Provide details of the rectification works done for the

leakage between the penstock and the wall which
was noticed at the time of first inspection (material
used and procedure adopted supplemented with
photographs).

Details for frame leakage rectification:

1. Ensuring for surface preparation between the penstock and
wall by Grouting material.
2. Double check and re-apply of Sika between grouting surface
and penstock frame.
Please find attached technical details for the material has been used
for rectifying:
1. Data sheet for Grouting material.
2. Data sheet for Sika.

Leakage rate measured during the test and the

formula used to calculate allowable leakage rate.

Meanwhile subject testing, the readings of leakage were as

following:
1. 1st trial: .5 l/m.
2. 2nd trial: 0.225 l/m.
3. 3rd trial: 0.1 l/m.
Formula of allowable leakage for off-seating type and size of 00 mm
penstock as per AWWA 561-04:
R (l/m) = 1.24 * ( 2 * Perimeter) = 1.24 * 2 * 1.6 = 3.968 l/m

The heads (water columns) against which different

leakage rates recorded.
Clear photographs showing rectification of technical
snag points raised during inspection of installation
works.

All the leakage records were taken with filling of upstream manhole
with water column height is .6 m as per attached network layout.
a. Verticality of headstock to be checked and confirmed.
Confirmed.
b. Penstock extension spindle is not aligned properly in the
intermediate guide locations and appeared to be abnormally
bent.
