Dredging in front of the berth area will be executed by KPL by a separate

contract. It is expected that the soil below the coal berth deck to form a
natural slope towards the basin. However, if the soil collapse did not form
slope, the same has to be removed by grab method from the deck prior to
forming the deck slab
Please Confirm.
Usually the berth area is dredged to the final level before taking up the construction
of the berth. However, in this project these two operations are proposed by two
agencies, which may lead to following problems:
(a) In case of improper co-ordination between the two agencies the project is
expected to be delayed.
(b) In case dredging is delayed and wharf construction starts, dredging or
Grabbing operation after piles are driven may cause damage to piles.
(c) In case the soil collapse did not form slope, the earth removed by grab
method from the deck has to be paid for at special agreed rates.
Constricted Space:
Space of 13770mm between the existing conveyor system and the proposed
diaphragm wall (bottom level-40m) is not sufficient for the construction activities
and movement and operation of heavy equipment. Also there are chances of
damage to conveyor system foundations. This aspect requires reconsideration.
The Contract period is 24 months from the date of award of the work as
detailed elsewhere in the contract. The successful bidder is expected to
complete the works by the scheduled completion date specified in the
Contract
Construction Period:
Compared to other similar projects already constructed in other Ports (Ex: Coal
Berth at Paradip Port Constructed by M/s. Afcons in 36 months), contract period of
24 months is very less. It also involves a work out turns costing about 10 crores
every month. A minimum of 36 months will be required.
