Conducting Standard Penetration Test (SPT) in the bore holes @ every 3m depth and / or change of strata in all the bore hole,. Collecting & Packing SPT samples from split spoon sampler, proper sealing using wax etc. and transport to laboratory for testing suitably as per Technical Specification and IS codes. Note: The scope of the item shall also include safe retrieval, packaging, supply of core boxes, sealing, labelling, preservation of SPT spoon samples in the manner as specified in IS 4078: 1980 and other applicable code. Core Boxes made up of GI sheets (GI sheet of thickness not less than 0.60 mm conforming to IS 277:2003 shall be sturdy)

Obtaining Undisturbed tube / piston soil samples, 90 mm diameter & 450 mm long from all depths of the drilled boreholes, necessary sealing and transporting the same to testing laboratory as per specifications and as directed by the engineer. Note: Bidder should study the sample borelogs to understand the soil type expected to be encountered for sampling. Collection of undisturbed samples will require deployment of special samplers viz. Mazier/Denision etc considering the silty sand strata at site. Samples to be collected before conducting SPT in the bore holes. As an alternate acceptance, 2 nos. of Undisturbed samples of size 75mm diameter & 300mm long may be permitted but it will be considered as one no. of sample for payment purpose.

Note- 50% payment will be released after conducting the test at site, 30% on submission of draft report along with required data and remaining payment will be released after review and acceptance of final report by NPCIL.

Plugging of bore holes with the cement in-situ soil grout (1:6) of flowing consistency after the completion of all the tests in the bore holes as per the direction and clearance of the Engineer etc all complete. Note: The grouting of the hole shall be done using a tremie extending upto bottom of the hole and raising the same as the grouting proceeds.
