13.0 Terms Of Reference

The Mazagon Dock Limited (MDL) is India’s Premier Warship building yard under the
Ministry of Defense, Government of India. MDL has proposed to create a new navigational
channel of depth (-) 6.00 m below CD for movement of vessels from northern waterfront of
MDL to Offshore Container Terminal (OCT) of Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) in Mumbai
Harbour.
In this regard, MDL have entrusted WAPCOS to undertake Feasibility Studies for Creation of
a new Navigational Channel from northern waterfront of MDL to Offshore Container
Terminal (OCT) of MbPT.
In view of above, WAPCOS has decided to invite Techno-financial bids for conducting
marine geotechnical survey (8 nos. marine boreholes) from suitable reputed
Contractor/Agency.
Project site is located at Mumbai harbour on the waterfront of Mazagon Dock Limited. The
coordinates of the borehole locations shall be provided at the time of survey investigation.
The specifications shall be as follows:
13.1 Soil Boring
a) The Contractor shall be responsible for the proper positioning of his rig at the selected sites.
b) The survey party shall use suitable equipment for ascertaining the depth, suitable
Tender Document for Marine Geotechnical Investigation Work

positioning system a n d suitable traversing equipment for this work.

c) The boring through the different layers of soil shall be carried out by mechanically operated
equipment using shell and auger or Rotary drilling rigs. The Boring through rock shall be
carried out by hydraulically controlled rotary drilling equipment as may be applicable or by
any other method approved by the Engineer’s Representative.
d) The minimum diameter of boreholes in the case of rock needing rotary drilling shall be 100
mm. However, the Contractor shall employ suitable rotary drilling equipment capable of
yielding continuous large diameter rock cores of preferably not less than 55 mm in
diameter. Boreholes shall normally be carried down to proven bed rock or to such greater
or lesser depth as directed by the Engineer’s Representative. The depth of boring for
purposes of payment shall always be as measured below the seabed level.
e) The survey party shall note that the quantities indicated in the financial proposal are
indicative only and may vary. The payment shall be made as per actual quantity executed
only. For calculating the total contract amount unit rates accepted by WAPCOS shall be
adopted.
f) The survey party shall be solely responsible for the safety, loss, theft, and
breakdown etc. of their equipment and safety of the manpower and shall get the same
appropriately insured.
g) Two copies of the daily boring record shall be delivered by the Contractor to the Engineer’s
Representative by not later than noon on the following day.

13.2 Rock Drilling

a) Rotary core drilling technique with continuous core recovery shall be adopted for drilling
through rock, attempt being made to achieve the highest core recovery possible. The
Contractor shall continuously and without fail record the rate of sinking of drills rods,
nature, type and sequence of rock drilled and any excessive, loss of drilling fluid during the
entire drilling operations for each borehole. The Contractor shall also determine the
percentage Rock recovery ratio and rock quality designation (RQD) from the recovered
cores for each stage of core advance and for all the boreholes.
b) Rock shall be classified in six grades I through VI in accordance with the classification made
in BS : 5930.
c) Drilling shall be continued through the rock and only be terminated at -7.0M CD or as
directed by the Engineer.
13.3 Samples
The Contractor shall take utmost care to ensure at all times that samples taken are truly
representative of the soil conditions actually existing at the levels and site noted. Should
any sample be rejected by the Engineer’s Representative for any reason connected with the
Tender Document for Marine Geotechnical Investigation Work
In front of Northern Waterfront of MDL for Capital Dredging

boring or sampling technique, equipment used or other reasons the Contractor shall take
additional samples at his own cost.
All samples shall be carefully taken, handled, placed in suitable containers, labeled, packed
and preserved in accordance with IS:1892 and sent to the laboratory immediately after
completion of each borehole. All samples shall be labeled immediately after being taken out
of the boreholes. A list of samples collected in each container shall be placed inside each
container.

13.4 Rock Cores

Where rock cores are required, the Contractor shall, as far as practicable in the opinion of
the Engineer’s Representative, ensure that continuous rock cores are obtained, even in
weathered rock.
Core samples shall be indexed and stored in properly constructed core boxes in accordance
with IS:1892 with amendments and IS:4078.
Coring in a borehole shall only commence at the depth specified or as directed by the
Employer. As a guide, coring shall be carried out only after 3 consecutive SPT at 2.0m
intervals or at other intervals specified by the Employer, consistently gives a blow count of
more than 100 for 30 cm penetration.
The object of the borings in this contract is to provide continuous cores of the foundation
stratum. The Contractor shall sink bores using rotary drilling machine and swivel type large
diameter triplets tube core barrel and diamond coring bits capable of giving rock cores not
less than 55 mm in diameter. The speed of rotation, the downward pressure on the core
barrel, the pressure at which the drilling fluid is introduced into the hole and the length of
the hole drilled (run – length) prior to the removal of the core shall all be controlled so as to
ensure maximum recovery to the satisfaction of the Engineer’s Representative.

13.5 Field Tests

The Contractor shall carry out Standard Penetration Tests inside boreholes to assess the
penetration resistance ‘N’ primarily on non-cohesive strata and weak weathered rocks at
every change of stratum and thereafter at intervals of 1.5 meters or as directed by the
Engineer’s Representative. The equipment and method to be used shall be as described in
IS:2131.
During the test, disturbed samples shall be obtained at every change of stratum and sent to
the laboratory for classification and testing. Relevant records shall be maintained in the
bore log.
In hard ground where full penetration of 30cms cannot be achieved, the test shall be
stopped at the number of blows to be decided by the Engineer’s Representative and actual
Tender Document for Marine Geotechnical Investigation Work
