b). At Site

Immediately on arrival at the site, all items of Plant shall be examined for damage to the
paint coat applied at the manufacturer’s works. Any damaged portions shall be cleaned down
to the bare metal, all rust removed, and the paint coat made good with similar paint.

After erection, such equipment / items which are not finish painted shall be done so.

Items that have been finish painted at the manufacturer’s works shall be touched up for any
damaged paint work. For finish painting, two coats of synthetic enamel as per international
standard shall be applied. Dry film thickness of each coat shall be at least 25 microns.

The dry paint film thickness shall be measured by Electrometer or other instruments
approved by the Employer’s representative. In order to obtain the dry film thickness
specified, the Contractor shall ensure that the coverage rate given by the paint manufacturer
will enable this thickness to be obtained. Strength of adhesion shall be measured with an
adhesion tester and this value shall not be less than 10 kg/cm2. Painted fabricated steel
work which is to be stored prior to erection shall be kept clear of the ground and shall be laid
out or stacked in an orderly manner that will ensure that no water or dirt can accumulate on
the surface. Suitable packing shall be laid between the stacked materials. Where cover is
provided, it shall be ventilated.

2. MECHANICAL COARSE SCREEN

The mechanical screen shall be inclined bar screen, rake type and of sturdy design to take care
of all sorts of materials envisaged in the gravity sewer. The effective opening for the sewage to
pass through shall not exceed 25 mm for coarse screen in one direction. The free standing
height of dead plate above the free board of the screen chamber shall not be less than 0.5 m for
easy maintenance.

The mechanical screen shall include the following.

• Frame work
• Bar rake
• Dead plate
• Cleaning rake
• Guide blocks
• Lower channel guides
• Upper channel guides
• Discharge chute
• Hoist drum and shaft assembly
• Drive unit with motor
• Machinery platform
• Screen canopy
• Control panel

The frame work of the screen shall be of robust construction and shall consist of SS angles /
channels. The frame work shall support the drive mechanism platform and the inspection and
maintenance platform.

The bar rack shall consist of stainless steel bars formed straight and true and accurately spaced
to provide required openings between adjacent bars. Bars shall extend from the bottom of the
channel to a height of at least 325 mm above the maximum water depth in the channel and be
fastened at that level to a dead plate. Bars shall be supported only at both ends.

The dead plate of stainless steel construction shall extend from the top of bar rack to the
screening discharge point in the head section.

The wetted parts of cleaning rakes shall be fabricated in Stainless Steel. The rake ties shall be
replaceable and bolted to the rake carriage and shall mesh with the bar screen openings.
The rake assembly shall be supported by cast iron sliding blocks and shall slide in stainless steel
rolled section channel guides recessed in the side walls / anchored to the side walls. The
discharge chute shall be attached to the top of the dead plate and consist of a pivoted section

and fixed section. The section of discharge chute, which will be pivoted, shall be designed to
prevent screenings from returning to the upstream side of channel when the rake discharges
screenings from the cleaning rake. The fixed section of the discharge chute shall direct the
screenings to the belt conveyor. The discharge chute shall be fabricated from stainless steel.

The drum shaft shall be solid cold rolled steel of sufficient size to transmit the power required.
The drum shaft shall be grease lubricated pillow block rolled bearings and shall support two sets
of two grooved rope / hoist drums with one drum of each set keyed to the shaft while the other is
free from limited rotation controlled by the fixed drum. The two inside drum shall be provided with
friction bank brakes to assist in opening of rake carriage. Cables shall be provided for raising and
lowering the screen rake. The drive unit for the screen shall be of the motorized type securely
mounted on the machinery platform. The drive unit shall consist of an electric motor within built
AC/DC brakes and of crane (S4) duty coupled to a gear reducer. The gear reducer shall be
further coupled to the hoist shaft by means of pinion and spur gear. The service factor of gear
box shall be minimum 2.0. A suitable motor shall drive the mechanism.

A machinery platform to support the drum shaft assembly and drive unit shall be provided. The
machinery platform supporting frame shall be fabricated from mild steel plate / rolled sections.
Screen canopy / cover shall be provided on top of the hoist assembly for weather protection. The
mechanism shall incorporate an overload protection device incorporated in the drive assembly.
The mechanism shall consist of an overload protection device with a shear pin and trip lever and
a limit switch. In the event of overload, the shear pin shall break thereby changing the position of
trip lever which shall then strike the limits switch to cut off the supply to the motor.

• Rotary Limit Switch for limiting Upper & Lower Travel


• Slack Cable Limit Switch
• Upper Over-travel Cutoff Limit Switch which shuts off the motor and sounds an alarm if the
rotary limit switch fails to operate.
• Over load protection limit switch.
• Power to open motor brakes to prevent the rake carriage from free falling into the screen
channel when power is cut off to the motor.

Mechanical Coarse Screen having 25 mm clear spacing, the coarse bar screens shall be made
of minimum 10 mm x 30 mm thick Stainless Steel (SS 304) flats respectively. Convey or Belt and
chute arrangement shall be provided to take the screenings to the screenings dropped from
chute will be collected in a wheel burrow. Adequate RCC Plat forms shall be provided at the
upper level to enable operation. Railings shall be provided around the entire periphery of the
platform. The entire structure is to be M 30 concrete and as per international standards including
the platform. Galvanized or epoxy coated M.S ladder shall be provided for access from the
ground level to the top of the unit & to the operating platform.

Number of Units : 01 Mechanical Screen (Working)


Min. Freeboard : 0.5 m
Wheeled Trolley : 01 No.

All other accessories, whether specified or not, but required for completeness of contract shall be
in contractor’s scope.

2.1. Screw or Belt Conveyor

The bar screening system must includes screw or belt conveyor for transportation of debris upto
bucket or trolley.

The conveyor system shall have a capacity to transfer the maximum screenings anticipated at
the peak flow. The conveyor provided for discharge of screenings shall be interlocked with all the
screenings discharging on to the conveyor so that it operates when the screenings are
discharged on to it and stops automatically after a time lag when the screen stops discharging
the screenings on top the conveyor.

3. WASTE WATER PUMPS

Acceptable Sources: Internationally recognized manufacturer

Protective Coating: The pumps shall be epoxy painted and have effective corrosion control.
