Methodology-

1. Preparation and Mobilization:

 Inspection: Conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of misalignment and

document existing conditions.
 Site Preparation: Clear the work area of any obstructions and ensure safe access
for machinery and personnel.
 Safety Measures: Implement all necessary safety measures, including personal
protective equipment (PPE), signage, and barriers.

2. Space Allocation and Bench Cutting:

 Space Allocation: Ensure adequate space is allocated for the movement of heavy
machinery, including graders and rollers. The width of the working area should
accommodate the equipment without causing any operational hindrances.
 Bench Cutting: Perform bench cutting along the RE Wall section to create a stable
working platform. This will facilitate the re-laying of soil in layers and ensure
proper compaction.

3. Removal of Compacted Soil and Paraweb:

 Equipment Setup: Mobilize required equipment, including excavators, loaders, and

compaction machinery.
 Soil Removal: Carefully excavate the compacted soil from the affected section,
ensuring not to damage the underlying layers or adjacent structures.
 Paraweb Removal: Dismantle and remove the existing Paraweb material carefully.

4. Re-Alignment and Installation:

 Base Preparation: Re-grade and level the base to the required specifications to
ensure a stable foundation for reinstallation.
