specifications, preliminary mix design, workmanship and inspection testing stipulated in
specification of “plain and reinforced concrete” shall apply. Concrete shall be of grade M25 or in
line with the latest Indian standards.
Cement shall be ordinary Portland cement conforming IS 8112, IS 12269 unless specified
otherwise.
Maximum size of aggregates shall be 20mm.
Concrete, for piles cast in situ shall have sufficient slump (125 to 175mm) to give it a self
compacting consistency. The water cement ratio including the water contained in the
aggregates shall be limited to 0.55 unless otherwise stipulated. Plasticising agents may be used
by the contractor to improve the workability but the WBSETCL shall be furnished with proof that
the proposed plasticizing agent has no adverse effects on the hardened concrete or
reinforcement.
One set of test cubes (6 nos.) should be taken for each pile for testing strength of the concrete.
Three of the six cubes constituting one test shall be tested on the 7th day from casting the cubes
and the remaining three cubes shall be tested on the 28th day after casting.
The WBSETCL reserves the right to reject any pile of deficient concrete strength. Such
rejected piles shall be replaced by the contractor at his own cost who shall also bear the additional
cost of widening the pile caps resulting from the grouping of the piles as a result of replacement of
piles.
WBSETCL also reserves the right to order change in the mix design and/ or water cement ratio to
obtain the specified strength of workability.
REINFORCEMENT
A. All reinforcement for use in the piles shafts shall be as per drawing, dully tested from
manufacturers end successfully and be assembled and tied and / or welded together and made
up into cages sufficiently rigid to withstand handling without damage and distortion.

B. Joints in longitudinal reinforcement bars, if unavoidable shall be made by lapping and the
laps shall be stitch-welding duly design approved by WBSETCL to prevent distortions of
the reinforcement cage.
The projection length of longitudinal bars beyond the pile cut-off level shall be equal to 40
times the diameter or such other length as shown on the drawings.
Unless otherwise specified in the drawings, the lateral reinforcement shall consist of helix
made from 8mm dia bars at a pitch of 150 mm throughout the length of the reinforcement
cage.
The minimum number of longitudinal bars shall be six (6).
Concrete cover over all reinforcement including lateral helical reinforcement shall be 50 mm,
unless otherwise specified or shown on the drawings. Care shall be taken to preserve the
correct cover and alignment of reinforcement free from any twist, throughout the whole
operation of placing the reinforcement in the bore hole and placing the concrete. The inside
diameter of the reinforcement cage shall be adequate for the operation of the Tremie pipe
when used.
10.13.03.05 DRILLING MUD (BENTONITE)
Drilling mud corresponding to basic properties given under Appendix –A under Clause – 4.3 of
IS: 2911 (Part I / Sec 2) shall be used to keep the sides of the bore holes established. Mud shall
have THIXOTROPHIC properties i.e. gel forming property. The drilling mud shall have such
properties as to permit the formation of Filter cake on the sides of the bore holes, the thickness of
which would depend on the nature of the subsoil deposit. Sodium based Bentonite have ideal
properties for use as drilling mud.
Fresh Sodium based Bentonite shall have :
The liquid limit more than 300 percent when tested in accordance with IS: 2720 (Part V) and less
than 450 percent. The PH of 5% suspended between 8 & 11.5 the free water standing after 24
hours of 10% suspended of 100 cc be only a thin veil of water. Sand content of Bentonite powder
to be not more than 7%. The marsh viscosity of 5% suspension to be around 30 to 35sec. The 10
minute gel strength of fresh 5% bentonite to be between 10 to 75 kg/sq.m. The specific gravity of
the suspension not to be less than 1.12.
During the boring operations the fresh suspension gets contaminated with bored spoil and
gradually becomes heavy. This contaminated bentonite may be reused depending upon the
manner of boring, type of strata encountered and the specific gravity of the contaminated
bentonite. It is essential to check the specific gravity of the bentonite in the bore hole before
concreting. The contaminated bentonite may be collected in a suitable receptacle and allow the
heavier particles to settle and the slurry washed before reuse.
The drilling muds shall be suitably disposed off without causing any nuisance to the
surrounding area in a manner approved by the EIC.
10.13.03.06 BORING OPERATIONS
BORING FOR UNLINED BORE HOLES
Boring may be done by direct mud circulation, reverse mud circulation or by bailer using drilling
mud to stabilize the bore hole from collapsing.
A protective steel casing of suitable length both above the ground and below it shall be installed
for protection of personnel and to prevent cavities and displacement of the earth and for retention
of the surface water.

In direct mud circulation method entire hole should then be kept full with fluid which should be
kept in motion. The density and the composition of the fluid should be such as to suit the
requirements of ground conditions and to maintain the fine materials from the borings in
suspension.
The bottom of the bore holes shall be cleaned of all the spoils and sediments before placing of
concrete.
Consistency of the drilling mud suspension shall be controlled throughout the boring as well as
concreting operation in order to keep the hole stabilized as well as to avoid concrete getting mixed
up with the thicker suspension of mud.
10.13.03.07 CONCRETING
Concreting of boreholes shall start as quick as possible after its completion. Should a bore hole be
left un-concreted for more than two hours, it shall again be cleaned thoroughly before placing of
concrete. The concrete shall be freshly mixed and poured in sufficient quantities in the casing so
that during the withdrawal, a sufficient head of concrete is maintained to prevent the inflow of soil
and subsoil water.
The entire depth of the pile shall be concreted in one operation without stoppage.
Exposed portions of piles shall be cured for at least 10 days from the date of casting.
When installing the piles in groups, sufficient time shall be allowed for freshly poured concrete in
pile to set before installing adjacent piles. The EIC in consultation with the contractor shall
determine the installation sequence and time schedule to ensure that freshly concreted piles in a
group with in 0.5 m of each other however not be constructed before a lapse of 2 days after the
installation of the pervious pile.
All care shall be taken to prevent formation of voids in the piles by pockets of air trapped within.
Particular attention shall be paid to this during the withdrawal of casing. The volume of
concrete placed in the pile shall be checked with the theoretical volume of the pile, and any
