 Work Summary
Location Progress
 The common excavation is in progress in weathered rock by excavator and jack hammer at intake
shaft area.
 The D9 dozer working at site for excavation activities.
 A SD22 dozer also working at site for excavation activities.
 During excavation collected discontinuity data of two different location.
 Drilling activity for blast at elevation EL:490~496m.
 A blast carried out at elevation EL:490~496m.
Intake Area:  Excavation activity is in progress at elevation 486~498m.
 INT-BH-04:
 The geoengineers have lowered the casing up to the 38.0m depth, the zone between 32-42m is
weak with many sheared zones, the drillers were faced many difficulties to lower casing further
and progress became slow, Mr. Wo the PCCL Geotech in charge has instructed the geoengineers,
if you complete the casing up to 42m to night you can continue the drilling otherwise, you shift
your rig and we will start further drilling by our own rig. At 9 pm geology team reached the site to
observe the activity, the drillers has pulled out all casing as per Wo’s instruction by telling that we
cannot continue on hurry to avoid any further incident.

 PH-BH-02: The drilling with 76mm is continue against the instructions and GI plan, tomorrow
Powerhouse Area: we will issue SI on continuous negligence of PCCL.
 Geology team of T5C has observed the water levels at tailrace area and from recent boreholes of
powerhouse.

 The PST-BH-04: Logging is complete will be sent on Monday after review just for information,
because the hole was drilled without casing and testing, core recovery is undesirable therefore as
per discussion in meeting the NCR has been issued on 16/11/2021, but contractor has not
responded.
 At PST-BH-01 drilling not yet started.
Penstock Area  T5 outlet/ penstock slopes:
 Excavation activity is in progress at 1st slope.
 Mapping carried out at the exposed rocks below the 1st drainage.
 Inspection for rock demonstration carried out.
 Drilling for blast is in progress at EL:490m~500m.

Switchyard Area:  At switchyard area the remaining cuttings of trees/shrubs along nullah and topo survey is in
progress.
  Undersigned and Shahid has started geomorphological mapping at west side of SW area.

 Water level in the following boreholes has been observed by T5C geologists.
 Tailrace water level = 347.60m.
