4.02.00                    Design of infrastructural facilities

  • Roads

The sub base over the well compacted subgrade of all plant service roads within this package will initially be made of well graded granular material like crushed stone as per IRC-63 with hard shoulder on either side of carriage width.

All RCC Roads and parking area shall be designed in accordance with the provision of the latest edition of the relevant I.R.C. codes of practice and MOST specification (MORT&H) for movement of equipments.

The sub-grade whether in cut or fill shall be well compacted to utilize its full strength. The R.C.C roads of required thickness as per design shall be laid over crushed stone sub-base of 230 mm consolidated thickness with 63 mm downgraded aggregate size.

The additional roads and access to individual buildings/structures/facilities within scope of this specification which are not specifically shown in layout but required from functional requirement shall be considered by the Bidder.

Finished top (crest) of roads shall be 250 mm above the surrounding grade level.

Access within the plant site as well as to building / structures shall be provided as a system of roadwork.

4.02.02                    Micro Area Grading

Initial site leveling & Area Grading works of the entire plant area has already

been carried out by Owner. However, final micro leveling for the relevant area is to be done by the successful Bidder.

Site leveling and grading for the relevant plant area in this package shall be within scope of this contract. Work shall have to be carried out as per grading layout plan approved by the Owner/ Owner’s Engineer. All existing drains/channels in the plant and other areas associated with the plant shall be suitably diverted before taking up any construction. These diversions shall be so designed as to ensure effective disposal of water without any accumulation or flooding in adjoining areas.

4.02.03                    Drainage System

Attempts will be made to convert construction drains into main drain as far as practicable.

All the drains along with the Plinth protection will be of RCC, where there is no wheel load, i.e. not adjacent to vehicular road. All other connecting drains also will be of RCC.

The invert of the in-plant peripheral drains shall be kept such that water can be discharged by gravity to the drain under all condition. RCC pipe culverts/box culverts will carry drainage under intercepting roads and railway tracks. Suitably designed underground storm water RCC piping on the basis of design loads specified elsewhere in this specification shall be limited to required areas where surface drainage ways are not desirable or practicable from other functional point of view. Class of RCC pipes shall be decided by Bidder as per design requirement. For pipe drains, concrete pipes of minimum grade – Class NP2 will be used. However, for road concrete pipes of Class NP3 will be used and for rail crossing, railway norms shall be followed. R.C.C. Manholes will be provided at maximum 50m intervals along the length, at connection points and every change of alignment, gradient or diameter of pipeline. The drains shall generally be of open type RCC rectangular construction. R.C.C. drains shall be covered with perforated R.C.C. pre-cast slab (M-25) of minimum 50mm thickness with provision of openable galvanized steel grating covers at every 4.0 m intervals. Similarly, all drains along the periphery of buildings shall also have perforated R.C.C. pre-cast slab (M-25) of minimum 50 mm thickness with provision of openable galvanized steel grating covers at every 4.0 m intervals. Design of such drain covers shall be done considering loading as specified elsewhere. In areas where vehicular loads would come, pre-cast RCC covers/box culverts of suitable thickness without perforations and designed for the vehicular loads shall be provided.

The drainage system shall be designed for precipitation intensity of 45 mm per hour (maximum hourly intensity of rainfall). Run-off coefficient for open ground area (unpaved) shall be minimum 0.80 and for paved area and other covered surface including roads the same shall be considered as 1.0.

Surface drains will normally have a slope of 1 IN 750 along longitudinal direction and RCC pipes to have such slopes such as to have effective discharge. RCC or masonry structures will be provided at drops/falls to prevent scouring. Drops/falls shall be provided on both sides of box/pipe culverts. Minimum self-cleansing velocity should be adopted as 0.7m/sec but

the velocity of flow should not be more than 2.4 m/sec for concrete drain, however, it is recommended to maintain the maximum velocity within 1.2 m/sec.

4.02.04                    Construction Facilities for early works

The Bidder shall develop and construct all necessary facilities like Batching plant, Chilling plant, Construction store, Fabrication yard and Raw material storage area and Canteen for site personnel at no extra cost to the Owner. The associated roads and drains connecting these facilities shall also be constructed by the Bidder. The Bidder shall visit the site and locate suitable areas for these facilities.

9.00.00            INTERFACE WITH STRUCTURES UNDER OTHER’S SCOPE

Modification in layout of foundation/structure during detail engineering stage may be necessary to avoid fouling with those under other’s scope. Necessary changes on this account will be made without any extra cost to Owner.

10.00.00          SEQUENCE OF WORK AND PROGRESS REPORT

The sequence in which the works are to be carried out shall be as approved by the Engineer in accordance with the construction method accepted by the Engineer and to be followed by the successful bidder.
