The average top level proposed in corridor area- (+) 8.50 m

13.6 The site grading work inside PPI is to be carried out from westernside towards North Eastern side, enabling to drain excess water from the pond, through the Toe drains & cross Drains (in NorthEastern side of PPI)

13.7 Special care & precautionary measures may be taken during theexecution of site grading work considering the physical charactersof wet ash. If the access is slushy & unapproachable it is theresponsibility of the contractor to make safe and sturdy approachfor this area.

14.0 PLACEMENT

14.1 Ash excavated having required moisture content shall be placed inlayers not exceeding 300mm in compacted thickness. Thiscombined excavation and placing operations shall be such that thematerials when compacted in the fill will be blended sufficiently toproduce specified degree of compaction and stability.

14.2 No stones, cobbles or not fragments, having maximum dimensionsmore than 200mm shall be placed in the fill. Such stones andcobbles shall be removed either at the borrow pit or after beingtransported to the fill but before the ash in the fill is rolled andcompacted.

15.0 PROCEDUREThe excavated materials shall be placed in the fill in continuoushorizontal layers stretching right across the whole section, notmore than 300mm in compacted thickness and rolled as hereinspecified. The length of one layer shall not exceed 150 metre atone stretch. The layers shall be compacted in strips overlappingnot less than 600mm. If the rolled surface of any fill is found to betoo wet for proper compaction, it shall be raked up, allowed to dry,or shall be worked with in harrow or any other approved equipmentto reduce the moisture content to the required amount and then itshall be re-compacted before the next layer of ash is placed. Ash

surfaces are likely to become dry in short intervals especiallyduring hot and dry weather and hence enough moisture shall beadded between passes to ensure proper compaction.

16.0 COMPACTIONThe compaction of each layer shall be carried out so as to achievein-situ dry density not less than 95% of Standard Proctor’smaximum dry density of the material as per IS : 2720 (Part-VII).To achieve the 95% compaction level, use of vibratory rollers shall



SECTION - D67

be made. Required number of passes shall be made so as toachieve desired compaction. Number of passes required shall beverified through trial tests before actual of work.

17.0 MOISTURE CONTROLPrior to and during compacting operations, the materials in each

layer of ash / earth shall have a moisture content about 2% less for earth fill (for earth cover) and about 5% less for ash, than theoptimum moisture content. This shall however to adjusted,according to the weather conditions. So far as practicable thematerials shall be brought to the proper moisture content in the ashpond area before excavation. If additional moisture content isrequired, it shall be added at the fill site by sprinkling water beforerolling the layer. The contractor shall make his own arrangementsfor supply of water in ash pond areas (excavated area) as well as infill area. If the moisture content is greater than required, thematerial shall be spread and allowed to dry before starting rolling.The moisture content shall be uniform throughout the layer of

material and ploughing, horrowing, or other methods of mixing maybe required to obtain uniform distribution. If the moisture content ismore or less than the range of the required moisture content, or if itis not uniformly distributed throughout the layer, rolling shall bestopped, and shall be started again only when the above conditionsare satisfied.

If the area happens to be water logged, ground water table of siteshall be lowered by dewatering the same so that proper compaction of fill material at around optimum moisture content canbe ensured.

18.0 PREVENTION OF POLLUTIONIt shall be the responsibility of contractor that no air borne andwater borne pollution should occur during all stages of hisoperations such as in Ash pond excavated areas, duringtransportation of ash / wet ash during placement of fill materials,etc., shall be mandatory for the contractor to undertake allmeasures such as water sprinkling, covering moist ash / earth withtarpaulins in open trucks, etc. to take care of above.

19.0 STABILITY OF EXCAVATIONThe methods of excavation shall be in every case being subject to

the approval of the Engineer and the Contractor shall ensure thestability and safely of the excavations, adjacent structures, servicesand the works as per the provisions of the safety codes for excavation.

Whenever the Engineer directs, the sides of the excavation shall betimbered and shored by a proper method approved by the Engineer.



SECTION - D68

The contractor shall have full responsibility for the stability of theexcavation and safely of workmen. If any slip occurs, the contractor shall remove all the slipped material from the excavated pit withoutpayment. Also if any damage to the built up structure occursbecause of the slips, the contractor shall make good the samewithout any payment, at his own cost.

20.0 PROTECTION OF FILLINGThe contractor shall protected all fill and in the event of its beingwashed away by rainwater or damaged in any other way he shallrestore and make it good. Should any slips occur, the affectedmaterial shall be removed and made good with sound material.

21.0 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENTThe items of filling for site leveling work shall be measured and paidfor the volume of actual earthwork in filling measurement in cu.mcorrect to two decimal places. The volume shall be calculated basedon the spot levels of the area(s) filled in, taken jointly by the Engineer

and the Contractor before commencement of filling and after thefilling has been completed (i.e. after the area has been finished to therequired levels and slopes after compaction).

The ground level shall be taken at 5 m intervals in level or uniformlysloping grounds and at closer intervals where local mounds, pits or undulations are met with as directed by the Engineer. The groundlevels so taken shall be recorded in field books and plotted on a planwhich shall be signed by the contractor and the owner before earthwork is started. Men & materials required for taking levels shall besupplied by contractor at his own cost. Levels shall be taken after thecompletion of the work at suitable intervals and the quantity of excavation in cutting will be computed from this level.

22.0 FINISHING OF SURFACESThe surface of the filled up areas, slopes etc. after reaching final levelsshall be dressed to the request levels slopes. The difference in levelsand dimensions shall not be more than +/- 5 cm(locally) with respect tothose specified in Released for Construction drawings.
