Page | 64
wind or seismic forces comparable in intensity to that for which the structure has been designed,
acting upon exposed framing as well loads due to erection equipment and erection operations.

If additional Internal guys are required to resist or seismic forces acting upon components of the
finished structure installed by others during the course of the erection of the steel framing,
arrangement for their installation by the erecter.

The responsibility in respect of Internal bracings and guys will cease when the structural steel is once
located, plumbed, levelled, aligned and grouted within the tolerances permitted under the
specification and guyed and braced to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

Internal Floors for Building:

It will be the responsibility to provide planking and to cover such floors during the work in progress
as may be required by any Act of parliament and/or by laws of state, Municipal or other local
authorities.

Setting Out:

Positioning and leveling of all steelwork, plumbing of stanchions and placing of every part of the
structure with accuracy will be in accordance with the approved Drawings and to the satisfaction of
the Engineer. Concrete foundations, where required, will be made and will check the positions and
levels of the anchor bolts, etc. before concreting and get them properly secured against disturbance
during pouring operations will remain responsible for correct positioning. For heavy columns, etc.
set proper screed bars if desired by the Engineer, to maintain proper level. Each tire of column will
be plumbed and maintained in a true vertical position subject to the limits of tolerance allowable
under this Specification.

No permanent field connections by riveting bolting or welding will be carried out until proper
alignment and plumbing has been attained.

Filed Riveting

All riveting will be heated and driven with pneumatic tools. Hand passing or ‘throwing’ of rivets are
desirable. Any other method of conveying hot rivets from the furnace to the driving point must be
approved by the engineer. No cold rivets will be driven. All other requirements of reverting including

Page | 65
quality and acceptance criteria will be in accordance with the relevant portions of the Specification
for Fabrication of Structural Steel work of the project.

Field bolting

All relevant portions in respect of bolted construction of the Specification for Fabrication of
structural Steelwork applicable the Project will also be applicable for filed bolting in addition to the
following: -

Bolts will be inserted in such a way so that they may remain in position under gravity even before
fixing the nut. Bolted parts will fit solidly together when assembled and will not be separated by
gaskets or any other interposed compressible materials.

When assembled, all joint surfaces, including those adjacent to the washers will be free of scale
except tight mill scale. They will be free of dirt, loose scales, burns, and other defects that would
prevent solid seating of the parts. Contact surfaces within friction-type joints will be free of oil, paint,
lacquer, or galvanizing.

All high tensile bolts will be tightened to provide, when all fasteners in the joint are tight, the
required minimum bolt tension by any of the following methods.

a) Turn-of-nut-method

When the turn-of-nut method is used to provide the bolt tension, there will first be enough bolts
brought to a ‘snug tight’ condition to ensure that the parts of the joint are brought into good contact
with each other. ‘Snug tight’ is defined as the tightness attained by a few impacts of an impact
wrench or the full effort of man using an ordinary spud wrench. Following this initial operation, bolts
will be placed in any remaining holes in the applicable amount of nut rotation specified in table-1
with tightening progressing systematically from the most rigid part of the joint to its free edges.
During this operation there will be no rotation of part not turned by the wrench.

TABLE-1

Bolts may be installed without hardened washers when tightening is done by the Turn- of – nut
method. How ever, normal washers will be used.

Bolts tightened by the turn- of – nut method may have the outer face of the nut. Match-marked with
the protruding bolt point before final tightening, thus affording the inspector visual means of noting
the actual not rotation such marks can be made by the

wrench operator by suitable means after the bolts have been brought up snug tight.

b) Torque wrench tightening

When torque wrenches are used to produce the bolt tensions, the bolts will be tightened to the
torques specified in TABLE-II. Nuts will be in tightening motion when torque wrenches to install
several bolts in single joints, the wrench will be returned to touch up bolts previously tightened,
which may have been loosened by the tightening of subsequent bolts, until all are tightened to the
required tension.

Page | 67
In either of the above two methods, if required, for bolt entering and wrench operation clearances,
tightening may be done by turning the bolt while the nut is prevented from rotating.

Impact wrenches if used will be of adequate capacity and sufficiently supplied with air to perform
the required tightening of each bolt in approximately ten seconds.

Holes for turned bolts to be inserted in the field will be reamed in the field. All drilling and reaming
for turned bolts will be done only after the parts to be connected are assembled. Tolerances
applicable in the fit of the bolts will be in accordance with relevant Indian Standard Specifications.
All other requirements regarding assembly and bolt tightening will be in accordance with this clause.

Field Welding:

All field assembly and welding will be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the
specification for fabrication work applicable to the project, excepting such provisions herein which
manifestly apply to shop conditions only. Where the fabrication structural steel members have been
delivered paints, the paint will be removed before field welding for a distance of at least 50 mm on
either side of joints.

HOLES, CUTTING AND FITTING

No cutting of sections, flanges, webs, cleats, rivets, bolts, welds etc. will be done unless specifically
approved and/or instructed by the Engineer.

The erector will not cut, drill or otherwise alter the work of other trades, or his own work to
accommodate other trades, unless such work is clearly specified or directed by the Engineer.
Wherever such work is specified, will obtain complete information as to size, location and number
of alterations prior to carrying out any work.

Drifting:

Correction of minor misfits and reasonable amount of reaming and cutting of excess stock from
rivets will be considered as permissible. For this, light drifting may be used to draw holes together
and drills will be used to enlarge holes as necessary to make connection. Reaming, that weakens the

Page | 68
member or makes it impossible to fill the holes property or to adjust accurately after reaming, will
not be allowed.

Any error in shop which prevents the prevents the proper assembling and fitting of parts by
moderate use of drift pins and reamers will immediately be called to the attention of the Engineer
and approval of the method of correction obtained. The use of gas cutting torches at erection site is
prohibited.

Grouting of Stanchion Bases & Bearings of Beams & Girders on Stone, Bricks or Concrete (Plain or
Reinforce):

Grouting will be carried out with Ordinary Cement grout as described below:-

The mix will be one (1) part cement and one (1) part sand just enough water to make it workable.
The positions to be grouted will be cleaned thoroughly with Compressed air jet and placed under
expect supervision, taking care to avoid air- Looks. Edges will be finished properly. If the thickness
of grout is 25 mm or More, two (2) parts of 6 mm downgraded stone chips may be added to the
above Noted cement-sand grout mix, if required, by the Engineer or shown on the Drawings.

No grouting will be carried out until a sufficient number of bottom lengths of Stanchions have been
properly lined, levelled and plumbed and sufficient floor Beams are tied in position.

Whatever method of grouting is employed, the operation will not be carried out until the steelwork
has been finally levelled and plumbed, the stanchion bases being supported meanwhile by steel
wedges, and immediately before grouting, the space under steel will thoroughly cleaned.

If required, certain admixtures like aluminum powder, “ironies” or equipment may be required to
the grout. When so directed by the Engineer, take delivery of the material from the site stores and
use it in the grout in

proportions to be decided by the Engineer and carry out the allowance of 5% (five percent) for
wastage will be allowed over the above theoretical requirement of the admixtures.

Painting after Erection:

Page | 69
Field painting, if required to be done by the Contract, will only be done after the structure is erected,
levelled, plumbed, aligned and grouted in its final position, tested and accepted by the Engineer.
However, touch up painting, making good any damaged shop painting and completing any
unfinished portion of the shop coat will be carried out by the erection. The materials and
specification for such painting in the field will be in accordance with the requirements of the
specification for fabrication of structural Steel work applicable for the project.

Painting will not be done in frosty or foggy, weather or humidity is such as to cause condensation on
the surfaces to be painted. Before painting of steel, which is delivered unpainted, is commenced, all
surfaces to be painted will be dried and thoroughly cleaned from all loose scale and rust.

All field rivets, bolts, welds and abrasions to the shop coat will be spot painted with the same paint
used for the shop coat. Where specified, surfaces which will be in contact after site assembling will
receive a coat of paint (in addition to the shop coat, if any) and will be brought together while the
paint is still wet.

Surface which will be inaccessible after field assembly will receive the full specified protective
treatment before assembly. Bolts and fabrication steel members which are galvanized or otherwise
treated and steel members to be encased in concrete will not be painted

The specification for paint and workmanship will be in accordance with the requirements of the

the Engineer, Correctness of lines, plumb, orientation, symmetry and levels will be strictly ensured. All
items will be fully secured against movement in any direction and so located as to allow easy
maintenance.

All pipe lines, fittings and fixtures will be installed leak proof. When the works under scope of this
specification linked up with works executed by others, the connections will be such as to prevent any
splashing or emission of foul odor and gases. the Engineer prior to use in work.

Rainwater Down corners:

Rainwater down corners will be standards Cast Iron of Asbestos Cement pipes. In case where specifically
desired. M.S. pipes may also be M.S. pipes will be painted outside with two coats or anti corrosive paints
under a coat of primer.

Rainwater down corners will run along and be secured to walls, columns etc., these may have to be
installed in chase cut in the structured. All pipes will be wall secured and supported by adequately strong
brackets. The brackets may be wrought iron clevis type, split ring type of perforated strap iron type as
approved by the Engineer. For vertical runs each pipe will hang freely on its brackets fixed just below
the socket. Suitable spacer blocks will be provided against the vertical surface to which the pipe is fixed.

All bends and junction will be supplied with water tight clean outs.

Proof and floor drains and vard gullies will be installed. If required by cutting into the structure and
grouted with 1:2:4 cement concrete. All gutters will be provided with removable grating.

All horizontal pipes will have a minimum fall of 1 in 100.

100 mm nominal dia: 1in 35

150 mm nominal dia: 1in 65

230 mm nominal dia: 1in120

300 mm nominal dia: 1in 200

Relation with water supply pipe lines

Unless specifically cleared by the Engineer, under no circumstances will special drainage and soil pipes
be allowed to come close to water supply pipelines.

Laying

Each separate pipe will be individually set for line and for level. Where lengths of sewer or drain pipes
are laid in trench, properly; painted sight rails will be fixed across the trench at a height, equal to length
of the bonding rod fixed across trench at a height, equal to length of the bonding rod to be used, above

Page | 79
the required invert level of the drain or sewer at the point where the sight is fixed. More sight rails will
be required at manholes, change of gradient and intermediate positions if the distance for sighting is
more then 50 ft. The foot of the wall of the pipe. Each pipe will be separately and accurately boned
between sight rails.

Support and protection on Pipelines

All pipes will be laid with sockets leading uphill, preferably the pipe will rest on solid and even
foundations for the full length of the barrel. However, the pipe manufacturer’s instruction as approved
by the Engineer will be followed in the matter of support and jointing.

To achieve full and continuous support, concrete for bedding and packing is the best. Where pipes are
not bedded on concrete, the floor will be left slightly high and carefully placed so that the pipe barrels
rest on undisturbed ground. If anywhere the excavation has been carried too low packing will be done
in concrete. Where laid on rock or very hard ground which cannot be easily excavated to a smooth
surface, the pipes will be laid on a cradle of fine concrete floor of gravel and crushed stone over laid with
concrete or on a well consolidated gravel and crushed stone bed as desired by the Engineer. PVC or
similar pipes will be laid directly on stable soil.

The minimum support and protection for glazed stoneware pipes will be as follows:

a) When cover is less then 2 meter below ground level and where pipes are unavoidably exposed above
ground surface, the pipes will be completely encased or surrounded with concrete.

b) Where pipes are laid on soft solid with the maximum water table rising above the invert of the pipe,
the sewer will be bedded on concrete.

c) Where the pipes have to be laid on soft solid with the maximum water table rising above the invert
of the pipe, but below the top of the barrel the pipe sewer will be hunched.

d) Where maximum water table is likely to rise above the top of the barrel or wherever the pipe is laid
on soft soil the pipe sewers will be completely encased or surrounded with concrete.

Vitrified clay pipe will be laid on a bed of 150 mm thick cement concrete (1:3:6) nominal mix by volume.

Page | 80
Cast iron pipes and concrete pipes may be supported on suitable concrete or brick support, where
specified. The supports will be located close to ends. Spacing of intermediate supports will be as decided
by the Engineer, Pipes will be secured to the supports by approved means.

Anchoring of pipes where necessary will be achieved by suitable concrete encasing designed for the
expected thrust.

Entry into Structure.

For entry of the pipelines into any building of structure suitable conduit after the structure or sleeves
will be used. The conduits and sleeves will be such as to allow easy repairs and replacement of the pipes
when openings of chases are required to be made in the structure for entry of pipe lines, After laying of
the pipeline the opening and chases will be mended.

Ducts:

Where solid waste and ventilating pipes are accommodated in ducts, access to cleaning areas will be
provided. Connection to drain will be through a gully with sealed cover to guard against ingress of sewer
gas, vermin or backflow.

Traps and Ventilating pipes

Pipes are carrying of the waste from water a closets and water closed and waste water and overflow
water from baths, wash basins, sinks to drains will be trapped immediately beneath such fixtures. Traps
will have minimum water seal of 50 mm and will be ventilated whenever such ventilation is necessary
to maintain water seal of the trap.

Ventilating pipes will be carried up vertically the drain to a height of at least 600 mm above the outer
covering of the roof of the building or as shown on drawings. All vertical venting, anti – syphonage and
similar pipe will be covered on top with a cowl. The cowl. Will be made of G.I. unless desired otherwise
by the Engineer.

Page | 81
Manhole and Inspection Chambers

The maximum distance between manholes will be 30 meter unless specially permitted otherwise. In
addition, at every change of alignment gradient or diameter there will be a manhole or inspection
chamber. The distance between manhole or inspection chamber and gully chamber will not exceed 6
meters unless desired otherwise. Manhole will be constructed so as to be water tight under test. The
bending at the sides will be carried out in such a manner as to provide no lodgment for any splashing in
case of accidental flashing of the chamber. The channel or drain at the bottom of chamber will be
plastered with 1:2 cement, sand mortar and finished smooth the grade. The channels and drains will be
shaped and laid to provide smooth flow.

Connecting to existing sewer lines will be through a manhole.

Manholes will be provided with standard G.I. covers. The covers will be close fittings so as to prevent
gases from coming out suitable heavy duty covers willbe used where necessary as decided by the
Engineer.

Cutting of Pipes

Manufacture’s instructions will be followed for cutting of pipes where necessary. Suitable and approved
tools will be used for the cutting so as to leave surface clean and squat to the axis of the pipe.

Page | 82
Jointing

Jointing of laid pipes will be so planned as to avoid completely any movement or strain to the joints
already made. If any joint is suspected to be damaged it will be opened out and redone.

All joints between pipes, pipes and fittings and manholes will be gas –tight when above ground and
watertight. When underground Method of jointing

will be as per instructions of the pipe and fittings manufacturer and as approved by the Engineer.
However , in the absence of any instruction

available from the manufacturer the methods as detailed here under will be used.

a) Cast Iron Pipes

Socket and spigot pipes will be jointed by the cast lead joints. The spigot will be centered in the socket
of the next pipe by tightly caulking in sufficient turns of tarred gasket or hemp yarn to have unfilled half
the depth of socket. When the gasket or hemp yarn has been caulked tightly a jointing will be placed
round the barrel and tightened against the face of the socket to prevent air lock. Molten lead will then
be poured in to fill the remainder of the socket and caulked with suitable tools right round the joint to
make up for shrinkage of the molten metal on cooling and will be finished 3 mm behind the socket face.

Joint in cast iron pipes with special jointing arrangements like ‘Tyton’ joints etc., will follow the
instructions of the manufacturers.

In special cases if fanged joints are accepted by the Engineer the joints will be made lead-proof by
inserting approved type of rubber gaskets. The bolts will be secured in stages to avoid uneven strain.

b) Concrete Pipes

Care will be taken to place the collar centrally over the joint.

c) Glassed Stone water Pipes

Tarred gasket or hump yarn soaked in thick cement slurry will first be placed round the spigot of each
pipe previously laid . The pipe will then be adjusted and fixed in the correct position and the gasket
caulked tightly so as not to fill more then ¼ of the total depth of the socket. The remainder of the socket
will be filled with a stiff mixture of cement mortar of 1:1 proportion. Then the socket is filled, a fillet will
be formed round the joint with a trowel, forming an angle of 45 deg. With the barrel of the pipe. The

Page | 83
newly made joints will be protected, unit set and will be covered with damp cloth or other suitable
materials.

d) Vitrified clay Pipes

The will be made from refractory clay mixed with crushed pottery and stone and burnt at a height
temperature. These will be hard, compact and glazed to make them acid resistant and impervious, and
will be obtained from approved manufacturer.

Special care will be taken in handing these pipes. The pipes will not be jointed until the earth has been
partly refilled over the portion of the pipe between the joint holes. Before laying the second pipe, the
socket of the first pipe laid will be thinly painted all round on the inside with cement slurry (1 part of
cement and 2 parts of clean, sharp sand ). A ring of rope yarn (closely twisted heap or jute dipped in
neat cement paste or tar or bitumen, will be inserted in the socket or pipe and driven home with caulking
tools. The rope will fully encircle the spigot with a slight overlap and will not occupy more then one
fourth of the total depth of the socket. Where the spigot end of the pipe is made for receiving the gasket,
it will be wrapped with two or three turns of tarred spun, as close to the

end as possible, before inserting into the socket. The joint will then be completely filled with cement
mortar (1:1) which will have very little water and leveled to from a splayed fillet at an angle of 45 degrees
with the outside pipe. Special care will be taken so that any excess mortar etc., left inside the pipe joints
is neatly cleaned off immediately after each joint is made. A semi-circular wooden scrapper or a rubber
disc to which a long handle is fixed could be used for this purpose.

e) Lead Pies

No lead pipes will be used unless specifically mentioned in the specification. The joints in lead pipes will
be made as wiped solder joint. The minimum and the maximum length of the wiped solder joints will be
8 cm, and 9cm respectively. The solder will generally consist of two parts of lead and one part of tin.

f) Polythylene Pipes

The joints will be thermo-welded or bolted as per manufacturer’s instructions.

g) Jointing Cast Iron Pipes with Stoneware Pipes

Page | 84
Where any cast iron soil pipe, ventilating pipe or trap is connected with a Stoneware or semi-vitrified
waste pipe or drain communicating with a sewer, the beaded spigot end of such cast iron soil type, waste
or ventilating pipe or trap will be inserted in to a socket of such stoneware pipe or drain and the joint
made with motar consisting of one part of cement and one part of clean shape sand after placing a
ratted gasket or hemp yarn soaked in neat cement slurry round the joint and inserted in it by means of
a caulking tool.

h) Jointing Stone ware with Cast Iron Pipe

Where any water closet pan or earth ware trap connected to such a pan is to be jointed with a cast Iron
soil socket, will always be of a flexible nature. Such joint will be made with admixture of bitumen and
chopped asbestos fibre.

Page | 85
Trenches and other excavations

Width of the trench at the bottom will be such as to provide 200 mm clearance on either side of the
pipe for facility of laying and jointing.

Excavated material, will be stacked sufficiently away from the edge of the trench and the side of the
spoil bank will not be allowed to endanger the stability of the excavation. Spoil may be carted away and
used for filling the trench behind the work.

Turf, top soil or other surface materials will be set aside, turf being carefully rolled and stacked for use
in reinstatement.

All excavation will be properly timbered, where necessary.

Efficient arrangements for dewatering during excavation and keeping it dry till backfilling will be made
to the satisfaction of the Engineer, Sumps for dewatering will be located away from the pipe layout.

Where the excavation proceeds through roads necessary permissions will be secured from the
appropriate authorities.

Special care will be taken not to damage underground services, cables etc. These when exposed will be
kept adequately supported till the trench is backfilled.

The backfilling will be done only after the pipeline has been tested and approved by the Engineer. Special
care will be taken under and sides of the pipe during hand packing with selected material. At least 300
mm over the pipe will also be filled with soft earth or sand. Consolidation will be done in 150 mm layers.
The surface water will be prevented from getting into the filled up trench. Traffic will not be
inconvenienced by heaping up unduly the backfilling material to compensate future settlement. All
future settlements will be made good regularly to minimize inconvenience of traffic where applicable.

Fixtures

All fixtures and fitting will be of approved quality and type manufactured by well known manufacturers.
All items brought to the site must bear identification marks of the type of the manufacturer.
Procurements will be made well in advance and inspected and approved, immediately by the Engineer.
All fixtures will be adequately protected, coved and plugged till handed over.

Page | 86
All fittings, gratings, fasteners, unless specified otherwise, will be chromium plated. The connecting lead
pipes and bonds will weigh at leas 3 kg per 25mm dia. Per meter length. Where PVC or similar pipes are
allowed will produce the test reports and convince the Engineer about their durability.

Installation

All plumbing fitting and fixtures will be installation in most workmen like manner by skilled workers.
These will be perfect in level, plump, plane, location and symmetry. All items will be securely anchored
to walls and floors. All cuttings in walls and floors will be made good.

Septic tank

Septic tank will consist of the tank itself with inlet and outlets there from complete with all necessary
earthworks and back fitting. The details of septic tank will be as shown on drawings. These items will
also include ventilatings pipe of at least 100 mm dia whose top will be provided with a suitable mosquito
proof wire mesh and cowl. Ventilating pipe will extend to a height of about 2 meter when the septic
tank is at least 15 meter away from the nearest building and to a height of 2 meter above the top building
when it is located closer then 15 meter. Ventilating pipes can be connected to the normal soil ventilating
system of the building where allowed.

Effluent Disposal

The effluent from the septic tank will be disposed by allowing it into an open channel or a body of water
if the concerned authority approves or in to a soak pit for absorption by soil or will be allowed to be
absorbed by soil through open pointed SW pipes laid in a trench filled with broken bricks.

Soap pit

The soak pit will be complete as shown on drawings. The pit will be lined with stone, brick or concrete
blocks set in cement mortar (1:6) and filled with brick bats. Inlet pipe will be taken down to a depth of
900 mm from the top asan anti – mosquito measure.

Page | 87
Open joined SW pipe/Dispersion Trenches

Minimum dia. Of the SW pipes will be 150 mm nominal. The trench for laying the pipes will be minimum
600 x 600 mm pipes. The joint of the pipes will be left unsealed. The entire length of the pipe within the
trench will be buried in 250 mm layer gravel or crushed stone of uniform size. On top of gravel/crushed
stone layer is a 150 mm bed of well graded coarse aggregate. Ordinary soil is used for filling the top of
trench.

Commissioning Septic tank

After the septic tank has been proved water tight and the seawater system is checked the tank will be
filled with water to its outlet level before the sewage is let into the tank. . It will be seeded with well-
digested sludge obtained from septic tank or sludge digestion tank. In the absence of digested sludge a
small quantity of decaying organic matter such as digested cow- dung may be introduced.

Testing of Pipelines

Comprehensive tests of all pipe lines will be made by simulating conditions of use. The method of actual
testes will be decided by the Engineer. All test data will be recorded and submitted to the Engineer for
review and instruction. The Engineer’s description regarding tolerance will be final.

General guidance are given below.

a) Smoke test

All soil pipes, waste pipes and vent pipes and all other pipes when above ground will be approved gas
tight any a smoke test conducted under a pressure of 25 mm of water and minted for 15 minutes after
all trap seals have been filled with water. The smoke is produced by burning oily waste or tar paper or
similar material in the combustion chamber of a smoke machine. Chemical smokes are not satisfactory.

b) Water test

For pipes other then Cast Iron Glazed ware and concrete pipes will be subjected to a test pressure of at
least 1.5 m head of water at the highest point of the section under tests. The tolerance figure of two
liters per centimeter of diameter per kilometer may be allowed during a period of 10 (ten) minutes. The
test will be carried out by suitably plugging the low end of the drain and the ends of connections, if any
, and filling the system with water. A knuckle bond will be temporarily jointed in at the top end and a
sufficient length of the vertical pipe jointed to it so as to provided required test head or the top end may

Page | 88
be plugged with a connection to a hose ending in a funnel which could be raised or lowered till the
required head is obtained and fixed suitably for observation.

Subsidence of test water may due to one or more of the following cases:

a) Absorption by pipes and joints

b) Sweating of pipes of joints

c) Leakage at joints or from defective pipes

d) Trapped air.

Allowance will be made for (a) by adding water until absorption has ceased and after which the test
proper should commence. Any leakage and the defective part of the work will be cut out and made
good.

For cast iron pipes

Cast iron sewers and drains will be tested as for glazed water and concrete pipes. The drain plug will be
suitably strutted to prevent their being forced out of the pipe during the test.

c) For straightness

i) By inserting at the high end of the sewer or drain a smooth ball of a diameter 13 mm less then pipe
bore. In the absence of obstruction. Such as yarn or mortar projecting through the joint, the ball with
roll down the invert of the pipe end emerge at the lower end and

ii) By means of a mirror at one end of the line and lamp at the other. If the pipe line is straight, the full
circle of light may be observed. The mirror will also indicate obstruction in the barrel if the pipeline is
not straight.

Testing Of septic tank:

The septic tank will be tested for water tightness. It will be filled up with water and allowed to soak for
24 hours. Then, it will be topped up and allowed to stand again for 24 hours and loss of level recorded.
The fall will not be more then 15 mm.

9. Grounding and Bonding

Page | 92
Grounding comprises both system and equipment grounding. System grounding is
the connection to ground of one of the current-carrying conductors of the electrical
system and is provided to control over voltages associated with certain faults and to
permit protection of the system by over current protective devices and relays.
Equipment grounding refers to the solid connection to ground of non-current-
carrying
metal parts of electrical equipment and adjacent structures to provide safety to
personnel.
Bonding refers to the electrical connection between electrical conductors and other
metallic items to maintain a common electrical potential and to establish desired
paths for fault and stray current flow.
9.9.1 System Grounding
The system ground will be designed so that under either normal or abnormal
conditions there is no danger to personnel. It will be capable of passing of the
maximum ground fault current back to the system neutral without establishing a
dangerous potential gradient in the earth (step potential) or a dangerous potential
difference between exposed parts of equipment and ground, and without resulting
in thermal or mechanical damage to the insulation of connected apparatus.
9.9.2 Equipment Grounding
The equipment grounding system consists of grounding conductors, ground bus, and
grounding electrodes intended to prevent electrical shock hazard.
9.9.3 Grounding Electrodes
Ground electrodes are conductors embedded in earth that are used to maintain
ground potential on conductors connected to it and to conduct current to earth.
Earthing will be done by connecting the wire to an earth rod buried firmly into
ground. G.I. bolts and nuts will be used for the earthing terminals.
9.10 Flexible Electrical Cables
All cables will be carefully selected on the basis of both electrical and physical
characteristics. Electrical characteristics include system voltage, maximum operating
temperature, current carrying capacity (ampacity), voltage drop, and short circuit
capability.

Page | 93
Every flexible cable, which is used for extension of a portable electrical tool, will be
checked before use. If the extension cable is damaged or defective, it will be
repaired or taken off from service immediately.

Whenever it is necessary to provide a Internal power supply to machinery, the


following will considered.
 Rubber cable is preferable, particularly, in construction areas.
 Cable having any signs of external damage will not be used.
 All cable will be installed away from any steel or metallic objects.
10. QUALITY ASSURANCE

All materials and equipment shall conform to recognized standards and relevant IS
codes.

General Precautions

depth of 250mm and the remaining trench filled with soil.
Where electrical cables are laid, suitable means of identity (i.e. cable route
markers) should be sighted along the cable route.

 Fuses will be correctly selected and inserted in the live conductor. Ruptured
fuses will be replaced by the same rating only after determining and rectifying
the cause.
 All electrical apparatus will have adequate ventilation to prevent overheating.
 All electrical equipment, insulated tools, rubber gloves, mats and screens will be
inspected and tested at regular intervals and replaced if damaged or faulty.
 The symbolic safety sign for electricity will be displayed on doors of panel,
distribution boards and similar electrical hazardous areas.
 During construction of underground work or confined space work, portable tools
will be operated from a 110 volts supply. It will be provided (Yellow Color) with
plugs and sockets, which will not be used on a 240-volt supply.
 If approval is given for 240 volts supply, it will be done in writing and the electrical
engineer will fit / require the fitting of a suitable earth leakage protection device.
The safest and most effective earth leakage protection device shall be used, taking
current amp rating in to account. The equipment shall be tagged Electrical Safety
Tag) and numbered with the electrical engineers written authority, signed and
dated.

All the above processes are described in greater detail below.

7.2 Monitoring and Measurement

7.2.1 Customer Satisfaction

M/s Badri Rai & Co will seek Employer/ PM Response on the performance and satisfaction achieved
and checks whether requirements /expectations have been satisfied. A questionnaire will be
circulated midway during execution and towards end of project and response will be analysed and
weak are as indicated will be highlighted to senior management and site management. Necessary
actions will be taken to improve upon the weak are as indicated. Customer Satisfaction Survey
questionnaire is attached.

7.2.2 Internal Audit

The findings will be reported to the PM & M/s Badri Rai & Co Senior Management and all
improvement actions and follow up will be done by the Project In- charge/Construction Manager.

The Project In-charge/ Construction Manager & QA QC Engineer will review all Internal Audit Reports
and interact with the Auditor/Auditors for suitable corrective actions. Results of the Internal Audits
are reviewed during the Management Review.

7.2.3 Monitoring & Measurement of Processes

Effectiveness of processes will be checked against the preplanned performance objectives set for the
processes during internal audits. The performance objectives for processes have been documented
on corporate level and achieve mentor otherwise will be used to check effectiveness of the
processes.

7.2.4 Monitoring & Measurement of Product (Inspection & Testing)


Materials/ Equipment's (as applicable) will be inspected/witnessed by qualified personnel or by the
third-party inspectors deputed by the PM at manufacturer point of origin as per the contract
requirement.

The inspection and testing activities are conducted as indicated in the ITP's. Necessary coordination
will be done with PM Representative.

7.2.5 Laboratory & Testing

M/s Badri Rai & Co will ensure that the proposed Independent Testing Laboratories will comply with
the Contract Specification requirements.

The reporting formats of each test and inspection will be in line with the specified requirements.

Page | 118
The Production and quality team will ensure necessary coordination with the Independent Testing
Laboratories. They will ensure adequate quantities of representative samples of materials (as
applicable) are secured and delivered, design mixes of concrete and other materials required
controls are provided, notify laboratory sufficiently in advance of operations.

7.2.6 Field Inspection Coordination Procedure

PM Requirements on Field Inspection as detailed in contract documents will be complied with.


Notwithstanding the approval of works by PM, we understand our responsibilities for full
compliance to Specifications, Drawings and Codes.

7.2.7 Inspection Activities and Attendance

M/s Badri Rai & Co will provide comprehensive sets of Quality Control Procedure (QCP), Inspection
and Test Plans (ITP), together with Quality Control Forms/ Check sheets for recording the inspection.
The different construction activities of each discipline are covered by QCP's. The QCP's will provide
the basic guidelines for the construction activities in terms of quality for the given activity. Each of
these QCP's will be covered by number of ITP's relevant to sub activities of the QCP. The ITP's
indicate the various inspections and testing activity for a given piece of work, the relevant
specification and the Inspection and Test Request/QC Check Sheet required for the inspection
documentation.

The Inspection and Test Plans specify a symbol for each control/inspection required level and the
parties involved. Only Site Engineer will do inspection activities.

Additionally, it is understood that the PM have the right to witness at any moment the ongoing
construction activities.

7.2.8 Inspection and Test Request (ITR)

Testing, witnessing, inspection and verification will be done by the contractor engineer in charge.
The relevant quality control check sheets will be maintained with the contractor. The quality check
sheets related to RCC activities will be send to client engineer for information only.

Whenever any activity is requested to be tested, witnessed, inspected and verified by the Employer/
PM, a relevant ITP will be submitted by the contractor for Employer/PM review and classify the
inspection points accordingly.

Only those activities related to any inspection /test/report and classified as Hold (H)/ Witness

(W)will be carried out through three essential steps which are;

 Only call for inspection


 Inspection
 Result of inspection (Test Report/QC check sheet)

Page | 119
Calling for inspection will be done by the use of Daily progress Report or "ITR"- Inspection and Test
Request (whenever is requested by the PM), which is a written Inspection and Test Request of work
activities that classified as HOLD and/ or WITNESS points in the Inspection and Test Plan. These are
submitted to the PM. Interaction with Employer (if required) for related inspection shall be
coordinated by PM.

Inspection and Work activities will proceed further for HOLD point inspection, in case PM have failed
to attend the inspection as scheduled in the Daily progress Report or ITR.

However, for all WITNESS point inspection, inspections and work activities will not be stopped even
if the PM fails to attend witness inspections for any reasons.
All ITR's will be numbered indicating the discipline, the area /building reference and the consecutive
serial numbers. The Inspection and Test Request will contain a group of similar works for inspection.
For example, an ITR for all earth works will be grouped together, while all pre-concreting checks will
be grouped into another ITR.

Following inspection, the result of the inspection will be recorded on the related Quality Control
Check sheet, which eventually becomes the QC inspection report. The QC Reports can be replaced
by Laboratory Reports/Test Certificates as applicable for a given activity. The QC Check sheets have
across reference to the ITR number and any previous ITR numbers in case the inspection has been
repeated. It is expected that the ITR will be returned to M/s Badri Rai & Co with summary results
marked for the various inspection activities requested. Where the result of inspection is not
satisfactory, and positive results have not been achieved, afresh ITR will be put in after rectification.

The Senior Engineer will log all ITR's.

7.2.9 Multiple Progressive Inspection

When the size of any operation or task like large pours etc., MAL will prepare a key plan of the entire
work and divide into smaller manageable portions. It is possible to use only one Quality Control
Check Sheet/ Inspection Report for documenting inspections in such cases.

7.2.10 Receiving Inspection

All construction material (to be permanently incorporated in the project), received on site will be
subjected to receiving checks on site by the Production Team / Store keeper to ensure these are as
approved and specified. Such receiving checks will be recorded on the Site Receipt Notes. Expiration
dates, identification, physical compliance, trace ability and review of certificates of conformity / mill
certificates are the parameters that will be checked. Where required and as indicated in the ITP, the
PM will be notified for receiving inspection-those that are classified as HOLD/WITNESS points in the
Inspection and Test Plans.

Page | 120
7.2.11 In Process Inspection & Testing

For all Hold & Witness Points identified on the ITP related to PM, the Request for Testing &
Inspection System is followed. See description under Field Inspection & Coordination Procedure
above.

7.2.12 Final Inspection & Testing

We will comply with the relevant requirements of "Pre-commissioning/Testing & Commissioning in


the particular Electromechanical Specifications.

The Production Manager along with Quality Team will ensure all final inspection and testing are
carried out as outlined in the Inspection and Test Plans. The "Punch Lists" of all outstanding and
defective works provided by PM will be attended to and closed out within agreed time table with
PM.

After completion of all functional checks on each element of work / equipment, pre-commissioning
checks will be done to ensure compliance and proper functioning of all systems. Final Testing and
commissioning will then be done. as per agreed time/schedule with witnessing from PM as per
mutually agreed and approved procedure (Testing and commissioning procedures) to be submitted
later in the project.

7.3 Control of Non-Conforming Product

The PM requirements for Non-Conformance Reports will be complied with. On receipt of a Non-
Conformance Report (NCR), Construction Manager will review the Non-Conformance and agree on
the immediate corrective action to rectify the Non-Conformance and a preventive action to prevent
recurrence.

The Construction Manager will write out the Corrective / Preventive Action on a copy of the NCR and
meet the PM Representative within reasonable time and forward a copy of the NCR with proposed
corrective/preventive actions and planned date for implementation of such action. The duration of
implementation will not exceed 2 weeks unless justified by M/s Badri Rai & Co and accepted by the
auditor. The Construction Manager together with planning engineer will trace each NCR to the
relevant milestone dates wherever applicable. Efforts will be taken to close the NCR's prior to
relevant milestone date.

Any non-conforming work identified on site (either party) is rectified as per agreed corrective action.
Actions include: -

 Repair/re work to drawings & specifications


 Reject if non-conforming product is beyond repair.
 Accept as is when further rectification may result in serious functional problems.

Page | 121
On approval by auditor, the corrective actions will be completed and after showing evidence of
completion of corrective and preventive actions, the Deputy Project Manager will approach the
auditor to close the relevant NCR's

In case of above, the non-conforming work shall be put on HOLD until the corrective action is
accepted by the PM.

Records of rectification necessary to close out a Non-Conformance are kept. Actions taken are
recorded on the Non-Conformance Report. All NCRs are logged on the Non-Conformance Register by
the Production Team.

11. Inspection

To ensure that all construction and remedial activities comply with the project specifications, the QC
Engineer will complete, in conjunction with the sub- contractors, three phases of site inspections for
each feature of work. These inspections will include the following:

PHASEL-PREPARATORY INSPECTION

Preparatory inspections will be performed prior to beginning work on any definable feature of the
project and will include:

 Review of submittal requirements and all other Contract requirements with the
performance of the work.

Page | 124
Check to assure that provisions have been made to provide required field quality control testing.

Examine the work area to ascertain that all preliminary work has been completed;

Verify all field dimensions and advise Client of any discrepancies.

 Perform a physical examination of materials and equipment to assure that they conform to
approved shop drawings or submittal data and that all required materials and/or equipment
are on hand and comply with the Contract requirements.

PHASEII-INITIALINSPECTIONS

Initial phase inspections will be performed as soon as a representative portion of the particular
feature of work has been accomplished. Initial inspections include, but are not limited to,
examination of the quality of workmanship; review of control testing for compliance with control
requirements; and identification of defective or damaged materials, omissions, and dimensional
requirements. The initial phase inspection is the time to discuss and agree on the required level of
quality associated with a given work activity. Any discrepancies relative to work quality should be
addressed at this time.

PHASE III-FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS

Follow-up inspections will be performed daily as work progresses to ensure continuing compliance
with contract requirements, including control testing, until completion of the particular feature of
work. Final follow-up inspections will be conducted and deficiencies corrected prior to beginning
new work. Notification and meeting minutes of all inspections will be recorded in the Daily Quality
Control Report.

12. Field Testing Procedures

The Contractor will conduct field-testing to verify that control measures are adequate to provide a
product that conforms to contract requirements. Field testing will be conducted under the guidance
of the QC Engineer and he or his designee shall:

 Arrange for, or conduct, field testing in accordance with applicable test parameters
 Verify that facilities and testing equipment are available and comply with testing standards
and ensure that testing facilities are approved by Olin and are validated.
 Check test equipment calibration data against certified standards.
 Verify that all tests are documented and submitted as part of quality control system
reporting.
 Review all test documentation prior to submittal.

MAL follows the following criteria for Civil Materials received at site:

CEMENT CONCRETE

Pour Card: Before any casting any concrete on the site a Pour Card needs to be filled and authorized
by M/s Badri Rai & Co employee with the client approval. Refer Annexure A.

Slump Test: Slump test is used to determine the workability of fresh concrete. Slump test as per IS:
1199 - 1959 is followed. The apparatus used for doing slump test are Slump cone and tamping rod.
Refer Annexure B.

Page | 125
Cube casting and Test: The acceptance criteria of quality of concrete are laid Down in IS: 456-2000.
The criteria are mandatory and various provisions of the code have to be complied before the
quality of concrete is accepted. In all the cases, the 28-days compressive strength shall alone be the
criterion for acceptance or rejection of the concrete. In order to get a relatively quicker idea of the
quality of concrete, optional test for 7 days compressive strength of concrete is carried out.

REINFORCEMENT

Physical test is carried for the steel received at site for every batch or as per ITP. Chemical Test may
be carried out for further investigation if needed by an approved third-party testing laboratory.

COARSE/ FINE AGGREGATES

Sieve Analysis for coarse aggregates is carried out in the site laboratory for all the aggregates
received at site. Sieve analysis helps to determine the particle size distribution of the coarse and fine
aggregates. This is done by sieving the aggregates as per IS: 2386. In this we use different sieves as
standardized by the IS code and then pass aggregates through them and thus collect different sized
particles left over different sieves. Silt Test for fine aggregates is carried out in the site laboratory.
Field test is generally conducted in order to determine the volumetric percentage of silt in naturals
and for percentage up to 6%, otherwise more detailed test as prescribed by standard code are
required to be conducted.

13.0 Submittals

The QCM will follow standard procedures concerning submittals, each submittal form may contain
more than one submittal specific to that specification section. A submittal register listing major
submittals will be prepared by Consort. This register will be prepared in conjunction with the
anticipated progress schedule. The QC Engineer will be responsible for the review and approval of
submittals prior to their submittal to Client representative. This includes reviews of materials and
suppliers' catalogue cuts; as well as sub-contractor submittals. The QC Engineer will review the
submittal for completeness and compliance with the contract specifications. The QC Engineer will
actively participate during procurement activities to ensure purchase orders and subcontracts
comply with the contract.

14.0 Documentation

All testing results will be recorded on the daily quality control report. Any concerns or deviations
from the required material specifications and the actions taken to correct the problems will be
noted on the report. Information recorded on the daily quality control report will include

 Definable features of work that was addressed
