: GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

1. Details of categories of check codes A,B & C including accepting and deviation dispositioning

authorities are indicated at annexure-I

2. GETCO specification shall mean GETCO technical specification, approved drawings data sheets

and Law provisions applicable for the specific contract.

3. Acceptance criteria and permissible limits shall be as per relevant Indian Standards and/ or

prevalent code of practice / GETCO specifications.

4. It is clarified that the tests indicated at column 2 of this FQP i.e. against column “component

operation & Description of test “, are only generally required to be conducted. However, GETCO

reserves the right to carry out any additional tests at any stage if the situation so warrants.

5. SE (TR) of circle shall approve testing laboratory before accepting the test results from the lab.

6. SE (TR) of circle shall approve the sources for cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate & water

before actual utilization.

7. All the testing & measuring equipment used by the contractor for testing are required to be

calibrated. A Copy of valid calibration report shall be retained by GETCO based on the joint

8. Classification of foundations shall be approved by GETCO based on the joint inspection report &

Soil investigation reports.

9. Zone-IV fine aggregate shall be used for nominal mix. Reinforced cement-concreting work.

Zone-IV fine aggregate shall be avoided for design mix reinforced cement concreting work unless

tests have been done to ascertain the suitability of proposed with the prior approval GETCO sit.

10. Bricks should be free from cracks, flaws and modules of free lime. They should have smooth

rectangular faces with sharp corners and should be uniform in color.

In case of cement is in the scope of the contractor, the same shall be procured from sources

approved by GETCO site and got tested on sample basis for specified acceptance tests as specified

in the FQP at a reputed third party lab approved by GETCO site.

The samples of cement for site testing shall be taken within three week of the delivery and all

the tests shall be commenced within one week of sampling. If the cement remains in store for a

period of more than Six months. All the site tests are required to repeated before usage.

The source and grade of cement shall be as per approved design mix.

12. Reinforcement steel & structural steel used in cable trenches & foundations

In case supply of steel is in the scope of the contractor, the same shall be procured from the

main producers i.e. SAIL, TISCO, IISCO or RashtriyaIspat Nigam or the rollers approved by main

The results of testing of cement and reinforcement steel referred in 12.1 and 13.1 above shall

be got approved from GETCO site before cement and reinforcement steel are put to use.

However, in exceptional cases due to exigencies of work, GETCO site may authorize the

contractor to use cement and reinforcement steel even before the test results are received.

However, in all such cases, if the test results subsequently received are found to be not complying

with the specified acceptance criteria, the contractor shall have to dismantle and recast all such

foundations cast with such non-conforming materials at his own cost. Confirmation to this effect

shall be obtained from the contractor by the project authorities beforehand in all such cases.

13. The contractor shall submit welding procedure specification (WPS) including the type of electrode

used for approval of GETCO site before staring the welding work. The welder with proper

certificate shall be deployed

14. Approval/acceptance of individual test results by GETCO in the course of execution of contract

will neither relieve the contractor from his contractual obligations and responsibilities, nor does

it limit the owner’s right under the contract.

15. In case, requirement of special items like super sulphate cement, corrosive resistant

Steel (CRS) etc. arise due to site conditions, the specific approval of GETCO may be obtained

before using the same and all the tests as per relevant standards shall be carried out.

16. All the materials shall be stored by the contractor in a manner affording convenient access for

identification and inspection at all the times. Storage of material shall be in accordance with IS:
