6.1 GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION

Geo Technical investigation was done at the site to understand the physical properties of the
sub soil strata as well as to identify the level of ground water table. Representative soil samples
were collected from 10 Nos of Bore holes drilled at regular intervals at the site. The boreholes
were of 150 mm diameter and were terminated at a depth of 20 m below the ground level. Upon
analysis of the soil samples collected, it was observed that the topsoil consists of clay up to a
depth of about 0.4 to 1.3 m. From 1.3 to 3.2 m depth, residual soil was presented and finally
from 3.2 to 20 m, rock strata of highly weathered rock and completely weathered rock was
encountered. Ground water table was encountered at 3.0 to 4.1 m depth, from the top of the
borehole at the time of investigation.

In addition to the existing sump of 48 KL (4 x 3 x 4 m), storage sump of 350 KL (175 m2 x 2


m) and 375 KL (190 m2 x 2 m) will be constructed to collect rainwater runoff from the roof
and runoff from the partial pavement respectively. These sumps will be adequate to store the
entire runoff from the roof during peak rainfall.

The CPWD - Rainwater Harvesting & Conservation Manual advises that, 50% of total quantum
of rainfall from catchment area should be considered to decide the number and size of
percolation pits.

c. Design of Recharge Pit:


Total runoff of considered - 50 m3/day
Size of Recharge pits - 1.2 m Diameter
Depth of recharge pit - 3.0 m with free board of 0.3 m
Considering clear depth as 2.7 m,
Volume of Recharge Pits - 3.2 m3
No. of recharge pits required - 50/3.2
- 15.63
Recharge pits Provided - 16 No’s

A total of 16 Nos of circular shaped recharge pits are proposed to constructed in the premises.
By means of which the rain water falling over the roads, pavement area and the open area will

d. Recharge Trenches:
Rainwater trenches are proposed to be provided all along the site boundary. The depth of these
trenches is proposed to be around 1.50 m with a width of 0.6 m. It is planned to remove the
entire impervious layer to facilitate rain water recharge. Pebbles of different size will be
provided in an ascending order from top to bottom and a layer of sand will be provided on top
of the pebble layer. The rain water runoff from the open land, paved area and green belt area
will be used for recharging the ground water table through the above said trenches.

Apart from the above, three boreholes are available on the site which can be used for recharging
groundwater using the runoff collected through the trenches.

7. TRAFFIC ANALYSIS & PARKING FACILITIES

7.1 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

Traffic assessment of the road abutting the project site was carried out to estimate the peak
traffic load. The existing traffic load during the morning and evening peak hours were studied
and the vehicle counts were categorized under different heads. The different categories of
vehicular load were converted to PCU equivalents by applying the respective “M” factors. The
peak traffic load in terms of PCUs was arrived and the incremental traffic due to the project
was worked out. This projected traffic load (incremental) was compared with the standard
carrying capacity of the existing road. It was observed that the ratio between Volume and
Capacity (V/C ratio) was well within the limits. Hence it is clear that the impact of the traffic
due to the proposed project is insignificant.
The detail of the traffic assessment is presented below,

Treated STP water is being used for watering these green covers. Site photographs of Existing
Greenbelt development are enclosed as Annexure XVIII.

b. After Expansion:

It is planned to have a total of 7,376.41 sqm of area assigned as greenbelt in the facility
altogether. Of this 3,097.50 sqm area is already developed as green belt in the existing facility.
Now, the remaining 4,278.91 sqm area will be planted with varieties of native trees, herbs and
shrubs as a part of the proposed expansion. The water requirement for watering and developing
this green belt area is estimated to be 26 KLD which will be met through the STP treated water.
The significance of this green belt is that in addition to augmenting present vegetation, it will
also check soil erosion, make the ecosystem more diversified & functionally stable and make
the climate more conducive & restore balance.

while brought to operation. The required power will be sourced from the nearby TNEB grid
which will be distributed through the transformers within our premises.
a. Transformers
Existing : 1600 kVA x 2 Nos
Proposed : 2000 kVA x 1 No
b. DG Sets
Existing : 750 kVA DG set x 2 Nos
Proposed : 1010 kVA DG Set x 2 Nos

9.2 AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

The main source of air emissions from the hospital is the DG sets of capacity 750 kVA x 2 Nos
and 1010 kVA x 2 Nos. To mitigate the air emissions from these D.G sets, adequate stack
height is provided such the exhaust flue gases from the stack is released into the atmosphere at
a height at which efficient dispersion takes place. These DG sets are operated only during
TNEB power failure, hence the emission from them is only intermittent. Due to this the impact
from these emissions are insignificant. Photographs of the stack installed in 750 kVA DG Sets
is enclosed as Annexure XVIII.
Stack Height Design Calculation for 1010 kVA Generator Set (As per CPCB guide lines)
H = h + (0.2) (kVA) 0.5
= 9 + 0.2 (1010) 0.5
= 9 + 6.35
= 15.35
= 15.5 m
Where, H = Total height of stack in meters from ground level
h = height of the building in meters

The stack height required as per CPCB norms is 15.5 m. The same will be provided.

9.3 ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES

Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during the project planning and operation
stages. The list of energy saving measures that will be adopted are as follows
1. Central air conditioning system consisting of low power consuming water chilling
machines, with COP of 5.6. Minimum COP as per ASHRAE 90.1 is 5.4.

12. IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES

12.1 Impact Assessment:

This chapter presents the assessment of various impacts due to the proposed construction
project in the study area. Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either
primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project
and secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the
changed patterns of social and economic activities by the proposed project.

The proposed construction project would create impact on the environment in two distinct
phases
• During the construction phase (Temporary or short term)
• During operational phase (Long term)

The construction & operational phase of the proposed construction project comprises of various
activities each of which will have impact on some or other environmental parameters. Various
impacts during the construction/operational phase and their indicative environmental
parameters have been studied to estimate the impacts on environment. The identification and
details of impacts of project activity on each of the above environmental attributes are discussed
