below the ground level, the top portion of the strata being normal dry soil. Soil strata for adopting various types of foundations

1. FOUNDATION :

i. The excavation will be limited to the volumes as per approved excavation drawings even though the Bidder may excavate

more for the sake of his own convenience or for any reasons. If the excavated dimension/s is/are more than the dimension/s

shown in the approved drawing, the additional excavated volume should be filled in with M10 mixture concrete at Bidders

cost in respect of materials, labours etc.

ii. In case of rock soil, the extra excavated rock portion on all sides shall be filled with M20 mix concrete at his own cost in respect

of materials, labours etc.

iii. The rates indicated in schedule for excavation work in each soil shall be applicable to all the locations as per actual condition

of the soil strata irrespective of classification of type of foundation.

iv. The rates for excavation indicated in schedule shall also be applicable for benching work, if required.

b. EXCAVATION IN ROCK : Where towers are to be planted in rock, suitable holes should be drilled, but if drilling is difficult,

blasting may be resorted to, but sufficient care should be taken to eliminate the possibility of serious cracking of the rock. Care

should also be taken to minimize the concreting for filling blasted areas. Stubs may be shortened suitably in case of drilled

holes as per design drawings.

c. Curing and back-filling :

i. After 24 hours of pouring, the concrete should be cured by keeping it continuously wet for 14 days. After 48 hours of pouring,

the pit may be backfilled with excavated selected earth (which is free from grass, dung, wooden waste, postures and fodder

woods, shrubs, thorn etc.) sprinkled with necessary amount of water and well compressed and consolidated in layers not

exceeding 150 mm. If the excavated soil consists of large boulders/stone, the same shall be broken to maximum size 80 mm

and mixed with soil to be back filled. At the locations where borrowed earth is required for back filling, this shall be done by

the Bidder at his own cost, irrespective of transportation from any land. Thereafter, the exposed top end fill shall be kept wet

for the remainder of above prescribed curing period. The uncovered portion of concrete chimney above the back filled earth

shall be kept wet by providing empty gunny bags fully wrapped around the concrete chimney for curing and ensure that the

bags are kept wet by frequent pouring of water on them.

ii. Extra ordinary care shall be taken during back filling. The Bidder and GETCO Engineer at site shall ensure that the back filling

is done in the manner referred above so that back-filled earth become homogeneous with surrounding parent soil with the

passage of time. The record for the same with day/date of curing, back filling etc be maintained in the register and duly signed

by the Bidder and GETCO representative. The quantities of excavated earth obtained from a particular location shall be

generally utilized in back filling work in protection of tower footing of same location unless it is unsuitable for such purpose.

In the later case, the back filling shall be done with borrowed earth of suitable quality irrespective of land and the consolidation

of earth shall also be done free of cost.

iii. The excavation of pits shall be of size 2`x 2`x 7`(600 x 600 x 2100mm) where the condition of soil is normal and size of the pits

should be 2`x 2`x 7 ½` (600 x 600 x 2500mm) where very soft soil is encountered and in this case bottom 6” (150mm) shall be

first concreted ( Ratio 1:3:6 / M-15) and well settled before the structure is erected only if so directed by Engineer in charge

of work. The concrete otta of size 0.4 x 0.4 x 0.3 Mtr. shall be provided and it shall be slopping towards all sides as per

instruction of Engineer in charge. If size of pits are increased more then the given specification no extra payments shall be paid

to the contractor. Due to this the extra concreting will have to be done at the cost of contractor. The excavation in HR / SR for

any items shall be paid extra.

Back filling on the structures shall be done after fixing of earth wire so that wire may not remain out and with mixture of murrum

and field metal for back filling the excavated stuff can be used if it is found suitable for doing so and it is not of very soft nature.

The consolidated back filling materials, should be well wetted and rammed and packed tight. Any sub sequent sinking of the

soil or any fitting of the structure will have to be attended by the contractor free of cost and to the satisfaction of the concern

Deputy Engineer / Executive Engineer. When very hard rock is encountered the depth of the excavation shall be 6` (1800mm)

or shall be reduced by more with written permission of Executive Engineer, where as resulting in tapering excavation, but in

no case the bottom of the pit should be less than 1` x 1` (300 x 300 mm).

iv. All the structures and metal parts will be given one coat of red oxide paint before erection and two coats of Asian / Burgor /

Nerolac make Silver Aluminum after erection including supply of paint. Lowest portion of about 7` (2100 mm) shall be painted

with two coats of good quality of black bituminous anti-corrosive paint. After complete drying of the red oxide coat, the coat

of silver paint will be applied as a final coat before applying any paint, all steel members are to be completely cleaned with

wire brush or rust remover, if initial coat of primer is not given to the issued items. The paint should be get approved before

supplied for change if any.

v. Only girders will be issued at one end of the line. The work under the item (erection of structure) includes transportation of

structures with all accessories from the specified center to the work site, lifting of the all members, excavation in all sort of

soil, erection, painting, painting, numbering, fitting of anti-climbing device, danger boards, muffing etc. The NP, DP, and ACD

are to be supplied by the contractor. Rates for concreting of structure shall be paid extra.
