levels, the pay line shall be the line starting from the limiting lines of

structure at actual foundation level & sloping at the rate specified above.

(b) When actual depth of foundation is taken above than proposed foundation

levels, the pay line shall be the line confirmed to appropriate slopes

excavated on the basis of width required for proposed foundation levels, but

ending at the level of actual foundation.

(c) No payment shall be made for work done beyond the specified pay line

mentioned above.

(d) The contractor shall, however, be permitted to excavated at flatter slopes in

the interest of stability and of work without any extra cost if site condition

(e) In the event of actual line of excavation being sleeper than that specified

under pay line above, payment shall be made for actual line of excavation

(f) Over cut beyond specified pay line of excavation carried out by the

contractor for any purpose or reasons, unless at the specified direction of

engineer in charge shall be at the expense of the contractor. Refilling

required of such unauthorized excavation with suitable materials, as

directed by the engineer shall also be done by the contractor at his expense.

MAINTENANCE OF EXCAVATION SLOPES:

Any shoring and strutting that may be required during excavation and progress of

work, shall be deemed to be covered in the rate quoted for the respective item of

7.0 SLIPS: GOVERNMENT NOT RESPONSIBLE:

Slips shall be avoided but if any slip occurs on account of any reasons, the

excavation shall be properly restored to stability. No claims shall be entertained for

such slips and their consequences.

The Excavated trenches filled up due to monsoon or any other reason shall be

cleared as directed by the Engineer-in-charge by the contractor without any extra

cost to Government.

8.0 TREATMENT OF WEAK LOCAL SPOTS, SPRINGS, JOINTS, SEAMS, ETC:

All we weathered of partly decomposed pieces of rock remaining in foundations,

shall be removed so as not to level on the foundation any rock other that which is

an integral part of the rock mass. Areas of low bearing capacity, sleep inclined

seams, faults and crushed zones in an otherwise good foundation, if permitted to be

kept, shall be cleared off to a sufficient depth before starting masonry or concrete in

as large as area as directed by the Engineer-in-charge and should be kept and

maintained dry and exposed for inspection test. In the nearby section, the excavated

layer should not disclose that the section under construction should have been

taken to the lower depths.

9.0. TREATMENT OF SEAMS, JOINTS, ETC.

Where seams, joints, crevices or other defects are found in an otherwise

satisfactory foundation, such defects shall be corrected by excavation of open

trenches to the lines, depth and dimension as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. If

after washing and clearing of the seams it is found to be unsuitable for the

foundation of the dam, it shall be further excavated as directed.

10.0 FINAL FINISHED SURFACE OF FOUNDATION:

After rough excavation to the required depth is complete. Scaling & trimming

operations for the removal of all rock loosened during rough excavation or partly

separated from the main rock mass by seams or crackes, shall be carried out by

chisels and wedges. The final prepared foundation shall present a rough surface in

cross section to give added resistance to sliding. All smooth surface shall be

roughened artificially and skin of foreign materials removed to have good bond. The

surface shall be free from steps, angles and the edges of benches shall be chamfered

approximately 45 degree. The chamfering shall b is a minimum of 30cm x 30 cm. In

case the foundation excavation at the corners or benches cannot be chamfered, the

corners shall be filled to this section of 30 cm x 30 cm by rich cement mortar in a

proportion of (1:2) Pinnacles and sharp projection shall be knocked off and

prominent knobs flattened out. Final preparation of foundation surfaces shall not

be done earlier than a week or a smaller interval that may be decided ahead of

construction of masonry on it, as the exposure for too long a time may lead to

cracks at the weak planes due to temperature variations. The contractor ay has to

start the concrete work within 24 hours of final preparation of foundation in some

special cases without claiming any extra charges. While preparing the foundations,

it will be seen that neither along the length of the dam nor across shall the

foundation have slopes exceeding angle of internal friction on rock and masonry

11.0 TESTING FOR SOUNDNESS:

The finally finished rock shall be tested by striking with a seven to eight pounds

hammer. If any loose portion of foundation rock is revealed by a hollow sound, the

same shall be removed by wedging, chiselling etc. Till a good clear ringing sound is

obtained from the rock. Notwithstanding the above criteria, the final foundation

shall be got approved in writing by the Engineer-in-charge whose decision shall be

final and binding.

12.0 MODE OF MEASURMENT AND PAYMENT:

For the purpose of measurement initial survey by levels shall be carried out of the

whole area of excavation along cross sections spaced at 5 x 5 m apart or closure

interval as per site condition. Bench marks established shall be maintained

throughout the works by permanent pillars and all excavation measurements for

overburden and rock unless some other method of acceptable to or directed by the

engineer is employed in any particular location of work. The cross sections for the

whole area of excavation shall be taken in the manner stated at the start of work

and also as and when the site changes.

The quantities shall be computed from the cross sections areas by the trapezoidal

formula only, manually or with computer. The contractor shall have to sign the

cross sections in the token of acceptance of the correctness of the working ground

levels before commencing of work, and also at the end of the work in the token of

the respective foundation levels as executed. Quantity in trial pits, pockets and

seams shall be determined by taking levels on grid with interval of 1 m or closer as

required or as directed by Engineer-in-Charge.

The rate for the respective excavation includes necessary leads, lift and disposal of

excavated stuff as directed including dewatering, The measurement will be

computed by putting the actual excavated levels and the original ground or rock

levels and calculating the area between the original and excavated line.

No payment shall be made for any silt, debris etc. That might accumulate in

excavated pits during monsoon or summer showers or otherwise on any account

and the removal thereof shall be deemed to have been included in the tendered

rates for the main items.

The payment shall be made on quantities ascertained as stated herein above and at

the rates accepted for the relevant class of materials which shall be determined by

the engineer whose decision shall be final.

No extra claim shall be entertained for any excavation in over burden and rock that

may be required to be done for widening or deepening the foundations consequent

upon lowering of foundation below those shown in the drawing or line given by

Engineer-in-charge The work so done shall be paid at the rates as specified in the

tendered item. The rates are inclusive of all lifts and lead specified in each item of
