Embankment Construction Sample Clauses
The embankment construction clause defines the requirements and standards for building embankments as part of a construction project. It typically outlines the materials to be used, compaction methods, slope gradients, and quality control measures that must be followed during construction. For example, it may specify the type of soil, acceptable moisture content, and testing procedures to ensure stability. The core function of this clause is to ensure that embankments are constructed safely and to specification, thereby minimizing risks of structural failure and ensuring long-term durability.

Embankment Construction. Incorporate only suitable roadway excavation material into the embankment. When the supply of suitable roadway excavation is exhausted, furnish unclassified borrow to complete the embankment. Obtain written approval before beginning construction of embankments over 6 feet high at subgrade centerline. Construct embankments as follows:
Embankment Construction. Embankment construction consists of placing and compacting roadway or borrow excavation. This work includes:
(1) Preparing foundation for embankment;
(2) Constructing roadway embankments;
(3) Benching for side-hill embankments;
(4) Constructing dikes, ramps, mounds, and berms; and
(5) Backfilling subexcavated areas, holes, pits, and other depressions.
Embankment Construction. Measure embankment construction in its final position. Do not make deductions from the embankment construction quantity for the volume of minor structures.
(1) Include the following volumes in embankment construction:
(a) Roadway embankments;
(b) Material used to backfill subexcavated areas, holes, pits, and other depressions;
(c) Material used to restore obliterated roadbeds to original contours; and
(d) Material used for dikes, ramps, mounds, and berms.
Embankment Construction. Lay soils in 300mm layers, water the layers to suitable moisure content and compact not less than 10 Bulldozer/roller runs to achieve required compaction level, raise the embackment fill to a height of 5.5m, crest width of 4m, 128 m long and of base width 31.5m, construct the embackment with slope of 1:2.5 both upstream and downstream as detailed in the provided drawings . m³ 1 TOTAL ELEMENT 03 -

(b) Material used to backfill subexcavated areas, holes, pits, and other depressions;
(c) Material used to restore obliterated roadbeds to original contours; and
(d) Material used for dikes, ramps, mounds, and berms.
(2) Do not include the following in embankment construction:
(a) Preparing foundations for embankment construction;
(b) Adjustments for subsidence or settlement of the embankment or of the foundation on which the embankment is placed; and
(c) Material used to round fill slopes.
(d) Rounding cut slopes. Measure rounding cut slopes horizontally along the centerline of the roadway if a pay item for slope rounding is included in the bid schedule. If a pay item for slope rounding is not included in the bid schedule slope rounding will be considered subsidiary to excavation.
