Excavated Materials Clause Samples

Excavated Materials. 5.3.1 All the materials available from excavation will be property of Govt. and shall be disposed off as directed by the Engineer-in- charge. The materials of approved quality shall be used by the contractors in the items of work included in the schedule of prices for ancillary or preparatory work at the rate of prevailing royalty charges. Prior approval of the Engineer-in-charge for such use shall however be taken. The contractor shall make proper arrangements for sorting out and stacking material of approved quality that he proposes to use aforesaid. Government will be free to make use of other materials not likely to be required for use by the contractor as will be determined by the Engineer-in-charge. The excavated materials not to be used by the contractor as above or stacked for his use but remaining unused at site after completion of works shall be disposed off by the contractor at his cost in a manner and places as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. However no claim on account of extra lead & lift will be enterained by the department for disposal of exvated material. The separable spoils available from adjacent reaches /▇.▇.▇▇▇▇ works, etc. other than those in the tender under consideration shall be permitted to be used by the contractor free of cost provided these materials are used solely for the specific contract work in question, with the prior approval of the Engineer- in-charge. However no claim on account of non-availability of the separable spoils will be entertained by the department. 5.3.2 The contractor shall use the extracted materials like rubble stone and quarry spauls, as the Executive Engineer, may direct and approve after removal, direct from excavation or from dumps as the Executive Engineer, may stipulate, The selection, sorting and stacking shall be done according to the direction of the Executive Engineer at free of cost by the contractor. 5.3.3 The contractor shall supply free of cost the necessary quantities of sand, stone and aggregate etc. to the government for carrying out tests as required by the Engineer-in-charge. This shall be done well in advance of the construction operation so as to get approved the quality of the materials. The cost of opening quarries and operating them shall be borne by the Contractor.

Excavated Materials. While doing excavation if the Contractor finds any residuous material like trees, timber etc in the ground then these shall be removed and back filled with approved fill to required level.

However no claim on account of non-availability of the separable spoils will be entertained by the department.

Excavated Materials. 1. Excavated materials shall be placed adjacent to the work to be used for backfilling as required. Top soil shall be carefully separated and lastly placed in its original location. 2. Excavated material shall be placed sufficiently back from the edge of the excavation to prevent caving of the trench wall, to permit safe access along the trench and not cause any drainage problems. 3. Excavated material shall be placed so as not to damage existing landscape features or man-made improvements and also allow access to valves and hydrants.

Excavated Materials. 8.5.1.1 Environmental impacts that may be generated during handling, storage and disposal of the excavated materials will need to be controlled. The principal adverse effects relate to dust, visual impacts, water quality and general health and safety. 8.5.1.2 The majority of the material to be excavated should be clean and acceptable for reuse either on site as filling materials or for transportation to public filling areas / reclamation sites. 8.5.1.3 Excavated materials should be reused or transported off site as soon as it is generated in order to minimise the potential for adverse environmental impacts. It is recognised that stockpiling of material will be required in some instances. Any stockpiles should be clearly segregated in terms of material type as far as practical. This will aid in the potential for re-use of material (e.g. top soil for landscaping, suitable fill material for engineering works) and in final disposal, if necessary. Within the stockpile area, measures should be in place to control the generation of dust and contaminated surface water run-off (i.e. high suspended solids). 8.5.1.4 All excavated material will need to be handled in a manner that minimises the release of fugitive dust to nearby residences, especially during hot and dry weather. This will require the use of dust suppression measures such as dampening with the fine water spray and covering with tarpaulin. Where possible the movement of material should also be kept to a minimum. Air quality impacts are discussed within Chapter 4 of this report. 8.5.1.5 The use of water sprays should be controlled to prevent the generation of site runoff contaminated with elevated levels of suspended solids. The surface water system for the stockpile area should be segregated and fitted with silt traps where necessary. During heavy rainfall material should also be covered. Stockpiles can also be visually intrusive. Such impacts can be mitigated through locating the stockpile appropriately to minimise visual impacts. 8.5.1.6 The following measures should be incorporated into the Environmental Pollution and Control Requirements for the contractors' specification for stockpile management: • locate stockpiles to minimise visual impacts and nuisance related to noise and air quality (dust); • minimise land-take by minimising the size of the stockpiles and associated working areas; • provide fencing to separate sensitive habits and landscape areas to prevent stockpiling at inappropriate location...
