1.2 Background to Scheme
This Contract forms part of the Mumbai Sewage Disposal Project (MSDP): Stage II -
Priority Works. The basic objective of the project is to provide a healthier and improved
environment for the people of Mumbai by improving the quality and reliability of
wastewater collection, treatment and disposal, whilst minimizing the impact of
wastewater on the environment.
The sewage collection system in Mumbai comprises seven zones, each operating
independently and comprising a sewage collection network, pumping stations, pumping
mains, wastewater treatment facilities and outfalls.
The sources of the Influent in the Versova catchment comprise domestic and commercial
premises. Background Information for the Versova Catchment is included with this RFP
including:
• Estimated annual raw sewage generation projections for the Versova WwTF
catchment;
• Historic data of the raw sewage flows pumped by the Versova Influent Pumping
Station (IPS) in the recent past.
At present the Influent is conveyed to the Versova WwTF by means of the existing
Versova IPS located at the junction of Link Road and Jayprakash Narayan Road near D.
N. Nagar Metro station. It is planned to convey influent by gravity from Versova
catchment area to new pumping station proposed (by other contractor) in WwTF Versova
premises through a Tunnel (by other Contactor) and further will be pumped to treatment
facility.
Currently the flows received at the Versova IPS near D. N. Nagar Metro station and the
maximum capacity it is able to deliver, are less than the required design capacity of the
Works required under this contract. As network connectivity is improved, the flows
arriving at the existing IPS will increase to exceed its design capacity. Therefore new
pumping station will be installed at WwTF (by other contractor), Versova area and
sewage will conveyed through tunnel by gravity. All of this work will be managed by the
Employer and carried out by others in separate contracts.

Volume 2 Page 138 Employer’s Requirement


DBO Contract – Versova WwTF Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai

Earth and water pressures shall be determined by the Contractor and shall take into
account the prevailing site conditions and the proposed construction methods.
The Contractor’s attention is drawn to the fact that the ground water table has been
recorded in close proximity to the existing ground levels. Geotechnical investigations
may not reflect this fact as they may have been carried out in dry weather. Water
retaining structures shall be designed and constructed for uplift based on the external
ground water table at ground level and the structure empty. Uplift shall be resisted by
dead weight with a factor of safety of 1.2. Ground anchors and pressure relief valves as
a means of dealing with uplift are not permissible. Structures shall also be designed to
resist full internal water pressure with no external water pressure or earth pressure.
The possibility and consequences of explosions shall be investigated during HAZOP
studies and the design shall take account of this risk.

clearly indicated in the design calculations, which are to be included within the
Contractor’s Documents.
14.4 Earthworks, Ground Improvements and Foundations
The new works is to be constructed within the site of existing lagoons and a redundant
section of outfall channel.
Geotechnical information relating to the ground conditions in the lagoons and outfall
channel is included in the Background Information.
In summary, the lagoons and outfall channel are situated over a layer of some 7.0 m to
9.0 m of soft to stiff clay which is of poor bearing capacity and will settle significantly
when loaded. The soft to stiff clay overlies grey fractured basalt. As a consequence it is
considered that the probable optimum solution for foundations for the works built on the
lagoons and outfall channel area will be as follows:
• Prior to any construction work being carried out the lagoons and outfall channel will
have to be drained and sludge will have to be removed and disposed off. Sludge will
have to be dewatered prior to disposal off-site. Prior to draining the outfall channel
the redundant section will have to be isolated from the remaining section which will
continue to receive effluent from the two active lagoons;
• The structures which need to be piled will have to be piled with the pile length
sufficient to bear upon the underlying weathered rock as a minimum. Depending on
loading the piles may have to be extended to bear upon un-weathered rock;
The probable construction sequence is as follows:
1. Empty lagoons of sewage water by pumping into the operating lagoons (discharge
point, rate of flow, pre-treatment requirements to be agreed in advance with MCGM).

Volume 2 Page 139 Employer’s Requirement


DBO Contract – Versova WwTF Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai

2. Dam off the live section of outfall channel and dewater the redundant section by
pumping into the operating lagoons (discharge point, rate of flow, pre-treatment
requirements to be agreed in advance with MCGM).
3. Remove sludge layer from base of lagoons and outfall channel to the original base level.
4. Removed sludge to be dewatered and taken off-site for disposal at an approved
location. Centrate from dewatering to be discharged into the existing lagoons
(discharge point, rate of flow, pre-treatment requirements to be agreed in advance
with MCGM).
5. Layer of graded compacted stone (say 300mm – 500mm thickness) to be placed in
the base of the lagoons to give a working platform/surface for piling rigs.
6. To carry out work in a reasonable time several rigs will be required.
7. Piling installation could commence as soon as access is possible for piling rigs. All
structures shall be on piled foundations.
8. Construction of piled structures could commence as soon as pile installation is
complete.
9. All service connections to structures (pipes, cables, ducts) will have to allow for any
projected differential settlement.
The above is indicative of one possible approach to the Works.
The Contractor is wholly responsible for developing his approach to constructing the
foundations for structures, filling the lagoons and outfall channel to FGL, and dealing with
any related issues such as differential settlement. The Contractor remains fully liable for
the selection, design, construction and performance of the ground improvement
measures he adopts.
Prior to commencing earthworks and foundation works whether as described above or
using different techniques, the Contractor shall submit the geotechnical interpretive
report, calculations for earthworks and foundations as required by Clause 4.4.2 and a
detailed construction method statement and programme relating to this work as required
by Clause 4.5.

17.4.4 Hydraulic Validation Test

During the Process Commissioning or prior to issue of the Commissioning Certificate the
Contractor shall demonstrate that the whole of the Works is capable of passing the
instantaneous pass forward flow (PFF) that it has been designed and constructed to deal
with, without overflow or spillage or exceedance of the levels shown in the final approved
hydraulic profile of the Works. During the Hydraulic Validation Test any section of the
Works under test shall be subject to the return and recycle flows it would be subject to
under normal operation in addition to the test flow rate of the PFF. Since the Influent is
unlikely to be available at this rate during the Commissioning or Plant Proving Period the
Contractor shall propose a method for simulating the PFF. This could include:
• If the works has multiple process trains by passing the appropriate proportion of the
PFF through 1 module;
• Accumulating flow in all sumps so that pump run times can be extended beyond
what would be required by the incoming flow;
• Using available storage to temporarily store incoming flow and then discharge at an
accelerated rate;
• Using temporary pumps to recycle flows to increase flow rates in the portion of the
works subject to recycling.
The Contractor’s proposals for the Hydraulic Validation Test shall be included in the
Testing Plan.
