ANALYSIS OF RATE FOR SOIL EXCA>=2‐4.5 M DEPTH_MANUALLY

SOIL EXCA>=2‐4.5 M DEPTH_MANUALLY Manual excavation Wherever mechanical excavation is not feasible below ground level in foundation, trenches, walls, columns etc. in all classes of soil including soft & hard murram, wet soil etc. except rock and hard rock up to a specified depth, dressing of sides and ramming of bed , spreading, levelling, compacting in plinth and disposal of surplus excavated soil as per the specifications and as directed by engineer in charge within a lead of 5.0 KM.

Rate Analysis for Manual Excavation:

1. Scope of Work

  • Depth: 2–4.5 meters
  • Nature of Excavation: Manual excavation in all types of soil except rock and hard rock.
  • Inclusions:
    • Dressing of sides
    • Ramming of bed
    • Spreading, levelling, and compacting in plinth
    • Disposal of surplus soil within a lead of 5 km or plant boundary.

2. Components of Rate Analysis

a. Labor Cost

Manual excavation relies heavily on labour. The manpower required depends on soil type and depth. A typical breakdown includes:

  • Unskilled Labor: For digging, dressing, and ramming.
  • Skilled Labor: For supervision and quality control.

b. Tools and Tackles

Common tools like pickaxes, shovels, spades, and wheelbarrows are required. Consider depreciation or rental costs.

c. Lead and Lift

Disposal of surplus soil involves:

  • Loading and transportation within a lead of 5 km.
  • Unloading at the designated site.
  • Use transportation charges for vehicles like tippers or tractor-trailers.

d. Overheads and Contingencies

Add an overhead and profit margin to account for administrative costs, risks, and profit.

3. Formula for Rate per Cubic Meter

Total Cost per m³ = (Labor Cost + Tools & Tackles + Transportation + Overheads & Profit) / Volume

4. Factors Affecting Cost

  • Soil Type: Soft soil requires less effort than hard murram or wet soil.
  • Depth: Greater depth increases difficulty and time required for excavation.
  • Lead Distance: Disposal cost increases with lead distance beyond 5 km.
  • Local Wage Rates: Labor cost varies regionally.
  • Site Conditions: Restricted spaces or water-logged sites may add challenges.

5. Example Calculation

Assume:

  • Volume to be excavated: 10 m³
  • Unskilled labour: 4 persons/day at 500 each
  • Skilled labour: 1 person/day at 700 each
  • Tools: 200 per m³
  • Transport: 150 per m³
  • Overheads: 15%

Calculation:

  • Labor Cost: (4 × 500 + 1 × 700) × Days = 2700
  • Tools Cost: 200 × 10 = 2000
  • Transport Cost: 150 × 10 = 1500
  • Overheads: 15% × (Labor + Tools + Transport) = 15% × 6200 = 930

Total = Labor + Tools + Transport + Overheads = 6200 + 930 = 7130

Rate per m³ = Total / Volume = 7130 / 10 = 713 per m³
