SECTION 1 - ROCKWORKS

===========================================================================

1.01

GENERAL The work includes the furnishing of all labor, materials and equipment required for the rock works including slope protection, armour, underlayer, rock fill, riprap, scour rock protection, filters sand mattresses, and filter fabric in accordance with these Specifications and as indicated in the drawings or as directed by the Engineer. Rock to be used shall be fissure-free and shall not disintegrate in sea water. Specific gravities shall not be less than 2.65.

1.02

WORK PROGRAM The Contractor, before the commencement of Work shall submit for the Engineers approval his proposed methodology in placing of core, under layer and armour materials and the detailed plan for the transport of the rock materials including the location plan of the quarry site. Supply and placing of rock materials called for in the Contract shall be the entire responsibility of the Contractor.

1.03

SURVEY AND SETTING OUT OF WORKS Prior to commencement of the Works, the Contractor together with the Engineer shall conduct topographic survey and sounding of sea bed to determine actual field conditions. This survey shall form the basis of quantity measurement. The Contractor shall set out the Works and shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of such setting out. Visible construction markers to clearly define horizontal limits of the Works shall be established by the Contractor prior to placing of any material.

1.04

SHAPE OF ROCK The shape of rocks to be used shall generally be angular. Smooth, rounded rocks shall not be accepted/allowed to be incorporated in the works. The smallest size of a typical rock shall be at least 25% of the size of the largest rock accepted/allowed for use in the works.

1.05

QUARRY SITE AND ROCK QUANTITY 1) Necessary survey/investigation of quarry sites applicable to the Works shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Quality and quantity of rocks as called for in the Contract shall be the priority consideration in the selection of quarry site. 2) The Contractor shall submit his investigation data and test results on rock samples for the approval of the Engineer.

3) The Contractor, when he so intends to operate a quarry, shall be responsible for the operation including, but not limited to obtaining all necessary permits, compliance to all regulations, payment of royalties or the like (if any), provision and maintenance of safety measures and temporary access roads and jetty for the transportation of quarried materials. 4) The Engineer reserves the right to suspend any operation in connection with the natural rock and borrow pit, when in his opinion such quarried rock do not comply with the Specifications called for in the Contract. In such case, the Contractor shall comply with the Engineers instruction. 1.06 STORAGE OF MATERIALS Rock materials shall be stored by class, in a manner approved by the Engineer, in a yard kept clean and free from undesirable materials. 1.07 SAMPLING TEST 1) Prior to commencement of rock works, samples of rock material with the test results conforming to the Specifications called for in the Contract shall be submitted to the Engineer for approval. 2) Rock samples from different sources and of different classes shall also be submitted with test results and its corresponding certificates for the Engineers approval. 3) Rocks accepted at the quarries before shipments or at the site before placement shall not construed as a waiver of the right of the Engineer to reject any rock which does not meet the requirement of the Specifications. 4) Sample/s of each class of the approved materials are to be kept in the field for comparison/checking of delivered materials. 1.08 PLACING OF ROCKS 1) The rocks shall be placed in accordance with the typical sections and elevations shown in the drawings. The methods of placing of rocks to be followed shall be based on sound engineering practice and as noted in the drawings, unless otherwise directed by the Engineer. 2) Mound core materials shall be placed in a manner that will prevent segregation of rock sizes, and shall be dumped as uniformly as possible using appropriate equipment or other suitable means as approved by the Engineer. 1.09 MEASURING ROCKS FOR PAYMENT The quantity of rocks actually furnished and placed shall be determined by using the measured actual cross-sections of the bulkhead/rock causeway at 20 meters interval or closer if necessary. Sounding along the bulkhead/causeway shall be made immediately before and after placing of rocks to the configuration/shape and section

as indicated in the drawings. The settlement determined by using settlement rod or plate shall be considered in the computation. 1.10 CROSS-SECTIONS OF COMPLETED ROCKWORK Cross-sections showing the elevations of the completed rockworks, and the terrain of the existing seabed prior to construction shall accompany every request for progress/final payment. Sections previously paid should be distinguished from sections being requested for payment. 1.11 ARMOURING SLOPES UNDER WHARF DECK 1) After driving of piles, fine grade slope area shall be protected to an even surface. Depressions shall be filled with suitable rock material to provide uniform surface after dredging work has been completed within 10 meters of the wharf line. 2) Protection of piles from damage shall be considered during the slope armouring operations. 3) The Contractor shall employ controlled placing methods to secure uniform layer of specified dimension of underlayer rocks and ensure that the entire slope including the area around the piles are covered. Divers assistance shall be employed to satisfactorily complete the work. 4) Armour rock shall only be placed after completion of the installation of the underlayer rocks and upon acceptance by the Engineer. The Contractor shall use suitable and approved method to ensure uniform layer of specified thickness and armour protection that covers the entire slope area. Divers assistance shall be employed to complete the work.
