14.1 SCOPE

The work covered by this Section of the Specification shall consist of all plant,
labour, equipment, appliances, materials etc. as necessary for the well drilling,
installation of materials, well completion, development, testing and miscellaneous
work required for the satisfactory completion of all work involved with the
construction of tubewells for water supply system.

14.2 DRILLING

14.2.1 General

The Contractor shall drill each bore hole for water supply wells at the location
established in the field by the Engineer. The Contractor shall prepare the site for the
construction of the tubewell and shall provide for the disposal of water, cuttings, and
refuse from his operations away from the tubewell.

14.2.2 Drilling Procedure

The bore hole shall be drilled by the revers circulation rotary method with a
minimum drill bit diameter of 22/ 18 inches as per project requirement mentioned in
Bill of Quantities. The contractor at his own risk and with the permission of the
engineer may adopt other method of drilling at locations where sub-surface
conditions are such that the reverse circulation rotary method is not feasible or
suitable in which case the contractor shall not be entitled to any extra claim. Each
bore hole shall be drilled to the depth specified by the Engineer. It is anticipated
that the depth of tubewells will vary; however, no minimum depth for any individual
tubewell or average depth for all tubewells is guaranteed. The bore holes shall be
drilled sufficiently straight and plumb so that the pump and tubewell casing may be
installed concentric with the hole and within the tolerance specified for plumbness
of the casing. Waste materials from the drilling operation shall be disposed off in a
manner approved by the Engineer.

The Contractor shall be responsible for protecting the tubewells from contamination
by foreign material until the completion of the tubewell. The Contractor shall bear
any expense that may result from damage to any tubewell, tools, or equipment that
may be caused by caving, washing, or other disturbances within the tubewell.

Where necessary to prevent sloughing and caving of surface material, the Contractor
shall furnish and install a conductor casing with a minimum diameter 2 inches
greater than the bit diameter not less than 6 inches above the ground surface upto a
sufficient depth to encounter firm material. The conductor casing shall be new or

14-1
 used pipe of adequate strength for the purpose. After the drilling is completed, the
conductor casing shall be removed by the Contractor and shall remain his property.

If unstable material is encountered during drilling, the Contractor shall stabilize the
material in a manner approved by the Engineer. The use of drilling fluid additives
or other suitable materials specially approved by the Engineer may be employed in
stabilizing the bore hole. All temporary casing shall be removed by the contractor in
5 to 10 feet stages as ground shrouding is placed. If in the opinion of the Engineer, it
is necessary to discontinue work on any bore hole because it is out of line more than
the amount specified or on account of jammed tools, caving ground, or because of
negligence on the part of the Contractor, the Contractor shall drill another bore hole
at an alternative location designated by the Engineer. The Contractor will not be
entitled to payment for any work done or materials furnished for bore holes
abandoned as a result of his operation or negligence.

14.2.3 Data and Records

The Contractor shall keep an accurate drilling log of each bore hole including a
description of all materials encountered and their location in the bore hole. The fact
that the Engineer or his representative may be present and keeping a separate record
shall not release the Contractor from this responsibility.

In the case of defective or incomplete records the Contractor shall complete the
records at his own expense. All records and data shall be kept by the Contractor on
forms approved by the Engineer. The Contractor shall deliver to the Engineer the
original of all records.

14.2.4 Sampling

Representative ditch samples or cuttings of the material penetrated shall be taken at

every 5' interval or at each change in lithology encountered which ever is less of the
bore hole. Special care shall be exercised to determine the thickness and location of
each change in material encountered and to obtain satisfactory samples.
Immediately upon taking each sample, the sample shall be placed in a plastic or
cloth bag, partitioned wooden box or other approved container, properly marked for
identification, and plainly labeled with the depth of the top and bottom of the section
of the bore hole represented. The containers shall be furnished by the Contractor.
The method of obtaining, processing, and storing the samples will be subject to
approval by the Engineer. The Contractor shall deliver all samples to the Engineer
at the site of the tubewells, except that when requested to do so by the Engineer, the
Contractor shall deliver specified samples to the Engineer's field headquarters.

14.4.4 Placing of Gravel

Gravel shall be placed at constant rate using tremie pipe, hoppers or other similar
devices to provide a continuous and uniform gravel flow so as to minimise
segregation of particle sizes. When tremie pipe or hoppers are used, gravel shall be
introduced in the annular space between the pump-housing and the edge of the hole
at two points located 180 apart. The tremie pipe, when used, shall be of suitable
size and lowered to the bottom of the well on two opposite sides of the bore hole and
calculated quantity of gravel shall be poured in the pipe through a funnel and the
pipe shall be raised by 6 ft. interval. In all cases water shall be circulated steadily
during gravel placement by inserting the drilling rod into pump housing and
operating the circulation pump on the drilling rig. The water level in the annular
space outside the pump housing shall be maintained at or above natural ground
surface level by return flow from the cutting bit.

Temporary casing, if used, shall be carefully withdrawn in 6 to 10 ft. interval during

placement of gravel shrouding and the gravel shall be introduced so that each stage
of the hole above bottom of the casing is completely filled before the casing is
withdrawn to the next stage. The process of withdrawing the temporary casing shall
be continued until the bottom of temporary casing is at least 10 ft. above the top of
the top most screen. Above this point the temporary casing shall be removed.

14.5 GROUTING OF PUMP HOUSING CASING

14.5.1 General

Grouting of pump housing casing shall cover providing all equipment, labour and

 The grouting operation shall be done with 1:2 cement sand mortar. Cement and
sand shall conform to the requirements of Section "CONCRETE".

14.5.3 Placement of Grouting

The grout may be placed by either the trimmie method or by being pumped into
place provided that both the method and the type of grout is approved by the
Engineer prior to the start of the operation.

If the trimmie method is selected and approved the grout material shall be placed by
trimmie pouring, (after water or other drilling fluid has been circulated in the
annular space sufficient to clear obstructions). The trimmie method shall be used
where there is a minimum annular space of 3 inches only between the upside surface
of the inside casing and the inside surface of either the external casing or the
borehole. The minimum size trimmie pipe utilized shall be 2 inches inside diameter.
Where concrete grout is used the minimum size trimmie pipe used shall be three
inches inside diameter. When making a trimmie pour, the trimmie pipe shall be
lowered to the bottom of the zone being grouted and raised slowly as the grout
material is introduced. The trimmie pipe shall be kept full continuously from start to
finish of the grouting procedure, with the discharge end of the trimmie pipe being
continuously submerged in the grout until the zone to be grouted is completely
filled. The minimum curing time before construction may be resumed is 72 hours. If
the method of grout placement selected and approved is to be by pumping, the grout
shall be injected (after water or other drilling fluid has been circulated in the annular
space sufficient to clear obstructions) in the annular space between the inner casing
and either the outer casing or the borehole. The annular space must be a minimum of
1½ inches for sand and cement of neat cement grout, and not less than three times
the size of the largest coarse aggregate used. The grout pipe shall extend from the
surface to the bottom of the zone to be grouted. The grout pipe shall have a
minimum inside diameter of one inch for sand cement of neat cement grout. It shall
have a minimum diameter of 1½ inches for concrete grout.

Grout shall be placed, from bottom to top, in one continuous operation. The grout
pipe may be slowly raised as the grout is placed but the discharge end of the grout
pipe must be submerged in the emplaced grout at all times until grouting is
completed. The grout pipe shall be maintained full, to the surface, at all times until
the completion of the grouting of the entire specified zone. In the event of
interruption in the grouting operation, the bottom of the pipe should be raised above
the grout level and should not be re-submerged until all air and water have been
displaced from the grout pipe and the pipe flushed clear water. Curing time before
construction may be resumed is minimum of 72 hours.

14.6 DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING

14-8
14.6.1 General

Development and testing shall consist of all work required in connection with the
development of each tubewell to produce the design capacity of sand-free water
with a minimum draw-down, and the testing of each tubewell to determine the
effectiveness of the development operations as specified herein. Development and
testing shall include, but not be limited to surging, backwashing and pumping the
tubewell at higher than rated capacity; testing the tubewell for specific capacity,
sand content and degree of development and disinfection and sealing each tubewell.
The Contractor shall be required to sound the well, to determine whether excess
sand has accumulated in the bottom of the well at the following stages of the work:

(i) On completion of the casing and screen installation

(ii) Before the starting of the development and

(iii) After completion of development and testing

If it is found at any stage mentioned above that the well contains more than 3
ft. of sand or other material in the bail plug, the Contractor shall clear the
well down to a level approximately 3 ft. above the bottom plate of the bail
plug.

Water obtained in development and testing shall be disposed of by the Contractor in

an approved manner. No separate payment will be made for the first 20 hours of
development and testing for each tubewell. Development and testing ordered by the
Engineer in excess of 20 hours per tubewell will be paid for at the quoted unit price
for this item.

14.6.2 Development

The development procedure and methods used for development of the tubewells
shall be established by the Contractor subject to approval by the Engineer and the
development operations shall be witnessed by the Engineer, from their initiation to
their completion. The Contractor shall maintain a complete record of the
development operation and shall make regular periodic measurements of discharge
rates, sand content and water level measurements. The procedures used shall
include back washing and pumping at 1.5 times the rated capacity and may include
surging or similar procedures determined by the Contractor. The Contractor shall
notify the Engineer following the completion of the 6 hours pumping period, that the
tubewell is ready for testing. In wells where bentonite or other formation stabilizing
agents are used, the Contractor shall undertake a programme of cleaning the well
with poly phosphates or other dispersing agents in a manner and with chemical
dosages as approved by the Engineer prior to starting normal development work.

14.6.3 Testing

14-9
 The contractor shall test each tubewell under the direction of the Engineer as
described herein. Upon completion of the development operations the tubewell shall
be permitted to recover for a minimum period of one hour. During this recovery
period, the tubewell shall be sounded. If the comparison of the depth by sounding
and the length of the casing string indicates that there is more than 6.00 feet of
material in the tubewell, it shall be cleaned to within 2.0 feet of the bottom of the
casing by bailing.

At the end of the first five minutes of pumping, the sand content of the water shall
be determined by using a 40 inches Imhoff cone or other device approved by the
Engineer. The sand content of the water at this time shall be less than 100 mg/1. A
second sand content determination shall be made 10 minutes after the start of
pumping. The sand content at this time shall be less than 30 mg/1. If the sand
content tolerances are exceeded at this time, or at any subsequent time upto the time
of final acceptance of the installation, sand content determinations, water level, and
discharge measurements during the remainder of the one hour sand test period shall
be made as directed by the Engineer.

When the sand test has been satisfactorily completed, the tubewell shall be further
developed for 4 hours by surging and backwashing with the test pump at five to ten
minute intervals. Following the development period, the tubewell shall again be
pumped for a period of one hour during which time the sand test shall be repeated.
The specific capacity of the tubewell shall be determined from the water level
measurements and flow rates obtained during the pumping periods. If the specific
capacity obtained from the second pump test is found to be more than 10 percent
greater than that obtained in the first pump test, the development shall be continued
as directed by the Engineer.

Upon satisfactory completion of the above one hour pumping period the tubewell
shall be permitted to recover for a period of one hour. Upon the completion of this
recovery period, a four hour multiple step pump test shall be performed by pumping
the tubewell for one hour at each of approximately four equal increments.

the leakage of lubricating oil into the tubewell at a minimum and shall promptly
remove all oil which collects on the water surface in the tubewell by the addition of
detergents or other suitable chemicals and pumping the emulsified oil from the
tubewell. In the event the Contractor fails to keep the leakage of oil into the
tubewell within acceptable limits or to promptly remove oil accumulations from the
tubewell, the Engineer will order the use of oil lubricated test pumps discontinued
and the Contractor shall use water lubricated pumps for testing of the tubewells.
The actual depth of setting for the test pump will be determined by the Engineer
after the tubewell has been developed. Piping, gauges, orifices, meters, wire boxes
or other measuring devices shall be furnished, installed and removed by the
Contractor and will remain his property. All measuring devices and testing
equipment shall be subject to approval by the Engineer.
