GAD furnished to the contractor as a part of the tender/bid documents contains tentative span configuration proposed by the Employer. However, the contractor shall put forward his proposed span configuration. Engineers shall review and approve the same in consultation with Maha Metro. Indicative spans are 19m, 22m, 25m, 28m, 31m.
Standard span configuration of 28m or 31m shall be adopted where the alignment is either straight or radius of horizontal curvature is 700m and above. Suitable span configuration of 19m, 22m, 25m shall be adopted if the radius of horizontal curvature in alignment is sharper than 700m. At locations where there are site constraints, the span length can be 34m.
Segmental box girder construction for a span length beyond 34m shall be permitted only in exceptional cases by the Engineer duly in consultation with Maha Metro. If the radius of horizontal curvature in the alignment is 150 m or sharper, then top width of deck slab in superstructure of viaduct shall be ensured as per the guidelines issued with tender documents at Appendix 20.
For spans supporting special track layout (Crossover’s) I – Girder with deck slab may be permitted. Indicative spans may be followed for standard units as far as possible. However, in case of obligatory span and sharper curves, Steel Composite I-Girders may be resorted to with Maha Metro’s approval at no extra cost.
Bidders have to make sure that while submitting their proposal and superstructure design, the rail levels as envisaged in GAD shall be final. However, in case of any unforeseen circumstances resulting in change of rail level, variation in the range of ±500mm from rail level provided in the GAD enclosed with the bid/tender drawings is deemed to be included in the lump sum portion of contract.
Variation beyond this range shall be paid or deducted as the case may be. Only the increase/decrease in height of pier(s) (i.e., concrete and steel quantity) will be considered for either payment or rebate in this case. Difference between actual executed Rail levels and Rail levels as furnished in the GAD at each Pier location shall be considered to evaluate any variation arising on account of change in Rail level.
