2.18 Environment Management at Work Sites
Site visit conducted by Environmental Engineer of CSC on 14-05-2014 and reviewed the
measures taken by the Contractor for implementing the mitigation measures proposed
in the EMP. Instructions were given to avoid accumulation of debris along the project
site and to remove the debris from the site periodically. Regular sprinkling of water at
active work phase and maintenance of proper records of water sprinkling are to be
carried out.
As the measures adopted by the Contractor for implementing EMP is not satisfactory,
recommended for imposing penalty as per contract agreement. Accordingly RE has
imposed of penalty that is 10% of the interim payment certificate will be withheld from
next IPC as per sub clause 14.6 of part B specific provision.
World Bank Team including the Environmental Specialist visited the project site on 21st
May 2014 and reviewed the progress of implementation of EMP. World Bank Team
instructed the contractor for making the arrangement for solid waste disposal. They also
stressed the need for adequate waste collection bins and proper fencing to electrical
panel board with danger sign board at all major construction sites.
2.19 Traffic Management and Road Safety Measures
The Contractor has provided safety precautions such as flags, safety signboards, traffic
cones, blinkers and safety tapes at the work site. The Contractor is also required to
provide personal safety equipment to his workers such as jackets, safety shoes, face

The Contractor has provided safety precautions which was inadequate. Therefore RE has
imposed damages as per sub clause 17.2 of part B specific provision for various
locations.
2.20 Environmental Quality Monitoring

3.7 Potential Issues
•
Lack of experienced staff at site which reflected in planning of works at site, delay in
preparing Mix designs, delay in submission of working cross sections, in preparation
of survey data etc.
•
The shifting of utilities is slow. However Employer and the Contractors are
coordinating with various Service Providers like KSEB, KWA, BSNL and other
departments for utility shifting.
•
Contractor took more time for mobilization of resources which prevented them in
achieving the target as per their programme.
•
Even though buses and trucks were diverted through approved diversions as decided
in the various meeting convened by the District collector, Kannur the diversions for
movement of light local motor vehicles for isolating the work zone could not be solved
yet. One small pocket road identified, and with the consent of Railways light traffic
has been diverted for one way. Since the work area of ROB cannot be isolated by
closing the road after diverting the entire traffic through two way diversions as
mentioned above, the work of piling could not be preceded smoothly as expected and
the progress cannot be achieved as per the target. Hence the initiation for
closing project road (in the ROB Length) and commissioning another loop road is to
be urgently sorted out for the smooth progress of piling work of ROB@ Pappinisseri.
•
There is a proposal for the new additional parallel bridge at Ramapuram @KM 4+200,
the general drawing submitted by the contractor has been received and the soil
investigation work has been completed by the Contractor and investigation reports
submitted to CSC, and forwarded to the Team Leader office for taking up with the
Project Director.
•
Water utility shifting material has been directly supplied to the contractor. But the
items for shifting (Labour Rates) are not included in the contract BOQ. These items
are to be included as separate variation items for which variation proposal are to be
initiated and processed.
•
The contractor has started operation of the Crusher and Quarry with all permissions
and licenses in multiple shifts for increasing the production, however the local
residents have stopped the operation of Quarry and Crusher since 23rd June-2014
on account of their various allegations like pollution, damages to their houses due to
blasting and yet this problem could not be sorted out even though the District
Monthly Progress Report – July 2014 Page 23 Kerala State Transport Project - II
____________________________________________________________
Administration has agreed to provide all sorts of help to sort out this issue. After lots
of efforts by the contractor the Crusher and Quarry operation have been re-started
on 16th July 2014.
•
HT Line at ROB @Km. 19+950 (Pappinisseri) are to be relocated, since this Line and
Poles are fouling with pile rigs while pile boring, cage lowering and concreting works
of piles. The materials for shifting of these HT & LT lines were now received by the
contractor and shifting work commenced.
•
Poor cashflow of the contractor.

As per the original program, work has to be arranged under EPC mode. Alignment Plan
completed and the DPR preparation by M/s CDM Smith Associates is nearing
completion. Marking on boundary pillars is in progress and action is taken to publish
4(1) notification. Since delay is expected on land acquisition as per the new LA Act, for
which rules are yet to be framed, it has been decided to carryout improvement to this
road with in the available RoW so as to complete the works during the project period of
KSTP. Estimate is under preparation through KHRI. The works can be arranged after
the approval of restructuring proposal submitted to the Bank
13.1 New work
As the surface of the KSTP I roads which were completed about 6 to 8 years back are
likely to deteriorate after the rainy season, it has been planned to provide an overlay
renewal course in these road sections from the savings anticipated from the reduction of
scope of works for Package VIII (Perimbilavu – Perintalmanna road). Proposal has been
endorsed by the Steering Committee and World Bank has also agreed in principle to this
proposal. KHRI has been entrusted to prepare DPR for these works and will be put to
tender after obtaining approval to the restructuring proposal from DEA and Bank. The
road sections included are about 150 km and are as under
