C.3.2 EARTHWORK, EXCAVATION AND BACKFILLING

The work described in this chapter includes excavation and backfilling, as well as carrying, piling up and removing excavation material necessary for the construction of the building, channels, piping, and all elements indicated in the project drawings.

C.3.2.1 LEVELING AND CLEARING OF LAND

This section refers to land modifications required for the execution of building construction in accordance with the project drawings.

To determine final levels, theodolites or precision instruments will be used. If there are considerable differences with the specifications in the drawings, the COR shall be notified and only through a report of mutual agreement will the new levels be determined.

The residual material must be removed and placed outside the construction site in places approved by the local authority.

C.3.2.2 SLOPE CONFIGURATION

Not applicable for this project.

C.3.2.3 EXCAVATION

Generally, excavation is understood as the removal of volumes of land or other materials for the purpose of forming spaces for construction, foundations, structures, buildings, roads, etc.

Excavation shall be done according to the heights, limits, elevations, gradients and sections set forth in the structural, architectural, and sanitary drawings, save for different or real conditions of the project.

During excavation, material satisfactory for backfilling shall be stockpiled in an orderly manner at a distance from banks of the trench equal to ½ the depth of the excavation, but in no instance closer than 60 cm. Excavated material not required or not satisfactory for backfill shall be removed from the site, without affecting the adjacent properties.

The material produced from excavation will be temporarily disposed of on the sides of excavations, so that it will not impede the execution of other work.

The final excavation to be performed in the places where specific concrete, exterior works are to be built shall be carried out as close to the pouring of concrete to avoid any alterations due to bad weather.

In no case shall excavation be performed to a depth so that the base soil is loosened or removed. If this happens, it will be considered as an “over excavation” that should be corrected by the contractor according to the project specifications.

If, in the Contractor’s or COR’s opinion, the bottom of the ditch is not strong or is unstable, over-excavation will be carried out until solid ground is reached, otherwise another solution shall be jointly agreed upon by the Contractor and the COR.

It is the Contractor’s duty to protect the stability of the adjacent properties while excavation is carried out. This should be done in such a way as to guarantee the stability of those buildings without causing any damage.

Excavation shall be protected against rain, landslides and other excavation. The Contractor shall protect the personnel executing the excavation in ditches and, if for safety reasons it is deemed necessary, the contractor shall provide timbering and shoring.

This shoring shall be reviewed and approved by the COR, and the Contractor will protect the shoring and will be removed after the excavation has been performed.

SAQMMA-17-R-0011 Page 18 of 121

The standards for the provisional shoring in excavations are the following:

When assemblages and props are used, these are placed at intervals no greater than 2.50 meters, measuring the timber lengthwise, and should penetrate the land enough to withstand the push of the walls in the excavation.

Metallic cribbing shall be used for excavations greater than 5.00 meters deep or when the lateral push on the excavation walls is great.

Whenever the conditions of the land demand so or when the structural drawings states, the excavation walls will be protected with stakes or projected concrete. This will be subsequently refilled according to the requirements established for the filling process.

For piping placement in excavation, the filling will be laid as a first step to cover a height of at least 20 centimeters above the highest part of piping and shall be compressed in accordance with the article of this section. Excavation will be done from the ditch in accordance with the gradient slope and required transversal lines for placement of piping as indicated on working drawings.

C.3.2.4 OVER EXCAVATION

The term over-excavation, for the purposes of the job to be carried out, is understood as excavation outside the lines and levels set forth in the drawings, the specifications and/or the COR’s instructions.

If over-excavation is done, removal should go up to the required level and filling with soil, granular material or concrete or any other material approved by the COR; compressing will be done with adequate water content, in layers that will not exceed a thickness of 15 cm, using an appropriate mechanical compressor. The compression process shall be done according to the regulations established by the standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO T-130).The material to be used shall be granular selected material according AASHTO 145.

The Contractor agrees not to receive any additional payment for over-excavation that may result from the conditions of the land, the action of natural agents, operations that are executed to facilitate the construction, and mistakes made by the Contractor.

C.3.2.5 EXCAVATION IN CONGLOMERATE STRATUMS AND ROCK

The process of excavation when hard materials are found which cannot be loosened through ordinary methods is understood as conglomerate and rock excavation where the use of shovels, pickaxes, backhoes, or excavators is not sufficient and explosives, mechanical hammers, wedges, or sledge hammers or other similar are absolutely necessary.

If a rock is found in pieces, only fragments greater than 200 cubic decimeters will be considered a rock.

When removing rock or masonry fragments from a ditch is necessary, and if they form clusters that do not have to be totally extracted in order to erect structures, those pieces excavated within the presumed boundaries will be considered as rock, although their volume could be smaller than the one indicated in the above paragraph.

If the bottom of the trench (made to install pipes lines) is made up of conglomerate or rock, excavation will be carried out up to 0.15 m below the seat of the pipe and it will be filled later with sand and fine gravel.

When excavation is carried out on fixed rocks, the use of explosives will be allowed, provided that they do not alter the land adjacent to the excavation works and with a prior written authorization from the COR.

C.3.2.6 EXCAVATION WITH WATER PRESENCE

The excavation with presence of water may be caused by water coming from the underground, rainwater, floods, operation of the construction, sewage and others.

SAQMMA-17-R-0011 Page 19 of 121

Excavation cannot be executed in the presence of water, whatever its origin, and therefore due precautions and protections must be taken, as construction techniques advise in these cases. Excavating during the rainy season shall be prohibited.

When placing stone masonries, concrete structures, or any structure, the Contractor will insure that water is not present in excavations, and that it will remain so until mortar and concrete have set.

The presence of water makes work more difficult and the safety of the people and the projects themselves decreases. Therefore, the Contractor is required to take due precautions to eliminate water in excavation sites by using stake boards, cofferdams, pumping, drainage, curbs, etc.

Excavation is forbidden during the rainy season. None of the excavations should have water present before placing the pipes, and under no circumstance will they be placed under water. The trenches shall remain dry until the pipes have been totally coupled and the welded junctions are completely dry.

C.3.2.7 EXCAVATION FOR FOUNDATIONS

This section refers to the depth of the excavation needed for foundations that will be lower than that marked for cleaning and leveling, down to the depth established by the structural drawings or by recommendation of COR.

Excavation will be done in a fashion to satisfactorily build the structures. The excavation sides will be totally vertical and the bottom will be clean, free of waste, and correctly leveled.

In no case will machine excavation be performed to a depth so that the soil of the bottom is loosened or removed. The final material to be excavated must be removed by pickax and shovel to a depth of 50 centimeters, also known as “conforming the plinth or ditch bottom”.

If landslides or collapses due to the depth of excavations or inconsistency of soil happen, shoring shall be built to prevent further damages or accidents.

Ditches shall remain clean and no work will be executed in them if waste, loose dirt, water, etc. are found.

After casting the foundation and pouring the foundation, the gap caused by excavation shall be filled and compressed with the extracted soil until reaching the initial level. This work shall meet the specifications detailed for “compacted backfilling with natural soil”. Leftover material shall be removed or placed as filling if acceptable by COR.

The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent water from entering excavation sites awaiting concrete pours. However, if soil deterioration is caused by unforeseen circumstances, the Contractor will perform necessary studies and analyses of the soil to deepen excavation.

C.3.2.8 REMOVAL OF WASTE AND/OR EXCAVATED MATERIAL

Waste removal is defined as the method of transportation of the materials produced by excavation, which should have a specifically determined place for disposal approved by the local authority.

When there is an excess material, the Contractor shall remove it and place it outside the area of construction where such material will not obstruct watercourses or cause detriment to the neighboring areas.

Excess or waste material should not be located in properties adjacent to the construction site unless the Contractor receives written authorization from the owners of such properties.

The material produced by excavation that will not be used for the construction of the project shall be removed from the site using heavy mechanical equipment in good condition, without causing vehicle transit interruption or neighbors’ annoyance.

C.3.2. 9 BACKFILLING

Backfilling is defined at the sections indicated by the project, the existing gaps between structures and excavations, or between the structures and the natural soil in such a way that any point of the finished section will remain at a distance greater than 10 centimeters from the corresponding section of the project.

SAQMMA-17-R-0011 Page 20 of 121

The backfilling process will be carried out using earth, gravel, sand or rock with approval from the COR.

Prior to backfilling, the land shall be free of debris, trunks, branches, etc., and in general of all organic material and all the material that is not appropriate for backfilling. The COR will approve the material that will be used for backfilling in advance and the material will come from the excavation itself or other extraction sites.

The backfilling will be done according to the project specifications and according to the lines, levels and gradients described in the architectonic and structural drawings.

The Contractor is required to obtain, transport and maintain the necessary material for backfilling, either from the excavation site or from qualified quarries.

Special care will be given by not using the mechanical compactor in areas close to buildings or existing construction inside or outside of the property. If any damage occurs, this shall be repaired and costs assumed by the Contractor.

The refill and/or cover of any excavation that contains lines or pipes installations and other services will not proceed until they have been placed and tested as well as approved and accepted by the COR.

The backfilling for subflooring will be placed and mechanically compacted in beds of 0.20m thick according to the D698-64Tspecifications of the American Society for testing and Materials (ASTM).

Backfilling with gravel, sand or ground stone for formation of drains or filters shall be consistent with the grain grading specified in the working drawings; materials will be sieved and washed if required. For filter formation, the materials will be placed in such a way that the higher grade particles remain in contact with the structure and the ones with lesser diameters in contact with the natural terrain, unless otherwise indicated.

The backfilling of rock placement shall be made with fragments of healthy, dense, and exposure-resistant rocks, with angle formation satisfactory to COR. The minimal size of the stones shall be 20 centimeters, and the maximum determined by the project, always protecting the structure.

C.3.2.9.1 COMPACTED BACKFILLING WITH NATURAL SOIL

Compacted backfilling with natural soil is defined as placing horizontal layers of the existing soil, with a thickness of 20 cm, with the humidity that the material requires to get a mechanical compression to 95% minimum of the density of the Proctor Standard measure. Each layer shall be evenly compacted on the entire surface by pneumatic rammers or other construction equipment until obtaining the maximum compression possible with the use of these tools. The material to be used in this backfilling shall be free of organic residues and waste. Prior to backfilling, the land shall be free of debris. The COR will approve in advance the material that will be used in the backfilling process. The compression process shall be done according to the standards of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO T-130).

If the approved material for this backfilling is not enough to reach the levels specified in the project design, the Contractor shall complete the volume needed, with granular material according to the specification for “Compacted backfilling with granular material.”

The Contractor shall carry out laboratory tests to guarantee the compliance with the aforementioned specifications and the cost of these tests will be assumed by the Contractor.

C.3.2.9.2 COMPACTED BACKFILLING WITH GRANULAR MATERIAL

Compacted backfilling with granular material is defined as placing horizontal layers of sub-base to a thickness of 20 cm. Each layer will be compacted evenly on its entire surface by pneumatic rammers or heavy construction equipment until obtaining the maximum compression possible with the use of these tools.

Compaction shall be carried out using sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic-tried rollers,…
