    Uploaded by

    Kalai Mani
    This document outlines procedures for backfilling works including: 1) Material selection from approved sources and testing to verify compaction properties. 2) Backfilling in layers not exceeding 200mm/300mm thickness and compacting each layer to 80-95% compaction depending on depth. 3) Quality control testing of compaction levels and restricting backfilling around structures until leakage testing is complete.

    1. PURPOSE

    Page 2 of 5
    Katerra.com Method Statement for Backfilling Works

    The purpose of this method statement is to outline the procedures involved in back filling works including
    selection of material, backfilling procedure, test requirement etc.

    This method statement should be read in conjunction with Katerra SOP and relevant Indian standards, and
    structural specifications. Any conflict between BOQ, specifications, GFC drawings etc. should be brought
    to the notice of the client and get resolved before procurement/execution.

    2. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

     It is the responsibility of the contractor to maintain safe and clean working conditions in all activities
    related to backfilling works.
     Utmost care should be taken to prevent any accident during any activity of back filling work such as
    accidents due to movement of vehicles, damage of live services, inappropriate storage of backfill
    material, improper barricading of the trenches, insufficient signage, improper handling of the
    compacting equipment’s, etc.
     Risk assessment should be carried out before the work starts. Risk assessment should contain all
    possible risks, risk rating without control measures, control measures and risk rating after
    implementation of corrective measures. Tool box talks should be conducted every week explaining
    possible risks and its control measures. Record of risk assessment should be forwarded to the Kef
    Infra HSE head within 24 hours from conducting the tool box talk.
     Clean environment should be maintained all around the work place including place of backfill,
    storage location of backfill material etc. Proper dust control measures should be adopted at site to
    prevent spreading of dust due to truck and other machinery movement. Roads should be cleaned by
    the contractor whenever there is spillage of soil from the truck while moving inside the site or in
    public road.

    3. QUALITY CONTROL & QUALITY ASSURANCE

     Utmost care should be taken to ensure that the backfilling is being carried out as per the approved

    drawings only.

     Material from approved source only should be used for backfilling works. Soil with excess clay like

    black cotton soil, soil with debris and vegetation should not be used.

     Soil sample should be tested in 3rd party lab to verify the Atterberg limits, maximum dry density

    (MDD), optimum moisture content (OMC) etc. prior to start using at site for backfilling.

     The back fill material should not contain boulder of size exceeding 50mm

     Backfilling should be carried out in layers. Unless otherwise mentioned the compacted layer

    thickness should not exceed 200mm for the top 1m and 300mm below top 1m portion.

     The top layer (sub-grade) just below super structure should achieve 95% of compaction. Three

    layers below the top layer should achieve 90% and layers below that need to achieve 80%

    compaction.

     Tests should be conducted to determine degree of compaction.

     Backfilling around the water retaining structures shall be done only after testing of structures against

    leakage is done.

     Backfilling behind retaining walls shall be done only after completion of waterproofing works.

    While compacting, the soil layer, extreme care should be taken to avoid the damage of

    waterproofing treatment by the movement of compacting equipment’s.

    5. EXECUTION OF WORK

     Backfilling work shall not start until site Engineer gives his approval to do so. Material used for
    backfilling shall be any one or combination of soil types mentioned.
     Backfilling shall be done in layers. The thickness of compacted layer shall not exceed 200mm for
    top 1m depth of backfill and 300mm for depth below 1m.

     The soil then shall be watered adequately and to be compacted using mechanical compacting
    equipment’s when the moisture content in the soil is optimum. The optimum moisture content in the
    soil shall be determined through third party lab investigation.
     The top layer (sub-grade) just below super structure should achieve 95% of compaction. Three
    layers below the top layer should achieve 90% and layers below that need to achieve 80%
    compaction.
     After completion of the final layer of soil, at least three cores shall be taken from the areas directed
    by the client or client representative and the soil shall be tested in laboratory for the degree of
    compaction achieved.
     If the soil is excessively wet, it shall be allowed to dry sufficient before compaction. Approximately
    OMC should be maintained.
     Compaction shall be done with suitable mechanical equipment such as plate vibrator, vibratory or
    tendon roller, or 10T power roller as suitable for the area to be compacted. In areas where
    mechanized compaction cannot be done, hand compaction shall be resorted to as directed by the site
    engineer. Overall compacted thickness of soil shall be 200mm (max) unless mentioned otherwise.
     Backfilling around the water retaining structures shall be done only after testing of structures against
    leakage is done.
     Backfilling behind retaining walls shall be done only after completion of waterproofing works.
    While compacting, the soil layer, extreme care should be taken to avoid the damage of
    waterproofing treatment by the movement of compacting equipment’s.
     Any such discrepancy should be brought to the notice of the client or client representative and proper
    corrective action should be implemented before proceeding with further backfilling.
