The quality control was based on a request system, where the contractor issues a
“request for inspection (RFI) form for each part of the works completed. The RFI
forms are issued by the contractor and then received by the supervision team of
UNRA.
The RFA format approved for the project is arranged in a sequential manner for
approval process right from the inspector up to the project manager. The copy is then
forwarded to the to the contractor for record and information so as to act accordingly.
Contractors completion report Page 4 of 20
Quality control tests were done jointly so that any result obtained could not be
contested or objected. The field tests included (but was not limited to, depending on
the ongoing activities) Field density tests, moisture content tests, field coring, direct
cone penetration (DCP) tests and spray rates.
5.2 Materials used and the sources
Suitable fill materials of G15 were utilised for earthworks and were obtained from
approved borrow pits tested to fulfil the specification requirements.
Hard core boulders form the quarry was utilised for the rock fill activities while
crushed rock materials was utilised for processing of crushed aggregates.
Concrete for construction of culverts structures was from Hima cement and Tororo
cement of 32.5 and 42.5 OPC. Fine aggregates and coarse aggregates are obtained
from the quarry. Village water being used for earth works, subgrade layers, pavement
layer processing and concrete works is being obtained from local water sources

Environmental Compliance levels
Water Sources, Water abstraction permits and water quality monitoring
Water sources
Throughout the rehabilitation period, the Contractor obtained water for her activities
from the following sources at chainage Km 9+690 LHS, Km 49+900 at Chebonet river,
and Km 8+180 LHS 4 Km offset at Mafudu Junction.
Water Abstraction Permits
Contractors completion report Page 9 of 20
In compliance with Water Act Cap, 152, the Contractor obtained valid water abstraction
permits for both surface and ground water abstractions. These water abstraction permits
were submitted to supervisor
Water Quality monitoring
The Contractor adhered to the principle of water quality monitoring as different water
samples from three water sources were continuous tested by Uganda National Water and
Sewerage Corporation at Bugolobi. The results from the water source (Boreholes) at
chainage Km 8+180 LHS, 2.5 Km (Well Behind the Asphalt Plant), Km 8+180 LHS, 3
Km offset at the Camp Site, Km 49+900 at Chebonet Kapchorwa District. The results
revealed that the waters were fit for domestic consumption based on values of the
indicators (pH, color, Alkalinity, So4, turbidity, Fe total, EC, TSS, Hardness, Mg, Ca,
BI-Carbonate, CI, FI and Nitrate) were all below the National standard for natural
portable water.
Waste Management
Solid Waste management
CCECC managed her solid waste (non-hazardous/biodegradable, hazardous waste (Used
oil, greases fluids and medical wastes), plastic waste among others by putting in place
clearly labelled waste containers (i.e. food staff remains, paper waste, polythene bags
waste and hazardous waste) at all road active sites.
Human waste
The Contractor maintained sanitation and hygiene at all the project sites (camp site, stone
quarry, Asphalt plant, active road sites and auxiliary sites (borrow pits, dump sites and
aggregate stockpiles). This has been evidenced by erected permanent and clear labelled
toilets. For the auxiliary sites (borrow pits, dump sites and aggregate stockpiles) and
other road active sections, mobile toilets were provided. In addition, general routine
cleaning activities around these project sites were conducted on daily basis; toilet
cleaning, compound clearing /slashing, office cleaning and compound sweeping.
Hazardous waste management
Contractors completion report Page 10 of 20
CCECC sub contracted a licensed NEMA hazardous waste handler to handle the
hazardous waste and reached a memorandum of understanding. CCECC designated
an area for temporary storing of the hazardous waste (especially waste oil, grease,
fluids, and crusher remain among others) before collected by Licensed NEMA
hazardous waste handler.
Waste water discharge
The contractor-maintained waste waters as the batch plant and washing bay were
constructed far away from any water source. Also waste water from campsite buildings
were directed into the soak pit. Lastly, the Contractor regularly conducted water quality
testing on the different water sources to check the level of contamination and parameters
were; PH, EC, TDs. TSS, CoD, BoD, suphide, chloride and Fecal coliforms. The results
continuously shown that waters were fit domestic consumption.
Monitoring of Dust and Air quality, Noise, Sound and soil pollution
CCECC monitored Dust and air quality, noise, Sound and soil pollution throughout the
rehabilitation of the road project j
Dust and Air quality monitoring
Dust suppressions were conducted all road active site/section as the contractor had in
place six water bowsers. In addition, wet crushing was conducted at quarry during the
stone crushing to avoid dust-built area.
Noise, and Sound pollution monitoring
The Noise and sound vibration were monitored by doing continuous servicing of the
noise and sound producing machines e.g. the generators, crusher, drilling and blasting
machines. Noise and sound vibration records were taken to ensure that the emission of
noise does not exceed the permissible noise levels. However, workers and operators
conducting operations that generated excessive noise were provided with earplug and
muffs to the workers ensure their safety.
Soil pollution monitoring
Contractors completion report Page 11 of 20
CCECC avoided soil pollution by having a designed workshop for her machinery and
equipment servicing. Waste oil handling areas were designated with containers and
servicing buckets for proper management of waste oil during the operation period. Also
the contractor had a bitumen store with concrete constructed floor for storing bitumen to
avoid bitumen infiltration into the soils.
Material Extraction
All borrow pits for the project required ES approval before utilization, the Contractor had
six approved borrow pits by project engineer for murram excavation. These borrow pits
were located at chainages; Km 25+400 LHS 5 Km offset Buyaga Trading Centre, Km
38+200 RHS 700 m offset Kaserem along Kaserem-Kamu Road, Km 18+200 LHS 5 Km
offset Sironko Trading Centre and the Borrow pit at Km 32+328 LHS 5 Km offset at
