Conclusions of the Joint Meeting dated September 4, 2018
Based on the detailed discussion in a joint meeting of NTDC, OE & CET dated September 4, 2018, following actions were agreed upon;
1. CET shall revise geotechnical investigation reports for all the sections and incorporate above comments and submit to NTDC/OE for review.
2. The foundation design report for Pad & Chimney cannot be reviewed till the finalization and approval of geotechnical investigation reports.
3. Typical foundation design shall based upon soil profiles extracted from final geotechnical investigation reports.
4. During the meeting, confirmation of cement type for HVDC transmission from Section/Lot-1 to Section/Lot-8 was also discussed However, it was agreed that OE will able to review these after submission of revised geotechnical investigation reports.
