Inspection Report
May- 2014
Section- 1
M/s McNally Bharat Engineering Company Ltd. has withdrawn and
moved out
all the available resources in section-I. Presently no work is found in progress in
section-I.M/S OSEPL and NHAI may take necessary action so that working season
can be availed for execution of maximum works.
Section- 2
1. EPC for Section-2 is now attending the maintenance of the existing road for the
stretch km 201+900 to km 239+000. They are likely to complete the maintenance
of the existing road from Kalta to Lohunipada by end of May 2014.
2. Work on the Koida bypass has been again taken up and excavation for P1,P2 piers
and A2 abutment foundations of a major bridge on Koida bypass is in progress.
Also setting up new camp on Koida bypass is in progress.
3. Maximum resources are found concentrated in the stretch km 239+000 to km
259+453 to achieve the laid down targets and now another camp near Kairo Nallah
at village Kusumudi is being established so that construction of Kairo bridge and
Koida Bypass works can be taken up.
4. Kerbs casted for the median have now been provided with saw cuts at every 5 mtrs.
5. Filling material in the median has now improved.
6. EPC is having only one Bitumen pressure distributor. They should have two
bitumen pressure distributors, i.e. one for the slow setting emulsion for the prime
coat and the other for the rapid setting or medium setting emulsions for the tack
coat. EPC should do the needful now.
7. EPC should make one asphalt cutter available for making proper jointing for
starting the daily work.
8. Quite longer lengths of WMM have been found completed on ground. The same
should be covered with the next layer of DBM otherwise finished WMM surface
may develop deformations.EPC should take immediate action to cover the finished
WMM surface with the DBM layer.
9. All WMM work must be executed through a WMM paver with sensor device.
Laying WMM with motor grader will not be accepted.
10. EPC has now started procuring VG-30 from M/s HPCL.
11. All the joints in the DBM surface have not been prepared properly .There are big
undulations created at the joints. Necessary corrections may be carried out now.
12. The desired quantity of water was not being used for the earthwork. This was
shown to the rep of the EPC and advised to improve the quality of earthwork.
13. Filter layer was now provided while filling behind the culvert walls.
14. Both avenues are full with surplus soil. The rep of the EPC was advised to either
remove this surplus soil or level the same within the ROW area which will permit
easy drainage of the area.
15. Filling behind Minor Bridge is now taken up after giving the layout of the
construction area. Toe walls for the quadrant portions should be completed and
filling in the quadrant portions should also be taken up simultaneously.
16. Quality of concrete is now improving.
17. EPC has now made available one concrete pump for placing the concrete at
different levels.
18. Rep of the EPC was advised for taking up the development of Major Junction with
NH-143 also since Lahunipada bypass is likely to be completed shortly.
19. Lab establishment is completed and procured all apparatus.
