The area had been excavated as per drawings, but during excavation it was observed
that surrounding soil was very weak, so immediate precautionary measures taken to
prevent the edges stable to minimize the collapse hazard. Moreover, during
excavation up to 3 meter depth, it was found that the underlying stratum was very
loose and slushy. In view of existing condition and firm strata, further dug and refilled
with the dry material and compaction was carried out to avoid the hazards of collapsing
1.2 BASEMENT
After excavation, it was found that the floor level of Admin Block was about 3 meter
higher from its foundation and huge backfill is required, Mr. Chairman recommended
According to BOQ, total quantity of plaster work is 6995SM and according to the Rocky
bills, its 7646SM. According to BOQ, there is difference of plaster thickness in different
areas. Rocky put same plaster all over the structure and this had been done upon
Finishing items like marble, tiles, painting, doors, fixtures and plumbing are
(a) Originally the land area was water logged and filled up with borrowed
soil to make the place workable.
(b) During the piling works, borings were done in the soft soil with reverse
rotary and mud ponds were established.
(c) Due to large number of piles, most of the main plant building area and
surroundings used for mud ponds up to 2 to 2 meter depth. As the mud
pond contains large quantity of bentonite (clay), silty clay and moisture
which made soil very slushy, so the Project Manager took immediate
action to remove the slush and filled up with the dry soil to make the area
clear from hazards to the human & structures in respect of safety
aspects.
(a) All the Road network was dug up to 1-meter depth because of loose
stratum as per directions of PCL (Consultant).
(b) It was filled and compacted layer wise (150MM) as per AASHTO
standards up to original level of subgrade.
(c) Due to large number of piles, most of the main plant building area and
surroundings used for mud ponds up to 2 to 2 meter depth. As the mud
pond contains large quantity of bentonite (clay), silty clay and moisture
which made soil very slushy, so the Project Manager took immediate
action to remove the slush and filled up with the dry soil to eliminate the
chances of risk for human lives and property.
