Copy and

Write a particular specification for a cut-to-fill earthworks operation for a large sports

field. Use the SABS 1200 format. You will have to establish realistic values for the

density requirement of the fill, quality requirements and tolerances, method of payment

and sufficient pay items. Use SABS 1200 DA as a guide.

Assume that the ground conditions are unknown and could include rock, hard and soft

materials. Also assume that the size of the sports field is not known as the Client has

not yet decided if he needs a field for soccer, rugby, cricket or hockey, or all four. Note

that the project specification will include a geotechnical report and a series of drawings

giving all dimensions, slopes, etc.paste your question here...

OBJECTIVES 
1. To minimise topsoil and vegetation removal and “land-shaping” on land where residential 
subdivisions are 
being constructed. 
CONTROLS 
1. Earthworks shall be minimised to locations where the construction of roads require earthworks to be 
undertaken. 
2. Such earthworks may extend into the proposed allotments for the purpose of providing suitable 
vehicle 
access to the identified building platform referred to in Section 4. 
3. Vegetation and topsoil are not to be removed or disturbed in areas outside of the above areas of 
proposed 
construction. 
4. All proposed public open space areas are to be fenced and are not to be disturbed or used for any 
purpose 
during the construction of a subdivision. 
5. Subdivision applications must provide a plan showing the existing pre-development and proposed 
finished 
ground levels to enable an assessment of the extent of earthworks proposed and assessment of the 
relationship between the finished road levels and proposed building platform levels. 
6.9 Cut and Fill 
OBJECTIVES 
1. To provide a landform that is capable of supporting a range of residential, business and industrial 
uses. 
2. To minimise the impact of earthworks on the stormwater regime, salinity and groundwater. 
3. To ensure that the extent of cut and fill required for large scale development does not detract from 
the 
appearance and design. 
4. To ensure that development is capable of visual integration with the surrounding environment. 
5. To ensure that any imported fill material to a site is clean and complies with the contamination and 
salinity 
provisions of this section. 
6. To ensure land is appropriately stabilised and retained. 
7. To ensure that the extent of cut and fill does not encroach within,
