satisfaction of the Owner and from time to time deliver the same to
such person or persons as the Owner may from time to time authorise
or appoint to receive the same.
7.
CLASSIFICATION
7.1
All materials to be excavated shall be classified by the Engineer, into

one of the following classes and shall be paid for at the rate tendered
for that particular class of material. No distinction shall be made
whether the material is dry, moist or wet. The decision of the Engineer
regarding the classification of the material shall be final and binding on
the Contractor and not be a subject matter of any appeal or arbitration.
7.2
Any earthwork will be classified under any of the following categories:

(a) Ordinary and Hard Soils
These shall include all kinds of soils containing kankar, sand, silt,
murrum and/or shingle, gravel, clay, loam, peat, ash, shale, etc., which
can generally be excavated by spade, pick axes and shovel, and which
is not classified under "Soft and Decomposed Rock" and "Hard Rock"
defined below. This shall also include embedded rock boulders not
longer than 1 metre in any one direction and not more than 200 mm in
any one of the other two directions.
(b) Soft and Decomposed Rock
This shall include rock, boulders, slag, chalk, slate, hard micaschist,
laetrile and all other materials which in the opinion of Engineer is rock,
but does not need blasting and could be removed with picks, hammer,
crow bars, wedges, and pneumatic breaking equipment. The mere fact

that the Contractor resorts to blasting for reasons of his own, shall not
qualify for classification under 'Hard Rock'.
This shall also include excavation in macadam and tarred roads and
pavements. This shall also include rock boulders not longer than
1 metre in any direction and not more than 500 mm in any one of the
other two directions. Masonry to be dismantled will also be measured
under this item.
(c) Hard Rock
This shall include all rock occurring in large continuous masses which
cannot be removed except by blasting for loosening it. Harder varieties
of rock with or without veins and secondary minerals which, in the
opinion of the Engineer require blasting shall be considered as hard
rock. Boulders of rock occurring in such sizes and not classified under
(a) and (b) above shall also be classified as hard rock. Concrete work
both reinforced and unreinforced to be dismantled will be measured
under this item, unless a separate provision is made in the Schedule of
Quantities.
8.
EXCAVATION
8.1
All excavation work shall be carried out by mechanical equipment

unless, in the opinion of the Engineer, the work involved and time
schedule permit manual work.
8.2
Excavation for permanent work shall be taken out to such widths,

lengths, depths and profiles as are shown on the drawings or such
other lines and grades as may be specified by the Engineer. Rough
excavation shall be carried out to a depth 150 mm above the final level.
The balance shall be excavated with special care. Soft pockets shall
be removed even below the final level and extra excavation filled up as
directed by the Engineer. The final excavation if so instructed by the
Engineer, should be carried out just prior to laying the mud-mat.
8.3
The Contractor may, for facility of work or similar other reasons

excavate, and also backfill later, if so approved by the Engineer, at his
own cost outside the lines shown on the drawings or directed by the
Engineer. Should any excavation be taken below the specified
elevations, the Contractor shall fill it up, with concrete of the same
class as in the foundation resting thereon, upto the required elevation.
No extra shall be claimed by the Contractor on this account.
8.4
All excavation shall be done to the minimum dimensions as required for

safety and working facility. Prior approval of the Engineer shall be
obtained by the Contractor in each individual case, for the method he
proposes to adopt for the excavation, including dimensions, side

slopes, dewatering, disposal, etc. This approval, however, shall not in

any way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for any consequent
loss or damage. The excavation must be carried out in the most
expeditious and efficient manner. Side slopes shall be as steep as will
stand safely for the actual soil conditions encountered.
Every
precaution shall be taken to prevent slips. Should slips occur, the
slipped material shall be removed and the slope dressed to a modified
stable slope. Removal of the slipped earth will not be paid for if the
slips are due to the negligenc e of the Contractor.
8.5
Excavation shall be carried out with such tools, tackles and equipment
as described hereinbefore. Blasting or other methods may be resorted
to in the case of hard rock; however not without the specific permission
of the Engineer.
8.6
The Engineer may also direct that in some extreme case, the rock may
be excavated by heating and sudden quenching for splitting the rock.
Fire-wood shall be used for burning and payment shall be made for
such work as called for in the schedule of quantities.
9.
STRIPPING LOOSE ROCK
9.1
All loose boulders, semi detached rocks (along with earthy stuff which
might move therewith) not directly in the excavation but so close to the
area to be excavated as to be liable, in the opinion of the Engineer, to
fall or otherwise endanger the workmen, equipment, or the work, etc.,
shall be stripped off and removed away from the area of the
excavation. The method used shall be such as not to shatter, or render
unstable or unsafe the portion which was originally sound and safe.
9.2
Any material not requiring removal as contemplated in the work, but

which, in the opinion of the Engineer, is likely to become loose or
unstable later, shall also be promptly and satisfactorily removed as
directed by the Engineer. The cost of such stripping will be paid for at
the unit rates accepted for the class of materials in question.
10.
FILL, BACK FILLING AND SITE GRADING
10.1
General
All fill material will be subject to the Engineer's approval. If any
material is rejected by the Engineer, the Contractor shall remove the
same forthwith from the site at no extra cost to the Owner. Surplus fill
material shall be deposited/ disposed off as directed by the Engineer
after the fill work is completed.

No earthfill shall commence until surface water discharges and streams

have been properly intercepted or otherwise dealt with as directed by
the Engineer.
10.2
Material
To the extent available, selected surplus soils from excavated materials
shall be used as backfill. Fill material shall be free from clods, salts,
sulphates, organic or other foreign material. All clods of earth shall be
broken or removed. Where excavated material is mostly rock, the
boulders shall be broken into pieces not larger than 150 mm size,
mixed with properly graded fine material consisting of murrum or earth
to fill up the voids and the mixture used for filling.
10.3
If any selected fill material is required to be borrowed, the Contractor

shall make arrangements for bringing such material from outside
borrow pits. The material and source shall be subject to prior approval
of the Engineer. The approved borrow pit area shall be cleared of all
bushed, roots of trees, plants, rubbish etc. top soil containing salts/
sulphate and other foreign material shall be removed. The materials so
removed shall be burnt or disposed off as directed by the Engineer.
The Contractor shall make necessary access roads to borrow areas
and maintain the same, if such access road does not exist, at his cost.
10.4
Filling in pits and trenches around foundations of structures,walls

etc.
As soon as the work in foundations has been accepted and measured,
the spaces around the foundations, structures, pits, trenches etc. shall
be cleared of all debris, and filled with earth in layers not exceeding 15
cm., each layer being watered, rammed and properly consolidated,
before the succeeding one is laid. Each layer shall be consolidated to
the satisfaction of the Engineer. Earth shall be rammed with approved
mechanical compaction machines. Usually no manual compaction
shall be allowed unless the Engineer is satisfied that in some cases
manual compaction by tampers cannot be avoided. The final backfill
surface shall be trimmed and levelled to proper profile as directed by
the Engineer or indicated on the drawings.
10.5
Plinth filling
Plinth filling shall be carried out with approved material as described
hereinbefore in layers not exceeding 15 cm, watered and compacted
with mechanical compaction machines. The Engineer may however
permit manual compaction by hand tampers in case he is satisfied that
mechanical compaction is not possible. When filling reaches the
finished level, the surface shall be flooded with water, unless otherwise
directed, for at least 24 hours allowed to dry and then the surface again

compacted as specified above to avoid settlements at a later stage.

The finished level of the filling shall be trimmed to the level/ slope
specified.
Where specified in the schedule of works, compaction of the plinth fill
shall be carried out by means of 12 tonne rollers smooth wheeled,
sheep-foot or wobbly wheeled rollers. In case of compaction of
granular material such as sands and gravel, vibratory rollers shall be
used. A smaller weight roller may be used only if permitted by the
Engineer. As rolling proceeds water sprinkling shall be done to assist
consolidation. Water shall not be sprinkled in case of sandy fill.
The thickness of each unconsolidated fill layer can in this case be upto
a maximum of 300 mm. The Engineer will determine the thickness of
the layers in which fill has to be consolidated depending on the fill
material and equipment used.
Rolling shall commence from the outer edge and progress towards the
centre and continue until compaction is to the satisfaction of the
Engineer, but in no case less than 10 passes of the roller will be
accepted for each layer.
The compacted surface shall be properly shaped, trimmed and
consolidated to an even and uniform gradient. All soft spots shall be
excavated and filled and consolidated.
At some locations/ areas it may not be possible to use rollers because
of space restrictions etc. The Contractor shall then be permitted to use
pneumatic tampers, rammers etc. and he shall ensure proper
compaction.
10.6
Sand filling in plinth and other places

At places backfilling shall be carried out with local sand if directed by
the Engineer. The sand used shall be clean, medium grained and free
from impurities. The filled-in-sand shall be kept flooded with water for
24 hours to ensure maximum consolidation. Any temporary work
required to contain sand under flooded condition shall be to the
Contractor's account. The surface of the consolidated sand shall be
dressed to required level or slope. Construction of floors or other
structures on sand fill shall not be started until the Engineer has
inspected and approved the fill.
10.7
Filling in trenches
Filling in trenches for pipes and drains shall be commenced as soon as
the joints of pipes and drains have been tested and passed. The
backfilling material shall be properly consolidated by watering and
ramming, taking due care that no damage is caused to the pipes.

Where the trenches are excavated in soil, the filling from the bottom of
the trench to the level of the centreline of the pipe shall be done by
hand compaction with selected approved earth in layers not exceeding

done with selected earth by hand compaction or other approved means
in layers not exceeding 15 cm.
In case of excavation of trenches in rock, the filling upto a level 30 cm.
above the top of the pipe shall be done with fine materials, such as
earth, murrum etc. The filling up of the level of the centreline of the
pipe shall be done by hand compaction in layers not exceeding 8 cm.
where as the filling above the centreline of the pipe shall be done by
hand compaction or approved means in layers not exceeding 15 cm.
The filling from a level 30 cm. above the top of the pipe to the top of the
trench shall be done by hand or other approved mechanical methods
with broken rock filling of size not exceeding 15 cm mixed with fine
material as available to fill up the voids.
Filling of the trenches shall be carried simultaneously on both sides of
the pipe to avoid unequal pressure on the pipe.
11.
GENERAL SITE GRADING
11.1
Site grading shall be carried out as indicated in the drawings and as

directed by the Engineer. Excavation shall be carried out as specified
in the specification. Filling and compaction shall be carried out as
specified under Clause 10.0 and elsewhere unless otherwise indicated
below.
11.2
If no compaction is called for, the fill may be deposited to the full height
in one operation and levelled. If the fill has to be compacted, it shall be
placed in layers not exceeding 225 mm and levelled uniformly and
compacted as indicated in Clause 10.0 before the next layer is
deposited.
11.3
To ensure that the fill has been compacted as specified, field and
laboratory tests shall be carried out by the Contractor at his cost.
11.4
Field compaction test shall be carried out at different stages of filling

and also after the fill to the entire height has been completed. This
shall hold good for embankments as well.
11.5
The Contractor shall protect the earthfill from being washed away by
rain damaged in any other way. Should any slip occur, the Contractor
shall remove the affected material and make good the slip at his cost.
11.6
The fill shall be carried out to such dimensions and levels as indicated
on the drawings after the stipulated compaction. The fill will be

considered as incomplete if the desired compaction has not been

obtained.
11.7
If specifically permitted by the Engineer, compaction can be obtained

by allowing loaded trucks conveying fill or other material to ply over the
fill area. Even if such a method is permitted, it will be for the Contractor
to demonstrate that the desired/ specified compaction has been
obtained. In order that the fill may be reasonably uniform throughout,
the material should be dumped in place in approximately uniform
layers. Traffic over the fill shall then be so routed to compact the area
uniformly throughout.
11.8
If so specified, the rock as obtained from excavation may be used for

filling and levelling to indicated grades without further breaking. In such
an event, filling shall be done in layers not exceeding 50 cms
approximately. After rock filling to the approximate level, indicated
above has been carried out, the void in the rocks shall be filled with
finer materials such as earth, broken stone, etc. and the area flooded
so that the finer materials fill up the voids. Care shall be taken to
ensure that the finer fill material does not get washed out. Over the
layer so filled, a 100 mm thick mixed layer of broken material and earth
shall be laid and consolidation carried out by a 12 tonne roller. No less
than twelve passes of the roller shall be accepted before subsequent
similar operations are taken up.
12.
FILL DENSITY
12.1
The compaction, only where so called for, in the schedule of quantities/

items shall comply with the specified (Standard Proctor/ Modified
Proctor) density at moisture content differing not more than 4 percent
from the optimum moisture content. The Contractor shall demonstrate
adequately at his cost, by field and laboratory tests that the specified
density has been obtained.
13.
LEAD
13.1
Lead for deposition/ disposal of excavated material, shall be as

specified in the respective item of work.
For the purpose of
measurement of lead, the area to be excavated or filled or area on
which excavated material is to be deposited/ disposed off shall be
divided into suitable blocks and for each of the blocks, the distance
between centrelines shall be taken as the lead which shall be
measured by the shortest straight line route on the plan and not the
actual route taken by the Contractor. No extra compensation is
admissible on the grounds that the lead including that for borrowed
material had to be transported over marshy or 'katcha' land/ route.

MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
14.1
All excavation shall be measured nett. Dimensions for purpose of

payment shall be reckoned on the horizontal area of the excavation 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.
Excavation in side slopes will not be paid for. The 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 or excavation.
Reasonable working space, beyond concrete dimensions and
shuttering where considered necessary in the opinion of the Engineer
will be allowed in excavation and considered for payment. However, if
concreting is proposed against the excavated sides, no such overexcavation will be permitted. In such cases over-excavation shall be
made good by the Contractor with concrete of the same class as in the
foundations at his cost.
14.2
Unless otherwise specified, the unit rates quoted for excavation in

different types of material shall also account for a basic lead of 100
metres for disposal as specified or directed. Only leads beyond the
basic lead of 100 metres will be considered as extra lead and paid for
at the rates quoted in the schedules.
14.3
Backfilling as per specification 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 the rate quoted for excavation including backfilling shall include
stacking of excavated material as directed, excavation/ packing of
selected stacked material, conveying it to the place of final backfill,
compaction etc. as specified. As a rule material to be backfield shall
be stacked temporarily within the basic lead of 100 metres unless
otherwise directed by the Engineer. If the Engineer directs/ permits a
lead of over 100 metres for such material, the conveyance of the
material for the extra distance over the basic lead of 100 metres for
backfilling will be paid for.
14.4
Payment for fill inside trenches, plinth or similar filling with selected
excavated material will be made for only compaction as specified/
directed. Cost of all other operations shall be deemed to have been
covered in the rate quoted for excavation. Payment for this work will
be made based on measurement of plinth/ trench dimensions filled.
The plinth ground levels shall be surveyed before hand for this
purpose. If no compaction is specified/ desired such filling will not be
separately paid for. In such a event the fill shall be levelled/ finished to
the profile as directed at no extra cost.

SPECIFICATION FOR
TIMBER SHORING
SHEET 1 OF 2
SCOPE
This specification covers the general requirements of timber shoring for
excavation of trenches, pits, open excavations etc.
2.0
Close timbering shall be done by completely covering the sides of the trenches
and pits generally with short, upright members called 'polling boards'. These shall
be of minimum 25 cm x 4 cm sections or as directed by Engineer. The boards
shall generally be placed in position vertically side by side without any gap on
each side of the excavation and shall be secured by horizontal walings of strong
wood at maximum 1.2 metres spacings, strutted with ballies or as directed by
Engineer. The length of the ballie struts shall depend on the width of the trench or
pit. If the soil is very soft and loose, the boards shall be placed horizontally
against each side of the excavation and supported by vertical walings, which in
turn shall be suitably strutted. The lowest boards supporting the sides shall be
taken into the ground and no portion of the vertical side of the trench or pit shall
remain exposed, so as to render the earth liable to slip out.
2.1
Timber shoring shall be 'close' or 'open' type, depending on the nature of soil and
the depth of pit or trench. The type of timbering shall be as approved by
Engineer. It shall be the responsibility of Contractor to take all necessary steps to
prevent the sides of excavations, trenches, pits, etc., from collapsing.
2.2
Timber shoring may be required to keep the sides of excavations vertical to

ensure safety of adjoining structures or to limit the slope of excavations, or due to
space restrictions or for other reasons. Such shoring shall be carried out, except
in an emergency, only under instructions from Engineer.
2.3
The withdrawal of the timber shall be done very carefully to prevent the collapse
of the pit or trench. It shall be started at one end and proceeded with
systematically to the other end. Concrete or masonry shall not be damaged
during the removal of the timber. No claim shall be entertained for any timber
which cannot be withdrawn and is lost or buried.
2.4
In the case of open timbering, the entire surface of the side of trench or pit in not
required to be covered. The vertical boards of minimum 25 cm x 4 cm sections
shall be spaced sufficiently apart to leave unsupported strips of maximum 50 cm
average width. The detailed arrangement, sizes of the timber and the spacings
shall be subject to the approval of Engineer. In all other respects, specification for
close timbering shall apply to open timbering.
2.5
In case of large pits and open excavations, where shoring is required for securing
safety of adjoining structures or for any other reasons and where the planking for
sides of excavations/pits cannot be strutted against, suitable inclined struts
supported on the excavated bed shall be provided. Load from such struts shall be
suitably distributed on the bed to ensure no yielding of the strut. If, however,
Engineer directs any timbering to be left-in, keeping in mind the type of
construction or any other factor, Contractor shall be paid for at the scheduled
item-rate for such left-in timbering.

12.3.2 Concreting
a)
Particular attention must be given to concrete placement because of the thin

wall section and the presence of reinforcing steel. Compaction of concrete
shall be by vibration.
b)
Under no circumstances shall the point of discharge of the concrete into the
forms be more than 1.5 m above the concrete surface on which it is to be
deposited. Also, not more than 2 metres height of chimney shall be concreted
on any one day if permission is given to proceed with jump forms.
c)
Concrete in the shell shall be poured in about 200 mm layers uniformly. The
concrete in each lift (where jump form is used) shall be laid in one continuous
operation for the full circumference of the shell so that there will be no vertical
or inclined construction joints. Horizontal construction joints shall be
maintained at uniform spacing throughout the height of the chimney.
d)
If the ENGINEER so requires, the CONTRACTOR shall make immediate

arrangements, through an approved agency, to undertake ultrasonic tests to
prove the quality of concrete. The quality of concrete shall be considered as
satisfactory if it meets specification requirements and the sonic velocity is
atleast 4000 m/s. If the tests prove that the quality of concrete is not
satisfactory, then all costs associated with the tests and any rectification shall
be borne by the CONTRACTOR.
e)
The interior and exterior surfaces of the shell shall be kept moist for 14 days
after exposure from the forms as the chimney construction progresses
upwards. For this purpose, circumferential perforated pipes shall be hung
from immediately below the forms and raised along with them.
f)
The vibrator needle size should normally be 62 mm dia, however the size
shall be restricted to 37 mm dia for sections wherein the use of 62 mm dia
needle size vibrators are not amenable to use. Standby vibrator units shall be
maintained on top of the working deck at all times during the slipforming
operation.
g)
The vibrator poker shall only be lowered into the concrete to a depth
corresponding to the height of the last placed layer of concrete. During the
first pouring, when the forms are empty, vibration should be avoided or
carried out with utmost care in order to prevent bending of the yokes.
To achieve good bond between the foundation and the first lift of the shell, or
at horizontal joints caused by interruptions to sliding, an initial layer of rich
mix cement/sand slurry of 1:1 proportion shall be placed.
h)
The slipping rate of the forms shall be such that the concrete, when exposed
has already achieved enough strength to support the vertical pressure from
the concrete still in the forms as well as to withstand lateral pressure caused
ISSUE
P0
TCE FORM NO. 329 R4

TITLE
SECTION : D6
SHEET 24 OF 40

by wind, inclination of walls, etc. The slipping rate shall be limited to
200mm/hour.
i)
Small openings and pockets less than 600 x 300 mm can be formed by
inserting blocks. Larger openings shall be formed using frames which shall
be formed well in advance of the sliding. All frames, blocks, bolts, tubes, etc.,
must be 12-15 mm narrower than the nominal wall thickness to allow for form
taper. When jacking rods unavoidably have to pass through openings more
than 600 mm high, the jacking rods must be braced laterally against buckling.
12.3.3 Physical Checks

Some of the mandatory physical checks to ensure that construction tolerances are
met with shall be carried out by the CONTRACTOR, as under :
a)
The twist or rotation of the slipform every 60 minutes.
b)
c)
Level of top of jacks every thirty minutes.

Verticality with the help of lasers atlease once in four hours.
d)
Inside and outside diameters/dimensions and wall thickness, once in each

shift of 8 hours.
e)
Level of top of form panels once initially and subsequently after each
interruption.
f)
Level of working platforms once initially and subsequently after each

interruption.
g)
Batter of the form panels and yoke legs once on erection and subsequently
after each interruption.
h)
Condition of jack rods for ovality, indentation, buckling, moving out of

alignment, etc., before fixing each rod.
i)
Bracing of jack rods passing through openings.
j)
Live load on working deck to avoid accidental overloads.
k)
Workability of concrete at mixer and at point of placement, once an hour.
l)
Temperature of concrete, once in 4 hours.

to heating.
3.3.3
Sand Blasting And Shot Blasting
3.3.3.1 Sand/shot blasting shall be resorted to only after removal of grease, oil and
other contaminants. The work shall be carried out by impinging under
pressure of air, a jet of sharp sand or granulated steel (steel grits) on to the
metal surface. The process shall ensure complete removal of rust and firmly
adhering mill scale. Special care shall be taken on weld areas to remove flux
and spatter. Blasting shall ensure an even colour of the surface and the
surface shall have silver grey colour. Precautions shall be taken when sand
or shot blasting of light gauge steel surfaces to ensure that buckling does not
occur to continuous impingement of sand or steel shots under high velocity.
3.3.3.2 Sand/shot blasting shall be adopted for structures which are exposed to
corrosive conditions for which superior paint protection is to be adopted. The
finished surfaces shall conform to the requirements of Sa 2 or Sa 3 as per
Swedish Standard SIS-05-5900 as specified in the item of work.

Application of finishing paints shall be carried out within the shortest possible
time interval after primer since the primer coats are too thin to give adequate
corrosion protection to the steel surface over a long duration.
5.11
Filler coats shall be applied to fill dents and to obtain a smooth finish
wherever necessary. Only factory prepared filler suitable for steel work shall
be used. Fillers prepared by whiting and linseed oil by craftsmen at site shall
never be used as such fillers may be unbalanced and incompatible with
primer and finishing coats. Application of filler shall be done with good `putty
knife' and necessary skill. Filler applied shall be just sufficient to fill the
depression or unevenness and it shall be restricted to the minimum. It shall
be applied in thin layers. In filling depression or unevenness, due as many
coats as are necessary may be applied allowing each layer to dry hard. The
hardened coat shall be cut down by wet rubbing before the subsequent coat
is applied. Where necessary, filler coats shall be applied over the undercoats
also.
5.12
Painting shall be carried out either by brushing or by spraying.

CONTRACTOR shall procure the appropriate quality of paint for this purpose
as recommended by the manufacturer.
5.13
After the second coat of primer is hard dry, the entire surface shall be wet
rubbed cutting down to a smooth uniform surface. When the surface
becomes dry, the undercoat of paint of optimum thickness shall be applied
by brushing/spraying with minimum of brush marks. The coat shall be
allowed to hard-dry. The under coat shall then be wet rubbed cutting down to
a smooth finish, taking adequate care to ensure that at no place the
undercoat is completely removed. The surface shall then be allowed to dry.
5.14
The first finishing coat of paint shall be applied by brushing or by spraying

and allowed to hard-dry. The gloss from the entire surface shall then be
gently removed and the surface dusted off. The second finishing coat shall
