The cutting work is to be done adjacent to the existing MG line and every care shall be taken by the contactor while doing the cutting work either by excavation or by blasting.

5.3 The description of three classifications of earthwork in cutting mentioned in the schedule are as follows:-Soil, soft moorum including all ordinary soils like black cotton soils, ordinary earth soils like organic soils, made up ground, coal as filling, loam or sand, hard moorum which comprises of moorum, stiff clay, gravel and material which is so hard that it cannot be excavated without the use of the crow bars and picks, soils containing stone or boulders measuring under 0.03 cum will also be included under this head.Rock not requiring blasting, shall comprise of soft rock which can be excavated by means of bars and picks. Under this class will also be included detached masses of rock measuring more than 0.03 cum and up to 0.40 cum which can be completely and properly removed without blasting and all fissures stones will also be included in this class.Rock requiring blasting will comprise of soft rock which requires blasting for excavation. This also includes disintegrated varieties or rock which after blasting are likely to breakdown into small pieces.Rock requiring blasting is to be carried out in close proximity to the existing track. Rock may have to be excavated manually by chiseling or by using pavement breakers etc, where blasting of rock is not permitted.The classification of earthwork shall be done as the work progressed by the DEN/DY.CE in the presence of the contractor who will be given notice in writing requiring his presence. In the event of the contractor not being present, the Engineer or his representative shall reserve the right to proceed with the work of classification experts and the contractor will have no claim for reclassification on grounds of his absence during the classification. With regard to the nature and proportions of different categories of soils, the engineer’s judgment and decision shall be accepted as final and binding on the contractor. However, the chief Engineer (construction), south Central Railway, reserves the right to order review of classifications made by the engineer if it comes to his notice that the classification made by the engineer is grossly varying from the actual at site.Cut spoils shall be stacked on the top of cutting or at designated spoil dumps by leading by head loads. The cut spoils when not used for embankment shall generally be lead away from the cutting and nearer to the boundary and the cut spoils dumped shall be neatly dressed for work completed.

of 80

Even if dumped initially nearer to the track, the contactor has to ultimately take to near the boundary. Pending this, only 80% of the payment under this will be allowed. The cut spoils, not suitable for embankment may not be lead to the banks and of its suitability for bank will decide by concerned DY.CE/ DEN of the project.To be composed of such soil/soils only as stands/stand exposed on slopes of the finished cutting depending upon whether the cuttings are through or one lead on transverse sloping round. The percentage of each type of soil thus standing exposed in cross-section will be the same as that obtained by computing the area of strip formed by joining the points which form the Extremities of occurrences of the particular soil on the existing and finished side slopes of the cutting by straight line/straight lines and working out as percentage obtained shall be the percentage or each type of soil in question. In the cross section concerned, the cross –sections will be recorded at intervals of 25m or less as decided by the Engineer.

Where it is not possible to take cross-section for computing the rock excavated by blasting, payment for such item will be made by stack measurement duly deducting for voids as per specifications.

In regard to blasting and storage of explosives, the contractor shall execute the work in accordance with the provision of S.C.Railway specifications No.205 Blasting operations should be carried out in accordance with the directions of the Engineer.
