9. Method statement
Contract Package No.6
The construction procedure will be followed below steps and shall be instructed by
the Engineer.
9.1. Preparation
- The location of trial compaction work will be on area after site clearing and
grubbing work finished. Marking the trial compaction area at 4 corners by bamboo
pile;
- Sand material should be approved by the Engineer, checking at material storage yard
(gather sand at the area Km4+040-Km4+080) in accordance with mechanical
characteristics of sand before transporting to the site;
- Calculating necessary sand quantity for trial compacted section based on the
thickness of filling layer before compacted thickness 25, 30.
9.2. Leveling Material
After Sand transported to the site & dumped at the required positions, the contractor
will carry out leveling layer by layer according to the horizontal by bulldozer.
Using bulldozer to flatten material layer by layer with uniform thickness h=30, 25.
9.3. Control plan and moisture adjustment
After spreading the sand out on the compaction area, the sand moisture will be
checked, if the actual moisture less than 3% or higher 1% optimum moisture the
work of spreading and compaction can be carried out. In case of the actual moisture
> 3%, the sand will be spread and exposed to the sun to reduce the moisture to Wop
(3%> Wop >1%), if the actual moisture less than 1% the work of supply more water
by water pump and tank truck is necessary.
9.4. Work Execution steps
The contractor will carry out the trial construction of 25cm layer, if the density
meets requirement, the contractor will apply for construction of 25cm layers in
whole route.
The construction procedure will be followed below steps:
- Use the bulldozer to level the area of trial compaction smoothly;
- Marking the trial compaction area at 4 corners by bamboo pile;
- Use bulldozer to level the sand smoothly. Before compaction, the thickness of sand
layer shall be 25. The trial compaction layers shall be compacted and shaped to a 4
% grade from the center to both sides for drainage of rainwater during construction;
- Compact from out site to in side

- Use static roller with 10-12T compact 3 times/1 point.
- Use vibrating roller with 25T compact 5 times/ 1 point.
- Check the density if it achieves K95, the contractor will stop for defining
compaction factor.
- If it does not achieve the required density, the contractor will use vibrating roller
with 25T for compaction 2 more times. After the contractor for will check the
density, if it still doesn’t achieves K95, the contractor will keep compacting 2 more
times up to the density K95 define compaction factor.
The accepted compaction sequence shall be applied for embankment construction
work.

“Environmental Control” shall be conforming to Approved Environmental Control
and Protection Plan (Reference to letter (Ref.No. STCJV/20140606-1) dated 6th
June, 2014) shall be part of this method statement.
If any other problems occurred in the site, applicable counter measures or
prevention action shall be considered immediately and executed as soon as possible.
To make the drainage ditch for collecting water into a batch basin for settlement
before pump out. Pump will be installed for dewatering in order to keep dry
construction area.
