and can also be excavated by rippers, dozers and other mechanical
equipment but without the aid of blasting.

4.0 EXCAVATION

4.1 This specification covers in general the scope of excavation for this
tender only which is to be carried out as per drawings and as directed
by EIC.

4.2 The excavation mainly has to be carried out in soft soil / top soil i.e. to
the required line level and as directed by EIC

4.3 The site will be handed over to contractor with Vegetation/ bushes/
shrubs/ trees etc. Contractor shall visit the site to ascertain the nature
of ground prior to bidding to accept all the responsibilities. The removal
of the above is included in the scope of excavation and no additional
payment will be made on this account.

4.4 HPCL shall hand over the Bench Marks at site only . The proceeding

quantity of earthwork shall not be paid for .The excavation taken
below the specified level shall be made good by filling with approved
material to the required compaction at contractors cost.

The final bed and sides of excavation must be levelled, dressed and
compacted. In case of areas under excavation for Site Grading, the
final surface shall be levelled, dressed and consolidated by means of

the Contractor as the token of his acceptance .Approved fill material
shall be spread in uniform layers not exceeding 30 cms in loose depth.
The contractor has to make his own approach and access roads from
the borrow area to the demarcated filling areas. While the contractor
may make use of such short cuts as may be available to him for earth
movement from borrow areas to the filling areas, the Owner does not
guarantee any pass way or the right of way for the Contractor work
other than available at site. No claim shall also be admissible to the

PROCEDURE FOR SAND COMPACTION /CALCULATIONS

PROCEDURE FOR FIELD COMPACTION OF SAND LAYER.
Equipment type: vibrating base plate contactor/ vibro roller
Application: for coarse grained sand/soil

Procedure: loose filling of sand layer is spread on the filling area of max.
300 mm thick. Moisture content of the sand is maintained below 5%.the
compaction should be carried out with single pads or plates of min. 90 kg
may be used tender where working plate available. Vibratory frequency
shall be greater than 1600 cycles per minute. Minimum no. of passes or
coverages shall be 3. Relative density of the sand layer is measured in
field /lot and no. of passes or coverages are executed to obtain 85%
relative density. The next layer is filled on compacted layer and above
procedure is repeated until it reaches the desired level.

1. Procedure for the determination of minimum density
The pouring device and mould should be selected according to the
maximum size of particle as indicated in Table 1 of IS:2720 Part XIV.The
mould should be weighed and the mass recorded .Ovendry soils should
be used. Soil containing particles smaller than 4.75mm should be placed
as loosely as possible in the mould by pouring the soil through the spout
in a steady stream.The spout should be adjusted so that the height of
free fall of the soil is always 25mm.While pouring the soil the pouring
device should be moved in a spiral motion from the outside towards
centre to form soil layer of uniform without segregation.The mould should
be filled approximately 25mm above the top and leveled by making one
continous pass with the steel straight edge .If all excess matter is not
removed,an additional continous pass should be made.Great care shall
be exercised to avoid jarring the mould during the entire pouring and
trimming operation.The mould and the soil should be weighed and the
mass recorded.
Soil containing particles larger than 4.75mm should be placed by means
of a large scoop(or shovel) held as close as possible to and just above
the soil surface to cause the material to slide rather than fall into the
previously placed soil.If necessary ,large particles may be held by hand
to prevent them from rolling off the scoop.The mould should be filled to
overflowing but not more than 25mm above the top .The surface of the
soil should be leveled with the top of the mould using the steel
straightedge(and the fingers ,if necessary) in such a way that any slight
projection of the larger particles above the top of mould shall
9 of 21

approximately balance the larger voids in the surface below the top of the
mould.The mould and the soil should be weighed and the mass recorded.

2. PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM DENSITY.
The maximum density may be determined by dry method.

The guide sleeve should be assembled on top of the mould and clamp
assemblies tightened so that the inner surfaces of the walls of the mould
and the sleeve are in the line. The lock nuts on the two set screws
equipped with them should be tightened. The third clamp should be
loosened, the guide sleeve removed, the empty mould weighed and its
mass recorded.
The mould should be then filled the thoroughly mixed oven dry sand by
the procedure explained as above. The mould filled for the determination
of minimum density can also be used for this test. The guide sleeves
should attached to the mould and surcharge base plate should placed on
the soil surface. The surcharge weight then should be lowered on the
base plate using the hoist in the case of the 15000 cm3 mould. The
mould should be fixed to the vibrator deck assembly. The vibrator control
should be set at max. Amplitude and the loaded specimen should be
vibrated for 8 minutes.

Calculations:

Minimum density-
the minimum density, Y min, in g/cm3 should be calculated as follows:
Y min = W gm/Vc
Where,
Wgm = mass of dry soil in the minimum density test in gram ; and
Vc = caliberated volume in the mould in cm3.
Maximum density-
The maximum density calculated as follows:
Y max = Ws/Vs
Where:
Ws= mass of dry soil in the maximum density test in grams.
Vs=volume of soil in maximum density test in cm3 = Vc-(Di-Df)A;
Di = initial dial guage reading in cm
Df= final dial guage reading on the surcharge plate.
Density index (relative density):
The density index expressed as a percentage should be calculated as
follows: Id (or Dr) = Y max (Y d - Y min)/ Y d ( Y max- Y min)
In terms of void ratio Id= ( [ emax-e]/[emax-emin])*100
emax=void ratio of the soil in loosest state
e=void ratio of the soil in the field
emin=void ration of the soil in the densest state

Payment

Payment for filling shall be made on cubic metre of volume calculated
on the basis of cross-section plotted from the levels of ground, where
filling is to be carried out and the levels reached after filling is duly
consolidated, volume being calculated by trapezoidal method.

Partial bill will be processed only after submission of duly certified
copy of proof of payment towards royalty.

Final bill will be processed only after submission of No objection
certificate from relevant statutory authorities towards payment of
royalty.

No extra payment shall be made towards testing charges.

9.0 MISCELLANEOUS & ENABLING WORKS

vegetation.

The field testing shall be done for every layer per 500sqm.
e. The borrow area sand/murrum brought from outside should also be
commenced simultaneously (only after it is ensured that the excavated
earth within premises shall be utilized in filling fully). Whenever there is a
change in source of sand/ murrum, fresh laboratory test shall be carried
out and submitted.
f. Proper watering should be ensured during filling and compaction
operation so that moisture content is near OMC.
g. Party should ensure that all royalty and other cess are paid before earth
is brought to site for filling operation.

level and the branches to be chopped to small sizes and stacked at
designated place within premises.
i. Coordination with other contractors, creating front for others for execution
of job.
