ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA AND PERMISSIBLE LIMITS FOR CONCRETE WORK
1) Concrete a) Workability Slump shall be recorded by slump cone method and it shall between 25-75 mm

Notes:
1) ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA BASED ON 28 DAYS COMPRESSIVE STRENGTHS FOR NOMINAL MIX CONCRETE: As per clause 5.4.10.4 of CPWD Specifications,
Volume 1
(a) The average of the strength of three specimen be accepted as the compressive strength of the concrete provided the strength of any individual cube
shall neither be less than 70% nor higher than 130% of the specitied strength.
(b) If the strength of any individual cube exceeds more than 30% of specified strength, it will be restricted to 130% only for computation of strength.
(c) If the actual average strength of accepted sample is equal to or higher than specified strength up to 30% then strength of the concrete shall be
considered in order and the concrete shall be accepted at full rates.
(d) If the actual average strength of accepted sample is less than specified strength but not less than 70% of the specified strength, the concrete may be
accepted at reduced rate after reconfirmation by NOT /Core test on the location portion represented by the cube samples.
(e) If the actual average strength of accepted sample is less than 70% of specified strength, the Engineer-in-Charge shall reject the defective portion of
work represented by sample and nothing shall be paid for the rejected work. Remedial measures necessary to retain the structure shall be taken at
the risk and cost of contractor. If , however the Engineer-in-Charge so desires, he may order additional tests to be carried out to ascertain if the
structure can be retained. All the charges in connection with these additional tests shall be borne by the contractor.

General Notes:
1) This standard Field Quality Plan is not to limit the supervisory checks which are otherwise required to be carried out during execution of work as per
drawings/Technical specifications etc.
2) All materials under supply contract should have Cat-A CIP before they are erected.
3) Contractor shall be responsible for implementing/documenting the SFQP. Documents shall be handed over by the contractor to CLIENT after the
completion of the work.
4) Project incharge means over all incharge of work. Site in-charge means in-charge of the line. Site engineer means in -charge of the section.
Site Engineer's responsibility may be allocated to Site JE, with the approval of Regional Head, only in such cases where, Site Engineer is not in
position.
5) In case of deviation the approving authority will be one step above the officer designated for acceptance in this quality plan subject to minimum level
of Line incharge.
6) Acceptance criteria and permissible limits for tests are indicated in the Annexures. However for further details/tests CLIENT specification and latest
relevant Indian standards shall be referred.
7) Tests as mentioned in this FQP shall generally be followed. However E.I.C. reserves the right to order additional tests wherever required
necessary at the cost of the agency.
8) All counter checks/tests by CLIENT shall be carried out by CLIENT's officials' at least at the level of Site Engineer.
9) The authorized dealer of reinforcement steel means the dealer whose names are listed in the steel producer's web site or certified by the producers.
10) Accepting Authority for testing Laboratory shall be Regional Head.
11) READYMIX CONCRETE (RMC) IS ACCEPTABLE FOR USE. HOWEVER, SITE INCHARGE SHALL APPROVE THE SOURCE OF MATERIALS
TO BE USED FOR RMC .The documentation to be maintained shall be as per IS 4926:2003, Reaffirmed 2012 i.e.
i) Information to be supplied by the purchaser (clause 7)
ii) Information to be supplied by the producer (clause 8)
iii) Sampling for concrete strength should be one set of 3 nos. of cubes for every 50 cum or part thereof for each day of concreting and 28
days compressive strength shall be tested in line with IS 456:2000, Reaffirmed 2016.
12) Epoxy coating on reinforcement steel wherever required shall be done as per IS 13620:1993, Reaffirmed 2015.

be packed in bags and stored in accordance with the provisions in IS 4082:1996, Reaffirmed 2003.
14) If e-mail facility is not available in CLIENT approved Lab, report may be collected directly by CLIENT/ Speed Post / Registered Post / UPC.
15) In case any Laboratory refuses to allow CLIENT representative for witnessing the test, same shall be taken in writing and approval by Regional Head.
16) Standard marking of ISi mark along with license number (Seven digit no., represented as CMIL-----) should be verified. for construction materials and
test certificate submitted for review
17) The mix design shall be approved in line with standard format. for mix design concrete and final approval of mix design shall be done in
consultation with Regional engineering department.
18) Tolerance of cement weight shall be governed by clause no. 10.1.1 of IS 269:2015.for OPC and by clause no. 10.1.1 of IS 1489 (Part 1):2015 for PPC.
19) Digital Photographs during concreting, erection and stringing for each location shall be taken and kept in record for future reference by high
resolution GPS enabled camera.
20) All the charges in connection with NDTI Core tests shall be borne by the contractor.

ENGINEERING GUIDE LINE FOR CHECKING/ ACCEPTING SOIL INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Following are the guide line for checking and accepting the soil investigation report:
The soil investigation shall be carried out in line with the Technical Specification. The detailed soil Investigation Report should be signed by the soil
investigating agency, Line Contractor and CLIENT's Site Engineer/RHO Engineer and following points should be checked in the soil investigation report:
1) Normal Locations :
a) Soil investigation report should contain the bore Log sheet indicating the variation of different soil strata.
b) The Bearing capacity, Bulk density (y) , Submerged Density(Ysub) , angle of repose (o) in dry as well as wet condition and Angle of internal friction
(<I>) for different soil layers including at 3m depth shall be indicated in the Soil investigation report.
c) Present water table and history of variation of water table at the tower location shall be indicated in the soil investigation report.
d) Classification of foundation should be indicated based on the water table, bearing capacity, Swelling Index, Soil type and the value of angle of
repose (o) in line with parameters indicated in the standard foundation drawings.
a) A sketch indicating profile of river crossing locations with borehole positions shall be indicated in the soil investigation report.
b) Maximum discharge, Maximum velocity and Highest Flood Level (HFL) data (authenticated) of the river shall be enclosed in the Soil Investigation
Report.
c) Comprehensive Bore log Sheet indicating the depth of different Strata, Soil type, SPT value & water table for each bore hole is to be indicated in the
soil investigation report.

d)
e) Natural Ground Level (GL) for all the locations are to be indicated. Note that the GL & HFL should be with respect to same reference. For
example if HFL is given in RL, the ground level should be in terms of RL only. Mixing of level with respect to MSL (Mean Sea level) & RL
should be avoided.
f) Whether the river is navigable or not is to be indicated in the soil investigation report.
g) Silt factor calculation based on the laboratory test results of weighted mean diameter (dm) of soil for different layers of the soil shall be furnished in
the soil investigation report.
h) Bulk density (y), Submerged Density ('Y-sub), Value of Cohesion (C) and Angle of internal friction (<I> ) for different soil layers based on laboratory test
results shall be indicated in the soil investigation report.
i) If Rock is encountered prior to termination of bore hole (40m below existing Ground Level), core drilling should be done. The details of core
recovery (Run wise) and calculation of Rock Quality Designation (RQD) together with the photograph of core sample properly placed in a core Box
are to be enclosed in the soil investigation report.
j) If the refusal is not obtained or the type of soil encountered at 40m depth below existing ground level is very poor (like loose clay, organic deposit
etc.) further boring should be continued up to a depth of 50m below Ground Level or refusal whichever is earlier and all relevant data upto
termination depth of bore holes shall be furnished in the Soil Investigation Report as detailed above.
