4 For the bridge pile foundations, SDE, informed that geotechnical profile was submitted SDE
on 8th May and cost comparison was given to average depth not for an envelope. There
is a high level of variation which cannot be limited for an average depth and they will
make supplementary submission from earlier cost comparison which can be applicable
for same scenario. Mr. Chandrasiri, stated that they have considered weak rock and
hard rock assumed as the rock level and as it is for one chainage structure they have
looked at entire thing with overburden and rock level average height and showed
economical. TL informed that technical justification will have to be finalized.
