surface 2. Embankment height > 1.0 m Existing surface scarify, subject to decision on Engineer.

4.Embankment  Precaution to see the structure is not disturbed by the
around structures embankment filling.
 Filling near to structure shall not be carried out till the
concrete or masonry work in position at least for7day
unless otherwise directed by engineer.
 Filling surround structure - By using suitable material
and equipment as mechanically operated Hand
rammers to reach compacted densities. As on
Paragraph - 4.5
 Fill up simultaneously on each side to avoid unequal
pressure acting it.

5. Embankment Unable to bear load of compacted equipment. Compaction of

over soft ground initial layer carried as given in contract document or directed
by the Engineer.
