BACK FILING AT STATION
PROJECT: NTPC JHANORE GAS PIPELINE PROJECT

PURPOSE
The purpose of this is to prepare guidelines / Methodology of Backfilling in
order to archive result as per tender specification.
2.

REFRENCE
GSPL specification Doc No:

3.

SCOPE
This procedure covers backfilling of pits and trenches for the foundation of
structures and the compaction of the backfill material.

4.

EQUIPMENTS
Compactor, Rammer, 10 ton vibration type roller, Moisture Meter, Oven,
Electric weight & Testing equipments (Proctor apparatus)

5.

MATERIAL
Accepted Material excavated from within the site area of from approved
borrow areas 20 mm to 40 mm crushed lock shall be graded with sufficient
fine material to ensure proper Binding of compaction.

6.

METHOD

6.1.1 Before starting the backfilling work, entire topsoil will be removed and
stockpiled in areas shown on the owners representatives drawings and
all others trees, bushes and other vegetations will also be removed.
6.1.2 Area will be stopped for a depth of 200mm and will be compacted to 95%
of the maximum density at OMC.
6.1.3 Accepted fill material will be carted through dumper, tractor trailer and
will be spread in uniform layers of 250mm with the help of suitable dozers.
6.1.4 Next backfill layers will be placed within 24 hours of moisture treatment
and compacted. Lab result of OMC & MDD shall be provided before
compaction. According to OMC, calculated quantity of water shall be
added & then required compaction shall be done.
6.1.5 For large areas of filling, approximately 18 Mtrs. Long and 4,.5 Mtrs. Wide
strips will be prepared for test purpose. Then this strip will be tested for
compaction either in lab or at site. After this test large areas will be
backfilled.

6.1.6 Loose layer thickness will be 250 mm thick before compaction.

6.1.7 Backfilling of foundation pits and trenches will be carried out after
adequate strength has reached for foundations and structural work.
6.1.8 After spreading of backfill material, it will be watered and compacted in
layer not exceeding 150mm in depth, when compacted to achieve 95% of
the maximum dry density & moisture content within 2 % of OMC.
6.1.9 For compaction plate compactors and any other suitable compactors will
be used for achieving desired compaction.
6.1.10 Timber sheeting and other excavation supports will be removed as the
process of backfilling proceeds.
6.1.11 To prevent ponding of water, a system of temporary drainage will be
provided.
7.

TOLERANCE
As per Specification

8.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

1. PPE is a must in this activity
2. The Pits and trenches should be properly barricaded.
