Page 19 of 185 Seal & Signature of Tenderer
6.7.4 Filling of the trenches shall be carried simultaneously on both sides of the pipe to avoid
unequal pressure on the pipe.
7.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
7.1 All excavation shall be measured net. Dimensions for the purpose of payment shall be
reckoned on the horizontal area of the P.C.C. at the base for foundations of the walls,
columns, footings, tanks, rafts, or other foundations/structures to be built, multiplied by the
mean depth from the surface of the ground in accordance with the drawings and duly
recorded ground levels. Excavation in side slopes will not be paid for. CONTRACTOR may
make such allowance in his rates to provide for excavation in side slopes keeping in mind
the nature of the soil and safety of excavation for fixing shuttering etc..
7.2 Backfilling as per specifications as specified and directed for the sides of foundations of
columns, footings, structures, walls, tanks, rafts, trenches, etc. with excavated material will
not be paid for separately. It shall be clearly understood that rates quoted for excavation
shall include stacking of excavated material, if required, within specified lead, backfilling
with selected earth in layers of 150 mm, compacting, etc. and transporting the surplus
excavated material outside plot limits.
7.3 Payment for fill inside trenches, plinth or similar filling with selected excavated material will
be made for only compaction as specified/directed by ENGINEER. Cost of all other
operations shall be deemed to have been included in the rates quoted. Payment for thiswork will be made based on measurement of plinth/trench dimensions filled. The
plinth/ground levels shall be surveyed before commencement of earthwork for this
purpose.
7.4 Actual quantity of consolidated filling shall be measured as per the levels before and after
filling and paid for in cubic metres.
7.5 CONTRACTOR's rate shall include the cost of shoring, strutting, and de-watering, if required.
8.0 ANTI-TERMITE TREATMENT:
8.1 GENERAL:
The formation of the chemically treated soil barrier shall be accomplished in stages as the
building construction work progresses and due care shall be excercised to ensure that each
stage of treatment is well integrated with that previously applied so that no unprotected
avenues of termite entry are left open.
8.2 CHEMICALS:
The chemicals used for the soil treatment shall conform to IS Codes. The only allowed type
is Chlorophyrisphos. Measurement for this will be based on actual area

UNDER CAPACITY AUGMENTATION PROJECT
MUMBAI-PUNE-SOLAPUR PIPELEINE
Page 20 of 185 Seal & Signature of Tenderer
8.3 COMMENCEMENT OF TREATMENT:
The treatment shall commence after the construction has reached the plinth level and
before the rubble packing or sand bed over the filled earth in the plinth area is laid.Treatment shall also be given to all the faces of pits excavated for footings.
8.4 TERMITE PROOF BARRIER AT DPC LEVEL:
a) Where a Damp Proof Course is provided, the CONTRACTOR shall apply chemical
emulsion, as specified above, on the surface of the DPC when the concrete is yet green, at
the rate of 5 litres per sq. metre of DPC surface, ensuring that the emulsion gets soaked into
the concrete.
b) Where no DPC is provided, the mortar used for two consecutive courses of masonry just
below the plinth filling shall be made with emulsion, as specified above, instead of water.These two operations are intended to create a termite proof barrier in the plinth wall,
preventing subterranean termites from infiltrating through voids in the masonry into the
superstructure.
8.5 TREATMENT OF TOP SURFACE OF PLINTH FILLING:
After the earth filling is completed in the plinth areas and before the dry rubble packing or
sub-grade is laid, the entire surface of the filled earth shall be treated with the chemical
emulsion at five litres per sq. metre. Light rodding may be carried out in the soil surface to
facilitate absorption of the emulsion.
The above application is intended to prevent entry of termites through the floor structure.
8.6 TREATMENT AT JUNCTION OF COLUMNS/WALLS AND FLOOR:
Rodding shall be carried out among the junction of the columns/walls and earth filling at
150 mm, intervals down to or slightly lower than the DPC or the chemical barrier described
above. Emulsion shall be spreaded along the wall junction at the rate of one litre per linear
metre so that it mixes with the broken up soil and seeps to the DPC level or chemical
barrier, thus establishing continuity of the anti-termite layer. The disturbed earth shall be
tamped back in place after the treatment.
8.7 TREATMENT OF SOIL ALONG EXTERNAL PERIMETER:
Finally the earth around the external perimeter of the building upto a depth of 50 mm shall
be treated at the rate of five litres per running metre of the plinth wall. To facilitate this
treatment, solid M.S. Rods shall be driven into the soil as close as possible to the plinth wall
at intervals of 150 mm and the rods moved backward and forward in a direction parallel to
the wall to break up earth so that chemical emulsion mixes intimately with the soil.
8.8 TREATMENT OF SOIL SURROUNDING PIPES, WASTES & CONDUITS:
When pipes, Waste pipes, conduits, etc. enter the soil inside the area of the foundation, the
soil surrounding the point of entry must be loosened around each such pipe, for a distance
of 150 mm and up to a depth of 75 mm before treatment is commenced, when they enter

14.0 CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT:
All equipment used for mixing, transporting and placing of concrete shall be maintained inclean condition. All pans, buckets, hoppers, chutes, pipelines & other equipment shall be
thoroughly cleaned after each period of placement.
15.0 PROCEDURE FOR PLACING OF CONCRETE:
15.1 ENGINEER'S APPROVAL OF EQUIPMENT & METHOD:
Before any concrete is placed, the entire placing program consisting of equipment, layout,
proposed procedures and methods shall be submitted to ENGINEER for approval, if so
demanded by ENGINEER and no concrete shall be placed until ENGINEER's approval has
been received. Equipment for conveying concrete shall be of such size and design as to
ensure a practically continuous flow of concrete during depositing without segregation of
materials, considering the size of the job and placement location.
15.2 TIME INTERVAL BETWEEN MIXING AND PLACING:
Concrete shall be placed in its final position before the cement reaches its initial set and
concrete shall normally be compacted in its final position within thirty minutes of leaving
the mixer, and once compacted, it shall not be disturbed.
15.3 AVOIDING SEGREGATION:
Concrete shall, in all cases, be placed as near as practicable directly in its final position, and
shall not be rehandled or caused to flow in a manner which will cause segregation loss of
materials, displacement of reinforcement, shuttering or embedded inserts or impair its
strength. For locations where direct placement is not possible, and in narrow forms,
CONTRACTOR shall provide suitable drop and "Elephant Trunks" to confine the movement
of concrete. Special care shall be excercised when concrete is dropped from a height,
especially if reinforcement is in the way, particularly in columns and thin members.
15.4 PLACING BY MANUAL LABOUR:
Except when otherwise approved by ENGINEER, concrete shall be placed in the shuttering
by shovels or other approved equipment. It should be handled in a manner to preclude
segregation. Care should be taken to avoid displacement of reinforcement or movement of

16.0 COMPACTION:
16.1 Concrete shall be compacted during placing, with approved vibrating equipment until theconcrete has been consolidated to the maximum practicable density, is free of pockets of
coarse aggregates and fits tightly against all form surfaces, reinforcement and embedded
fixtures. Particular care shall be taken to ensure that all concrete placed against the form
faces and into corners of forms or against hardened concrete at joints is free from voids or
cavities. The use of vibrators shall be consistent with the concrete mix and caution
exercised not to over vibrate the concrete to the point that segregation results, and water
appears on the top surface.
16.2 USE OF VIBRATORS:
The exact manner of application and the most suitable machines for the purpose must be
carefully considered and operated by experienced men. Immersion vibrators shall be
inserted vertically at points not more than 450 mm apart and withdrawn when air bubbles
cease to come to the surface. Immersion vibrators shall be withdrawn very slowly. In no
case shall immersion vibrators be used to transport concrete inside the forms. Particular
attention shall be paid to vibration at the top of a lift e.g. in a column or wall.
16.3 PENETRATION OF VIBRATOR:
The immersion vibrator shall penetrate the layer being placed and also penetrate the layer
below while the under layer is still plastic, to ensure good bond and homogeneity between
the two layer sand prevent the formation of cold joints.
16.3.1 VIBRATION AGAINST REINFORCEMENT:
Care shall be taken to prevent contact of immersion vibrator with reinforcement steel
and/or embedded parts. Immersion vibrators shall not be allowed to come in contact with
reinforcement steel after start of initial set. They shall also not be allowed to come in
contact with forms of finished surfaces.
16.4 STONE POCKETS AND MORTAR PONDAGES:
The formation of stone pockets or mortar pondages in corners and against faces of forms
shall not be permitted. Should these occur, they shall be dug out, reformed and refilled to
sufficient depth and shape for thorough bonding, as directed by ENGINEER.
16.5 PLACING CONCRETE THROUGH REINFORCING STEEL:
When placing concrete through reinforcing steel, care shall be taken to prevent segregation
of the coarse aggregate. Where the congestion of steel makes placing difficult, it may be

Page 36 of 185 Seal & Signature of Tenderer
necessary to temporarily move the top steel aside to get proper placement and restore
reinforcing steel to design position.
16.6 BLEEDING:
Should bleeding of free water on top of concrete being placed into the form occur, the
conditions causing this defect shall be corrected before further concreting is resumed.
17.0 CONSTRUCTION JOINTS AND KEYS:
17.1 Concrete shall be placed without interruption until completion of the part of the work
between predetermined construction joints, as specified hereinafter. Time lapse between
the pouring of adjoining units shall be as specified on the drawings or as directed by
ENGINEER.
17.2 If stopping of concreting become unavoidable anywhere, a properly formed construction
joint shall be made where the work is stopped. Joint shall be either vertical or horizontal
unless otherwise shown on drawings. In case of an inclined or curved member, the joint
shall be at the right angles to the axis of the member. Vertical joints in walls shall be kept to
a minimum. Vertical joints shall be formed against a stop board; horizontal joints shall be
level and wherever possible, arranged so that the joint lines coincide with the architectural
features of the finished work. Battens shall be nailed to the form work to ensure a
horizontal line, and if directed, shall also be used to form a grooved joint. For water storage
tank walls and similar work, joints shall be formed as per IS: 3370. Concrete that is in the
process of setting shall not be disturbed or shaken by traffic either on the concrete itself or
upon the shuttering. Horizontal and vertical construction joints and shear keys shall be
located and shall conform in detail to the requirements of plans, unless otherwise directed
by ENGINEER. Where not described, the joint shall be in accordance with the following:
17.2.1 COLUMN JOINTS:
In a column, the joint shall be formed 75 mm below the lowest soffit of the beams includinghaunches, if any. In flat slab construction, the joint shall be 75 mm below the soffit of
column capital. At least 2 hours shall elapse after depositing concrete in columns, piers or
walls, before depositing in beams, girders or slabs supported thereon.
17.2.2 BEAM AND SLAB JOINTS:
Concrete in a beam/girder shall be placed throughout without a joint, however, if provision
of a joint is unavoidable, the joint shall be vertical and between quarter and third points of
the spans unless otherwise shown on drawings. Where a beam intersects a girder, the joint
in the girder shall be offset a distance equal to twice the width of the beam and additional
reinforcement provided for shear, if required. the joints shall be vertical throughout the full

and loose stones shall be thoroughly and carefully removed by wire brushing/hacking and
surface washed. Just before concreting is resumed, the roughened joint surface shall be
thoroughly cleaned and loose matter removed and then treated with a thin layer of cement
grout of proportion specified by ENGINEER and worked well into the surface. The newconcrete shall be well worked against the prepared surface before the grout mortar sets.
Special care shall be taken to obtain thorough compaction and to avoid segregation of the
concrete along the joints/plane.
19.0 CURING, PROTECTING, REPAIRING AND FINISHING:
19.1 CURING:
All concrete shall be cured by keeping it continuously damp for the period of time required
for complete hydration and hardening to take place. Preference shall be given to the use ofcontinuous sprays, or ponded water, continuously saturated covering of sacking, canvas,
hessians or other absorbent materials, or approved effective curing compounds applied
with spraying equipment capable of producing a smooth, even-textured coat. Extra
precautions shall be excercised in curing concrete during cold and hot weather as outlined
hereinafter. The quality of curing water shall be the same as that used for mixing concrete.
19.2 CURING WITH WATER:
Fresh concrete shall be kept continuously wet for a minimum period of 10 days from the
date of placing of concrete, following a lapse of 12 to 14 hours after laying concrete. The

UNDER CAPACITY AUGMENTATION PROJECT
MUMBAI-PUNE-SOLAPUR PIPELEINE
Page 38 of 185 Seal & Signature of Tenderer
curing of horizontal surface exposed to the drying winds shall however begin immediately
after the concrete surface within 1 hour after concrete has set. Water shall be applied to
formed surface immediately upon the removal of forms. Quantity of water applied shall becontrolled so as the prevent erosion of freshly placed concrete.
19.3 CONTINUOUS SPRAYING:
Curing shall be assured by use of an ample water supply under pressure in pipes, with all
necessary appliance of hose, sprinkle and spraying devices. Continuous fine mist spraying or
sprinkling shall be used, unless otherwise specified or approved by ENGINEER.
19.4 CURING EQUIPMENT:
All equipment and materials required for curing shall be on hand and ready for use before
concrete is placed.
20.0 PROTECTING FRESH CONCRETE:
Fresh concrete shall be protected from the element, from defacement & damage due to
construction operations by leaving forms in place for an ample period as specified later in
this specification. Newly placed concrete shall be protected by approved means such as
tarpaulins from rain, sun & winds. Steps as approved by ENGINEER shall also taken to
protect green concrete from damage by debris, excessive loading, vibration abrasion orcontact with other materials, etc. that may impair the strength and/or durability of the
concrete. Workmen shall be warned against and prevented from disturbing green concrete
during its setting period. If it is necessary that workman enter the area of freshly placed
concrete, ENGINEER may required that bridges be placed over the area.
21.0 REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF UNSATISFACTORY CONCRETE:
21.1 Immediately after the shuttering is removed, the surface of concrete shall be very carefully
gone over and all defective areas called to the attention of ENGINEER who may permit
patching of the defective areas, by CONTRACTOR, or also reject the concrete unit, either
partially or in its entirety, at no additional expenses to OWNER. Holes left by form bolts, etc.
shall be filled up and made good with mortar composed of one part of cement to one and
half parts of sand passing 2.36 mm I.S. sieve after removing any loose stones adhering to
the concrete. Mortar filling shall be struck off flush at the face of the concrete. Concrete
surfaces shall be finished as described under the relevant items of work.
21.2 Superficial honeycombed surfaces and rough patches shall similarly be made good
immediately after removal on shuttering, in the presence of ENGINEER and superficial water
and air holes shall be filled in. The mortar shall be well worked into the surface with a
wooden float. Excess water shall be well worked into the surface with a wooden float.

UNDER CAPACITY AUGMENTATION PROJECT
MUMBAI-PUNE-SOLAPUR PIPELEINE
Page 39 of 185 Seal & Signature of Tenderer
Excess water shall be avoided. Unless instructed otherwise by ENGINEER, the surface of the
exposed concrete placed against shuttering shall be rubbed down immediately removal of
shuttering to remove the fine or other irregularities, care being taken to avoid damage tothe surface. Surface irregularities shall be removed by grinding.
21.3 If reinforcement is exposed or honeycombing occurs at vulnerable positions, e.g. ends of
beams or columns, it may be necessary to cut out the member completely or in part and
reconstruct. The decision of ENGINEER shall be final in this regard. If only patching is
necessary, the defective concrete shall cut out till sound concrete is reached (or to a
minimum depth of 25 mm) the edges being cut perpendicular to the affected surface or
with small undercut, if possible. Anchors, tees or dovetail slots shall be provided, whenever
necessary, to attach the new concrete securely in place. An area extending severalcentimetres beyond the edges and the surface of the repaired voids shall be saturated with
water for 24 hours immediately before the patching material is placed.
21.4 USE OF EPOXY:
The use of epoxy for bonding fresh concrete used for repairs will be permitted upon written
approval of ENGINEER. Epoxies shall be applied in strict accordance with the instructions of
the manufacturer.
21.5 METHOD OF REPAIR:
Small size holes having surface dimensions about equal to the depth of hole, holes left after
removal of form bolts, grout insert holds and slots cut for repair of cracks shall be repaired
as follows. The hole to be patched shall be roughened and thoroughly soaked with clean
water until absorption stops.
A 5 mm thick layer of grout of equal parts of cement and sand shall be well brushed into the
surface to be patched, followed immediately by the patching concrete which shall be well
consolidated with a wooden float & felt slightly protruding of the surrounding surface. The
concrete shall be built up in 10 mm thick layers. After an hour or more, depending upon
weather conditions, it shall be worked off flush with a wooden float and a smooth finish
obtained by wiping with hessian, using a steel trowel for this purpose. The mix for patching
shall be of the same materials and in the same proportion as that used in the concrete
being repaired although reduction in the maximum size of the coarse aggregates may be
necessary and the mix shall be kept as dry as possible, as directed by ENGINEER.
Mortar filling by air pressure (grouting) shall be used for repair of areas too large and/or too
shallow for patching with mortar. Patched surfaces shall be given a final treatment to match
the colour and textures of the surrounding concrete. White cement shall be substituted forordinary cement, if so directed by ENGINEER, so match the shade of patch with the original

bottom of timber props, but not at both ends, to facilitate vertical adjustment or
dismantling of the formwork.
22.2 DESIGN OF FORMWORK:
The design and engineering of the formwork as well as its construction shall be theresponsibility of CONTRACTOR. If so instructed, the drawings and/or calculations for the
design of the formwork shall be submitted to ENGINEER for approval before proceeding
with work, at no extra cost to OWNER. ENGINEER's approval shall not, however, absolve the
CONTRACTOR of his full responsibility for the design and construction of the formwork. The
design shall take into account all the loads, vertical as well as lateral, that the form would be
carrying, including live and vibration loadings.
22.3 TOLERANCES:
Tolerance is a specified permissible variation from lines, grades or dimensions given on

5.3 Thickness :
The thickness of floor shall be as specified in the description of the item.
5.4.1 Laying :
Panels : Flooring of specified thickness shall be laid in the pattern as given in the drawings
or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. The border shall have mitred joints at the corners
of the room and intermediate joints shall be in straight line with the panel joints. The
panels shall be of uniform size and no dimension of a panel shall exceed 2 m and the area of
a panel shall not be more than 2 sq m.
Laying with Strips : Normally cement concrete flooring shall be laid in one operation using
glass/plain asbestos sheet strips at the junction of two panels. This method ensures
uniformity in colour of all the panels and straightness at the junction of the panels.
Strips Fixing : 4 mm thick glass strips or 5 mm thick plain asbestos sheet/strips shall be fixed
with their top at proper level, giving required slopes.
Concreting : Cement concrete shall be placed in position, in one operation, in the panels. It
shall then be levelled with the help of straight edge and trowel and beaten with a wooden
"Thappy" or mason's trowel. The blows shall be fairly heavy in the begining but as
consolidation takes place, light rapid strokes shall be given. Beating shall cease as soon asthe surface is found covered with cream of mortar. The surface shall be tested with straight
edge and made true to required slopes. While laying concrete care shall be taken to see
that the strips are not damaged disturbed by the labourers. The top of strips shall be visible
clearly after finishing with cement slurry.
5.4. Laying without Strips:
Laying of cement concrete flooring in alternate panels may be allowed by Engineer-in-
Charge in case strips are not to be provide.
Shuttering : The panels shall be bounded by wooden angle iron battens. The battens shall
have the same depth as the concrete flooring. These shall be fixed in position, with their
top at proper level, giving required slopes. The surface of the battens of flats, to come in
contact with concrete shall be smeared with soap solution or non-sticking oil (Foam oil or
raw linseed oil) before concreting. The flooring shall be against the masonry wall, which
shall not be plastered.
Concreting The concreting shall be done in the manner described under Group - 2. The
battens used for shuttering, shall be removed on the next day of the laying of cementconcrete. The ends thus exposed shall be repaired, if damaged, with cement mortar 1:2 (1

panels shall then be cleaned of dust, mortar droppings etc. and concrete laid. While laying
concrete, care shall be taken to see that the edges of the previously laid panels are notdamaged and fresh mortar is not splashed over them. The points between the panels
should come out as fine and as straight lines.
5.5 Finishing :
The finishing of the surface shall follow immediately after the cessation of beating. The
surface shall be left for some time, till moisture disappears from it. Excessive trowelling
shall be avoided. Use of dry cement or cement and sand mixture sprinkled on the surface
to stiffen the concrete or absorb excessive moisture, shall not be permitted.
Fresh quantity of cement at 2.0 Kg of cement shall be mixed with water to form a thick
slurry and spread over an area of one sq m of flooring while the concrete still green. The
cement slurry shall then be properly pressed and finished smooth.
The edge of sunk floors shall be finished and rounded with cement mortar 1:2 (1 cement : 2
coarse sand) and finished with a floating coat of neat cement.
The junctions of floor with wall plaster, dado, skirting shall be rounded off where so
specified.3.5.5The men engaged on finishing operations shall be provided with raised
wooden platform to sit on, so as to prevent damage to new work.
5.6 Curing :

until the top layer has hardened. Covering with empty cement gunnies shall be avoided as
the colour is likely to be bleached with the remnants of cement matter from the bags.
5.7 Precautions :
Flooring in lavatories and bath rooms shall be laid after living of water closet and squattingpans and floor traps. Traps shall be plugged, while laying the floors and opened after the
floors are cured and cleaned. Any damage done to W.C's squatting pans and floor traps
during the execution of work shall be made good.
During cold weather, concreting shall not be done when the temperature falls below 4
Deg.C. The concrete placed shall be protected against frost by suitable coverings. Concrete
damaged by frost shall be removed and work redone. During hot weather, precautions
shall be taken to see that the temperature of wet concrete does not exceed 38 Deg.C. No
