    PIPE CULVERT CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURE

    Construction works for pipe culverts Installation shall be carried out upon completion of the
    following activities.
    a) Top soil stripping
    b) Clearing and grubbing
    c) Setting out
    d) Completion of Cut and Fill sections (Profile).
    e) Relocation of existing natural drainage
    f) Detours (as may be necessary)
    g) Protection of existing structures and utilities

    Making temporary traffic diversion at pipe culvert location at allow work be done full width.

    Excavation pipe culvert location


    This shall be carried out to the required widths and depths to the invert using appropriate tools
    and equipment for excavation in both soft and hard materials. Adequate knowledge of the
    subsurface conditions shall be put into consideration for any type of excavation.

    Spoil Placement
    Where excavated material does not comply with the requirements for backfilling material as
    specified hereinafter or is surplus to backfilling requirements, such excavated material shall be
    removed from the site and used for rehabilitation of borrow pits or at other places as directed by
    the Engineer
    Material suitable for use in the works, however, shall be used as prescribed by the Engineer.

    Dewatering
    Where surface water or groundwater conditions exist, the site and trench shall be dewatered
    using appropriate tools and equipment.

    Placing and filling the foundation


    The bottom of excavation shall be filled with 300mm gravel and compacted to the required
    specifications.

    Casting concrete bedding


    The foundation shall be replacement with selected materials, such as concrete, sand, gravel,
    crushed rock, slag, or suitable earth backfill or as may be recommended by the Engineer prior to
    pipe culvert installation.

    Pipe culvert placement and Jointing


    Unless otherwise instructed by the Engineer, the laying of culvert sections on the prepared
    bedding shall be started at the outlet and with tongue end pointing downstream and shall
    proceed toward the inlet end with the abutting sections properly matched, true to the established
    gradient. Pipe joints shall be sealed to prevent infiltration of soil fines or water.

    Casting concrete surrounding

    Excavation for Toe beam, Apron, head wall and wing walls
    This shall also be carried out to the required widths and depths using appropriate tools and
    equipment for excavation in both soft and hard materials. Adequate knowledge of the subsurface
    conditions shall also be put into consideration.

    Placing and filling the foundation


    The bottom of excavation shall also be filled with 300mm gravel and compacted to the required
    specifications.

    Casting concrete blinding for the apron

    Assembling and placement of reinforcement for the toe beam, apron, head walls and wing walls.

    Supporting the formwork and strengthening

    Casting concrete for the toe beam, apron, head walls and wing walls.

    Maintenance and curing of concrete with water shall be done to an appropriate period of time.

    Backfilling
    After the solidarity period as per the specifications, backfill shall be done. The backfilling material
    shall be approved excavated material or imported selected material in accordance to the required
    technical specifications.
    The material shall be watered and compacted to provide a firm earth cushion or handled
    accordingly as may be instructed by the Engineer.

    Then shall remove the temporary diversion and open the water channel and outfall channel to let
    the flood water and finish the whole structure.

    Opening to Traffic
    As may be determined by the Engineer, the completed section shall be opened to public traffic.
