TOP SOIL PRESERVATION
It is required to prevent soil erosion through storm water and wind, both during
construction and post-development. Measures to be adopted include temporary
landscaping, permanent seeding, mulching etc. The plan shall meet the following
objectives: Prevent loss of soil during construction by storm water runoff and/or wind
erosion, including protecting topsoil (fertile soil) by stockpiling for reuse. Contractor
should take steps to protect the top soil during construction, by way of storing and
reusing it within the site. Temporary landscaping, if required, to prevent the top soil
erosion can be done by planting fast growing plants. Prevent existing trees at site
Undeveloped areas within the site should not be disturbed and be protected with
permanent landscaping before the start of construction, wherever possible. Prevent
sedimentation of storm sewer or receiving streams.Prevent polluting the air with dust
and particulate matter. During excavation or site filling activities, Top soil should be
stripped to a depth of 200mm from areas occupied by buildings, roads and external
services. Top soil is rich in nutrient so it shall be stockpiled to a height of 400mm at
the designated area. Protect the topsoil either by mulching, temporary landscaping or
covering it with some plastic cover. The same soil shall be applied during plantation of
vegetation and can also be used as a finished grade for planting areas.

DUST EMISSION CONTROL
Adjacent paved areas and roads used for construction traffic shall be maintained free
of tracked soil or fill materials. At minimum, paved traffic areas, driveways, sidewalks,
and streets shall be cleaned on a daily basis by wet sweeping and/or washing. More
frequent cleaning shall be provided as necessary. Adjacent paved areas and roads
shall be left clean at the end of each day. Exposed excavations, disturbed ground
surfaces, and unpaved traffic areas shall be maintained in a moist condition. During
non-working hours, the Site should be left in a condition that will prevent dust from
being generated. At the end of each work day, disturbed areas shall be wetted down
and security fencing shall be installed and or inspected to prevent access and
additional disturbance Provide temporary cover and daily maintenance for soil or fill
stockpiles and keep active surfaces moist. A temporary decontamination pad and/or
a stabilized construction entrance shall be provided at active site entrance/egress
locations to keep adjacent paved areas clean. Wheel washing facility shall be provided
at the exit gate of the site. Soil loaded into transport vehicles for offsite disposal will be
covered with continuous heavy duty plastic or other covering to minimize emissions to
the atmosphere. The covering will be in good condition, joined at the seams, and
securely anchored to minimize headspace where vapours may accumulate.

STORM WATER MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION
It is needed to prepare Storm Water Management Plan to show site Grading & Zoning,
Earth Mounts around Boundary of Excavated Areas, Swales with Slope along the Site
Perimeter, Storm Water Collection Pond / Pit and Clean Swales, Pit/Pond and
Maintain Site Grading on Weekly Basis.
Construct temporary drainage channels. Its main purpose is settling of sediment,
filtering of water and to minimize the soil erosion within the site. General practice -
temporary storm water trench is constructed at the periphery of the site. The basement
water can be pumped out to a temporary trench or through water pipe which is further
connected to the main storm water trench. During rain water should get stagnated
within the site and the same should be dewatered using pump with screening filter
which aids in retaining the soil.

HEALTH & SAFETY
(BEST PRACTICE)
At a construction site it is necessary to maintain health and safety of each and every
staffs and worker. Failing this can cause even a fatality. There are some protective
equipments to wear at site: Hard hats, Safety Shoes, High Visibility Jackets, Safety
Gloves Where Required, Safety Harness Where Required, Follow Safety Signages at
Site and Masks for workers involved in loading/unloading. There are several
preventive measures while working at site: Nude Electricity Wires and Loose Electricity
Wires must be avoided, Un-Barricated Excavation and Un-Barricated Floor Perimeters
should not be allowed.

5. NET ZERO BUILDING
A zero-energy building, also known as a zero net energy (ZNE) building, net-zero
energy building (NZEB), or net zero building, is a building with zero net energy
consumption, meaning the total amount of energy used by the building on an
annual basis is roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the
site.
Basically, this type of building will enable us to achieve almost zero wastage of water
as well as zero wastage of electricity
Zero energy buildings combine energy efficiency and renewable energy generation to
consume only as much energy as can be produced onsite through renewable
resources over a specified time period. Achieving zero energy is an ambitious yet
increasingly achievable goal that is gaining momentum across geographic regions and
markets. Private commercial property owners have a growing interest in developing
28. 28
zero energy buildings to meet their corporate goals, and in response to regulatory
mandates, federal government agencies and many state and local governments are
beginning to move toward zero energy building targets.

6. EXCAVATION & ANTI TERMITE TREATMENT
Excavators
Excavators generally used at site are as follows:
(i) Dipper–shovel: It is used for excavating against a face or bank consisting of open-
top bucket or dipper with a bottom opening door, fixed to an arm or dipper stick which
slides and pivots on the jib of the crane. It is suitable for excavating all clay chalk and
friable materials and for handling rock and stone. However, it is not suitable for surface
excavation for which a skimmer is used.
(ii) Backhoe: It is similar to face shovel except that the dipper stick pivots on the end
of the jib and the dipper or bucket works towards the chassis and normally has no
bottom door but is emptied by swinging away from the chassis to invert the bucket. It
may be designed to carry both a front –mounted bucket loading mechanism and a rear
mounted backhoe. It is mainly used to excavate trenches and occasionally used for
the excavation of open areas such as small basements. In the backhoe mode the
bucket lifts, swings and discharges materials while the undercarriage is stationary.
When used in the ‘loader’ mode, the machine loads or excavated through forward
motion of the machine, and lifts, transports and discharges materials.
(iii) Skimmer: This arrangement is similar to the face shovel except that in this case
the bucket slides on rollers directly along the jib and thus has a more restricted
movement. It is used for surface excavation and levelling in conjunction with transport
to haul away the excavated material.
(iv) Drag line: It is usually fitted with a long slender boom or jib and the bucket, which
in operation faces towards the machine and has no door, is supported by cable only
as on a crane. It works from the side of the excavation at normal ground level and is
used for excavating large open excavations such as basements when the depth is
beyond the limit of the boom of a backhoe. It is commonly used for open cast mining
operations.
(v) Clamshell: It consists of two hinged half-buckets or jaws pivoted to a frame which
is suspended by cable from a long jib of an excavation. The grab is used for deep
30. 30
excavations of limited area on all types of soil except rock. Crane and Grab is a variant
of this type of equipment.
On this project following equipments were used for excavation and transporting
of excavated material:-
JCB Excavator: These are heavy construction excavator by mechanical means
consisting of a boom, dipper (stick), bucket and cab on a rotating platform known as
house. The house sits atop and undercarriage with tracks/wheels. All the hydraulic
movement is accomplished by hydraulic fluid.
Poclain Excavator: These are radial piston hydraulic motors, which are mostly used
in industrial and off highway vehicles .These generally used for digging holes, trenches
and foundations . Also used for demolition, material handling, landscaping etc. They
have special wheel to excavate without any obstruction.
Dumpers: These are self-propelled wheeled machines, having an open body. It is
designed for the transport of excavated materials and consists of a shallow tipping
hopper or skip mounted on a wheeled chassis, such as, power barrow, dumper, multi-
skip dumpers, high discharge dumpers, dump truck, etc. These can be rear dump,
side dump or bottom dump.

Anti-Termite Treatment
Sub-terranean termites are responsible for most of the termite damage in buildings.
Typically, they form nests or colonies underground. In the soil near ground level in a
stump or other suitable piece of timber in a conical or dome shaped mound. The
termites find access to the super-structure of the building either through the timber
buried in the ground or by means of mud shelter tubes constructed over unprotected
foundations.
Termite control in existing as well as new building structures is very important as the
damage likely to be caused by the termites to wooden members of building and other
household article like furniture, clothing, stationery etc. is considerable. Anti-termite
treatment can be either during the time of construction i.e. pre-constructional chemical
treatment or after the building has been constructed i.e. treatment for existing building.
Prevention of the termite from reaching the super-structure of the building and its
contents can be achieved by creating a chemical barrier between the ground, from
where the termites come and other contents of the building which may form food for
the termites. This is achieved by treating the soil beneath the building and around the
foundation with a suitable insecticide.
MATERIAL USED: Any one of the following chemicals in water emulsion to achieve
the percentage concentration specified against each chemical shall be used:
(i) Chlorpyriphos emulsifiable concentrate of 20%
(ii) Lindane emulsifiable concentrate of 20%
Anti-termite treatment chemical is available in concentrated form in the market and
concentration is indicated on the sealed containers. To achieve the specified
percentage of concentration, Chemical should be diluted with water in required
quantity before it is used. Graduated containers shall be used for dilution of chemical
with water in the required proportion to achieve the desired percentage of
concentration. For example, to dilute chemical of 20% concentration. 19 parts of water
shall be added to one part of chemical for achieving 1% concentration.

10. QUALITY CONTROL
QUALITY CONTROL:-
Quality control in construction typically involves insuring compliance with minimum
standards of material and workmanship in order to insure the performance of the
facility according to the design.
Quality control is important because it is the foundation of your project's success.
When we provide advanced planning and set quality standards early on, we reduce
the risk of making costly mistakes once construction begins. Focusing on quality
control can also improve the safety of a project.
Several Tests are conducted on site to assure Quality Control:-
Compressive Strength of Cube
Compressive strength is the ability of material or structure to carry the loads on its
surface without any crack or deflection. A material under compression tends to
reduce the size, while in tension, size elongates. It is mentioned in IS 456:2000
For cube test two types of specimens either cubes of 15cm X 15cm X 15cm or
10cm X 10cm x 10cm depending upon the size of aggregate are used. For most
of the works cubical moulds of size 15cm x 15cm x 15cm are commonly used.
This concrete is poured in the mould and appropriately tempered so as not to have
any voids. After 24 hours, moulds are removed, and test specimens are put in
water for curing. The top surface of these specimen should be made even and
smooth. This is done by placing cement paste and spreading smoothly on the
whole area of the specimen.
These specimens are tested by compression testing machine after seven days
curing or 28 days curing. Load should be applied gradually at the rate of 140
kg/cm2 per minute till the Specimens fails. Load at the failure divided by area of
specimen gives the compressive strength of concrete.
After 7 days 70 % strength is attained by the concrete while after 28 days 99%
Strength is attained.

Slump Cone Test
Slump cone test is to determine the workability or consistency of concrete mix
prepared at the laboratory or the construction site during the progress of the
work. Concrete slump test is carried out from batch to batch to check the
uniform quality of concrete during construction. The slump test is the most
simple workability test for concrete, involves low cost and provides immediate
results. Due to this fact, it has been widely used for workability tests since 1922.
The slump is carried out as per procedures mentioned in IS: 1199 – 1959 in
India. Generally concrete slump value is used to find the workability, which
indicates water-cement ratio, but there are various factors including properties
of materials, mixing methods, dosage, admixtures etc. also affect the concrete
slump value.
The ideal slump value may vary from 75 mm to 110 mm
41. 41
Sieve Analysis
A sieve analysis is an analytical technique used to determine the particle
size distribution of a granular material with macroscopic granular sizes.
The sieve analysis technique involves several layers of sieves with different
grades of sieve opening sizes. It is done for both fine aggregate and coarse
aggregate. It is mentioned in IS 460-1962
During sieving the sample is subjected to horizontal or vertical movement
in accordance with the chosen method. This causes a relative movement
between the particles and the sieve; depending on their size the individual
particles either pass through the sieve mesh or are retained on the sieve
surface.
Procedure:
Step 1: Take a representative oven-dried sample that weighs approximately
500g.
Step 2: If particles are lumped or conglomerated, crush the lumps but not the
particles using the pestle and mortar.
Step 3: Determine the mass of sample accurately – Weight (g).
Step 4: Prepare a stack of test sieves. The sieves are stacked in order, with the
largest aperture size at the top, and the smallest at the bottom. A receiver is
placed under all of the sieves to collect samples.
Step 5: Weigh all the sieves and the pan separately.
Step 6: Pour the samples from step 3 into top of the stack of sieves and put the
lid on, place the stack in the sieve shaker and fix the clamps, adjust the timer
to between 10 and 15 minutes, and switch on the shaker.
Step 7: Stop the sieve shaker and measure the mass of each sieve and retained
soil/material.

9. FOUNDATION
Foundation is a structural part of a building on which a building stands.
Foundation transmits and distributes its own load and imposed loads to the soil in
such a way that the load bearing capacity of the foundation bed is not exceeded.
The solid ground on which the foundation rests, is called foundation bed.
Types of foundations:-
Shallow foundation Individual footing or isolated footing. Combined footing. Strip
foundation. Raft or mat foundation.
Deep Foundation Pile foundation. Drilled Shafts or caissons.
Here in this project, Raft foundation is being used.
RAFT FOUNDATION:
A raft foundation, also called a mat foundation, is essentially a continuous slab resting
on the soil that extends over the entire footprint of the building, thereby supporting the
building and transferring its weight to the ground. This reduces the stress on the soil.
The raft is spread in three depths that is 1200mm, 600mm, 750mm.
The reinforcements used in the raft are 25mm, 20mm, 16mm.
The mix design used for the casting of the raft foundation is M30
Clear Cover – 50mm
Cover Blocks and chair is provided to keep the bars in position. During casting the
concrete should be fully compacted by mechanical vibrator. Over compaction is
avoided as it causes segregation & bleeding. Compaction must be finished before
initial setting of concrete starts

12. CONCLUSION
As a civil Engineering student I got a golden opportunity to gain experience in this
Indian Oil State Office Building project. The methods and technical specifications
which I learnt at site will help me in every aspect of professionalism.
During the training period I have gained knowledge about how the work is executed
practically on site. I also learnt how to inspect every civil engineering components that
will help me in minimizing the errors in the future. I learnt how to connect the theoretical
knowledge of the subject to the practical applications.
During my training I focused on Statutory Approvals taken before commencement of
any project, the futuristic concept of green buildings and zero net buildings,
waterproofing, Quality controls, structural works and Safety measures to be followed
at site.
Although being an oil and energy sector organization, IOCL has huge base for civil
engineering which allowed me to enhance my skills.
I will take this experience forward throughout my life. Thank you.
