Measurements- (A) Measurements of earthwork will be taken by cross
sectional measurements. Only when such measurements are not
possible, pit measurements may be taken, but full measurements will be
checked by E.E.

Classification of Strata: (a) Soft or ordinary soil: - Generally any soil which yields to the ordinary
application of pick and shovel, or to spade, rake or other digging
implement, such as vegetable or organic soil, turf, gravel, sand, silt, loam,
clay, peat, etc.
(b) Hard soil: - Includes all materials which can be removed with shovel or
spade after loosening with pick axe, such as clay, soil mixed with lime
kankar, black cotton soil for earthen bund, soft moorum etc.
(c) Hard moorum and moorum mixed with boulders: - Generally any material
which requires the close application of picks, jumpers or scarifiers to
loosen, such as hard and compact moorum and soft shale. Moorum or
soil mixed with small boulders not exceeding 25% in quantity and each
less than 0.014 cum (300mm dia or 1/70 cum) but more than 0.004 cum in
size.
Boulders (dia more than 300 mm but not greater than 0.50 cum in
volume), hard laterite, hard copra and hard conglomerate or other
rock which may be quarried or split with crow bars, with casual
blasting, if required, for loosening of strata.
(ii)
Any rock which in dry state may be hard, requiring blasting, but
when wet becomes soft and manageable by means other than
blasting.
(f) Hard rock (requiring blasting): - Any rock or boulder (more than 0.5 cum in
volume) which requires use of mechanical plant or blasting for excavation
or splitting.
(g) Hard rock (Blasting prohibited):- Hard rock requiring blasting as described
under (f) but where blasting is prohibited for any reason and excavation
has to be carried out by chiselling, wedging or any other agreed method.

Dressing:- (a) Dressing is normally required at one place i.e. at the place
of excavation or at the place of filling, hence the rates provided in the
schedule include dressing only once, either at the place of cut or at the
place of fill. In case of canal excavation, where earth is reused at or near
the same place and for the same work, in such case only one dressing
which is already included in the basic rates is admissible, even though the
dressing is actually needed at both the places i.e. at the place of cut and
at the place of fill, while additional rate for trimming in cutting only will be
payable.
(b) In case, dressing is not done either in cut or in fill or both, full rate for
dressing will be reduced.
(c) No separate payment for dressing or trimming of spoil bank(s) and
borrow area(s) shall be made.
5.
Trimming:-
(a) This comprises of removing grass and grass roots, touching the uneven
surface to a uniform surface (either horizontal or slopping), by scrapping
off high patches and filling in low patches with the scraped soil. The
maximum depth of cutting or filling not exceeding 15 cm.
(b) This item of work shall however, not be payable for roadwork,
maintenance of approach roads, service roads, etc. as well as where
payment for dressing in earth work/excavation has already been made.
6.
Wet excavation: - Extra rate for excavation will be payable only for
excavation below sub-soil water level. Trial pits shall be dug in the area
where excavation is required to be done. The steady water level in the
trial pits which is left undisturbed for 48 hours before the pumping
operations are started, shall be considered as sub-soil water level in the
area.

Lead - (a) Extra lead for earthwork by head load beyond initial 50 m free
lead will be payable for every additional 25 m or part thereof up to a total
distance of 100 m. The extra lead charges for earth work by head load
beyond 50 m, will be payable as per item 2903 of chapter 29
(Transportation of materials)
(b) In canal excavation the earth excavated from surplus reaches should
be utilised in adjoining deficit reaches so that the land acquisition for
disposal of surplus earth and borrow areas in deficit reaches is reduced to
a minimum. Accordingly the surplus earth should be shifted to deficit
reaches up to a total distance of 200 m such that the surplus earth from
excavation of items 401 and 402 is utilised in the nearest reach first. For
this purpose on the basis of starting levels a shifting statement should be
prepared which will form the basis for shifting of earth and computation of
net payable quantity of earthwork and lead charges.
When there are no deficit reaches where the surplus earth can be shifted,
the surplus earth shall be disposed in a planned manner with due regard
to drainage arrangement.
(c) The lead for earthwork shall be measured from the centre of borrow
area(s) to the centre line of the dam/embankment and shall be measured
as crow flies, the crawly distance being measured from the geometrical
centre of borrow area(s) to the centre of the dam/embankment. While
calculating the lead for payment and additional 5% over the distance
calculated above shall be added to cover circuitous path.
(10) Bailing out water.- (a) Rates do not include for bailing out of water.
(b) For excavation done departmentally the bailing out of water, not requiring
pumping, shall be done as a separate item, as per actual expenses. The
decision of the Executive Engineer, as to whether or not pumping is
necessary for bailing out water in any particular case, shall be deemed as
final.
(11)
(13)
(14)
(b) The estimate for removal of silt should be sanctioned separately and
charged under maintenance head and not to the original work.
(c) The sanctioning authority should also endorse to the Chief Technical
Examiner, a copy of the forwarding memo, while communicating sanction
to the estimate to their subordinate formations, along with a copy of the
sanctioned estimate.
(d) For silt clearance work tenders must be invariably invited. In case, if
reasonable rates are not received even after second call, the work may be
taken up on piecework as per rules.
(e) When silt clearance is done all procedures required such as starting levels
,final levels and recording measurement in MB and prescribed checking
should be exercised.
(f) The payment for silt clearance in channels shall be made as per item No.
