CONTRACTOR SDN BHD (G&P)
1.0 SURVEY/SETTING UP SIGNATURE YES NO
The initial survey and setting out of the wall alignment
1.1 survey shall be carried out by a licensed surveyor with
the presence of Engineer’s representative.
The initial survey drawings showing the levels and
1.2 alignment of wall shall be endorsed by licensed surveyor
before submitted for Engineer’s approval.
The wall alignment shall be pegged at every 10m
1.3
intervals at site.
Wherever there are curves or cornering of the wall, the
1.4 wall alignment shall be pegged at every 2m intervals or
closer at site.
EXCAVATION/ REMOVAL OF UNSUITABLE SIGNATURE
2.0 YES NO
MATERIAL
Carry out Mackintosh Probe (MP) at the foundation of the
2.1
wall at every 5m intervals or as directed by the Engineer.
Submit Mackintosh Probe results to the Engineer no
2.2
longer than 24 hours after the MP tests.
Engineer to issue instruction on depth of excavation and
2.3
removal of unsuitable material based on MP results.
Carry out soil replacement with approved material after
2.4
removal of unsuitable material.
Cover base of wall foundation with plastic sheets to avoid
softening if soil replacement is not carried out
immediately after excavation. If the contractor fails to
2.5
provide the plastic sheet at site, the soft material should
be stripped out prior to the placement of suitable material
or quarry dust.
3.0 WALL ERECTION SIGNATURE YES NO
3.1 Brace externally the initial row of panels.
Connect steel reinforcements to panels, backfill and
3.2
compact before next row of panels are erected.
Insert joint fillers into all the joints between the panels
3.3
with the help of a wooden edge.
Place cushion pads at the slots on the top edge of each
3.4
panel before the installation of subsequent rows of panel.
Check alignment and verticality of wall during erection
3.5
using a plumb bob.
Check the reinforcement size and anchor block size (if
3.6
applicable) at site before backfilling works.
4.0 BACKFILL AND COMPACTION SIGNATURE YES NO
Level backfill before placing of and bolting of
4.1
reinforcement strips.
Maximum loose thickness of every fill layer shall not
exceed 375mm before compaction. Trial run should be
4.2
carried out at site to determine the number of passes to
achieve the required degree of compaction.
Keep trucks and heavy vehicles 1.5m away from the
4.3
back of the wall panel.
Use hand-operated compacting machine (plate
4.4 compactor etc.) with weight < 1 ton within 1.5m from the
wall face for compaction.

Carry out field density tests at site as instructed by the


4.5
Engineer.
Collect bulk sample of backfilling material and send for
4.6
direct shear box test.
5.0 TEMPORARY DRAINAGE SIGNATURE YES NO
Provide and maintain the temporary drainage/pipes for
5.1 effective drainage to divert any surface run-off away from
the reinforced soil wall.
Level any surplus backfill behind the reinforced soil wall
5.2 at the end of each day at a gentle gradient so that any
surface runoff could flow into temporary drainage.
6.0 DOCUMENTS FOR SUBMISSION SIGNATURE YES NO
The following documents MUST be submitted to the
Engineer for approval 2 weeks before the
commencement of any works at site:
• Method Statement for reinforced soil wall works.
• Construction drawings (plan and elevation view) of
the reinforced soil wall endorsed by a Professional
Engineer.
• Detailed calculations of reinforced soil wall endorsed
by a Professional Engineer. (including maximum
threshold on total and differential settlement of
reinforced soil wall)
• Certificate of galvanising works for steel
reinforcement from factory. (At least 5% of steel
reinforcements shall be tested according to BS729.
At least 6 points shall be taken at the tested
reinforcement to measure the galvanised coat
thickness. Average coat thickness>86μm.)
• Steel reinforcement mill certificate from factory
indicating the ultimate tensile stress of the
reinforcement.
• Mix proportion, minimum cement content, water-
cement ratio of concrete for pre-cast wall facing
6.1 panels, anchor blocks, etc.
• Concrete cube test results for the pre-cast wall
facing panels.
• Sample of geotextile, slotted PVC pipe (300mm
length) for subsoil pipe/drain.
• Source and type of material used for soil
replacement at the wall base and backfilling behind
the wall.
• Particle size distribution curve for material used for
soil replacement and backfilling.
• Shear box tests results (at least 3 sets of results) for
the backfilling material.
• Chemical test results showing the pH value, sulphate
and chloride content of the backfilling material.
• Setup details for pull out test.
• Specifications and calibration certificates for
hydraulic jacks, pressure gauge, load cell, dial
gauges and strain gauges for pull out test.
• Machineries records (empty forms to be provided by
G&P).
