DIVISION 2100: CLEARING AND GRUBBING
2101 SCOPE
This Division covers the clearing of the Site and grubbing necessary for the construction of
the Works covered by the Contract, in accordance with these Specifications, and the

(a) Clearing
Clearing shall consist of the removal of all trees, brush, other vegetation, rubbish, fences
and all other objectionable material including the disposal of all material resulting from theclearing and grubbing.
It shall also include the removal and disposal of structures that obtrude, encroach upon or
otherwise obstruct the work and which can be cleared by means of a bulldozer of
approximately 22 tons mass and flywheel power of approximatel 270kW.
The moving of a certain amount of soil or gravel material may be inherent to or
unavoidable during the process of clearing and no extra payment will be made for this.
Clearing shall include the removal of all rocks and boulders of up to 0.15 cu.m. in size
which are exposed or lying on the surface.
Where fences have to be taken down and the material sorted, coiled and stacked, payment
for this work shall be made under series 9000.
(b) Grubbing
Where directed by the Engineer, all stumps and roots larger than 75mm in diameter shall
be removed to a depth of not less than 600 mm below the finished road level and a
minimum of 75 mm below original ground level. Where the existing ground has to be
compacted, all stumps and roots including matted roots shall be removed to a depth of at
least 200 mm below the cleared surface, except where otherwise specified or directed by
the Engineer.
Except at borrow areas the cavities resulting from the grubbing shall be backfilled withapproved material and compacted to a density not less than the density of the surrounding
ground.
(c) Conservation of topsoil
Where suitable topsoil exists within the limits of the area to be cleared and/or grubbed, the
Contractor shall, if ordered by the Engineer, remove the topsoil together with any grass and
other suitable vegetation. If not used immediately, the topsoil shall be transported and
deposited in stockpiles for later use. The Contractor will not be required to remove topsoil
to an average depth of less than 150 mm from any particular area.
