1 After site clearance all pockets and depressions left in the soil, if any, shall be made good and compacted.
2 Earth work shall be done in layers not exceeding 600 mm in the loose state for Vibratory Rollers and compacted with Vibratory Rollers to obtain the density specified as per IS.10379-1982. The number of passes of rollers and the optimum thickness of each layer will be fixed after carrying out field trials with the roller proposed to be used, from time to time and from location to location, the main criteria being to obtain the maximum density achievable uniformly
3 i) Cohesion less soils shall be compacted to get a minimum density index (relative density) of 70percent as obtained in accordance with IS.2720 (Pt.XIV) 1983. ii) All other types of soils when compacted shall attain at least 98 percent of the maximum dry density as determined using heavy compaction in accordance with IS.2720 (Pt.VIII) - 1983 followed by field trials as per IS.10379 - 1982.
4 If the soil is dry, water shall be sprinkled either in the borrow pit or over the spread layer, as convenient in order to obtain a workable moisture content before rolling is commenced. Where the natural moisture content of borrow soil is high, compaction at higher moisture contents can be allowed by the permission of Engineer- in- charge.
5 Each layer shall be compacted to the specified density over its entire width commencing from the two sides, before another layer is started.
6 While compacting, it shall be ensured that there is a minimum overlap of 150 mm. between each run of the rollers. 7 Care should be taken during the compaction operation to slope the surface of the bank to facilitate the shedding and to minimize the absorption of rain water, particular attention being given to the prevention of ponding. 8 The density of each layer of compacted soil shall be ascertained by the Railway by testing an adequate number of soil samples. 9 The quality of work shall be determined by considering the mean density of the samples in each layer. The mean dry density shall be equal to or exceed the minimum specified density. In no individual case shall the density be less than the minimum value specified by more than 2 percent; otherwise further rolling shall be done at the appropriate location. 10 The Contractor shall be allowed to lay a further layer of soil only after the compaction of a particular layer has been found satisfactory. 11 The top of the formation shall be finished to a slope of 1 in 30 away from the center.
12 Extra width of 50 cm. shall be rolled on either side which after finishing the bank upto final height shall be dressed by removing the loose earth on account of rollers not able to compact the soil at the edge of the formation width.

Note: Wire claws should be used while loading of ballast from stacks into as well as leading the ballast onto the track i.e., the baskets should be filled up with ballast by wire claws. 1.5 a) The Contractor should stack the ballast only on level ground approved by the SSE/P.Way on receipt of certificate to that effect from the SSE/P.Way. If at the time of the measurements of ballast stacks by the AEN, they are found stacked on uneven or sloppy ground, the Contractor will have to re-stack such ballast stacks after levelling the ground at his cost. b) The schedule of quantity of ballast to be supplied along the track in each Km/TP will be advised by the Engineer-in-charge before commencement of work. The Contractor should supply the ballast in accordance with the above schedule along the track.
c) The ballast after measurements by the AEN should not be inserted into the track before the bill is passed in the Dy.CE/XEN Office and clear only after obtaining the clearance from Dy.CE/XEN.
1.6 The ballast stacks should be made uniform with their tops and ridges straight and their slopes duly checked with template with no building of the lines and the top surfaces should be level with no cavity. They should be of moderately large size and not less than 1m in height. Cubical content of each stack shall normally be not less than 30 Cum in plain areas and 15 Cum in hilly areas. As far as the depot collection is concerned, the stacks should not be less than 35 Cum each in volume and not less than 1m in height. Variations in the dimensions of stack or in the minimum cubical content in a stock may be personally, authorized by the Divisional Officers in cases where site conditions warrant the above.

ground conditions and availability of land. Where required, the Contractor shall clear and level the ground for the purpose at his cost. 1.7 At any time required by the Engineer or his authorized representative while stacking is in progress and at the time measurements are taken, the Contractor shall supply at his own cost labour, tools and other facilities to open out all or any of the stacks for the purpose of inspection or measurements, numbering of ballast stacks and white washing the stacks in stripe shall be done by the Contractor at his own cost as directed by the Engineer. 1.8 Ballast not confirming to the specifications and rejected by the Engineer-in-charge shall be removed from Railway premises by the Contractor within the time specified by the Engineer failing such removal after the expiry of the period specified in the notice, the Railway shall be at liberty to dispose of the ballast at the risk & cost of the Contractor and charge ground rent as per Railway rules for the period such stacks are allowed to remain in Railway premises. 1.9 Payment for supply of ballast shall be made on the actual measurements without any deduction for voids. The payment for leading and dumping of ballast will be made based on the pre-recorded stack measurements without any deduction for voids. When training out/dumping of ballast is done under an Agreement different from the one for collection, the Assistant Engineer should satisfy himself by test check that the stacks measured earlier are intact and records a certificate to this effect in the measurement book. There should not be any deductions of volume for settlement. 1.10 The operation of collection and training out of ballast should not be carried out simultaneously at the same depot. Similarly, the operation of collection of ballast alongside the Railway line and dumping of the ballast into the track should not be carried out in the same block section. The deviation of these stipulations shall not be allowed except by specific written approval of the Chief Engineer.
1.11 If ballast is to be collected for any reason at a depot or alongside the track where there are some stacks previously measured, the existing ballast stacks will be re- measured first before fresh collections are allowed. After the fresh collections are completed, overall measurements shall be recorded. The difference between the quantity measured later and the quantity measured at the depot/Kilometre on the previous occasion without any deduction in each case will be the quantity collected.
1.12 If ballast is partially trained out from a depot and the ballast train is withdrawn, ballast remaining in the depot should be neatly stacked by the Contractor at his own cost to enable the measurements being taken. The difference between the original quantity and the quantity arrived at after re-stacking without any deduction in each case shall be the quantity trained out. 1.13 Bills for collection or training out of ballast should be based on gross measurements either in stacks or in wagons without any deduction for shrinkage/voids. However, ballast supply is made in wagons shrinkage up to 8% shall be permitted while verifying the quantities at destination. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that ballast is not used or removed before it is recorded in the measurement book and taken over by the Engineer-in-charge and the quantities are finally agreed upon between the Railway and the Contractor. 1.14 Results of the sieve analysis of the ballast stacks should be recorded in register meant for the purpose.
