Chapter-1

Carriage of Materials

Preamble:

1. The provision of tipper has been made in hours where lead is known like disposal of the
materials upto 1000 m. In case where lead is variable like carriage of hot mix or
concrete mix from plants or earth from borrow areas, provision has been made in terms
of tonne-kilometer (t-km), which can be adopted as per actual conditions.

2. Provision has been made for a tractor trolley instead of tipper where dismantled
materials of sorts or material having more volume as compared with weight are required to
be transported. This arrangement will be economical.

3. The cost of carriage will vary depending upon the riding surface of the road. Prevision has
accordingly been made considering surface roads, unsurfaced graveled roads and
katcha tracks.

4. Analysis for loading has been done both for manual and mechanical means for adoption
as per actual situations.

5. Where loading is done by mechanical plant like HMP or batching plant and there is
automatic loading in tippers, provision of loading and un-loading has been made at rate
of 10 per cent of cost of carriage to account for time taken by the tipper for getting
loaded at the plant and un-loadjng in the paver or otherwise at site.

6. Although the market rates for supply of aggregates at site are generally taken for
estimation purpose, rate for crushing of aggregate have also been analysed as most of
the contractors prefer to crush their own aggregates in case of large projects exceeding
Rs.50 crores in value.

7. The cost of material shall be evaluated considering the cost at crushing plants and cost
of carriage including loading and unloading or the rates for supply at site depending
upon system being followed at particular locations. These rates should be compared
with the rates for own crushing and carriage by the construction agency.
