,5-,* DESCRIPTION This wor, (onsists of (onstru(tion of well foundation, ta,ing it down to the founding level through all ,inds of sub+strata, plugging the botto4, filling the inside of the well, plugging the top and providing a well (ap in a((ordan(e with the details shown on the drawing and as per these spe(ifi(ations, or as dire(ted by the !ngineer. In (ase of well foundations of siLe larger than '% 4 dia4eter, supple4ental (onstru(tion spe(ifi(ations will be ne(essary. ,5-5* GENERA+ '%&%.'. "ells 4ay have a (ir(ular, re(tangular, or #+shape in plan and 4ay (onsist of one, two or 4ore (o4part4ents in plan. The outer wall of the well is ,nown as well steining whi(h 4ay be (ellular. The pro(ess of ta,ing down the web to the founding level is ,nown as well sin,ing. 0fter rea(hing the founding level, the hollow inside the well, 9;dredge hole<: is plugged at the botto4 by (on(rete , 9;botto4 plug<:. The dredge hole is then .illed with approved filling upto the level indi(ated on the drawings and provided with a (on(rete plug 9;top plug<:. To fa(ilitate sin,ing of well, steel (utting edge is fabri(ated and, (onne(ted to a (on(rete well (urb of re>uired shape. 7n top of the well (urb, ade>uate height of well steining is (ast and the pro(ess of sin,ing is (arried out. 0fter a portion of the well has been sun,, another height of well steining is (ast on top of the previous se(tion, and further sin,ing (arried out. This pro(ess is (ontinued till the botto4 level of the well rea(hes the founding level. 0t the top of the well steining, an ade>uately designed ;well (ap< is laid whi(h trans4its the loads and for(es fro4 the sub+stru(ture 9piers or abut4ents: to the foundations. ,5-5*5* 0t least one bore+hole 4ust be available*(arried out in a((ordan(e with these spe(ifi(ations at ea(h well foundation lo(ation, `prior to (o44en(e4ent of wor,.

To verify this, it is advisable to (o4pare the volu4e of the spa(e to be filled by the in?e(ted grout with the >uantity of grout a(tually in?e(ted. Grouting should be (o44en(ed initially with a low pressure of in?e(tion of upto &.3 MPa in(reasing it until the grout (o4es out at the other end. The grout should be allowed to flow freely fro4 the other end until the (onsisten(y of the grout at this end is the sa4e as that of the grout at the in?e(tion end. "hen the grout flows at the other end, it should be (losed off and building up of pressure (o44en(ed. .ull in?e(tion pressure at about 7.6 MPa shall be 4aintained for at least one 4inute before (losing the in?e(tion pipe.

If there is a built up of pressure 4u(h in e@(ess of ' MPa without flow of grout (o4ing al the other end, the grouting operation should be dis(ontinued and the entire du(t flushed with high pressure water. 0lso, the bypass syste4 indi(ated in para 3.% above is essential for further safety.

2* PRECA(TIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTI)E GRO(TING a: In (old and frosty weather, in?e(tion should be postponed, unless spe(ial pre(autions are ta,en. If frost is li,ely to o((ur within B- hours after in?e(tion, heat 4ust be applied to the 4e4ber and 4aintained for at least B- hours after in?e(tion so that the te4perature of the grout does not fall below 5 degrees Celsius. Prior to (o44en(e4ent of grouting, (are 4ust be ta,en to ensure that the du(t is (o4pletely free of frost*i(e by flushing with war4 water, but not with stea4. b: The te4perature of the grout shall not e@(eed 2" degrees Celsius. .or in(reasing the wor,ability of grout, its te4perature 4ay be lowered by use of (hilled water or by putting i(e outside the grout storage (ontainer. (: "hen the (ables are threaded after (on(reting, the du(t 4ust be te4porarily stiffened during (on(reting by inserting bun(h of strands, wires or reinfor(e4ent or a rigid PCC pipe or any other suitable 4ethod. d: #uring (on(reting, (are shall be ta,en to ensure that the sheathing is not da4aged. eedle vibrators shall be used with e@tre4e (are by well

e@perien(ed staff only, to ensure against su(h da4age. e: It is a good pra(ti(e to 4ove the (ables in both dire(tions during the (on(reting operations. This (an easily be done by light ha44ering the ends of the wires* strands during (on(reting. It is also advisable that 3 to B hours after (on(reting the (able should be 4oved both ways through a distan(e of about %& (4s. "ith su(h 4ove4ent, any lea,age of 4ortar whi(h has ta,en pla(e in spite of all pre(autions loses bond with die (ables, thus redu(ing the (han(e of blo(,ages. This operation (an also be done by fi@ing prestressing ?a(,s, at one end pulling the entire (able and then repeating the operation by fi@ing the ?a(, at the other end. f: The (ables to be grouted should be separated by as 4u(h distan(e as possible. g: In (ase of stage prestressing, (ables tensioned in the first stage should not re4ain ungrouted till all (ables are stressed. It is good pra(ti(e, while grouting .any du(t in stage prestressing, to ,eep all the re4aining du(ts filled up with water (ontaining ' per (ent li4e or by running water through su(h du(ts till the grout has set. 0fter grouting the parti(ular (able, the water in the other (ables should be drained and re4oved with (o4pressed air to prevent (orrosion. h: Care should be ta,en to avoid lea,s fro4 one du(t to another at ?oints of pre(ast 4e4bers in parti(ular. i: !nd fa(es where an(horages are lo(ated are vulnerable points of entry of water. They have '& be ne(essarily prote(ted with an effe(tive barrier. Re(esses should be pa(,ed with 4ortar (on(rete and should preferably be painted with water proof paint. ?: 0fter grouting is (o4pleted, the pro?e(ting portion of the vents should be (ut off and the fa(e prote(ted to prevent (orrosion.
