stoppages of labour, or revolution, riots, civil or political disturbance or by the contractor not being given

possession of the site or by the Corporation taking possession of & using the site or part thereof or the

works or part thereof or any part of the work or delayed supply of material by the Corporation or by the

not receiving any orders, drawings, instructions or directions in time or by the suspensions if the works

or by fire, flood exceptionally bad weather tempest , storm or by from unforeseen circumstances(&

whether the same shall be due to any act or omission of the Corporation or it’s representatives) the

carried out at all by the contractor, he shall give notice in writing of the fact to the contractor who shall

thereupon suspend or stop the work totally or partially as the case may be. In any case except as

provided hereunder, the contractor shall have no claim to any payment or compensation whatsoever on

account of any profit or advantage which he might have derived from the execution of the work in full

but he did not so derive in consequence of the full amount of the work not having being carried out, or

on account of any loss that he may be put on account of materials purchased or agreed to be

purchased or for unemployment of labour recruited by him. He shall not also have any claim for

compensation but reason of any alterations having been made in the original specifications, drawings,

designs & instructions that may involve any curtailment of the work as originally contemplated. Where

however, materials have already been purchased or agreed to be purchased by the contractor, before

receipt of the aforesaid notice, the contractor shall be paid for such materials at the rate determined by

the Corporation, provided they would have been useful for the work curtailed or stopped are not in

excess of requirements are of approved quality & cannot be used on other contract works or otherwise

by the contractor &/or shall be compensated for the loss if any, that he may put to, on respect of

materials agreed to be purchased by him, the amount of such compensation to be determined by the

in the area, and subsurface conditions encountered during drilling. The depth of

exploration may be modified during the investigation, with the approval of

GETCO, to ensure that sufficient information is obtained for safe and economical

foundation design.

Where low bearing capacity strata, highly compressible soils, expansive soils,

loose saturated deposits, liquefiable strata, or other adverse subsurface

conditions are encountered, the depth of exploration shall be extended as

necessary to establish the characteristics of the underlying competent strata and

to evaluate the suitability of shallow or deep foundations.

Where deeper compressible strata are encountered or where the primary

investigation indicates that pile foundations may be required, the boreholes shall

generally be extended up to 20 m below ground level or up to refusal, whichever

occurs earlier.

In areas comprising loose saturated sandy strata, reclaimed land, coastal

deposits, alluvial formations, or sites identified as potentially susceptible to

liquefaction based on geological conditions, seismic considerations, or preliminary

investigations, the depth of exploration shall generally be extended up to 30 m

below ground level or deeper, if required, based on engineering judgment and

approval of GETCO, to adequately assess liquefaction susceptibility and establish

the engineering properties of the underlying strata.

The final depth of exploration shall be governed by the subsurface conditions

encountered, geological setting, proposed foundation system, and foundation

design requirements, and may be further increased wherever considered

necessary by GETCO.

4.1.4. Rock Exploration

Where refusal is encountered during boring, the borehole shall be advanced by

chiselling or other suitable means to confirm the presence of rock. Upon

confirmation of rock strata, rotary core drilling shall be carried out and

representative rock cores shall be collected. Coring shall continue for a minimum

depth of 3 m into sound rock or until a core recovery of not less than 95% is

achieved, whichever requirement governs.

4.4.2. Sub-soil Water Sampling

Representative groundwater samples shall be collected from boreholes

water, drilling mud, or other contaminants. Where groundwater has been affected

by drilling operations or surface runoff, the borehole shall be dewatered and

allowed to stabilize before collecting the sample.

Samples shall be collected, preserved, labelled, and transported in clean airtight

containers in accordance with relevant IS Codes. Sufficient quantity of water

samples shall be obtained for chemical analysis.

The chemical analysis shall include, but not be limited to, determination of pH,

chlorides, sulphates, carbonates, bicarbonates, nitrates, organic matter,

suspended solids, and other constituents likely to affect the durability of

concrete, steel, and foundation performance.
