2.2.1.1 Storm water drains:Conservation of water resource is most important aspect of the project duringconstruction and occupation phases. Storm water drainage planning, domestic waterplanning and sewerage transfer and sewage treatment planning are critical aspects ofconstruction and occupation stages.

Storm water drains will be provided all over the site to meet the expected increase inthe runoff during rainy seasons due to the impervious nature of the roads and otherpaved areas. The site is uneven and it is proposed to maintain the levels as much aspossible, hence 2 numbers of storm water let outs from the site are anticipated. Theexpected runoff is calculated for the design of the storm water runoff and presented infollowing table.

Calculation for Storm Water DrainQuantity of storm water

The roof waters are channeled through storm water drains which are connected withwater harvesting pits. Storm water from the roof tops will be directed to intermediaterainwater harvesting pits (73 Nos. ) to be provided (as per HMDA norms) at a rate of 1each at a distance of 50m, which in turn will be directed to 3 Nos. bigger rainwaterharvesting structures at the corner of the plot area. Typical drawings of intermediaterainwater harvesting pits is presented in Figure 2.3

2.2.1.2 Water Availability:Water is required for the construction as well as during occupation stage as the same isan important resource. The water requirement during construction is in the order of100 cum/day with a peak demand of 200 cum/day, and during occupation stage in theorder of 477.0 KLD. The water resource available with the Municipal authorities wasstudied to identify the source and feasibility. The water resource both domestic waterand sewage is dealt by the Hyderabad Metropolitan water supply and Sewerage Board(HMWSSB) in the HMDA area. The HMWSSB has been maintaining the water supplyresources for Hyderabad along with the treatment of wastewater. The resourcesavailable with the HMWSSB are presented in table 2.4.

It may be noted that the following water supply projects i.e., Krishna Phase III (Part II)with 45 MGD capacity and Godavari phase – I with 172 MGD capacity is anticipated tobe operational during 2015 and 2016 respectively. It may also be noted that thedependability of Osman sagar and Himiyath sagar is reduced to approximately 60%. 45MGD supply is available.

Domestic Water: It is proposed to draw domestic water from the HyderabadMetropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) to mitigate the drinkingwater demand, which has been encouraging bulk consumers. The water shortage if anyduring summer season will be drawn from ground water sources. During theconstruction stage, water will be sourced primarily through tankers that would bearranged by the contractor or bulk supplies from HMWS&SB. During the projectoperational stage the water demand shall be sourced bulk supplies from HMWS&SB.The water requirement of the project during occupation stage is in the order of 477.0KLD.The water requirement for the project during the occupation stage is presented in table2.6. The water savings for the project is presented in table 2.7.

Design StageThe total number of people anticipated to stay in the project is in the range of 5000 –6000. The anticipated solid waste/garbage is in the range of 500 g/head for residential& 300 g/head for IT office, Amenities and the total garbage will be in the order of 1984kg/day. The present practice is to collect the garbage using the services of NGO’s andsend it to the segregation point by cycle-rickshaws. The biodegradable garbage aftersegregation is composted at the segregation point and the remaining waste is sent tothe landfill. The landfill site is yet to obtain clearance under Municipal solid waste rulesof MoE&F, GOI. The table 2.11 presents the anticipated garbage quantity afteroccupation. The responsibility of garbage collection and disposal lies with the MunicipalCorporation of Hyderabad, however the project authorities propose to educate theresidents to segregate the waste at source before disposal.

5.1 PROJECT DETAILSThe project is envisaged to develop 10.65 hectares of land in Plot No. 27A, Survey No.124 (part) Old united tractors IDA Nacharam, Secunderabad, into Residentialapartment, Commercial IT blocks & R & D for ITES as per ICT Policy ( Residential 40%area = 4.03 hectares & Commercial IT 60% = 6.04 hectares) for various socio economicsectors. The project would cater to various market demands and needs of the people.The project site is surrounded by 12 m wide existing road in the northwest directionconnecting Nacharam and Mallapur and 12 m wide existing road in southeast directionconnecting nacharam & chilakanagar. Birla RMC plant in south west direction andTexport Syndicate India Pvt. Ltd in northeast direction. The nearest railway station isMoulali at a distance of 2 km.

5.2 MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE EISAn EIS was conducted and the major findings of the EIS study are presented below

5.3 Environmental ImpactsImpact on Physical ResourcesConstruction of proposed project requires huge quantities of natural resources likesand, sub grade and aggregate, and materials produced from natural resources likebricks, cement and steel. The material shall be drawn from local sources, and the leaddistances range from 1 – 250 km. The impacts on physical resources of sand will beirreversible while bricks will be brought from kilns which use Coal ash. The materialrequirement of steel, cement etc. will be purchased from manufacturers with in state.Hence, no major impacts on physical resources as regards the availability andprocurement of construction material are anticipated due to the project.

Impacts on Air QualityImpacts on air quality during construction stage are likely to be due to operation ofconstruction yards, material transport on trucks and fugitive emissions from theconstruction sites. The model results for occupation stage show slight increase in theair quality and in worst concentrations are falling within the site, and the results arewith in the prescribed limits. Mitigation measures required for offsetting the air qualityimpacts are presented in the table 5.1 Environment Management and Action Plan.

Impacts on Noise QualityImpacts on noise quality during construction stage will be significant. Hence theconstruction near the habitation is proposed only during daytime. The impacts duringoccupation stage will be on the plots near to the main entrance. Construction workers



will be provided with protection equipment to guard against the noise impacts. Noisemitigating measures will be suggested for construction equipment and DG sets.

Impact on FloraThe project site and its surroundings do not form a habitat to any endangered flora.There are no trees within the project site due to anthropogenic pressures. The projectwill enhance the aesthetics of the site due to the provision of avenue plantation andcentral greening. This would ensure minimum impact on flora.

Impact on FaunaAs there are no endangered species of wild life in and around the project site, it is likelyto have minimal impact. The avifauna will find abode on the trees proposed to beplanted. This would enhance the aesthetics of the area. Pet animal faeces should notenter the storm water drains.

Impact on Land useThere is no land acquisition for this project. The land use of the site fallow land andclassified as residential and commercial by GHMC. However the topography of theland being rocky plains involves cut and fill operation where there is an excess of cut of37200 m3. Erosion and sedimentation are impacts anticipated during construction.Mitigation measures shall be adopted to avoid the same. The area development wouldincrease the housing activity in the surroundings, which is a positive impact, as barrenlands will be used for productive usage, and the negative impacts will be pressure onthe infrastructure facilities.

Impact on Surface Water ResourcesThe degradation of water quality can occur during construction phase from increasedsediment load into watercourses near the construction site. Suitable mitigationmeasures proposed, as part of the EMP will ensure that the residual impacts areminimal. Storm water runoff would increase due to the increase in impervioussurface, and rainwater harvesting structures will be provided as mitigation measure.The design of the storm water drain will consider the additional runoff. The urbanstorm water joining the storm water drains may carry pollutants from impervioussurfaces.

Impact on Ground Water ResourcesGround water shall be drawn during construction, and will be used to augment themunicipal supply during non-monsoon season if necessary. Exploitation of groundwater will have an impact and the same shall be restricted to ensure resourceconservation. This impact will be marginal, as the ground water will not be drawncontinuously.

Impact on InfrastructureThe infrastructure of communication available at present is saturated; the proposal tolay new connectors between HMDA, GHMC will reduce the congestion. Thedevelopment in combination with this project activity will have marginal impact. TheMMTS service is under utilized at present and the project will have positive impact onthe capacity utilization of MMTS. The additional requirement of power would increase



the pressure on the electrical infrastructure and requires additional power generationin the overall context.

Impact on Human Use ValuesThe dominant land use in the area is residential, and expected commercial space willincrease the pressure on the residential localities. There is no additional requirementand or acquisition of land. The provision of public lung space in the project and othercommunity facilities will reduce the additional transport required availing the facilities.The project authorities will provide road safety measures to reduce risk of accidents inthe internal roads. The impact on Human use values is marginal.

5.4 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT MEASURES PROPOSEDA description of the various management measures during the various stages of theproject is provided in the following sections.

5.4.1 Pre-construction stageDuring the design and preconstruction stage the management proposes to comply withthe regulations of town planning, explore the availability of sufficient resources, provideplantation and sink bore wells after obtaining the necessary permission.

5.4.2 Construction stageThis will be the most crucial and active stage for the Environment Management Plan. Inaddition to the monitoring of the construction activity itself to the pollution levelswithin permissible limits, mitigation and enhancement measures for water resourceswill go on simultaneously as the construction progresses. To facilitate implementationof the enhancement and mitigation measures suggested working drawings of the samewould be prepared after completion of detailed project report. In addition, the needfor a balanced evaluation and planning for risks associated with construction activitiesrelated to housing and commercial project will be part of the Supervising Contractorsresponsibility.

The resource conservation by way of identification of materials and construction debrisrecycle/disposal will be formulated by the supervising consultants. The responsibility ofenvironment management plan lies with the project authorities that would implementthe plan in consultation with other consultants, by including appropriate provisions inthe contract/sub contract documents and providing the necessary facilities.

5.4.3 Operation stageThe environment management plan will be implemented by ownersassociations/societies, where project authorities are co-opted as members, and whilethe management plan related to the utilities like roads, street lighting and commonopen spaces lies with the Serilingampally Municipality. The management in operationstage will essentially entail maintenance of sewage treatment plant, maintenance ofutilities, and monitoring activity in the project site. Monitoring for pollutants specifiedin the Monitoring Plan will serve the two purposes. In addition to checking the efficacyof the protection/mitigation/enhancement measures implemented, this will help verifyor refute the predictions made as a part of the impact assessment. Thus, it willcomplete a very important feedback loop for the project.

In the pre-construction phase of the project the supervision consultants shallreview the EMP to identify environmental and social issues and arrive at a suitablestrategy for implementation. The activities to be carried out and the target dates will beworked out after completion of detailed designs.

5.6 INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENINGThe management of M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. will evaluate theorganizational structure with respect to inadequacies in implementing the environmentmanagement plans. The housing project is typical as the responsibility of managementlies with the owners/residents during occupation stage. The owners form acooperative society/association to manage the utilities and common areas in a normalcase. The M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. will have little role to play inenvironment management. Hence it is suggested to explore the possibility of co-optinga member from M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. into these societies soas the spirit of environment management plan is not lost. The common areas,electrical supply, street lighting, open space of central green will be taken over andmanaged by the Municipality and TRANSCO. The role of residents is limited to beingstakeholders with little say in the day-to-day matters; the town planning agencies andthe government must address this issue.

The Environment Management Plan envisages on-site monitoring of constructionactivities for environmental pollution and will involve collection of samples and theirsubsequent analysis. For this purpose two chemists would be required especially whenthe implementation of the two phases goes on simultaneously. Induction of two moreassistant engineers, one each for the biophysical and social environment will also benecessary.

5.7 TRAININGThe existing supervising staff and the additional staff have to be trained to effectivelycarry out.

Co-ordinate, with supervision consultants and contractors on compliancemonitoring of mitigation measures during construction phase.

Monitoring of environmental components in the operation stage; Co-ordinate with concerned departments on environmental issues; Environmental impact studies for future housing projects; Liase with State and Government of India on fiscal policies to reduce environmental

pollution from housing activity.



5.8 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING5.8.1 IntroductionThe environmental monitoring programme provides such information on whichmanagement decision may be taken during construction and occupation phases. Itprovides basis for evaluating the efficiency of mitigation and enhancement measuresand suggest further actions that need to be taken to achieve the desired effect.

The monitoring includes:(i) Visual observations;(ii) Selection of environmental parameters at specific locations;(iii) Sampling and regular testing of these parameters.

5.8.2 ObjectivesThe objectives of the environmental monitoring programme are: Evaluation of the efficiency of mitigation and enhancement measures; Updating of the actions and impacts of baseline data; Adoption of additional mitigation measures if the present measures are insufficient; Generating the data, which may be incorporated in environmental management

plan in future projects.

5.8.3 MethodologyMonitoring methodology covers the following key aspects: Components to be monitored; Parameters for monitoring of the above components; Monitoring frequency; Monitoring standards; Responsibilities for monitoring; Direct responsibility, Overall responsibility; Monitoring costs.

Environmental monitoring of the parameters involved and the threshold limits specifiedare discussed below.

5.8.4 Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) MonitoringAmbient air quality parameters recommended for road transportation developmentsare Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Oxidesof Nitrogen (NOX), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Lead (Pb). These are to be monitored atdesignated locations starting from the commencement of construction activity. Datashould be generated over three days at all identified locations in accordance to theNational Ambient Air Quality Standards (table 5.2) location, duration and the pollutionparameters to be monitored and the responsible institutional arrangements aredetailed out in the Environmental Monitoring Plan.

5.9 REPORTING SYSTEMReporting system provides the necessary feedback for project management to ensurequality of the works and that the program is on schedule. The rationale for a reportingsystem is based on accountability to ensure that the measures proposed as part of theEnvironment Management Plan get implemented in the project.

The reporting system will operate linearly with the contractor who is at the lowest rungof the implementation system reporting to the Supervision Consultant, who in turn shallreport to the M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. All reporting by thecontractor and Supervision Consultant shall be on a quarterly basis. The M/s ParadigmLogistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. shall be responsible for preparing targets for each ofthe identified EMAP activities. All subsequent reporting by the contractor shall bemonitored as per these targets set by the M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd.before the contractors move on to the site. The reporting by the Contractor will be amonthly report like report of progress on construction and will form the basis formonitoring by the M/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. either by its ownEnvironmental Cell or the Environmental Specialist hired by the Supervision Consultant.

Monitoring of facilities at construction camps Monitoring of air, noise, soil and water parameters including silt load Monitoring of survival rate of plantation. Monitoring of cleaning of drains and water bodies.



5.10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BUDGETThe environmental budget for the various environmental management measuresproposed in the EMP is detailed in table 5.6. There are several other environmentalissues that have been addressed as part of good engineering practices, the costs forwhich has been accounted for in the Engineering Costs.

It would generate local employment if the plantation, upkeep and maintenance ofthe green belt is entrusted to local VSS bodies. Detailed drawings and designs oflandscaping will be drawn after completion of the detailed designing. The followingprecautions must be taken while undertaking horticulture and landscaping works. TheM/s Paradigm Logistics & distribution Pvt. Ltd. Project will have greenery by way ofavenue plantation and central green. The scheme of plantation and the figures arepresented in mitigation chapter. The upkeep and the management of the greening arepresented as follows;



(b) MaterialsPlant MaterialsPlant Materials shall be well formed and shaped true to type, and free from disease,insects and defects such as knots, sun-scaled, windburn, injuries, abrasion ordisfigurement.

All plant materials shall be healthy, sound, vigorous, free from plant diseases, insect’spests, of their eggs, and shall have healthy, well-developed root systems. All plants shallbe hardy under climatic conditions similar to those in the locally of the project. Plantssupplied shall to confirm to the names listed on both the plan and the plant list. Noplant material will be accepted if branches are damaged or broken. All material must beprotected from the sun and weather until planted.

Any nursery stock shall have been inspected and approved by the EnvironmentalSpecialist or the Engineer.

All plants shall conform to the requirements specified in the plant list. Except thatplants larger then specified may be used if approved, but use of such plants shall notincrease the contract price. If the use of the larger plant is approved, the spread of rootor ball of earth shall be increased in proportion to the size of plant.

Deliver plants with legible identification labels.

Top Soil (Good Earth)Topsoil or good earth shall be a friable loam, typical of cultivated topsoils of the localitycontaining at least 2% of decayed organic matter (humus). It shall be taken from a well-drained arable site. It shall be free of subsoil, stones, earth skids, sticks, roots or anyother objectionable extraneous matter or debris. It shall contain no toxic material. Notopsoil shall be delivered in a muddy condition. It shall have pH value ranging between6 and 8.5.

FertilizerMeasurement of sludge shall be in stacks, with 8% reduction for payment. It shall befree from extraneous matter, harmful bacteria insects or chemicals. (Subjected tosafety norms)

Root SystemThe root system shall be conducive to successful transplantation. While necessary, theroot-ball shall be preserved by support with Hessian or other suitable material. On soilswhere retention of a good ball is not possible, the roots should be suitably protected insuch a way that the roots are not damaged.

ConditionTrees and shrubs shall be substantially free from pests and diseases, and shall bematerially undamaged. Torn or lacerated roots shall be pruned before dispatch. Noroots shall be subjected to adverse conditions such as prolonged exposure to dryingwinds or subjection to water logging between lifting and delivery.



(c) Supply and SubstitutionUpon submission of evidence that certain materials including plant materials are notavailable at time of contract, the contractor shall be permitted to substitute with anequitable adjustment of price. All substitutions shall be of the nearest equivalentspecies and variety to the original specified and shall be subjected to the approval ofthe Landscape Architect.

(d) PackagingPackaging shall be adequate for the protection of the plants and such as to avoidheating or drying out.(e) MarkingEach specimen of tree and shrub, or each bundle, shall be legibly labelled with thefollowing particulars: Its name. The name of the supplier, unless otherwise agreed. The date of dispatch from the nursery.

(f) Tree PlantingPlants and ShrubsTrees should be supplied with adequate protection as approved. After delivery, ifplanting is not to be carried out immediately, balled plants should be placed back toback and the ball covered with sand to prevent drying out. Bare rooted plants can beheeled in by placing the roots in prepared trench and covering them with earth, whichshould be watered into, avoid air pockets round the roots. Trees and shrubs shall beplanted as shown in architectural drawings and with approval of site supervisionengineer.

Digging of PitsTree pits shall be dug a minimum of three weeks prior to backfilling. The pits shall be120 cm in diameter and 120 cm deep. While digging the pits, the topsoil up to a depthof 30 cm may be kept aside, if found good (depending upon site conditions), and mixedwith the rest of the soil.

If the side of the below, it shall be replaced with the soil mixture as specified furtherherein. If the soil is normal it shall be mixed with manure; river sand shall be added tothe soil if it is heavy. The bottom of the pit shall be forked to break up the subsoil.

Back FillingThe soil back filled watered through and gently pressed down, a day previous toplanting, to make sure that it may not further settle down after planting. The soil shallbe pressed down firmly by treading it down, leaving a shallow depression all rounds forwatering.

PlantingNo tree pits shall be dug until final tree position has been pegged out for approval. Careshall be taken that the plant sapling when planted is not be buried deeper than in thenursery, or in the pot. Planting should not be carried out in waterlogged soil. Plant



trees at the original soil depth; soil marks on the stem is an indication of this and shouldbe maintained on the finished level, allowing for setting of the soil after planting. Allplastic and other imperishable containers should be removed before planting. Anybroken or damage roots should be cut back to sound growth.

The bottom of the planting pit should be covered with 50mm to 75mm of soil. Bareroots should be spread evenly in the planting pit; and small mound in the centre of thepits on which the roots are placed will aid on even spread. Soil should be placed aroundthe roots, gently shaking the tree to allow the soil particles to shift into the root systemto ensure close contact with all roots and prevent air pockets. Back fill soil should befirmed as filling proceeds, layer by layer, care being taken to avoid damaging the roots,as follows:

The balance earth shall be filled in a mixture of 1:3 (1 part sludge to 3 part earth byvolume) with 50 gm potash, (Mop) 50gms of Super Phosphate and 1Kg. Neem oil cake.Aldrin or equivalent shall be applied every 15 days in a mixture of 5ml in 5 litres ofwater.

StakingNewly planted trees must be held firmly although not rigidly by staking to prevent apocket forming around the stem and newly formed fibrous roots being broken bymechanical pulling as the tree rocks.

Methods:The main methods of staking shall be:(a) A single vertical shake, 900mm longer than the clear stem of the tree, driven 600mm

to 900mm into the soil.(b) Two stakes as above driven firmly on either side of the tree with a cross bar to which

the stem is attached. Suitable for bare- rooted or Ball material.(c) A single stake driven in at an angle at 45 degrees and leaning towards the prevailing

wind, the stem just below the lowest branch being attached to the stake. Suitablefor small bare- rooted or Ball material

(d) For plant material 3m to 4.5m high with a single stem a three- wire adjustable guysystem may be used in exposed situations.

The end of stake should be pointed and the lower 1m to 1.2m should be coated with anon-injurious wood preservative allowing at least 150mm above ground level.

TyingEach tree should be firmly secured to the stake so as to prevent excessive movement.Abrasion must be avoided by using a buffer, rubber or Hessian, between the tree andstake. The tree should be secured at a point just below its lowest branch, and also justabove ground level; normally two ties should be used for tree. These should beadjusted or replaced to allow for growth.



WateringThe Landscape Contractor should allow for the adequate watering in of all newlyplanted trees and shrubs immediately after planting and he shall during the followinggrowing season, keep the plant material well watered.

FertilizingFertilising shall be carried out by application in rotation of the following fertilisers, every15 days from the beginning of the monsoon till the end of winter:

(1) Sludge or organic well-rotted dry farm yard manure: 0.05 cum or tussle.(2) Urea 25 gm.(3) Ammonium sulphate 25 gm.(4) Potassium sulphate 25 gm.

All shrubs, which are supplied pot grown, shall be well soaked prior to planting.Watering in and subsequent frequent watering of summer planted container- grownplants is essential.

(g) Shrub Planting In Planter BedsAll areas to be planted with shrubs shall be excavated, trenched to a depth of 750 mm,refilling the excavated earth after breaking clods and mixing with sludge in ratio 8:1 (8parts of stacked volume of earth after reduction by 20%: 1 part of stacked volume ofsludge after reduction by 8%.)Tall shrubs may need staking, which shall be provided if approved by the contractingconsulting engineer, depending upon the conditions of individual plant specimen.

For planting shrubs and ground cover shrubs in planters, good earth shall be mixed withsludge in the proportion as above and filled in planters.

Positions of planters shall be planted should be marked out in accordance with thearchitectural drawing. When shrubs are set out, precautions should be taken to preventroots drying. Planting holes 40 cm in diameter, and 40 cm deep should be excavated forlonger shrubs. Polythene and other non-perishable containers should be removed andany badly damaged roots carefully pruned. The shrubs should then be set in holes sothat the soil level, after settlement, will be original soil mark on the stem of the shrub.The holes should be back filled to half of its depth and firmed by treading. Theremainder of the soil can then be returned and again firmed by treading.

(h) GrassingPreparationDuring period prior to planting the ground shall be maintained free from weeds.Grading and final weeding of the area shall be completed at least three weeks prior tothe actual sowing. Regular watering shall be continued until sowing by dividing the areainto portions of approximately 5m squares by constructing small bunds to retain water.These 'bunds' shall be levelled just prior to sowing of grass plants; it shall be ensuredthat the soil has completely settled.



SoilThe soil itself shall be ensured to the satisfaction of Landscape Architect to be a goodfibrous loam, rich in humus.

Sowing the grass rootsGrass roots (cynodon, dectylon or a local genus approved by the Landscape Architect)shall be obtained from a grass patch, seen and approved before hand.The grass roots stock received at site shall be manually cleared of all weeds and watersprayed over the same after keeping the stock in place protected from sun and drywinds.

Grass stock received at site may be stored for a maximum of three days. In casegrassing for some areas is scheduled for a later date fresh stock of grass roots shall beordered and obtained.

ExecutionSmall roots shall be dibbled about 5 cm apart into the prepared grounds. Grass willonly be accepted as reaching practical completion when germination has provedsatisfactory and all weeds have been removed.

MaintenanceAs soon as the grass is approximately a 3cm high it shall be rolled with a light woodenroller – in fine, dry weather – and when it has grown to 5 to 8 cm, above to groundweeds must be removed and regular cutting with the scythe and rolling must be begun.A top-dressing of an ounce of guano to the square yard or well decomposed wellbroken sludge manure shall be applied when the grass is sufficiently secure in theground to bear the mowing machine, the blades must be raised an inch above thenormal level for the first two or three cuttings. That is to say, the grass should be cut sothat it is from 4 to 5 cm in length, instead of the 3 cm necessary for mature grass.

In the absence of rain, in the monsoon, the lawn shall be watered every ten daysheavily, soaking the soil through to a depth of at least 20 cm.

Damage failure or dying back of grass due to neglect of watering especially for seedingout of normal season shall be the responsibility of the contractor. Any shrinkage belowthe specified levels during the contract or defect liability period shall be rectified at thecontractor's expense. The Contractor is to exercise care in the use of rotary cultivatorand mowing machines to reduce to a minimum the hazards of flying stones andbrickbats. All rotary mowing machines are to be fitted with safety guards.

RollingA light roller shall be used periodically, taking care that the area is not too wet andsodden.

EdgingThese shall be kept neat and must be cut regularly with the edging shears.



FertilizingThe area shall be fed once in a month with liquid manure prepared by dissolving 45gmsof ammonium sulphate in 5 litres of water.

WateringWater shall be applied at least once in three days during dry weather. Wateringwhenever done should be thorough and should wet the soil at least up to a depth of20 cm.

WeedingPrior to regular mowing the contractor shall carefully remove rank and unsightly weeds.

CultivatingThe Landscape Contractor shall maintain all planted areas within Landscape contractboundaries for one year until the area is handed over in whole or in phases.Maintenance shall include replacement of dead plants, watering, weeding, cultivating,control of insects, fungus and other diseases by means of spraying with an approvedinsecticide or fungicide, pruning, and other horticulture operations necessary for propergrowth of the plants and for keeping the landscape sub-contract area neat inappearance.

Pruning and RepairsUpon completion of planting work of the landscape sub-contract all trees should bepruned and all injuries repaired where necessary. The amount of pruning shall belimited to the necessary to remove dead or injured twigs and branches and tocompensate for the loss of roots and the result of the transplanting operations. Pruningshall be done in such a manner as not to change the natural habit or special shape oftrees.

Tree GuardsWhere the tree guards are necessary, care should be taken to ensure that they do notimpede natural movement or restrict growth. Circular iron tree guards shall be providedfor the trees at enhancement locations. The specifications for which one given below:

Circular Iron Tree Guard with Bars

The tree guard shall be 50 cm. in diameter.

The tree guards shall be formed of (i) 3 Nos. 25x25x3mm angle iron verticals 2.00m longexcluding splayed outward at lower end up to an extent of 10 cms. (ii) 3 Nos. 25x25mmMS flat rings fixed as per design (iii) 15 Nos. 1.55 metres long 6mm dia bars. Each ringshall be in two parts in the ratio of 1:2 and their ends shall be turned in radially for alength of 4 cm at which they are bolted together with 8mm dia and 30mm long MSbolts and nuts.

The vertical angle irons shall be welded to rings along the circumference with electricplant 15 Nos. bars shall be welded to rings at equal spacing along the circumference ofring. The lower end of the angle iron verticals shall be splayed outwards up to an extentof 10cm. The lower end of the flat of lower ring shall be at a height of 45cm. and upper



end of the flat of top ring shall be at the height of 2.00 metres. The middle ring shall bein the centre of top and lower ring. The bars shall be welded to rings as shown in thedrawing. The entire tree guard shall be given two coats of paint of approved brand andof required shade over a priming coat of ready mixed primer of approved brand.

(i) Nursery StackPlanting should be carried out as soon as possible after reaching the site. Whereplanting must be a necessity and/or be delayed, care should be taken to protect theplants from pilfering or damage from people animals. Plants with bare-roots should beheeled- in as soon as received or otherwise protected from drying out, and others setclosely together and protected from the wind. If planting is to be delayed for more thana week, packaged plants should be unpacked, the bundles opened up and each group ofplants heeled in separately and clearly labelled. If for any reason the surface of theroots becomes dry the roots should be thoroughly soaked before planting.

(j) Protective FencingAccording to local environment, shrubs shall be protected adequately from vandalismuntil established.

(l) CompletionOn completion, the ground shall be formed over and left tidy.

5.12 Water Conservation MeasuresWater conservation measures must be adopted during the occupation stage that wouldconserve the natural resource and also reduce the pressure on other users. A typicallist of water conservation measures are presented as follows;

Household Water Saving Measures1. There are a number of ways to save water and they all start with you.

2. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink withwash water and the other with rinse water.

3. Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn iswatered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.

4. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you couldsave 3785 liters a month.

5. Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water such as steep inclines and isolatedstrips along sidewalks and driveways.

6. Install covers on pools and check for leaks around your pumps.

7. Use the garbage disposal less often.

8. Plant during rainy season and or winter when the watering requirements are lower.

9. Check your water meter and bill to track your water usage.

10. Always water during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler, tominimize evaporation.



11. Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead ofrunning water from the tap.

12. Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and savehundreds of liters of water a year.

13. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk and save up to303 liters of water every time.

14. If your shower can fill 4 liters bucket in less than 20 seconds, and then replace itwith a water-efficient showerhead.

15. Collect the water you use for rinsing produce and reuse it to water houseplants.

16. Water your lawn in several short sessions rather than one long one. This will allowthe water to be better absorbed.

17. We’re more likely to notice leaky faucets indoors, but don’t forget to check outdoorfaucets, pipes, and hoses for leaks.

18. Only water your lawn when needed. You can tell this by simply walking across yourlawn. If you leave footprints, it’s time to water.

19. When you shop for a new appliance, keep in mind that one offering severaldifferent cycles will be more water and energy-efficient.20. Time your shower to keep it under 5 minutes. You’ll save up to 3785 liters a month.

21. Install low-volume toilets.

22. When you clean your fish tank, use the water you’ve drained on your plants. Thewater is rich in nitrogen and phosphorus, providing you with a free and effectivefertilizer.

23. Water small areas of grass by hand to avoid waste.

24. Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into the toilet bowl, you have a leak.It's easy to fix, and you can save more than 2271 liters a month.

25. Plug the bathtub before turning the water on, then adjust the temperature as thetub fills up.

26. Use porous materials for walkways and patios to keep water in your yard andprevent wasteful runoff.

27. Designate one glass for your drinking water each day. This will cut down on thenumber of times you run your dishwasher/wash your utensils.

28. Instead of using a hose or a sink to get rid of paints, motor oil, and pesticides,disposes of them properly by recycling or sending them to a hazardous waste site.

29. Install a rain shut-off device on your automatic sprinklers to eliminate unnecessarywatering.

30. Don’t use running water to thaw food.

31. Choose water-efficient drip irrigation for your trees, shrubs, and flowers. Wateringroots is very effective, be careful not to over water.

32. Grab a wrench and fix that leaky faucet. It’s simple, inexpensive, and can save 530liters a week.



33. Cut back on the amount of grass in your yard by planting shrubs and ground coveror landscaping with rock.

34. When doing laundry, match the water level to the size of the load.

35. Teach your children to turn the faucets off tightly after each use.

36. Remember to check your sprinkler system valves periodically for leaks and keep theheads in good shape.

37. Before you lather up, install a low-flow showerhead. They’re inexpensive, easy toinstall, and can save your family more than 1900 liters a week.

38. Soak your pots and pans instead of letting the water run while you scrape themclean.

39. Don’t water your lawn on windy days. After all, sidewalks and driveways don’t needwater.

40. Water deeply but less frequently to create healthier and stronger landscapes.

41. Make sure you know where your master water shut-off valve is located. This couldsave gallons of water and damage to your home if a pipe were to burst.42. When watering grass on steep slopes, use a soaker hose to prevent wasteful runoff.

43. To get the most from your watering time, group your plants according to their waterneeds.

44. Remember to weed your lawn and garden regularly. Weeds compete with otherplants for nutrients, light, and water.

45. While fertilizers promote plant growth, they also increase water consumption.Apply the minimum amount of fertilizer needed.

46. Avoid installing ornamental water features unless the water is being recycled.

47. Use a commercial car wash that recycles water.

48. Don’t buy recreational water toys that require a constant flow of water.

49. Turn off the water while you brush your teeth and save 15 liters a minute. That’s760 liters a week for a family of four.

50. Encourage your school system and local government to help develop and promote awater conservation ethic among children and adults.

51. Teach your family how to shut off your automatic watering systems so anyone whois home can turn sprinklers off when a storm is approaching.

52. Set a kitchen timer when watering your lawn or garden with a hose.

53. Make sure your toilet flapper doesn’t stick open after flushing.

54. Make sure there are aerators on all of your faucets.

55. Next time you add or replace a flower or shrub, choose a low water use plant foryear-round landscape color and save up to 2085 liters each year.

56. Spot spray or remove weeds as they appear.

57. Use a screwdriver as a soil probe to test soil moisture. If it goes in easily, don’twater. Proper lawn watering can save thousands of liters of water annually.



58. Install a drip irrigation system around your trees and shrubs to water moreefficiently.

59. Mow your lawn as infrequently as possible. Mowing puts your lawn underadditional stress, causing it to require more water.

60. Don’t use the sprinklers just to cool off or for play. Running through water from ahose or sprinkler wastes gallons of water.

61. Make sure your swimming pools, fountains, and ponds are equipped withrecirculating pumps.

62. Bathe your young children together.

63. Direct downspouts or gutters toward shrubs or trees.

64. Insulate hot water pipes so you don’t have to run as much water to get hot water tothe faucet.65. Drop that tissue in the trash instead of flushing it and save liters every time.

66. If you have an evaporative air conditioner, direct the water drain to a flowerbed,tree, or your lawn.

67. Make suggestions to your employer to save water (and dollars) at work.

68. When brushing your teeth never leave tap water running.

69. Use a hose nozzle and turn off the water while you wash your car and save morethan 380 liters.

70. Encourage your friends and neighbors to be part of a water-conscious community.

71. Install a toilet dam or bottle filled with water in your toilet tank to cut down on theamount of water used for each flush. Be sure these devices do not interfere withoperating parts.

72. Wash clothes only when you have a full load and save up to 2271.25 liters eachmonth.

73. Prune back heavy foliage. Reducing leaf area reduces water needs.

74. Pick-up the phone and report significant water losses from broken pipes, openhydrants and errant sprinklers to the society.

75. If your grass is brown, it’s not dead, it’s just dormant. Dormant grass only needs tobe watered every three weeks. When the rain begins, your grass will turn green again.

76. Listen for dripping faucets and toilets that flush themselves. Fixing a leak can save1892.71 liters each month.

77. More plants die from over-watering than from under-watering. Be sure only towater plants when necessary.

78. Adjust your watering schedule to the season. Water your summer lawn every thirdday and your winter lawn every fifth day.

79. Turn the water off while you shampoo and condition your hair and you can savemore than 189.27 liters a week.

80. Bathe your pets’ outdoors in an area in need of water.



81. Choose new water-saving appliances, like washing machines that save up to 75.71liters per load.

82. Water only as rapidly as the soil can absorb the water.

83. Aerate your lawn. Punch holes in your lawn about six inches apart so water willreach the roots rather than run off the surface.

84. Select the proper size pans for cooking. Large pans require more cooking water thanmay be necessary.

85. Turn off the water while you shave and you can save more than 378.54 liters aweek.

5.13 Energy Efficiency Measures in a Typical Household5.13.1 Hot Water Repair leaky faucets. Reduce the temperature setting of your water heater to warm (120 F). Add an insulating blanket to your water heater. Install low-flow showerheads Wash clothes in warm or cold water using the appropriate water level setting for theload. Replace water heater, when needed, with an energy efficient model.

5.13.2 Major Appliances and Other Appliances Maintain refrigerator at 37 to 40 F and freezer section at 5 F. Maintain stand-alone freezer at 0 F. Choose a refrigerator/freezer with automatic moisture control. Use toaster ovens or microwave ovens for cooking small meals. Adjust the flame on gas cooking appliances so it’s blue, not yellow. Replace a gas-cooking appliance with a unit with an automatic, electric ignition

system. Run the dishwasher only with a full load of dishes. Air-dry dishes in a dishwasher. Shut down home computers when not in use. Select appliances (i.e., curling irons, coffee pots, irons) with time limited shut off

switches. Replace aging major appliances, TVs and VCRs when needed, with energy efficient

models. Replacing a 1970s refrigerator with an energy efficiency refrigerator. Thiscan save over 2,000 kWh per year. This will also reduce carbon dioxide emissionsby over 2,000 pounds every year.

Increase Air Conditioner thermostat by 3 degrees F. This can save over 900 kWh peryear, annually and over 900 pounds of carbon dioxide each year. Depending on thesize of your home, you can save 3% on your cooling costs for every degree you raiseyour thermostat in the summer. Raising the thermostat from 73 to 78 F degrees canreduce cooling costs by 15%.



Make sure your air conditioner is the proper size for the area you are cooling. An airconditioner that is too large will use more electricity than needed, an air conditionerthat is too small will have to work harder to cool a space. The recommended Airconditioners based on the room size are as follows:

Area To Be Cooled (sq. ft.) Capacity (BTU/HR)100 to 150 5,000150 to 250 6,000250 to 300 7,000300 to 350 8,000350 to 400 9,000400 to 450 10,000450 to 550 12,000500 to 700 14,000

700 to 1,000 18,000 Only run the washing machine, dryer, and dishwasher when you have full loads.

Cool only the rooms you use and utilize fans when the temperature is moderate.

5.13.3 Lighting Turn off lights when not in use. Use task lighting whenever possible instead of brightly lighting an entire room. Install compact fluorescent lamps in the fixtures which receive high use. Replace the

five most frequently used incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs.This will save over 500 kWh per year, and over 500 pounds of CO2.

5.14 Risk Assessment and Disaster ManagementConstruction sites in general do not handle toxic and or hazardous chemicals in largequantities, and the usage of the same is temporary for specific tasks. However theconstruction activity has a number of hazards resulting injuries and fatalities, and arenot reported widely due to the unorganized nature of construction professions. Theproposed project shall ensure the safety of workers and equipment to reduce andmitigate hazards. The hazards and mitigation measures due to various constructionactivities, and hazards to specific professions of construction are discussed as follows;



Site planning and layoutSite planning is essential to ensure safety and health of workers, in urban work siteswhich have space constraints. Site planning shall reduce and or help avoiding accidentsdue to collision of men with material and equipment etc. It is essential to plan thesequence of construction operations, access for workers on and around the site withsignage, location of work shops for welding, carpentary etc., location of first air facility,adequate lighting for work areas, site security by provision of fence or barricades,arrangements to keep the site tidy and for collection and removal of wastes.

Site tidinessAll the construction workers are briefed about the importance of keeping the site tidy,by clearing the rubbish and scrap at the end of the day, to keep the work area clear ofequipment and material, by depositing the waste in a designated location, by cleaningup spills of materials.

ExcavationExcavation for foundation and trenches involves removal of soil and rock. Excavation ortrenching plan shall consider underground services if any. The hazards related toexcavation are face collapse and injury or burial of workers by soil and rock, fall and slipof people in excavated pits and trenches, and injury to workers due to falling materialor equipment. The precautions to be taken are protection of excavation faces bysupport material, erection of shoring along trenches.Urban areas have building properties adjacent to the developing site, in such cases it isnecessary to shore the face of adjacent property to avoid fall or collapse of neighboringland or wall. Vehicular movement surrounding the excavated area needs to berestricted so as to avoid face collapse, and possible injury to workers. Excavation areasshall be provided with adequate lighting.

ScaffoldingOne of the important and serious safety risk in construction activity is fall of personfrom a height and fall of materials and objects from height resulting in injury toworkers. Scaffold is a supporting structure connecting two are more platforms used foreither storage of materials or as a work place. Guard rails and toe boards shall beprovided at every place where the height of scaffolding is more than 2 m. It shall beensured that scaffold is anchored and tied to the building, it is not overloaded with menand material, it is examined (both bamboo or wood and rope) frequently for infectionby insects, and that timber, if used, is not painted.

LaddersLadders are most commonly used equipment, as it is readily available and inexpensive,and is used widely. However the limitations of ladders are overlooked resulting ininjuries and fatalities. Ladders have limitations; allows only one person to work, climb,and carry materials or work with one hand, restricts movement, should be secured allthe time either using ropes or other people. It is essential to secure the ladder beforeuse. The safe use of ladder involves; ensuring that there are no overhead power lines,ladder extends at least one meter above the landing place, never use props to extendthe height of ladder, facing the ladder while climbing or descending, making sure foot



ware of ladder user is free of mud and grease, not to over balance or over reach andusing a hoist line instead of carrying materials.

Steel ErectionSteel erection of building frames requires construction work at heights and in exposedpositions. However planning at the design stage, setting the sequence of operations,supervising during construction, and usage of personal protective equipment like safetybelts in addition to provision of safety nets, anchorage points etc.

Confined SpacesConstruction work in confined spaces like open manholes, sewers, trenches, pipes,ducts etc. may have dangerous atmosphere due to lack of oxygen or due to presence offlammable or toxic gases. Work confined space is always conducted under supervision,with adequate safety measures like; checking the atmosphere in confined space beforeentry, provision of rescue harness to everyone, involvement of minimum of twopersons – one person for monitoring and ready for rescuing if needed, provision ofsafety equipment like atmospheric testing device, safety harness, torch light, first aidequipment, fire fighting apparatus, and resuscitation equipment.

VehiclesThe construction area shall have multiples of vehicles moving material with in the siteand from outside the site. The most common causes of onsite traffic incidents are; baddriving technique, carelessness, carrying unauthorized passengers, poor maintenance ofvehicles, site congestion, overloading, and uneven ground and debris. It is proposed toensure that all drivers have appropriate driving license, routes are planned, marked andleveled, enlisting additional workers during reversing, switching off the engine duringidling, and periodic maintenance schedule for all vehicles.

Movement of materials – Cranes and HoistsCranes and hoists are used for movement of materials within the site. The operators ofthese machines are qualified and the cabins will have a signal chart to understand thesignals given by site workers. The site workers are trained in signals for transmitting tothe operators of these machines. Stability of these machines and overloading are majorconcerns while operating these machines, hence it is necessary to avoid overloading,and to ensure structural stability of these machines before use. The cranes will havesafety hooks, and the workers are trained in using the same, and criticality of the hook.In case of hoists, it will be ensured that a gate is provided at each platform, travel ofpassengers is avoided, and platforms are always aligned with landing points.

Lifting and CarryingConstruction work involves a lot of manual labour resulting in stress and injury to theworkers. It is proposed to provide wheel burrows, trolleys etc., to avoid manualcarrying of materials. In situations where manual lifting of materials is needed, theworkers are trained in safety related to correct lifting technique, throwing technique inaddition to provision of personal protective equipment.



Working positions tools and equipmentThere is an increased reliance of tools and equipment in the construction industry in thepast 15 years resulting in reduced risk of physical exhaustion. However the equipment,working positions in using the equipment have its own hazards, which need to beavoided to reduce risks like musculoskeletal disorders. It will be ensured that workerspreferably work in sitting posture with necessary tools handy, to avoid physicalexertion, the right tools are provided, and carrying tools in pockets avoided, and wornout tools are replaced in time. In case of power driven tools, the dangerous part of themachinery is always covered, the tool is never left in operation when not in use, andpower is switched off immediately in case of any incident, to avoid physical injury toworkers.

Working EnvironmentMany chemical substances like adhesives, cleaning agents, floor treatments, fungicides,cements, grouts, insulants, sealants, paints, solvents etc. Solvents are criticalsubstances which require due attention as they are flammable and or toxic in few cases.The usage of these chemical substances is always ensured to follow the instructionsmentioned by the manufacturers. Solvents will not be used for removal of paints andgrease from skin. Personal protective equipment is provided by the proponent and orthe contractor and the site safety executive shall ensure the same. Construction sitesare also major sources of noise resulting in hearing impairment. Hence it will beensured that all emission sources are provided with mufflers or silencers, motors arecovered, machinery panels are secured and are not allowed to rattle, and noiseattenuating screens are provided to segregate noisy working areas, in addition toprovision of personal protective equipment. Gloves are used when using Vibrationcausing equipment. Adequate lighting is provided in work areas to mitigate hazards.

Health Hazards on Construction SitesConstruction works involve various trades with variable times of operation.Construction operations have a number of potential hazardous operations and resultingin health hazards to workers. Exposure differs from trade to trade, from job to job, bythe day, even by the hour. Exposure to any one hazard is typically intermittent and ofshort duration, but is likely to reoccur. A worker may not only encounter hazardsrelated to his profession, but also encounters hazards related to other professions inthe vicinity. This pattern of exposure is a consequence of having many employers withjobs of relatively short duration and working alongside workers in other trades thatgenerate other hazards. The hazard severity is contingent on concentration andduration of exposure in a specific construction work. A list of hazards present forworkers in various trades is presented in table 5.7.

Construction HazardsHazards for construction workers are typically of four classes: chemical, physical,biological and social.

Chemical hazardsChemical hazards are mainly due to inhalation of dusts, fumes, mists, vapours or gases,although some airborne hazards may settle on and be absorbed through the intact skin(e.g., pesticides and some organic solvents). Chemical hazards also occur in liquid orsemi-liquid state (e.g., glues or adhesives, tar) or as powders (e.g., dry cement). Skincontact with chemicals in this state can occur in addition to possible inhalation of thevapor resulting in systemic poisoning or contact dermatitis. Chemicals might also beingested with food or water, or might be inhaled by smoking.

Several illnesses have been linked to the construction trades, among them: Silicosisamong sand blasters and rock drill operators; Asbestosis (and other diseases caused byasbestos) among asbestos insulation workers, steam pipe fitters, building demolitionworkers and others; Bronchitis among welders, Skin allergies among masons and otherswho work with cement: Neurologic disorders among painters and others exposed toorganic solvents.

Physical hazardsPhysical hazards are present in every construction project. These hazards include noise,heat and cold, radiation, vibration and barometric pressure. Construction work oftenmust be done in extreme weather conditions. The usage of machines for constructionis resulting in noise. The sources of noise are engines of all kinds (e.g., on vehicles, aircompressors and cranes), winches, paint guns, pneumatic hammers, power saws,sanders, planers and many more. It affects not only the person operating the machine,but all the workers close-by. This may not only cause noise-induced hearing loss, butalso may mask other sounds that are important for communication and forsafety.Pneumatic hammers, many hand tools and earth-moving and other large mobilemachines also subject workers to segmental and whole-body vibration.Heat and coldhazards arise primarily because a large portion of construction work is conducted whileexposed to the weather, the principal source of heat and cold hazards. Heavyequipment operators may sit beside a hot engine and work in an enclosed cab withwindows and without ventilation. Those that work in an open cab with no roof have noprotection from the sun. A shortage of potable water or shade contributes to heatstress as well. The principal sources of non-ionizing ultraviolet (UV) radiation are thesun and electric arc welding. Lasers are becoming more common and may cause injury,especially to the eyes, if the beam is intercepted.Strains and sprains are among themost common injuries among construction workers. These, and many chronicallydisabling musculoskeletal disorders (such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and low-back pain) occur as a result of either traumatic injury, repetitive forceful movements,awkward postures or overexertion. Falls due to unstable footing, unguarded holes andslips off scaffolding and ladders are very common.

Biological hazardsBiological hazards are presented by exposure to infectious micro-organisms, to toxicsubstances of biological origin or animal attacks. Excavation workers, for example, can



develop histoplasmosis, an infection of the lung caused by a common soil fungus. Sincethere is constant change in the composition of the labour force on any one project,individual workers come in contact with other workers and, as a consequence, maybecome infected with contagious diseases-influenza or tuberculosis, for example.Workers may also be at risk of malaria disease if work is conducted in areas wherethese organisms and their insect vectors are prevalent.

Social hazardsEmployment in construction sector is intermittent, and control over many aspects ofemployment is limited because construction activity is dependent on many factors overwhich construction workers have no control, such as the state of an economy or theweather. Because of the same factors, there can be intense pressure to become moreproductive. Since the workforce is constantly changing, and with it the hours andlocation of work, and many projects require living in work camps away from home andfamily, construction workers may lack stable and dependable networks of socialsupport. Features of construction work such as heavy workload, limited control andlimited social support are the very factors associated with increased stress in otherindustries. These hazards are not unique to any trade, but are common to allconstruction workers in one way or another.

Decreasing exposure concentrationThree general types of controls can be used to reduce the concentration ofoccupational hazards. These are, from most to least effective: engineering controls atsource, environmental controls that remove hazard from environment, personalprotection equipment provided to the worker.

Engineering controlsHazards originate at a source. The most efficient way to protect workers from hazards isto change the primary source with some sort of engineering change. For example, a lesshazardous substance can be substituted for one that is more hazardous. Water can besubstituted for organic solvents in paints. Similarly, non-silica abrasives can replacesand in abrasive blasting (also known as sand blasting). Or a process can befundamentally changed, such as by replacing pneumatic hammers with impacthammers that generate less noise and vibration. If sawing or drilling generates harmfuldusts, particulate matter or noise, these processes could be done by shear cutting orpunching. Technological improvements are reducing the risks of some musculoskeletaland other health problems. Many of the changes are straightforward-for example, atwo-handed screwdriver with a longer handle increases torque on the object andreduces stress on the wrists.

Environmental controlsEnvironmental controls are used to remove a hazardous substance from theenvironment, if the substance is airborne, or to shield the source, if it is a physicalhazard. Provision of flexible Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) may be used. The simpleand effective method for controlling exposure to radiant physical hazards (noise,ultraviolet (UV) radiation from arc welding, infrared radiant (IR) heat from hot objects)is to shield them with some appropriate material. Plywood sheets shield IR and UVradiation, and material that absorbs and reflects sound will provide some protection



from noise sources.Major sources of heat stress are weather and hard physical labour.Adverse effects from heat stress can be avoided through reductions in the workload,provision of water and adequate breaks in the shade and, possibly, night work.

Personal protectionWhen engineering controls or changes in work practices do not adequately protectworkers, workers may need to use personal protective equipment (PPE). In order forsuch equipment to be effective, workers must be trained in its use, and the equipmentmust fit properly and be inspected and maintained. Furthermore, if others who are inthe vicinity may be exposed to the hazard, they should either be protected orprevented from entering the area.

Eating and sanitary facilitiesA lack of eating and sanitary facilities may also lead to increased exposures. Often,workers cannot wash before meals and must eat in the work zone, which means theymay inadvertently swallow toxic substances transferred from their hands to food orcigarettes. A lack of changing facilities at a worksite may result in transport ofcontaminants from the workplace to a worker’s home. It is proposed to provideseparate temporary canteen and changing place for employees.

5.15 Fire Protection Plan/SystemDescriptionThe fire protection system consists of the following:a) Hydrant system for entire housings with each floor having a hydrant.b) High Velocity Water Spray System (HVWS) for Generator, Transformers, etc.c) Water sump (capacity of 20 KL) for the hydrants will be at the top of each building.d) Portable fire extinguishers in different areas of the housing.e) Microprocessor based intelligent addressable fire detection and alarm system will beprovided at all floors of the buildings and silt area.

5.16 RISK ASSESSMENT AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS5.16.1 Classification of DisasterDisaster can occur at any point of time. It is essential to consider the mitigation planand protection for all the society members during occurrence of a disaster. If thesociety i.e. the tenants/ residents of the buildings are aware of the actions to be takenduring a disaster, then the effect of disaster can be reduced or avoided. Following typesof natural disaster can occur with a prior indication or without any prior indication.

Natural Disasters: Natural Disasters occur naturally with or without any prior indicationa. EarthquakeEarthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault.This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.Building develops cracks, collapses when the intensity of earthquake is more andprolonged. Probability of Occurrence: As per the earthquake zonation of India, theproposed site falls under seismic zone II which is referred as least risk zone. Thus thepossibility and severity of the experiencing the earthquake apparently decreases.Although there are no past records of this disaster in this region, earthquake ofintensity 3.0 and 5.0 on the Richter scale can occur in Zone II. Accordingly the measuresproposed are enumerated in the section of mitigation and preparedness.



Fig. Seismic Zone Map of Indiab. Cloud Burst and flood due to heavy rainfallA cloudburst is an extreme amount of precipitation, sometimes with hail and thunder,which normally lasts no longer than a few minutes but is capable of creating floodconditions. Sudden cloudburst can cause a flood to occur. This is one of the naturaldisasters. During the thunderstorms, the air mass that goes up from the lower levelcarries a certain amount of water in it. Sometimes that air current abruptly stopsmoving and the water mass falls down forcefully on the surface of earth. This naturalphenomenon is known as cloudburst. Flooding may occur due to the following reasons• If the rainwater does get the access to the natural stream or municipal drains• Delay in water flow from all runoff towards the natural stream like river, nalla (or

sea).• Slow discharge of water



• Flow diversion• Chocked up drains, nallah, river bed

The proposed site does not fall in any flood prone areas. Even if heavy rain fall arereceived, a well designed storm water drain is proposed as also there is a municipalstorm water drain of adequate capacity

c. Lightning StrikeLightning can score a direct hit on a highrise building. It can strike the overhead powerline which enters the building, or a main power line that is blocks away. Lightning canstrike branch circuitry wiring in the walls of the building. Lightning can strike an objectnearby, such as a tree or the ground itself and cause a surge. Voltage surges can becreated by cloud to cloud lightning. A highly charged cloud which passes overhead canalso induce a voltage surge. Buildings are protected from lightning by metallic lightningrods extending to the ground from a point above the highest part of the roof. Alightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems and telecommunicationssystems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damagingeffects of lightning. The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and aground terminal. The conductor has a pointed edge on one side and the other side isconnected to a long thick copper strip which runs down the building. The lower end ofthe strip is properly earthed. When lightning strikes it hits the rod and current flowsdown through the copper strip. These rods form a low-resistance path for the lightningdischarge and prevent it from travelling through the structure itself.

Unnatural Disasters: These kinds of disasters generally occur due to human error ornegligence.

d. FireFire is a hazard which is caused mainly due to human negligence. There are otherreasons like electrical short circuit, rain water seepage in electrical installations, gascylinder malfunctioning, domestic gas leakage which can cause fire disaster in aresidential building. A full proof fire fighting system is designed for the buildings whichmeets all fire safety norms and has a mitigation plan to tackle the fire hazard.During construction all safety precautions will be taken to handle the fire hazard.During construction fire can break out due to following reasons; Electrical looseconnection, Electrical short circuit, Storage of Inflammable material like diesel, paint atsite, From cooking gas cylinders at labour hutment.

e. Post Occupancy:The proposed project is designed with utmost care for all fire safety norms for itsresidents and the building as a whole. The normal cause of fire in the proposed projectpost-occupancy is LPG cylinders, loose connection to LPG cylinders, electrical shortcircuit, loose plug tops used by residents, storage of highly inflammable material likediesel, kerosene by residents, fire crackers in festival session etc. The building will beconstructed with all fire safety norms to mitigate such calamities during operationphase of the building. Fire proof material will be used as per design for variouscomponents of the building. Electrical cables and switches will be IS (Bureau of IndianStandard) certified and will have the minimum fire rating to mitigate any fire hazard.



The cabling and jointing will be done by professional agencies to avoid any mistakewhile installation.

f. Building collapseTo protect against building collapse, hardening of the buildings structural systems maybe required. Designers should balance the hardening of the building envelope so thatthe columns, walls, windows and glazing have an approximately equal response fordamage/ injury. This is a multi disciplinary effort of the architect, structural engineer,mechanical engineer and other design team members in order to achieve a balancebuilding envelope.

g. Vehicle AccidentsTraffic flow to and within the site needs to be maintained so that there are noobstructions to existing traffic flow on access roads. Also, road side parking will beavoided. The entry/ exit to the site will be with adequate curvature at kerbs so thatvehicles coming out/ entering the building do not impinge on road traffic directly.Regular maintenance and upkeep of the internal roads within project site will ensuresmooth traffic flow

h. Security breachIncluded in this category are Bomb Threat, riots & vandalism: Bomb threats could begenuine or false and many a time they turn out to a hoax. Unscrupulous elements withthe intention of creating a panic tend to resort to such hoax calls. Confirmed militantshowever resort to such deeds with the intention of destruction and strike terror. Itwould therefore be prudent to assess the genuinity of bomb threats. The threats areusually through phone calls, giving very little time to react or through mail, giving acertain date of an explosion that could occur. It is very rare that the caller will identifyhimself and the message sent through any messenger for fear of easy identification

i. Malfunctioning of LiftsRegular maintenance of lifts and other BMS has to be conducted. There should be aspecific Committee appointed for maintaining the systems during the operation phase.

5.16.2 MITIGATION AND PREPAREDNESSPeriodic mock drills, training programs are conducted to ensure all occupants are awareof the emergency procedures. The occupants at the time of occupation are providedwith an emergency management manual. All the floors of the building will havedesignated fire escape, with designated fire escape path. Each floor will have a safetywarden, mainly volunteered from among residents and or a maintenance/securityperson.

Emergency Mitigation Procedures: EvacuationSafety warden will be designated who will guide evacuation in an orderly manner. Onhearing the siren in other wings the wing safety warden will guide the occupants forevacuation by following the glow signage exit routes, as per the guidance given byIncident controller. Follow fire escape route only. The emergency exit door andemergency exit route will be clearly marked with a glow sign. Lifts are discouragedfrom usage, and all occupants are advised to use fire straircase. All evacuees are



discouraged to carry any baggage/belongings to expedite evacuation. Everyone isadvised to use hand rail while descending the staircase to mitigate the hazard of tripand fall

I. Following measures will be taken during construction to avoid fire hazard:• Training of workers on fire hazards during construction• Tool box talk to workers on fire hazard and dos and don’ts• Constant check on electrical connections• No loose connection• All plugs should have plug-tops• ELCBs for all circuits• Fire extinguishers at site at various location• Regular check on cooking facilities at labour hutment by project manager• Separate storage for highly inflammable material like diesel, paint.

II. Following measures will be taken during operation phase to avoid fire hazard:To protect the building and the residents from any fire hazard building will be equippedwith any one or combination of following installations.

Fire Alarm System Initiating Device(s) –Initiates fire alarm signal. Examples: smoke detectors, heat detectors, sprinkler flowswitch, manual pull station.

Monitoring Device - Fire alarm panel, located in the building Fire Command Centerlocated on the ground floor.

Signaling Device - Alerts building occupants to the alarm. Audible and visual alarmssignal on all floors (general alarm system) or only on floors in the immediate vicinity offire (zoned alarm system) like alarm horns, strobe lights.

Lift Recall - Upon activation of a smoke detector in the lift lobby, the lift shaft, or the ma-chine room, the lifts are recalled to the building lobby. For all other fire alarm activationsthe lifts will continue to run as normal. Lifts are not to be used during a fire evacuationbecause elevators may fail and trap occupants or the elevator shafts may act as chimneys,allowing smoke to travel up the shaft and injure occupants.

Exits - Two exit stairwells are provided, which are entered into through self-closing fire-rated doors.

Emergency Generator - On-site diesel engine generator is proposed even though the siteis located in Hyderabad which has assured power supply to cater to the needs in case ofload shut down. A generator will run for a minimum of eight-hours to power the fire andlife safety systems.

Sprinkler Systems - Sprinkler systems are designed to control fires while relativelysmall. Each sprinkler head discharges separately once the heat in the room has meltedthe shunt, thus allowing water to flow.



Portable fire extinguishers - Required to be installed on the wall and inspected orserviced at least once a year. Portable fire extinguishers are designed to put out smallcontained fires

III. Emergency Mitigation Procedure: Natural Calamities : EARTHQUAKEWhat to do DURING an earthquake?

Drop, Cover, and Hold On! If you are not near a desk or table, drop to the floor againstthe interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms. Avoid exterior walls,windows, hanging objects, mirrors, tall furniture, large appliances, and kitchen cabinetswith heavy objects or glass. Do NOT run outside

Stop driving if you're in a safe place, and if outside, go into an open area. Don't attemptto go outside if you're not in a position to do so--you could be injured by falling debris.When the earthquake is over, be sure to wear shoes to avoid broken glass. If you smellgas, turn off the main gas line and get out of the building. And don't forget--aftershocksdo occur, so don't assume the damage is done after the main shock has ended

EVACUATIONEmergency controller, incident controller and nominated fire safety wardens would playa similar role as that in case of fire. Immediate evacuation of the building will beabsolutely necessary in major emergencies.During earthquake following measures should be taken:• At first few seconds residents should stay calm and open doors for easy access• After the tremor subsides, Managing Committee shall instruct the residents for safe

evacuation of the building• Building Lift should not be used and main power supply should be shut• Intimate the external authorities like Fire Brigade for rescue operation• Residents who are safe should be moved out of the building to a safer relief location• If people are buried in debris, relief agencies should be called for safe rescue of the

people• Arrange for relief and rehabilitation space• Arrange for medical assistance, food.• Residents should not drive during earthquake• Residents should not move closer to any electrical pole or line while evacuation

process

IV. Measures to be taken during Flood/ Cloudburst• Managing committee should arrange for safe evacuation of the residents• Intimate the external authorities as mentioned in this plan• Managing committee, Building Manager, Security personnel should guide the

way towards safe evacuation of the building.• Arrange for relief and rehabilitation space• Arrange for medical assistance, food.• Residents should not drive during flood• Residents should not move closer to any electrical pole or line while evacuation

process• Switch off the main power supply of the building



V. SOCIAL CALAMITIES:The following preparedness is recommended to handle bomb threats :• Try to identify the caller and take as much information as possible• Inform emergency controller to call police and get their guidance for further action.

The local police station to be intimated immediately on receipt of such calls. Thepolice is trained to handle such threats and have access to special bomb detection anddisposal squads

• Human life is most important and on receipt of such threats, emergency controllerwill take a call to evacuate the site with the employees assembling at the siteemergency assembly point. All employees will be clearly informed about the threatsand panic will be minimized.

• Follow the evacuation instruction given by wing safety warden on public addresssystem

VI. OTHER EMERGENCIES : GAS LEAKDo’s & don’t in case of gas leak :• If you smell gas, DO not smoke or strike matches or use mobile phone• Do not turn electrical switches on or off.• Do open doors & windows.• Do keep people away from the affected areas.• Do close burner and regulator knobs• If there is a leak from the cylinder, remove the cylinder to a safer place and call for

help from the nearest authorized dealer.• Immediately inform the wing warden and follow his instructions.• Follow the evacuations given by the wing warden or IC• Evacuate the building at the earliest• Emergency controller to inform fire brigade, gas agency for further guidance and

action.• Return to the building when normalcy is restored by EC and instructed to do so

5.16.3 Inventory of Resources5.16.3.1 Medical EquipmentFirst Aid Kit• Bandage 15 Nos (Small, Medium and large – 5 each)• Cotton 10 Pack• One polythene wash bottle (2 x 500 ml) for washing eyes• Soframycine ointment• Dettol A pair of splints (350 mm x 75 mm x 6mm)

Don’ts for each type of disaster.

5.16.6 Onset of Disaster5.16.6.1. Actions to be taken during DisasterAction to be taken during disaster depends on nature of disaster i.e. where priorindication of disaster occurrence is there and where there is no prior indication anddisaster happens all of a sudden.



First Response Procedure (F.R.P)Chairman, Managing committee members, Building Manager, Security staff will have tobe quickly responsive to the disaster. It’s important to keep cool and patience duringthe disaster. No panic should be created and relief members should understand thegravity and importance of the situation and guide the residents to a safer place andprovide relief.It is important that Chairman or designated Managing Committee Member intimates allthe external agencies at once about the disaster. Apart from external authorities,internal authorities like Chairman, Managing committee members, Building Manager,Security staff should be aware of the situation and relief measures to be taken.

On occurrence of a disaster, the Site Disaster Manager will take the following actions:• Intimating and give guidance over public address system to the residences about the

disaster.• Prepare an instant mitigation plan and intimate all concerned.• Network with State, district and ward level control rooms• Ensure adequate warning before switching off power• Guide the residents on safe evacuation process.• Evacuate the residents to a safer place.• Assure occupants of continuous communication and take all measures to keep up

their morale.• Guide occupants on the steps being taken for evacuation in a systematic manner.• Take steps to Reduce/eliminate panic.• Liaise with Law & Order machinery• Intimate all external agencies like Police, Hospital, and Fire Brigade, NGOs about the

likelihood of occurrence and evacuation plan and seek help.

When prior indication is not there and disaster happens all of a sudden followingactions will be taken. At this situation only relief and rehabilitation will have to be doneas soon as possible.

• Take relief measures• Provide medical help• Provide safe access to rehabilitation camp• Provide food and drinking water• Intimate all external agencies like Police, Hospital, and Fire Brigade, NGOs about theevacuation plan well in advance

Preventive MeasuresFire plan approval will be obtained for the project, which specifies all requiredmeasures with respect to fire protection based on NBC and the prevailing stateregulations. The implementation of fire plan shall be mandatory and shall be aprecondition to issue occupancy certificate. The fire plan elaborates the requiredmeasures and the plan of action for each type of hazard, including the training plan forall the residents
