6.
A. Surveying :

 Construct local/temporary benchmark, transverse pillars, grid pillars, grid lines and transfer
level from the existing approved reference pillars.
 Check the existing benchmark as well as Co-ordinates with respect to Permanent BM as
marked/fixed by Client before starting the Project work.
 Take ground spot levels (N.G.L) in a grid pattern of 10.0 m intervals and prepare the field
book of spot levels for Construction of Water Tank. For this purpose before taking levels,
vegetation & other debris shall be removed from the ground.

 Site Clearance :
Area for construction shall be cleared of all materials including bushes, trees,
vegetation, obstructions, and rubbish. Permission of CLIENT Engineer shall be obtaining
before uprooting/removing any tree.

 Excavation:

 Check the boundaries of all excavation area distinctively on the ground for safety purpose.
 Excavation shall be started from top and proceeded to downward.
 After Excavation, the surface shall be rolled by 8-10 T capacity power rollers or Soil
Compactor. The sub-base thus prepared shall be lightly sprinkled with water if necessary &
rolled again by 8-10 capacity of power roller.
 The Size & depth shall verify by checking levels after final compaction of the surface and
recorded in hard copy.
 If Excavation doesn’t reach the required depth, re-excavation shall be made. And if it is
more than required the same will be filled by lean concrete of proportion 1:5:10.
 After verifying depth & visual Compaction, Modified Proctor density tests MDD in gm/cc &
OMC in % carried out by contractors by taking Core-cutting samples at excavated surface to
know the % compaction. All records of the test results shall be maintained in hard copy with
consultants.
 Carting of the excavated earth shall be done only at nearby plot area as shown by Client and
same shall not be deposited with in 1.5M from the top edge of excavation.

 Back Filling with Approved Soil:

 Yellow Soil Borrow area samples to be approved first so as to meet the characteristic of
yellow soil.
 Hydro-test shall be checked before filling.
 Filling work can be start with the permission of Engineer in charge only

 Filling work shall be laid in layers with proper compaction by soil compacter.
 The moisture shall be checked by Moisture Meter at site before filling and the work shall
proceed if it comes in permissible limit.
 For compaction, Modified Proctor density tests MDD in gm/cc & OMC in % carried out by
contractors by taking Core-cutting samples or Sand Replacement method for each layer to
know the % compaction.
 Minimum 95% compaction required for yellow soil. All records of the test results shall me
maintained in hard copy with consultants.
 The same procedure shall be follow for each layer to get 95% of compaction.
 The Each layer thus prepared shall be lightly sprinkled with water, if necessary, & compacted
with soil compacter.

 P.C.C Work for Tank Bottom area:

 Bottom surface layer levels shall be verified before execution.

 Thickness & Grade shall be as per drawing & specification.
 Shutting work shall be in proper lined & leveled.
 Dimensions shall be checked as per drawing.
 For Volumetric proportion measuring box shall be used for nominal mix.
 Ensure the quality parameters like proportion of Coarse Aggregates, Fine Aggregates,
Cement, water & admixture (if mentioned) as per grade mentioned in Drawing & Detail
Specification.
 Compaction shall be done properly with compacters/rimmer.
 Thickness shall be verified by taking top of P.C.C levels at an interval of 5m or 10 m.
 Curing shall be done properly.

Reinforcement:

 Reinforcement bars should confirm to ‘TOS’.

 Field test shall be checked such as elongation, Hardness, bend test etc as per directed.
 Reinforcement shall not be brittle & equally not too hard.
 It should be free from corrosion, oil, dirt, grease, loose rusting etc which may destroy or
reduce the bond.
 BBS shall be approved as per IS 2502:1963 to proceed the work.
 BBS shall be as such prepared that it reduce % of wastage.
 Reinforcement shall be binded with double wire of Gauge as per TOS.
 Reinforcement shall be placed on the marked orientation of the structure.
 All laps shall be staggered & lap length shall be as per directed.
 For columns/walls verticality of steel should be checked & spacer bars/chairs shall be
provided to avoid sacking between two layers of steel.
