truly in the plane of the furnished plaster surface and truly plumb. The mortar shall then be

applied to the surface to be plastered between the guides with a trowel. Each trowel full of

mortar shall overlap and sufficient pressure shall be used to force it into thorough contact

with the surface. On relatively smooth surfaces, the mortar shall be dashed on with the

trowel to ensure adequate bond. The mortar shall be applied to a thickness slightly more

than that specified, using a string, stretched out between the guides. This shall then be

brought to a true surface by working with a long wooden float with small sawing motion.

The surface shall be periodically checked with a string stretched across it. Finally the

surface shall be rendered smooth with a small wooden float, over working shall be

avoided. All corners, arises, and junctions shall be brought truly to a line with any

necessary rounding or chamfering.

General

Page 73: Scope and Specifications

163 Section VII. Work Requirements

Bulges, depressions and offsets are defined as concrete surface irregularities.

Concrete surface irregularities are classified as “abrupt” or “gradual” and are measured

relative to the actual concrete surface.

Abrupt Surface Irregularities: Abrupt surface irregularities are defined herein as offsets

such as those caused by misplaced or loose forms, loose knots in form Lumber, or other

similar forming faults. Abrupt surface irregularities are measured using a straight edge held

firmly against the concrete surface over the irregularity and the magnitude of the offset is

determined by direct measurement.

Gradual Surface Irregularities

Gradual surface irregularities are defined herein as bulges and depressions resulting

in gradual changes on the concrete surface. Gradual surface irregularities are measured

using a suitable template conforming to the design profile of the concrete surface being

examined. The magnitude of the gradual surface irregularities is defined herein as a

measure of the rate of change in slopes of the concrete surface. The surface irregularities

shall not exceed 6 mm for bottom slab and 12 mm for side slopes when tested with a

straight edge of 1.5 metres in length. The magnitude of gradual surface irregularities on

old work, particular attention being paid to corners and close spots, and work thereafter

shall proceed in the normal way.

6.2.12 Placing:

General

The Bidder shall notify the Engineer-in-Charge before batching begins for placement of

concrete. Placing shall be performed only in the presence of an authorized Engineer’s

representative. Placement shall not begin until after all preparations are complete to the

satisfaction of the Engineer-in-Charge.

All surfaces upon or against which concrete is to be placed shall be prepared in

accordance with paragraph 6.2.11.

Retampering of concrete will not be permitted. Any concrete which has becomes so stiff

that proper placing cannot be assured shall be wasted.

Concretes shall not be placed in standing water except with written permission of the

Engineer-in-Charge and the method of placing shall be subject to approval. Concrete shall

not be placed in running water and shall not be subjected to running water until after the

concrete has hardened.

Concrete shall be deposited as nearly as practical in its final position and shall not be

allowed to flow in such a manner that the lateral movement will cause segregation of the

coarse aggregate from the concrete mass. Methods and equipment employed in

depositing concrete informs shall minimize clusters of coarse aggregate. Clusters that

occur shall be scattered before the concrete is vibrated.

Forms shall be constantly monitored and their position adjusted as necessary during

concrete placement in accordance with paragraph 6.2.8.

All concrete shall be placed in approximately horizontal layers. The depth of layers shall

not exceed 25 cm. The Engineer-in-Charge reserves the right to require lesser depths of

layers where concrete cannot otherwise be placed and consolidated in accordance with

the requirements of these specifications. All construction joints which intersect exposed

concrete surface shall be made straight and level to plumb as shown otherwise on the

drawings.

The placing of concrete shall be in accordance with clause 12.2 of I.S.456/1978.

If concrete is placed monolithically around openings having vertical dimensions greater

than 60 cm. or if concrete in decks, floor slabs or other similar parts of structures is placed

Page 78: Scope and Specifications

168 Section VII. Work Requirements

monolithically with supporting concrete, the following requirements shall be strictly

observed.

Concrete shall be placed upto the top of the formed openings at which point further

placement will be delayed to accommodate settlement of fresh concrete. If levels are

specified beneath nearly horizontal structural members such as decks, floor slabs, beams

and girders, such bevels being between the nearly horizontal members and the vertical

supporting concrete below, concrete shall be placed to the bottom of the levels before

delay of placement.

The last 60 cm or more of concrete placed below horizontal members of levels shall be

placed with a 50 mm or less slump and shall be thoroughly consolidated.

In placing concrete on unformed slopes so steep as to make internal vibration of the

concrete impractical without forming, the concrete shall be placed ahead of non-vibrating

slip form screed extending approximately 0.75 metres back from its leading edge.

Concrete ahead of the slip form screed shall be consolidated by internal vibrators so as to

insure complete filling under the slip form.

A cold joint is an unplanned joint resulting when a concrete surface hardens before the

next batch is placed against it. Cold joints will be allowed only in the event of equipment

breakdown or other unavoidable prolonged interruption of continuous placing. If such

unavoidable delays in placing occur which make it appear that unconsolidated concrete

may harden to the extent that alter vibration will not fully consolidate it, the Bidder shall

immediately consolidate such concrete to a stable and uniform slope. If delay of placement

is then short enough to permit penetration of the underlying concrete, placement shall

resume with particular care being taken to thoroughly penetrate and reverberate the

concrete surface placed before the delay. If concrete cannot be penetrated with vibrator,

the cold joint shall be then treated as a construction joint.

Care shall be taken to prevent cold joints when placing concrete in any part of the work.

The concrete placing rate shall insure concrete is placed while the previously placed

adjacent concrete is plastic so that the concrete can be made monolithic by normal use of

vibrators.

Concrete shall not be placed in rain sufficiently heavy or prolonged to wash mortar from

concrete. A cold joint may necessary result from prolonged heavy rainfall.

The bidder shall not be entitled to any additional payment, over the unit prices bid in the

schedule for concrete, by reason of any limitation in the placing of concrete required under

the provisions of this paragraph.

undesirable air voids from the concrete, including the air voids trapped against the forms.

After consolidation, the concrete shall be free of rock pockets and honey bomb areas and

shall be closed snugly against all surfaces of forms and embedded materials. All concrete

shall be properly consolidated before it hardens.

Except as hereinafter provided, consolidation of all concrete shall be by immersion

type vibrators. Immersion type vibrators shall be operated in nearly vertical position and

the vibrating head shall penetrate and reverbate the concrete in the upper portion of the

underlying layer. Care shall be exercised to avoid contact of the vibrating head with

embedded items and with formed surfaces which will later be exposed to view. Concrete

shall not be placed upon either plastic concrete until the previously placed concrete has

been thoroughly consolidated.

10.3 Transporting and handling pipes, specials, app urtenances and safety, cutting,

handling and safety 10.3.1 Transporting and handling: Pipes and fittings must not be dropped, indented, crushed or impacted. Particular care

should be taken to avoid scoring, scrapping and abrasion damage. Scores or scratches to

a depth of 10% or more of wall thickness are sufficient to require rejection of the pipes and

fittings. Pipes must not be stored or transported where they are exposed to heat sources

likely to exceed 70O C e.g., vehicle exhaust gases.

10.3.2 Safety Precautions:- i) PE particles can be abrasive if they enter eyes. ii) Molten PE produced by welding operation will adhere strongly to the skin in the event

of accidental contact. Should this occur, the affected part should be flooded with cold

water. The molten or solidified material should not be removed from the skin and medical

assistance should be obtained even for small burns.

iii) Molten PE will yield a small quantity of fume especially at high temperatures. Work

areas where welding is being carried out should be ventilated for safe working conditions.

iv) In the event of fire, there are no restrictions on the type of extinguisher which can be used. 10.3.3 Storage. Pipe packs should be place on timber bearers approximately 2m c/c. Avoid long term

stacking of pipes. Providing proper regard is given to sideways stability (ex: wind forces),

packs which are usually 1.2 meters wide may be stacked up to 3m in height for straight

pipes. Coils stacked horizontally shall be placed on pallets for convenient lifting or slinging

and the height of coils shall be limited to 1.0m in height.

10.3.4 Lifting and unloading. Metal hooks, chains or slings must not be used without padding for lifting coils or

pipes. Care shall be taken to avoid injury to personnel when cutting the steel restraining

bands on coils.

iv) Compressible material must be used around the pipe in the concrete. 10.6 EMBEDMENT (i.e., refilling the trenches up to 50-100mm above the top of pipe.)

Pipes should not be buried in contact with soil particle sizes larger than the lesser of 5%

dia of the pipe of 20mm. Soil clods must be excluded from the pipe embedment zone (i.e.,

from top of bedding to the top of overlay) and under no circumstances should temporary

supports such as bricks or timber be left under or in contact with pipes. If the excavated

material is not granular, suitable granular material duly compacted should be provided in

this zone in 50-100mm layers up to 50-100mm above the top of pipe.

10.7 CONCRETE ENCASEMENT AND THRUST (OR ANCHOR) BLO CKS Pipes may be encased in concrete wherever necessary with provision for a

mechanical key such as a welded thrust flange. Compressible material at least 3mm thick

and at approximately 150mm from the face of concrete into the concrete shall be provided

around pipes at the entry point and exit points to eliminate any potential sharp edges from

rubbing against the pipe wall. Pipelines shall not be filled with water until the concrete has

developed sufficient strength.

10.8 REFILLING THE TRENCHES OVER THE EMBEDMENT. a) It shall be done as specified for CI pipes except as provided herein. b) Delay the final back filling after compacting the embedment around the pipe until a

cooler period in the day to permit the pipe line to contract in length. Mechanical joints,

especially flanged joints should be left exposed if possible until the line is tested. Pipes

should not be left uncovered where there is a possibility of the trench filling with water due

to rain, etc., as floatation of the empty pipeline will occur unless it is back filled to a height

of at least several diameters. Backfill the trench above the embedment zone.

10.9 JOINTING METHODS.

Jointing between HDPE pipes and specials shall be done as per the latest IS: 7643 part II.

Method of jointing between the pipes to pipes and pipes to specials shall be with butt fusion

welding using automatic or semi automatic, hydraulically operated, superior quality butt fusion

machines which will ensure good quality butt fusion welding up to of HDPE pipes.

The commonly used joints are as follows :-

1. Insert type joints.

2. Compression fittings.

3. Fusion welding.

4. Threaded Joints

5. Flanged joints, and

6. Telescopic joints.

It is recommended to adopt Fusion Welding as this is a permanent type of joint Fusion welding is commonly used in HDPE and is permanent type of joint.

Page 115: Scope and Specifications

205 Section VII. Work Requirements

10.9.1 Butt fusion welding: Jointing the HDPE pipes must be done with Butt welding equipment with the

temperature and pressure recording arrangements. The pipe line may be laid along side

the trench and jointed there thereafter the jointed pipe line shall be lowered into the trench

carefully without causing undue bending. The pipeline shall be laid inside the trench with a

slack of about 0.5 m per 100m of pipe line (pipe line to be laid in a sinuous alignment.)

Pipe to be joined must be of the same wall thickness and the ends must be cut

square. Unmatched wall thickness will require matching or chamfering of the greater

thickness at an angle of 5 deg (1:4) or less to give the same thickness. The success of

each weld is extremely dependent of cleanliness, temperature control and good equipment

which has been properly maintained. The pipe ends should be dry and free of dust.

Mating surfaces must be planed immediately before welding to remove surface material as

polyethylene (PE) oxidizes on exposure to air. If these prepared surfaces are touched,

there is a risk of contamination.

The timing of the welding sequence is most important if consistent quality of weld id to

be obtained. Times for the simultaneous heating of the pipe ends against the hot plate

(mirror), mirror removal, the pressing of the melted pipe ends together to give required

amount and shape of bead material and finally the cooling time whilst maintaining pressure

are all of critical importance.

If the pipe temperature is not uniform (eg: when welded is carried out in direct

sunlight) an uneven pipe wall temperature will exist which could affect the uniformity of the

weld. This temperature difference must be equalized by shielding the weld zone well in

advance of making the joint. Covers on the ends of pipes remote from the weld will

prevent cooling air from passing through the pipe interior and assist in keeping weld zone

temperatures uniform.

If the pipe temperature is not uniform (eg: when welded is carried out in direct

sunlight) an uneven pipe wall temperature will exist which could affect the uniformity of the

weld. This temperature difference must be equalized by shielding the weld zone well in

advance of making the joint. Covers on the ends of pipes remote from the weld will

prevent cooling air from passing through the pipe interior and assist in keeping weld zone

temperatures uniform.

Page 116: Scope and Specifications

206 Section VII. Work Requirements

The temperature of the hot plate will be in the range 200+10 deg C (takes about 30

minutes for electrical heating and more for blow torch) with the higher temperature

recommended for PE 80 to PE 100 welds. When welding is being performed in windy

conditions, the temperature may need to be raised slightly compensate for air cooling. If

the temperature is too high, there is a risk of thermal degradation of the PE resulting in a

weak joint. If it is too low, it causes a weak joint due to insufficient melted material. The

temperature of the hot plate must therefore be checked regularly. For detecting the correct

temperature crayon chalk shall be used. Around 200 degC,thecolour of crayon dot on the

mirror changes within 2 seconds.The dot made shall be thin and if not, time taken will be

more indicating a wrong temperature. It is important that the correct heating, jointing and

cooling times be used. Excessive heating time will have the same effect as a temperature

which is too high and possibly cause thermal degradation. Too short a heating time will

result in insufficient melted material. The heating,jointing and cooling time should not vary

significantly from the times shown in the table below. Otherwise the joint will not develop

full strength. Longer cooling times are however permissible. Excessive pressure will

squeeze the melted PE out of the joint and weaken it.

Excessive pressure will squeeze the melted PE out of the joint and weaken it. b) Butt fusion procedure. i. Clamp the pipes in the butt fusion machine. ii. If practicable keep the brand markings in life. iii. Wipe the pipe ends, inside and out, with a clean cloth to remove water, dift, muck etc.,

Page 117: Scope and Specifications

207 Section VII. Work Requirements

iv. Align the pipe ends and clamp in place v. Plane both ends until they are perfectly square. vi Remove the plastic shavings from the vicinity of pipe ends without touching the

prepared surface as any contamination at this stage will be detrimental to the welding

process.

vii. Bring together the two pipe ends and ensure they are aligned. viii Check the hot plate (mirror) temperature (range 200-240 deg C) and make certain

the surfaces are clean. It is good practice to make dummy welds daily, prior to welding

sessions as a means of cleaning the mirror. That is, the weld procedure should be taken

to the heat soak stage, when the process can be aborted. The hot plate surfaces must not

be touched with metal implements or tools. A damaged or dirty mirror will result in a poor

joint.

ix. Move the pipe ends in to contact with the hot plate and a steady pressure of about

2 kg/sq.cm (P1) while a uniform bead forms around the circumference of both pipe ends.

This procedure is to ensure that the entire face of the pipe heats uniformly through positive

contact with the mirror.

x. When a satisfactory bead height has formed, relieve the pressure but maintain

contact pressure between the plate and pipe ends of 0.5 kg/sq.cm (P2) until the

recommended time t2 (heat soak time) has elapsed.

xi. Back the pipe ends away from the mirror. When removing the mirror, make sure it

is not wiped across the molten pipe ends.

Xii Relax the contact pressure and carefully remove the clamps only after ensuring

the joint has fully solidified. Do not stress the joint or debead until the required cooling

time has elapsed.

10.9.2 Flanged Joints

These are used for jointing MDPE and HDPE pipes particularly of larger size to valves and vessels

and large size metal pipes where strength in tension is required.

It consists of flanges either loose or welded to the pipe ends. It is recommended that suitable

metallic backing plates be used to support the polyethylene flanges to enable them to be bolted

Page 118: Scope and Specifications

208 Section VII. Work Requirements

together. Injection moulded polyethylene flanges with metal inserts of 6 to 9 mm thickness may

also be used. In most cases, sealing is improved by incorporating a natural or synthetic rubber

gasket between polyethylene flanges (see Fig 6.).

10.9.3 Telescopic Joint

Any joint (socket and spigot type) that permits sliding of the free end (spigot end) inside the socket

with a rubber or suitable gasket, without any leakage is called telescopic joint.

The socket could be an integral part of the pipe at one end or two ends or a special coupler into

which the free ends (spigot ends) of the pipes are pushed to achieve a water tight joint.

These joints are normally weak in longitudinal pull and hence need anchoring wherever such a

tendency of longitudinal pull is likely in the pipe line. In the case of telescopic joints, one external

anchorage is generally necessary at each end of the pipe line, at valve and at all changes of

direction. The supports of the side connection should ensure that excessive lateral bending does

not occur. In small diameter the coupler itself could be modified to have a split, threaded, grip type

gasket of hard materials in addition to “O” ring type of rubber gasket (for water tightness) to

prevent any slipping out of the free end of the pipe in longitudinal pull.

10.9.4 Test to Establish Perfectibility/potability of work

Specimen of pipe shall be tested to establish the suitability for use in carrying potable water

(i) Smell of the extract

(ii) Clarity of the colour of the extract

(iii) Acidity and Alkality

(iv) Global migration UV absorbing material Heavy metals

(v) Unreacted monomers (styrens) and biological tests

10.10 QUALITY CONTROL a) Visual inspection of joints. i. The beads should be uniform and symmetrical without any sharp notches. Refer

the butt fusion weld section profiles given below which are useful to check the quality of

joints.

ii. Inspection of Bead after removal: Use an approved bead removal tool to remove

the bead. Do not remove bead by chipping or chiseling. Examine the underside of bead.

It shall be solid and rounded with a broad root. Hollow beads with a thin root or curled

edges should be rejected. (When the bead is bent to reverse the curvature, there

Page 119: Scope and Specifications

209 Section VII. Work Requirements

should be no sign of any slits or fissures (given below)

b) Melt area assessment: The joint being tested is cut transversely into a strip approximately 20mm wide and

150mm long. A small flame played on the exposed cut edge of the weld will cause

differential shrinkage of the fusion melt and the parent pipe. The pattern thus created will

illustrate whether too much pressure has been applied and thus squeezed out most of the

melt.

c) Tensile strength The test specimens are to be prepared as shown in the figure below. Condition the specimens in air at 20+2 deg C for, <12 hours for pipes of wall

thickness up to and including 12.7mm or < 24 hours for pipes of wall thickness over 12.7

mm.

Test specimen containing the weld zone is shall not fail to a stress which must not be less than 0.8 of that of the virgin parent pipe. The test is performed with the bead removed. A normal pressure test on a welded pipe sample at 80 deg C should meet the requirements for pipe which does not contain weld material. The grip separation rate should 50mm /min + 10% Note the failure stress and mode of failure (ductile, tearing or brittle failure) d) Acceptance criteria. If all specimens are visually sound and separate in a ductile manner,the welding can

be judged as satisfactory. If the specimens exhibit brittle separation modes, the welds of

the batch require further investigation. Number of samples to be tested is given below.

TREE PLANTATION STRATEGY

1. Introduction

The plantation scheme for the proposed water supply project was prepared based on

requirements of IRC: SP: 21 / 2009 and the major locations identified in the project are

WTP, ELSRs, and Pump houses. The care towards the plantation is taken during the

design stage itself to mitigate the pollution & enhance the aesthetic and scenic beauty of

the proposed water supply scheme.

2. Objectives

The main objectives of tree plantation are as follows:

Reducing the impacts of air pollution

Natural noise barrier

Arrest of land erosion

Providing much needed shade during the daytime

Enhancement of an aesthetic view of the sub-project areas.

Climatic amelioration

3. Species Selection

Grasses, shrubs and trees are the main species that are readily available in India.

Where possible, the use of non-native species should be avoided since they can out

compete and displace native plants leading to loss of native biodiversity. To maximize the

chances of success, one should try to select species whose growing conditions roughly

match the environmental conditions of the project site. Care should also be taken to select

species with root systems that match the nature of the soil movement at the project site.

During the selection of species preference should be given towards rapid growing and pest

and disease resistant species. Flowering, ornamentals plants and climbers can also be

planted in the project to provide beauty.

4. Plantation Pattern

The type of plantation would be based upon the requirements and the feasibility of

the sites along the project corridor. The availability of the space in the WTP, ELSRs, and

Pump houses is a major guiding factor for plantation. The plantation pattern to be followed

is:

Page 128: Scope and Specifications

218 Section VII. Work Requirements

• The first row of plants along the outer periphery of the GLSR & ELSRs and along

the pump houses will be of small to medium height plants planted at a spacing of

3m c/c and the distance from the second row should be 3m. The plants for the

second row are mainly shade bearing species. The height of the plant should be

between 1.5m to 2m.

5. Tasks of the Contractor

Each tree should be firmly secured to the stake so as to prevent excessive

movement. Abrasion must be avoided by using a buffer, rubber or Hessian, between the

tree and stake. The tree should be secured at a point just below its lowest branch, and

also just above ground level: normally two ties should be used for tree. These should be

adjusted or replaced to allow for growth.

6.2.7 Watering

The Contractor should allow for the adequate watering in of all newly planted

trees immediately after planting and he shall during the following growing season, keep the

plant material well watered throughout the maintenance period of one year.
