Important notes
• All excavation shall be measured in successive stages of 1.5 m stating the
commencing level. This shall not apply to cases where no lift is involved as
in hillside cutting.
• All excavation shall generally be described as ‘excavate and get out’.
Getting out shall include throwing the excavated earth at least one metre or
l/3 depth of excavation whichever is more clear of the edge of excavation
• Filling under floors shall be measured in cubic metres and shall include
spreading in layers not exceeding 20 cm in depth watering, well ramming
and levelling.

Working space
• In case of the following works, authorized quantities ( calculated on the
basis of authorized working space ) or those actually excavated, whichever
are less, shall be measured:
a) In work which requires form work;
b) In work which will be covered externally with a damp proof covering;
c) In work which will be covered externally with protective masonry work of
brick, stone, precast concrete, etc;
d) Trenches which are to receive post tensioned concrete ground beams;
e) Special works like guniting, etc; and
f) In work which requires workmen to operate from the outside.
• Authorized working space=60 cm measured from the face of structure at
lowest level, for (case-a,b,c,e,f)
• Authorized working space= 1.5m measured from the face of structure at
lowest level, for (case-d)
4
Excavation in Trenches for Foundations and for Pipes, Cables, etc
• Excavation in trenches for foundations and for pipes, cables, etc, not
exceeding 1.5 m in width and for shafts, wells, cesspits and the like not
exceeding 10 m2 on plan shall be so described and measured in
cubicmetres.
• The authorized quantities ( calculated on the basis of authorized width ) or
those excavated whichever are less shall be measured in case of excavation
for pipes, cables, etc.
• Case-1, d<1m
• Working space=25cm+outer dia+25cm
• Case-2, d>1m
• Working space=25cm+outer dia+25cm+5 cm/m depth for each side
5
LEAD
• lead : the area excavate, shall be divided into suitable blocks and for each
block the distance from the centre of the block to centre of placed earth
pertaining to this block shall be taken as lead.
6
LEAD MEASUREMENT UNIT
1. 0 to 250 m 50m
2. 250 to 500m 50m
3. 500 to 5 km 500m
4. More than 5km 1 km
LIFT
• Lift shall be measured from ground level. Excavation up to 1.5 m depth
below ground level and depositing excavated material on the ground shall
be included in the item of earthwork for various kinds of soil.
• Extra lift shall be measured in unit of 1.5 m
7
REMOVING TREES AND HEDGES
• Clearing of shrubs, brushwood, small trees not exceeding 30 cm
girth=SMT(include removal and disposal.)
• Cutting down hedges and removal of fences=RMT (include removal and
disposal.)
• Cutting down trees of 30 cm girth and over up to 100 cm girth=NOS
• Digging out of roots including stacking = NOS
• The girth shall be measured at one meter above ground level.
