#### Document Number: [To be Assigned]

#### Prepared By: [Name]

#### Date: [Date]

#### Approved By: [Name]

#### Revision: [Version]

#### 1. Purpose

To establish a standardized procedure for executing layered compaction at the construction


site, ensuring quality and compliance with MD Sir’s instructions.

#### 2. Scope

This SOP applies to all site engineers, supervisors, operators, and personnel involved in
compaction activities.

#### 3. Responsibility

- Site Engineer: Supervise and ensure compliance.

- Supervisor: Implement and monitor activities.

- Operator: Execute compaction as per guidelines.

- QA/QC Inspector: Conduct quality checks and document results.

#### 4. Equipment Required

- Vibratory Roller

- Plate Compactor

- Laser Level/Gauge Markers


- Sand Cone Apparatus/Nuclear Density Gauge

- Measuring Tape/Scale

#### 5. Procedure

##### Step 1: Site Preparation

- Clear and level the area to be compacted.

- Set out level markers to indicate the required layer thickness.

##### Step 2: Layer Thickness Verification

- Measure the loose layer thickness before compaction using gauge markers.

- Ensure the thickness does not exceed the specified limit (as per project requirements).

##### Step 3: Compaction Process

- Operate the compacting equipment as per manufacturer’s recommendations.

- Follow the specified number of passes based on soil type and compaction equipment.

- Ensure uniform coverage and overlap between passes.

##### Step 4: Quality Check

- Conduct field density tests after compaction.

- Record test results and compare them with specified density requirements.

- Rectify any areas failing to meet standards by re-compacting or adjusting layer thickness.

##### Step 5: Documentation and Reporting

- Maintain daily records of compaction activities.

- Log details of equipment used, passes completed, and test results.

- Report any deviations and corrective actions taken.


#### 6. Safety Precautions

- Wear appropriate PPE (helmet, gloves, safety shoes).

- Operate equipment within designated areas only.

- Follow manufacturer’s guidelines for equipment handling.

#### 7. References

- Project Specifications

- Equipment Operation Manuals

- Quality Assurance Guidelines
