laser equipment. These works include tracing the areas and guiding the earthworks
crew in order to meet the project grades for every area considered in the scope of
works (Warehouse slabs, guard house, substation pad, sidewalks, power meter
booth, dock yard, parking and driveways). This will be in accordance to an approved
grading plan.

1.02.00 SITE CLEARING
Description:
 Performed with machinery (bulldozer and grader) over the property in order to
remove the organic topsoil. This procedure also considers the natural ground ripping
and compaction to meet 95% of the Proctor test preparing the site for the building
pad works, and the embankment for trucks and vehicle roadways.

Mandatory codes, regulations and standards:
 Proctor Test, according to soil mechanics and reviewed by CPA.

1.03.00 BUILDING PAD
Description:
 These embankments will be formed by layers of “imported bank material” with an
average of 8” (20cm), moistened and compacted to meet 95% of the Proctor
compaction test. The amount of “imported bank material” layers will depend on the
final grading requirements. The building grade is based on a dock height design, with
actual and future dock areas (dock area expansion capability). Consider positive
slope to property limit directed to a concrete flume (if required), all this for rainwater
superficial drainage purposes, the water must be conducted outside the property to
authorized areas.
 The building must be dock high.
