Where trenching within the right-of-way is permitted, proper backfill compaction and materials
should be required. Compaction should equal that of the surrounding soil and restoration of the
area’s vegetation should be required. The combination of sub-base, base course and surface
course placed on a sub-grade to support the traffic load and distribute it to the roadbed. Field
density test required after compaction.
Jointing of Upvc Pipe: -
• Ensure that the spigot and socket are free from dust, grit, grease and as dry as possible.
• Insert pipe into the socket without seal ring in place and mark pipe when it is fully
inserted.
• Place seal in groove of socket ensuing that seal is correct way round. Rubber- seal rings
should be fitted with tapered section facing the outside of the socket.
• Apply jointing lubricant to the chamfer and the end of the Spigot of the pipe
or fitting only.
• Push the pipe firmly into the socket up to the insertion mark made.
Testing Gravity Drains
• Testing by water test will be carried out to determine acceptability of piping
installation.
• Water testing of pipelines temporarily seal low ends of drains and connections.
• Fill system with water to produce 3M at least head in a standpipe at high end.
• Allow pipeline to stand for 24 hours for absorption, topping up as necessary
6. SITE TRAFFIC RULES

6.1Intersections
 Intersections and road work will be managed in full compliance to Specifications & ZATCA best
practices. Control measures will include but not be limited to:
 Traffic will be regulated using Jersey barriers/Plastic Barriers with lights for visibility during
night time.
  Cones with lights for visibility during night time.
 Reflective chevron tape on jersey barriers and cones
 Cat eyes (Normal and solar).
 Speed humps Before and after intersection)
 Tower lights at high risk areas
 Sufficient traffic signs.
 Flagmen during daytime.

6.2 Site Entrance

Site entrance and exits to AQUA ARABIA Site office and lay down area shall be marked and appropriate w
arning signs shall be installed. Entrances and exits must be stabilized to prevent the tracking of soil and d
ebris onto the public highway. The use of stone, metal grating mats or wheel wash stations can help the r
eduction of debris. Street sweeping must be considered where debris is tracked onto the highway. Rever
se parking shall be implemented at site offices. Heavy equipment entry shall be kept minimum at site offi
ce area. Clear route for water truck, toilet suction truck shall be established. Goal post shall be installed a
t entrance points to warn drivers / operators regarding overhead cables.

6.3 Site Speed Limit

The traffic approaching a construction area will often be required to be slowed or stopped intermittently.
It is important; therefore, in planning the job to know what approach speed will be encountered.

It should not be assumed that the existing speed limit will be the maximum speed encountered. A definit
e point should be made of visiting the job site to determine others condition which might add to the pro
blem of the job protection. Limitations on sights distance, complicated intersections near the job termin
als, distracting or confusing road side conditions etc. will have to be considered to plan adequately for mi
tigation

The speed limit on all Job site access roads shall be 30Kph for light vehicles, heavy equipment and truck a
nd trailers, and inside Site Office & Lay down premises shall be 20Kph respectively. The speed limits will
be assessed for practicality and amended where necessary and as determined by the terrain and risk fac
tor

6.4 Access Roads/Haul Roads

Persons inducted onto the project will be informed of the need to only use existing and to not travel off t
he existing pavement and into other areas or on the shoulders of the road.

Plant working on the project will be restricted to the haul roads that are created as part of the Project. T
he edges of the haul roads will generally be delineated with windrows that will also serve as a safety barr
ier. In the circumstances that a windrow cannot be installed due to other constraints bunting or flagging
will be installed to delineate the haul road.

All haul roads will be constructed to ensure that safe traffic operation can be maintained at all times. Ha
ul roads will be constructed to the following standard:
 Roads will be constructed with suitable material.
  All bends and corners in haul roads will be constructed to maintain the stability of equipment
regularly using the corner or bend.
 One way haul road will have a width that is 1.5 times the maximum truck width.
 Two-way haul road will have a width that is 3 times the maximum truck width.
 Haul roads will be inspected on a regular basis to ensure they are in a satisfactory condition and
comply with plant manufactures recommendations.
 When working in stockpile areas non-essential plant will be restricted to the cleared area in
these locations.

7. TRAFFIC SIGNS

Traffic signs are utilized as a method of warning and guiding drivers, helping to regulate the flow of traffi
c among vehicles, pedestrians, and others who travel the highways and other access roadways. The traffi
c signs must be places in advance to give drivers enough time to slow down or apply break gradually dep
ending on the indication of traffic sign.

All necessary traffic sign as per KSA travel and transportation regulation will be posted on any access roa
ds. A sign survey will be conducted and additional signs will be implemented and posted where required.
Current drawings indicate sign placement made on the assumption of current site conditions and does n
ot illustrate final sign positions and placement.

The NO PARKING signboard will be installed at all intersection on the project, all of these is made from
reflector materials. Aqua Arabia is aware of this item which is dedicated to procure immediately for
further safety and security measures for company assets, everybody of the project and to others
particularly to the drivers who were involved in the project.
8. FLAGMEN
