New Project: Bulldozer Pushing Soil to Fill Flooded Area Along Highway Road – 5-Ton Truck Assistance

A critical section of the highway has been flooded due to heavy rainfall, causing disruptions to traffic and potential road damage. To restore safe passage, this project involves:

• Bulldozer operations to push and compact soil into the flooded zone.

• 5-ton trucks transporting additional fill material to stabilize the area.

Scope of Work

1. Site Assessment

   • Inspect the flooded area to determine soil type, water depth, and required fill volume.

   • Mark boundaries for filling to ensure proper alignment with the highway.

2. Mobilization of Equipment

   • Deploy a heavy-duty bulldozer (e.g., Caterpillar D6 or equivalent) for soil pushing and grading.

   • Utilize 5-ton dump trucks to deliver compactable soil (clayey or granular material).

3. Soil Filling Process

   • Bulldozer pushes and spreads soil in layers (max 30cm per lift).

   • Trucks dump fill material at designated points for efficient distribution.

   • Compaction using the bulldozer or a roller to prevent future sinking.

4. Drainage Improvement

   • Create side slopes to divert water away from the road.

   • Install temporary French drains if needed to prevent re-flooding.

5. Final Grading & Cleanup

   • Smooth the surface to match highway elevation.

   • Remove excess debris and ensure proper drainage flow.

Safety & Efficiency Measures

✔ Traffic control – Use cones, signs, and flaggers to protect workers and drivers.
✔ Slope stability checks – Prevent landslides by compacting soil properly.
✔ Weather monitoring – Avoid working during heavy rain to prevent washouts.

Expected Outcome

• Restored highway usability within 48–72 hours (depending on flood severity).

• Long-term stability with reinforced soil and improved drainage.

Conclusion

This bulldozer and truck-assisted filling operation will quickly repair the flooded highway section, ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow. Proper planning, layered filling, and compaction will prevent future flooding risks.

Next Steps:

• Mobilize equipment and crew.

• Begin filling and compaction immediately.

• Monitor for erosion post-completion.
