ROCK CUTTING
Notes :-
For converting lift into horizontal lead the lift up to 3.60 metres will be multiplied by 10 and from 3.60
metres to 6.0 metres, it will be squared and multiplied by 3.3 and beyond 6.0 metres, it will be
multiplied by 20. No cross lead what-so-ever
The lift shall be measured from the centre of gravity of the excavated rock to that of placed rock. This
shall constitute the mean lift for that section. When rock has to be carried over a spoil bank and
dumped beyond it, the mean lift would be the difference in levels between the centre of gravity of the
excavated rock and top of the spoil bank omitting the dowel.
