to
concreting, installation of underground utilities and backfilling. Surface drain
water shall be kept from running into the excavated pit. Proper pumping
equipment and drainage facilities shall be maintained at all times during the
excavation period to keep such excavations dry so as to obtain a satisfactory
foundation bed.

in friable condition with low moisture content to allow uniform distribution of
chemicals. This should not be applied in conditions which can cause surface run
off to avoid environmental hazard.
4. Structure Backfill: After the removal of forms, all trash and other debris shall be
removed from the excavation. Backfilling shall be done using approved borrow
materials. Backfill in contact with new concrete shall not be placed until at least 48
hours after the removal of forms and the concrete has been inspected and found
satisfactory. Filling materials shall be evenly spread in horizontal layers not more
than 150mm thick. Each layer shall be watered and compacted to a density of at
least 95% of maximum density at optimum moisture.

P. ELECTRO-MECHANICAL WORKS:
Q. SITE DEVELOPMENT
1. Clearing and Grubbing: After the limits of work have been established, surface
objects, trees and other protruding obstructions not designated to remain will be
cleared by bulldozers and disposed of at designated disposal site using pay loader
and dump trucks.
3. Sub grade Preparation: After the necessary earthworks have been completed and
all culverts cross drains and waterline crossings have been installed, preparation of
subgrade for support of overlying structural layers will immediately commence.
This preparation will extend to the full width of the roadway which will include
sidewalk, curb and gutter. All soft and unsuitable materials that will not compact
properly will be immediately removed and replace with suitable fill. Scarifying and
blading using road graders and rolling with vibratory rollers will then be conducted
to thoroughly compact and shape the cross section of the roadbed. To check the
accuracy of the work, templates and straight edges will be provide. Field density
tests will be conducted during this stage to determine the stability of the bed.
5. Pipe Culverts and Storm Drains: Where feasible, excavation of trenches for
drainage line and manholes will commence simultaneously with earthwork
activities. Trenches will be excavated to a width that will allow proper jointing of
the conduit and compaction of bedding and backfill material. Mortar joints will be
made with an excess of mortar to form a continuous bead around the outside of
pipe conduit. Thereafter, backfill material for trenches will be compacted in
accordance with the required density.
6. Sidewalk, Curbs and Gutters: Concrete will not be placed until forms and rebar
have been checked. Forms for at least 50m will be checked for alignment and
grade. Curbs and gutters constructed on curves will have wood forms and will be
finished to a smooth and even surface and the edges rounded. Forms will be
removed within 24 hours after concreting. Minor defects will be retouched with
mortar. The back of the curb shall be filled with suitable materials when the
concrete has set.
