Bhabha Atomic Research Centre Tender

Extraction and testing of concrete drill dust samples from the structure. Three drill dust samples from depths 0-15mm, 15-30mm and 30-45mm shall be collected from each location. The samples shall be tested for chlorides, sulphates, PH and alkalinity.

Conducting carbonation depth test study on the structure

Extraction of concrete (75mm dia) cores from locations specified and testing for crushing strength, water absorption & unit weight. The quoted rate shall include charges for filling back the core holes with polymer modified mortar and finishing etc. complete

Conducting profometer scan at specified location of the structure for reinforcement steel location, size and cover measurement, etc. complete.

Conducting conduct an aggregate alkali reaction test on hardened concrete, you typically follow guidelines set by standards ASTM C1260 (Standard Test Method for Potential Alkali Reactivity of Aggregates) of hardened concrete at different loactions of building . The test is to conducted based on ASTM C856-77, to find out the different properties of hardened concrete such as Aggregate Characteristics, Cement Type, Microstructure, Cracking and Defects, Hydration Products, Porosity and Permeability, Color and Texture, Historical Context to estimae the Durability and Performance of concrete. The quoted rate shall include charges for filling back areas chipped for exposing the reinforcement with polymer modified mortar and submission of test reports.

Conducting Linear Polarisation resistence test at all locations to assess the risk of corrosion including exposing the reinforcement for carrying out the test. The test shall be conducted as per BIS/ASTM specifications. The quoted rate shall include charges for filling back areas chipped for exposing the reinforcement with polymer modified mortar and submission of test reports. 5 potential observations taken at one location will form a unit for measurement purposes.

Preparation and submission of two copies of draft report as specified followed by five copies of final report along with a soft copy of the same on diskette covering Non Destructive test observations, analysis, interpretation and conclusions of NDT observations, drawing out measures for durability make up, estimation of repair quantities, rate, rate analysis for major repair items. Note: 1. The rates quoted for item No.1 to 10 shall include preparation of test area, making good the areas with polymer modified mortar, disposing off debris and necessary scaffolding arrangements for testing

Conduct distress mapping Analysis for each floor in AFD building including highbay, Store rooms, sitting rooms , canopy staircase, porch all the areas of AFD. Distress symptoms will be marked on floor plan as per notation used or as directed by Project Engineer and prepare data sheets mentioning exact location of each crack, height, and width of crack and Preparation and submission of two copies of draft report as specified followed by five copies of final report along with a soft copy of the same on diskette covering distress mapping Analysis observations and conclusions along with photos etc., Complete as directed by Engineer-in-Charge. Note: Condition Survey of the area under consideration shall be carried out, which includes a) Visual Inspection: Grouping of structural members should be done during visual inspection based on environmental exposure conditions e.g. external and internal members. Also, identification of Corrosion prone locations as per Visual Inspection. Follow the notations and typical worksheet for recording distress during visual inspection and damage classes based on visual inspection as per CPWD handbook on repair. The condition survey report shall comprise the output of visual inspection and NDT results. Major sections to be covered in the report shall be: (i) Identification of the cause of the distress. (ii) Systematic documentation of all observations during visual inspection, including distress maps. (iii) Systematic documentation of all test results obtained from NDTs. (iv) Determination of concrete properties based on NDTs (v) Requirement of propping of structural members to relieve part/full load acting on the member. (vi) Requirement of immediate evacuation and safety measures to prevent any immediate major mishap. (vii) Recommendations on repair/retrofit strategy with due consideration to available space and accessibility for ongoing activities. (viii) Requirements on safety measures to be adopted during execution of repair/retrofit jobs. (ix) Limitations/assumptions used. (x) Any other recommendation.
