1. INTRODUCTION:

IIS L&T Consortium has been awarded Design and Construction of Special Bridges across
Narmada River as CT P-15B Package, located in JNPT to Vadodara Section of Phase 2 of the
Western Dedicated Freight Corridor.

The main scope of Package CTP-15B is Design and Construction of Special Steel Bridge across
Narmada River involving Bridge Structure, Approaches (of 200m Length from Abutments on Both
Sides) in formation in Embankments with 01 No. RUB, Guide Bunds and protection works. The
Length of the Proposed Narmada Steel Bridge is 1.4 Km. It is located in JNPT-Vadodara Section
of Western Dedicated Freight Corridor under Phase-2, including a box type RUB, which is a part of
Bridge Approach on North Side of Alignment (Bharuch Side).

material shall be indicated with different colour code.
Rolled steel shall be carefully unloaded and stacked separately.
All the cast no / heat no shall be recorded along with no of plates in register soon as the plates
received to work shop
Member Weather assembled prior to dispatch or not so assembled, shall bear an erection mark,
which will help to identify the member and its position in respect of the whole structure to facilitate
at site.
These erection marks shall be suitably incorporated in the shop detail and erection drawings.
Each member shall be maintained with proper camber marking to check final truss camber

4.2 Weld consumables:

Electrodes shall be conforms to IRS specification M-28.

The filler wire and flux combination for fully automatic submerged arc welding shall be conforms to
IRS specification M-39.
All consumables shall be with proper test certificate correlated with batch no and date of
manufacture.
All consumable shall be stored and handled with care and in accordance with manufacture
recommendations (IS: 9595).
Electrodes, filler wires and rods and fluxes that show signs of damage (cracked or flaked coating
on covered electrodes, rusty electrode wires and wires with damaged copper coatings) shall not
be used.

Electrodes shall be stored in their original packets in a dry and well ventilated, preferably under
heated conditions.
Electrodes stored area where relative humidity (RH) shall be less than external conditions
(preferred RH shall be approximately less than 50 percent).
The ideal storage temperate is about 10-15C above the ambient temperature. Where special
protection during storage or immediately prior to use is recommended by manufactures of
electrodes, they shall be treated in accordance with IS: 13851.
Wire electrodes shall be suitably packed to guard against damage, including that during
transportation.
Wire electrodes shall be kept in its original bundle in a dry store room.
Flux shall be packed and stored in a moisture resistance container in a dry store room.
Damaged electrodes, wires and flux shall be stored and stacked separately.

4.3 Paints:

All the paints shall be stored strictly in accordance with manufacture requirements laid down by the
paint manufactures.
The storage area shall be well ventilated and protected from sparks ,flame, direct exposure to
sunlight or excessive heat, preferably located in an isolated room or in separate building.
All paint containers shall be clearly labelled to show paint identification .date of manufacture, batch
number.
The container shall be opened only at the time of use, paints which have liveried, gelled during
storage, and shall not be used.
Paints for which the shelf life specified by the supplier has expired shall not be used with inspection
and approval by the engineer.

5. MARKING FOR IDENTIFICATION:

All Members and Sections Shall be appropriately marked with paint or grooved with their
identification numbers as detailed in the shop drawings.
Each fabricated member Weather assembled prior to dispatch or not so assembled, shall bear an
erection mark, which will help to identify the member and its position in respect of the whole
structure to facilitate at site.
These erection marks shall be suitably incorporated in the shop detail and erection drawings.
Each member shall be maintained with proper camber marking to check final truss camber
