Civil Work:
- While planning for the work of transportation of bridge construction materials to the bridge site., the finished formation of earth work in banks and cuttings with or without blanket layer should not be used for plying of trucks or other vehicles used for transportation.
- This restriction has specially been imposed to save the top surface of the formed formation from forming pits and ruts, which later are likely to accumulate water and pose problems for maintenance.
- The mechanical means required to meet the stipulations mentioned in the above sub Para should be arranged by the Contractor.
- Railway land, if available and spare-able, shall be provided for the purpose of stacking of material and setting up of concrete batching plant, etc. However, the Contractor shall be responsible for arranging any such requirement of land and arranging/developing any required approach to site of work, etc at his own cost.
