Quality Control Procedures

Sampling and testing
Samples of soil would be taken from the borrow location and those samples would
be placed in a polythene bag providing identification tag. All required tests would
be carried out in the materials testing laboratory to confirm that those materials
are in which category. After testing and with the satisfying results, excavation
would be preceded and those materials would be stock piled at the site.

Even the materials are properly stock piled at the site the materials in the stock
pile would be tested before issuing for the construction purpose. No materials
would be allowed to execute in the construction work until the required tests are
completed and satisfied.
Inspection Check list
To ensure that the all activities being performed with the expected quality, an
inspection check list would be filled by the person in charge for the borrow
excavation in case of preconstruction, during construction. The inspection check
list shall include the specific requirements, safety and environmental measures.
See Inspection Check List

Dimension control
In case of the excavation of borrow materials, it is essential to have the designated
limits of the borrow site to maximize the quality of the borrow materials. When the
excavation is beyond the designated limit, it tends to mix with unsuitable
materials. Methodology
Clearing of the borrow site
1 The location and dimensions of the borrow pits would be identified as
instructed by the Engineer.
2 All ordinary jungles, stumps and roots would be removed by a manual mean
or using any other suitable equipment within the approved borrow area.
3 All removed matters would be collected to a place and then they would be
disposed to a suitable disposal location or burned at the site with the judgment
of the Engineer.

Stripping of the overburden

1 The overburden would be removed up to the required depth by using suitable
mechanical devise and those materials would not be allowed to mix with other
materials classified as suitable for filling.
2 The all unsuitable materials would be disposed to a suitable disposal location
by means of tipper trucks.
See Flow Chart of Borrow Excavation
Excavation
1 Borrow excavation would be carried out using a Back-hoe loader and would be
properly stock piled with well-drain facilities. The material from the borrow pits
would be blasted, ripped and excavated in a manner that will ensure the
effective breaking down of the material in the borrow pit before it is loaded.
2 Rippable material which tends to break into large blocks would be cross
ripped. Borrow materials would be confirmed to the requirement before the
application. Dump trucks would be applied for the transportation of borrow
material.

and degree of compaction for each layer would be achieved. Field density test
would be carried out in case of checking the degree of compaction according to the
method stipulated in the relevant BS codes. See Inspection Test Plan.
2. Inspection Check list
To ensure that the all activities being performed with the expected quality, an
inspection check list would be filled by the person in charge for this work in case
of pre-construction, during construction. The inspection check list shall include the
specific requirements, safety and environmental measures.
3. Dimension Control
Preparation of sub grade would be carried out according to the designed cross
sections. The required depth and length of the excavation would be properly
maintained during construction and those requirements would be checked with the
inspection check list.
4.0 Methodology
• If the exposed layer of soil unsuitable for sub grade, these layers would be
excavated up to the required depth by using a back-hoe loader and the
required levels of the excavation would be controlled by the surveyor.
• Selected suitable material would be placed and compacted in successive layers
by using rammers or vibrating rollers to a minimum depth of 150 mm.
• If the exposed layer of soil suitable for the sub grade, the layer would be
thoroughly compacted by using vibrator rollers or rammers until reach the
required compaction.
• The top 150mm sub grade layer in cut areas would be compacted to not less
than 95% of the maximum dry density of the material at moisture content within
2% of the optimum moisture content as determined by AASHTO T-180. Water
would be sprayed while compacting for achieving a better compaction.
• The surface of the finished sub grade would be neat and workmanlike and
would have the form, super elevation, levels, grades and cross section
as shown on the drawings.See methodology flow Chart

4.0 Quality Control
Procedures 4.1 Sampling and
testing
The materials Engineer would take the samples from the excavated materials to
check weather those materials are suitable or unsuitable for backfilling and the
results of the test would be forwarded to the Engineer for approval.
Excavated Soil:
Samples of soil would be taken from the locations where the embankment
construction is carried out and those samples would be placed in a polythene bag
providing identification tag. All required tests would be carried out in the materials
testing laboratory according to the frequencies specified in the technical
specification to confirm wether the material is suitable for back filling or not.
Filling Material:

pits or from any other excavation. Those materials would be tested as specified in
the technical specification prior to the application by taking samples according to the
required frequency.
Each layer of those materials would be tested for the required degree of
compaction by the method stipulated in the BS 1377. The minimum degree of
compaction to be achieved is 95 % of the MDD for the top 150 mm layer and 93%
for the remainder of the embankment.

4.2 Inspection Check list
