Observations (Kuan Kheda)

Site 1

1) Drainage Basins were flooded

2) Vegetation along both sides of the drainage basins
3) Sumps were flooded with water
4) At some points sumps are not connected to drains.
5) Column section of mms structure is not properly aligned with pile cap.
6) Honey combing observed in some of the pile foundations.
7) Overall development of grass 7 vegetations is observed on entire site.
8) Presence of water retention soil/Cohesive soil/ Black cotton soil.
9) Poor condition of pathways/Roadways.
10) Ponding of water.
11) Cracks were observed at the steps of inverter.
12) Poor finish to brick masonary at inverter site.
13) Honey combing observed at the base of slab of inverter.
14) Steel column of inverter support structure off centered
15) Absence of grading work to the ground
16) Poorly finished un plastered (internal) Chambers
17) Damaged plastering observed at wall supporting rails.
18) Poor maintenance of sump & drains.
19) Absence of walkway between MMS.
20) Leakage of water from neighbouring fields/properties.
21) Improper arrangement for pump at sump well.
22) Overall lack of maintenance of drains , sumps & fields.

Comments

a) The design of foundation of mms is safe & correct however at some special cases the
concrete failed in N.D.T. but there is no damage to the foundation of mms.
b) Drains are flooded due to saturations of sumps which are not emptied over a period crating
jamming & flooding. The bed slopes of the drains are properly designed. The sumps are not
connected to any nala or natural water bodytherefore sums must be emptied by pumping
the water which will make a way & space to water to flow in the drains.
c) The growth of grass & vegitations obstructs the flow of rain water to drain & also due to
absence of grading & levelling work to the ground.if the ground is properly graded 7
vegetations are trimmed regularlythen it will allow flow of water to drain & ponding of
water will not be form.

Any Deviation in design

1. few of Column were observed off cantered to the pile caps of the mms. However it will not
cause any danger to the mms structure
2. Honey combing of concrete pile of mms were observed at few locations
Honeycombing makes the concrete weak and loss of strength. Such piles failed in NDT .
cement grouting work is recommended at such location.
No other deviations in the design were observed else where
3. Issue identification in actual installation at site with level of criticality
 The entire site is not properly graded and levelled.
The site consists of cohesive soil resulting in water retention and ponding and momotey grass
and vegetational growth.
Recommendation for repain mitigation of problems.
All develwpment of vegetation and grass mwt be removed
Removal of top layer of soil at length 300mm to 450 mm depth may be removed and replaced
with hand musum soil and be compacted to graded level with proper

Iii) Negligent of maintenance of fringing of vegetation and Grams growth will aggrieved the problem
of waterlogging.

iv) Drain will not attract flow of rain water and will be foiloing In performance.

v) Isolatel sumpwells munt be connected to the respectine drain else the concerned drain will
remain flooded.

vi) Road areay will dwelup potholy and trench resulting in want stagnation etc.

vii) Absence of protection of water pumps will cover loss of etticiency of the pumps.

viii) If honecombing of concet and filling up of cracks not repainting will caver the related structure
weak
