Clearing and Grubbing in Road Works
Clearing and Grubbing in Road Works
Site Preparation:
Surveying: Before clearing and grubbing begins, the road alignment is carefully surveyed and marked. This ensures that only the necessary areas are cleared and that the process aligns with the road design.
Clearing:
Vegetation Removal: All trees, shrubs, and other vegetation along the proposed road path are removed. This includes not only the surface vegetation but also smaller plants and bushes that could interfere with the road construction.
Debris Removal: Rocks, fallen branches, and other debris are also removed during this phase.
Grubbing:
Root and Stump Removal: After clearing the surface, the grubbing process removes roots, stumps, and other underground obstructions. This is crucial because any remaining organic material could decay over time, leading to voids or soft spots under the road.
Underground Obstructions: In some cases, large boulders, old foundations, or other underground obstructions are encountered. These must be removed or managed to ensure a stable base for the road.
Topsoil Removal:
The top layer of soil, which often contains organic material, is typically removed. This layer is not suitable for supporting a road because it is not stable enough and may cause settling over time.
Erosion and Sediment Control:
Measures are taken to prevent soil erosion, especially if the area has a slope or is prone to heavy rainfall. This might include installing silt fences, sediment traps, or other erosion control structures.
Disposal:
The materials removed during clearing and grubbing are disposed of according to environmental regulations. In some cases, vegetation may be chipped and used for erosion control, while other debris may be hauled away.
Compaction and Grading:
After clearing and grubbing, the site is often compacted and graded to provide a level and stable surface for the roadbed. This is essential for ensuring the road's longevity and performance.
Environmental Considerations:
Clearing and grubbing activities must consider the impact on the environment, including preserving nearby water bodies, minimizing habitat destruction, and adhering to regulations regarding protected species or wetlands.
Importance in Road Construction:
Clearing and grubbing in road construction ensures that the foundation of the road is stable and free from any materials that could compromise the integrity of the road over time. Proper execution of these activities is essential for the durability and safety of the road infrastructure.

It is different to welding in that the parts being joined are not melted and are usually not the sam...

    • @ProudtobeaCivilEngineer
      @ProudtobeaCivilEngineer 4 місяці тому

      Thank you for watching our videos. In bored piling works, checking the bentonite slurry is a critical process to ensure the stability of the borehole and the quality of the final pile. Here are the key times when bentonite slurry should be checked: 1) Before pumping into the boredhole: Density: Ensure the density of the bentonite slurry meets the required specifications. Typically, the density should be around 1.03 to 1.10 g/cm³. Viscosity: Check the viscosity using a Marsh funnel. The viscosity should usually be between 28 to 40 seconds for a 1000 ml flow. pH Level: The pH should be between 8.5 and 10.5 to ensure the bentonite is active and will perform effectively. 2) During boring operation: Density and Viscosity: Regularly monitor the density and viscosity of the slurry during the drilling process to ensure consistency and to avoid sedimentation. Sand Content: Check the sand content regularly (typically it should be less than 4%) to prevent excessive wear on the drilling equipment and ensure the slurry can support the borehole walls. 3) Before Concrete Placement: Cleanliness: Ensure the bentonite slurry is clean and free from excessive sand and debris. This may involve desanding operations. Filtrate Loss: Check the filtrate loss of the slurry. This is important to ensure that the slurry does not dehydrate the soil excessively, which could destabilize the borehole walls. Density and Viscosity: Recheck the density and viscosity to ensure they are within the acceptable range for concreting. 4) After Concreting: Displacement Check: Ensure that the bentonite slurry is properly displaced by concrete during the pouring process. Monitor the return slurry for contamination and ensure it is properly disposed of or recycled. Consistent and careful monitoring of the bentonite slurry at these stages helps in maintaining the integrity of the borehole and ensures the successful installation of the pile. Feel free to ask questions! Thanks again. Kindly suggest our content to your friends and colleagues.

    I dont understand the last part where they partially lift the casing for top up concrete. I thought its build up for pda but it collapse after they pulled out the whole casing. Great video though, thanks. But, somebody explain the last part pls. Thanks.

    • @ProudtobeaCivilEngineer
      @ProudtobeaCivilEngineer 6 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching the video. I'm happy to see that you asked a great question. Sometimes, the cut-off level is much deeper compared to near-surface. The sound concrete must be above the cut-off level for the bored piles. The pile cross-section is perfectly circular in drawings, but it's not in reality. This depends on the soil profiles as well as the verticality of the boring rig. Therefore, there are variations in the concrete quantities theoretically and actually. So, in order to ensure that the sound concrete is above the cut-off level, we usually top up the concrete at the end. That's why we lift the steel casing (ensuring that the required length is embedded below the ground) and pour the concrete into the casing. At the end, we remove the steel casing, as it is temporary. I hope this explanation answers your question.
