adequately protect during the course of the works.

CLEARING OPERATIONS:
General clearing: Remove everything on or above the site surface, including rubbish, vegetable
matter and organic debris, scrub, timber, stumps, boulders, rubble, and the like. Disturbed landscape
areas not shown as turf are to be seeded with a temporary annual grass species.

Existing grass: Eradicate weeds using a non-residual herbicide. Remove existing grass to a depth
just sufficient to include the root zone.

CONTRACTOR'S SITE AREAS: If not included within the areas specified above, clear generally only
to the extent necessary for the performance of the Works.

10. EXCAVATING

10.1 REMOVAL OF TOPSOIL

REQUIREMENT: Remove topsoil down to not less than the bottom of the grass root zone from site
areas to be occupied or affected by works such as buildings, paving, excavations, embankments,
regrading, and the like, and any other areas shown on the Drawings or specified to have topsoil
removed.

Surplus topsoil and subsoil is to be removed from site.

10.2 EXCAVATIONS
EXTENT: Excavate as required or as shown on the Drawings, including but not necessarily limited to
the following:

Site surface: Excavate over the site to give correct levels and profiles as the basis for construction,
paving, filling, landscaping and the like. Make allowance for compaction or settlement.

Footings: Excavate for footings, pits, and the like, to the required sizes and depths.

PROOF ROLLING: Proof roll excavations for pavements, filling and non-spanning slabs on ground to
determine the extent of any bad ground.

PROOF ROLLING METHOD: Proof roll excavated subgrades before placing any fill or pavement
materials using a 10 tonne minimum static weight roller to detect soft or heaving areas with more
than 3mm movement. Give notice as specified in BAD GROUND.

EXCAVATION IN PUBLIC AREAS: Before excavating any public area including roads, footpaths,
reserves, and the like obtain the approval of the relevant authorities and comply with their
requirements for alternative traffic arrangements, excavation methods, backfilling and reinstatement.

REINSTATEMENT: Restore areas outside the limits of the Works, which have been disturbed by the
Works, to their original condition on completion of the excavation. Reinstate surfaces to their original
level without subsidence and without cracking at junctions with existing surfaces.

10.5 EXISTING SERVICES

APPROVAL: Do not excavate by machine within 1m of existing underground services without prior
approval.

LOCATION: Position of existing services shown on drawing are approximate only and must be
confirmed on site before commencing work.

10.6 BAD GROUND

DEFINITION: Ground unsuitable for the purposes of the Works, including filling liable to subsidence,
ground containing cavities, faults or fissures, ground contaminated by harmful substances including
oil, cement, chemicals and the like, or ground which is or becomes soft, wet and unstable, and the
like. Bad ground also includes ground containing substantial amounts of organic material.

NOTIFICATION: If bad ground is encountered, give notice immediately and obtain instructions before
carrying out any further work in the affected area.

10.7 SUBGRADES AFFECTED BY MOISTURE

REQUIREMENT: Where the existing subgrade or filling is unable to support construction equipment
or it is not possible to compact the overlying pavement because of a high moisture content caused by
rainfall occurring after the exposure of the existing subgrade or filling, the Contractor shall be deemed
to have caused the conditions. Perform one or more of the following at no extra charge and without
extension of time (except for the actual period of rainfall) for completion:

- allow the subgrade to dry until it will support equipment and allow compaction; and/or scarify
the subgrade to a depth of 150mm, work as necessary to accelerate drying, and recompact
when the moisture content approximates the optimum; and/or

- excavate the wet material and remove to stockpile for later reuse, when dried. Replace with
suitable select fill compacted as specified.

10.8 BEARING SURFACES

LOADBEARING ELEMENTS: Provide even plane bearing surfaces for loadbearing elements
including footings and the like. Step as necessary, or as shown on the Drawings, to accommodate
level changes. Make the steps to the appropriate courses if supporting masonry.

DETERIORATION: If the bearing surface deteriorates after approval because of water or other
cause, excavate further to a sound surface before placing the loadbearing element.

10.9 EXCESS EXCAVATION

VARIATION: The Contractor shall not be entitled to contract variation or extension of time for
excavation in excess of that required by the Contract, including excavation below required depths, or
additional excavation which the Contractor may elect to undertake to permit the use of certain
constructional plant, and any consequent additional backfilling, compacting or testing.

10.10 REINSTATEMENT
REQUIREMENT: Where excavation exceeds the required extent, whether as a result of directions in
respect of bad ground, or excess excavation by the Contractor, or the discovery of voids, fissures and
the like, reinstate to the correct depth and required bearing value, including but not necessarily limited
to the following:

- Below or within the "line of influence" of footings, beams, or other structural elements:
concrete of strength equal to the structural element, minimum 15MPa.
LINE OF INFLUENCE: Angle from horizontal: 45o
- Below slabs or pavements: selected filling compacted to the specified density. In cut
subgrades if the over excavation is less than 100mm, do not backfill, but make good by
increasing the thickness of the layer above. Backfill rock depressions and over excavation of
subsoil drains with coarse subsoil filter.

12. PLACING AND COMPACTION

12.1 PREPARATION FOR FILLING

GENERALLY: Suitably prepare the ground surface to receive filling, including topsoil filling where
applicable.

UNDER SLABS, PAVING AND EMBANKMENTS: Compact the ground to achieve the densities
specified for these locations. If necessary loosen the ground to a depth of 200 mm and adjust the
moisture content before compaction.

BENCHING: If filling is to be placed against a ground surface which slopes more than 1:4, bench the
ground surface to form a key for the filling. As each layer of filling is placed, cut the existing ground
surface progressively as the filling is placed, to form a series of horizontal steps at least 1m in width.
Recompact the material thus excavated as part of the filling.

12.2 PLACING FILLING

EXTENT: Place and compact filling to the dimensions, levels, grades, and cross sections as shown
on the Drawings, so that the surface is always self draining.
LAYERS: Place filling in layers not exceeding 150mm compacted layer thickness.

PLACING AGAINST CONCRETE: Do not place filling against concrete until the concrete has been in
place for fourteen days.

PLACING AT STRUCTURES: Place and compact filling in layers simultaneously on both sides of
structures, culverts and pipelines to avoid differential loading.

12.3 PLACING TOPSOIL

CULTIVATION: Cultivate the ground surface in preparation for placing topsoil by ripping to a depth of
100mm, or to the depth of the rippable subgrade (if less), to loosen the compacted ground. Do not
disturb services or tree roots; if necessary cultivate these areas by hand. Trim after cultivation to
shapes and levels such that the required depth of topsoil can be placed to the specified finished
surface levels.

COMPACTION: Lightly compact topsoil so that the finished surface is smooth, free from lumps of
soil, at the required level, ready for cultivation and planting.

FINISHING: Finish topsoil flush with abutting kerbs, edge strips and paved surfaces. Feather edges
into adjoining undisturbed ground.

12.4 COMPACTION
DENSITY: Compact each layer of filling to the required depth and density.
PROTECTION: Protect the Works from damage due to compaction operations. Where necessary,
limit the size of compaction equipment or compact by hand. Commence compacting each layer at the
structure and proceed away from it.
MOISTURE CONTENT: Adjust the moisture content of filling at the time of compaction.
COMPACTION STANDARD: (For maximum dry density): ASTM D698 - 70

COMPACTION SCHEDULE:

AREA COMPACTION MOISTURE % FROM

RATIO % OPTIMUM

On Ground Slab, Footings 98% Standard -1,+2

Fill & Landscape 95% Standard -2,+2

Pavement 98% Standard -1,+2
