1. PURPOSE
The Purpose of this method statement is to present the methodology of fill compaction using Rapid Impact
Compaction (RIC) is an innovative and alternate method for soil improvement for shallow depths up to 4m
using impact compaction and Dynamic compaction (DC) for lifts more than 4m. The RIC method has been
used successfully in projects with varying soil conditions and depths. The RIC rig is adaptable to most
soils, materials with percentages up to 15% fine content with minimal clay/silt content. This method
statement follows Aramco standard referred as SAES-A-114 which is related specifically to rapid impact
compaction works. Whereas DC technique will follow the standard referred as SABP-A- 073.
In this method statement, we state our intentions for managing and supporting the project and the specific
approach that will be taken for certain key aspects. The main content includes the requirements, materials,
equipment and HSE regulations for works, the procedures need to be performed in all operations and the
method to check on site the material, spacing, depth and all other parameters related to RIC works.
The purpose of this method statement is to give details on the Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC)/Dynamic
compaction technique for fill compaction as per project specification and requirements.

e) Specification: Rough Grading & site preparation specifications of ref: BI - 25-00040 JO – 0013 –
DOC no. SE-010056
f) IFC Drawings
4. COMPACTION CRITERIA
The design criteria for the backfilling compaction activity will be based on following:
For Areas which will be compacted by RIC/DC
70% Relative density (performance line) as per project specification se-010056 section 3.8
Page 11 of 29
FILL COMPACTION FOR
5. PROJECT ZONING
As mentioned before, the project consists of fill and cut areas. The work methodology will follow the
zoning provided in Appendix A. The project will consist of seven zones referred as Zone 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6 and 7.
The cut areas are highlighted in red color whereas the fill area is highlighted in green color. Each
Zone will consist of blocks (100m X 100m) and each block will have ID.
6. SEQUENCE OF WORKS
With reference to the type of soil, the fines content, the depth of improvement and the project’s
acceptance criteria, we believe that Rapid Impact compaction technique is the right and most
appropriate methodology to improve the mechanical properties of the fill layers and make it
competent enough to bear the load of the projected developments. This technique as per SAES-A-
114 will be limited to 4m thickness. The thicknesses more than 4m will be compacted using Dynamic
compaction technique.
7. GENERAL WORK SEQUENCE
To execute the compaction and soil improvement works, the following

sequence will be followed:
• Natural grade elevation survey before Filling and compaction
• Clearing and grubbing inspections (if any);
• Establish Grids every 100m x 100m;
• Rough grading activities: Cutting, filling and Inspections;
• Setting out of sectors, compaction points by GPS;
Page 12 of 29
FILL COMPACTION FOR
• Trial areas to be conducted as mentioned in section 9.2.

• RIC compaction as per the setting out drawings numbering sequence
• Post-CPT tests for the compacted area as mentioned in section 9
• Final grading and proof rolling means grading at final levels. No grading will be done
if the fill requires two stages or more of filling/compaction. Grading will be at the final
level only. Request for Inspection (RFI’s) for final inspection will be raised only after
post-CPT had been conducted, prior to handing over of the areas to avoid re-work.
• Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) and Inspection Checklist (IC) has to be developed
based on the approved Method Statement as acceptance criteria of each process.
• For areas where Trials & Post CPTs have been completed, the Trial/Calibration reports
including post treatment calculations based on the actual post quality control test in
relation to the project specifications shall be submitted to
• Project Management Representative (PMT).
• Reports submittal including; drawings, post-testing and results.
8. SPECIFIC SEQUENCE OF WORK:

Accordingly, we may identify the following:
For Cut Areas:

Pre-CPT testing will be performed for the verification of sabkha or loose layer.in case CPT shows
loose layer, compaction to achieve as per project requirement. After compaction for loose area,
post-CPT testing will be performed to verify the achieve required compaction.
In case, Pre-CPT achieves the design criteria, no compaction is
required. Final Grading and Proof rolling to be provided before
execution of next activity.
For Fill Areas:
• Clearing & grubbing if needed according to the project requirements.
• Preparation of the fill thickness as per final ground level. However, 0.5m depth of existing
soil to be considered loos due to equipment commuting and fill for first phase shall be
maximum to 3.5m.
• Perform Trial areas for RIC and DC
• Compaction for areas with maximum lift 4m using RIC technique
• Compaction for areas with lifts more than 4m using DC technique
Page 13 of 29
FILL COMPACTION FOR
• Final Grading and Proof rolling

• Carry out Quality control testing by post-CPT tests down to the thickness of fill (1 CPT/
4 ,000 m2), then issuance of handing over reports after rough grading and final ironing
using roller compaction.
• Submission for reports
The post-CPT tests will be witnessed by 3 rd party company and reports will be stamped and
signed by 3rd party company.
To execute the compaction works, the following sequence is to be followed;
1. Full ground survey on each area to be compacted.
2. Establishing grids/blocks and zones for the areas
3. Setting out compaction points by GPS
4. RIC/DC compaction as per the setting out drawings numbering sequence.
9. POST-TESTING AND REPORTING
To ensure the stability of the CPT equipment and trafficability, the top surface of soil shall be
leveled with a maximum acceptable slope of 5 % .
In case of presence of fine-grained materials with a percentage of fines more than 15%, then the
existing soil can’t be used to fill the craters and an imported granular material shall be mixed with
the fine material in order to reach an acceptable fine content percentage. This platform could
be used to backfill the RIC craters during compaction.
All backfilling material required prior, during or after the compaction works should meet the
following specifications:
- Well graded granular material with up to 15% fine contents (passing sieve #200)
- Non-plastic
- Free from organic matter and deleterious substances, physically stable in water.
10. PRE-TESTING FOR CALIBRATION WORK.
GH will perform 1 pre-CPT for fill depth to enable for final design grid spacing and blows number.
The pre-CPT/post-CPT testing will be performed by C PT calibrated machine.
10.1 WORK PREPARATION

• The compaction area will be free obstructions and other trades.
• Survey of the trial area is to be undertaken prior to compaction works,
Page 14 of 29
FILL COMPACTION FOR
• The survey is to be extend to additional width of compaction area as per site

condition.
• The trial area is to be set out by GPS with visible markers on the ground for operator
guidance.
• The locations of the Pre-Compaction CPT’s will be identified and marked and prior to
calibration work.
11. Calibration Works (Trial Area)
Calibration works will be carried out in order to optimize the production parameters by applying
the preliminary compaction parameters with not less than 30m X 30m in plan dimensions with
more than one grid spacing for both techniques RIC and DC. The trial will be done to determine
the grid and spacing in addition to the number of blows for RIC and DC.
The grid and spacing for trials depend on the thickness of the fill.
At the end of the calibration exercise, the following main parameters will be determined:
- Grid spacing which shall be used for all project areas.
- Drop height
- Optimum number of blows per print
- Number of phases
- Type of pounder and its diameter A t r a i l calibration report will be provided including pre &
post CPT-test results, comparison pre/post-tests, analysis of project criteria. The energy
parameters shall be always monitored on site and adjusted when necessary to ensure the
homogeneous improvement all over the site. Detailed RIC/DC prints layout will be prepared
according to the trials output for each Compaction stage.
Conducting CPT during the progress of the works will assist in evaluating the compaction process
prior to final testing. CPT Rig and an example of treatment results after compaction are shown in
