(2) Under severe condition of sulphate content in subsoil
water, special literature on precautions to be taken with
regard to the use of special types of cement with low C3A
content may be referred to. Durability criteria like minimum
cement content and water cement ratio, etc. should also be
given due consideration.
Minimum cement content mentioned elsewhere from
durability considerations shall not be reduced. From strength
considerations, these cements shall be used with a certain
caution as high early strengths of cement in the 1 to 28 day
range can be achieved by finer grinding and higher
constituent ratio for C3S/C2S, where C3S is Tricalcium
Silicate and C2S is Dicalcium Silicate. In such cements, the
further growth of strength beyond say 4 weeks may be much
lower than that traditionally expected. Therefore, further
strength tests shall be carried out for 56 and 90 days to fine
tune the mix design from strength considerations as directed
by the Engineer.
Total chloride content in cement shall not exceed 0.05
percent by mass of cement. Total sulphur content calculated
as sulphuric anhydride (SO3) shall in no case exceed 2.5
percent and 3 percent when Tri-calcium aluminate percent
by mass is upto 5 or greater than 5 respectively.
Cement procured from non B.I.S. license firms will not be
allowed.
The Contractor has to purchase the cement on the name of
work and on the name of the contractor. The cement
without mentioning the above two names will not be
accepted.
Manufactures test certificate shall be submitted to the
Engineer by the Contractor for every consignment of
cement. The certificate should cover all the tests for
chemical requirements, physical requirements and chloride
content as per the provisions of IS:8112/ IS: 12269.

Clause 1505

Substitute the following Clause in place of the existing


clause:
Formed & Unformed Surface Finishes
The surface finishes for formed and unformed surfaces are
classified and defined as below. Surface irregularities
permitted for the various classes of finishes are termed
either 'abrupt' or 'gradual'. Fins or offsets caused by
displaced or misplaced form sheeting, lining or form
sections, by loose knots in form lumber or by otherwise
defective form lumber are considered abrupt irregularities.
All other cases are described as gradual irregularities.
Gradual irregularities will be measured with a template
consisting of a straight edge for plain surfaces or its
equivalent for curved surfaces. The length of template for
testing gradual irregularities on formed surfaces shall be 1.5
m in length, the permissible gradual irregularities being
measured over this length of the template.
Finish F1, F2 and F3 shall describe formed surfaces.
Finish U1, U2 and U3 shall describe unformed surfaces.
Class F1 Finish
The class F1 finish shall apply to all formed surfaces for
which class F2 or F3 is not specified. It shall generally be
formed by steel frame mounted with steel sheet. It shall be
so constructed that there shall be no loss of material from
the concrete during placement and compaction. After
hardening, the concrete shall be in the required positions
and shall have the shape and dimensions called for in the
drawings. Any abrupt irregularities shall not exceed 10mm.
All fins and drifts in excess of the above limits shall be made
good by chipping and grinding if required by the Engineer.
Small blemishes caused by entrapped air or water may be
expected but the surface shall be free from voids,
honeycombing or other large blemishes. Class F1 finish
shall be generally specified for all surfaces buried in ground
or not visible during service or for surfaces that are to
receive further rendering treatment such as plastering etc.

254

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

Class F2 Finish
Class F2 finish shall be obtained by use of properly
designed forms with steel sheet lining. The abrupt
irregularities shall not exceed 5mm and gradual irregularities
shall be less than 8mm. Small blemishes caused by
entrapped air or water may be permitted but the surface
shall be free from honeycombing, voids and large
blemishes. Surface irregularities in excess of those
stipulated shall be removed by chipping or rubbing with
abrasive stone. Class 2 finish shall apply to exposed
surface of pier and abutments, pier cap and abutment caps.
Class F3 Finish
Class F3 finish shall be formed by specially designed close
jointed rigid forms having lining. The surface irregularities
shall be limited to nil for abrupt irregularities and 3 mm for
gradual irregularities. Class F3 finish may be obtained from
class F2 finish by carefully removing all abrupt irregularities
including fins and projections by rubbing/grinding. If steel
forms are used they shall have steel sheet backing faced
with plywood.
In addition, finish F3 shall include filling air holes with mortar
and treatment of the entire surface with sack rubbed finish. It
shall also include clean up of loose and adhering debris. For
a sack rubbed finish, the surface shall be prepared within
two days after removal of the forms. The surface shall be
wetted and allowed to dry slightly before mortar is applied by
sack rubbing. The mortar used shall consist of one part
cement to one and one half parts by volume of fine (I.S.No.
16 mesh) sand. Only sufficient mixing water to give the
mortar a workable consistency shall be used. The mortar
shall then be rubbed over the surface with a fine burlap or
linen cloth so as to fill all the surface voids. The mortar in the
voids shall be allowed to stiffen and solidify after which the
whole surface shall be wiped clean with clean burlap such
that all air holes etc., are filled and the entire surface
presents a uniform appearance without air holes,
irregularities etc. Class F3 finish shall apply to all exposed
surfaces of superstructure.
Class U1 finish
This is the screeded finish used on surfaces over which
other finishes such as wearing coats etc., are to be placed.
It is also the first step in the formation of U2 and U3 finishes.
The finishing operation consists of levelling and screeding
the concrete to produce an even and uniform surface so that
the gradual irregularities are not greater than 5 mm. Surplus
concrete should be removed immediately after consolidation
by striking it off with a sawing motion of a straight edge or
template across a wooden or metal strip that has been set

255

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

as guide. Unless the drawings specify a horizontal surface


or show the slope required, the tops of narrow surfaces,
such as stair treads, walls, curbs and parapets shall be
sloped approximately 10 mm per 300 mm width. Surfaces to
be covered with concrete topping, terrazzo, and similar
surfaces shall be smooth screeded and levelled to produce
even surfaces, irregularities not exceeding 5mm.
Class U2 Finish
This is a floated finish used on all outdoor-unformed
surfaces not prominently exposed to view such as tops of
piers etc. The floating may be done by hand or power driven
equipment. It should not however be started until some
stiffening has taken place in the surface concrete and the
moisture film or 'shine' has disappeared. The floating should
work the concrete no more than is necessary to produce a
surface that is free from screed marks. All joints and edges
should be finished with edging tools. It shall include the
repair of gradual irregularities exceeding 5 mm. All abrupt
irregularities shall also be repaired unless a roughened
texture is specified.
Class U3 Finish
This is a travelled finish used on all surfaces exposed to
view at close quarters such as tops of parapets and kerbs
etc. Steel travelling should not be started until after the
moisture film and 'shine' have completely disappeared from
the floated surface and the concrete has hardened enough
to prevent an excess of fine material and water from being
worked to the surface. Excessive travelling, especially if
started too soon, tends to produce crazing and lack of
durability. Too long a delay will result in a surface too hard
for proper finishing. Steel travelling should be performed
with a firm pressure that will flatten and smooth the sandy
surface free of blemishes, ripples and travel marks. It shall
include the repair of all abrupt irregularities and the repair of
gradual irregularities exceeding 5 mm. It shall also include
finishing the joints and the edges of concrete with edging
tools.

A high-speed drill with mixing paddles; and
Promark batching containers for measuring out
components to be mixed.

Pour all the liquid polymers latex into mixing container.


Shake the latex to disperse the solid uniformly throughout the
liquid before use.
Begin mechanical mixing and while doing so, slowly add the dry
components, i.e. cement & sand.

Mix for about 5 minutes until solids have been well dispersed.
The resulting mix should look uniform, feel creamy and be free
from lumps & grits.
Precautions shall be taken not to entrap an excessive amount of
air into the mix during mixing.
Since the desired consistency depends on type & brand of
cement as well as weather conditions, start a trial mix with a
reduced amount of cement. Once all components are mixed,
add cement if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
Record the amounts of cement required and use this for
subsequent mixes. Do not reduce the quantity of cement noted
in the Mix Proportions.
In case the slurry sets before application of mortar, a fresh coat
of slurry shall be applied. Under no circumstances, water shall
be added in PMC repairs mortar mix. Unused mortar or mortar
which has partially set, shall not be re-mixed & used.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY

SAFETY

DURING

Any construction activity on the project will pose a hazardous


situation to the road users. For least disturbance to safe
passage of public traffic appropriate traffic management and
safety measures should be adopted throughout the
construction period. In this regard, the construction zone in
which conflict from safety angle may arise between the road
users on one hand and the construction activities on the other
shall be divided into 4 sub zones, and safety measures as
appropriate for each sub-zone shall be ensured. The subzones and the safety measures to be adopted therefore shall
be as described hereunder:
a. Advance Warning Zone
This warning sub-zone is meant to inform, alert and prepare
the approaching driver well in advance by providing information
regarding the distance and extent/type of hazard ahead so that
he is able to reduce the speed and be in readiness to carry out
the necessary manoeuvres as he meets with the changed
situation. For the operating speeds on the project road, length
of this sub-zone shall be 100mtr. And 500m, in plain and hilly
terrain respectively. Information in this sub-zone will be
conveyed through a series of traffic signs, which will include
Men at Work and the speed reduction signs at the start and
middle of this sub-zone.
b. Transition Sub-Zone
This sub-zone is the area in which the traffic is steered and
guided into and out of the diverted path around the work subzone. This is the most crucial subzone from safety angle as
vehicles have to be guided on to the diverted path, and most of
the movements will be of turning type. The elements for

348

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

designing this sub-zone are speed of the vehicles, extent of


lateral shift and elevation difference between the normal and
the diverted paths. The essential safety measures shall include
delineation of the travel path and prevention of wayward
movements of vehicles by means of barricades, channelizers,
red cones, red lamps during hours of darkness etc., as
appropriate.
In the design of this sub-zone adequate attention shall be paid
for providing necessary turning radius of the curves, grade to
permit for safe passage of animal driven vehicles, drainage
and dust-proofing. Where necessary traffic control shall be
effected through manual flagging and by battery operated
traffic lights during hours of darkness. Where vehicles have to
wait, the waiting area shall be demarcated by stop lines.
Length of the sub-zone will generally be between 50 and
100m.
c. Work Sub-Zone
This is the area where construction activity takes place, and
the main concern relates to safety of workers as also
prevention of public traffic from entering the work area. In this
sub-zone, path of traffic shall be clearly delineated to avoid
intrusion of public traffic moving on to the work area or
construction equipment moving on to the public traffic. It shall
be ensured that adequate distance is available between 2
consecutive work zones
(2 km. on urban section and 5-10
km. in rural sections) so that vehicles get sufficient breather
space for overtaking slow vehicles, lane adjustment etc. Traffic
across this sub-zone shall be guided through with the help of
various traffic control devices, such as signs, delineation of
travel path by cones/drums, barricades, luminous tapes etc. as
appropriate.
d. Termination Sub-zones
The sub-zone is intended to inform the road users of the end of
the construction zone. This shall be effected through suitable
informatory sign boards.
CLAUSE A-12.2

TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES


Traffic control devices in the construction zones perform the
crucial task of warning, informing and alerting drivers apart
from guiding the vehicle movements so that the drivers of the
vehicles as well as the workers on site are not faced with
situations posing surprise/hazard, and safe passage to traffic is
effected.
The primary traffic control devices used in work sub-zones are
signs, delineators, barricades, cones, pylons, pavement
marking, flashing lights etc. They shall be such that they are
easily understood without any confusion, are clearly visible
during day and night, conform to the prevailing speeds in

349

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

immediate vicinity, stable against sudden adverse weather


conditions and are easy in installation, renewal and
maintenance. Broad details of the different devices are
hereunder:
a) Signs
The construction signs fall into 3 major categories namely,
regulatory signs, warning signs and guide or informatory sign
as defined and detailed in IRC:67-1977, Code of Practice for
Road Signs. These signs shall be placed on the left hand side
of the travel path.
The common Regulatory signs used in the construction zones
are No Entry, Road Closed, Speed Limit etc. These shall
be used in consultation with the local police and / or authorities.
The warning signs to alert the drivers of the possible danger
ahead in the construction zones are Lane Closed, Diversion
to other carriageway, Divided carriageway Starts, Divided
carriageway Ends, Two way Traffic etc. It will be advisable to
explain the signs with the help of a rectangular definition plate
of size of appropriate to the size of warning triangle and placed
0.15m. below, from the bottom of the triangle.
Guide signs in construction zones shall have different
background colour than the normal informatory signs of
IRC:67-1977, These signs shall have black messages and
arrows on yellow (Traffic Yellow of IS: 5-1978) background.
The guide signs to be commonly used are Diversion, Road
Ahead Closed, Sharp Deviation of Route etc.
The commonly used temporary signs during construction are
depicted in the Drawings. These should preferably be of
reflectorised type to be visible during hours of darkness.
b) Delineators
Delineators are channelising devices such as cones, traffic
cylinders, tapes, drums etc. which are placed in or adjacent to
the roadway to guide the driver along a safe path and to control
the flow of traffic. These shall normally be retro-refelectorised
for night visibility. IRC:79-1981 (Recommended Practice for
Road Delineators) gives details of some of the delineators. The
other types of delineators commonly used are traffic cones,
drums and barricades.
c) Traffic Cones
Traffic cones shall normally be 0.5m to 0.75m high and 0.3m to
0.4m diameter or in square shape at the base. These shall be
made of plastic or rubber with retro reflectorised red and white
band and have suitable anchoring so that they are not easily
blown over or displaced. The cones shall be placed close
enough together (spacing 3-9m) to give an impression of the

350

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

continuity. Larger size cones shall be used for high speeds or


where more conspicuous guidance is required.
d) Empty Bitumen Drums
Empty bitumen drums can be used as channelising device
since they are highly visible, give the appearance of being
formidable objects, thereby commanding the respect of the
drivers. These drums can also be of plastic which are lighter,
easy to transport and store. As delineators, these drums shall
be painted in circumferential strips 0.10m to 0.15m wide,
alternatively in black and white colours.
e) Barricades
When ever the traffic has to be restricted from entering the
work areas such as excavations or material storage sites so
that harzardous locations are barred for public and protection
to workers is provided, or there is need for separating the two
way traffic, barricades shall be used. The barricades may be of
portable or fixed type and can be made of wooden planks,
metal or other suitable material. The horizontal component
facing the traffic shall be made of 0.30m wide wooden planks
joined together and painted in alternate yellow and white strips
of 0.15m width and sloping down at an angle of 45 in the
direction of traffic. Suitable support or ballasting shall be
provided so that they do not over turn or are not blown away in
strong winds. In case of fixed type barricades, a gate or
moveable section shall be separately provided to allow the
movement of the construction/supervision vehicles.
Sketches of typical portable and fixed barricades are provided
in drawings document.
f) Flagmen
In large construction sites, flagmen with flags and sign paddles
shall be effectively used to guide the safe movements. The
flags for andal ing shall be 0.60m x 0.60m size, made of
good red cloth and securely fastened to a staff of
approximately 1 meter in length. The sign paddles shall
conform to IRC:67-1977 and provided with a rigid handle. For
one-way operation at a time during hours of darkness, battery
operated red/green lights shall be used at either end of the
affected section.
g) Solar Blinkers
The following technical specifications shall be adopted. The
Number of blinkers shall be installed as per the approved
drawings and as directed by the Engineer.

SAFETY AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES


Measures for providing safe movement of traffic in some of
the most commonly occurring work-zones on highways shall
be as follows:
a) Detour on Temporary Diversion
In certain situations during the project construction period it
may become necessary to pass the traffic on temporary
diversion constructed parallel to highway.
A temporary diversion road shall basically satisfy the
following requirements
It shall have smooth horizontal and vertical profile for
easy negotiation by vehicles.
It shall not get overtopped by flood or drainage discharge
under any circumstances.
It shall have adequate capacity to
cater for the diverted traffic.
It shall be dust free and shall ensure clear visibility at all
times of the day and night.
Pavement and riding surface for the diversion will depend
on the duration over which the diversion will be used, and
shall be as directed by the Engineer. The commonly used
specifications are SDBC surfacing over 150-200mm thick
WMM constructed on completed sub-grade.
It shall be provided with the required safety standards and
the warning for the construction ahead shall be provided
by the sign Men at Work about 1 km. in advance of the
work zone. In addition a supplementary plate indicating
Diversion 1 km. Ahead and a sign Road closed Ahead
shall be placed. It shall be followed by Compulsory Turn
right / Left Sign. The Detour and Sharp Deviation sign
shall be used to guide the traffic on to the diversion.
Hazard markers shall be placed where the railings for the
cross drainage structures on the diversion start.
b) Partial Closure of Existing Two Lane Carriageway
Such an eventuality will arise only in a special situation where
the existing 2 lanes in use for the main traffic need
emergency repairs and the new lanes under construction are
not available for diversion of the traffic. It will become
necessary to carryout special repairs through partial closure
of the existing 2 lane facility. In such a situation care shall be
taken that the traffic is guided away from the closed lane into

354

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

the operating lane without conflicting with the traffic from


opposite direction. The warning sign for Men At Work shall
be the first sign to be seen by the drivers of the approaching
vehicles. This sign shall have supplementary plate also
showing the distance of work zone. The next warning sign
shall be for the Road Narrowing (depending upon the lane
closure). Compulsory Keep Right or Keep Left sign
depending upon the situation shall be provided at the
beginning of the transition zone and taper. The point where
traffic is to deviate from its normal path, the channel for the
traffic shall be clearly marked with the aid of painted drums of
traffic cones. The traffic lane or carriageway closed sign
shall also be provided at the barricades along with the Keep
Right / Left sign.
c) Switch over of traffic from widened to unwidened section
and vice-versa
In the course of construction, widening of the carriageway will
have to be taken up in stretches with intervening space
between two such stretches. This will bring about the
situations in which the traffic passing through the widened

CURING USING LIQUID MEMBRANE FORMING


COMPOUND
General
Liquid membrane forming compound are sometimes permitted
to be used by the engineer for curing concrete for part or whole
of the total curing period as specified in sections dealing with
concrete construction. These membranes reduce the loss of
water from concrete during early hardening period and some
type of compounds also help in reducing the temperature-rise
of concrete exposed to the radiation from the sun. These
specifications cover the type and use of such compounds.
However, the use of the same will need specific permission
from the engineer, who may require a number of tests to be
carried out for establishing the conformity of the product to
these specifications and to establish that the curing compound
and its method of use does not have any unacceptable effect
on the quality of concrete. The cost of the initial acceptance
testing and the quality control testing will be borne by the
owner, if the method has been specified as a requirement by
the engineer. If on the other hand, it is suggested by the
contractor as an alternative to wet-curing, the full cost of
testing will be borne by him and deemed to be included in his
rates for concreting. The cost of curing in any case will be
deemed to be part of the concrete rates and will not be paid
extra.
All equipment, material etc., needed for curing and protection
of concrete shall be at hand and ready for installing before
actual concreting beings. Detailed plans, methods and
procedures shall be firmly established, shall be settled and got
approved in writing from the Engineer-in-charge sufficiently in
advance of the actual concreting.
The equipment and method proposed to be utilised shall
provide for adequate control and avoid interruption or damage
to the work of other agencies.

Curing Compound
The curing compound shall be conforming to ASTM-C-309-81,
Type-2, white pigmented compound. The solids dissolved in
vehicle shall be either A (no restrictions) or Class B (resin as
defined in ASTM D-883) as approved by the engineer.
White pigmented compound (Type-2) shall consist of finely
divided white pigments and vehicle solids, ready mixed for
immediate use without alteration. The compound shall present
a uniform white appearance when applied uniformly to a fresh
concrete surface at a specified rate of application. It shall be of
such consistency that it can be readily applied by spraying to
provide uniform coating at temperatures above 4C. If two

364

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

coats are to be applied then it should be applied at an interval


of approximately one hour. They shall adhere to freshly placed
concrete that has stiffened or sufficient resist marking during
the application and to damp hardened concrete and shall form
a continuous film when applied at a rate of 5 m/litre. When
dry, the covering shall be continuous flexible and without
visible breaks or pin holes and shall remain as unbroken film at
least 28 days after application. It shall not react deleteriously
with the concrete.
The compound shall meet with the requirement of water
retention test as per ASTM designation C-156-80. The loss of
water in this test shall be restricted to not more than 0.55 kg/m
of exposed surface in 72 hours.
The white pigmented compound (Type 2) when rested as
specified in accordance with method E-79 of ASTM shall
exhibit a day light reflectance of not less than 60% of that of
magnesium oxide.
It shall fulfil the requirement of drying time when tested in
accordance with ASTM-C-309-81. The compound applied shall
be dry to touch in not more than 4 hours. After 12 hours it shall
not be tacky or tack off (peel off) concrete when walked upon
nor it shall impart a slippery surface.
The liquid compound should be of a sprayable consistency.
1.1.2

Supply and Testing


Acceptance Testing
Prior to the approval of the bran/trade name of compound and
the source of supply and manufacturer acceptance testing
shall be carried out to demonstrate the conformance of the
compound to Clause 5502. In addition, testing shall be
performed to demonstrate that on adverse/undesirable change
in quality of concrete or concrete surface takes place as a
result/by-product of the use of the compound. These tests
should be designed to check properties such as loss of
strength at 28 days of surface layer, or of concrete cube,
change in surface texture, change in adhesion to subsequently
applied layers like plaster, flooring, tiling etc. The type and
number of tests are to be as specified by the engineer.

1.1.3

Routine Testing
1. The liquid membrane forming curing compound should be
brought in the manufacturers original clear containers. Each
container shall be legibly marked with the name of the
manufacture, the trade name of the compound, the type of
compound and class of vehicle/solids, the nominal percentage
of volatile material and batch or lot number. The lot numbers
will be assigned to the quantity of compound mixed, sampled
and tested as single product. The manufacturer shall exercise
the care in filling the container so that all are equally
representative of the compound produced.
2. Curing compound to be used on site shall be got tested at
least 14 days in advance so that the result of water retention

365

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

tests, reflectance test, drying etc, are available before it can


bee permitted for use. All of the filled containers represented
by the approved sample shall then be sealed to prevent
leakage, substitution or dilution. The engineer-in-charge or
authorised representative should mark each container
represented by the samples with a suitable identification mark
for later identification and correlation and shall be kept in store
with double lock arrangements. One key shall be kept with the
Contractor and the other with Engineer. Random samples shall
be collected from every batch of the compound. Frequency of
random sampling shall be done as directed by the Engineer.
The contractor shall provide samples and labour for collecting
samples free of cost. Testing shall be carried out by agency
approved by the engineer and in presence of his
representative.
1.1.4

Method of Application
The compound shall be sprayed using mechanical sprayer of
approved design to ensure uniform and continuous membrane
on the concrete surface. The coverage shall be at the rate
specified by the manufacturer or at the rate of 4m per litre or
as specified by the manufacturer and approved by the
engineer. Field trials shall be conducted to decide effective
coverage rate, which depends upon surface finish. The
engineer after verification of the field trails and based on the
actual experience shall order the rate of application as needed
for achieving the proper curing. With a view to ensure thorough
and complete coverage, approximately one half of the
compound for a given area should be applied by moving the
spray gun back and forth in one direction and the remaining
half at right angles to this direction. In case the application is
still not found uniform, the contractor shall have to apply the
second coat as and when directed by the Engineer. If a second
coat is to be applied, it should be applied approximately after
an interval of one hour. The curing compound shall generally
be applied as soon as the bleeding water or shine disappears,
leaving dull appearance.

If surface treatment by roughing, hand brushing etc., is


required (e.g. as in case of road pavements) the curing
compound should be applied immediately after the same.

The Contractor shall be responsible for all damage caused by
blasting whether to permanent or temporary structures and
shall replace or repair the structures at his own cost.
PRECAUTIONS AFTER BLASTING
After the blast, the supervisor must carefully inspect the work
and satisfy himself that all the charges have exploded. After
the blast takes place in underground works, the workmen shall
not be allowed to go to the face till toxic gases have
disappeared from the face.
If it is suspected that part of the blast has failed to fire or is
delayed, sufficient time shall be allowed to elapse before
entering the danger zone. When fuse and blasting caps are
used, a safe time should be allowed and then the supervisor
alone shall leave the shelter to inspect the blasting zone.
None of the drillers are to work near the misfired hole until one
of the two following operations have been carried out by the
Supervisor:
Either (i) the Supervisor should very carefully (when the
tamping is of damp clay) extract the tamping with a wooden
scraper or jet of water or compressed air (using a pipe of soft
material) and withdraw the fuse with the primer and a fresh
detonator with fuse should be placed in these holes and fired
out, or (ii) the hole may be cleared of 30 cm of tamping and its
direction then be ascertained by placing a stick in the hole.
Another hole may then be drilled at least 60 centimeters away
and parallel to it and about 30 cm less in depth, this hole shall
them be charged and fired. The balance of the cartridges and
detonators found in the muck shall be removed.
Before leaving his work, the Supervisor of the concluding shift
shall inform the Supervisor of the relieving shift of any case of
misfires and should point out the position with a red cross
denoting the same and also stating what action, if any, he has
taken in the matter.
The Supervisor should also at once report at the office of the
Contractor and the Engineer all cases of misfire, the cause of
the same and what steps were taken in connection with these.
The names of the day and night shift Supervisors must be noted

Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited

ORR/JICA2/Pkg 2/Vol II

daily in the Contractors office.


If a misfire has been found to be due to a defective detonator of
dynamite the whole quantity or box from which the defective
article was taken, must be thoroughly inspected by the
Contractor.
Drilling in holes not completely exploded by blasting shall not be
permitted.
PERSONNEL
Excavation by blasting will be permitted only under the personal
supervision of competent and licensed blasters and trained
workmen.
