Spreading and Compacting Sample Clauses
The Spreading and Compacting clause defines the requirements and standards for distributing and compressing materials, such as soil, gravel, or asphalt, during construction projects. It typically outlines the methods to be used for spreading materials evenly and the equipment or procedures necessary to achieve proper compaction to specified densities. This clause ensures that the constructed layers are stable, durable, and meet engineering specifications, thereby preventing future settlement or structural issues.
Spreading and Compacting. The earth filling in the embankment shall be moistened and theaterial (Gravel) shall be spread upon it uniformly to the specified depth and in specified layers by an approved method, but no material shall be dumped in piles on the embakment and spread therefrom. The material shall be dragged with a long base drag or other levelling device so as to secure uniform distribution an eliminate all un eveness. The grade shall be checked by means of a set of three boning rods, the crown shall be checked with a set of three camber boards and fish-line following the method explanined in Clause 10-191-5(c).

The material shall ▇▇▇▇▇ be uniformly moistened in quantities just sufficient in secure to specified compaction and rolled to such compaction with an approved roller. Rolling shall commence at the edge of each course and progress towards the centre. Under no circumstances shall the centre of any course be rolled first. During compaction care shall be taken to maintain a smooth and uniform surface and Icrown as shown on the plans, and the finished surface shall conform to the line grade and cross-section shown on the plans or directed by the Superintending Engineer. During rolling the surface shall be . frequently checked and all irregularities shall be corrected by loosening the material and removing on adding material and re-establishing a smooth uniform firm surface. Work on each course shall be performed in a similar manner as mentioned above. No additional . layer shall be placed upon a course until it has been thoroughly compacted and sufficiently dried.
Spreading and Compacting. Add the following at end of the clause: The spreading of sub-base materials by manual means and sprinkling of water by manual means shall also be allowed as approved by the Engineers. The coarse aggregates shall conform to grading no. 2 of Table 400-7 for lower layer of 75mm thickness and grading no.3 for top layer of 75mm thickness.
