CHAPTER 22 – DRILLING AND GROUTING

Notes:
1. Rates include all lead and lift for all materials.
2. The rates for drilling are inclusive of cost of taking out cores, logging,
labeling and preservation of cores, maintained in serial order and painting
depths on cores and on the core box, and protection of drill holes till final
measurements.
3. All items where use of water is required are inclusive of water charges and
Air charges and no separate payment is to be made for.
4. Rates for drilling are inclusive of taking out relatively undisturbed sample
(penetration samples) in soil.
5. Rates for drilling are exclusive of the cost of special washing and
conducting percolation tests.
6. When casing pipes are to be left permanently in the holes, rate for drilling
shall be inclusive of labour for fixing casing pipes, but exclusive of the cost
of casing pipes.
7. The rates for drilling are inclusive of all charge for fixing casing pipes, to the
extent necessary and taking out the same after final measurement.
8. Measurements – (a) The linear dimensions shall be measured correct to
the nearest 0.01 m. The area shall be worked out in sqm correct to two
places of decimal and cubical contents in cum correct to two places of
decimal.
(b) The measurement for all types of grouting shall be made on the basis of
cement in the grout actually forced into the holes.
(c) The method of recording the details of grouting operation and determining
the quantity of grout consumed may be adopted as under
(i) For measurement of the quantity of grout injected in each hole, a
grout history sheet on proforma given below shall be recorded giving
grout intake per minute, viscosity of grout mix in form of solids and
water ratio, pressure of injection, time of pumping in water for
lubrication, event of blowing of grout, to keep the grouting system
alive. In addition, various other points of importance observed during
the operation, of grouting are recorded for every 5-10 minutes
intervals and thus the grout history sheet when plotted as shown in
Fig. 1 shall depict the exact amount of grout injected.
Actually this graph from the grout history sheet should be plotted and
form the basis of measurement and payment on actual basis and
depict the factual amount of grout injected. The area under the curve
shall represent the quantity of grout actually injected. A register shall
be maintained of 100 such sheets. Each sheet shall be machine
numbered on both sides.
(ii) Recording of the surface leakage, if any, shall be made in the remark
column of the grout history sheet showing the location. The leakage
should be immediately stopped by reducing the pressure and caulking
 suitably. The grout should not be allowed to leak more than 5 percent
by visual judgment.
(iii) Measurement of cement, blown off and circulated in the grout lines,
shall be separately recorded in mass of cement actually used for
purposes of accounting the cement actually used for the enabling
works.
(iv) In case of stage grouting of the hole, cement grouted in each stage
shall be summed up.
