ANNEX-A
Guidelines on Banning of Business Dealings
1.
Introduction
1.1
RITES, being a Public Sector Enterprise and ‘State’, within the meaning of Article 12
of Constitution of India, has to ensure preservation of rights enshrined in Chapter III of
the Constitution. RITES has also to safeguard its commercial interests. It is not in the
interest of RITES to deal with Agencies who commit deception, fraud or other
misconduct in the execution of contracts awarded / orders issued to them. In order to
ensure compliance with the constitutional mandate, it is incumbent on RITES to
observe principles of natural justice before banning the business dealings with any
Agency.
1.2
Since banning of business dealings involves civil consequences for an Agency
concerned, it is incumbent that adequate opportunity of hearing is provided and the
explanation, if tendered, is considered before passing any order in this regard keeping
in view the facts and circumstances of the case.
2.
Scope
2.1
The procedure of (i) Suspension and (ii) Banning of Business Dealing with Agencies,
has been laid down in these guidelines.
2.2
It is clarified that these guidelines do not deal with the decision of the Management not
to entertain any particular Agency due to its poor / inadequate performance or for any
other reason.
2.3
The banning shall be with prospective effect, i.e., future business dealings.
3.
Definitions
In these Guidelines, unless the context otherwise requires:
i)
`Bidder / Contractor / Supplier’ in the context of these guidelines is indicated as
‘Agency’.
ii)
‘Competent Authority’ and ‘Appellate Authority’ shall mean the following:
a)
The Director shall be the ‘Competent Authority’ for the purpose of these
guidelines. CMD, RITES shall be the ‘Appellate Authority’ in respect of such
cases.
b)
CMD, RITES shall have overall power to take suo-moto action on any
information available or received by him and pass such order(s) as he may think
appropriate, including modifying the order(s) passed by any authority under
these guidelines.
iii)
‘Investigating Department’ shall mean any Department, Division or Unit
investigating into the conduct of the Agency and shall include the Vigilance
Department, Central Bureau of Investigation, the State Police or any other
45
department set up by the Central or State Government having powers to
investigate.
4.
Initiation of Banning / Suspension:
Action for banning / suspension business dealings with any Agency should be initiated
by the department/ unit having business dealings with them after noticing the
irregularities or misconduct on their part.
5.
Suspension of Business Dealings
5.1
If the conduct of any Agency dealing with RITES is under investigation by any
department, the Competent Authority may consider whether the allegations under
investigation are of a serious nature and whether pending investigation, it would be
advisable to continue business dealing with the Agency. If the Competent Authority,
after consideration of the matter including the recommendation of the Investigating
Department/Unit, if any, decides that it would not be in the interest to continue
business dealings pending investigation, it may suspend business dealings with the
Agency. The order to this effect may indicate a brief of the charges under
investigation. The order of such suspension would operate for a period not more than
six months and may be communicated to the Agency as also to the Investigating
Department.
The Investigating Department/Unit may ensure that their investigation is completed
and whole process of final order is over within such period.
5.2
As far as possible, the existing contract(s) with the Agency may be continued unless
the Competent Authority, having regard to the circumstances of the case, decides
otherwise.
5.3
If the Agency concerned asks for detailed reasons of suspension, the Agency may be
informed that its conduct is under investigation. It is not necessary to enter into
correspondence or argument with the Agency at this stage.
5.4
It is not necessary to give any show-cause notice or personal hearing to the Agency
before issuing the order of suspension. However, if investigations are not complete in
six months time, the Competent Authority may extend the period of suspension by
another three months, during which period the investigations must be completed.
6.
Grounds on which Banning of Business Dealings can be initiated
6.1
If the security consideration, including questions of loyalty of the Agency to the State,
so warrants;
6.2

dealings with the Agency is called for, a show-cause notice may be issued to the
Agency as per paragraph 8.1 and an enquiry held accordingly.
8.
Show-cause Notice

called for, a show-cause notice has to be issued to the Agency. Statement containing
the imputation of misconduct or mis-behaviour may be appended to the show-cause

PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS FOR NS ITEMS
NSI – 1: Anti Termite
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 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.
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.
Safety Precautions
Chemical used for anti-termite treatment are insecticides with a persistent action and are
highly poisonous. This chemical can have an adverse effect upon health when absorbed
through the skin, inhaled as vapours or spray mists or swallowed.
The containers having emulsifiable concentrates shall be clearly labelled and kept securely
closed in stores so that children or pet cannot get at them. Storage and mixing of
concentrates shall not be done near any fire source or flame. Persons using these chemical
shall be warned that absorption though skin is the most likely source of accidental poisoning.
Particular care shall be taken to prevent skin contact with concentrates and prolonged
exposure to dilute emulsion shall also be avoided. After handling the concentrates or dilute
emulsion. Workers shall wash themselves with soap and water and wear clean clothing,
especially before eating. In the event of severe contamination, clothing shall be removed at
once and the skin washed with soap and water. If chemical has splashed into the eyes, they
shall be flushed with plenty of soap and water and immediate medical attention shall be
sought.
Care should be taken in the application of chemicals to see that they are not allowed to
contaminate wells or springs which serve as source of drinking water.

NSI – 15: PVC Sheet Flooring
General
PVC flooring material is normally used for covering floor from decorative point of view in
residential and non-residential buildings. This material gives a resilient and non-porous
surface which can be easily cleaned with a wet cloth as dust and grime do not penetrate the
surface. Since a burning cigarette will damage the neat surface of the PVC sheet, special
care should be taken to prevent burning cigarette stumps to come in contact with the PVC
flooring materials.
It shall be laid on a base that is finished even and smooth such as concrete, metal or timber
boarding. Unevenness or undulations in the base will show badly on the surface and are
liable to damage the PVC sheets/ tiles.
Materials
The PVC flooring material shall conform to IS: 3462. It may be in the form of tiles, sheets or
rolls as specified. It shall consist a thoroughly blended composition of thermoplastic binder,
filler and pigments. The thermoplastic binder shall consist substantially of one or both of the
following:
Vinyl chloride polymer
Vinyl chloride copolymer
Thickness
The preferred thickness of PVC tiles for normal floor covering shall be 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 or
4.0mm.
Thickness of PVC sheets shall be measured with micrometer of Ratechet type or a dial gauge
graduated to 0.02mm. The micrometer shall have flat bearing surfaces of at least 6.5mm
diameter at both contract points.
For sheets and rolls the thickness of the specimen shall be measured at twenty scattered
points.
For polystyrene wall tiles, the cavity depth of the test specimen shall be measured at five
points taken at random on the rear surface of each tile with a suitable depth gauge.
The width of flooring sheets and rolling in continuous length shall be 1000, 1500 and
2000mm. When supplied in rolls the length of the rolls shall not be less than 10 metre.
The measurement shall be carried out with a travelling microscope or suitable scale
graduated to 0.02mm. Each tile shall be measured for length and width at the three quarter
point in each direction.

Adhesive
Rubber based adhesives are suitable for fixing PVC flooring over concrete, wooden and metal
sub-floors. PVA based adhesives shall be used for concrete and wooden sub-floors. PVA
based adhesives are not suitable for metallic surfaces and also for locations where there is
constant spillage of water.
Preparation of Sub-Floors
Before laying PVC sheets/ tiles, it is essential to ensure that the base is thoroughly dry and
damp proof as evaporation of moisture cannot take place once the PVC flooring is laid.
Moisture slowly damages the adhesive resulting in PVC sheet/ tiles being separated from the
base and curled up. In case of new work a period of 4 to 8 weeks shall be allowed for drying
the sub-floor under normal conditions.
Concrete sub-floors on the ground floor shall be laid in two layers. The top of the lower layer
of concrete shall be painted with two coats of A-90 gard (conforming to IS:1580) applied at
the rate of 1.5 kg/ sqm. The top surface of the lower layer shall be finished smooth while
laying the concrete so that the bitumen can be applied uniformly. The bitumen shall be
applied after the concrete has set and is sufficiently hard. Bitumen felt conforming to IS:1322
shall be sand-wiched in the sub-floor laid in two layers.
In new concrete floor, the smooth finish required shall be produced by using cement slurry
spread on fresh concrete floor and finished smooth. If the concrete floor is old and surface not
even, the surface should be made smooth by first cleaning it free of all foreign material and
then a layer of cement mortar 1:2 (1 cement: 2 coarse sand) of average thickness of 6mm
shall be applied on the surface finishing the surface smooth. The finished surface shall be
cured for 7 days and then allowed to dry thoroughly.
Where it is expected that the dampness may find its way from the surrounding walls, the
same shall also be effectively damp-proofed upto atleast 150mm above the level of the subflor and the damp-proof treatment below the floor shall be extended over the walls.
Laying and Fixing
Prior to laying, the flooring tiles/ rolls/ sheets shall be brought to the temperature of the area in
which it is to be laid by stacking in a suitable manner within or near the laying area for a
period of about 24 hours.
Where air-conditioning is installed, the flooring shall not be laid on the sub-floor until the
conditioning units have been in operation for at least seven days. During this period the
temperature shall neither fall below 200C nor exceed 300C. These conditions shall be
maintained during laying and for 48 hours, thereafter.
Before commencing the laying operations, the sub-floor shall be examined for evenness and
dryness. The sub-floor shall then be cleaned with a dry cloth. The PVC flooring shall not be
laid on a sub-floor unless the sub-floor is perfectly dry.
92
The layout of the PVC flooring on the sub-floor to be covered should be marked with
guidelines. The PVC flooring shall be first laid for trial, without using the adhesive, according
to the required layout.
The adhesive shall be applied by using a notched trowel to the sub-floor and to the back side
of the PVC sheet or tile flooring. When set sufficiently for laying, the adhesive shall be sticky
to touch, but will not mark the fingers. In general, the adhesive will require about half an hour
for setting. It should not be left after setting for too long a period as the adhesive properties
will be lost owing to dust films and other causes.
Care should be taken while laying the flooring under high humidity conditions so that
condensation does not take place of the adhesive. It is preferable to avoid laying under high
humidity conditions.
The area of adhesive to be spread at one time on the sub-floor depends entirely upon local
circumstances. In case of a small room, adhesive may be spread over the entire area but
relatively small areas of tiles/ sheets flooring should be treated in a larger room.
When the adhesive is just tack free the PVC flooring sheet shall be carefully taken and placed
in position from one end onwards slowly so that the air will be completely squeezed out
between the sheet and the background surface. After laying the sheet in position, it shall be
pressed with suitable roller weighing about 5kg to develop proper contract with the sub-floor.
The next sheet with its back side applied with the adhesive shall be laid edge to edge with the
sheet already laid and fixed in exactly the same manner as the first sheet was fixed. The
sheets shall be laid edge to edge so that there is minimum gap between joints.
The alignment should be checked after laying of each row of sheet is completed. If the
alignment is not perfect, the sheets may be trimmed by using a straight edge.
The tiles shall be fixed in exactly the same manner as for the sheets. It is preferable to start
laying of the tiles from the centre of the area. Care should be taken that the tiles are laid close
to each other with minimum gap between joints. The tiles should always be lowered in
position and pressed firmly on to the adhesive. Care should be taken not to slide them as this
may result in adhesive being squeezed up between the joints. PVC tiles after laying shall be
rolled with a light wooden roller weighing about 5kg to ensure full contact with the under layer.
Any undulations noticed on the PVC surface shall be rectified by removing and relaying the
tiles after thorough cleaning of the underside of the affected tiles. The adhesives applied
earlier in such places shall be thoroughly removed by using proper solvents and the surface
shall be cleaned to remove the traces of solvents used. Work should be constantly checked
against guidelines in order to ensure that all the four edges of adjacent tiles meet accurately.
Any adhesive which may squeeze up between sheets or tiles should be wiped off immediately
with a wet cloth before the adhesive hardens. If, by chance, adhesive dries up and hardens
on the surface of the sheet or tile, it should be removed with a suitable solvent. A solution of
one part of commercial butyleacetate and three parts of turpentine oil is a suitable solvent for
the purpose.
A minimum period of 24 hours shall be given after laying the flooring for developing proper
bond of the adhesive. During this period, the flooring shall not be put to service. It is
preferable to lay the PVC flooring after completion of plastering, painting and other decorative
finish works so as to avoid any accidental damage to the flooring.
When the flooring has been securely fixed, it shall be cleaned with a wet cloth soaked in
warm soap solution (two spoons of soap in 5 litres of warm water).
Where the edges of the PVC sheets of tiles are exposed, as for example, in doorways and on
stair treads, it is important to provide protection against damage of flooring materials. Metallic
edge strips may be used and should be securely fastened to the sub-floor to protect edges of
the flooring.
93
Precaution for Maintenance
PVC flooring subject to normal usage may be kept clean by mopping with soap solution using
a clean damp cloth. Water shall not be poured on the PVC flooring for cleaning purpose as
the water may tend to seep through the joins and cause the adhesive to fail. To maintain a
good wearing surface a good appearance, the flooring may be periodically polished. When
polish is applied frequently, a thick layer builds up which collects dirt and dust and is tacky to
walk on.
If the traffic is light, the floor shall be given frequent brushing regular polishing by an
application of new polish every 4 to 6 weeks. Under moderate traffic conditions the floor shall
be given an occasional wash with a wet mop but no detergents shall be used so that the
polish is not removed.
Application of polish may be done every one to three weeks. PVC flooring should not be over
waxed. When this condition develops, the coatings should be cleared off with white spirit or
paraffin and a light even coat of polish applied. When the PVC flooring has been polished, it
will remain bright for a considerable period if dry mop is applied each day. It is this daily ‘dry
polish’ that maintains the glossy surface. After exceptionally heavy traffic PVC flooring should
be swept with a hair groom, rubbed with a mop or cloth frequently rinsed in clean water and
finally rubbed dry.
Measurements
Length and breadth shall be measured correct to a cm and its area shall be calculated in sqm
correct to two places of decimal. No deduction shall be made nor extra paid for voids not
exceeding 0.20 sqm. Deductions for ends of dissimilar materials or other articles embedded
shall not be made for areas not exceeding 0.10 sqm. Nothing extra shall be paid for providing
PVC flooring in borders and margins, irrespective of their width.
Rate
The rate shall include the cost of all materials and labor involved in all the operations
described above, except those described. The rate does not include the cost of sub-floor or
damp proof treatment, if any. It also does not include the cost of metallic edge strip to protect
edge of flooring, wherever provided, it shall be paid separately.

Substrate Preparation:
The subfloor must be sound, load-bearing, dry, free from cracks, clean and free from
materials (dirt, oil, grease) that would impair adhesion. Calcium sulphate-screeds must be
abraded and vacuumed as a chargeable service, either as a finishing treatment by the screed
installer, or as a special project by the installer of the floor covering. Test the subfloor in
accordance with applicable standards and notices and report any deficiencies. Brush, abrade,
grind or shot-blast to remove any weakly bonded or soft surface sections, e.g. separating
agents, loose residues of adhesives, leveling compounds, coverings or paints, etc.
Thoroughly vacuum to remove loose mate - rial and dust. Test well-bonded residues of
adhesives and levelling compounds to ensure they are waterproof. If not waterproof (water
test: adhesive bed dissolves with shortterm exposure to water) use the water- and solventfree 2-Component Epoxy Primer-Sealer Ardex. Always allow primers to dry thoroughly. Refer
to the Product Data Sheets for other products used.
Application:
Before use, allow containers to come to room temperature and shake well – then decant the
contents into a clean, oval applicator bucket.
Apply a full, even coat of the primer onto the subfloor using the Ardex fine-pored Foam Roller.
On very absorbent surfaces, do not pour onto the surface so as to avoid localised saturation;
if necessary, a second coat may be required.

NSI – 16: PVC Sheet Cladding
General
PVC flooring material is normally used for covering floor from decorative point of view in
residential and non-residential buildings. This material gives a resilient and non-porous
surface which can be easily cleaned with a wet cloth as dust and grime do not penetrate the
surface. Since a burning cigarette will damage the neat surface of the PVC sheet, special
care should be taken to prevent burning cigarette stumps to come in contact with the PVC
flooring materials.
It shall be laid on a base that is finished even and smooth such as concrete, metal or timber
boarding. Unevenness or undulations in the base will show badly on the surface and are
liable to damage the PVC sheets/ tiles.
Materials
The PVC flooring material shall conform to IS: 3462. It may be in the form of tiles, sheets or
rolls as specified. It shall consist a thoroughly blended composition of thermoplastic binder,
filler and pigments. The thermoplastic binder shall consist substantially of one or both of the
following:
Vinyl chloride polymer
Vinyl chloride copolymer
Thickness
The preferred thickness of PVC tiles for normal floor covering shall be 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 or
4.0mm.
Thickness of PVC sheets shall be measured with micrometer of Ratechet type or a dial gauge
graduated to 0.02mm. The micrometer shall have flat bearing surfaces of at least 6.5mm
diameter at both contract points.
For sheets and rolls the thickness of the specimen shall be measured at twenty scattered
points.
For polystyrene wall tiles, the cavity depth of the test specimen shall be measured at five
points taken at random on the rear surface of each tile with a suitable depth gauge.
The width of flooring sheets and rolling in continuous length shall be 1000, 1500 and
2000mm. When supplied in rolls the length of the rolls shall not be less than 10 metre.
The measurement shall be carried out with a travelling microscope or suitable scale
graduated to 0.02mm. Each tile shall be measured for length and width at the three quarter
point in each direction.

Adhesive
Rubber based adhesives are suitable for fixing PVC flooring over concrete, wooden and metal
sub-floors. PVA based adhesives shall be used for concrete and wooden sub-floors. PVA
based adhesives are not suitable for metallic surfaces and also for locations where there is
constant spillage of water.
Preparation of Sub-Floors
Before laying PVC sheets/ tiles, it is essential to ensure that the base is thoroughly dry and
damp proof as evaporation of moisture cannot take place once the PVC flooring is laid.
Moisture slowly damages the adhesive resulting in PVC sheet/ tiles being separated from the
base and curled up. In case of new work a period of 4 to 8 weeks shall be allowed for drying
the sub-floor under normal conditions.
Concrete sub-floors on the ground floor shall be laid in two layers. The top of the lower layer
of concrete shall be painted with two coats of A-90 gard (conforming to IS:1580) applied at
the rate of 1.5 kg/ sqm. The top surface of the lower layer shall be finished smooth while
laying the concrete so that the bitumen can be applied uniformly. The bitumen shall be
applied after the concrete has set and is sufficiently hard. Bitumen felt conforming to IS:1322
shall be sand-wiched in the sub-floor laid in two layers.
In new concrete floor, the smooth finish required shall be produced by using cement slurry
spread on fresh concrete floor and finished smooth. If the concrete floor is old and surface not
even, the surface should be made smooth by first cleaning it free of all foreign material and
then a layer of cement mortar 1:2 (1 cement: 2 coarse sand) of average thickness of 6mm
shall be applied on the surface finishing the surface smooth. The finished surface shall be
cured for 7 days and then allowed to dry thoroughly.
Where it is expected that the dampness may find its way from the surrounding walls, the
same shall also be effectively damp-proofed upto atleast 150mm above the level of the subflor and the damp-proof treatment below the floor shall be extended over the walls.
Laying and Fixing
Prior to laying, the flooring tiles/ rolls/ sheets shall be brought to the temperature of the area in
which it is to be laid by stacking in a suitable manner within or near the laying area for a
period of about 24 hours.
Where air-conditioning is installed, the flooring shall not be laid on the sub-floor until the
conditioning units have been in operation for at least seven days. During this period the
temperature shall neither fall below 200C nor exceed 300C. These conditions shall be
maintained during laying and for 48 hours, thereafter.
Before commencing the laying operations, the sub-floor shall be examined for evenness and
dryness. The sub-floor shall then be cleaned with a dry cloth. The PVC flooring shall not be
laid on a sub-floor unless the sub-floor is perfectly dry.
The layout of the PVC flooring on the sub-floor to be covered should be marked with
guidelines. The PVC flooring shall be first laid for trial, without using the adhesive, according
to the required layout.
The adhesive shall be applied by using a notched trowel to the sub-floor and to the back side
of the PVC sheet or tile flooring. When set sufficiently for laying, the adhesive shall be sticky
to touch, but will not mark the fingers. In general, the adhesive will require about half an hour
98
for setting. It should not be left after setting for too long a period as the adhesive properties
will be lost owing to dust films and other causes.
Care should be taken while laying the flooring under high humidity conditions so that
condensation does not take place of the adhesive. It is preferable to avoid laying under high
humidity conditions.
The area of adhesive to be spread at one time on the sub-floor depends entirely upon local
circumstances. In case of a small room, adhesive may be spread over the entire area but
relatively small areas of tiles/ sheets flooring should be treated in a larger room.
When the adhesive is just tack free the PVC flooring sheet shall be carefully taken and placed
in position from one end onwards slowly so that the air will be completely squeezed out
between the sheet and the background surface. After laying the sheet in position, it shall be
pressed with suitable roller weighing about 5kg to develop proper contract with the sub-floor.
The next sheet with its back side applied with the adhesive shall be laid edge to edge with the
sheet already laid and fixed in exactly the same manner as the first sheet was fixed. The
sheets shall be laid edge to edge so that there is minimum gap between joints.
The alignment should be checked after laying of each row of sheet is completed. If the
alignment is not perfect, the sheets may be trimmed by using a straight edge.
The tiles shall be fixed in exactly the same manner as for the sheets. It is preferable to start
laying of the tiles from the centre of the area. Care should be taken that the tiles are laid close
to each other with minimum gap between joints. The tiles should always be lowered in
position and pressed firmly on to the adhesive. Care should be taken not to slide them as this
may result in adhesive being squeezed up between the joints. PVC tiles after laying shall be
rolled with a light wooden roller weighing about 5kg to ensure full contact with the under layer.
Any undulations noticed on the PVC surface shall be rectified by removing and relaying the
tiles after thorough cleaning of the underside of the affected tiles. The adhesives applied
earlier in such places shall be thoroughly removed by using proper solvents and the surface
shall be cleaned to remove the traces of solvents used. Work should be constantly checked
against guidelines in order to ensure that all the four edges of adjacent tiles meet accurately.
Any adhesive which may squeeze up between sheets or tiles should be wiped off immediately
with a wet cloth before the adhesive hardens. If, by chance, adhesive dries up and hardens
on the surface of the sheet or tile, it should be removed with a suitable solvent. A solution of
one part of commercial butyleacetate and three parts of turpentine oil is a suitable solvent for
the purpose.
A minimum period of 24 hours shall be given after laying the flooring for developing proper
bond of the adhesive. During this period, the flooring shall not be put to service. It is
preferable to lay the PVC flooring after completion of plastering, painting and other decorative
finish works so as to avoid any accidental damage to the flooring.
When the flooring has been securely fixed, it shall be cleaned with a wet cloth soaked in
warm soap solution (two spoons of soap in 5 litres of warm water).
Where the edges of the PVC sheets of tiles are exposed, as for example, in doorways and on
stair treads, it is important to provide protection against damage of flooring materials. Metallic
edge strips may be used and should be securely fastened to the sub-floor to protect edges of
the flooring.
Precaution for Maintenance
PVC flooring subject to normal usage may be kept clean by mopping with soap solution using
a clean damp cloth. Water shall not be poured on the PVC flooring for cleaning purpose as
the water may tend to seep through the joins and cause the adhesive to fail. To maintain a
good wearing surface a good appearance, the flooring may be periodically polished. When
polish is applied frequently, a thick layer builds up which collects dirt and dust and is tacky to
walk on.
99
If the traffic is light, the floor shall be given frequent brushing regular polishing by an
application of new polish every 4 to 6 weeks. Under moderate traffic conditions the floor shall
be given an occasional wash with a wet mop but no detergents shall be used so that the
polish is not removed.
Application of polish may be done every one to three weeks. PVC flooring should not be over
waxed. When this condition develops, the coatings should be cleared off with white spirit or
paraffin and a light even coat of polish applied. When the PVC flooring has been polished, it
will remain bright for a considerable period if dry mop is applied each day. It is this daily ‘dry
polish’ that maintains the glossy surface. After exceptionally heavy traffic PVC flooring should
be swept with a hair groom, rubbed with a mop or cloth frequently rinsed in clean water and
finally rubbed dry.

Section 1 – Landscape planning and design, Subsection 4 – Protection of
landscape during construction)
This should be done from areas likely to be disturbed by construction activities
(especially in cases where the site area is larger than 10 000 m2), topsoil should
be stripped to a depth of 20 cm from the areas proposed for buildings, roads,
paved areas, and external services.
It should be stockpiled to a height of 40 cm in designated areas and reapplied
during plantation of the proposed vegetation. The topsoil should be separated from
the subsoil debris and stones larger than 50 mm in diameter.
The adjoining areas shall be barricaded to prevent construction activities
damaging the surrounding areas.

Sedimentation basin
Sedimentation basin, a temporary dam or basin at the lowest convenient point of
the site should be constructed for collecting, trapping, and storing sediment
produced by the construction activities.
A flow-detention facility must also be constructed for reducing peak run-off rates.
This would allow most of the sediments to settle before the run-off is directed
towards the outfall.
Contour trenching
Contour trenching is an earth embankment or ridge-and-channel arrangement
constructed parallel to the contours, along the face of the slope, at regular
intervals on the lengths and slopes greater than 10% (1:10).
They are used for reducing run-off velocity, increasing the distance of overland
run-off flow. They are also used to hold moisture and minimize sediment loading of
surface run-off.
Mulching
Mulch is a protective layer of material that is spread on the top of the soil, which
can either be organic (such as grass clippings, straw, bark chips, and similar
materials) or inorganic, (such as stones and brick chips).
Mulching should be used with seedings and plantings on steep slopes
(slopes>33%). Steep slopes are prone to heavy erosion and, therefore, netting or
anchoring should be used to hold it in place.
Topsoil improvement
Topsoil needs to be tested before preservation to ensure that it is worth
preserving, and will help conserve resources and money in the long run.
104
1.5.2
The soil should be tested at a laboratory accredited by the Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) for primary plant nutrient and pH. In case the soil
test conducted yields a result that is not up to the requisite standard, then
adequate measures need to be adopted to ensure that the fertility of the soil is
restored to a usable level as per the direction of Engineer-In-Charge.
1.6
Preservation of existing Trees and preventing damage to the same During
Construction
During construction, protection of existing vegetation (including trees, shrubs,
grasses and other plants) where possible, by preventing disturbance or damage to
specified areas is recommended. This practice minimizes the amount of bare soil
exposed to erosive forces.
Trees retained on the project site shall be protected during the construction period

Site preparation
Clear vegetation only from the areas where work will start right away
Vegetate / mulch areas where vehicles don’t ply. Mulch is a protective layer of material
that is spread on the top of the soil, which can either be organic (such as grass
clippings, straw, bark chips, and similar materials) or inorganic, (such as stones and
brick chips). Mulching should be used with seedings and plantings on steep slopes
(slopes>33%). Steep slopes are prone to heavy erosion and, therefore, netting or
anchoring should be used to hold it in place.
Apply gravel to the area where mulching/paving is impractical
Identify roads on site that would be used for vehicular traffic. Add surface gravel to
reduce source of dust emission
Limit vehicular speed on site to 10 km/hour
Existing Site Features
Conserve existing natural areas or existing natural features on site such as water
bodies, trees etc to integrate in the design and to provide habitat and promote
biodiversity
Carry out a comprehensive site analysis to identify site characteristics that can be
used to harness natural resources (like solar energy, wind, and water) and the
potential qualities of the landforms that could contribute to making different areas of
the site visually and thermally more comfortable for users. Locate various activities of
the scheme after careful site analysis and assessment so as to protect ecologically
sensitive areas and reduce damage to the natural ecosystem
IV. A. Preserve and protect existing vegetation on site
• Inventory of existing vegetation including the number of trees and native shrub
coverage and their species types. This has to be done before any construction activity
starts on site
• Preserve existing mature trees on‐site during the course of construction by preserving
and transplanting them. Preservation and protection of existing vegetation by
non‐disturbance or damage to specified site areas is recommended. Site vegetation
includes trees, shrubs, grasses and other plants. Where ever possible, existing site
vegetation has to be included in the landscape design of the site. This practice
enables retention of fully‐grown mature trees and also reduces avoidable erosion of
bare soil
• The contractor shall undertake the responsibility to ensure that the site is not ‘levelled’
or ‘cleared’ before undertaking this study
• Site plan, with photographs, clearly highlighting the trees and native shrub coverage
that is protected, transplanted or removed has to be recorded or maintained by the
