the roundabout in Lulimile suburb of Lichinga and Litunde in Niassa Province; refer to project

location map under Appendix 1-1.

The road is being upgraded by means of widening and strengthening and widening and

resealing of the existing carriageway. The rehabilitated carriageway width will generally

provide for 2 x 3.5m wide traffic lanes, 2 x 0.5m sealed shoulders and 2 x 1.0m cement

stabilized gravel shoulders.

The stretch between Lichinga and Litunde is subdivided in three distinct sections:

1. The first 7 km section, km 0+000 to km 7+140, is an existing 6 m wide surfaced road

that is in fair condition and is to be widened and to receive double seal surface treatment

(DBST) as reseal.

2. From km 7+140 to km 57+870 exists a 4 m wide surfaced road that was resealed not

long ago and that is also in fair condition. In this section the pavement is to be

strengthened, widened and DBST surfaced.

3. From km 57+870 to km 66+200 the road has a width of 6.1 m to km 7.5, that in some

stretches widens to 8 m, with a paved surface in good condition. This section is to be

widened and resealed.

The work consists also of five post stressed girder and slab, one three span and four single span,

bridges that locate outside the project road, but along the same route, between Litunde and

Marrupa.

2 PHYSICAL PROGRESS OF WORKS

2.1 OVERALL PROGRESS SUMMARY

Following suspension of the works in March 2014, partial works activities were resumed on 4th

May 2015. These activities included only layer works up to subbase level without stabilization.

Full resumption of the works was undertaken only in early July 2015. The cumulative progress

of the construction works is therefore generally as achieved by the Contractor in since early

July 2015 until end of October 2015 as shown in Table 2.1 below.

(**) The contractor submitted a revised program on 4th October 2015 to replace the June

tentative Program. According to this current program and as can be observed from the above

the Contractor is behind schedule in construction of sub-base and in construction of Lugenda,

Uriate and Necoleze Bridges. During the review period production has been negiligible This

was mainly due to unavailability of cement for the sub-base. There was also shortage of diesel

internitently caused by cash flow problem. The Contractor needs to submit another revised

program to reflect the real progress.

2.3.1 Survey &Setting out

During the review period survey activities consisted mainly of checks on Subgrade, sub-base

and base for the purpose of compliance with the permissible level tolerance limits, setting out

works on abutment embankment slopes and concrete lined side drains. All survey works

concerning the road alignment and cross sections of the road have been completed.

2.3.2 Traffic Management

The status of Traffic Management is satisfactory with traffic management signs now being

erected as necessary despite the problem faced with vandalism.

2.3.3 Materials Laboratory

The Materials Laboratory has been fully operational over the review period with all equipment

supplied to the contract specifications and being in satisfactory condition and having been

calibrated at project resumption. Further equipment calibration is being done as and when

necessary..

2.3.4 Engineers Facilities

The Engineers houses and offices are satisfactory. Occupation of the same has been effected

as necessary.

The following project vehicles are available to the Engineer

1 x 3000 diesel LWB Four by four double cab Toyota Raider.

Page 32 of 48


5.5 SOURCES OF MATERIALS

The sources of materials that have been identified and approved to date are as shown in the table

included under Appendix 5.3.

5.6 DESIGN MODIFICATION

The Contractor proposed that the modified binder Colflex SE1 specified in the Lichinga Litunde

Road Rehabilitation and Upgrading project to be replaced by the penetration grade bitumen

70/100 of which 330 tons are available at their Montepois Works Yard. The proposal is done

mainly due to the non availability of the SE1 binder at the Lichinga Site because of sever cash

flow problem the Contractor is facing at this point in time. The contractors proposal is passed to

the ANE with the Engineers recommendation for their consideration.

5.7 ISSUES, PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

5.7.1 Damaged base layer

The following two sections were rejected due to damage during the works suspension period

caused by vehicular traffic and surface run-off during rains.

The Base sections of the shoulders from chainage 0+900 to 7+140

The full width base within chainages 23+350 to 25+860

Instructions were issued to the contractor for rectification of both sections following which

the section km 23+350 to km 25+860 had already been rectified during the month of

September 2015.

5.7.2 Railway Crossing

The stabilization works of the base layer and surfacing of the section km 10+150 to km

11+450 could not be completed due to issues concerning level differences between the

finished road level and the levels at which the railway lines were crossing. This had to be

discussed with Corridor de Desenvolvimento de Norte (CDN) and Vale. This discussion was

concluded on 29th September 2015 and the two organizations have now given their consent

that the road can be constructed at the current design levels. Instructions to proceed with the

construction works had been issued to the Contractor early October 2015.

5.7.3 Non-Conformances

The following non-conformances, all caused by the Contractor, were discovered during the

review period.

Wrong alignment setting out on the Lichinga side approach of Uriate Bridge.

Following the wrong setting out a wrong work was done which now needs

rectification.

Abutment embankment slope, left hand side on the Lichinga side, was set out

wrongly and the slope is cut to the wrong inclination.

Wrong design of inserting a left curve between two right curves instead of joining

them with a tangent. Alignment looks aukward. Needs to be changed. But requires

only minimal rectification.

Wrong alignment setting out on Lichinga side of Lureco bridge approach. Work

commenced on the wrong premise and therefore needs rectification by the Contractor.
