1.0 SCOPE
This method statement specifically describes the procedure involved

in construction of ground improvement work at the approach of
Vehicular Box Culvert near Kg. Titi Besi to ensure that the works is
completed in accordance with the specification and applicable
Standard Codes of Practice and that the activities are documented.
The scope of work shall include :
a) Joint inspection with SE on the proposed removal and

replacement area.
b) Carry out of relevant pre-treatment and post treatment tests

specified in the Drawings.
c) Carry out of removal of unsuitable material and replacement

with approved suitable fill material at location specified in the
Drawings.
d) Installation of all necessary geotechnical instrumentation for

monitoring purposes as specified in the Drawings.
e) Obtaining the relevant approval from local authorities, if

required.
f) Installation of all necessary local traffic management, if

required.
2.0 MATERIALS
Materials to be used will be :
2.1 Suitable Fill Material
Suitable material shall comprise all materials that meet the specific
requirements, physically and chemically, for incorporation in the
works as indicated in the contract. The material shall be capable
for being compacted to a degree specified in the drawings and
relevant Specification, regardless of whether it is obtained from
within or outside the Site. Materials that are soft or unsuitable
merely because they are too wet or too dry for effective compaction
are not to be classified as unsuitable, unless otherwise classified by
the S.E.
Suitable materials are defined as follows:

Page No. : 4 of 7
Issued : Nov 2002
‘Cohesive soil’ includes clay with up to 20% of gravel or rock having

moisture content 3% of Optimum Moisture Content (OMC)
determined in accordance with BS 1377 : Part 4 : 1990 clause 3.5.
‘Well graded granular and dry cohesive soils’ including clay
containing more than 20% of gravel or rock and/or having moisture
content 3% of OMC determined in accordance with BS 1377 : Part
4 : 1990 clause 3.5, well graded sands and gravel with a uniformity
coefficient exceeding 10.
‘Uniformly graded material’ includes sands and gravel with a
uniformity coefficient of 10 or less and all silts. Any soil containing
80% or more of material in the particle size range 0.06 to 0.002
mm will be regarded as silt for this purpose.
2.2 Geotextile filter fabric.
3.0 EQUIPMENT & RESOURCES
3.1 Machinery/Equipment
The basic equipment to be used is as follows:
a) Back pusher
b) 10 wheel lorry
c) Hydraulic excavator
d) Roller compactor
e) 1 ton plate compactor
3.2 Manpower
Manpower involved :
a) Supervisor
b) Back pusher operator
c) Excavator operator
d) Compactor operator
e) Lorry driver
4.0 CONSTRUCTION METHOD
4.1 The location and depth for removal of unsuitable materials shall be
determined by reviewing the soil investigation reports or by
carrying out Mackintosh Probe tests. Details shall be recorded in the
form DRB-F-E011 and the works will proceed with the instructions
of SE.

Issued : Nov 2002
4.2 Trial pits up to a depth not less than 1 m below the estimated depth
of removal of unsuitable material, Mackintosh probings or other test
as directed by S.E shall be carried out at 30 m interval to decide
the actual depth of removal as well as the depth of ground water
table.
4.3 The depth of ground water table shall be measured by pumping out
water from the pit up to the bottom level of pit and allowing the
water level to stabilize for 24 hours.
4.4 A joint survey will be carried out with SE to inspect and set out the
location in accordance with Ground Improvement Work
(Removal/Replacement of Unsuitable Material) drawings.
4.5 The unsuitable material shall be excavated and removed. The depth
and extent should be given by SE based from Mackintosh Probe
Report. Cross sections showing the extend and depth of removal of
unsuitable material will be submitted later.
4.6 Level of excavation shall be constantly monitored using dumpy

level.
4.7 Geotextile filter fabric will be placed above base of excavation when
directed by SE.
4.8 The area will be filled with suitable fill or granular material
complying with table 2.1 of Technical Specification up to existing
ground level based on Ground Improvement Work
(Removal/Replacement of Unsuitable Material) drawings or as
instructed by SE.
4.9 If ground water table is encountered, granular material complying

with table 2.1 of Technical Specification shall be used as
replacement material from the base of excavation up to a height of
300mm above ground water table.
4.10 All necessary geotechnical instruments for settlement monitoring

records will be installed according to Geotechnical Instrumentation
drawings. Actual locations and depths of instrumentation will be
decided by S.E at site.
