1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers the general requirements for construction of film lining covered with
concrete lining.
IS: 2250 Code of practice for preparation and use of masonry mortars
IS: 2720 Part XIV Method of Test for Soils, Part-14, Determination of Density Index
(Relative Density) of Cohesion less Soils.
3.0 MATERIALS
3.1 Cement, sand and water shall be as described in EIL specification no. 6-68-0002.
Film specification shall be generally as per IS: 10889. The various requirements shall be as
follows:
The sub grade shall be well compacted, dressed and rolled true to the level to form a firm
compacted bed for the lining. The sub grade shall be compacted to 95% of modified Proctor
density as per IS: 2720 Part VIII. Also, one test shall be conducted per 500 Sq.m, for each
layer.
If at any point, material of prepared sub grade has been excavated beyond the required levels
for lining; the excess excavation shall be filled with material compatible with sub grade
material and thoroughly compacted. The sub grade shall be free from sharp objects such as
stone, weed roots etc. and shall be smooth without any depressions and humps etc.
75 mm layer of fine sand shall be spread over the prepared sub-grade and well compacted as
per IS: 2720, Part XIV.
The film shall be spread over the sand cushion layer. The film shall be laid loose so as to
provide for the thermal contraction etc. The adjacent layer of film should be jointed firmly so
as to avoid seepage losses through these joints. A minimum of 200 mm overlap and jointing by
heat sealing shall be done. The loose ends of the film shall be firmly anchored at junction
points as shown in drawings and as per the instructions of the Engineer-in-Charge. The joints
of the film are vulnerable to seepage and thus shall be kept to the minimum.
A layer of 10 mm thick cement mortar in 1:5 cement mortar (1 cement: 5 sand) shall be laid
over the film lining. The mortar shall conform to IS: 2250.
Concrete mix, method of mixing, placing, compaction, finishing and curing of cement concrete
lining shall be as described in EIL standard specification no. 6-68-0004.
9.0 ACCEPTANCE/TESTING
On completion of the work, the reservoir shall be filled with water upto maximum water level.
Level of water shall be recorded for a period of 3 days at an interval of 24 hr. The average
water loss shall not be more than 0.60 m 3/sec. per million square meter of wetted perimeter.
Any defect noted or pointed out by the Engineer-in-charge shall be rectified by contractor at
his own cost to the satisfaction of Engineer-in-charge.
Contraction/Construction joints shall be provided at 3.0 m c/c transversely along the length of
reservoir and at junction of bed concrete and berm side along the length of reservoir or at
places shown in the drawing or as directed by the Engineer-in-Charge.
Lining shall be cast in panels of size 3.0mx3.0m. Transverse and longitudinal grooves shall be
provided as per above paragraph. Before casting adjacent panel, the edges of earlier cast panel
shall be painted with sealing compound as shown in figure on page 7 of 7.
In situ sleepers in case of bed and precast in case of sides, shall be provided under the joints.
The sleeper shall be 20 cm wide and 7.5 cm deep. Refer fig. on page 7 of 7. The sleepers shall
be placed centrally below the joint and painted with two layers of sealing compound as shown
in figure on page 7 of 7, before laying concrete lining. Concrete used for sleepers shall be of
the same grade as for lining.
10.1.1 Filler
The grooves in concrete lining shall be filled with mastic filler as per IS: 5256 after applying
primer to exposed surface of groove as shown in figure on page 7 of 7.
The grooves shall be clean and free from foreign substances where mastic filler is applied.
Format No. 8-00-0001-F1 Rev. 0 Copyright EIL — All rights reserved
Grooves shall not be filled while it is raining or while there is free water in the grooves. The
grooves shall be filled as soon as the concrete has become sufficiently stiff to prevent
appreciable distortion of groove and damage to the concrete.
Expansion joint shall be provided and constructed at places shown in the drawing and as
directed by the Engineer-in-Charge. The joints wherever required shall be 20 mm wide.
The joints shall be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, organic matters, dust, etc. The joints then
shall be filled with bitumen mix filler as specified in the item except for 25 mm depth at top.
The top 25 mm depth of the joints shall be filled with approved hot applied sealing compound
conforming to IS: 5256.
11.0 PAYMENT
11.1 Sand Cushion, Film Laying, Cement Mortar and Cement Lining
Payment for Sand Cushion, film laying with concrete lining shall be made on sq.m basis of
area paved and shall include all the operations specified in clause no. 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0.
The payment shall be made on per running meter basis. This rate shall include making of the
joints, supplying and filling in the mastic filler etc. complete.
The payment shall be made on running meter basis. The rate shall include cleaning, filling the
joint with bitumen mix filler, sealing with approved compound, finishing the joint, clearing of
the adjoining surface after sealing of the joints etc. all complete.
11.4 The payment clause(s) as described in this specification shall not be referred/applicable for
