shown on the plans L-sections. Trenches shall be excavated to the exact width at of lowest

portion of the trench and the sides shall be left vertical as far as possible or according to the

angle of repose of various soils. The contractor shall notify the Engineer before starting

excavation to enable him to take cross sectional levels for purpose of measurements before

the ground is disturbed.

3.4.2 Excavation shall be carried out in strata’s specified in item of schedule `B'. The lift will be also

as specified in Schedule `B'. Excavated material shall be stacked at a minimum distance of

other hard foundation shall be cleared off, all soft and loose material cut to a firm surface,

either level, stepped as directed by the Engineer. The Engineer may order such changes in the

dimensions and elevation of bottom of trenches and may be deemed necessary to secure

satisfactory lying of pipe lines. The contractor shall at his own expense, make provision for

all pumping, dredging bailing out of draining water and the trenches shall be kept free of

directed by Engineer-in-charge. The rate includes for such extra excavation made at the joints.

The trenches shall be excavated perfectly in straight line. The bottom of trench shall be kept

as per invert level or as directed. In obtaining formation on the bottom trench, the usual

method of leveling instruments shall adopted. The contractor shall have to provide and

maintain leveling instruments without any extra cost.

3.6.2 If case of emergencies such as unexpected rains, important public occasions, dangers to

properties etc. the contractor shall be required to fill up the excavation with necessary

consolidation, which may be re-excavated for flow test and refilled for which no extra

claim for payment and time limit shall be entertained.

3.6.3 If contractor fails or makes delay to give the flow test of the pipe line laid line any of the

section, without any genuine reasons, he shall be responsible to get re-excavate any part of

the length of trenches refill in such case (i.e. before testing for safety of pedestrian and / or

vehicular traffic) as found necessary be the Engineer-in-charge without any extra cost, if

found necessary and as directed by the Engineer-in-charge. The contractor shall have to

excavate the refilled trenches, during flow test without any extra cost.

3.6.4 In case of excavation across a road, permission of road authorities shall have to be obtained.
