OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PHASE1
TO Design, Build and Operate (DBO) of 45 MLD Capacity Tertiary Treatment Reverse Osmosis
(TTRO) Plant at Kodungaiyur including Supply and laying DI Transmission mains for conveyance of
Product water to various industries in Manali area, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Specifications pertaining to general civil works and the material requirements have been specified herewith. However the
specifications and the testing requirements shall be specified in accordance with the technology being selected by the
bidder and the detailed design submitted.
GENERAL
Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) has Sewage treatment plants in
Kodungaiyur, Koyambedu, Nesapakkam and Perungudi. The total capacity of these plants at present is 612
MLD and available as a source for alternate use. CMWSSB intend to install a 45 MLD capacity Tertiary
Treatment Reverse Osmosis Plant (TTROP) at Kodungaiyur, Chennai city, Tamilnadu, India in order to supply
the Tertiary treated water to the Industries in North Chennai. CMWSSB plans to reuse the sewage generated in
the city for Industrial applications thereby reducing the fresh water consumption by the industries operating in
the vicinity of the Chennai metro since there is no alternative reliable source of fresh water adjacent to the city.
This will provide a sustainable water source to the industry in the long run due to recycling of municipal waste
generated. At present CMWSSB is operating three STPs of capacities 80mld,80mld and 110mld at
Kodungaiyur. For the proposed TTRO plant it is proposed to utilize the secondary treated effluent of the
110mld STP. The 110mld STP was commissioned in August 2006 and is based on the conventional Activated
Sludge Process. Sewage in Kodungaiyur 110mld treatment plant undergoes Primary and secondary treatment.
The raw domestic sewage collected by the various sewage pumping stations are received in the Inlet chamber.
From the inlet chamber, the sewage is screened through Mechanical / Manual screens and taken to Detritors for
removal of sand etc. After detritors, the flow through Parshall flume reaches Primary clarifier, where settling
takes place and thereby about 60% of suspended solids and about 30% BOD are removed in the form of
Primary sludge. The overflow of Primary clarifiers are taken to Aeration tank, where surface aerators are used
for aeration of Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS). The aeration tank has been designed for a hydraulic
detention time of 5 hours as a complete mix activated sludge plant. After aeration, the effluent is taken to
Secondary clarifiers for settling. Overflow from secondary clarifiers is let in to maturation pond (having a
detention time of 3 days) for reduction of coliforms before let into nearby Buckingham canal. A part of
secondary sludge from the secondary clarifiers are taken to Aeration tank as Activated sludge and the excess
sludge along with the Primary sludge are taken to Sludge thickener for thickening and then taken to Sludge
digesters (having a detention time of 15 days) for digestion. The sludge from digesters are taken to Centrifuges
for thickening and then disposed off in the form of landfill. The bio-gas produced during the digestion process,
after H2S scrubbing is taken to Bio-gas engines for production of power and is utilised to run the various units
of STP. About 80% to 85% of STPs power requirement are met from the Bio-gas power. The existing 110mld
STP is operating on Activated Sludge process based systems and designed for removal of Carbonaceous BOD
only and does not have integrated biological nutrient removal section as part of them. From the existing
110mld STPs Maturation pond, the Operator can draw about 65.3mld of Secondary treated effluent (at free of
cost) so as to produce, pump and transmit 45mld TTRO water.
The 45 MLD capacity TTRO plant to produce 45 MLD of tertiary treated Product water from about 65.3 MLD
secondary treated effluent supplied by the Owner, is to be Designed, Build, Tested, Commissioned and
Operated and Maintained for a total period of 15 years by the Operator. Operator shall comply with the

outside the excavation is not reduced to the extent that would damage or endanger adjacent structures or property.
When the specified levels of trench or structure are reached, the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative will inspect the ground exposed and if he
considers that any part of the ground is by its nature unsuitable, he may direct the Contractor to excavate further and the further excavation shall be filled with
concrete M-10 or river sand. Should the bottom of any trench or structure excavation, while acceptable to the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative at the time of his inspection subsequently become unacceptable due to exposure to weather conditions or due to flooding or have become puddled,
soft or loose during the progress of the works, the Contractor shall remove such damaged, softened or loosened material and excavate further by hand. In this
case, the cost of the extra excavation and of the additional foundation materials required will be the Contractor's responsibility if necessitated by his negligence.
The omission by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative to give an instruction under this Clause shall not relieve the Contractor from any
responsibility for defect in the works due to the construction being placed upon an unsuitable formation if prior to the construction of the work the Contractor
shall have failed to call the attention of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative thereto in writing.
If in the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, a formation is unsound as a result of the Contractor failing to keep the excavation

General Procedure:
A. General:
In order to achieve the required strength and associated properties of concrete, proper control of the Water / Cement ratio by weight need be enforced. The
strength shall be prime consideration and W.C. ratio as prescribed by Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative shall have to be observed.
B. Operators:
At no time whatsoever will the mixer operator or those supervising or inspecting the works be permitted to alter the quantity of water specified by the Design-
Build-Operations Engineer or his representative for mixing the concrete. Batching shall be accurate and as specified by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or
his representative.
The Water / Cement ratio will be determined after mix trials by the Contractor in the presence of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. If
batching is by volume, the Contractor shall be required to fabricate such volumetric batches and water containers as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative may determine and require so as to simulate the ideals of the trial mix without recourse to assessments by site staff and workmen.

aggregate as and when the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative or his assistant may require. The machine shall be capable of weighing upto
75 Kilograms and shall be accurate to half (0.5) Kilogram.
E. Compaction:
All concrete shall be thoroughly compacted and fully worked round the reinforcement by vibration just sufficiently so that the appearance of laitance is kept to a
minimum and in such manner as directed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives Representative. Under no circumstances shall
concrete be compacted by trowels or the like.
Fresh concrete from the mixer shall be transported where required by the quickest and most efficient means so as to prevent pre-set or segregation or any loss of
ingredients and shall maintain required workability. Any laitance from previous mixes shall be removed.
Materials shall be tested as hereinafter specified and unless specified otherwise, all sampling and testing shall be performed by Testing Laboratory approved by
Owner at the Contractors expense.
A. Cement:
Cement shall comply with the requirements of IS: 8041, IS: 455, IS: 8043, IS: 6909, IS: 1489, IS: 12269. The testing laboratory at the discretion by the Design-
Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, shall perform such tests as are deemed necessary. Cement bags or bulk silos shall be tagged for identification at
location of sampling. Tests will include tensile tests and weighing the cement supply to check for net weight received at site and used in the works.
1. On arrival at site, cement shall be stored in weatherproof silos designed for the purpose or in dry weather-tight and properly ventilated structures with floors
raised 150 to 200 mm above ground level, 300 mm away from walls and with adequate provision to prevent absorption of moisture or flooding. All storage
facilities shall be subject to approval by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative and shall be such as to permit easy access for inspection and
identification. Each consignment of cement shall be kept separately and the Contractor shall use the consignments in the order in which they are received. Any
cement in drums or bags, which have been opened, shall be used immediately. Different types of cement shall be kept in clearly marked separate storage
facilities. Not more than 15 bags shall be stacked vertically in one pile. Cement shall be stored in double locking arrangement, so that cement transactions can
be with the knowledge of supervisory staff. Daily account of cement shall be maintained by the Contractor in the prescribed register and shall be made available
to inspecting authorities for store verification.
2.The Contractor shall provide from each consignment of cement delivered to the site such samples as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative may require for testing. Any cement which is, in the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, lumpy or partially set
shall be rejected and the Contractor shall promptly remove such cement from the site.
3.Cement which has been stored on the site for more than ninety (90) days and cement which in the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative is of doubtful quality shall not be used in the works until it has been retested and test sheets showing that it complies in all respects with the
relevant standard have been delivered to the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative.
Water shall be clean, clear and free from injurious quantities of salt, traces of oil, acids, alkalis, organic matter and other deleterious materials. The sources of
water shall be approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative and the containers for conveyance; storage and handling shall be clean. If
necessary, standard cement tests shall be conducted using the water intended to be used, in comparison with those adding distilled water to check quality of
water.
Water shall meet the requirement of 4.3 of IS: 456 2000. Generally potable water is fit for mixing and curing.
C. Aggregates:
Aggregate will be tested before and after concrete mix is established and whenever character or source of material is changed. Tests will include a sieve analysis
to determine conformity with limits of gradation.
1. Samples of aggregates 50 kg. in weight will be taken by the Contractor at source of supply and submitted to the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative before placing orders. These samples if approved shall remain preserved in the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives care for
reference and the type of aggregate used in the works may not be altered without Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives prior approval.
2. Aggregate shall be obtained from an approved source and shall conform to the requirements of IS: 383.
For the aggregate grading, in table of IS: 383 1970 shall be applicable. Aggregate shall not be flaky or elongated particles, defined as particles having a
maximum dimension greater than five times the minimum dimension. Aggregate shall have water absorption not exceeding two percent when tested in
accordance with IS 383.
3. The Contractor shall sample and carry out analysis in the presence of the Design-Build-Operations Engineers representative, or the fine aggregate and each
nominal size of coarse aggregate in use employing the methods described in IS: 383 and 2386 at least once in each week when concreting is in progress and such
more frequent intervals as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may require. The grading of all aggregates shall be within the respective
limits specified in the codes. For aggregates, which vary more than the approved fineness modulus, the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative
may instruct the Contractor to alter the relative proportions of the aggregate in the mix to allow for such difference, or may require further trial mixes.
4. Storage of aggregates shall be provided at each point where concrete is made such that each nominal size of coarse aggregate and the fine aggregate shall be
kept separated at all times. Contamination of the aggregates by the ground or other foreign matter shall be effectively prevented at all times, and each heap of
aggregate shall be capable of draining freely. The Contractor shall ensure that graded coarse aggregates are dumped, stored and removed from store in manner
that does not cause segregation.
Coarse aggregate shall be piled in layers not exceeding 1.2m in height to prevent coning or segregation. The aggregates must be of specified quality not only at
the time of receiving at site but more so as the time of loading into mixer.
Wet fine aggregate shall not be used until, in the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, it has drained to a constant and uniform
moisture content, unless the Contractor with the knowledge of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative measures the moisture content of fine
aggregate and adds water in each batch of concrete mixed to allow for the water contained in the fine aggregate.
Mix design is normally a prerequisite to any concreting job and will be required on all major works. If so required, an approved testing laboratory shall, at the
Contractors expense, design a mix for each class of concrete and shall submit full details of the mix designs to the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative for his approval. The Design-Build-Operations Engineers representative and the Contractor shall clearly code each approved mix with a number
and date, and file all details for identifying and reproducing exactly the same mix.
A. General:
Each mix design shall be such that the aggregate shall comprise fine aggregate and coarse aggregate of the size specified and the combined aggregate grading
shall be continuous. Aggregate shall be calculated by weight, and batching procedures shall be established. The cement content by weight shall not be outside
the minimum and maximum limits calculated from the minimum and maximum dry aggregate to cement ratios specified. The mixes shall be designed to produce
average concrete cube strength at twenty eighth day after manufacture not less than the trail mix test strength specified. The water / Cement ratio shall be in the
region of 0.45 to 0.55 and shall never exceed 0.60.
B. Preliminary Mix:
The proportions of cement, aggregate and water determined by the Contractor in his mix design shall be used in preliminary mix of concrete made and tested for
strength and workability under laboratory conditions observing the appropriate requirements. These preliminary mixes shall be repeated with adjusted
proportions as necessary until concrete mixes meeting the requirements of the preliminary and trial mix tests specified and with the workability defined herein
have been produced. If at any time during construction of the works, the source of cement or aggregates is changed, or the grading of the aggregate alters, then
further preliminary mixes shall be undertaken.
C. Trials:
After the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives approval of the preliminary concrete mix design for each class of concrete and during or
following the carrying out of the preliminary tests, the Contractor shall prepare a trial mix of each class in the presence of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer
or his representative. The trial mixes shall be mixed for the same time and handled by means of the same plant that the Contractor propose to use in the works.
The proportion of cement, aggregates and water shall be carefully determined by weight in accordance with the approved mix design (or modified mix design
after preliminary tests) and sieve analyses shall be made, by approved methods of the fine aggregate and each nominal size of coarse aggregate used.
D. Admixtures:
Admixtures shall mean material added to the concrete materials during mixing for the purpose of altering the properties of normal concrete mixes. If the
Contractor wishes to use admixtures, otherwise than as expressly ordered by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, he shall first obtain the
Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives written permission. The methods of use and the quantities of admixture used shall be subject to the
Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives approval, which approval or otherwise shall in no way limit the Contractors obligations under the
contract to produce concrete with the specified strength and workability. Concrete of any class containing an admixture shall be separately designed and have
separate preliminary tests and trial mixes made and tested for approval by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative as if it were a separate
class of concrete.
Waiver of Mix Design and Weigh Batching:
On certain works, the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may waive the requirement of designing mixes and may allow the use of
established nominal mix proportion, provided always that preliminary trials are made to establish the volumetric batching procedure and mix strengths. The
Contractor will ensure that any established procedure approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative is strictly adhered to, so as to
achieve consistent strength, durability and economy of the concrete while ensuring approved workability of the mix. Any waiver of mix design or weigh
batching will not relieve the Contractor of his obligations to consistently produce concrete of the specified and approved strength and durability as determined by
works tests. However in any particular work / part of work, the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may decide to adopt mix design (mix)
concrete.
Workability:
The workability of each class of concrete shall be such that satisfactory compaction can be obtained when the concrete is placed and vibrated in the works. There
shall be no tendency to segregate when it is handled, transported and compacted by the methods, which the Contractor proposes to use when handling,
transporting and compacting that class of concrete in the works.
Grades of concrete:
The concrete shall be in grades designed in Table 2 IS: 456 2000. All the water retaining structures shall be of grade as specified in IS 3370 (Part-1): 2009,
Code of practice for Concrete structures for storage of liquids.
Procedure for designing concrete mixes shall be as per IS: 10262 2009. Guidelines for concrete mix design proportioning.
19.9.7 BATCHING:
Cement:
All cement used in making concrete shall be measured by weight either with an approved weighing machine or by making the size of each batch of concrete such
as to require an integral number of complete bags of cement of weight consistent with the requirements of CI 9 of IS: 12269 - 1987. In case of ordinary mixes,
the cement bag shall be taken to be 50 kg. (35 litres).
Aggregate:
The fine and coarse aggregate shall be measured separately either by volume in gauge boxes or by weight using machines with weigh batching attachments. For
high grade concrete, the fine aggregate shall be measured singly or cumulatively by weight. The Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative will
rule on this requirement.
Gauge Boxes:
Gauge boxes shall be soundly constructed by the Contractor, with the approval of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative and shall be of
timber or of steel to contain exactly the volume of the various aggregates required for one batch of each mix. Each gauge shall be clearly marked with the mix
code and the aggregate for which it is intended. When calculating the size of the gauge box for fine aggregate, allowance shall be made for the bulking of the
fine aggregate due to the average amount of moisture contained in the stockpiles on the site. Before the Contractor shall put any gauge box into use on the site,
he shall obtain the approval of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative of the size and construction of such gauge box.
Water Container:
Containers for measuring water shall be soundly constructed of metal to contain the exact quantity of water required for a batch of mix, due allowance having
been made for the moisture content of the aggregates, or such fractions of the quantity as are approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative. Containers shall have spouts, the pill levels of which determine the quantity. Fixed containers shall be elevated and have overflow pipes, which
determine the quantity held in the container, and shall have an outlet valve and hose fixed to the bottom of the container. Before any container is put into use, the
approval of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative shall be obtained.
Weigh-Batching:
Weigh batching machines shall provide facilities for the accurate control and measurement of the materials either singly or cumulatively and shall be capable of
immediate adjustment by operators in order to permit variations if ordered by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. All weight dials shall
be easily visible from the place at which filling and emptying of the hoppers are controlled.
A. Water:
The addition of water to a mixer shall be controlled such that between five and ten percent of the water enters the mixer before the cement and aggregate and a
further five to ten percent of water enters the mixer after the said materials have been batched. The remainder of the water shall be added at a uniform rate with
the said materials. The water-measuring device shall also be readily adjustable so that the quantity of water added to the mixer can, if necessary in the opinion of
the witnessing Design-Build-Operations Engineers representative be varied. The natural moisture contents of the aggregates shall be determined before the
commencement of concreting or at such intervals as may be necessary or as required by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. The
Contractor shall make due allowance for the water contained in the aggregate when determining in consultation with the Design-Build-Operations Engineers
representative, the quantity of water to be added to each mix, and shall adjust the amount of water added to each mix to maintain consistently the approved water
/ cement ratio of the mixed concrete. All important concrete shall be machine mixed to give complete coating of cement mortar on each coarse aggregate particle
and to produce uniform coloured concrete with uniform distribution of materials. The mixer shall be run minimum 1 minutes. In case, for a minor job, hand
mixing is permitted by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, it shall be done on smooth watertight platform not allowing the added water
to flow out. The fine aggregate shall be spread in uniform thickness layer over which cement as required shall be placed and they shall be mixed thoroughly to
give dry mortar. Water is then added gradually in required proportion, turning the mass, to give desired consistency mortar. The required quantity of coarse
aggregate is then placed on mixing platform, wetted and mortar added. The entire mass is turned and returned to give uniform concrete of required consistency.
5% additional cement shall be used for hand mixed concrete.
B. Admixtures:
Any admixtures approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, which may be used, shall be measured separately in calibrated
dispensers and shall be added to the mixture together with the water.
C. Uniformity of Mix:
Concrete shall be mixed in batches in plant capable of mixing the aggregates, cement and water (including admixtures, if any) into a mixture of uniform in colour
and consistency and of discharging the mixture without segregation.
D. Contractors Returns:
The Contractor shall render to the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, daily return for each class of concrete of the number of batches
mixed, and total volume of concrete placed, the number of batches wasted or rejected and the weight of cement used. In case of ordinary mixes, where permitted,
the cement bags consumed for quantities of various classes of concrete shall be furnished. In addition daily details of time of starting concrete, closure, No. of
batches through mixer, W.C. ratio, slump, date of striking form works etc. shall be maintained. This day-to-day record shall be authenticated by responsible
supervisory staff.
All mixing and batching plants boxes, containers and other equipment shall be maintained free of defects or of set concrete or cement and shall be cleaned before
commencing mixing. At such intervals as may be directed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, the Contractor shall provide weights,
containers and equipment necessary for testing the accuracy of the weighting plant, water measuring plant and admixture dispenser.
19.9.8 CONCRETING:
Preparation:
The Contractor shall clear from the surface of the foundations or previously placed concrete all oil, loose fragments of rock, earth, mud, timber and any other
foreign matter and shall clear standing water and wash the surface of a previous lift of concrete to the satisfaction of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative.
a. Laitance:
Where laitance on a lift of concrete is evident or if a substantial bond between this lift or bay or concrete and the next is required, in the opinion of the Design-
Build-Operations Engineers representative, the Contractor shall have the surface wire brushed after initial set of the concrete or have it bush-hammered at no
extra cost to the Owner. Any reinforcing bars covered in laitance shall be wire brushed to clean the surface of the metal.
b. Blinding:
As ordered by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, or as shown on the drawings the formation surfaces on which concrete is to be placed
shall be covered with either blinding concrete not less than 75mm thick, or waterproof, building paper, or polythene sheeting immediately after completion of the
final trimming of the excavation.
19.9.9 INSPECTION:
Concrete shall not be placed until the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative has inspected the formwork and the reinforcing steel, and taken
necessary measurements of the latter, and has approved the surface upon which the concrete is to be placed.
a. Transporting:
Fresh concrete shall be transported from the mixer to its place in the works as quickly and as efficiently as possible by methods, which will prevent pre-set or
segregation. If segregation has nevertheless occurred in any instance, the materials shall be remixed or discarded at the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative.
b. Placing:
Fresh concrete shall be placed and compacted before initial set has occurred and in any event, not later than thirty minutes from the time of mixing. Concrete
shall be carefully placed in horizontal layers which shall not be allowed to slide or flow down sloping surfaces but shall be placed in its final position from skips,
or similar devices. If this is impracticable, it shall be shoveled into position care being taken to avoid segregation. No concrete shall be dropped more than 1.5m.
If greater drops are necessary approved chutes may be used. If the concrete abuts against earth or any other material liable to become loose or to slip, care shall
be taken to avoid falls of materials on the surface of the wet concrete.
As far as possible concrete for any particular portion shall be done in one continuous operation leaving construction joints, if specified by drawing.
Before commencing subsequent concrete on the one left incomplete, all the loose particles, laitance etc. shall be removed and surface shall be covered with thick
cement slurry. The concrete compacted manually shall be laid in layers not more than 150 to 200 mm. The successive layer shall follow within 30 minutes or
earlier.
19.9.10 COMPACTION:
All concrete placed in-situ shall be compacted with power driven or pneumatic internal type vibrators unless otherwise approved by the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative in writing, and shall be supplemented by hand spading and tamping where required. Vibrating by screed type vibrators may be
used for thin slabs. There shall be sufficient and spare vibrators of adequate capacity to compact the work in hand.
a. Vibration:
Vibrators shall be inserted into the uncompacted concrete vertically and at regular intervals. Where the uncompacted concrete is in a layer above freshly
compacted concrete, the vibrator shall be allowed to penetrate vertically for about 75mm into the previous freshly compacted layer. The vibrators shall not be
allowed to come into contact with the reinforcement or formwork nor shall they be withdrawn quickly from the mass of concrete but shall be drawn back slowly
while in motion so as to leave no voids. Internal type vibrators shall not be placed in the concrete in any arbitrary manner nor shall concrete be moved from one
part of the work to another by means of the vibrators. The vibrators shall have minimum 3600 (preferably 5000) impulses per minute.
b. Duration:
The duration of vibration shall be limited to that required to produce satisfactory compaction of the concrete without causing segregation. Vibration shall on no
account be continued after the appearance of water or grout on the surface.
c. Hand compaction:
This shall be permitted exceptionally for small jobs by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. In such cases, compaction shall be attained
by means of rodding, tamping, ramming and slicing with suitable tools. The thickness of concrete layers will also be suitably reduced when hand compaction is
resorted to.
19.9.12 CURING:
All concrete shall be protected from the effects of sunshine, rain, running water or mechanical damage and cured by covering with jute, hessian or similar
absorbent material kept constantly wet or a layer of sand kept covered with water is also permissible for a continuous period of fourteen days at least from the
date of placement. Should the Contractor fail to water concrete continuously, the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may provide labour
and materials required for curing and recover the cost from the Contractor.
19.9.13 FINISHING:
Immediately after removal of forms, any undulations, depressions, cavities, honey combing, broken edges or corners, high spots and defects shall be made good
and finished with C.M. 1:2, but the necessity of such finishing must be exceptional and total surface requiring finishing shall not exceed 1%. Where concrete
surface is to receive plaster, the surface shall be roughened immediately after removal of forms and within a day thereof to secure a hold for the plaster. The rate
of concrete is inclusive of this roughening and finishing. Concrete after finishing shall be cured for the full period.
19.9.14 JOINTS:
Construction Joints:
Construction joints are defined as joints in the concrete introduced for convenience in construction at which special measures are taken at to achieve subsequent
continuity without provision for further relative movement.
a. Submittal:
No concreting shall be started until the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative has approved the methods of placing, the positions and form of
the construction joints and the size of lifts.
b. Jointing:
The face of a construction joint shall have all laitance removed and the aggregate exposed prior to the placing of fresh concrete. The laitance shall wherever
practicable be removed by spraying the concrete surface with water under pressure and brushing whilst the concrete is still green. Where the laitance cannot be
removed whilst the concrete is green, the whole of the concrete surface forming part of the joint shall be hacked to expose the aggregate. Where aggregate is
damaged during hacking, it shall be removed from the concrete face by further hacking. All loose matter shall be removed and the exposed surface thoroughly
cleaned by wire brushing, and washing down, and the surface to which fresh concrete is applied shall be clean and damp.
Expansion Joints:
Expansion joints are defined as joints intended to accommodate relative movement between adjoining parts of a structure, special provision being made where
necessary for maintaining the water tightness of the joint.
1. The Contractor shall comply with the instructions of manufacturers of proprietary jointing materials and shall, if required by the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative, demonstrate that the jointing materials can be applied satisfactorily and will last the life of the structure.
2. Flexible water stops shall be fully supported in the formwork, free of nails and clear of reinforcement and other fixtures. Damaged water stops shall be
replaced and during concreting care shall be taken to place the concrete so that water stops do not bend or distort.
b. Jointing:
The surface of set concrete shall not be disturbed and concrete shall be placed against the dry finished surface.
3. If ingress of water or corrosive agents in the joint is possible, the steel, where such steel is continued, shall be cleaned and coated with two coats of an
approved bituminous paint to a distance not exceeding 10mm.
4. Where specified, the surface of the set concrete shall be painted with two coats of an approved bituminous paint, which shall be allowed to dry before placing
new concrete against it. Care shall be taken to prevent paint getting on the water stop, if any.
5. Expansion joints shall be formed by a separating strip of pre-formed compressible imperishable joint filler, to be approved by the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative.
Sampling and strength test of concrete shall be as per 14 of IS: 456 2000.
The Contractor shall take special care for concrete for liquid retaining structures, underground structures and those others specifically called for to guarantee the
finish and water tightness.
The Contractor shall make all arrangements for hydro-testing of structure as per BIS: 3370 part I, all arrangements for testing such as temporary bulk heads,
pressure gauges, pumps, pipe lines etc.
Any leakage that may occur during the hydro-test or subsequently during the O&M period shall be effectively stopped either by cement/epoxy pressure grouting,
guniting or such other methods as may be approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. All such rectification shall be done by the
contractor to the entire satisfaction of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative at no extra cost to the department.
Hydrostatic test for water tightness shall be done at full storage level including free board as may be directed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative, as described below:
In the case of structures whose external faces are exposed, the requirements of the test shall be deemed to be satisfied if the external faces show no sign of
leakage or sweating and remain completely dry during the period of observation of seven days after allowing a seven day period for absorption after filling with
water.
In the case of structures whose external faces are buried and are not accessible for inspection, such as underground tanks, the structures shall be filled with water
and after the expiry of seven days after the filling; the level of the surface of the water shall be recorded. The level of water shall be recorded again at subsequent
intervals of 24 hrs over a period of seven days. The total drop in surface level over a period for seven days shall be taken as an indication of water tightness of
the structure. The Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative shall decide on the actual permissible nature of this drop in the surface level, taking
into account whether the structures are open or closed and the corresponding effect it has on evaporation losses. Unless specified otherwise, a structure whose top
is covered shall be deemed to be water tight if the total drop in the surface level over a period of seven days does not exceed 40 mm.
Each compartment/segment of the structure shall be tested individually and then all together.
For structures such as pipes, tunnels etc. the hydrostatic test shall be carried out by filling with water, after curing as specified, and subjecting to the specified test
pressure for specified period. If during this period the loss of water does not exceed the equivalent of the specified rate, the structure shall be considered to have
successfully passed the test.
19.10.1 MATERIAL:
All formwork for concrete work shall be mostly of M.S. Plates. The plates shall be free from wrinkles, lumps or other imperfections. Steel plates shall have
sufficient thickness to withstand the construction loads and the pressure exerted by the wet concrete as well as vibration during placing of concrete. Normally the
thickness shall not be less than 18 gauge for M.S. Plates.
The formwork may also be constructed of timber, or other approved material. It shall be firmly supported, adequately strutted, braced and tied to withstand the
placing and vibrating of concrete and the effects of weather. One copy of the Contractors shoring and formwork drawings shall be submitted to the Owner for
record purpose only and not for review or approval. Forms, shoring and false work shall be adequate for imposed live and dead loads including equipment and
men, height of concrete drop, concrete and foundation pressures and stresses, wind pressures, lateral stability, and other safety factors during construction. The
Contractor shall be responsible for the calculations and designs for the formwork. The Contractor shall be held solely responsible for any failure and for the
safety of work and workmen. He shall pay necessary compensation, if need be, for damages to work, property and injuries to persons. The scaffolding, hoisting
arrangements and ladders shall have easy approach to work spot and afford easy inspection.
All formwork shall be fabricated in compliance with the best modern practice, so that the finished surface is even, unblemished free of fins and true to line, level
and shape as shown in the drawings. The forms shall comply with the requirements of IS: 456.
19.10.2 ARRANGEMENTS:
All formwork shall conform to the shape, lines, dimensions as shown on the plans of the concrete members. The formwork shall include all wedging, bracing, the
rod, clamps, stop off boards and other devices necessary to mould the concrete to the desired shape. The formwork shall be constructed as to remain sufficiently
rigid during the placing and compacting of the concrete and shall withstand the necessary pressure, ramming and vibrations without any deflection from the
prescribed lines and curves. It shall be properly strutted and braced in at least two directions. It shall be sufficiently tight to prevent loss of liquid slurry from the
concrete. It shall be strongly and firmly erected. The moulds shall be free from holes, open joints, and other imperfections. The formwork shall be so arranged
as to permit easy erection initially and easy removal without jarring or disturbing the concrete finally. Wedges and clamps shall be used wherever practicable
instead of nails.
Where the depth of formwork exceeds 1.5 metres, the Contractors shall keep one side partly open, from which the concrete could be placed and the planking on
the open side could be raised as the work proceeds. This will avoid segregation of material in concrete and also facilitate its proper vibration.
Before concrete is placed, all rubbish shall be removed from the interior of the form and the surfaces of the formwork in contact with concrete shall be cleaned
and thoroughly wetted. The inside surface of the formwork shall be treated with a coat of lime, oil or any other material approved by the Design-Build-
Operations Engineer or his representative. Care shall be taken to see that the above approved composition is kept out of contact with the reinforcement. The slab
centering shall be covered with Double Wax water proofing paper or tar paper or polythene sheet as directed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative.
Where no special finish is desired and where form finish is acceptable, the formwork may be prepared out of water proof black board, which shall give a good
finish to the concrete surface and thus there will be no necessity of providing cement plaster finish. For work, which are of repetitive nature, such as column
footings, pedestals for pipes, pedestal footings; the formwork shall be fabricated out of steel plates and structurals to obtain uniform finish throughout the work.
In all cases the formwork shall be inspected and approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative, before any concreting is started. The
Contractor shall, however, be solely responsible for the proper design, adequacy and stability of the formwork. If at any time, in the opinion of the Design-Build-
Operations Engineer or his representative, the formwork provided is not considered sufficiently rigid and / or is defective, the Contractor shall improve or
strengthen the same in such manner as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may direct. In no circumstances shall form be struck off until
the concrete attains adequate strength as required or without obtaining permission of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. All formwork
shall be removed without such shock or vibration as would damage the concrete. Before the soffit and the struts are removed, the concrete surface shall be
exposed where necessary in order to ascertain that the concrete has hardened sufficiently. The responsibility for the removal of the formwork whether whole or
part, shall rest, entirely with the Contractor who must nevertheless be guided by the opinion of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative in this
regard. The work of striking and the removal of formwork shall be conducted in the presence of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative and
under personal supervision of a competent foreman in the employment of the Contractor.
Formwork shall be so designed as to permit easy removal without resorting to hammering or levering against the surface of the concrete. The periods of time
elapsing between the placing of the concrete and the removal of the formwork shall be as approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his
representative after consideration of the loads likely to be imposed on the concrete and shall be in any case be not less than the periods shown below, depending
on the ambient temperature.
Sequence of striking formwork shall be approved by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative.
Not withstanding the foregoing, the Contractor shall be held responsible for any damage arising from removal of formwork before the structure is capable of
carrying its own weight and any incidental loading. The Contractor shall be wholly responsible for repairing or reconstruction as directed by the Design-Build-
Operations Engineer or his representative the section of the works so affected.
In retaining wall construction shoring and false work shall not be removed until 21 days after concrete placement or until concrete has attained at least 90 percent
of the 28 days design compressive strength as demonstrated by control test cylinders, whichever is earlier.
2. Restriction:
Construction equipment, or permanent loads shall not be imposed on columns, supported slabs, or supported beams until concrete has attained the 28 days design
compressive strength as demonstrated by control test cylinders.
Concrete shall be thoroughly wetted as soon as forms are first loosened and shall be kept wet during the removal operations and until curing media or sacking is
applied. Portable water supply with hoses or buckets shall be ready at each removal location before removal operations are commenced.
19.10.4 SURFACE TREATMENT & FINISH:
When the formwork is struck, all the faces of concrete shall be smooth and sound, free from voids and air holes. Any roughness or irregularity on the exposed
surfaces shall be immediately filled up while the concrete is still green with cement grout, cement wash and / or 1:1 mortar properly trowelled and finished. Such
patching of the concrete face shall be carried only with the permission of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. If the concrete is found
honey-combed, the honeycombed portion and whatever surrounding concrete that may be considered unsatisfactory by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or
his representative shall be dismantled and fresh concrete of proper quality shall be provided at Contractors cost.

1 4 0.53 26.5
1 5 0.60 30.0
1 6 0.70 35.0
1 8 0.90 45.0
Machine mixed mortar shall be prepared in an approved mixer. Water cement ratio shall be as per hand mixed mortar. The mortar so prepared shall be used
within 30 minutes of adding water. The mortar remaining unused after that period, mortar, which has partially hardened or is otherwise damaged shall not be re
tempered or remixed. It shall be destroyed or thrown away.
Cleanliness:
All dirt, dust and other foreign matter on masonry and laitance on the concrete surfaces shall be removed by watering and brushing as required. If the
background contains soluble salts particularly sulphates, the application of plaster shall be done only after the efflorescence of the salts is complete and the
efflorescence is completely removed from the surface.
Joints in brickwork, stone masonry and hollow block, masonry shall be raked out to a depth of not less than 10mm as the work proceeds. Local projection in
brickwork and masonry beyond the general wall face shall be trimmed off where necessary.
Roughness:
Smooth surfaces of in-situ concrete walls and ceilings etc. shall be roughened by wire brushing, if it is not hard; and by hacking or bush hammering if it is hard,
to provide for proper adhesion. Projecting burrs of mortar because of gaps at joints in shuttering shall be removed. The surface shall be scrubbed clean with wire
brushes. In addition concrete surface shall be pock marked with a pointed tool at spacing of about 50mm, the pocks made to be not less than 3mm deep.
Suction Adjustments:
Adequate drying intervals shall be allowed between the erection of masonry and plastering to bring the surface suitable for suction adjustment. High rate of
suction makes the plaster weak, porous and friable. The wall shall not be soaked but only damped evenly before applying the plaster. If the surface becomes dry
in spots, such areas shall be moistened again to restore uniform suction. Excessive water leads to failure of bond between the plaster and the background.
Evenness:
Any local unevenness must be levelled and projections removed to avoid variance in the thickness of plaster.
Immobility:
Differential movements between the background and the plaster due to moisture change, temperature change, structural settlement, defection, etc. cause cracks.
The major part of such movements shall be allowed to set in before the plaster is applied.
19.12.5 PLASTERING:
Plastering Generally:
The type and mix of mortar for plastering, the number of coats to be applied, the surface finish of the plaster and the background to which the plaster is to be
applied shall be as indicated.
The mortar for dubbing out and rendering coat shall be of the same type and mix. Dubbing out may be executed as a separate coat or along with the rendering
coat.
Protection:
All existing work and fittings that are likely to be damaged in the application of plastering shall be protected. Care shall be taken to avoid, as far as possible, the
splashing of mortar on to the finished surfaces such as joinery, paint work and glazing; all such splashes shall be cleaned off immediately.
Screeds 150 x 150 mm shall be laid vertically and horizontally not more than 2m apart to serve as guides in bringing the work to an even surface.
Plastering shall be done from top to bottom and care shall be taken to avoid joints in continuous surface.
To avoid break down of adhesion between successive coats, drying shrinkage of first coat shall be allowed to be materially completed before a subsequent coat is
applied.
All corners, arises, angles, junctions shall be truly vertical or horizontal as the case may be and shall be carefully finished. Rounding or chamfering of corners,
arises and junctions shall be carried out with proper templates to the required size. Plastering of cornices, decorative features, etc. shall normally be completed
before the finishing coat is applied.
In suspending the work at the end of the day, the plaster shall be cut clean to the line both horizontally and vertically. When recommencing the plastering, the
edge of the old work shall be scraped clean and wetted with lime putty or cement slurry before plaster is applied to the adjacent area. Partially set and dried
mortar shall not be re tempered for use.
Cleaning of completion:
On completion, all work affected by plastering and pointing shall be left clean, special care shall be taken when removing any set mortar from glass and joinery,
etc. to avoid damaging their surface.
Mortar shall be firmly applied to the masonry walls and well pressed into the joints and forcing it into surface depressions to obtain a permanent bond. The
plaster shall be laid in a little more than the required thickness and levelled with a wooden float. On concrete walls, rendering shall be dashed on to roughened
surface to ensure adequate bond. The dashing of rendering coat shall be done using a strong whipping motion at right angles to the face of walls. The surface
shall be finished even and fair. Unless indicated to be finished even and smooth.
First Coat:
The first coat of the specified thickness shall be applied in a manner similar to one coat plasterwork. Before the first coat hardens, the surface of the cement and
cement lime plasters shall be scored to provide key for second coat. In case of lime plasters the surface shall be beaten with edges of wooden thapies and close
dents shall be made on the surface, to serve as a key to the subsequent coat. The rendering coat shall be kept damp for atleast two days, it shall be allowed to
become thoroughly dry.
Second Coat:
Before starting to apply second coat, the surface of the rendering coat shall be damped evenly. The second coat shall be completed to the specified thickness in
exactly the same manner as the one coat plaster work.
After applying and finishing the undercoats and before they set, the finishing coat of specially prepared lime putty about 1.5mm thick shall be applied. It shall be
well polished with a trowel.
19.12.10 CURING:
Each coat shall be kept damp continuously for at least two days. Moistening shall commence as soon as the plaster has hardened sufficiently and is not

19.13.13 MORTAR:
The mortar of the lining shall be composed of cement, sand and water.
Additives may be used, provided that they do not prejudice the quality of the coating and that of the transported water and that the lining remains in accordance
with all the requirements of International Standard.
The mortar shall be thoroughly mixed and shall have consistency, which results in a dense and homogeneous lining.
The mortar shall contain by mass at least one part of cement to 3.5 parts of sand.
19.13.14 CONDITION OF THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE PIPE BEFORE APPLICATION OF THE LINING:
All foreign bodies, loose scale or any other material, which could be detrimental to good contact between the metal and the lining, shall be removed from the
surface to which the lining is to be applied. The inner surface of the pipe shall also be free of any metal projections likely to protrude beyond 50% the thickness

Thickness of lining shall be checked frequently as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer may direct in order to maintain proper control on the lining operations.
Graduated needle or other approved appliance shall be used for measuring the thickness. The tolerance in the lining thickness shall be +3mm and no minus
tolerance is allowed.
The surface of the cement mortar lining shall be uniformly smooth. Only isolated grains of sand are allowed to appear on the surface of the lining.
The lining shall be free from corrugations or ridges that could reduce the thickness of the lining to less than the minimum value at one point, as specified in the
above table.
On contraction of the lining, the formation of cracks cannot be avoided. These cracks, together with other isolated cracks, which may result from manufacture or
may develop during transportation, are acceptable up to a width of 0.8mm.
The manufacturer shall take maximum care in keeping the internal surface of pipe even and uniformly smooth. The check of unevenness of pipe shall be done as
per IS 11906 - 1986.
19.14.1 TRANSPORTATION:
The transportation of materials to work site and stacking shall be done in such a manner as to cause minimum inconvenience to the traffic and other construction
works. Pipes shall be protected during handling against impact, shocks and free fall to avoid cracks and damage. Pipes shall be loaded for transportation is in
such a way that they are secured and no movement can take place on the vehicle during transit. The same care shall be taken if pipes are transferred from one
vehicle to another, however short the journey may be. The cement mortar lining of pipes that are damaged during transportation is to be repaired by hand
application if possible; otherwise it has to be rejected. The decision for rejection shall be taken by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative.
Each pipe consignment shall be inventoried and inspected with care upon arrival even though the pipes have been inspected and loaded with care at the factory.
Overall examination shall be made during unloading to ensure that the pipes have reached destination in good condition. If there is any sign of rough treatment
on the coating, each pipe shall be inspected for damage.
While unloading, pipes shall not be thrown down from the truck to the hard roads. Cranes or Mechanical equipment shall be used for unloading the pipes from
the truck. If mechanical equipment is not available, care should be taken to unload the pipes on timber skids. Unloading them on timber skids without a
steadying rope and thus allowing the pipe to bump hard against one another should not be allowed. In order to avoid damage to the pipes specially to the spigot
end, pipe should not be dragged along concrete and similar pavements with hard surfaces.
The pipes shall be laid on timber battens and secured with wooden wedges. The pipes shall be stacked with each tier at right angles to the preceding tier.
Proper implements, tools and facilities satisfactory to the Authority shall be provided and used for the safe and convenient execution of the work. All pipes,
fittings, valves and hydrants shall be carefully lowered into the trench, piece by piece, by means of a derrick, ropes or other suitable tools or equipment, in such a
manner as to prevent damage to pipes materials and protective coatings and linings. Under no circumstances shall pipes materials be dropped or dumped into the
trench. Pipes over 300mm diameter shall be handled and lowered into trenches with the help of chain pulley blocks or preferably by cranes. Tripod supports
used for this purpose shall be regularly checked to prevent all risks of accidents.
All lumps, blisters and excess coating material shall be removed from the socket and spigot end of each pipe. The outside of the spigot and the inside of the
socket shall be wire-brushed and wiped clean and dry and free from oil and grease before the pipe is laid.
19.14.5 LAYING:
Before lowering the pipe, the trench section shall be got approved from the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. Trenches are to be dug to
the specified level / grade. Sufficient cushion shall be provided for protection from surface traffic, future changes in the ground elevation. The width of the
trench shall be to the required specifications providing room for pipe laying operation, backfilling, compaction etc., Trenches should be shored and braced when
conditions so warrant.
The bottom of the trench shall form a continuous bed for the pipe. Where rock is encountered, trenches shall be dug deeper and then filled and compacted to
grade with suitable bedding material. The Contractor shall have to provide and maintain sight rails and boning rods wherever required till the completion of
work. The pipe shall be laid in reasonably dry condition and under no circumstances they shall rest on slushy bedding.
The pipes shall be lowered slowly into the trench by means of chain pulley block and tripod stand or with the help of ropes and suitable size of wooden bullies or
with the help of cranes. They shall be brought to the required level by giving packing with wooden sleeper pieces and ultimately with well-consolidated hard
muram if required. The chain pulley block and tripod stand must be approved from the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. Under no
circumstances pipe shall be allowed to be thrown in the trenches.
At the end of each day, the end of the pipe should be plugged to prevent entry of rodents, foreign substances, water etc.
Venteak piles are proposed for portion of pipeline which crosses the nalla or slushy soils. Each pipe shall be supported on a pair of Venteak piles driven upto
3.50m or firm ground whichever is met earlier.
One pair of timber piles shall be driven about 150mm behind the shoulder of toe socket and another pair about 750mm in front of the spigot end of the pipe.
The size of timber section to be used for Venteak piles shall be:
A cross piece of section same as that of pile shall be bolted to a pair of piles which have been driven to the required depth.
The level of the cross piece should be such that when the pipe rests on its top, its Invert level coincides with the proposed invert of the pipe.
The pipe shall be aligned for straightness and secured in position by wooden wedges nailed down to the wooden cross piece.
The spigot end of each pipe shall be thoroughly homed in to socket of preceding pipe and jointing made.
The pipe shall be further secured from moving upwards by timber crosspieces bolted to the supporting piles. The section of the crosspiece shall be same as that
of pile.
The socket ends of all pipes shall face up hill irrespective of the direction of water flow. Any deviation either in plan or elevation of less than 11 deg. angle
shall usually be effected by laying straight pipes round a flat curve, of such radius that rubber gasket shall not be disturbed in its place.
19.14.7 TESTING:
After laying and jointing, the pipeline must be pressure tested to ensure that the pipes and joints are sound enough to withstand the maximum pressure likely to
be developed under working conditions. The Contractor shall submit for the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives approval, details of his
proposed methods and programme for testing including details of test equipment and shall arrange for all tests to be witnessed by the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative. The Contractor shall provide all things necessary for carrying out testing and cleaning including water pumps, gauges, piped
connections, stop ends, and all other temporary works.
Pipelines shall be properly completed and supported before being put under test. No testing will be permitted until ten days after thrust blocks and other holding
down works have been completed. In addition to any tests of individual joints or other interim tests which may be specified elsewhere, the Contractor shall
submit, all parts of the pipelines to a final test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contractor may at any stage of construction, carry out such other tests as he
considers desirable to check materials and workmanship on the pipeline but this shall not relieve the Contractor of his obligations to achieve successful tests
under the contract.
All water required for testing and cleaning the pipelines shall be potable water and shall be provided by the Contractor at his cost. The test can be carried out by
means of a hand pump or a pressure pump.
Pipelines shall be tested in lengths between valve pits or such lengths as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative may direct or permit.
Fittings required for temporarily closing the openings in pipelines to be tested shall be properly designed for this purpose and shall be adequately strutted to
withstand the pressure specified.
The completed pipeline may be tested in sections; the length of section should be decided by considering:
(c) the difference in elevation between one part of the pipeline and another.
The maximum length that can be tested in one operation shall be restricted to 500m and minimum length shall be 50m.
Where joints are left uncovered until after testing, sufficient materials should be backfilled over the centre of each pipe to prevent movement under the test
pressure.
The Contractor shall make his own arrangements to procure necessary equipment, apparatus etc., required for testing and shall provide necessary labour for
filling with water the length of pipes to be tested, fixing all apparatus and for carrying on the testing operations until the length of pipe, specials and connections
are firmly passed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative. If the testing apparatus and equipment are available with the Owner, they can
be hired by the Contractor at usual conditions and charges.
The length to be tested shall be provided with two blank flanges fastened on the usual manner by collar bands and bolts to the end pipes or if the length to be
tested shall have a sluice valve at each end, such blank flanges may be dispensed with.
The length of pipes to be tested shall first be filled in with water from a higher section of pipes already laid or with clean water obtained, as the Contractor may
arrange with the approval of the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative.
Before the actual testing pressure is applied, any air which has logged in the length of pipe to be tested shall be got rid of, by screwing on at the highest part of
the length of pipes or temporary air valve, or by opening a temporary stop-cock or by other means as the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative
may direct.
Each pipeline or section thereof, shall be filled with water and all air removed. The pressure in the pipelines shall be raised steadily until the site test pressure is
reached in the lowest part of the section. This pressure should be maintained, by pumping if necessary, for a period of not less than 1 hour. The pump should
then be disconnected and no further water permitted to enter the pipeline for a period of 1 hour. At the end of this period, the reduced pressure in the pipeline
should be measured, the original test pressure restored by pumping and the loss measured by drawing off water from the pipeline until the pressure has fallen to
match the reduced pressure previously noted. The loss shall not exceed 0.02 litre per mm diameter per Kilometer per 24 hours for each bar of head applied. If
the pipeline fails to pass the test, the faults shall be located and repaired and the pipeline retested until it passes the pressure test. All exposed pipe, fittings,
valves and joints shall be visually inspected during the tests.
If the length of pipeline under test is found to be satisfactory and no leaks or sweating are found at the pipe joints or at the joints of specials and connections, then
this length of pipeline will be passed by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative.
But should any pipe, joint, special or connection be found to sweat or leak, Contractor shall make good at his cost such defective joints and the length of pipe line
shall be retested until all pipes, joints specials and connections are found to be satisfactory.
After satisfactory test, the Contractor shall remove water from the pipeline and clean it after testing at his own cost, without flooding adjoining areas.
The test is for 1 hour only. The rate of allowable leakage is given on per day basis. The leakage observed within one hour shall be converted to per day basis
and compared with criteria given.
Table 1 on page 11 of IS:12288 is not applicable in this case as our test pressures are well below the maximum field hydraulic test pressures given in the table.
As regards allowance for lower points, there is marginal level difference in levels, between 2 points in the section to be chosen for testing and hence the
difference in pressure developed will be insignificant.
The interconnection work between the existing main (if any) and the proposed main to be laid under this contract shall proceed from the new main to the existing
main. Before actually proceeding with the interconnection work, the Contractor shall make ready necessary tools and plants required for the work at site, such as
pump sets, shoring materials etc. He shall also keep ready at site necessary pipes, jointing materials, specials and valves required for the work. The Contractor
shall keep necessary skilled workmen of sufficient strength at site and once the work commenced, the entire interconnection work shall proceed without
interruption by engaging labour for carrying out the work on a continuous basis both day and night till the work is completed. The work shall be executed as per
programme drawn up by the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representative and shall be completed within the time ordered by the Design-Build-
Operations Engineer or his representative, for each individual interconnection. The work shall be carried out under the direction of the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative from the beginning to end.
Laying of specials, valves (except straight pipes from the branch of the new main to the connecting point in the existing main) including conveying specials etc.
from the stores or site of stacking, excavating, timbering, pumping out water from the trenches, lowering, aligning, jointing specials and valves, cutting the
existing mains, dealing with water, inserting the necessary branches, jointing, testing, refilling etc. is included in the item of providing, laying and jointing DI /
MS pipes. Any ancillary work either of Temporary or Permanent nature required for interconnection and not covered by schedules shall be executed by the
Contractor at no extra cost.
Flanged joint should be made by painting the facing of the flange with white lead freely and bolting up evenly on all sides. A thin fibre of lead wool may be very
useful in making the joints water tight where facing of the pipes is not true.
When packing must be used, it should be of rubber insertion three ply and of approved thickness. The packing should be of the full diameter of the flange with
proper pipe hold and boltholes cut out evenly on both the inner and outer edges. Where the flange is not full faced, the packing may be of diameter of the
packing strip only, proper placing of the packing should be checked before another pipe is jointed on.
Based on the Design-Build-Operations Engineer or his representatives decision this clause will be applicable for the present Contract.
Upon completion of a newly laid main or when repairs to existing pipes are made, the main shall be disinfected as directed by the Design-Build-Operations
Engineer or his representative.
The main shall be flushed prior to disinfection except when the tablet method is used. After initial flushing, the hypochlorite solution shall be applied to the
water main with mechanically or electrically powered chemical feed pump designed for feeding chlorine solutions. For small applications, the solution may be
fed with a hand pump.
In the case of mains of large diameter, water from the existing distribution system or other approved source shall be made to flow at a constant measured rate into
the newly laid pipeline. The water shall receive a dose of chlorine also fed at a constant measured rate. The two rates shall be proportioned so that the
concentration in the water entering the pipeline is maintained at not less than 300 mg/l. The chlorine shall be applied continuously and for a sufficient period to
develop a solid column of Slug of chlorinated water that will, as it passes along the line, expose all interior surfaces to a concentration of at least 300 mg/l. for
atleast 3 hours. As the chlorinated water flows through tees and crosses, related valves and hydrants shall be operated so as to disinfect the appurtenances.
In the case of newly laid mains in which scrupulous cleanliness has been exercised, the tablet method can be adopted and in this method, the initial flushing is
dispensed with. The calcium hypo chlorate tablets, are placed in each section of pipe and also in hydrants, hydrants branches and other appurtenances. The
tablets shall be attached by an adhesive and must be at the top of the main. The main shall then be filled with water and the water shall remain in the pipe for
atleast 24 hours.
After the applicable retention period, the heavily chlorinated water shall be flushed from the main until the chlorine concentration in the water leaving the mains
is no higher than that generally prevailing in the system or less than 1 mg/l.
After final flushing and before the water main is placed in service, a sample or samples shall be collected from the end of the line and tested for bacteriological
quality and shall show the absence of coliform organisms. If the initial disinfection fails to produce satisfactory samples, disinfection shall be repeated until
satisfactory samples have been obtained. When the samples are satisfactory, the main may be placed in service.
The Contractor is expected to carry out the disinfection work as a part of laying the pipes and his rates for laying the pipes should include the disinfection and
other connected works till the main is placed in service unless otherwise specified in the schedule.

21.6.4 Security levels
To restrict access to a particular system element (command, object, report, alarm, etc.),. SCADA should provide privileges to the users who will use it. User
Privileges for Owner to be defined for three user privileges. They are as follows:
The RTU shall have two types of security, one for the programming and configuration interface and the other for the RTU ports.
The programming and configuration interface shall support at least six levels of user access that can be configured by a system administrator. These should
include as a minimum,
0) Unlimited Access Allows unlimited access, can read and write all RTU
parameters including configuration parameters. RTU
parameters include :- Local Registers, Network Registers,
System Registers, Hardware (I/O) Registers, Event Logs,
and Logic Program/s.
1) Read All, Write All Allows reading and writing of all RTU parameters, except
(except config.) for System Registers and Ladder Logic. Thus
reconfiguring an RTU is not possible from this access
level.
2) Read All, Limited Allows reading all RTU parameters. Writing is
Write Access
limited to some Local Registers. No other
parameters can be written at this access level.
4) Limited Read Access This access level allows reading some Local Registers.
only No parameters can be written.
Whenever the interface program is started, the user should be prompted to enter a username and password. This is checked against the User Database, to verify
the password, and to provide the authorized access level. Alternatively, the user can select 'View-Only' mode.
RTU Security
Each RTU Communication Port shall have a configurable access level. The default access level can be any of the 6 levels (0-5) specified above to control read
and write access to that port.
Thus, if a RTU port has default access level 4, then only some of the local data registers can be read via that port.
Thus, by configuring all RTU ports in a network with access levels 1-5 (not access level 0), the network is then completely secure against unauthorized re-
configuration, and can only be reconfigured by an authorized user, after unlocking the RTU common port.
The system shall support operator access to multiple displays at one time, including split screens where the operator may view more than one process area at a
time. In addition, the system shall support unlimited use of pop-up displays for additional help or diagnostic information.
Access to all displays and to all command functions shall be based on the operators security level to protect against unauthorized use. The security level shall be
established during the operator sign-on procedure.
Visibility and operation of command buttons, symbols etc shall be controllable based up on the operators security level. The operator shall be able to have
access to context sensitive help at any time during operation of the system.
The operator shall be able to access multiple data sources/ items with a single tag name.
An operator shall be able to control a discrete point using an action command button. This control includes momentary on, momentary off, toggle on-off, set, and
reset.
The operator shall be able to use command buttons to adjust set points up and down on a percentage or absolute basis. Each request for increase or decrease shall
be evaluated against valid operating limits before allowing the adjustment.

INTRODUCTION
1.0 Preamble
CMWSSB, Chennai proposed to construct a 45MLD Capacity TTRO Plant at Kodungaiyur, Chennai.
For the purpose of designing the foundations, the responsibility of carrying out suitable soil investigation has been entrusted to M/s. Geo Mines
ENGINEERS, Chennai.
This report contains the field and laboratory test results along with Design computations and recommendations for suitable foundation systems.
CHAPTER-2
Four standard soil investigation boreholes were put. The equipment used and the methodology adopted to carry out the fieldwork is described below.
In the soil strata, the drilling operations have been carried out using special drill bits with direct mud circulation.
On the coarse grained samples, grain size distribution tests were conducted as per I.S.2720 (Part 4)-1985, to know the gradation characteristics and to
classify them. These results are presented in Tables 2.1 to 2.4.
Atterberg Limits were carried out on fine grained soil samples to evaluate the limits of different consistency states. Generally Liquid limits, Plastic limits
and Shrinkage Limits tests were conducted as per I.S.2720 (Part-5)-1985 and I.S.2720 (Part 6)-1972. On such type of soil strata encountered at the
investigation locations, such tests were conducted and the test results are presented in Tables 2.1 to 2.4.

SUB-SURFACE STRATIFICATION
3.0 Preamble
The sub surface stratification at borehole locations, with respect to foundation/geotechnical engineering application are derived based on the
visual identification, laboratory classification tests and field in-situ strength tests. Further, the strength parameters are estimated based on the in-
situ strength test results as per the following correlation.
* For Coarse Grained Samples, Ref. Fig.1, IS: 6403 to estimate Angle of Shearing Resistance.
* For Fine Grained Samples, Ref. Terzaghi & Peck, 1948, to estimate Unconfined Compressive Strength.
Ground water table was encountered at a depth of 2.50m below the existing ground level during the last week of November 2014.

CHAPTER-4
FOUNDATION SYSTEM
4.0 Preamble
The foundation system design is an interface between super structure and the sub soil bearing strata characteristics. A sound foundation system should
be safe against bearing strata shear response under the super structure load intensity. Similarly, the stability of the foundation system is governed by the
bearing strata deformation response under the super structure load intensity. In addition, as a combined system of super structure and foundation, the
overall stability is also governed by the super structure arrangement.
Considering the above aspects of foundation design, the suitable type of foundation system with respect to the sub soil conditions encountered at the
borehole locations is presented in the subsequent sections.
From field investigations, it can be observed that the sub-soil strata encountered at shallow depths are weak from both shear strength characteristics and
deformation consideration and hence cannot be considered as bearing strata for proposed impending loads from structure.
However, the sub-soil strata encountered up to the investigated depths can be considered as strata for providing friction against a structural element if
cast or driven in it.
For four different diameters, the safe load carrying capacities of 8.00m long bored cast-in-situ Friction Piles are computed and presented below which
can be adopted for foundation design purposes.

3 550 25 25
4 600 27 27
The computations of safe load carrying capacity for 450mm diameter and 8.00m long bored cast-in-situ Friction Piles are annexed to this report.
CHAPTER-5
1. Deep foundation system presented in Clause 4.2.1, Chapter-IV can be adopted for foundation design purposes.
2. Suitable pile load tests (as per I.S: 2911, part-IV) shall be performed to confirm the presented safe load carrying capacities.
3. Pile cap can be located at shallow depths provided that it has a provision of 0.30m thick well compacted CNS around to contain any swelling
pressure of highly plastic fine-grained soil encountered at shallow depths. (V.IMP)
4. If Highly plastic Fine-Grained Soil strata are encountered at shallow depths shall be in no case used for back-filling purposes.
5. Piles shall be grouped according to the column design load requirements.
6. Safe load carrying capacities of piles shall be limited to their structural capacities.
7. As the chlorides and sulphates present in water samples are within the permissible limits, no special steel or cement is recommended to be used for
foundation construction purposes.
