3.1.6 Inspection & tests during physical implementation
General
Inspection of the Contractors works during the construction period will be carried out. Tests shall be
carried out in the presence of the Engineer-in-Charge or his representative. All tools, instruments,
mechanical aids etc. as well as manpower, required for the test and inspection shall be supplied by the
Contractor at no extra cost. Records of tests shall be complied by the contractor and submitted to the
Engineer-in Charge.
PVC Pipe
PVC pipes can be got checked and tested by MTNL even though these might have been certified by any
testing agency earlier. The tests and inspection procedure has been detailed under 8.0.
SFRC Materials
The contractor shall supply Manufacturers Guarantee and inspection reports as per performance
requirements. The Engineer-in-Charge can get them checked tests at any stage even though these might
have been certified by any testing agency earlier.
It is stated that in case the duct systemdo not pass the final acceptance testing or checks as required at 32.0
the contractor shall bear all costs and reoffer works for preliminary inspection of the Engineer-in-Charge.
Mandrel Test
All the ducts shall be rodded and cleaned before testing. A test mandrel 300 mmlong and 92 mmdiameter
shall be pulled through each 110 mm dia pipes in duct formations. In case of 50 mm dia pipe, a mandrel of
200 mm long and 35 mm dia shall be used. In case of bends of radius less than 6 meters ball mendral of 95
mm and 35 mmdia shall be used for 110 mmand 50 mm dia pipes respectively. If any obstruction is
encountered, it shall be removed either by roding, cleaning or repairs etc as be required. Upon completion of
such corrective works, a new request for inspection shall be submitted by the contractor.
The Engineer-in-Charge after his satisfactory preliminary inspection shall offer the works for final
inspection of the Acceptance Testing Unit. The A/T Unit and Engineer-in-Charge shall jointly inspect the
completed spans consisting of two manholes and duct length in between, and satisfy themselves that the
work has been completed and passed all the checks and tests prescsribed in Acceptance Testing Schedules.
After completion of final inspection the acceptance testing unit shall issue the completion and testing reports
on prescribed proforma. The A/T Completion Report shall be issued only after all the points have been
attended to. The reports shall normally be released within 30 days from receipt of other from the Engineer-
in-Charge.
No work shall be treated as complete until acceptance, testing and quality control checks are completed and
found satisfactory.
All defects pointed out by A/T unit or Engineer-in-Charge shall be rectified and got retested before the work
is treated as completed. The responsibility of nonclearing the defects and thus non completion of work shall
always rests with the contractor.
All testing amenities and facilities shall be invariably provided by the contractor at his cost.
Corrective works, if any, shall be carried out as soon as possible. Upon completion of such corrective work
a new request for acceptance shall be submitted to Engineer-in-Charge.

3.1.7 Making Manholes/Pulling Chambers water tight:- Water tightness against the following leakage in the
existing Manhole/Pulling chambers shall be done.
i) Frompipes:- This leakage shall be attended to by providing expansion plugs in unused pipes; by
sealing the gap between the cable and PVC pipes. In case the existing seal is defective, it shall be replaced
by the new one as directed by E-in-C.
ii) Through RCC work or through joints of pipes and RCC work:- Grout of neat cement slurry mixed with
water proofing compound of approved consistency shall be pushed in the RCC under the required gravity
head. To achieve the same, nipples of the required sizes shall be inserted in the concrete works at the
required locations and spacing. The slurry shall be allow to flow in each flow till the refusal. In case this
method does not help in achieving the water tightness (the decision of E-in-C shall be final and binding), the
grouting shall be done under higher pressure achieved through suitable equipments etc. However the
