6.2 Steps and Procedure for Prior to Start the Activity under the Existing OHLT:
6.2.1 Coordination and concurrence to the proponent organization.
6.2.2 Check approved certificate of operator.
6.2.3 Check complete details of concrete pump and crane capacity.
6.2.4 Check steel cage before lifting.
6.2.5 Check Proper ground compaction and enough space for crane and rig movement.
6.2.6 Check all proper tools and PPE.
6.2.7 Check wind speed before proceeding lifting activities.
6.2.8 Make pre-lift meeting before start lifting activity.
6.2.9 Request for work permit.
6.2.10 Only qualified skilled climbers are allowed to go up on the tower.
6.3 Foundation Methodology:
6.3.1 Demarcation and Setting Out
The surveyor will fix tower center point with its alignment and foundation setting level with respect to the
existing GL, at each tower location.
6.3.2 Excavation
Pile Point Excavation:

A hole is augured according to the designed diameter and depth by an appropriate auger machine. A pile casing is
driven into the soil till the hard strata reaches. The fabricated reinforcement steel cage is lowered in the hole and
Page 9 of 15
Client :SEC
required level will be maintained and it will be concreted as required. The pile is concreted up to the stub base
level. Stub setting is done at 2nd stage after removing the piling equipment and the remaining part concreted.
General Excavation:
Soil will be excavated with suitable equipment as required for the type of soil. Final adjustment for the required
depths of excavation is usually done by smaller equipment or even by manual labor. Over excavations are
avoided, however, in unavoidable circumstances the extra depth is backfilled with concrete with the
Engineer's approval.
6.3.3 Reinforcement Steel
Reinforcement steel is fixed after completion of the excavation. Deformed steel bars according to the required
standard are generally used as the reinforcement steel. The steel is cut and bent at the supplier's workshop, in
accordance with the requirements of the designs /drawings. The steel quality is duly certified by the mill test
certificates. Due margins are provided in the steel bars to be cut at site for any adjustment desired. Tie wires 14
AWG are used for fixing the reinforcement steel cages. Spacers are attached to the steel to provide due concrete
cover for steel. Plastic or concrete spacers are used for this purpose. The steel cages for caisson and pile
foundations may be fabricated at the supplier's workshop or at site workshop and lowered into the drilled holes
before concreting.
6.3.4 Dewatering
Excavated pits of the foundation may require dewatering in case of high water table. Dewatering is achieved by
using adequate pumps to maintain dry conditions during concreting.
6.3.5 Form Work
Where required, forms are used to cast the required size and shape of the foundation. Form work to be used may
be of the steel or wood, for each type of foundation except caisson and pile types, where form is not required.
The forms are made as per the foundation dimensions in parts and bolted together for the completed foundation.
The fixing of the form work in position is obtained by jacks and wooden props as per the space availability.
6.3.6 Stub Setting
Stub Setting for heavier towers is done by means of setting templates for single legs. The setting dimensions are
prepared separately as per the tower designs. The stubs are bolted on the template to hold it in the final position.
All dimensions and setting checks and cross checks are performed as per the check list (format-F23) and declared
ready for concrete. The format F2 also provided for post concrete checks.
In case of light towers, stub setting is achieved by means of 4 - legs template or placing in position the tower base
which ensures the setting of the stub in its final position. An adequate template may also be used as the case may
be.

Client :SEC
6.3.7 Concreting
Described here below is the general concreting method which will be adopted for all types of foundation casted.
The method uses ready mix concrete obtained from an approved source. The concrete ingredients are mixed by
weight, at the approved batching plant and transported in truck mixer in accordance with ASTM C94, ACI 304 and
ACI 31 B. Admixtures and retarding agents are used according to the requirements and specifications as
approved.
The placement of concrete is with the help of a portable chute if depth is more than 1.5 meters from the bottom
of the mixer truck chute, or concrete pouring pumps are used as required.
Motor driven vibrators are used during concreting to avoid void/ air pockets in the concrete.
The concreting of pile foundations will be done in the following two stages.
• 1st stage - Pile concreting

• 2nd stage - Chimney concreting
The slump of the concrete does not exceed 175mm in case of Pile foundations and 125 mm slump in case of
chimney foundations.
6.3.8 Curing of Concrete
Concrete curing is important so that it dries out slowly in moist conditions to obtain the required strength, Curing
may be done by applying the approved curing compounds or by watering the concrete after being casted.
6.3.9 Back Filling
Back filling is done immediately after completing the foundation and applying the concrete curing procedure.
Earth removed in the excavation is used to back fill if suitable. If the excavated earth is insufficient, or have
boulders and stones of more than 10cm, the backfill material is taken from the adjacent area or borrow pit
approved by the Engineer.
The back filling is done in layers of 150 mm each and compacted as per specifications.
7.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
7.1 Acquire proper SEC work permit.

7.2 Follow all precautions indicated within the issued work permit.
7.3 Notify proper and concerned authorities regarding the activity to be done, i.e. PMT, POD

7.4 Check all manpower and equipment for competence, efficiency and effectiveness.
7.5 Implement the proper use of PPE's.
7.6 Conduct tool box meeting before commencing with the activity.
7.7 Do daily physical and mental conditioning for work focus and awareness of all hazards at job site .
