Each layer shall be compacted by means approved by the Consultant to a minimum of 98% Standard Proctor Density, except that under roadways and parking areas, the top 1.0 m shall be compacted to 100% of Standard Proctor Density. Materials placed in the upper 0.3 m of embankments shall not contain rock which has a diameter larger than 0.10 m. The material in each layer shall be compacted at the optimum moisture content plus or minus 2%, unless otherwise required by the Consultant. In case of controversy, the degree of compaction and/or moisture content will be determined by in situ density testing before the succeeding layer is placed.

.2 Nominal compaction is required for ditches and swale bottoms to 95% standard Proctor

Maximum Dry Density (SPMDD). .3 Compaction over the entire surface area of each layer shall be obtained by equipment to

meet the specified density requirements. Hauling equipment will not be accepted in lieu of compaction equipment. Compaction to the specified density shall be obtained uniformly throughout each layer.

solid undisturbed ground. Any over excavation by the Contractor below the required grade shall be backfilled at his expense with an approved compacted material.

3.3 Unstable Subgrade

where it contains materials harmful to the pipe such as ashes, cinders, refuse, vegetable or organic material, the Contractor shall excavate such material to the width of the trench, depth and length ordered by the Consultant and dispose of the material as directed. The subgrade shall then be made by backfilling with an approved stabilizing gravel compacted in 75 mm layers. The finished subgrade surface shall be shaped by hand tools to provide a uniform and continuous support for the pipe.

.2 The stabilization gravel shall be wrapped in the non-woven geotextile as specified. The

non-woven geotextile shall be overlapped a minimum of 300 mm at all joints to provide a full, continuous wrap and shall be smooth and free of tension, stress, folds, wrinkles or creases.

3.4 Shoring

entering the trench either below or through such sheeting. The Consultant reserves the right to order the sheeting driven to the full depth of the trench or to such additional depths as may be required for the protection of the work.

.2 Trench bracing may be removed when the backfilling has reached the respective level of

such bracing. Sheeting shall be removed as the backfilling proceeds. Backfilling of holes left by sheeting below the trench bottom shall be carefully compacted, and thereafter backfilling and withdrawal of sheeting shall proceed together. No voids shall be left in the backfill by the withdrawal of the sheeting.

.3 When a cage or shield is used in the trench instead of shoring, special care shall be taken to ensure that there is no lateral or longitudinal movement of the pipe when the cage is moved. The cage shall be raised vertically so that the bottom member is clear of the crown of the pipe before the cage is pulled forward in the trench.

.2 The trench shall be so drained that the workmen may work safely and effectively. All

water encountered in trenches shall be pumped or bailed out, and in no case shall the pipe be used as a drain for such water. Contractor will be required to replace bedding material at these encountered locations, incidental to the original rate. It is essential that the discharge of the trench dewatering pumps be conducted away from the site of the work and into natural drainage channels, drains or storm sewers.

3.6 Backfilling

.1 Bedding and initial backfilling shall be as specified for the particular pipe installed. .2 General backfilling:

.1 Class 1 backfill as defined in Section 1.1 - Definitions shall be used. .2 No boulders, rock, ice, snow, organic material or debris shall be permitted in the

trench. These unsuitable materials shall be hauled and disposed of offsite. .3 All surplus excavated material shall also be hauled away or disposed of as

directed by the Consultant. In the event of deficiency of backfill material, suitable material shall be supplied by the Contractor at his expense. Supplied material shall be approved by the Consultant prior to importing to site.

.4 All trenches shall be backfilled as the work proceeds and no more than 30 m

shall be left open at the end of a day’s work. All open trenches to be fenced off to prevent wildlife entrapment.

.3 Culvert backfilling:

.1 Backfill with suitable engineering fill such as well-graded sand and gravel. Placement of backfill material should not exceed 150 mm in compacted thickness.

.4 Boardwalk backfilling:

.1 Backfill with suitable engineering fill such as well-graded sand and gravel. Backfill should be free from gravel sizes or larger than 100 mm in diameter, and free from frozen, organic, or other deleterious materials.

3.7 Backfill Compaction

.1 The Contractor shall be responsible for adequate compaction of the trenches and for the correction of settlement during the maintenance period of the Contract. Mechanical compaction equipment shall not be used until there is sufficient cover to prevent damage to the pipe.



.1 Trenches shall be compacted in 150 mm layers to 98% of Standard Proctor Density. Under roadways and parking areas, the top 1.0 meter shall be compacted to 100% of Standard Proctor Density.

.2 Culvert and boardwalk compaction is required at the bottom 150 mm thick lift of

backfill and top 300 mm backfill which is 95% of standard SPMDD within ±2% optimum moisture content (OMC), and in accordance with Parkland County Engineering Design Standards.

.2 The type of compaction equipment shall be chosen with regard to minimizing the

vibration effect on nearby buildings and utilities. The Contractor shall inspect the condition of buildings prior to construction. The Consultant shall have the right to request the Contractor to replace any equipment causing unacceptable vibrations. The Contractor is responsible for any damage caused to buildings due to construction.

3.8 Testing Backfill Compaction

.1 Compaction results shall be based on a minimum of one density test per culvert. unless a greater degree of testing is required under Section 01 45 00 - Quality Assurance and Quality Control. Additional tests may be called for by the Consultant as deemed necessary.

.2 If a density test indicates insufficient compaction at any depth, then two more densities,

where are proportionally representative of trench length, shall be taken at that depth. If the average of these tests is below the required density, the trench shall be re-excavated and re-compacted to meet the specified density.

.3 This testing in no way relieves the Contractor of his maintenance responsibilities with

respect to settlements as specified. The Contractor shall repair any settlement and damaged surface improvements due to the settlement, which occurs during the maintenance period.

.4 The cost of all initial testing will be borne by the Department and the Contractor is

responsible for the costs of any re-testing for areas where initial testing failed. Non-conformity with the specified density or moisture content shall constitute sufficient grounds for rejection of the work.

3.9 Tree Clearing and Protection

.1 The Owner objective is to minimize the damage or removal of healthy trees during the installation of any improvements under this contract. The Contractor shall become fully aware of the working area constraints and bid accordingly. The Contractor shall not remove any trees in any area without prior approval of the Consultant.
