Good Quality practices
A. NABL Accredited Civil Quality lab setup at site. B. Access road work activities.
• NABL Accredited Civil quality lab set up • Coordinate marking checking, levelling of land for road
• Centralized quality lab to have better raw material and construction.
concrete strength test control obtained at site. • Subbase preparation and compaction.
• Instant material testing • Compaction FDD testing at every 250mtrs as per AE
• All lab apparatus are calibrated and calibration records QAP.
were maintained. • Road material raw material testing for quality control
and NABL lab reports maintained.
Good Quality practices
C. Trial mix for concrete. D. Raw material Collection for design mix and Concrete
batching plant
• Raw material tested in site lab again once received at site.
• Trial mix conducted for achieving best possible workability and • Raw material collection done from various sources available.
concrete strength in accordance with design mix. • Raw material tested at Third party lab for quality parameters.
• Verified third party test reports for every test performed at site. • Design mix created in a NABL accredited lab.
• All parameters measured during trial mix in line with design • Batching plant setup and Calibration activities successfully

• Temperature & workability of concrete checked at site
• Proper documentation maintained
Quality Issues
Micro pile Stickup height& embedment depth issue -
Micro piling work started without proper grading and after grading contour survey
1- As per contour survey grading is not being done.
2- Constant gradient not followed during grading.
3- Undulation in land surface observed after grading.
4- In order to cope up with grading problem during stub alignment team needs to adjust the stub height which is not within tolerances.
5- Heat map is not as per actual ground scenario, at site grading required in all the phases.
Quality Issues
Stickup elevation & Embedment depth tolerances As per approved drawing
Post type Post Max stickup Minimum stickup Maximum Embedment Minimum embedment
Z Post (yellow/ no color) upto 1530 mm upto 900mm upto 1263mm upto 633mm
Standard upto 267mm
Red upto1500 mm upto 950mm upto 1213mm upto 663mm upto 337mm
Dark Green Not installed at site
Damper & Center Post DARK Blue upto 1610mm upto 900mm upto 1363mm upto 1153mm upto 347mm
Black Not installed at site
• Maximum embedment depth will result in less required module to ground clearance during
tracker operation
• Minimum embedment depth will affect overall strength of the pile.
• Approx.9000-10000 Piles are affected due to this issue
Quality Issues
Micro pile Curing issue :
At site it is been observed that curing has not been done for the casted plies regularly
• Curing compound not applied over pile surface.
• Water curing is not being regularly done at several places after casting.
• As per approved SOP in case of water curing 5 days water curing to be done same is not being followed at site..
• At some places curing not done even a single time.
Quality Issues
Concrete sample cube mishandling issue.
At site it is been observed that concrete sample cubes were not handled properly .
• Initial curing not done for many concrete samples
• Nailing not done over the cube samples.
• Concrete cubes were not de-molded and were not placed in curing tanks for more than 24 hours
Quality Issues
Micro pile Caping issue.
At site it is been observed that Pile capping is not being done even after 7-15 days after pile casting.
Quality documentation for All batching plants pending due to less manpower dedicated for Civil
quality.
• Civil raw material testing reports, Cube compression reports uploading and hard copy submission
pending from past 15 days.
• Cement MTC, royalty, cement consumption document submission pending.
• Second and third design mix report submission pending.
• Road work Grading & grubbing documents uploading pending.
