value (D) and from the Bidding Document while evaluating the bids. In determining the Rupee

value of the deviations the Owner will use parameters consistent with those specified in the

The product and the equipment covered by this specification shall, unless otherwise

specifiedbe in line with the requirement of any of the latest applicable standards and will

apply in order of priority as listed below:-

a) Indian Standards

c) ANSI (American National Standards)

d) BS (British Standards)

All the Earth Pit shall be with special Ground electrodes supplied by Reputed Manufacturer.

These special electrodes are provided with Ground enhancement material.

A. EARTHING PRODUCT COMPONENT SPECS

- The Earthing System should be based on use of Copper Bonded Earth Rods / Pipe electrode/PIP

electrode (for corrosion resistance) and Ground Enhancement Material (to reduce Soil Resistivity).

- It should be capable of providing any ohmic value as specified by the client, by interconnection of

ground rods to form a Grid.

- The system shall be totally maintenance free and require no periodic or scheduled maintenance

for a period of at least 30 years.

- There shall be no requirement to add water or any other chemical any time after initial

- There should be no requirement to have a inspection/maintenance chamber. The system shall

provide constant low ohmic value for entire life cycle without any consideration for moisture or

temperature conditions.

- The system shall be in use world wide for a period of at least 20 years.

- The manufacturer shall be a company of international repute engaged in the field of Facility

Electrical Protection work.

(1) COPPER BONDED EARTH RODS

- The Earth Rods shall have a nominal (actual) dia of 20mm (Min.) and length of 3 M.

- The Rods shall have a steel core with molecular bonding of 250 micron of copper as per

international standards.

- A nickel layer is applied to steel core (and subsequently copper) by an electrolytic process

forming a metallurgical bond between the three.

- The copper used shall be type DHP alloy No. 122 CDA and rated at 99.95% copper. The

thickness of copper layer shall be uniform 250 micron.

- The Rods should be manufactured by a company of high repute to ensure quality of

Copper Bonding.

- The Rods should have been subjected to long term study to verify the claims of corrosion

resistivity made by the manufacturers

(2) PIPE or PIP (Pipe-In-Pipe) ELECTRODE

- It shall be capable to carry out the fault current as per GETCO standard considerations.

- It should have been subjected to long term study to verify the claims of corrosion resistivity

made by the manufacturers.

C. GROUND ENHANCE MENT MATERIAL / BACK FILL / GROUNDING

- Ground Enhancement Material/ Backfill / Grounding compound shall be permanent and

maintenance free. (No re- charging with salts or any other chemicals) and shall maintain its

earth resistance with time.

- Ground Enhancement Material/ Backfill / Grounding compound shall confirm IEEE 80-

2000 Clause No.14.5 (d)

- It must set up firmly and not dissolve or decompose or otherwise pollute the soil or the local

Seal & Signature of Bidder - 70 -- It shall be suitable for use in dry form or slurry form.

Seal and signature of contractor

- The Ground Enhancement Material/ Backfill / Grounding compound shall not depend on

the continuous presence of water to maintain its conductivity.

- Ground Enhancement Material/ Backfill / Grounding compound in its set form shall have a

resistivity of not more than 0.12 ohm-m.

- The material should have been subjected to long term study to verify the claims made by

manufacturers about its soil resistivity reducing qualities.

- The material shall have been tested in a reputed laboratory for not containing any

hazardous chemicals as per EPA Chapter-7.

- The material shall be carbon based conductive concrete and shall not contain bentonite in

- The bottom 300 mm of the bore hole shall be filled with good quality preferably black

cotton soil. The balance length of the bore shall be filled entirely with the backfill

compound in pure form without mixing with soil. The compound shall bond tightly with the

electrode and become a solid mass.

- Each Earth Rod/pipe must be provided with a suitable clamp to facilitate Inter-connection

of rods and connection to Equipment Earth Bar using appropriate copper/GI strip or

The product shall be guaranteed for trouble free operation for a period of 30 years from date

of commission or arrival at site which ever is later. Any defect discovered during this period

shall be rectified free of charge. The pits shall be drawn with the help of a boring machine,

an auger or any other means as required by site conditions and nature of ground strata.

Drawing No. GETCO/E/STD/P-021 (1 of 2 & 2 of 2), DTD.30.07.14 shall be used for

Important Note:

Terms “CI Pipe Electrode” and “Treated Electrode” shall be replaced by “Maintenance

free Treated Earth pit” wherever written in Earthing Philosophy as well as applicable

equipment earthing drawings.
