f. The sequence of demolition is normally determined by the design of the


building and is generally demolished in reverse order of its construction.
Demolition should wherever possible involve methods that make it
unnecessary for persons to work at height. Where a balling machine,
pulverising grab, pusher arm or shears are to be employed there is to be
sufficient space for them to be used safely. The sequence of demolition is to
allow debris to be cleared on a regular basis so that floors do not become
overloaded and horizontal pressures on the walls are avoided.
g. A method statement and permit to work is required for all work involving
demolitions.

area.
j. MEWP’s have a specific safe working load (SWL) and this must be marked
on the basket and not exceeded.
k. Materials may be placed inside the basket as long as the SWL is not
exceeded. As a rule of thumb, the use of an articulated MEWP for lifting and
installation long or heavy items is to be avoided due to the possibility of
bounce and the boom structure flexing, in these circumstances a scissor lift
is the right equipment to be used.
40.14.5 Man Baskets/Platforms
a. The raising and lowering of personnel by work equipment that is not
specifically designed for the purposes should only be undertaken in
exceptional circumstances, when it is not practical to gain access by less
hazardous means.
b. Although equipment such as fork-lift trucks, telescopic handlers and cranes
are primarily designed for the purpose of handling materials, when fitted with
a suitably designed man basket or working platform they can provide a safer
alternative to other means of access (such as a ladder). It should be
recognised, however, that such an arrangement will not provide the same
level of safety as purpose-built equipment such as a MEWP.
c. Before using a man basket/platform a specific risk assessment is to be carried
out, a method statement prepared and a lift plan developed.
d. All man baskets/platforms are to be inspected before use and formally
thereafter every 6 months by a third-party engineer. A current report of
thorough examination and test is to be available on site.
e. Man baskets/platforms are to have their safe working load (SWL) marked on
the basket access gates are to open inwards and be able to be secured at all
times when someone is inside the basket.
40.14.6 Forklift Man Basket

the basket access gates are to open inwards and be able to be secured at all

Volume III – Health and Safety Manual Page 190 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH -03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

times when someone is inside the basket.


e. Any man basket or platform is to be compatible with the lift truck on which it
is fitted to ensure its security and stability in use and it is to be effectively
secured to the truck's elevating carriage or fork to prevent it being displaced.
f. Personnel carried on a platform are to be prevented from reaching any
dangerous parts (e.g., the chains of truck) by effective screens or guards.
They are also to be protected against any overhead hazards that might exist
(e.g., coming into contact with rafters in the ceiling).
g. The operator is to scotch or lock out the tilt mechanism when the equipment
is to be used with a working platform and a suitable means of communication
between the operator and platform is to be provided.
40.14.7 Cranes
a. Cranes used to lift personnel are to be adequate and suitable for the task,
have a free-fall capability lock-out and should be used equipped with
appropriate devices such as a hoisting limiter, lowering limiter, rated capacity
indicator and rated capacity limiter. The carrier should be adequately attached
to the crane (e.g., by a shackle or a hook with a latch).
b. The crane and carrier should be inspected every day by a competent person.
The crane and associated equipment should be suitably de-rated and the
crane should be operated in accordance with the recommendations of the
manufacturer.
40.14.8 Fall Protection Systems
a. The use of personal fall protection systems is only to be used to prevent or
minimise the consequences of a fall when collective preventative measures
(i.e., scaffold, MEWP etc.) are not reasonably practicable. There are several
types of personal fall protection systems, however the main two likely to be
used across the project are fall restraint and fall arrest systems. Fall restraint
systems prevent a person from physically getting to a place where they could
fall whereas a fall arrest system only limits the height or consequences of a
fall. Therefore, the use of fall restraint is to be given a higher priority over fall
arrest when planning and implementing fall protection systems. Workers who
set and use fall protection systems are to be adequately trained and
competent and are to be closely supervised. A rescue plan showing how a
person(s) will be recovered in the event of a fall is to be included in method
statements.
b. Rescue operation is to be carried out and supervised by competent persons.
c. Enforcement action will be taken where rescue plans have not been provided
or found to be inadequate.
40.14.9 Safety Harnesses and Lanyards
a. Before the use of safety harnesses are authorised Project Partners are to
ensure that no other means of fall protection is available.

Volume III – Health and Safety Manual Page 191 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH -03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

b. Where a safety harness is to be worn it is to be a full body harness and fitted


with an energy absorbing lanyard unless the situation dictates otherwise.
c. The use of safety belts is prohibited.
d. Safety lanyards/harnesses must be worn and attached when working at a
height of over 2m and there is a risk of a fall.
e. Where the working height is under 6m or within a MEWP the shock absorber
must be disengaged or clipped back on itself.
f. A single energy absorbing lanyard is to be used when the area of work is
close to a suitable anchor point; these lanyards are permitted to be used as
a restraint lanyard.
g. Double lanyards are to be used when it is necessary to move around a
structure that does not have another method of fall protection fitted. The user
is to ensure that each lanyard is attached in turn ensuring the second lanyard
is attached before the first one is removed. Twin lanyards have two lanyards
attached to a single shared energy absorber to give added protection in the
event of a fall. They are used in similar situations as the double lanyard.
h. Whenever a safety harness is used, an anchorage point of suitable strength
is to be provided and be able to withstand the snatch to load of a fall.
i. Lanyards are to be kept as short as possible and not hooked around any
sharp edges such as those found on steel girders unless softeners have been
provided.
j. When using an energy absorbing lanyard, it is essential that sufficient
clearance is allowed for the deployment of the energy absorber.
k. As a rule of thumb to determine the safe distance use the following
calculation: User height + lanyard length + extension (energy absorber) +
safety margin = 2m + 2m + 1.75m + 1m = 6.75m
l. In order to ensure the potential fall distance is kept to minimum lanyards
should be connected to a fixed point above head height wherever possible.
m. Personnel are to be trained in the risks of using a safety harness, how to
correctly fit the harness and where the lanyard is to be attached to.
n. Safety harnesses and lanyards are to be inspected before use by the user
and every 3 months by a competent person.
o. Damaged safety harnesses and lanyards are to be removed from service and
destroyed.
40.14.10 Ladders
a. Wherever possible a work platform or other mean should be provided before
ladders are used. In general ladders should only be used:
i. In one position for a maximum of 30 minutes
ii. For light duty work

Volume III – Health and Safety Manual Page 192 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH -03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

iii. Where three points of contact can be maintained


iv. Where the work does not require the person to overreach
b. Ladders are to meet a recognised international standard such as BS EN 131
Ladders; the use of site-made ladders is prohibited. Where there is a risk of
electrocution the use of aluminium ladders is prohibited, only timber or glass
reinforced ladders are to be used.
c. Ladders are to be tied or footed at all times and extend 1m above any stepping
off point.
d. Ladders are to be inspected before use and have an identification plate
showing the asset number and date of last quarterly inspection.
40.14.11 Suspended Access Cradles
a. Suspended access cradles are to be installed and thoroughly examined and
tested every six months to ensure that they are suitable for their intended
purpose.
b. A certificate of thorough examination and test is to be on site before any cradle
is used.
c. Cradles are only to be used by suitably trained and certified competent
persons and are to display its safe working load; loads are to uniformly
distributed and not be overloaded. Before use checks are to be carried out by
the operator and a weekly inspection by a competent person is to be carried
out and recorded.
d. Operators are to wear and attach safety harnesses to an independently
anchored safety line. A rescue plan is to be developed and be in place for
rescuing the operator(s) if there is a fault whilst at high level.
e. Cradles are not to be operated where there are expected high winds or other
extremes of weather that would cause a safety hazard.
f. At the end of the shift the cradle is to be cleared of all tools and equipment,
the power switched off and isolated and the cradle secured to prevent access

18 Environmentally Friendly Construction Practices


18.1 General
Project Partners /Contractors/Sub-contractors shall implement the following (but not
limited to) friendly construction practices during the construction phase of the project
18.2 Containment of Air Pollutant
During Transport of Material
a. Precautions to be taken to minimise visible particulate matter from being
deposited upon public roadways as a direct result of the operations.
Precautions include removal of particulate matter from equipment before
movement to paved streets or prompt removal of material from paved streets
onto which such material has been dropped.
b. All construction equipment should be washed clean of visible dirt/mud before
exiting the construction sites. Any deposition of material on public streets by
construction equipment should be removed by manual sweeping, or by
deploying electro – mechanical devices.
c. Wash pit or a wheel washing and/or vehicle cleaning facility at the exits from
work sites such as construction depots and batching plants shall be installed
d. Vehicles with an open load carrying area used for moving potentially dust-
producing materials shall have properly fitting side and tailboards. Materials
having the potential to create dust shall not be loaded to a level higher than
the side and tail boards, and shall be carried in vehicles fitted with covers.
At Dumping Sites
a. The excavated materials to be placed in the designated dumping/disposal
areas.
b. Materials to be placed in such a manner that will minimise dust production.
Material shall be stabilised each day by watering or other accepted dust
suppression techniques.
c. The heights from which materials are dropped shall be the minimum practical
height to limit fugitive dust generation.
d. During dry weather, dust control methods such as water sprinkling must be
used daily especially on windy, dry day to prevent any dust from blowing.

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 274 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

During rains, the stockpile may be covered with tarpaulin or similar material
to prevent run off.
e. Water sprinkling to be provided at any time that it is required for dust control
use.
f. Dust control activities shall continue even during work stoppages.
At Construction Site
a. The Contractor shall under Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
obtain Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) from the
Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board for establishing the Batching Plant
and for construction of Viaduct along the project alignment.
b. Water to be sprayed at construction sites as required to suppress dust, during
handling of excavation soil or debris or during demolition.
c. Effective water sprays shall be used during the delivery and handling of all
raw sand and aggregate and other similar materials, when dust is likely to be
created and to dampen all stored materials during dry and windy weather.
d. Areas within the site such as construction Depots and Batching Plants, where
there is a regular movement of vehicles shall have an approved hard surface
that is kept clear of loose surface material.
e. Unless the Engineer has given consent otherwise, all motorized vehicles on
the Site to be restricted to a maximum speed of 15 kilometres per hour and
confine haulage and delivery vehicles to the designated roadways inside the
site.
f. At the Batching plant the following additional conditions shall be complied
with:
• Prevention of dust nuisance at all times as a result of the construction
activities.
• Concrete Batching plant and Crushing plant sites and ancillary areas to
be frequently watered to minimise any dust emission.
g. Hoardings to be arranged securely around all construction work sites during
the main construction activity, to contain dust within the site area and also to
reduce air turbulence caused by passing traffic. The hoarding shall be safely
secured to the ground to prevent from toppling with minimum gap between
the base of hoarding and ground surface.
During Drilling and Blasting
a. Water spray should be used to control dust during breaking of rock/concrete.
b. During blasting operations, appropriate precautions should be taken to
minimise dust such as the use of blast nets, canvas covers and watering.
c. Wire mesh made of heavy-duty tyres or sand bags should be used over blast
area on each shot to prevent flying rock and reduce dust.

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 275 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

d. Blasting technique should be consistent not only with nature and quantity of
rock to be blasted but also the location of blasting.
e. Due preference to be given to explosives with better environmental
characteristics.
f. Vibration shall be monitored during blasting and values shall not exceed the
standards.
18.3 Containment of water Pollution
a. Temporary open storage of excavated materials proposed to be used for
backfill on site should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during rainy
season or at any time of the year when rainstorms are likely. Washout of
construction or excavated materials should be diverted to drainage system
through appropriate sediment traps.
b. Polymer slurries or other grouts used in diaphragm wall construction piling
and other concrete works should be collected in a separate slurry collection
system. If reuse is not practicable then it should be disposed of at nearest
landfill site after obtaining permission from agency owning the landfill and
under the conditions imposed by the agency concerned.
c. Wastewater arising from site offices, canteens or toilet facilities constructed
at site are to be discharged or directed into sewers after obtaining prior
approval of agency controlling the system.
d. Oil separator/interceptors shall be provided at Batching Plant and
construction Depot location for vehicle maintenance to prevent the release of
oils and grease into the drainage system. These shall be cleaned on a regular
basis.
e. A Spill Prevention and Control Procedure shall be prepared to identify project
components such as storage areas, storage tanks that could allow discharge
of oil grease or hazardous materials to the drainage system or ultimately in
any water body during spillage.
f. Surface run-off from construction Depots and Batching Plants should be
discharged into storm drains via adequately designed sand/silt removal
facilities such as sand traps silt traps or sediment basins.
g. Construction works should be programmed to minimize soil excavation works
in rainy seasons (July to September). If excavation in soil could not be
avoided in these months or at any time of year when rains are likely, for the
purpose of preventing soil erosion, temporarily exposed slope surfaces
should be covered e.g. by tarpaulin, and temporary access roads should be
protected by crushed stone or gravel, as excavation proceeds. Arrangement
should always be in place to ensure that adequate surface protection
measures can be safely carried out well before the arrival of rains.
h. Measures should be taken to minimize the ingress of rainwater into trenches.
If excavation of trenches in wet seasons is necessary, they should be dug
and backfilled in short sections. Rainwater pumped out from trenches or

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 276 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

foundation excavation should be discharged into storm drains via silt removal
facilities.
i. Open stockpiles of construction materials (e.g. aggregates, sand and fill
material) on sites should be covered with tarpaulin or similar fabric during
rainstorms. Measures should be taken to prevent the washing away of
construction materials, soil, silt or debris into any drainage system.
j. Manholes should always be adequately covered and temporarily sealed so
as to prevent silt, construction materials or debris from getting into the
drainage system, and to prevent storm run-off from getting into sewers.
Discharge of surface run-off into sewers must always be prevented in order
not to unduly overload the sewerage system.
k. Groundwater pumped out of wells, etc. for the lowering of ground water level
in basement of foundation construction, and groundwater seepage pumped
out of tunnels under construction should be discharged into storm drains after
the removal of silt in silt removal facilities.
l. Wastewater from Concrete Batching & Precast Concrete Casting and that
generated from the washing down of mixer trucks and drum mixers and
similar equipment should wherever practicable be recycled. The discharge of
wastewater should be kept to a minimum.
m. The section of construction road between the wheel washing bay and the
public road should be paved to reduce vehicle tracking of soil and to prevent
site run-off from entering public road drains.
n. Surface run-off should be segregated from the concrete batching plant and
casting yard area as much as possible and diverted to the storm water
drainage system. Surface run-off contaminated by materials in a concrete
batching plant or casting yard should be adequately treated before disposal
into storm water drains.
18.4 Containment of Noise and Vibration
18.4.1 Noise
a. Construction of facilities and structures would require the use of equipment,
which may generate high noise levels and adversely affect noise sensitive
receivers.
b. In assessing the impact of construction noise and hence its containment, the
nature and level of activities that generate noise, the pathway through which
noise travels, the sensitivity of the receptor, and the period of exposure should
be considered.
c. Environmental noise is measured in decibels (dB). To better approximate the
range of sensitivity of the human ear to sounds of different frequencies, the
A-weighted decibel scale (dBA) was devised. As the human ear is less
sensitive to low frequency sounds, the A-scale de-emphasizes these
frequencies by incorporating frequency weighting of the sound signal. When
the A-scale is used, the decibel levels are represented by dBA.

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 277 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

d. On this scale, the range of human hearing extends from about 3 dB(A) to
about 140 dB(A). A 10-dB(A) increase is judged by most people as a doubling
of the sound level.
e. To the extent required to meet the noise limits reasonable efforts to be made
to include noise reduction measures listed below to minimize construction
noise emission levels. Noise reduction measures – include, but not limited to
the following:
I. Minimize the use of impact devices, such as jackhammers, and
pavement breakers.
II. Where possible, use concrete crushers or pavement saws for tasks
such as concrete deck removal and retaining wall demolition.
III. Equip noise producing equipment such as jackhammers and
pavement breakers with acoustically attenuating shields or shrouds
recommended by the manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise
limitations.
IV. Pneumatic impact tools and equipment used at the construction site
shall have intake and exhaust mufflers recommended by the
manufacturers thereof, to meet relevant noise limitations.
V. Provide mufflers or shield panelling for other equipment, including
internal combustion engines, recommended by manufacturers
thereof.
VI. Employ prefabricated structures instead of assembling on-site.
VII. Use construction equipment manufactured or modified to dampen
noise and vibration emissions, such as:
i. Use electric instead of diesel-powered equipment.
ii. Use hydraulic tools instead of pneumatic impact tools.
f. Maximize physical separation, as far as practicable, between noise
generators and noise receptors. Separation includes following measures:
i. Provide enclosures for stationary items of equipment and barriers
around particularly noisy areas on site.
ii. Locating stationary equipment so as to minimize noise and vibration
impact on community.
g. To the extent feasible, configure the construction site in a manner that keeps
noisier equipment and activities as far away as possible from noise sensitive
locations and nearby buildings. Plant and equipment known to emit noise
strongly in one direction should where possible, be oriented in a direction
away from noise sensitive receptor and reduce the number of plant and
equipment operating in critical areas close to noise sensitive receptors.
h. Scheduling truck loading, unloading, and hauling operations so as to minimize
noise impact near noise sensitive locations and surrounding communities.

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 278 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

i. Minimize noise intrusive impacts during most noise sensitive hours.


ii. Plan noisier operations during times of highest ambient noise levels.
iii. Keep noise levels relatively uniform; avoid excessive and impulse
noises.
i. Equipment and plant are not to be kept idling when not in use.
j. Use only well-maintained plant at site, which should be serviced regularly.
k. Maintain equipment such that parts of vehicles and loads are secure against
vibrations and rattling.
l. Grading of surfaced irregularities on construction sites to prevent the
generation of impact noise and ground vibrations by passing vehicles.
m. Schedule work to avoid simultaneous activities that both generate high noise
levels.
n. The construction of temporary physical noise barriers.
o. If back-up alarms are used on construction equipment, their noise emission
level near noise sensitive receptors such as residences, schools, hospitals
and similar areas where quiet is essential, should be regulated, especially at
night time.
p. Select truck routes for muck disposal so that noise from heavy-duty trucks will
have minimal impact on sensitive land uses (e.g., residential).
q. Conduct truck loading, unloading and hauling operations in a manner such
that noise and vibration are kept to a minimum.
r. Route construction equipment and vehicles carrying soil, concrete or other
materials over streets and routes that will cause least disturbance to residents
in vicinity of work.
s. Avoid operating truck on streets that pass by schools during school hours.
t. The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new generator sets (up
to 1000 KVA) run on diesel, shall be 75 dB(A) at one metre from the enclosure
surface.
u. For existing diesel generator sets, the noise from the DG set shall be
controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the
room for DG sets. Such acoustic enclosures/acoustically treated rooms, shall
be so designed for minimum 25 dB(A) insertion loss or for meeting the
ambient noise standards, whichever is on higher side.
18.4.2 Vibration
a. Vibration consists of rapidly fluctuating motions with an average motion of
zero. During vibration the oscillatory waves propagate from the source
through the ground to adjacent buildings.
b. Vibration from construction projects is caused by general equipment
operations, and is usually highest during pile driving, soil compacting, jack

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 279 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

hammering and construction related demolition activities.


c. Although the vibration is sometimes noticeable outdoors, it is almost
exclusively an indoor problem.
d. Vibration energy spreads out as it travels through the ground, losing its
strength the further it goes. High frequency vibrations dissipate much
quicker than low frequency vibrations, which can travel further.
e. Construction equipment usually operates in the mid- to upper- frequency,
which has less potential to damage structures. Earthquakes produce
vibrations at very low frequencies, resulting in a higher potential for structural
damage.
f. The primary concern is that the vibration can be intrusive and annoying to
building occupants.
g. Buildings founded on the soil in the vicinity of the construction site respond to
these vibrations, with varying results ranging from no perceptible effects at
the lowest levels, low rumbling sounds and feelable vibrations at moderate
levels and slight damage at the highest levels
h. Ground vibrations from construction activities very rarely reach the levels that
can damage structures, but can achieve the audible and feelable ranges in
buildings very close to the site.
i. There are several different ways to quantify vibration amplitude. One such is
the peak particle velocity (PPV) which is defined as the maximum
instantaneous positive or negative peak of the vibration signal
j. Although peak particle velocity is appropriate for evaluating the potential of
building damage, it is not suitable for evaluating human response. Because
the net average of a vibration signal is zero, the root mean square (rms)
amplitude is used to describe the "smoothed" vibration amplitude
k. The root mean square of a signal is the square root of the average of the
squared amplitude of the signal. The average is typically calculated over a
one-second period. The rms amplitude is always less than the PPV and is
always positive
l. The PPV and rms velocity are normally described in inches per second in the
USA and meters per second in the rest of the world
m. Although it is not universally accepted, decibel notation is in common use for
vibration. Decibel notation acts to compress the range of numbers required to
describe vibration
n. Vibration velocity level in decibels is defined as:
V
LV =20 log 10 ( )
Vref

where "Lv" is the velocity level in decibels, "v" is the rms velocity amplitude,

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 280 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

and "Vref" is the reference velocity amplitude.


o. A reference must always be specified whenever a quantity is expressed in
terms of decibels. The accepted reference quantities for vibration velocity are
1x10-6 inches/second in the USA and either 1x10-8 meters/second or 5x10·8
meters/second in the rest of the world.
p. The US Department of Transportation (DOT) has studied the effects of
construction vibration and these are Tabulated below in Table- 10:

r. Although the table gives one level for each piece of equipment, it should be
noted that there is a considerable variation in reported ground vibration levels
from construction activities. The data provide a reasonable estimate for a wide
range of soil conditions
s. Construction vibration should be assessed in cases where there is a
significant potential for impact from construction activities
t. Such activities include blasting, pile driving, demolition and drilling or
excavation in close proximity to sensitive structures
u. The vibration level limits at work sites adjacent to the alignment shall conform
to permit values of peak particle velocity as give in Table- 12.

w. The following steps may be taken by the contractor to reduce construction


vibration:
i. Design considerations and project layout:
• Route heavily loaded trucks away from residential streets, if
possible. Select streets with fewest homes, if no alternatives
are available.
• Operate earthmoving equipment on the construction lot as far
away from vibration-sensitive sites as possible.
ii. Sequence of operations:
• Phase demolition, earthmoving and ground-impacting
operations so as not to occur in the same time period. Unlike
noise, the total vibration level produced could be significantly

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 283 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

less when each vibration source operates separately.


• Avoid night-time activities. People are more aware of vibration
in their homes during the night-time hours
iii. Alternative construction methods:
• Avoid impact pile driving where possible in vibration-sensitive
areas. Drilled piles or the use of a sonic or vibratory pile driver
causes lower vibration levels where the geological conditions
permit their use.
• Select demolition methods not involving impact, where
possible. For example, sawing bridge decks into sections that
can be loaded onto trucks results in lower vibration levels than
impact demolition by pavement breakers, and milling
generates lower vibration levels than excavation using clam
shell or chisel drops.
• Avoid vibratory rollers and packers near sensitive areas
18.5 Containment of Waste
a. Careful design, planning and good site management can minimise waste of
materials. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the waste storage areas to
be ensured.
b. Construction activities are expected to generate a variety of waste such as:
i. General refuse
ii. Construction waste including waste from excavated material
iii. Chemical waste and
iv. Hazardous waste
c. Handling and disposal of such waste may cause environmental degradation
and nuisance. To prevent it, such waste has to be handled and disposed
properly. As such, transportation and disposal of all waste shall be strictly
managed.
18.5.1 General Refuse
a. Each worksite would generate general refuse including paper and food waste.
There is likely to be a concentration of such waste at batching plants on major
worksite. The storage of general refuse has the potential to give rise to
negative environmental impacts.
b. Handling and disposal of general refuse should cope with the peak
construction workforce during the construction period. Provided the refuse is
stored and transported in accordance with good practice and disposed at
licensed landfills, the negative environmental impacts would be minimal.
c. General refuse should be stored in enclosed bins or units separate from
construction and chemical wastes. An authorised waste collector should be

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 284 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

employed to remove general refuse from the site, on a daily basis to minimise
odour, pest and litter impacts.
d. Office waste can be reduced through recycling of paper if volumes are large
enough to warrant collection.
18.5.2 Construction Waste
a. Construction waste would mainly arise from the project construction activities
and from the demolition of existing structures where necessitated. It includes
unwanted materials generated during construction, rejected structures and
materials, materials that have been over-ordered and materials, which have
been used and discarded such as:
i. Material and equipment wrapping packaging material
ii. Unusable/surplus concrete/grouting mixes
iii. Damaged/contaminated/surplus construction materials; and
iv. Wood from formwork and false work.
b. Also, demolition of buildings and houses to accommodate station buildings
and construction depots will generate concrete rubble, plastics, metal, glass,
asphalt from surfaces, wood and refuse.
c. Waste from excavation would comprise soil, rubble, sand, rock, brick etc.,
majority of which may be used for filling purpose.
d. Prior approval to be obtained from concerned Local Authorities for identifying
suitable sites for disposal of Muck/Debris. Engineer may assist if necessary,
in coordinating with Local Authorities/ concerned Govt. Departments in
identifying the disposal locations.
e. The Muck / Debris to be disposed only at the identified, designated disposal
sites.
f. It has to be ensured that the disposal sites identified are away from residential
areas and do not require any kind of displacement.
g. The transfer and disposal of surplus soil may create air pollution. It needs to
be ensured that the routing to the site does not pass through busy traffic
areas, educational institutions, Hospitals, Office areas, Market areas etc.
h. The timing of muck is also an important factor and it is preferred that the muck
/debris are transported and disposed during the night hours.
i. Mechanized/Manual wheel washing facility shall be arranged at each site.
Wheel washing of all waste transporting vehicles shall be done before exiting
the site.
j. Proper arrangements to be made within site for temporary storage of muck
and for drying the same before loading onto the trucks for transporting to
disposal facility.
k. Areas for temporary shaded storage of debris shall be specified and arranged

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 285 of 398


Bhopal Metro Rail Project
Package BH-03
Volume III – Employers Requirements

within the site. Heaps of storage of debris shall be avoided at site and it should
not be visible from outside. Debris should not be stored for a longer duration,
it shall be disposed as early as possible, if not on daily basis by the contractor.
l. Certain measure such as maintaining cleanliness at disposal sites, controlling
the height from which soil is dropped, stockpiling of muck with suitable slope
in the designated locations, availability of water and personnel at all times at
dumping sites to minimise dust suppression, availability of necessary
equipment for filling of muck in dumping site in layers and for mechanically
compaction etc., are to be ensured.
m. In case of identifying or noticing any physical change in the muck during
excavation, it will be required to test the soil quality including heavy metals. If
the soil is contaminated, the portion of the contaminated muck is to be isolated
and brought to the notice of Engineer for necessary actions / instructions for
safe disposal.
n. Debris shall not be mixed with muck at any cost, separate storage area within
site shall be ensured.
o. Suitable inert Construction and Demolition (C & D) Waste (Debris) should be
recycled or reused wherever possible. Where waste generation is
unavoidable then the potential for recycling or reuse should be explored.
p. Only the authorised waste collectors to be allowed to collect the specific
category of waste and transport the wastes to the appropriate disposal points.
q. It has to ensured that appropriate measures are employed to minimise
windblown litter and dust during transportation of wastes by either covering
the trucks or transporting wastes in enclosed containers.
18.5.3 Chemical Waste
a. Chemical waste is likely to be generated by construction activities. For those
processes, which generate chemical waste, it may be possible to find
alternatives, which generate reduced quantities or even no chemical waste,
or less dangerous types of chemical waste.
b. Containers used for the storage of chemical waste should:
i. be suitable for the substances they are holding, resistant to corrosion,
maintained in good condition, and securely closed.
ii. be of adequate capacity and display a label in English and Hindi as to
the contents, quantity and safe method of disposal in accordance with
instructions contained in Material Safety Data Sheet MSDS.
c. The storage area for chemical waste should:
i. be clearly labelled and used solely for the storage of chemical waste;
ii. be enclosed on at least three sides;
iii. have an impermeable floor and bunding, of capacity to accommodate
110% of the volume of the largest container or 20% by volume of the

Volume III – Employers Requirements

chemical waste stored in that area, whichever is the greatest;


iv. have adequate ventilation;
v. be covered to prevent rainfall entering; and
vi. be arranged so that incompatible materials are adequately separated.
d. Disposal of chemical waste should be via a licensed waste collector; duly
authorized by MoEF or State Pollution Control Board as the case may be.
License of the waste collector shall be shown to the Engineer on demand.
e. An inventory of chemicals, solvents and adhesives to be maintained. Disposal
of excess material to be minimised, reuse when applicable and dispose of
chemical waste properly. A plan that identifies proper ventilation is to be
developed. Protective clothing and personal protective equipment shall be
used.
f. A nodal person to be designated who shall maintain the above information
and conduct periodic inspections.
18.5.4 Hazardous Waste
a. Classification of waste as Hazardous shall be in accordance with Hazards
Waste (Management & Handing) Rules 1989, and 2003 or its latest
amendment.
b. The hazardous waste generated as a result of construction activities to be
identified. If such waste is generated then necessary ‘authorisation’ according
to Form 1 of the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules 1989 &
2003 or its latest amendment to be obtained from the State Pollution Control
Board and dispose the same only to currently authorised recyclers (a list of
which can be obtained from State Pollution Control Board) under intimation to
the Engineer.
c. Hazardous waste would mainly arise from the maintenance of equipment.
These may include, but not be limited to, the following:
i. Used engine oils, hydraulic fluids and waste fuel;
ii. Spent mineral oils/cleaning fluids from mechanical machinery;
iii. Scrap batteries or spent acid/alkali; and
iv. Spent solvents/solutions, some of which may be derived, from
equipment cleaning activities.
d. For disposal of waste requiring special attention agreement has to be in place
with authorised agencies dealing with the same.
e. The environmentally hazardous waste shall be stored on an impermeable
surface with containment bunding to retain leaks, spills and ruptures.
f. Waste oil and chemical containers shall be delivered to the storage yard. The
responsibility of properly storing and handling waste oil/waste chemical
containers unit for such a time until they are transported to the chosen

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 287 of 398

Volume III – Employers Requirements

disposal area or waste oil containers lies with the contractor.


g. All waste collection containers shall be of appropriate size with a closed lid.
Each container will be clearly labelled both with a colour code system and
labelled in Hindi and English. Original labels of empty containers should be
completely covered over and the contents of the type of waste stored in the
used containers clearly indicated.
18.5.5 Storage and Segregation of Waste

work sites. The waste containers should be at least 50L/100L
b. The burning of refuse at construction sites is not permitted.
c. A contract with Municipal Corporation of Bhopal to be entered to collect waste
from Construction depots, Labour Colony etc. and dispose it at their landfill or
a designated area as per the existing norms.
d. It has to be ensured that construction and demolition material are properly
segregated into re-usable and non-reusable materials, and transfer of these
materials to low laying areas or landfills, depending on the type of material
and the percentage of inert material.
e. Segregation of Waste should be done on site. All construction waste including
debris should be sorted on site into inert and non-inert components as given
in Table 14 below. Different areas of the worksites should be designated for
such segregation and storage wherever site conditions permit.

f. On-site measures promoting proper segregation and disposal of construction
waste should be implemented e.g. provide separate containers for inert
(rubber, sand, stone etc.) and noninert (wood, organics etc.) wastes. The inert
waste should be used on site before disposed of at filling area and the non-
inert waste should be sorted for re-use or recycling before being transported
to landfills.
g. Non-inert materials such as wood, glass and plastic are acceptable for
disposal to a landfill as a last resort if these can no longer be reused or
recycled.
18.5.6 Reuse and Recycle

Volume III – Environment Manual Page 288 of 398

Volume III – Employers Requirements

a. Some good quality reusable topsoil is expected from site clearance works.
This can be locally stockpiled and used later in final landscaping works, thus
saving on costs for such works and transportation and environmental impacts
of disposal.
b. The design of formwork should maximise use of wooden panels so that high
reuse levels can be achieved. Alternatives such as steel formwork should be
considered to increase the potential for reuse.
c. Construction waste should be recycled as much as possible on-site. Proper
segregation of waste types on site will increase the feasibility of certain
components of the waste stream by recycling contractors.
d. Excavated materials are usually inert such as soil and rock, and can normally
be reused on site or in public filling areas. The excavated material may have
to be temporarily stockpiled on-site for subsequent re-use.
e. Steel and other metals should be recovered from the construction waste and
recycled as far as practical. If possible, scrap steel mills can use steel bars.

as required to maintain a clean and safe site.
d. Buildings under construction and nearing completion must ensure that all
combustible and flammable materials are removed at the end of each shift.
e. Nails are to be removed from timber as soon as possible, where this is not
practical, they are to be flattened and placed in a safe area (barrier and signs)
until nails can be removed at a later time.
f. Materials are to be stored so as they do not pose a risk to personnel stacking,
removing or walking by (further guidance is given in the materials storage and
handling section).
g. All spills are to be cleaned up immediately using absorbent material.
h. Cables/hoses/other trailing leads are to be protected, buried or secured above
head height to avoid a slip trip, fall hazard.
i. Waste is to be placed in designated containers and covered to protect against
high winds, pests or risk of fire. Waste containers are to be emptied on a
regular basis to prevent a build-up of material.
j. Loose or light materials that are stored on roofs or open spaces are to be
secured to prevent them from inclement weather.

Notes:
1. No exposure in excess of 115 dBA is to be permitted.
2. For any period of exposure falling in between any figure and the next higher
or lower figure as indicated in column (1), the permissible sound pressure
level is to be determined by extrapolation on a proportionate basis.
y. When the daily noise exposure is composed of two or more periods of noise
exposure of different levels, their combined effect should be considered,
rather than the individual effect of each. Exposure to different levels for
various periods of time shall be computed according to the formula as given
below.
Fe = (T1/L1) +(T2/T2) +…+(Tn/Ln) where,
Fe= the equivalent nose exposure factor.
T= the period of noise exposure at any essentially constant level.
L = the duration of the permissible noise exposure at the constant level (from
Table)
If the value of f exceeds unity (1) the exposure exceeds permissible levels.
z. A sample computation showing an application of the above formula is as
follows. An employee is exposed at these levels of these periods:
110 dB(A) 1/4 hour.
100 dB(A) 1/2 hour.
90 dB(A) 11/2 hours.
Then,

Fe = (1/4/1/2) + (1/2/2) +(1 1/2/8)


Fe = 0.500 +0.25 +0.188
Fe = 0.938
aa. Since the value of Fe does not exceed unity, the exposure is within
permissible limits.
bb. The vibration level limits at work sites adjacent to the alignment shall conform
to permit values of peak particle velocity as give in Table No. 22

respond to changes in demand. Metro Stations generally have peak patronage
levels twice a day, with less patronage at off-peak times. Systems should be
designed and operated to mimic the patronage curve or occupant load, producing
energy savings in comparison to designing them for peak loading only.
Strategies
i. Station Configuration: Respond to Demand: Vertical Circulation Elements
ii. Entrances: Showcase Sustainability: Entrances
iii. Lighting: Showcase Sustainability – Lighting
25.3.2 Maximize Energy Performance
Employ available technologies and design/operational strategies that will provide a
net reduction of 30% in the amount of energy consumed by an equivalent Metro
Station that only conforms to the minimum statutory and regulatory requirements.
Strategies
i. Station Configuration: Elevator and Escalator Resource Conservation
ii. Station Configuration: Respond to Demand: Vertical Circulation
Elements
iii. Communications: Communications Technology Review
iv. Lighting: Increase Natural Light
v. Lighting: Lighting Energy Consumption Level
vi. Signage: Technology Review
vii. Signage: Reduce Energy Consumption

25.3.3 Utilize Thermal Assets


Reduce energy consumption by utilizing the thermal mass to aid environmental
control. Elements, such as the concourses, platforms, tracks, major structural
elements, and the surrounding earth, can be used as thermal batteries for
anticipated cooling and heating loads. Thermal mass storage can be used to reduce
energy consumption consumed in environmental control, even when it is not
capable of carrying the whole load.
Strategies
