BARRAGE At the location of barrage site, the river stretch is more or less in a straight alignment and adequate space

is available to accommodate the desilting chamber, intake arrangement, without much of excavation of the riverbank. The main river channel portion of the river is presently aligned to the right bank. Because the river section is wide at the barrage axis, depth of flow is less and manageable as far as construction of diversion works is concerned. Overall waterway of the barrage is about 199.5 m having 12 nos. of radial gates (including two gates for under sluices) and two sets of stop logs. The barrage will also have a roadway at the top, above the high flood level.

4.1.1 Drilling The barrage site has been explored by five boreholes, two at the left bank, two at the right bank and one at the mid-stream. The soil samples and rock cores recovered from these bore holes have been examined and logged geologically. The geological logs of the drill holes are enclosed in Annexure A. The logs showing SPT and other field test results are enclosed in Annexure B. The result of the permeability and Lugeon tests performed in the boreholes are presented in Annexure IE of Final Report of Geological and Geotechnical Investigations, February 2007, and is available with the Employer. The core Photographs are presented in Annexure IF, of Final Report of Geological and Geotechnical Investigations, Core Photographs, February 2007, and is available with the Employer. A brief description of the individual holes is given bellow. Drill Hole: DH-04-01 (Mid-Stream)

This drill hole is located along the axis of barrage at the mid stream of the river Dhauliganga. The hole has been drilled from EL. 2087.44m to the total depth of 62m (EL. 2025.44m). This hole has proved overburden consisting of boulders of gneisses in sandy matrix up to the termination depth. Clean sand was found from 9.7 to 34.5m depths. Bed rock was not found in this borehole. The SPT-N values are more than 50 for the full depth. The permeability values range from 46 to 93x10 -3 cm/sec for bouldery strata and 0.9 t0 6.6x10 -3 for sandy strata. Artesian condition prevailed at this location from 34.5m depths. Drill Hole: DH-04-02 (Left Bank) This borehole is located along the barrage axis, on the left bank of the river. This hole has been drilled from EL 2093.93m to a depth of 40m corresponding to El 2053.93m. In this hole overburden consisting of gneisses boulders in a silty sandy matrix has been encountered upto 7.3m (EL 2086.7m) underlain by bed rock. The bed rock consists of quartz mica gneisses continued up to the bottom of the hole at 40m depths corresponding to EL 2053.93m. The core recovery in the bed rock is generally high, varying from 50 to 100%. The rock is of poor quality with the RQD generally as 0% with occasional high values up to 63%. The SPT-N values in the overburden are more than 50 indicating very dense condition. The permeability values in the overburden range from 0.87 to 77x10 -3 cm/sec, lower values are for sandy strata and higher values are for bouldary strata. The lugeon values for the bed rock vary from 2.6 to 65.7 lit/min/m. Drill Hole: DH-04-03 (Right Bank) This borehole is located along the barrage axis on the right bank shoal of the river. This hole has been drilled from EL. 2134.22m to a total depth 45m (EL2089.22). The rock was encountered immediately after the sacrificial sandy soils of 0.7m thickness and continued up to the termination depth of 45m. However, there was no recovery of samples from 30.5 to 31.2m and 42.5 to 43.4m depths indicating the possibility of the presence of huge boulder or cavity. However, cavity is unlikely in this type of rock. The core recovery in the bed rock is generally high, varying from 54 to 100%. The rock is of poor to excellent quality with the RQD varying from 0% to 94%. The permeability in the overburden and lugeon values in rock range from 27 to 73x10 -3 cm/sec and 14.4 to 55.3 lit/min/m. Drill Hole DH-04-06 (10m from Right Bank) This vertical drill hole located about 10m from right bank at barrage axis. The hole has been drilled to a total depth of 63.50m from a ground elevation 2087.83m. The hole has proved overburden to a depth of 44.0m consisting of boulders of gneisses. A sand horizons from 11.0m to 42.0m has been encountered in the drill hole. Below this overburden the bed rock consists of Garnaitiferous Quartz Mica Gneisses up to the termination depth of the borehole. In the bed rock the core recovery varies from 20 to 98% with the RQD values ranging from 20 to 60%. The drill water loss in the overburden portion has been partial. The permeability values in the overburden and in the rock range from 0.3 to 40x10 - 3 cm/sec. Drill Hole DH-04-11 (At Barrage axis in plate load test trial pit) This vertical drill hole located in plate load test trial pit at left bank at barrage axis. The hole has been drilled to a total depth of 30.00m from a ground elevation 2089.10m. The hole has proved overburden to a depth of 21.5m consisting of boulders of gneisses and schistose quartzite. In the bed rock the core recovery varies from 70 to 98% with the RQD values ranging from 20 to 81%. The drill water loss in the overburden portion has been partial. The permeability values in the overburden and in the rock range from 123.23 to 254.92 x 10 -3 cm/sec. Detailed test results are presented in Annexure I E, of Final Report of Geological and Geotechnical Investigations, February 2007, and is available with the Employer.

4.1.2 Geophysical Studies In order to find the depth of overburden, its nature and depth of bed rock for deciding the level of foundation, geophysical studies were performed by CWPRS, Pune. The nature of studies include Seismic Refraction Survey along 14 (fourteen) seismic traverses and electrical resistivity surveys along two lines. The report showing the survey lines along with interpreted subsoil profile is presented in Annexure - IVA and IVB of Final Report of Geological and Geotechnical Investigations, February 2007, and is available with the Employer. 4.1.3 Plate Load Test Two plate load tests were performed along the barrage axis to determine the bearing capacity of the soils. The reports covering the details of the plate load test and interpretation for arriving at the bearing capacity of foundation material is furnished in AnnexureIIIA of Final Report of Geological and Geotechnical Investigations, February 2007, and is available with the Employer. 4.1.4 Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT) Four DCPT were performed in this area. However, due to bouldary deposits refusal was achieved at very shallow depths, with the termination depths ranging from 19 to 73cm below ground level. The results of the DCPT are enclosed as Annexure C. 4.1.5 Test for Liquefaction Liquefaction study has been carried out by IIT Roorkee, Department of Earthquake Engineering; at barrage site.Copy of report is furnished in Annexure-G.
