1. Backfilling is well compacted
and imprevious to water (Dry
density test may be taken, if the
specified press thumb it should
not depress surface)
2. Top level of soiling
3. Rubble stone-these should be
squarish and be between 173 to
225 mm.
4. Availability of heavy compactor
if required. (All rubble to be
pitched vertically with large size
of stone base.)
5. Anti-termite treatment, if
required/ specified.
6. The 6" soling should not be more
than 20% by volume.
7. A proper gap should be kept
between soling stone.
8. Select the backfilling material
from the excavated stub.
9. Check whether water facility is
available.
 10. Each layer is wetted and
compaction with heavy rammers.

11. The process of filling and

watering and compaction shall
be carried out til the required
level.
12. If the depth of filling and
watering compaction shall be
carried out till the required level.
13. No use of black cotton soil is
allowed.
14. The gap between adjacent stone
shall be wedged with small
stone. They are well driven with
dhumos.

Excavation and Backfilling of Soil

Following are the sequence of works for excavation and backfilling of soil:

Materials and Tools Used for Excavation

The following are the equipments used for the earthwork for foundation:

o Hydraulic excavator
o Tractor / trucks
o Spade
o Kassi
o Pickaxe
o Crowbar
o Rammer
o Wedge
o Boning Rod
o Sledge Hammer
o Basket
o Iron Pan
o Line and Pins
o hydraulic compactor

Drawings required for excavation

1. Centerline Drawing
2. Layout Plan

Scope of Work for Excavation and Backfilling of Soil

o Setting out of corner benchmarks.
o Survey for ground levels.
o Survey for top levels
o Excavation to approved depth.
o Dressing of loose soil.
o Making up to cut off level
o Constructing dewatering wells and interconnecting trenches.
o Marking boundaries of the building.
o Constructing protection bunds and drains

Working Procedure for Soil Excavation

The extent of soil and rock strata is found by making trial pits in the
construction site. The excavation and depth is decided according to the
following guidelines in the site.
o For Isolated footing the depth to be one and half times the width of
the foundation.
o For adjacent footings with clear spacing less than twice the width (i.e.)
one and half times the length.
o 1.5m in general and 3.5 m in black cotton soils.

Setting out or ground tracing is the process of laying down the excavation
lines and center lines etc. on the ground before the excavation is started.

The centerline of the longest outer wall of the building is marked on the
ground by stretching a string between wooden or mild steel pegs.

Each peg may be projected about 25 to 50 mm from the ground level and
2m from the edge of the excavation. The boundary is marked with the lime
powder.

The center lines of other walls are marked perpendicular to the longer walls.
A right angle can be formed by forming 3, 4 and 5 triangles. Similarly, outer
lines of the foundation trench of each cross walls and are set out.

Backfilling and Removal of Excess Soil

 Estimate the excavated stuff to be re-utilized in filling, gardening, preparing
roads, etc. As far as possible try to carry excavation and filling
simultaneously to avoid double handling.

Select and stack the required material in such a place that it should not
obstruct other construction activities.

The excess or unwanted material should immediately be carried away and

disposed off by employing any of the following methods.

o Labour
o Tractor
o Trucks

Quality Checks for Excavation

o Recording initial ground level and check size of bottom.
o Disposal of unsuitable material for filling.
o Stacking suitable material for backfilling to avoid double handling.
o Strata classification approval by competent authority.
o Dressing bottom and sides of pits as per drawing with respect to
centerline.
o Necessary safety measures observed.

Quality Checks for Backfilling

o Recording initial ground level
o Sample is approved for back filling.
o Necessary marking/ reference points are established for final level of
backfilling.
o Back filling is being carried out in layers (15cm to 20cm).
o Required watering, compaction is done.
o Required density is achieved
