 Road will be cut in two sections to provide continuity of traffic flow,

construction will be done in two sections, section 2 shall not start until
section 1 is complete, duly backfilled and road reinstated for traffic.
 Install safety barricades and traffic rerouting plan prior to cutting of the
roads. Blinking lights shall be provided in the area for night traffic.
 Cut asphalt by means of asphalt cutter and all cut asphalt shall be
disposed in the designated area approved by FAL/United.
 Excavate up to water table if bottom elevation of the duct is below water
table. Duct banks with bottom elevation above water table will be
excavated up to bottom elevation.
 Dewatering plan shall be submitted later, A pilot hole shall be excavated
in ground to find depth of water and decide on dewatering scheme.
 Set up dewatering equipment at locations where dewatering is required.
 Continue excavation of trench with bottom elevation below water table.
Excavation will be carried out using mechanical equipment.
 Compact bottom of trench after completion of excavation.
 Install 50 mm mudmat and polyethelene sheet liner on top of the
mudmat.
 Install reinforcement for duct banks inclusive of 2” and 6” schedule 40
PVC conduits as detailed in the construction drawings and other
embedded items as required.
 Fabricate and install formworks using approved formwork materials by

skilled craftsmen.
 Request Quality Control Inspection and pour release.

 Pour ready mixed concrete as per project specifications and approved
design mix from client. Pouring shall be done in the presence of QC
personnel from SBG and FAL/United.
 Curing of duct bank shall be carried out after pouring by use of potable

 Backfill duct bank using approved fill materials and observe the minimum
fill requirement of 610 mm from top of the road to the top of the duct bank
as shown on IFC drawings. Backfilling and compaction shall be carried
out by allowable layers including the required necessary testing.
 Restore the cut section of the road to its original condition and install
cable marker.
 Remove safety barricades and re-open road for traffic.
 After backfilling and compaction of the first section, start construction of
the second section same procedure as detailed in the first section.
Note: Although it was proposed to construct the duct banks under the road in two
sections, if allowed by FAL/United it would be better to do it in one pour to minimize
construction time.
6.0 EQUIPMENT
6.1 The following equipment shall be utilized during the installation of the
duct banks.
 Surveying instruments
 Asphalt Cutter
 Excavator
 Dump Truck
 Fuel Truck
 Plate Compactor
