Misurata 34” Gas Pipeline Technical Services.

3.4. Grading and Levelling of the ROW

The working width shall be graded and benched to assist with subsequent construction operations.

Side slopes encountered along the flow line route shall be benched by cutting and fill method to
form a level running track and working platform for welding and trenching operations.

Grading and benching shall be carried out using grader/dozers moving along the ROW
in lateral runs.

In rocky areas where ground surface is rocky and uniform permitting easy access to equipment
there is no need for grading (laying of tuff, watering and compaction if required.). If the ground is
rocky with presence of large rock or disturbed profile making access difficult for machinery a
levelling excavation/backfill to permit easy access of equipment.
