for hand-operated compaction. Sec. 6.3.3.3

Other lift thicknesses shall be allowed with approval by the Saudi Aramco

Sec. 6.3.5.1
foundation.

Compacted surfaces of fill and backfill shall be finish graded to the cross SAES-A-114

sections, lines, grades and elevations as indicated on the drawings. Sec. 6.3.7

Backfilling and removal of trench supports shall be accomplished by

backfilling up to a level allowing for removal of the lower braces; Another
