6.2.4 DELAY EXTENSIONS :

a) The Contractor may sometimes be restricted from working due to delays caused
by the Company operational reasons, Inspection of existing tank conditions, any
other reasons/Company requirements or inclement weather and the like.
Superintendent shall be the sole judge as to whether the weather is sufficiently
inclement to have the work stopped.
b) In case of such delay getting rectified within two hours no time extension will be
allowed.
 c) If the Contractor is completely prevented from working due to such delays for
more than two continuous hours of the working day then the Contractor has to
notify the Company representative within 24 hours in writing of such delay.
The Contractor will be allowed time extension for equal period.
d) If such a delay exceeds four hours of the working day then an extension of one
working- day will be granted against each working day during which such delay
occurred.
e) In all above cases, all waiting times incurred shall be solely at the cost of the
Contractor and the Company shall not pay any compensation at all for the idling of
his manpower/equipment (except as allowed in Clause No. 4.6 (b) of Part-II,
Exhibit-A).
6.3 COMPLETION PERIODS FOR TANK REPAIR,
FIBREGLASSING & PAINTING WORKS
6.3.1 COMPLETION PERIODS-CALCULATION BASIS FOR EACH TANK
The completion time for each tank will be determined individually, based on the tank
diameter for complete re-bottoming, re-roofing or on the area basis for patch work on
shell, roof and tank bottom, fiberglass lining and painting of tank etc., the higher
figures (only one figure from each group) from each of the following applicable
group will be added together to conclude the total completion period and this shall not
be less than five (5) days besides the mobilization period. Completion period for
Group-V Activities (Miscellaneous) will be independent and will be added to the
completion period calculated for the other Groups.
Completion time includes all inspection, testing, scaffolding and hydrostatic testing as
required by Companys Inspection & Corrosion Division.
Sample Calculation for Completion Period :
Example 1: Fixed roof of 130' dia. needs following repair
work.
Activity
a) Re-bottoming (Complete new Bottom).

b) 120 sq.m. patching/repairing/partial replacement on shell course.

c) Full shell external painting.

d) Roof external painting.

e) Hydrostatic testing with 8000 M3 of water, with water hold up for four (4)
days during Inspection check and four (3) days for cleaning tank after
hydrotest.

Now based on Table 6.3.2 of the Specification

Completion time for activity (a) above is 45 days.

Completion time for activity (b) above is 15 days.

Completion time for activity (c),(e) and (d) above is 35 days.

Completion time for activity (e) above is (4+4+3) 11 days.

Computation of Total Completion Period

1. Activity (a) & (b) above is part of Group-I and the longer completion time
between the two is 45 days, hence Group-I activities will be given 45 days.

2. Activity (c) & (d) above is part of Group-IV and the longest completion time
between the two is 40 days, hence Group-IV activities will be given 35 days.

3. Activity (e) is only activity of Group-V, hence the same will be given 11 days.

Therefore, total completion time will be sum of Group-I, IV & V above i.e.
45+ 35 + 11 = 91 days besides mobilization time of 3 days.

Example 2: Floating roof of 180' dia. needs following repair work.

Activity
a) Complete re-roofing including all structural repair work if any.

b) Repair shell & bottom plates 480 sq.m.

c) Replacement of sealing system 150 m. long.

d) Repair of Fiberglass work 480 sq.m. (As per Technical Specification No. 5).

e) Full shell external painting.

f) Roof external painting.

g) Hydrostatic testing with 6000 M3 of water, with water hold up for two (2)
days during Inspection work and three (3) days for cleaning tank after
hydrotest.
Now based on Table 6.3.2 of the Specification
Completion time for activity (a) above is 755 days.

Completion time for activity (b) above is 60 days.

Completion time for activity (c) above is 8 days.

Completion time for activity (d) above is 10 days.

Completion time for activity (e) if above is 35 days.

Completion time for activity (f) above is 25 days.

 Completion time for activity (g) above is (3+2+3) = 8 days.

Computation of Total Completion Period

1. Activity (a) & (b) above is part of Group-I and the longest completion time
between the two is 75 days, hence Group-I activities will be given 75 days.
2. Activity (c) above is the only activity of Group-II, hence the same will be given 8
days.
3. Activity (d) is only activity of Group-III, hence the same will be given 10 days.
4. Activity (e) & (f) is part of Group-IV, and completion time between the two is 35
days.
5. Activity (g) is the only activity of Group-V, hence the same will be given 8 days.

Therefore, total completion time will be sum of Group-I to Group V above i.e. 75 +
8 + 10 + 35 + 8 = 136 days besides mobilization time of 7 days.
