Soil compaction Sample Clauses

Soil compaction. The measures for mitigating soil compaction shall apply only to cultivated land and land that Hydro-Québec turns over to cultivation upon completion of construction. Under certain unfavorable conditions (soaked soil, winter thaw and other critical conditions), construction work may compact the soil to a greater or lesser degree, depending upon stoniness, vegetation and soil type. To minimize damage, the following measures shall be taken: • Schedule the work during seasons when the bearing capacity of the soil is best. • Restrict access to the work site by certain vehicles or machinery when the bearing capacity of the soil is inadequate. • Only use vehicles or machinery that are tracked or have extra-wide tires. • Limit machine traffic to one lane and minimize the number of trips. • Use a load-bearing mat or mattress. • Suspend certain phases of the work when conditions are unsatisfactory. • Use any other methods recommended by the agricultural specialist. Should soil compaction occur despite these measures, Hydro-Québec shall decompact the soil when the work is completed using the measures described in section 3.4.6 on site restoration.‌‌ In temporary work areas in woodlands, Hydro-Québec shall avoid activities that might cause soil compaction. Should soil compaction occur despite preventive measures agreed upon with the landowner, Hydro-Québec shall loosen the soil when its use of the temporary work area has ended.

  • Compaction 11.1 Concrete shall be thoroughly compacted and fully worked around the reinforcement, around embedded fixtures and into corners of the formwork. 11.2 Concrete shall be compacted using mechanical vibrators complying with IS 2505, IS 2506, IS 2514 and IS:4656. Over vibration and under vibration of concrete are harm full and shall be avoided. Vibration of very wet mixes shall also be avoided. Whenever vibration has to be applied externally, the design of formwork and the disposition of vibrators shall receive special consideration to ensure efficient compaction and to avoid surface blemishes.

  • Dewatering (a) Where the whole of a site is so affected by surface water following a period of rain that all productive work is suspended by agreement of the Parties, then dewatering shall proceed as above with Employees so engaged being paid at penalty rates as is the case for safety rectification work. This work is typically performed by Employees engaged within CW1, CW2 or CW3 classifications. When other Employees are undertaking productive work in an area or areas not so affected then dewatering will only attract single time rates. (b) Where a part of a site is affected by surface water following a period of rain, thus rendering some areas unsafe for productive work, consistent with the Employer’s obligations under the OH&S Act, appropriate Employees shall assist in the tidying up of their own work site or area if it is so affected. Where required, appropriate Employees will be provided with the appropriate PPE. Such work to be paid at single time rates. Productive work will continue in areas not so affected. (c) To avoid any confusion any ‘dewatering’ time which prevents an Employee from being engaged in their normal productive work is not included in any calculation for the purposes of determining whether an Employee is entitled to go home due to wet weather (refer clauses 32.4 and 32.5)
