removed even below the final level and extra excavation filled up as directed by the
ENGINEER. The final excavation if so instructed by the ENGINEER, should be
carried out just prior to laying mud mat.
8.3 The CONTRACTOR may, for facility of work or similar other reasons excavate, and
also backfill later, if so approved by the ENGINEER, at his own cost outside the
lines shown on the drawings or directed by the ENGINEER. Should any excavation
shall fill it up, with earth of the same class upto the required elevation. No extra cost
shall be claimed by the CONTRACTOR on this account.
8.4 All excavation shall be done to the minimum dimensions as required for safety and
working facility. Prior approval of the ENGINEER shall be obtained by the
CONTRACTOR in each individual case, for the method he proposes to adopt for
the excavation, including dimensions, side slopes, dewatering, disposal etc. This
approval, however, shall not in any way relieve the CONTRACTOR of his
responsibility for any consequent loss or damage. The excavation must be carried
out in the most expeditious and efficient manner. Side slopes shall be as steep as
will stand safely for the actual soil conditions encountered. Every precaution shall
be taken to prevent slips. Should slip occur, the slipped material shall be removed
and the slope earth will not be paid for if the slips are due to the negligence of the
CONTRACTOR.
9.0 DEWATERING
9.1 All excavations shall be kept free of water. Grading in the vicinity of excavation shall
be properly closed to prevent surface water running into excavated areas.


Page 54 of 212
Rev:R0
CONTRACTOR shall remove by pumping or other means approved by ENGINEER

any water inclusive of rain water and subsoil water accumulated in excavation and
keep all excavations dewatered during pile load tests and during concreting
operations till back filling is completed. Sumps made for dewatering must be kept
clear of the excavations/trenches required for further work. Method of pumping shall
be approved by the ENGINEER: but in any case, the pumping arrangement shall
be such that there shall be no movement of subsoil or blowing in due to differential
head of water during pumping. Pumping arrangements shall be adequate to ensure
no delays in construction.
9.2 When there is a continuous inflow of water and quantum of water to be handled is
considered in the opinion of ENGINEER, as large, well point system-shall be
adopted. CONTRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER his scheme of well point
system including the spacing, number and diameter of well points, headers etc, and
the numbers, capacity and location of pumps of approvals. Unless separately
provided in the Schedule of prices, the cost of dewatering shall be included in the
item rate for excavation and concreting.
10.0 FILLING AND GRADING
10.1 General
All fill material will be subjected to the ENGINEER’s approval, if any material is
rejected by the ENGINEER, the CONTRACTOR shall remove the same forthwith
from the site at no extra cost to the owner. Surplus fill material shall be
deposited/disposed off as directed by the ENGINEER after the fill work is
completed.
No earthfill shall commence until surface water discharges and streams have been
properly intercepted or otherwise dealt with as directed by the ENGINEER.
10.2 Selected surplus soils from excavated materials shall be used as fill. Fill material
shall be free from clods, salts, sulphates, organic or other foreign material. All cods
of earth shall be broken or removed.
10.3 Filling in pits and around foundations of structures, walls etc,.
As soon as the work in foundations has been accepted and measured, the spaces
around the foundations, structures, pits trenches etc shall be cleared of all debris,


Page 55 of 212
Rev:R0
and filled with earth in layers not exceeding 15 cm, each layer being watered,
rammed and properly consolidated, before the succeeding one is laid. Each layer
shall be consolidated to the satisfaction of the ENGINEER. Earth shall be rammed
with approved mechanical compaction machines. Usually no manual compaction
shall be allowed unless the ENGINEER is satisfied that in some cases manual
compaction by tampers cannot be avoided. The final backfill surface shall be
trimmed and levelled to proper profile as directed by the ENGINEER and as
indicated in construction drawings.
10.4 Plinth filling
Plinth filling shall be carried out with approved material as described herein before
in layers not exceeding 15 cm, watered and compacted with mechanical
compaction machines. The ENGINEER may however permit manual compaction by
hand tampers in case he is satisfied that mechanical compaction is not possible.
When filling reaches the finished level, the surface shall be flooded with water,
unless otherwise directed, for at least 24 hours allowed to dry and then the surface
again compacted as specified above to avoid settlements at a later stage. The
finished level of the filling shall be trimmed to the level/slope specified.
10.5 General Site Grading
10.5.1 Site grading shall be carried out as directed in the drawings and as directed by the
ENGINEER. Filling and compaction shall be carried out as specified under clause
10.0 and elsewhere unless otherwise indicated below,
10.5.2 If no compaction is called for, the fill may be deposited to the full height in one
operation and levelled. If the fill has to be compacted, it shall be placed in layers not
exceeding 225 mm and levelled uniformly and compacted before the next layer is
deposited.
10.5.3 The CONTRACTOR shall protect the earthfill from being washed away by rain
damaged in any other way. Should any slip occur, CONTRATOR shall remove the
affected material and make good the slip at his cost.
10.5.4 The fill shall be carried out to such dimensions and levels as indicated on the
drawings after the stipulated compaction. The fill will be considered as incomplete if
the desired compaction has not been obtained.
10.5.5 If specifically permitted by the ENGINEER, compaction can be obtained by allowing


Page 56 of 212
Rev:R0
loaded trucks conveying fill or other material to ply over the fill area. Even if such a
method is permitted, it will be for the CONTRACTOR to demonstrate the
desired/specified compaction has been obtained. In order that the fill may be
reasonably uniform throughout, the material should be dumped in place in
approximately uniform layers. Traffic over the fill shall be so routed to compact the
area uniformly throughout.
11.0 LEAD
11.1 Lead for deposition/disposal of excavated material, shall be as specified in the

respective item of work. For the purpose of measurement of lead, the area to be
excavated or filled or area on which excavated material is to be deposited/disposed
off shall be divided into suitable blocks and for each of the blocks, the distance
between centrelines shall be taken as the lead which shall be measured by the
shortest straight line route on the plan and not the actual route taken by the
CONTRACTOR. No extra compensation is admissible on the grounds that the lead
including that for borrowed material had to be transported over marshy or ‘katcha’
land route.
12.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
12.1 All excavations shall be measured nett. Dimensions for purpose of payment shall
be reckoned on the horizontal area of the excavation at the base for foundations,
multiplied by the mean depth from the surface of the ground in accordance with the
drawings. Excavation in side slopes will not be paid for. The CONTRACTOR may
make such allowance in his rates to provide for excavation in side slopes keeping in
mind the nature of the soil and safety or excavation. Reasonable working space,
beyond concrete dimensions, where considered necessary in the opinion of
ENGINEER, will be allowed in excavation and considered for payment.
12.2 Unless otherwise specified, the unit rates quoted for excavation in different types of
material shall also account for a basic lead of 1000 metres for disposal as specified
or directed.
12.3 It shall be clearly understood that the rate quoted for excavation shall include
conveying excavated material as directed to the place of final back fill, etc, as
specified.


Page 57 of 212
Rev:R0
12.4 Rate quoted for excavation shall also provide for dewatering expenses.
12.5 Payment for fills inside trenches, plinth around foundations etc, will be based on the
measurement of plinth/trench/foundation pit dimension, filled. Plinth ground level
shall be surveyed before hand for this purpose.
12.6 Payment for site grading will be based on the surveyed dimensions before filling
commences and surveyed dimension after filling and compaction.

Rev:R0
3.2 Classification of Excavated Material
3.2.1 Classification:
All materials involved in excavation shall be classified by the Engineer in the following
groups:
a) Soil:
This shall comprise topsoil, turf, sand, silt, loam, clay, mud, peat, black cotton soil, soft shale
or loose murrum, a mixture of these and similar material which yields to the ordinary
application of pick, spade and/or shovel, rake or other ordinary digging implement.
Removal of gravel or any other nodular material having diameter in any one direction
not exceeding 75mm occurring in such strata shall be deemed to be covered under this
category.
b) Ordinary Rock (not requiring blasting):
This shall include:
i) Rock types such as laterites, shales and conglomerates, varieties of

limestone and sandstone etc., which may be quarried or split with crow bars, also
including any rock which in dry state may be hard, requiring blasting but which, when
wet, becomes soft and manageable by means other than blasting.
ii) macadam surfaces such as water bound and bitumen/tar bound;

soling of roads, paths, etc. and hard core; compact murrum or stabilised soil requiring
grafting tool or pick or both and shovel, closely applied; gravel and cobble stone having
maximum diameter in any one direction between 75 and 300mm;
iii) lime concrete, stone masonry in lime mortar and brick work in
lime/cement mortar below ground level, reinforced cement concrete which may be
broken up and crow bars or picks and stone masonry in cement mortar below ground
level; and


Page 130 of 212
Rev:R0
iv) boulders which do not require blasting having maximum dimension in

any direction of more than 300mm, found laying loose on the surface or embedded in
river bed, soil, talus, slope wash and terrace material of dissimilar origin.
c) Hard Rock (requiring blasting) :
This shall include:
i) Any rock or cement concrete for the excavation of which the use of
mechanical plant and/or blasting is required.
ii) reinforced cement concrete (reinforcement cut through but not
separated from the concrete) below ground level; and
iii) boulders requiring blasting
d) Hard Rock (blasting prohibited) his shall comprise:
i) Hard rock requiring blasting as described under (c) but where blasting
is prohibited for any reason and excavation has to be carried out by chiselling, wedging
of any other agreed method.
e) Marshy Soil
This shall include soils excavated below the original ground level of marshes and
swamps and soils excavated from other areas requiring continuous pumping or bailing
out of water.
3.2.2 Authority for Classification
The classification of excavation shall be decided by the Engineer and his decision shall
be final and binding on the Contractor. Merely the use of explosives in excavation will


Page 131 of 212
Rev:R0
not be considered as a reason for higher classification unless blasting is clearly

necessary in the opinion of the Engineer.
3.3 Construction Operations
3.3.1 Setting Out:

Rev:R0
3.4 Preservation of Property
The Contractor shall undertake all reasonable precautions for the protection and
preservation of any or all existing roadside trees, drains, sewers or other sub-surface
drains, pipes, conduits and any other structures under or above ground, which may be
affected by construction operations and which in the opinion of the Engineer, shall be
continued in use without any change. Safeguards taken by the Contractor in this
respect, shall be got approved by him from the Engineer. However, if any of these
objects is damaged by reason of the Contractor’s negligence, it shall be replaced or
restored to the original condition at his expense. If the Contractor fails to do so, within
the required time as directed by the Engineer or if, in the opinion of Engineer, the
actions initiated by the Contractor to replace/restore the damaged objects are not
satisfactory, the Engineer shall arrange the replacement/restoration directly through
any other agency at the risk and cost of the Contractor after issuing a prior notice to
the effect.

be prepared to receive the sub-base/base-course in accordance with Clause 310 and
311 of MORTH to receive the sub-base/base course.
3.6 Finishing Operations
Finishing operations shall include the work of properly shaping and dressing all
excavated surfaces.
When completed, no point on the slopes shall vary from the designated slopes by more
than 150mm. measured at right angles to the slope, except where excavation is in rock
(hard or soft) where no point shall vary more than 600mm from the designated slope.
In no case shall any portion of the slope encroach on the roadway.
The finished cut formation shall satisfy the surface tolerances described in Clause 902
of MORTH.
Where directed, the topsoil removed earlier and conserved (301.3.1 and 305.3.3 of
MORTH) shall be spread over cut slopes, berms and other disturbed areas. Slopes
may be roughened and moistened slightly, prior to the application of topsoil, in order to
provide satisfactory bond. The depth of topsoil shall be sufficient to sustain plant
growth, the usual thickness being from 75mm. to 150mm.
3.7 Measurements for Payment
Excavation for roadway shall be measured by taking cross sections at suitable

intervals in the original position before the work starts and after its completion and
computing the volumes in cubic metres by the method of average end areas. Where it
is not feasible to compute volumes by this method because of erratic location of
isolated deposits, the volumes shall be computed by other accepted methods.


Page 138 of 212
Rev:R0
At the option of the Engineer the Contractor shall leave depth indicators during
excavations of such shape and size and in such positions as directed so as to indicate
the original ground level as accurately as possible. The Contractor shall see that these
remain intact till the final measurements are taken.
For rock excavation, the over burden shall be removed first to that necessary cross
sections could be taken for measurement. Where cross sectional measurements could
not be taken due to irregular configuration or where the rock is admixed with other
classes of materials, the volumes shall be computed on the basis of stacks of
excavated rubble after making 40 per cent deductions there from. When volumes are
calculated in this manner for excavated material other than rock, deduction made will
be the extent of 16 per cent of stacked volumes.
Works involved in the preparation of cut formation shall be measured in units indicated
below:
i) Loosening and re-compacting the loosened material at sub-grade … cubic metre
ii) Loosening and Removal of unsuitable material and replacing with a suitable material
and compacting to required density. … cubic metre

content and any other tests for the “quality” of materials, as may be necessary.
4.4.1 Preparation of Sub-grade:


Page 143 of 212
Rev:R0
Immediately prior to the laying of sub-base, the sub-grade already finished to Section
301 or 305 as applicable shall be prepared by removing all vegetation and other
extraneous matter, lightly sprinkled with water if necessary and rolled with two passes
80-100 kN smooth wheeled roller.
4.4.2 Spread and Compacting:
The sub-base material of grading specified in the Contract shall be spread on the
prepared sub-grade with the help of a motor grader of adequate capacity, its blade

and grade during the operation or other means as approved by the Engineer.
When the sub-base material consists of combination of materials mentioned in Clause
401.2.1, mixing shall be done mechanically by the mix-in-place method.
Moisture content of the loose material shall be checked in accordance with IS : 2720
(Part-2) and suitably adjusted by sprinkling additional water from a truck mounted or
trailer mounted water tank and suitable for applying water uniformly and at controlled
quantities to variable widths of surface or other means approved by the Engineer so
that at the time of compaction it is from 1 percent above to 2 percent below the
optimum moisture content corresponding to IS:2720 (Part 8). While adding water, due
allowance shall be made for evaporation losses. After water has been added, the
material shall be processed by mechanical or other approved means if so directed by
the Engineer until the layer is uniformly wet.
Immediately thereafter, rolling shall be started. If the thickness of the compacted layer
does not exceed 100mm, a smooth wheeled roller of 80 to 100 KN weight may be
used. For a compacted single layer up to 225mm. the compaction shall be done with
the help of a vibratory roller of minimum 80 to 100 KN static weight with plain drum or

having a minimum tyre pressure of 0.7 MN/sq.m. or equivalent capacity roller capable
of achieving the required compaction. Rolling shall commence at the lower edge and
proceed towards the upper edge longitudinally for portions having unidirectional cross
fall and super elevation and shall commence at the edges and progress towards the
centre for portions having cross fall on both sides.
Each pass of the roller shall uniformly overlap not less than one third of the track made
in the preceding pass. During rolling, the grade and crossfall (camber) shall be
checked and any high spots or depressions, which become apparent corrected by

The final gradation approved within these limits shall be well graded from coarse to fine
and shall not vary from the low limit on one sieve to the high limit on the adjacent sieve
or vice versa.
5.3 Construction Operation
5.3.1 Preparation of Base:

Clause 404.3.1 of MORTH shall apply.
5.3.2 Provision of Lateral Confinement of aggregates:

While constructing wet mix macadam, arrangement shall be made for the lateral
confinement of wet mix. This shall be done by laying materials in adjoining shoulders


Page 148 of 212
Rev:R0
along with that of wet mix macadam layer and following the sequence of operations
described in Clause 407.4.1 of MORTH.
5.3.3 Preparation of Mix:

Wet mix macadam shall be prepared in an approved mixing plant of suitable capacity
having provision for controlled addition of water and forced/positive mixing
arrangement like pug mill or pan type mixer of concrete batching plant. For small
quantity of wet mix work, the Engineer may permit the mixing to be done in concrete
mixers.
Optimum moisture for mixing shall be determined in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part-8)
after replacing the aggregate fraction retained on 22.4mm sieve with material of
4.75mm to 22.5mm size. While adding water, due allowance should be made for
evaporation losses. However, at the time of compaction, water in the wet mix should
not vary from the optimum value by more than agreed limits. The mixed material
should be uniformly wet and no segregation should be permitted.
5.3.4 Spreading of Mix:

Immediately after mixing, the aggregates shall be spread uniformly and evenly upon
the prepared sub-grade/sub-base/base in required quantities. In no case should these
be dumped in heaps directly on the area where these are to be laid not shall their
hauling over a partly completed stretch be permitted.
The mix may be spread either by a paver finisher or motor grader. For portions where
mechanical means cannot be used, manual means as approved by the Engineer shall
be used. The motor grader shall be capable of spreading the material uniformly all
over the surface. Its blade shall have hydraulic control suitable for initial adjustments
and maintaining the same so as to achieve the specified slope and grade.
The paver finisher shall be self-propelled, having the following features:
i) Loading hoppers and suitable distribution mechanism;
ii) The screed shall have tamping and vibrating arrangement for initial
compaction to the layer as it is spread without rutting or otherwise marring the surface
profile.


Page 149 of 212
Rev:R0
iii) The paver shall be equipped with necessary control mechanism so as to

ensure that the finished surface is free from surface blemishes.
The surface of the aggregate shall be carefully checked with templates and all high or
low spots remedied by removing or adding aggregate as may be required. The layer
may be tested by depth blocks during construction. No segregation of larger and fine
particles should be allowed. The aggregates as spread should be of uniform gradation
with no pockets of fine materials.
5.3.5 Compaction :
After the mix has been laid to the required thickness, grade and cross-fall /camber the
same shall be uniformly compacted, to the full depth with suitable roller. If the
thickness of single compacted layer does not exceed 100 mm. a smooth wheel roller of
80 to 100 kN weight may be used. For compacted single layer upto 200 mm, the
compaction shall be done with the help of vibratory roller of minimum static weight of
80 to 100 kN or equivalent capacity roller. The speed of the roller shall not exceed 5
km./hr.
In portions having unidirectional cross fall/super elevation, rolling shall commence from
the lower edge and progress gradually towards the upper edge. Thereafter, roller
should progress parallel to the centre line of the road, uniformly over-lapping each
preceding track by at least one third width until the entire surface has been rolled.
Alternate trips of the roller shall be terminated in stops at least 1m away from any
preceding stop.
In portions in camber, rolling should begin at the edge with the roller running forward
and backward until the edges have been firmly compacted. The roller shall then
progress gradually towards the centre parallel to the centre line of the road uniformly
overlapping each of the preceding track by at least one-third width until the entire
surface has been rolled.
Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing of the direction of a roller or from
any other cause shall be corrected at once as specified and/or removed and made
good.
Along forms, kerbs, walls or other places not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall
be thoroughly compacted with mechanical tampers or a plate compactor. Skin
patching of an area without scarifying the surface to permit proper bonding of the
added material shall not be permitted.


Page 150 of 212
Rev:R0
Rolling should not be done when the sub-grade is soft or yielding or when it causes a
wave-like motion in the sub-base/base course or sub-grade. If irregularities develop
during rolling which exceed 12mm. when tested with a 3 metre straight edge, the
surface should be loosened and premixed material added or removed as required
before rolling again so as to achieve a uniform surface conforming to the desired grade
and cross fall. In no case should the use of unmixed material be permitted to make up
the depressions.
Rolling should be continued till the density achieved is at least 100 percent of the
maximum dry density for the material as determined by the method outlined in IS: 2720
–Part-VIII.
After completion the surface of any finished layer should be well-closed, free from
movement under compaction equipment or any compaction planes, ridges, cracks and
loose material. All loose, segregated or other wise defective areas should be made
good to the full thickness of the layer and re-compacted.
5.3.6 Setting and Drying :

After final compaction of wet-mix macadam course, the road shall be allowed to dry for
24 hours.
5.4 Opening to Traffic

Preferably no vehicular traffic of any kind should be allowed on the finished wet-mix
macadam surface till it has dried and the wearing course laid.

accordance with Section 900.


Page 151 of 212
Rev:R0
5.6 Rectification of Surface Irregularity

Where the surface irregularity of the wet-mix macadam course exceeds the
permissible tolerances or where the course aggregates, the full thickness of the layer
shall be scarified over the affected area, re-shaped with added pre-mixed material or
removed and replaced with fresh premixed material as applicable and re-compacted in
accordance with Clause 406.3 of MORTH. The area treated in the aforesaid manner
shall not be less than 5m. long and 2m. wide. In no case shall depressions be filled up
with unmixed and un-graded material or fines.

6.0 PREPARATION OF SURFACE
6.1 Scope
This work shall consist of preparing an existing water bound macadam, wet mix
macadam or black-topped surface to specified lines, grades and cross sections in
advance of laying a bituminous course. The work shall be performed on such widths
and lengths as may be directed by the Engineer and may consist of scarifying and
relaying the granular base course by filling of portholes and/or application of a profile
corrective course (levelling course) as necessary.
Materials
6.2.1 For Scarifying and Re-laying the Granular Base Course:


Page 152 of 212
Rev:R0
The materials used shall be coarse aggregates salvaged from scarification of the
existing granular base course supplemented by fresh coarse aggregates and
screenings so that aggregates and screenings thus supplemented correspond to
Clause 404 of MORTH, Water Bound Macadam or Clause 406 of MORTH wet mix
macadam as the case may be.
6.2.2 For Patching Potholes and Sealing Cracks :

For patching potholes approved material having same specification as that of profile
corrective course shall be used. For sealing small cracks finer than 3mm, a fog seal
conforming to Section 3000 shall be applied while larger cracks wider than 3mm. shall
be treated with an emulsion slurry seal, conforming to Clause 516 of MORTH.
6.2.3 For Profile Corrective Course :

A profile corrective course (levelling course) is essentially a pavement base material
course for correcting the existing pavement profile which has either lost its shape or
has to be given a new shape to meet the requirement of specified lines, grades and
cross-sections.
It shall be differentiated from the strengthening course of other type of structural
pavement course needed for upgrading as a remedial measure against inherent
deficient and/or distressed pavement. It is meant to remove the irregularity in the
existing road profile only.
6.2.4 Profile Corrective Course Material and their Application:
The type of material for profile corrective course shall be as shown on the drawing. If it
is to be laid as part of the overlay/strengthening course, the profile corrective course
material shall be of the same specification as that of the overlay/strengthening course.
However, if provided as a separate layer, it may be of the same specification as the
layer over which it is to be laid or intermediate between underlying layers, as shown on
the drawing.
i) Wherever isolated high spots projecting over the pavement surface do

exist, the same shall be cut by milling machine or any other approved method, to
minimise the profile corrective course requirement. If in the process, the bottom layer


Page 153 of 212
Rev:R0
gets disturbed, the local area shall be cut and filled with profile corrective course
material.
ii) Where the maximum profile corrective course thickness works out to be
not more than 40mm, it shall be done as an integral part of the overlay course. In
other cases, the profile corrective course shall be provided, as a separate layer
adopting such construction procedures and using such equipment as may be
appropriate to the specified type of material and thickness of the course to be provided.
6.3.1 Preparing Existing Granular Surface:

Where the existing bituminous surface is granular, all loose and disintegrated materials
shall be removed and the surface lightly watered if the profile corrective course to be
provided as a separate layer is also granular. If, however, over the existing granular
surface, a profile corrective course of bituminous material is to be laid, the existing
granular surface shall be primed as per Clause 502 of MORTH.
6.3.2 Scarifying existing bituminous Surface:
Where necessary, the existing bituminous layer in the specified width shall be removed
with care without causing undue disturbance to the underlying layer by suitable method
approved by the Engineer. After removing it, all loose and disintegrated materials of
underlying layer which might have been disturbed in the process of removal shall,
before laying of the overlay course, be reset properly by spreading/hand
rammers/approved mechanical tamper so that the level of the top surface of such
scarified area shall be even and properly graded with respect to adjoining surface.
Where applicable, the granular surface, after removal of the existing bituminous layer,
shall be primed as per Clause 502 of MORTH to receive a bituminous profile corrective
course. Reusable materials shall be stacked as directed by the Engineer with all leads
and lifts.
6.3.3 Patching of Pot Holes & Sealing of Cracks


Page 154 of 212
Rev:R0
Before providing Profile Corrective Course on the existing pavement, pot holes if any,
shall be drained of water, cut to regular shape with sides vertical up to the affected
depth and slightly beyond the limits of affected area and dried. All loose and
disintegrated materials from it shall be removed. The pot holes shall then be filled with
material as per Clause No. 501.2.2 of MORTH in layers not exceeding 75mm after
painting the sides and bottom with a thin layer of hot straight-run bitumen/emulsion and
each layer shall be compacted with approved mechanical tampers/small vibratory roller
and the top layer shall be flush with the existing bituminous surface. All loose / or
surplus materials on the surface after making good the potholes, shall be removed.
The cracks in the old pavement surface shall be sealed with a fog seal if cracks are
small (less than 3mm. width); fog seal shall consist of a spray of a bituminous cutback
or a slow-setting bitumen emulsion diluted with an equal amount of water, the rate of
spray being 0.5 to 1.0 litre/sq.m depending upon the texture and dryness of the
existing bituminous surface. The spray is allowed to set to a firm condition and traffic
is allowed only thereafter so as to ensure that the material is not picked up by traffic.
For large cracks, the sealing shall be done with emulsion slurry seal as per Clause
516 of these Specifications.
6.3.4 Laying the Profile Corrective Course:
6.3.4.1 After preparing the granular surface as in Clause 501.3.1 of MORTH and 501.3.2 of
MORTH the Profile Corrective Course with material as per Clause 501.2.3 / 501.2.4 of
MORTH shall be laid compacted to the requirement of particular specification clause.
Where a bituminous profile corrective course is to be laid over a primed granular
surface, a tack coat conforming to Clause 503 of MORTH shall be applied prior to
laying profile corrective course.
6.3.4.2 An existing bituminous surface shall be prepared as per Clause 501.3.3 of MORTH
and after applying a tack coat conforming to Clause 503 of MORTH, the bituminous
profile corrective course shall be laid and compacted to the requirement of particular
Specification Clause.
6.3.4.3 In specific situation of short sags or depressions in the pavement, it may become
necessary to provide corrective course in the form of flat wedges. Normally, layers in


Page 155 of 212
Rev:R0
maximum thickness at any point more than 100mm. should not be provided. In placing
multiple lifts, the lift of shortest length (at the lowest portion of the sag/depression)
should be provided first, with successive lifts extending over and fully covering
underneath layer, precluding development of a series of joints on the top surfaces.
For camber correction of correction of super-elevation of the existing carriageway,

method shall be adopted depending on the profile of the existing carriageway.
6.3.5 Covering the Profile Corrective Course :
Work of Profile Corrective Course shall be so planned that it shall be covered by the
designed base/wearing course at the earliest, before opening to regular traffic.
Relevant Provisions of Section 900 shall be exercised by the Engineer.
During the construction operations, arrangement of traffic shall be done to Clause 112
of MORTH.
6.5 Measurement for Payment
6.6.1 The work for filling potholes shall be considered incidental to the construction of Profile
Corrective Course /bituminous course for which the existing pavement surface is
prepared.
The work of filling cracks by applying fog seal or emulsion slurry seal shall be
measured in square metres, and paid separately.

Specifications. Where the surface is high, the full depth of the layer shall be removed
and replaced with fresh material and compacted to Specifications.
For wearing course, where the surface is high or low, the full depth of the layer shall
be removed and replaced with fresh material and compacted to Specifications. In all
cases where the removal and replacement of a bituminous layer is involved, the area
treated shall not be less than 5 meter long and not less than 1 lane wide.

2. Surface evenness requirements in respect of both the longitudinal and cross profiles
should be simultaneously satisfied.
16.3 Tests
16.3.1 General
For ensuring the requisite quality of construction, the materials and works shall be
subjected to quality control tests, as described hereinafter. The testing frequencies
set forth are the desirable minimum and the Engineer shall have the full authority to
increase the frequencies of tests as he may deem necessary to satisfy himself that
the materials and works comply with the appropriate Specifications.
Test procedures for the various quality control tests are indicated in the respective
Sections of these Specifications or for certain tests within this Section. Where no
specific testing procedure is mentioned, the tests shall be carried out as per the
prevalent accepted engineering practice to the approval of the Engineer.
16.3.2 Tests on Earthwork for Embankment and Sub-grade Construction

a) Borrow material

1) Sand content [IS: 2720(Part IV)] 1-2 tests per 8000 cu. meters of soil
2) Plasticity Test [IS: 2720(Part V)]
Each type to be tested, 1-2 tests per 8000 cu. meters of soil.
3) Density Test [[IS: 2720(Part VII)].
Each soil type to be tested, 1-2 tests per 8000 cubic meters of soil.
4) Deleterious Content Test [IS: 2720(PartXXVII)]
As and when required by the Engineer.
5) Moisture Content Test [IS: 2720(Part II)]
One test for every 250 cubic meters of soil.
6) CBR Test on materials to be incorporated in the Sub-grade on soaked/ unsoaked
samples [[IS: 2720(part XVI)]
One test for every 3000 m3 at least or closer as and when required by the Engineer.
Compaction control:
Control shall be exercised by taking at least one measurement of density for each
1000 square meters of compacted area, or closer as required to yield the minimum
number of test results for evaluation a day’s work on statistical basis. The
determination of density shall be in accordance with IS: 2720 (part XXVIII).Tests
locations shall be chosen only through random sampling techniques. Control shall
not be based on the result of any one test but on the mean value of a set of 5-10
density determinations. The number of tests in one test in one set of measurements
shall be 5 as long as it is felt that sufficient control over borrow material and the
method of compaction is being exercised. If considerable variations are observed
between individual density results, the minimum number of tests in one set of
measurement shall be increased to 10. The acceptance of work shall be subject to
the condition that the mean dry density equals or exceeds the specified density and
the standard deviation for any set of results is below 0.08 gm/cc.
However, for earthwork in shoulders (earthen) and in top 500 mm portion of the
embankment below the Sub-grade, at least one density measurement shall be taken
for every 50 square meters of the compacted area provided further `that the number
of tests in each set of measurements shall be at least 10. In other respects, the
control shall be similar to that described earlier.
