3.5 Grouting once started shall be done quickly and continuously to prevent
segregation, bleeding and break down of initial set. Grout shall be worked from
one end to the other to prevent entrapment of air. To distribute the grout and to
ensure complete contact between base plate and foundation and to help release
entrapped air, link chains or doubled-over flexible steel strapping can be used to
work the grout in place.
3.6 The pressure to be used for grouting shall be as directed by the Purchaser.
3.7 Forms and shims shall not be removed and the anchor bolts shall not be
tightened for at least twenty-four hours after placing the grout. After the removal
of forms and shims, area occupied by shims shall be filled and the area between
the base and the edge of the foundation shall be finished smooth to allow
drainage away from the base. Interconnecting piping and machinery shall not be
attached to the machinery before anchor bolts are tightened. It is desirable to

by the Purchaser.
3.21 Measurement
Mode of measurement for grout work shall be in cubic metres as per dimensions
shown in drawings corrected to three decimal places i.e. the cubic content
between the top of the pedestal and bottom of base plate. No deductions shall
be made for anchor bolts, shim plates, etc and no extra payment made for
grouting of pockets/ sleeves.
4.2 The rate quoted by the Bidder for concrete works shall hold good for accurately
fixing the inserts at the correct levels/ alignment and shall include the cost of any
temporary supports/ anchors such as bars including cutting, bending, welding,
etc as required.
4.3 Steel templates shall be used by the Contractor to locate and very accurately
position bolts, groups of bolts, inserts, embedded parts, etc at his cost. Such
templates shall be got previously approved by the Purchaser. Templates shall
invariably be supported such that the same is not disturbed due to vibration,
movement of labourers, materials, shuttering work, reinforcement, etc while
concreting. The Contractor will have to suitably bend, cut or otherwise adjust the
reinforcement in concrete at the location of inserts, as directed by the
Purchaser. If the Purchaser so directs, the inserts will have to be welded to
reinforcement to keep these in place. The Contractor shall be responsible for the
accuracy of dimensions, levels, alignments and centre lines of the inserts in
accordance with the drawings and for maintenance of the same until the
erection of equipment/ structure or final acceptance by the Purchaser.
4.4 The Contractor shall ensure proper protection of all bolts, inserts, etc from
weather by greasing or other approved means such as applying white lead putty
and wrapping them with gunny bags or canvas or by other means as directed by
the Purchaser to avoid damage due to movement of his labourers, materials,
equipment, etc. No extra claim from the Contractor on this account shall be
entertained. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for all damage caused to
bolts, inserts, etc due to his negligence and in case damage does occur, they
shall be rectified to the satisfaction of the Purchaser at the Contractor's cost.
4.5 Cut-outs, chamfers, pockets, etc shall be left as indicated in the drawings and
no extra cost shall be payable for providing these at their correct locations. The
Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to protect the cut-outs from
accidentally getting filled up or the edges getting broken.
5.1 Cement concrete for Indian Patent Stone Floor finish shall be 40 mm thick and
the mix shall be in the proportion of 1:2:4 (1 cement : 2 sand : 4 stone
aggregates).
5.2 The sand shall consist of clean, hard, durable particles and shall be free from
impurities. It shall all pass through 4.75 mm mesh IS sieve and not more than
10% shall pass through a 300 micron IS sieve and not more than 5% shall pass
through a 150 micron sieve but shall be well graded within these limits.

5.3 The coarse aggregate shall consist of quality stones passing through a 10 mm
IS sieve with not more than 10% passing through a 4.75 mm IS sieve. The
aggregates shall be hard, durable, clean and free from any deleterious matter.
5.4 The concrete shall be of the driest consistency with which it is possible to work.
5.5 When the finish is to be laid monolithic with the base concrete, it shall be placed
within 1.1/2 hours of laying the base concrete, which at the time of placing the
topping shall be still plastic but sufficiently firm to withstand the weight of a man.
If there is any excess of water or laitance on the surface, it shall be removed.
5.6 When the finish is to be laid after the base concrete has hardened, the surface
must be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt and loose particles and then soaked with
water overnight.
5.7 Before placing the patent stone floor finish, a 1:1 cement sand grout shall be
thoroughly scrubbed into the prepared surface of the base concrete just ahead
of the finish.
5.8 The topping shall then be laid, very thoroughly tamped, struck off level and the
surface floated with a wooden float. The topping shall be as indicated on the
drawings. The surface shall be tested with a straight edge to detect any
unevenness in the surface and immediately made good.
5.9 When the topping is laid over hardened concrete, it shall be laid in alternate
bays not exceeding 3.4 sqm in area, the intermediate bays being laid after two
days. The forms used, which come in contact with concrete, shall be suitably
smeared with soap solution or non-staining oil before concreting. The topping
shall have butt joints between bays and shall butt against the masonry walls,
which shall not be plastered.
5.10 After the topping has hardened sufficiently to prevent aggregate particles from
being displaced and excess of fine materials from working to the surface,
finishing with steel trowel shall be commenced. This operation shall be
performed with heavy pressure to produce a dense, smooth, watertight surface
free from blemishes.
5.11 On no account shall wet cement or dry cement and sand mixture be sprinkled
over the surface with the object of absorbing the excess moisture, for hastening
the time of trowelling or for obtaining a smooth surface.
5.12 Immediately after the floor surface is finished, it shall be protected from rapid
drying and as soon as the surface has hardened sufficiently to prevent damage
to it, it shall be kept continuously moist for at least ten days.

5.13 The measurement shall be done in square metre correct to two places of
decimal of the area of floor finish.
6.1 General
The work shall be done in accordance with IS: 456 / IS: 10297. However, the
provisions of this specification shall take precedence over the provisions of the
Codes of Practice.
6.3.1 The Contractor shall carefully plan his work in minute detail covering all stages
of construction. Before the erection work starts, the casting yard should have
been completed and should be in a smooth working order. It should be well laid
out and so planned that work on any unit shall not affect the work on adjacent
units. Adequate weather protection should also be provided.
6.3.2 Working details of erection method, devices, attachments, etc shall be worked
out well in advance and got approved by the Purchaser. It shall be clearly
understood that the Contractor shall be entirely responsible for the planning and
safety, timely and successful completion of the work. His responsibility in this
regard shall not be absolved by the approval by the Purchaser to any of the
Contractor's planning methods, suggestions, details, etc.
6.3.3 The Contractor shall submit to the Purchaser a detailed drawing including a
write-up clearly specifying his layout plan and details of casting yard, curing
pond, method of casting, storing and handling the pre-cast units. He shall further
submit from time to time such additional details as may be called for by the
Purchaser.
6.3.4 The pre-cast units shall be cast near the work site within the plant area by the
Contractor. Costs of transporting, loading, unloading, damage in handling, etc
shall be included in the tendered unit rates and will not be paid for separately by
the Purchaser.
6.4 Moulds
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 11 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
6.4.2 The Contractor shall have enough number of moulds for each type of unit
proposed. This shall be carefully worked out to the satisfaction of the Purchaser
duly considering deshuttering period, number of units to be cast, time schedule,
etc. If at any stage the Purchaser considers that additional moulds are required,
the same shall be immediately provided by the Contractor at no extra cost.
6.4.3 The number of re-uses to be permitted for any type of mould shall be decided by
the Purchaser and shall be binding on the Contractor. For steel moulds, more
than 45 uses will not be permitted.
6.4.4 Bond preventive, which does not discolour the surfaces and which is approved
by Purchaser may be used on the mould surface. Easy removal of the flat units
may not still be possible due to the "suction" created by the differential
atmospheric pressure. Air or water forced between the casting and the mould
equalises the pressures and destroys the "suction", and for this purpose, air
chambers may be provided by the Contractor at the centre of the mould,
connected by means of suitable pipes to a compressed air source.
6.4.5 The mould shall have provisions to hold firmly and maintain all projecting
reinforcement or other inter-connecting devices together with bolts, fixing blocks,
etc so that they are within the specified tolerances on completion. All inserts, etc
shall be checked as per drawing before erecting the pre-cast units.
6.4.6 The method of fixing and holding the inserts (required for lifting, joint
connections, etc) in their correct location during concreting, shall be carefully
planned. Through ties will not be permitted.
6.5.1 The moulds shall be so constructed that each finished unit has the exact
dimensions shown on approved drawings within the tolerances as to the length,
cross sections, straightness or bow, squareness, length of shorter sides, twist,
flatness and the position of reinforcement and inserts, mentioned herein below:
6.5.2 Length
Up to 3m : 6 mm
3 m to 4.5 m : 9 mm
4.5 m to 6 m : 12 mm
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 12 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
Up to 50 cm : 6 mm
50 cm to 75 cm : 9 mm
Additional for every
subsequent 25 cm : 3 mm
Up to 3m : 6 mm
3 m to 6 m : 9 mm
6 m to 12 m : 12 mm
Additional for every
subsequent 6 m : 6 mm
6.5.5 Squareness
When considering the squareness of a corner, the longer of the two adjacent
sides being checked should be taken as the base line. The shorter side should
not vary in its distance from a perpendicular by more than the following length of
shorter sides:
For the purpose of this requirement, any error due to lack of straightness should
be ignored; squareness should be measured with respect to the straight lines,
which are most nearly parallel with the features being checked.
6.5.6 Twist
Any corner should not be out by more than the tolerance stated from the plane
containing the other three corners
Up to 60 cm wide and
Up to 6 m in length : 6 mm
6.5.7 Flatness
The maximum deviation from a 1.5m straight edge placed in any position on
nominally plane surface should not exceed 6 mm.
Tolerance for the position of reinforcement shall not exceed those specified in
the drawing, or those below, whichever are smaller:
(a) Cover - the actual concrete cover to all steel at any point should not be
smaller than the required nominal cover by more than 3 mm.
(b) The effective depth of fully or nearly fully stressed tensile reinforcement
should not be less than that given on the drawings by an amount exceeding
5% of the effective depth of the section being considered or 6 mm,
whichever is greater.
If and where proposed, the position of individual connecting bolts, bolt holes,
projecting steel or other devices in any associate group (e.g.: joint of two pre-
cast units) should be within 3 mm of its true position in the group in which they
are cast. The longitudinal location of any such group should be within 6 mm of
its true position in the unit in which it is cast, provided that such tolerance does
no adversely affect the proper assembly of the whole structure.
6.6.1 Reinforcement shall be placed and maintained in position within the specified
tolerance. Where practicable, the reinforcement shall be pre-formed into rigid
cages, spot welding being permissible for this purpose. Where welded wire
fabric is proposed, the mesh shall be bent to shape before placing in the mould.
Care shall be taken in assembling the cage because the tolerances for placing
are quite small. Where tying wire or clips are used, care shall be taken to ensure
that the projecting ends do not encroach into the concrete cover.
6.6.2 Provisions shall be made to ensure that the reinforcements are maintained in
their correct position during concreting. Spacer blocks made of mortar
comparable in strength and durability with main concrete shall be used to have
uniform and required cover. Other kinds of spacers shall be subject to approval
by the Purchaser.
6.7.1 The moulds must be thoroughly cleaned of all rubbish before concrete is placed.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 14 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
6.7.2 Any means, which will mechanically distribute the concrete, is satisfactory. The
vibration shall be done by internal vibrations or a surface vibrator approved by
Purchaser.
6.7.3 The method of placing concrete shall conform to specification for "Concrete &
Allied Works".
A perfect and smooth finish shall be achieved by the use of high quality concrete
and by using properly designed moulds having a hard, smooth surface. The
concrete surfaces shall be smooth and even. Only very minor surface blemishes
may occur and there should be no staining or decolouration from the bond
preventive. Minor surface defects shall be made good, subject to the approval of
the Purchaser, provided the strength, durability and appearance are not
impaired by such defects.
Each unit shall be clearly marked. The code shall include a letter identifying the
type of casting, the mould number, the casting date and a directional mark for
orientation during erection.
6.10.1 The side shuttering may be removed 24 hours after casting. The casting can be
lifted from the mould after the concrete has attained sufficient strength to take
lifting and handling stresses depending on the self weight and method of
handling. Generally, the bottom shutter may be removed 7 days after casting.
However, the Purchaser may permit earlier removal, if he is convinced that no
damage will be caused to the casting by taking special care during handling.
However, the Purchaser may also require the de-shuttering periods to be
extended if he is not satisfied with the product and considers such extension
desirable.
6.10.2 All moulds shall be removed without any shock, jolt or vibration that might
damage the concrete and cause cracking.
6.11 Curing
6.11.1 Curing of concrete shall start as soon as the concrete has sufficiently set, even if
the castings have not been removed from the moulds. The surfaces should not,
however be ponded during the first 24 hours.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 15 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
6.11.2 There should be two storage/ curing areas, one under cover and one in the
open air. The covered area may be erected by tarpaulin supported on a light
frame-work and should be large enough to contain the output of the casting yard
for a period of six days.
6.11.3 The method of curing should be such that the pre-cast unit will remain
undistorted, be free from cracks, and will not cause, by its shrinkage undue
cracking in the structure into which it is to be built and that the concrete will have
satisfactory durability and strength.
6.11.4 The general method of curing in the covered shed will be to cover the entire
surface of the castings with damp hessian, canvas, gunny bags or similar
absorbent material kept constantly damp. Alternatively, a curing pond may be
used. If the products are stacked in tiers, it is necessary to ensure that as much
as possible surface of the concrete is thoroughly wetted. The castings may
preferably be covered, after dampening, by an impermeable sheet like
polythene, to retain the moisture escaping from the concrete.
6.11.6 After six days under cover the products shall be kept moist in the open for a
further period of 4 days.
6.11.7 The Purchaser may require the curing period extended if the concrete is to be
stored under abnormal conditions or is likely to suffer distortion or cracking from
differences in temperature, moisture content or restrain within the concrete.
6.12 Storage
6.12.1 The products shall be stored for at least three weeks before erection.
6.12.2 They may be stored in a vertical position supported by an `A' frame. If stored in
horizontal position, they should rest on proper packing both on the ground as
well as between castings. Particular attention is directed to the inherent dangers
of breakage and damage caused by supporting on other than two positions and
also by careless placing of packing (e.g.: not vertically one above the other).
Packing pieces should not discolour, disfigure or otherwise permanently mark
the units. Units should also be properly protected against damage being caused
by the local crushing and chafing effects of lifting and transport equipment.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 16 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
6.12.3 Whatever the type of storing adopted, the castings should be placed on a level
and rigid bed, otherwise they are liable to distort or crack. The storage shall be
so arranged as to permit the removal of the oldest castings without disturbing
others. During handling, care shall be taken to avoid damage by shock loading,
at all stages and from whatever cause.
6.13 Protection
6.13.1 At all stages and until completion of the work, pre-cast units and any other
concrete associated therewith should be properly protected. This is particularly
important in the case of thin units. The protection can be provided by timber
strips, hessian, etc but must not be such as will damage, mark or otherwise
disfigure the concrete.
6.13.2 The Contractor shall perform quality control tests covering the entire process of
manufacture and keep records certified by the Purchaser.
6.14.1 In addition to the quality concrete tests prescribed in Concrete and allied works
specification, load tests shall be carried out on pre-cast elements as indicated
below.
6.14.2 At least 1% of the number of pre-cast units in each type shall be tested either to
destruction or for test loads to be specified later as the case may be.
Pre-cast member shall be loaded for one hour at its full span with a load equal
to full dead load (weight of screed and finishes) plus 1.25 times the live load
considered in the design. Recovery, one hour after removal of test load, should
not be less than 75% of the maximum deflection recorded during the test or (if
this cannot be achieved) of the maximum deflection during a re-test.
Pre-cast member shall be loaded at its full span with a total load of 95% of the
design ultimate load within 15 minutes of time when this test becomes operative.
A deflection exceeding 1/40th of the test span shall be regarded as failure.
6.14.5 Before starting of the test, the Contractor shall submit a detailed note on
procedure of testing, manner of application of the loads, position of instruments,
supporting stands, etc and obtain Purchaser's approval in writing. Provision
shall also be made for safety posts between the bearing supports in the event of
a sudden collapse of the member under test. The height of bearing supports
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D1
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 17 OF 22
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
shall be at least 1.0 metre to ensure free access to the lower surface of the
member to be tested.
6.14.6 Load tests shall be carried out in the presence of the Purchaser or his
authorised representative. Purchaser shall have right to select any unit for
testing.
6.14.7 In the event of specimen not fulfilling the test conditions, Purchaser shall select
another sample from the batch and order for testing. If the second specimen
also does not fulfil the test conditions, Purchaser shall have right to reject the
entire batch of the pre-cast units and in such case the total cost of pre-cast units
in that batch including reinforcements and steel embedment shall be recovered
from the Contractor. However, cement and steel consumed shall be taken in
accounting as wastage.
6.14.8 Quoted rates in "Schedule of Quantities" for pre-cast members shall be deemed

shall duly preserve the same to the satisfaction of the Owner/Purchaser and
from time to time deliver the same to such person or persons as the
Owner/Purchaser may from time to time authorise or appoint to receive the
same.
7.0 CLASSIFICATION
7.1 All materials to be excavated shall be classified by the Purchaser, into one of
the following classes and shall be paid for at the rate tendered for that
particular class of material. No distinction shall be made whether the material is
dry, moist or wet. The decision of the Purchaser regarding the classification of
the material shall be final and binding on the Contractor and not be a subject
matter of any appeal or arbitration.
7.2 Any earthwork will be classified under any of the following categories:
(a) Ordinary and Hard Soils
These shall include all kinds of soils containing kankar, sand, silt, murrum
and/ or shingle, gravel, clay, loam, peat, ash, shale, etc which can generally
be excavated by spade, pick axes and shovel, and which is not classified
under "Soft and Decomposed Rock" and "Hard Rock" defined below. This
shall also include embedded rock boulders not longer than 1 metre in any
one direction and not more than 200 mm in any one of the other two
directions.

(c) Hard Rock
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D2
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 4 OF 10
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
This shall include all rock occurring in large continuous masses which
cannot be removed except by blasting for loosening it. Harder varieties of
rock with or without veins and secondary minerals which, in the opinion of
the Purchaser require blasting shall be considered as hard rock. Boulders
of rock occurring in such sizes and not classified under (a) and (b) above
shall also be classified as hard rock. Concrete work both reinforced and
unreinforced to be dismantled will be measured under this item, unless a
separate provision is made in the Schedule of Quantities.
8.0 EXCAVATION
8.1 All excavation work shall be carried out by mechanical equipment unless, in the
opinion of the Purchaser, the work involved and time schedule permit manual
work.
8.2 Excavation for permanent work shall be taken out to such widths, lengths,
depths and profiles as are shown on the drawings or such other lines and
grades as may be specified by the Purchaser. Rough excavation shall be
carried out to a depth 150 mm above the final level. The balance shall be
excavated with special care. Soft pockets shall be removed even below the
final level and extra excavation filled up as directed by the Purchaser. The final
excavation if so instructed by the Purchaser should be carried out just prior to
laying the mud mat.
8.3 The Contractor may, for facility of work or similar other reasons excavate, and
also backfill later, if so approved by the Purchaser, at his own cost outside the
lines shown on the drawings or directed by the Purchaser. Should any
excavation be taken below the specified elevations, the Contractor shall fill it
up, with concrete of the same class as in the foundation resting thereon, up to
the required elevation. No extra shall be claimed by the Contractor on this
account.
8.4 All excavation shall be done to the minimum dimensions as required for safety
and working facility. Prior approval of the Purchaser shall be obtained by the
Contractor in each individual case, for the method he proposes to adopt for the
excavation, including dimensions, side slopes, dewatering, disposal, etc. This
approval, however, shall not in any way relieve the Contractor of his
responsibility for any consequent loss or damage. The excavation must be
carried out in the most expeditious and efficient manner. Side slopes shall be
as steep as will stand safely for the actual soil conditions encountered. Every
precaution shall be taken to prevent slips. If slips occur, the slipped material
shall be removed and the slope dressed to a modified stable slope. Removal of
the slipped earth will not be paid for if the slips are due to the negligence of the
Contractor.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D2
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 5 OF 10
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
8.5 Excavation shall be carried out with such tools, tackles and equipments as
described herein before. Blasting or other methods may be resorted to in the
case of hard rock; however not without the specific permission of the
Purchaser.
8.6 The Purchaser may also direct that in some extreme case, the rock may be
excavated by heating and sudden quenching for splitting the rock. Fire-wood
shall be used for burning and payment shall be made for such work as called
for in the schedule of quantities.
9.1 All loose boulders, semi-detached rocks (along with earthy stuff which might
move therewith) not directly in the excavation but so close to the area to be
excavated as to be liable, in the opinion of the Purchaser, to fall or otherwise
endanger the workmen, equipment, or the work, etc shall be stripped off and
removed away from the area of the excavation. The method used shall be such
as not to shatter or render unstable or unsafe the portion which was originally
sound and safe.
9.2 Any material not requiring removal as contemplated in the work, but which, in
the opinion of the Purchaser, is likely to become loose or unstable later, shall
also be promptly and satisfactorily removed as directed by the Purchaser. The
cost of such stripping will be paid for at the unit rates accepted for the class of
materials in question.
10.1 General
All fill material will be subject to the Purchaser's approval. If any material is
rejected by the Purchaser, the Contractor shall remove the same forthwith from
the site at no extra cost to the Purchaser. Surplus fill material shall be
deposited/ disposed off as directed by the Purchaser after the fill work is
completed.
No earth-fill shall commence until surface water discharges and streams have
been properly intercepted or otherwise dealt with as directed by the Purchaser.
10.2 Material
To the extent available, selected surplus soils from excavated materials shall
be used as backfill. Fill material shall be free from clods, salts, sulphates,
organic or other foreign material. All clods of earth shall be broken or removed.
Where excavated material is mostly rock, the boulders shall be broken into
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D2
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 6 OF 10
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
pieces not larger than 150 mm size, mixed with properly graded fine material
consisting of murrum or earth to fill up the voids and the mixture used for filling.
10.3 If any selected fill material is required to be borrowed, the Contractor shall
make arrangements for bringing such material from outside borrow pits. The
material and source shall be subject to prior approval of the Purchaser. The
approved borrow pit area shall be cleared of all bushes, roots of trees, plants,
rubbish, etc top soil containing salts/ sulphates and other foreign material shall
be removed. The materials so removed shall be burnt or disposed off as
directed by the Purchaser. The Contractor shall make necessary access roads
to borrow areas and maintain the same, if such access road does not exist, at
his cost.
10.4 Filling in pits and trenches around foundations of structures, walls etc
As soon as the work in foundations has been accepted and measured, the
spaces around the foundations, structures, pits, trenches etc shall be cleared of
all debris, and filled with earth in layers not exceeding 15 cm., each layer being
watered, rammed and properly consolidated, before the succeeding one is laid.
Each layer shall be consolidated to the satisfaction of the Purchaser. Earth
shall be rammed with approved mechanical compaction machines. Usually no
manual compaction shall be allowed unless the Purchaser is satisfied that in
some cases manual compaction by tampers cannot be avoided. The final
backfill surface shall be trimmed and levelled to proper profile as directed by
the Purchaser or indicated on the drawings.
Plinth filling shall be carried out with approved material as described herein
before in layers not exceeding 15 cm, watered and compacted with mechanical
compaction machines. The Purchaser may however permit manual compaction
by hand tampers in case he is satisfied that mechanical compaction is not
possible. When filling reaches the finished level, the surface shall be flooded
with water, unless otherwise directed, for at least 24 hours allowed to dry and
then the surface again compacted as specified above to avoid settlements at a
later stage. The finished level of the filling shall be trimmed to the level/ slope
specified.
Where specified in the schedule of works, compaction of the plinth fill shall be
carried out by means of 12 tonne rollers smooth wheeled, sheep-foot or wobbly
wheeled rollers. In case of compaction of granular material such as sand and
gravel, vibratory rollers shall be used. A smaller weight roller may be used only
if permitted by the Purchaser. As rolling proceed water sprinkling shall be done
to assist consolidation. Water shall not be sprinkled in case of sandy fill.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D2
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 7 OF 10
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
Rolling shall commence from the outer edge and progress towards the centre
and continue until compaction is to the satisfaction of the Purchaser, but in no
case less than 10 passes of the roller will be accepted for each layer.
At some locations/ areas it may not be possible to use rollers because of space
restrictions etc, the Contractor shall then be permitted to use pneumatic
tampers; rammers etc and he shall ensure proper compaction.
At places backfilling shall be carried out with local sand if directed by the
Purchaser. The sand used shall be clean, medium grained and free from
impurities. The filled-in-sand shall be kept flooded with water for 24 hours to
ensure maximum consolidation. Any temporary work required to contain sand
under flooded condition shall be to the Contractor's account. The surface of the
consolidated sand shall be dressed to required level or slope. Construction of
floors or other structures on sand fill shall not be started until the Purchaser has
inspected and approved the fill.
Filling in trenches for pipes and drains shall be commenced as soon as the
joints of pipes and drains have been tested and passed. The backfilling
material shall be properly consolidated by watering and ramming, taking due
care that no damage is caused to the pipes.
Where the trenches are excavated in soil, the filling from the bottom of the
trench to the level of the centreline of the pipe shall be done by hand
compaction with selected approved earth in layers not exceeding 8 cm;
backfilling above the level of the centreline of the pipe shall be done with
selected earth by hand compaction or other approved means in layers not
exceeding 15 cm.
Filling of the trenches shall be carried simultaneously on both sides of the pipe
to avoid unequal pressure on the pipe.
11.1 Site grading shall be carried out as indicated in the drawings and as directed by
the Purchaser. Excavation shall be carried out as specified in the specification.
Filling and compaction shall be carried out as specified under Clause 10.0 and
elsewhere unless otherwise indicated below.
11.2 If no compaction is called for, the fill may be deposited to the full height in one
operation and levelled. If the fill has to be compacted, it shall be placed in
layers not exceeding 225 mm and levelled uniformly and compacted as
indicated in Clause 10.0 before the next layer is deposited.
11.3 To ensure that the fill has been compacted as specified, field and laboratory
tests shall be carried out by the Contractor at his cost.
11.4 Field compaction test shall be carried out at different stages of filling and also
after the fill to the entire height has been completed. This shall hold good for
embankments as well.
11.5 The Contractor shall protect the earth fill from being washed away by rain/
damaged in any other way. If any slip occurs, the Contractor shall remove the
affected material and make good the slip at his cost.
11.6 The fill shall be carried out to such dimensions and levels as indicated on the
drawings after the stipulated compaction. The fill will be considered as
incomplete if the desired compaction has not been obtained.
11.8 If so specified, the rock as obtained from excavation may be used for filling and
levelling for indicated grades without further breaking. In such an event, filling
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D2

Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
The compaction, only where so called for, in the schedule of quantities/ items
shall comply with the specified (Standard Proctor/ Modified Proctor) density at
moisture content differing not more than 4 percent from the optimum moisture
content. The Contractor shall demonstrate adequately at his cost, by field and
laboratory tests that the specified density has been obtained.
13.0 LEAD
14.1 All excavation shall be measured net. Dimensions for purpose of payment shall
be reckoned on the horizontal area of the excavation at the base for
foundations of the walls, columns, footings, tanks, rafts or other foundations/
structures to be built, multiplied by the mean depth from the surface of the
ground in accordance with the drawings. Excavation in side slopes will not be
paid for. The Contractor may make such allowance in his rates to provide for
excavation in side slopes keeping in mind the nature of the soil and safety of
excavation. Reasonable working space, beyond concrete dimensions and
shuttering where considered necessary in the opinion of the Purchaser will be
allowed in excavation and considered for payment. However, if concreting is
proposed against the excavated sides, no such over-excavation will be
permitted. In such cases over-excavation shall be made good by the Contractor
with concrete of the same class as in the foundations at his cost.

14.2 Unless otherwise specified, the unit rates quoted for excavation in different
types of material shall also account for a basic lead of 100 metres for disposal
as specified or directed. Only leads beyond the basic lead of 100 metres will be
considered as extra lead and paid for at the rates quoted in the schedules.
14.4 Payment for fill inside trenches, plinth or similar filling with selected excavated
material will be made for only compaction as specified/ directed. Cost of all
other operations shall be deemed to have been covered in the rate quoted for
excavation. Payment for this work will be made based on measurement of
plinth/ trench dimensions filled. The plinth ground levels shall be surveyed
before hand for this purpose. If no compaction is specified/ desired, such filling
will not be separately paid for. In such an event the fill shall be levelled/ finished
to the profile as directed at no extra cost.
14.5 Backfilling, plinth filling, etc with borrowed earth will be paid for at rates quoted.
The quoted rate shall include all operations such as clearing, excavation, lead
and transport, fill, compaction, etc as specified. Actual quantity of consolidated
filling or actual quantity or excavation in the borrow pits (less such top soil
which has been excavated and not used for filling) whichever is less shall be
measured and paid for in cubic metres. The lead, lift, etc shall be as indicated
in the schedule of quantities.
14.6 Actual quantity of consolidated sand filling shall be measured and paid in cubic
metres.

TIMBER SHORING
1.0 SCOPE
2.0 Close timbering shall be done by completely covering the sides of the trenches
and pits generally with short, upright members called 'polling boards'. These
shall be of minimum 25 cm x 4 cm sections or as directed by Engineer. The
boards shall generally be placed in position vertically side by side without any
gap on each side of the excavation and shall be secured by horizontal walling
of strong wood at maximum 1.2 metres spacing, strutted with ballies or as
directed by Engineer. The length of the ballie struts shall depend on the width
of the trench or pit. If the soil is very soft and loose, the boards shall be placed
horizontally against each side of the excavation and supported by vertical
waling, which in turn shall be suitably strutted. The lowest boards supporting
the sides shall be taken into the ground and no portion of the vertical side of
the trench or pit shall remain exposed, so as to render the earth liable to slip
out.
2.1 Timber shoring shall be 'close' or 'open' type, depending on the nature of soil
and the depth of pit or trench. The type of timbering shall be as approved by
Engineer. It shall be the responsibility of Contractor to take all necessary steps
to prevent the sides of excavations, trenches, pits, etc from collapsing.
2.2 Timber shoring may be required to keep the sides of excavations vertical to
ensure safety of adjoining structures or to limit the slope of excavations or due
to space restrictions or for other reasons. Such shoring shall be carried out,
except in an emergency, only under instructions from Engineer.
2.3 The withdrawal of the timber shall be done very carefully to prevent the
collapse of the pit or trench. It shall be started at one end and proceeded with
systematically to the other end. Concrete or masonry shall not be damaged
during the removal of the timber. No claim shall be entertained for any timber
which cannot be withdrawn and is lost or buried.
2.4 In the case of open timbering, the entire surface of the side of trench or pit in
not required to be covered. The vertical boards of minimum 25 cm x 4 cm
sections shall be spaced sufficiently apart to leave unsupported strips of
maximum 50 cm average width. The detailed arrangement, sizes of the timber
and the spacing shall be subjected to the approval of Engineer. In all other
respects, specification for close timbering shall apply to open timbering.
2.5 In case of large pits and open excavations, where shoring is required for
securing safety of adjoining structures or for any other reasons and where the
planking for sides of excavations/ pits cannot be strutted against, suitable
inclined struts supported on the excavated bed shall be provided. Load from
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D3

such struts shall be suitably distributed on the bed to ensure no yielding of the
strut. If, however, Engineer directs any timbering to be left-in, keeping in mind
the type of construction or any other factor, Contractor shall be paid for at the
scheduled item-rate for such left-in timbering.
3.0 MEASUREMENT
DEWATERING
1.0 SCOPE
2.0 DEWATERING
2.1. All excavations shall be kept free of water. Grading in the vicinity of excavation
shall be properly closed to prevent surface water running into excavated areas.
Contractor shall remove by pumping or other means approved by Engineer,
any water inclusive of rain water and subsoil water accumulated in excavation
and shall keep all excavations dewatered until the foundation work is
completed and backfilled. Sumps made for dewatering must be kept clear of

8.12 CONTRACTOR shall provide adequate props of adjustable steel pipes carried
down to a firm bearing without overloading any of the structures.
8.13 The shuttering for beams and slabs shall be so erected that the side shuttering
of beams can be removed without disturbing the bottom shuttering. If the
shuttering for a column is erected for the full height of the column, one side
shall be built up in sections as placing of concrete proceeds or windows left for
placing concrete from the side to limit the drop of concrete to 1.0 m or as
directed by ENGINEER. CONTRACTOR shall temporarily and securely fix
items to be cast (embedments/ inserts) in a manner that will not hinder the
striking of forms or permit loss of grout.
8.14 Formwork showing excessive distortion, during any stage of construction, shall
be removed. Placed concrete affected by faulty formwork, shall be entirely
removed and formwork corrected prior to placement of new concrete at
CONTRACTORs cost.
8.15 The striking time for formwork shall be determined based on the following

shapes shown on the drawings/ schedules or as directed by ENGINEER.
9.3 Re-bending or straightening incorrectly bent bars shall not be done without
approval of ENGINEER.
9.4 Reinforcement shall be accurately fixed and maintained firmly in the correct
position by the use of blocks, spacers, chairs, binding wire, etc to prevent
displacement during placing and compaction of concrete. The tied in place
reinforcement shall be approved by ENGINEER prior to concrete placement.
Spacers shall be of such materials and design as will be durable, not lead to
corrosion of the reinforcement and not cause spalling of the concrete cover.
9.5 Binding wire shall be 16 gauge soft annealed wires. Ends of the binding wire
shall be bent away from the concrete surface and in no case encroach into the
concrete cover.
10.0 TOLERANCES
10.1 Tolerance for formed and concrete dimensions shall be as per IS: 456 unless
specified otherwise.
10.2 Tolerance specified for horizontal or vertical building lines or footings shall not
be construed to permit encroachment beyond the legal boundaries.

be cleaned and mould oil applied, inserts and reinforcement shall be correctly
positioned and securely held; necessary openings, pockets, etc provided.
12.1 Concrete shall be transported from the mixing plant to the formwork with
minimum time lapse by methods that shall maintain the required workability
and will prevent segregation, loss of any ingredients or ingress of foreign
matter or water.
12.2 In all cases concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practicable directly in its
final position. To avoid segregation, concrete shall not be re-handled or caused
to flow. For locations where direct placement is not possible and in narrow
forms, CONTRACTOR shall provide suitable drops and Elephant Trunks.
Concrete shall not be dropped form a height of more than 1.0 m as stipulated in
clause 8.13.
12.3 Concrete shall not be placed in flowing water. Under water, concrete shall be
placed in position by tremies or by pipeline from the mixer and shall never be
allowed to fall freely through the water.
12.4 While placing concrete the CONTRACTOR shall proceed as specified below
and also ensure the following:
c) Without disturbance to pipes, ducts, fixings and the like to be cast in;
ensure that such items are securely fixed. Ensure that concrete cannot
enter open ends of pipes and conduits, etc.
e) In deep pours only when the concrete and formwork is designed for this
purpose and by using suitable chutes or pipes.
h) If placed directly onto hardcore or any other porous material, dampen the
surface to reduce loss of water from the concrete.
12.5 Concrete shall normally be compacted in its final position within thirty minutes
of leaving the mixer. Concrete shall be compacted during placing with
approved vibrating equipment without causing segregation until it forms a solid
mass free from voids thoroughly worked around reinforcement and embedded
fixtures and into all corners of the formwork. Immersion vibrators shall be
inserted vertically at points not more than 450 mm apart and withdrawn slowly
till air bubbles cease to come to the surface, leaving no voids. When placing
concrete in layers advancing horizontally, care shall be taken to ensure
adequate vibration, blending and melding of the concrete between successive
layers. Vibrators shall not be allowed to come in contact with reinforcement,
formwork and finished surfaces after start of initial set. Over-vibration shall be
avoided.
12.7 Except when placing with slip forms, each placement of concrete in multiple lift,
work shall be allowed to set for at least 24 hours after the final set of concrete
before the start of subsequent placement. Placing shall stop when concrete
reaches the top of the opening in walls or bottom surface of slab, in slab and
beam construction, and it shall be resumed before concrete takes initial set but
not until it has had time to settle as determined by ENGINEER. Concrete shall
be protected against damage until final acceptance.
14.0 CURING
14.1 Curing and protection shall start immediately after the compaction of the
concrete to protect it from:
f) Vibration and impact which may disrupt the concrete and interfere with its
bond to the reinforcement.
14.2 All concrete, unless directed otherwise by ENGINEER, shall be cured by use of
continuous sprays or ponded water or continuously saturated coverings of
sacking, canvas, hessian or other absorbent material for the period of complete
hydration with a minimum of 7 days. The quality of curing water shall be the
same as that used for mixing.
14.3 Where a curing membrane is directed to be used by the ENGINEER, the same
shall be of a non-wax base and shall not impair the concrete finish in any
manner. The curing compound to be used shall be got approved from the
ENGINEER before use and shall be applied with spraying equipment capable
of a smooth, even textured coat.
14.4 Curing may also be done by covering the surface with an impermeable material
such as polyethylene, which shall be well sealed and fastened.
14.5 Extra precautions shall be exercised in curing concrete during cold and hot
weather.
15.2 Dowels for concrete work, not likely to be taken up in the near future, shall be
coated with cement slurry and encased in lean concrete as indicated on the
drawings or as directed by ENGINEER.
15.3 Before resuming concreting on a surface which has hardened all laitance and
loose stone shall be thoroughly removed by wire brushing/ hacking and surface
washed with high pressure water jet and treated with thin layer of cement slurry
for vertical joints and a 15 mm thick layer of cement sand mortar for horizontal
layers, the ratio of cement and sand being the same as in the concrete mix.
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D6
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 19 OF 28
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
15.4 When concreting is to be resumed on a surface which has not fully hardened,
all laitance shall be removed by wire brushing, the surface wetted, free water
removed and a coat of cement slurry applied. On this a layer of concrete not
exceeding 150 mm thickness shall be placed and well rammed against the old
work. Thereafter work shall proceed in the normal way.
16.1 All earth surfaces upon which or against which concrete is to be placed, shall
be well compacted and free from standing water, mud or debris. Soft or spongy
area shall be cleaned out and back filled with either soil-cement mixture, lean
concrete or clean sand compacted as directed by ENGINEER. The surfaces of
absorptive soils shall be moistened.
16.2 Concrete shall not be deposited on large sloping rock surfaces. The rock shall
be cut to form rough steps or benches by picking, barring or wedging. The rock
surface shall be kept wet for 2 to 4 hours before concreting.
17.0 FINISHES
17.1 General
The formwork for concrete works shall be such as to give the finish as
specified. The CONTRACTOR shall make good as directed any unavoidable
defects consistent with the type of concrete and finish specified; defects due to
bad workmanship (e.g.: damaged or misaligned forms, defective or poorly
compacted concrete) will not be accepted. CONTRACTOR shall construct the
formwork using the correct materials and to meet the requirements of the
design and to produce finished concrete of required dimensions, plumbs,
planes and finishes.
This type of finish shall be for non-exposed concrete surfaces against which
back fill or concrete is to be placed. The main requirement is that of dense, well
compacted concrete. No treatment is required except repair of defective areas,
filling all form tie holes and cleaning up of loose or adhering debris. For
surfaces below grade which will receive waterproofing treatment the concrete
shall be free of surface irregularities which would interfere with proper and
effective application of waterproofing material specified for use.
This type of finish shall be for all concrete work which will be exposed to view
upon completion of the job. The appearance shall be that of a smooth dense,
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D6
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 20 OF 28
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
This type of finish shall be for concrete work which will be exposed to view but
to give an appearance of smooth, dense, well-compacted concrete with no
shutter marks, stain free and with no dis-colourisation, blemishes, arises, air
holes, etc. Only lined or coated plywood with very tight joints shall be used to
achieve this finish. The panel size shall be uniform and as large as practicable.
Any minor blemishes that might occur shall be made good by CONTRACTOR.
In all cases where integral cement finish on a concrete floor has been
specified, the top layer of concrete shall be screeded off to proper level and
tamped with tamper having conical projections so that the aggregate shall be
forced below the surface. The surface shall be finished with a wooden float and
a trowel with pressure. The finish shall be continued till the concrete reaches its
initial set. No cement or cement mortar finish shall be provided on the surface.
Where specified, a floor hardener as approved by the ENGINEER shall be
supplied and used as recommended by the manufacturer.
18.1 Immediately after the shuttering is removed, all the defective areas such as
honey-combed surfaces, rough patches, holes left by form bolts, etc shall be
brought to the notice of ENGINEER who may permit patching of the defective
areas or reject the concrete work.
18.2 All through holes for shuttering shall be filled for full depth and neatly plugged
and flushed with surface.
18.4 For patching of defective areas all loose materials shall be removed and the
surface shall be prepared as directed by the ENGINEER.
18.5 Bonding between hardened and fresh concrete shall be done either by placing
cement mortar or by applying epoxy. The decision of the ENGINEER as to be
the method of repairs to be adopted shall be final and binding on the
CONTRACTOR and no extra claim shall be entertained on this account. The
surface shall be saturated with water for 24 hours before patching is done with
1:5 cement sand mortar. The use of epoxy for bonding fresh concrete shall be
carried out as directed by ENGINEER.

22.4 Any temporary arrangements that may have to be made to ensure stability of
the structures shall also be considered to have been taken into account while
quoting the rates.
22.5 Any leakage that may occur during the hydro-test or subsequently during the
defects liability period or the period for which the structure is guaranteed shall
be effectively stopped either by cement/ epoxy pressure grouting, guniting or
such other method as may be approved by the ENGINEER. All such
rectification shall be done by the CONTRACTOR to the entire satisfaction of
the PURCHASER at no extra cost to the PURCHASER.
23.1 Hydro-static test for water tightness shall be done at full storage level or soffit
of cover slab, as may be directed by ENGINEER, as described below:
b) In the case of structures whose external faces are submerged 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 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. Backfilling shall be withheld till the tanks are tested. The total drop in
surface level over a period for seven days shall be taken as an indication of
the water tightness of the structure. The ENGINEER 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.
23.2 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.

24.1 If the ENGINEER feels that the materials i.e., cement, sand, coarse
aggregates, reinforcement and water are not in accordance with the
specifications or if specified concrete strengths are not obtained, he may order
tests to be carried out on these materials in laboratory, to be approved by the
ENGINEER, as per relevant IS Codes. PURCHASER shall pay only for the
testing of material supplied by the PURCHASER; otherwise CONTRACTOR
shall have to pay for the tests. Transporting of all material to the laboratory
shall however be done by the CONTRACTOR at no extra cost to
PURCHASER.
24.2 In the event of any work being suspected of faulty material or workmanship
requiring its removal or if the works cubes do not give the stipulated strengths,
ENGINEER reserves the right to order the CONTRACTOR to take out cores
and conduct tests on them or do ultrasonic testing or load testing of structure,
etc. All these tests shall be carried out by CONTRACTOR at no extra cost to
the PURCHASER. Alternately ENGINEER also reserves the right to ask the
CONTRACTOR to dismantle and re-do such unacceptable work at the cost of
CONTRACTOR.
24.3 If the structure is certified by Engineer as having failed, the cost of the test and
subsequent dismantling/ reconstruction shall be borne by CONTRACTOR.
24.4 The quoted unit rates/ prices of concrete shall deem to provide for all tests
mentioned above.

CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D7
Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project - 3x660 MW SHEET 17 OF 71
Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh
or on the edges of the succeeding unit when it is standing vertically and then
placing it horizontally, well pressed against the previously laid unit to produce a
compacted vertical joint. In case of two cell blocks with slight depression on the
vertical sides these shall also be filled up with mortar to secure greater lateral
rigidity. To assure satisfactory bond, mortar shall not be spread too far ahead
of actual laying of the block as the mortar will stiffen and lose its plasticity.
Mortar while hardening shrinks slightly and thus pulls away from the edges of
the block. The mortar shall be pressed against the units with a jointing tool after
it has stiffened to effect intimate contact between the mortar and the unit to
obtain a weather tight joint. The mortar shall be raked to a depth of 10 mm as
each course is laid to ensure good bond for the plaster.
6.2.7 As per the design requirements and to effectively control cracks in the

bedded and in level with the adjoining tiles. The joints shall be in straight lines
and shall normally be 1.5 mm wide. On completion of laying of the tiles in a
room, all the Joints shall be cleaned and washed fairly deep with a stiff broom/
wire brush to a minimum depth of 5 mm. The day after the tiles have been laid,
the joints shall be filled with cement grout of the same shade on the colour of
the matrix of the tile. For this purpose white cement or grey cement with or
without pigments shall be used. The flooring should be kept moist and left
undisturbed for 7 days for the bedding/ joints to set properly. Heavy traffic shall
not be allowed on the floor for at least 14 days after fixing of the tiles.
15.2.6 About a week after laying the tiles, each and every tile shall be lightly tapped
with a small wooden mallet to find out if it gives a hollow sound; if it does, such
tiles along with any other cracked or broken tiles shall be removed and
replaced with new tiles to proper line and level. The same procedure shall be
followed again after grinding the tiles and all damaged tiles replaced, properly
jointed and finished to match. For the purpose of ensuring that such replaced
CARBERY INFRASTRUCTURE PTE LTD SECTION: D7

tiles adjoining the wall shall go about 10 mm under the plaster, skirting or dado.
15.2.8 Tile skirting and dado work shall be executed only after laying tiles on the floor.
For dado and skirting work, the vertical wall surface shall be thoroughly
cleaned and wetted. Thereafter it shall be evenly and uniformly covered with 12
mm thick backing of 1:4 cement sand mortar. For this work the tiles as obtained
from the factory shall be of the size required and practically full polished. The
back of each tile to be fixed shall be covered with a thin layer of neat cement
paste and the tile shall then be gently tapped against the wall with a wooden
mallet. Fixing shall be done from the bottom of the wall upwards. The joints
shall be in straight lines and shall normally be 1.5 mm wide. Any difference in
the thickness of the tiles shall be evened out in the backing mortar or cement
paste so that the tile faces are in conformity & truly plumb. Tiles for use at the
corners shall be suitably cut with bevelled edges to obtain a neat and true joint.
After the work has set, hand polishing with carborundum stones shall be done
so that the surface matches with the floor finish.
15.2.9 Wall plastering of the strip left out above the level of skirting/ dado shall be
taken up after the tiles are fixed.

watering, etc shall be carried out all as specified in IS: 1443.
15.2.13 Tiles shall be laid to the levels specified. To ensure this, finished floor levels
should be marked at all door locations and also on the floor at frequent
intervals. Where large areas are to be tiled the level of the central portion shall
be kept 10 mm higher than that at the walls to overcome optical illusion of a
depression in the central portion. Localised deviation of 3 mm in any 3 m
length is acceptable in a nominally flat floor.

20.1.4 Grading of the sand shall be within the limits indicated in IS: 2571.
20.2 Workmanship
20.2.1 The thickness of the floor topping shall be as specified in the item of work. The
minimum thickness of the floor topping shall be 25 mm, if it is laid separately.
15mm thick wearing course of cement concrete 1:2 (1 cement: 2 stone)
aggregate of size 4.75 & below) by volume shall be applied monolithically over
floor topping, if called for in the schedule of item. Wearing course shall be 20
mm thick, if it is cast monolithically over ground floor slab. Laying and finishing
of in-situ topping shall conform to the requirements of IS: 2571.
20.2.2 Preparation of base concrete/ structural slab before laying the topping shall be
as per clause 15.2.3. The surface shall be rough to provide adequate bond for
the topping. It shall be finished to a level below the finished floor equal to the
thickness of topping and/ or wearing courses, if specified.
20.2.3 Mixing of concrete shall be done thoroughly in a mechanical mixer unless hand
mixing is specifically permitted by the ENGINEER. The concrete shall be as
stiff as possible and the amount of water added shall be the minimum
necessary to give just sufficient plasticity for laying and compacting. The mix

20.2.5 Screed strips shall be fixed dividing the area into suitable panels. Immediately
before depositing the concrete topping, neat cement slurry at 2.75 kg/sqm of
area shall be thoroughly brushed into the prepared surface. Topping shall then
be laid, very thoroughly tamped, struck off level and floated with wooden float.
The surface shall then be tested with a straight edge and mason's spirit level to
detect any inequalities from that specified in the drawings and these shall be
made good immediately.
20.2.6 Finishing of the surface by trowelling shall be spread over a period of one to six
hours depending upon the temperature and atmospheric conditions. The
surface shall be trowelled 3 times at intervals so as to produce a smooth
uniform and hard surface. Immediately after laying, the first trowelling just
sufficient to give a level surface shall be carried out avoiding excessive
trowelling at this stage. The surface shall be re-trowelled after sometime to
close any pores and to scrap off excess water or laitance, which shall not be
trowelled back into the topping. Final trowelling shall be done well before the
concrete has become too hard but at a time when considerable pressure is
required to make any impression on the surface. Sprinkling of dry cement or
cement-sand mixture for absorbing moisture shall not be permitted.
20.2.7 Immediately after the surface is finished, it shall be protected suitably from
rapid drying due to wind/ sunlight. After the surface has hardened sufficiently to
prevent any damage to it, the topping shall be kept continuously moist for a
minimum period of 10 days.
20.2.8 It is preferable to lay the topping on hardened base concrete, as against being
laid monolithically with a lesser thickness, since proper levels and slopes with
close surface tolerance, is achievable in practice, owing to its greater
thickness. Further, as this would be laid after all other building operations are
over, there will be no risk of any damages or discoloration of the floor finishes
which are difficult to repair satisfactorily.
20.2.9 In severe condition, where dampness from ground may find its way on the top
of the floor, the floor slab shall be cast in two equal halves. The top surface of
bottom half shall be made plane and smooth after it is cast. A coat of bitumen

of normal/ medium/ heavy duty function of the floor, the quantum of ingredients
and the thickness of topping shall be as specified in the respective items of
work.
22.1.3 For monolithic application with the floor finish/ slab, the thickness of the layer
shall be 15 mm. It shall be 20 mm if it is laid separately over floor slab. The
topping shall be laid within 2 to 3 hours after concrete is laid and it is still plastic
but stiffened enough for the workmen to tread over it by placing planks. The
surface of the concrete layer shall be kept rough for providing adequate band
for the topping. Laitance shall be removed before placing the topping. The
topping shall be screeded and thoroughly compacted to the finished level.
Trowelling to a smooth finish shall be carried out as per clause 20.2.6. After the
surface has hardened sufficiently, it shall be kept continuously moist for at least
10 days.
22.1.4 The procedure for mixing the floor hardener topping shall be as per
manufacturer's instructions.
22.1.5 Floor hardener topping shall be prevented from any damages due to
subsequent building operations by covering with 75 mm thick layer of sand, if it
is laid monolithically with the slab.

columns and walls so that the earth in contact with these surfaces is well
treated with the chemical.
c) In the case of R.C.C. framed structures with columns and plinth beams and
R.C.C. basements, with concrete mix 1:2:4 or richer, the treatment shall start
at the depth of 500 mm below ground level for columns and plinth beams.
From this depth the back-fill around the columns, beams and R.C.C
basement walls shall be treated at the rate of 15 litres/sqm of vertical surface.
The other details of treatment shall be as laid down in clause (b) above.
The top surface of the filled earth within plinth beams/ walls shall be treated with
chemical emulsion at the rate of 5 litres per sqm of the surface before the sand
bed/ sub-grade is laid. Holes up to 50 to 70 mm deep at 150 mm centres both
ways shall be made with 12 mm dia. crow-bar on the surface to facilitate
saturation of the soil with chemical emulsion.
To achieve continuity of vertical chemical barrier to inner wall surfaces from the
ground level, small channel 30 x 30 mm shall be made at all the junctions of wall
and columns with the floor (before laying the sub-grade) and rod holes made in
the channel up to ground level 150 mm apart and the chemical emulsion poured
along the channel at the rate of 15 litres/sqm of the vertical wall or column
surface so as to soak the soil right to the bottom. The soil shall be tamped back
into place after this operation.
The top surface of the consolidated earth over which the apron is to be laid shall
be treated with chemical emulsion at the rate of 5 litres/sqm of the surface before
the apron is laid, by making rod holes 75 mm deep at 150 mm centres both
ways.
After the building is complete, holes shall be made in the soil with iron rods along
the external perimeter of the building at interval of about 150 mm and depth 300
mm and these holes filled with chemical emulsion at the rate of 7.5 litres/metre of
perimeter of the external wall. If the earth outside the building is graded on
completion of building, this treatment shall be carried out on completion of such
grading. If the filling is more than 300 mm the external perimeter treatment shall
extend to the full depth of filling up to the original ground level so as to ensure
continuity of chemical barrier.

When pipes and conduits enter the soil inside the area of the foundations, the
soil surrounding the points of entry shall be loosened around each such pipe or
conduit for a distance of 150 mm and to a depth of 75 mm before treatment is
commenced. Whey they enter the soil external to the foundations, they shall be
similarly treated for a distance of over 300 mm unless they stand clear of the
walls of the building by about 75 mm.
5.1 All chemicals used for anti-termite treatment are poisonous and hazardous to
health. These chemicals can have an adverse effect upon health when absorbed
through the skin, inhaled as vapours or spray mists or swallowed. Person using
or handling these chemicals should be warned of these dangers and advised that
absorption through the skin is most likely source of accident poisoning. They
should be cautioned to observe carefully the safety precautions given below.
