Earth Drain

The document outlines specifications for drainage works, including grading limits for granular backfill and construction guidelines for surface drains. Granular backfill must be compacted in layers not exceeding 150 mm to achieve at least 95% compaction. Additionally, it details requirements for surface drain construction, including types, excavation standards, and erosion prevention measures.

[Link] The granular backfill shall be placed in layers not to exceed 150
mm in depth and each layer shall be thoroughly compacted by
means of packers or mechanical tampers to a relative compaction
of not less than 95% Standard Proctor Density for the backfill
material at optimum moisture content.

4. Surface Water Drains

4.1 Surface drains shall be constructed with regard to both operation and ease of
maintenance and adequate gradient shall be provided to enable self-cleansing flow.

4.2 Where gradient designed is not practical or above the finished level, the Contractor
shall submit their proposal for the approval of the S.O.
4.3 Reinforced concrete struts shall be provided for all drain side walls exceeding 1.0 m
height. Handrails shall be provided for open drains more than 1.5 m width.

4.4 Types Of Surface Drains

4.4.1 Surface drains of all types shown on the Drawings shall be constructed
either unlined or lined using cast in situ concrete, precast or porous concrete
drain sections or stone pitching.

4.4.2 Unlined (earth) drains

[Link] The Contractor shall refer to approved plans for location, extent
and construction details as shown on the Drawing, or otherwise
directed by the S.O.

[Link] Excavation for unlined/earth drains shall be trimmed to form a


smooth, firm surface to the required lines, levels, grades and
cross-sections as shown on the Drawings or as directed by the
S.O.

[Link] Any areas of over excavation shall be made good to the


satisfaction of the S.O., all at the expense of the Contractor.

[Link] The sides of cut drain shall not be steeper than 1:1.5 (V:H), while
fill slopes shall not be steeper than 1:2 (V:H).The surface water
shall be discharges to a stable outlet such that soil erosion is
prevented from occuring.
