    1. Background.
    An Engineer’s Pre-Quality Checklist indicated that approximately 3126 metres of
    Subsoil Soil Drains are required at the Xmas Pass section. Due to the constrained
    nature of the site some sections not accessible by TLB will have to be excavated by
    hand.

    2. Introduction
    This Method Statement (MST UT 013) describes the construction sequences to be
    followed for the construction of the subsoil drain at the Christmas Pass section.

    Applicable Specifications and Standards

    Specification

    Reference Standards

    SATCC 1998 Edition : Section 2100


    Project specifications : Preliminary Design – Report Rev 1, 27/06/2011
    Construction schedules : HEME – Xmas Pass 256074 - 260084

    3. Plant + Equipment

    Item No Operation
    TLB 1 Excavation
    Survey Equipment 1 Level Control
    Hand Tools(picks. Shovels, wheel burrows many Excavation, backfilling, laying
    Hand Rammers 1 Compaction of backfill
    Tipper Trucks 1 Movement of filter material

    4. Method
    I. Set out as shown on chainages in the subsoil drain pre-quality document.
    II. Engineer inspects and approves the setting out.
    III. Excavate to the required depth either, 1.2m, 1.5m or 1.7m and width of
    600mm. Care being taken to ensure that the subsoil drain discharge points
    are above the culvert inverts to prevent siltation blockage.
    IV. After excavation, finish off the bedding to ensure an even grade. Where
    the excavated width is in excess of the required width, this shall be
    corrected by shuttering and backfill on the outer side of the trench.

    V. Place the Bidum into the trench and pin to the sides of the trench ensuring
    that sufficient length is provided to give an overlap of at least 200mm
    when the Bidum is wrapped around the filter material.
    VI. Place filter material on the Bidum covered trench to a depth of 35mm.
    VII. Place and join the perforated PVC pipes ensuring that the perforations lie
    symmetrically on the bottom sides, centre and anchor the pipes in position.
    VIII. Add filter material to the required depth ensuring that the process does not
    distort the alignment of the PVC pipes.
    IX. Unhook the Bidum and complete the wrapping of the filter material with
    at-least 200mm overlap of the Bidum.
    X. Place and compact an impervious backfill of at-least 150mm thickness,
    compaction shall be in layers not exceeding 100mm each ensuring that this
    forms a plug/seal preventing surface storm water gaining access to the
    subsoil drain. The end of the pipe on the upstream side shall be sealed with
    a concrete plug of 150mm square.
    XI. The drain can then be finished off by a concrete lined drain or a soil
    cement lined drain.

    7.0 Safety
    All works will take place on the existing road.
    1. Traffic accommodation as per drawings and risk assessment.
    2. All trenches shall be barricaded with danger tape.
    3. The supervisor shall assess the risk of trench collapse daily.
    4. Excavation shall proceed from the discharge point upwards to prevent ponding that
    might undermine the road structure.

    8.0 Environmental
    All loose material to be carted away and disposed of at approved sites to prevent
    siltation.
