the existing tower block, the method of Micro Piling with nailing
work upto a depth of 10-12 mtrs is essential on both directions.
During the execution of nailing work, the excavation was done in
1.00mt depth in each stage and necessary shoring and strutting was
carried out against earth collapse at that point of time during the
course of excavation.
The above statement clearly states that the micro piling and nailing
work was not done for the safety of excavation or execution. It is
done purely for permanent protection of the existing tower block &
heavy traffic road and entirely on technical grounds as suggested by
Prof. B.R. Srinivas Murthy.
While doing excavation for micro piling and nailing works, the
payment for the work of shoring and strutting which was done
during stage wise excavation, were not paid because it is included in
the earth work excavation item.
The Micro piling and nailing is a specialized work, done after
discovery of the foundation level of the existing tower. At the time of
estimation and tender the foundation level of the nearby structure
was not known either to BDA officials or to the contractor. Hence it is
not right to expect contractor to imagine micro piling and nailing at
the time of tender. It is work arising as per the site condition
discovered after the award of work. Hence it is clearly constitute as
extra item and regulated accordingly.
