2.2. SL Canal Jetty sub-division:
Name of the project: Relocation of jetties/facilities for Tugs/Harbour
crafts along the north and south sides of SL Canal
for development of EQ-1A berth
ESTIMATED COST : Rs 32,02,69,300/-
PERIOD: 12 MONTHS
Scope of Work
Existing Tug-tie up jetty constructed for anchoring tugs/harbour crafts on
west of marine complex near inner harbour turning circle. As the cargo
handling increased copiously over the years, there is step up in no of
tugs/harbour crafts necessary to convey the cargo ships in to the harbour.
So, there is a necessity for extension of the existing EQ-1A berth. It is done
by constructing two rows of piles along the marine and land side of northern
arm of SL canal jetty. A new 7 meter wide road is proposed for traffic
management on southern side of SL canal and slope protection for the road
is done by constructing a retaining wall on the bank.
Capital dredging is done to -7.00 meters in the canal for hindered free
movement of tugs. A T-shaped diaphragm wall is constructed for protection
of foundation VIP launch as capital dredging may endanger its sub structure.
Dredging and construction of jetty are the immediate requirements and
should be completed on priority.

2.3Dredging Sub-division
Scope of work:- Deepening the inner harbour channel and inner harbor
turning circle up to (-) 16.10m capital dredging to accommodate 14m draft
vessels at Visakhapatnam port
Estimated contract value : Rs.217.27Cr.
Period of completion : 12 months
INTRODUCTION: The port of Visakhapatnam is located in
Latitude:17’41’N and Longitude:-83’18’E. The port is located almost
midway between Kolkata and Chennai on the east coast of India.
The port comprises of
- Inner harbor with 18 berths and
- Outer harbor with 7 berths and 1 mooring berth.
The project site is located in the inner harbor channel and inner harbor
turning circle of port of Visakhapatnam.
Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least
partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of
gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location.
This technique is often used to keep waterways navigable.
It is also used as a way to replenish sand on some public beaches, where
sand has been lost because of coastal erosion. Dredging is also used as a
technique for fishing for certain species of edible clams and crabs,
see fishing dredge.
9
A dredger is any device, machine, or vessel that is used to excavate and
remove material from the bottom of a body of water. For example, a scoop
attached to the end of a rope or pole by which a man can draw sediments up
from the bottom of a pond is a dredger. Developing this idea further, a
motorized crane equipped with a drag bucket or clamshell (grabber) that is
used to scoop material from the bottom of a body of water is also a dredger.
The crane could be located on the bank, or perhaps mounted on a barge. If
the crane is mounted on a barge, the entire vessel is referred to as a dredger
The process of dredging creates spoils (excess material), which are carried
away from the dredged area. Dredging can produce materials for land
reclamation or other purposes (usually construction-related), and has also
historically played a significant role in gold mining. Dredging can create
disturbance in aquatic ecosystems, often with adverse impacts.
Dredging can be classified into two types. Capital dredging and maintenance
dredging
Capital: dredging carried out to create a new harbour, berth or waterway, or
to deepen existing facilities in order to allow larger ships access. Because
capital works usually involve hard material or high-volume works, the work
is usually done using a cutter suction dredge or large trailing suction hopper
dredge; but for rock works, drilling and blasting along with mechanical
excavation may be used.
Maintenance:
dredging to deepen or maintain navigable waterways or channels which are
threatened to become silted with the passage of time, due to sedimented sand
and mud, possibly making them too shallow for navigation. This is often
carried out with a trailing suction hopper dredger. Most dredging is for this
10
purpose, and it may also be done to maintain the holding capacity of
reservoirs or lakes.
A trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) trails its suction pipe when
working, and loads the dredge spoil into one or more hoppers in the vessel.
When the hoppers are full, the TSHD sails to a disposal area and either
dumps the material through doors in the hull or pumps the material out of
the hoppers. Some dredges also self-offload using drag buckets and
conveyors.
Blasting
Blasting is a relatively quick method for dealing with small amounts of very
hard rock formations like outcrops. Large quantities of hard rock are
nowadays excavated by rock-cutter suction dredgers or bucket dredgers.
The disadvantages are:
11
• The blasting must be accompanied by grabbing for the removal of the
spoil;
• Unless carried out from the sea bed, both drilling and grabbing cause an
obstruction to sea traffic;
• The indiscriminate loss of sea life during blasting;
• The percentage of fines generated by the fragmentation of coralline rock
are very hard to predict; and
• Mobilization costs can be considerable
12
13
Disposal of materials:-In a "hopper dredger", the dredged materials end up
in a large onboard hold called a "hopper." A suction hopper dredger is
usually used for maintenance dredging. A hopper dredger usually has doors
in its bottom to empty the dredged materials. As the vessel dredges, excess
water in the dredged materials is spilled off as the heavier solids settle to the
bottom of the hopper. This excess water is returned to the sea to reduce
weight and increase the amount of solid material (or slurry) that can be
carried in one load. When the hopper is filled with slurry, the dredger stops
dredging and goes to a dump site and empties its hopper.
Terms and definitions:-
Land reclamation: dredging to mine sand, clay or rock from the seabed and
using it to construct new land elsewhere. This is typically performed by a
cutter-suction dredge or trailing suction hopper dredge. The material may
also be used for flood or erosion control.
Beach nourishment: mining sand offshore and placing on a beach to
replace sand eroded by storms or wave action. This is done to enhance the
recreational and protective function of the beaches, which can be eroded by
human activity or by storms. This is typically performed by a cutter-suction
dredge or trailing suction hopper dredge.
In the present Ph-III dredging in Visakhapatnam Port, the dredging is to be
carried out both in soft/hard strata and disposed of at designated dumping
ground. Dredging is to be carried out in hard strata, comprising sheet rock of
predominantly Khondalite origin, sometimes weathered and fractured. The
rock is overlain by overburden materials like clay, silt, sand, and gravel.

CALCUALTIION OF QUANTITIES:
Accurate quantity estimates are important for the choice of dredging plant,
production estimates, time of execution and ultimately project costs.
Expressed in quantities, a dredging operation can extend from a few hundred
cubic metres to many millions of cubic metrics. In order to arrive at an
accurate dredging volume, the following is required:
1. A detailed design layout showing areas to be dredged and the design
depths required together with the relevant cross-sections;
2. A hydrographic survey of the area with bathymetric contours at 1 metre
intervals for extensive projects or hydrographic grid with bathymetric
contours at 0.25 metre interval for isolated structures
15
3. A geotechnical survey including borehole logs, in-situ and laboratory
test results and samples.
The factors to be taken before going into procedure of dredging:-
i) The depth of the sea bed
ii) Nature of soil present in the sea bed
i) DEPTH OF THE SEA BED:-Before the works of any part thereof
begun, the contractor’s agent ,the engineer’s representative shall
together survey and take levels of the site of the works both above and
below water level/chart datum level. Each hydrographic survey shall
be carried out using a high frequency .single beam echo sounder,
which shall be capable of sounding with accuracy to within one
percent(1%) of the depth in conjunction with position fixing using
Real Time Differential GPS. The interfacing of the GPS and Echo
sounder will be done by “HYPACK-MAX” or equivalent standard
software acceptable to engineer. The plan of survey area and the cross
sections to be surveyed shall be continuously displayed on the
computer monitor installed in the survey vessel.
ii) NATURE OF THE SEA BED: Visakhapatnam port trust has
proposed to widening and deepening of inner channel and IHTC to
bring bigger draft vessels at port. They entrusted the job of
geotechnical investigation to M/s.VPC Concrete & Geo technologies,
Visakhapatnam, to conduct the necessary field investigations
,laboratory tests through Andhra University on various soil samples
collected .
SCOPE: The scope of this work includes the establishment of profiles and
comparing all the geotechnical test results and analysis of results. These
16
results will be utilized for future widening and deepening of the channel.
Ninety boreholes were conducted in the proposed channel area.
The scope of soil investigation includes exploration of subsoil using 150mm
diameter boring and NX size coring in rock formation .It includes
conducting various field tests, collection of samples from the field and
conducting various laboratory tests, and analyzing the results. The field tests
conducted includes standard penetration tests at required depths. The field
work also includes collection of disturbed samples from all the boreholes at
suitable depths. The samples collected from the field are subjected to various
laboratory tests including atterberg limits, grain size analysis ,specific
gravity etc, in each bore. The
Results of laboratory and field investigations are used for proper
classification of soil and to determine the strength parameters of various
soils. Jet probing in IHC and IHTC at 20mts.Grid to identify the rock level.
FIELD INVESTIGATIONS:-
Actual field investigations were carried out by using power driven
mechanical auger and wash water with the help of hydraulically operated
Jack up platform. In this method ,water was forced under pressure through
an inner tube, which is retained inside a casing pipe. The slurry flowing out
gives an indication of the soil type. The entire boring operating operation
was conducted in accordance with provisions laid down in IS: 1892-1962.
The diameter of the borehole was 150mm and casing was to support the
walls of the borehole.
Standard penetration tests (SPT) were conducted at required depth intervals
in each borehole, throughout the depth of exploration. The SPT was
conducted by driving a split spoon sampler under the blows of 63.5 kg
17
weight with a 75cm free fall. The initial 15m penetration was taken as the
seating drive. The number of blows required to drive the sample 30cm
beyond the seating drive is taken as the SPT ‘N’ value. All standard
penetration tests are carried out as per provisions in IS: 2131-1963.
Disturbed soil samples were collected at various depths to access the nature
of soil and to evaluate geotechnical properties in the laboratory.
Type of dredger used:-Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD)
Procedure:-
i) The dredgers intended for the subject work shall be installed with
position fixing system and dredge pack system so as to position the
vessel accurately in the required dredging area and monitor the depth
of dredging to the required line and level.
ii) Similarly the drilling rig, hopper barges& tugs etc,to be installed with
position fixing system and communication equipment such as walkie
talkies etc .
iii)The dredged material is to be removed from the site of dredging area
and transported and dumped at dumping ground marked as “spoil
grounds” on the navigation chart with Visakhapatnam harbor
published by the chief Hydrographer to Govt.of India.
The dredging is to be carried out to the required line and level as per the
drawings.

2.4.Environment monitoring sub-division
The port of Visakhapatnam is accredited with ISO Certification (ISO 14001)
by the Indian Register of Quality Systems for the Environmental
Management System standards in all its activities including related support
services.
An Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC) headed by renowned
Environmentalist Prof. S. Rama Krishna Rao as Chairman of the
Committee is in place with members representing Citizen Welfare
Associations, NGOs, Academic Institutions, Industries/Defense, Trade, and
Observers from APPCB, Government organizations and Senior Officers of
the Port. The Committee reviews the implementation of long term and a
short term directive issued by APPCB and also reviews the environmental
activities to be implemented by the Port. The Committee also inspects
various operational areas of the Port and advises improvements on the
Environmental activities carried out and gives suggestions for additional
Environmental pollution mitigative measures as may be necessary based on
the requirements from time to time.
Three Sub-Committees are constituted to review and monitor AAQ
(Ambient Air Quality), Green Belt Development and Hazard Management.
The EMC reviews the findings of the Sub-Committees and advises suitably
on the environmental improvement measures.
Environmental cell has been established to monitor the environmental
activities of the Port, duly appointing persons qualified in the field of
Environment Management.
The Visakhapatnam port is presently handling coal at west quay of inner
labour. However due to depth constraints in the inner harbor the largest size
19
vessels of coal are lightened/handled at outer harbor due to availability at
deeper dredge depths in the outer harbor .The coal at GCB is unloaded from
the ships on the wharf using floating cranes and the unloaded cargo is loaded
into the tracks using loaders in the back up area of the berth an at east yard
until it is lifted to the concerned parties
The measures taken by the Port to mitigate Environmental Pollution
include:
• Monitoring of Ambient Air Quality at six locations in and around the Port
area by Port and third parties like Andhra University Development Center
and APPCB.
• Monitoring of harbor water quality at regular intervals through Andhra
University Development Center.
• Monitoring of STP waters before and after treatment at regular intervals.
• Regular monitoring of pollution control measures in and around Port area
and residential areas.
• Preparation of Environmental Management Action Plan and
Comprehensive Environmental zoning and land use plan for all occupied
and unoccupied areas for the next ten years through M/s. MECON, Ranchi.
• Distribution of pamphlets and display of message boards on Environment
Management.
• Development of Environmental Parks/ Nurseries and maintenance of
Islands in and around Port areas.
• Continuous development of Green Belt in and around Port area.
• Mechanization of Cargo Handling Operations in phases.
• Monitoring effluent of Port based industries before discharging into Port
Waters and ensuring that they possess consent of APPCB for their activities.
20
The Port is taking all possible measures to contain the pollution and to
maintain the ambient air quality within permissible limits. In addition to the
above measures, the Port is
(i)Modernizing the cargo handling facilities for coal, iron ore, fertilizers etc.,
(ii)Reorganizing stack yards
(iii)Insulating coal stack yards by providing high rise walls along with dust
suppression system as long term measure to avoid dust pollution.
Measures taken by Visakhapatnam Port Trust to control Dust
pollution:
• The coal stock yards at GCB, WOB, North and South of S4 Conveyor are
provided with Mechanical Dust Suppression system at a cost of Rs 8.00
Crores, covering an area of 4,75,000 m2
commissioned in the year 2002 and
the same is effective and water sprinkling is done continuously round the
clock.
• Covering of coal stocks by sprinkling of water and covering with
tarpaulins.
• Watering of roads continuously by water tankers daily.
• Sweeping of roads manually and with other mechanical process.
• The stack heights are limited to thirty meters only.
• Development of green belt around the stack yards and port area.
Beach Nourishment
Visakhapatnam Port Trust is discharging its responsibility as a corporate
citizen in keeping the city clean and green, healthy and aesthetic and
contributing significantly for better civic amenities for the people of
Visakhapatnam.
21
In consonance with the development of Visakhapatnam Outer Harbor in the
early 1970s the need for protection of the beach North of Visakhapatnam
Port from the adverse affect of erosion due to the natural phenomena on
account of sea wave/current action was realized.
A quantity of about 4 lakhs cu. mts. of sand is being pumped for the beach
nourishment every year by incurring an expenditure of about ` 6.00 crores’.
The beach nourishment being carried out for over the last 3 decades shows
the firm commitment of the Port towards the social obligation for the city
public, visitors and fishermen community.

MAINTENANCE WORKS
Name of the project: MAINTENANCE OF INNER AND OUTER
HARBOUR WORKS ON BERTHS AND MARINE FIXTURES
Period of training: 14th
and 19th
June 2013
This division deals with various types of berthing structures, marine fixtures.
The maintenance division performs following functions:
 The maintenance of structures in outer harbour.
 Maintenance of marine fixtures in inner harbour, dry rock and ORS.
 Execution of capital dredging and maintenance of break water.
 Construction of multi-purpose berth 2 and channel berth.
 Maintenance of fishing harbour, SWP way complex.
Marine fixtures
Various marine fixtures on berth are
 Bollard
 Fenders
 Mooring Rings
 Ladders
Bollards
Bollards originally referred to short vertical posts, typically found where
large ships dock for mooring. These are used to maintain the vessel to
maintain tranquility. These are used when the vessel arrive the berth for
unloading or loading purpose.
23
Fenders
In boating, a fender is a bumper used to absorb the kinetic energy of a
berthing boat or vessel against a jetty, quay wall or other vessel. Fenders are
used to prevent damage to boats, vessels and berthing structures. Fenders are
now a day constructed in several ways, typically of rubber, foam elastomer
or plastic. Rubber fenders are either extruded or made in a mould. The type
of fender that is most suitable for an application depends on many variables,
including dimensions and displacement of the vessel, maximum allowable
standoff, berthing structure, tidal variations and other berth-specific
conditions.
Types of fenders:
 Super cell fenders
 Arch fenders
 Cylindrical fenders
 M-type fenders
Mooring rings
Mooring rings are used for tying up ropes from berths to get position of ship
in stationary motion. These are available both in mild and steel in different
grades. These rings are used for maneuvering or fastening small boats.
Mooring rings are available from 12mm diameter to 100mm diameter as per
requirement.
Ladders:
Ladders are used for accessibility from the berths. Ladders are available both
in stainless steel/moulded rubber as per requirement. Unique dual
application ladders are also available, which can be used as fender for small
24
boats as well as ladders. Different types of ladders from 2m length to 12m
length are available as per requirement.
Break waters:
Break waters are structures constructed on coasts defense or to protect an
anchorage from the effects of weather and long shore drift.
Offshore breakwaters also called bulkheads, reduce the intensity of water
action inshore waters and thereby reduce coastal erosion. They are
constructed some distance away from the coast or built with one-end linked
to the coast. The breakwaters may be small structure place one to three
hundred feet offshore in relatively shallow water, designed to protect gently
sloping beach.
There are three breakwaters:
 East breakwaters
 Southern breakwaters
 Northern breakwaters
The length of the east breakwater is 1050m
The length of the south breakwater is 1534m
The length of the north breakwaters is 412m
A minimum depth of 18.2 meters is to maintain in the outer harbor. The
turning radius of outer harbors is 610meters. A minimum depth of 10.7 m is
to maintain in the inner harbor. The turning radius of inner harbor is 440m.

  • 6. 6 As per the directions of Executive Engineer, first we have under gone training at SLCJ sub-division, then Dredging and lastly at Environmental sub-division. 2.2. SL Canal Jetty sub-division: Name of the project: Relocation of jetties/facilities for Tugs/Harbour crafts along the north and south sides of SL Canal for development of EQ-1A berth ESTIMATED COST : Rs 32,02,69,300/- PERIOD: 12 MONTHS Scope of Work Existing Tug-tie up jetty constructed for anchoring tugs/harbour crafts on west of marine complex near inner harbour turning circle. As the cargo handling increased copiously over the years, there is step up in no of tugs/harbour crafts necessary to convey the cargo ships in to the harbour. So, there is a necessity for extension of the existing EQ-1A berth. It is done by constructing two rows of piles along the marine and land side of northern arm of SL canal jetty. A new 7 meter wide road is proposed for traffic management on southern side of SL canal and slope protection for the road is done by constructing a retaining wall on the bank. Capital dredging is done to -7.00 meters in the canal for hindered free movement of tugs. A T-shaped diaphragm wall is constructed for protection of foundation VIP launch as capital dredging may endanger its sub structure. Dredging and construction of jetty are the immediate requirements and should be completed on priority.

  • 8. 8 2.3Dredging Sub-division Scope of work:- Deepening the inner harbour channel and inner harbor turning circle up to (-) 16.10m capital dredging to accommodate 14m draft vessels at Visakhapatnam port Estimated contract value : Rs.217.27Cr. Period of completion : 12 months INTRODUCTION: The port of Visakhapatnam is located in Latitude:17’41’N and Longitude:-83’18’E. The port is located almost midway between Kolkata and Chennai on the east coast of India. The port comprises of - Inner harbor with 18 berths and - Outer harbor with 7 berths and 1 mooring berth. The project site is located in the inner harbor channel and inner harbor turning circle of port of Visakhapatnam. Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location. This technique is often used to keep waterways navigable. It is also used as a way to replenish sand on some public beaches, where sand has been lost because of coastal erosion. Dredging is also used as a technique for fishing for certain species of edible clams and crabs, see fishing dredge.
  • 9. 9 A dredger is any device, machine, or vessel that is used to excavate and remove material from the bottom of a body of water. For example, a scoop attached to the end of a rope or pole by which a man can draw sediments up from the bottom of a pond is a dredger. Developing this idea further, a motorized crane equipped with a drag bucket or clamshell (grabber) that is used to scoop material from the bottom of a body of water is also a dredger. The crane could be located on the bank, or perhaps mounted on a barge. If the crane is mounted on a barge, the entire vessel is referred to as a dredger The process of dredging creates spoils (excess material), which are carried away from the dredged area. Dredging can produce materials for land reclamation or other purposes (usually construction-related), and has also historically played a significant role in gold mining. Dredging can create disturbance in aquatic ecosystems, often with adverse impacts. Dredging can be classified into two types. Capital dredging and maintenance dredging Capital: dredging carried out to create a new harbour, berth or waterway, or to deepen existing facilities in order to allow larger ships access. Because capital works usually involve hard material or high-volume works, the work is usually done using a cutter suction dredge or large trailing suction hopper dredge; but for rock works, drilling and blasting along with mechanical excavation may be used. Maintenance: dredging to deepen or maintain navigable waterways or channels which are threatened to become silted with the passage of time, due to sedimented sand and mud, possibly making them too shallow for navigation. This is often carried out with a trailing suction hopper dredger. Most dredging is for this
  • 10. 10 purpose, and it may also be done to maintain the holding capacity of reservoirs or lakes. A trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) trails its suction pipe when working, and loads the dredge spoil into one or more hoppers in the vessel. When the hoppers are full, the TSHD sails to a disposal area and either dumps the material through doors in the hull or pumps the material out of the hoppers. Some dredges also self-offload using drag buckets and conveyors. Blasting Blasting is a relatively quick method for dealing with small amounts of very hard rock formations like outcrops. Large quantities of hard rock are nowadays excavated by rock-cutter suction dredgers or bucket dredgers. The disadvantages are:
  • 11. 11 • The blasting must be accompanied by grabbing for the removal of the spoil; • Unless carried out from the sea bed, both drilling and grabbing cause an obstruction to sea traffic; • The indiscriminate loss of sea life during blasting; • The percentage of fines generated by the fragmentation of coralline rock are very hard to predict; and • Mobilization costs can be considerable
  • 12. 12
  • 13. 13 Disposal of materials:-In a "hopper dredger", the dredged materials end up in a large onboard hold called a "hopper." A suction hopper dredger is usually used for maintenance dredging. A hopper dredger usually has doors in its bottom to empty the dredged materials. As the vessel dredges, excess water in the dredged materials is spilled off as the heavier solids settle to the bottom of the hopper. This excess water is returned to the sea to reduce weight and increase the amount of solid material (or slurry) that can be carried in one load. When the hopper is filled with slurry, the dredger stops dredging and goes to a dump site and empties its hopper. Terms and definitions:- Land reclamation: dredging to mine sand, clay or rock from the seabed and using it to construct new land elsewhere. This is typically performed by a cutter-suction dredge or trailing suction hopper dredge. The material may also be used for flood or erosion control. Beach nourishment: mining sand offshore and placing on a beach to replace sand eroded by storms or wave action. This is done to enhance the recreational and protective function of the beaches, which can be eroded by human activity or by storms. This is typically performed by a cutter-suction dredge or trailing suction hopper dredge. In the present Ph-III dredging in Visakhapatnam Port, the dredging is to be carried out both in soft/hard strata and disposed of at designated dumping ground. Dredging is to be carried out in hard strata, comprising sheet rock of predominantly Khondalite origin, sometimes weathered and fractured. The rock is overlain by overburden materials like clay, silt, sand, and gravel.
  • 14. 14 Type of vessel used is trailer suction hopper dredger. The detail of the dredger is mentioned below: Built 2007 (China) Flag/Class Belize / Indian Register of Shipping Deadweight 6,920 MT LOA /Beam) 96.78 / 18.00 Hopper Capacity 4,500 Cu.m GT / NT 4,337 / 1,301 Sea Speed / Con 10.5k on 19.5 MT MGO Total Installed Diesel Power 7824 kW Draught Loaded 7.03 m Maximum Dredging Depth 25 m CALCUALTIION OF QUANTITIES: Accurate quantity estimates are important for the choice of dredging plant, production estimates, time of execution and ultimately project costs. Expressed in quantities, a dredging operation can extend from a few hundred cubic metres to many millions of cubic metrics. In order to arrive at an accurate dredging volume, the following is required: 1. A detailed design layout showing areas to be dredged and the design depths required together with the relevant cross-sections; 2. A hydrographic survey of the area with bathymetric contours at 1 metre intervals for extensive projects or hydrographic grid with bathymetric contours at 0.25 metre interval for isolated structures
  • 15. 15 3. A geotechnical survey including borehole logs, in-situ and laboratory test results and samples. The factors to be taken before going into procedure of dredging:- i) The depth of the sea bed ii) Nature of soil present in the sea bed i) DEPTH OF THE SEA BED:-Before the works of any part thereof begun, the contractor’s agent ,the engineer’s representative shall together survey and take levels of the site of the works both above and below water level/chart datum level. Each hydrographic survey shall be carried out using a high frequency .single beam echo sounder, which shall be capable of sounding with accuracy to within one percent(1%) of the depth in conjunction with position fixing using Real Time Differential GPS. The interfacing of the GPS and Echo sounder will be done by “HYPACK-MAX” or equivalent standard software acceptable to engineer. The plan of survey area and the cross sections to be surveyed shall be continuously displayed on the computer monitor installed in the survey vessel. ii) NATURE OF THE SEA BED: Visakhapatnam port trust has proposed to widening and deepening of inner channel and IHTC to bring bigger draft vessels at port. They entrusted the job of geotechnical investigation to M/s.VPC Concrete & Geo technologies, Visakhapatnam, to conduct the necessary field investigations ,laboratory tests through Andhra University on various soil samples collected . SCOPE: The scope of this work includes the establishment of profiles and comparing all the geotechnical test results and analysis of results. These
  • 16. 16 results will be utilized for future widening and deepening of the channel. Ninety boreholes were conducted in the proposed channel area. The scope of soil investigation includes exploration of subsoil using 150mm diameter boring and NX size coring in rock formation .It includes conducting various field tests, collection of samples from the field and conducting various laboratory tests, and analyzing the results. The field tests conducted includes standard penetration tests at required depths. The field work also includes collection of disturbed samples from all the boreholes at suitable depths. The samples collected from the field are subjected to various laboratory tests including atterberg limits, grain size analysis ,specific gravity etc, in each bore. The Results of laboratory and field investigations are used for proper classification of soil and to determine the strength parameters of various soils. Jet probing in IHC and IHTC at 20mts.Grid to identify the rock level. FIELD INVESTIGATIONS:- Actual field investigations were carried out by using power driven mechanical auger and wash water with the help of hydraulically operated Jack up platform. In this method ,water was forced under pressure through an inner tube, which is retained inside a casing pipe. The slurry flowing out gives an indication of the soil type. The entire boring operating operation was conducted in accordance with provisions laid down in IS: 1892-1962. The diameter of the borehole was 150mm and casing was to support the walls of the borehole. Standard penetration tests (SPT) were conducted at required depth intervals in each borehole, throughout the depth of exploration. The SPT was conducted by driving a split spoon sampler under the blows of 63.5 kg
  • 17. 17 weight with a 75cm free fall. The initial 15m penetration was taken as the seating drive. The number of blows required to drive the sample 30cm beyond the seating drive is taken as the SPT ‘N’ value. All standard penetration tests are carried out as per provisions in IS: 2131-1963. Disturbed soil samples were collected at various depths to access the nature of soil and to evaluate geotechnical properties in the laboratory. Type of dredger used:-Trailer Suction Hopper Dredger (TSHD) Procedure:- i) The dredgers intended for the subject work shall be installed with position fixing system and dredge pack system so as to position the vessel accurately in the required dredging area and monitor the depth of dredging to the required line and level. ii) Similarly the drilling rig, hopper barges& tugs etc,to be installed with position fixing system and communication equipment such as walkie talkies etc . iii)The dredged material is to be removed from the site of dredging area and transported and dumped at dumping ground marked as “spoil grounds” on the navigation chart with Visakhapatnam harbor published by the chief Hydrographer to Govt.of India. The dredging is to be carried out to the required line and level as per the drawings.
  • 18. 18 2.4.Environment monitoring sub-division The port of Visakhapatnam is accredited with ISO Certification (ISO 14001) by the Indian Register of Quality Systems for the Environmental Management System standards in all its activities including related support services. An Environmental Monitoring Committee (EMC) headed by renowned Environmentalist Prof. S. Rama Krishna Rao as Chairman of the Committee is in place with members representing Citizen Welfare Associations, NGOs, Academic Institutions, Industries/Defense, Trade, and Observers from APPCB, Government organizations and Senior Officers of the Port. The Committee reviews the implementation of long term and a short term directive issued by APPCB and also reviews the environmental activities to be implemented by the Port. The Committee also inspects various operational areas of the Port and advises improvements on the Environmental activities carried out and gives suggestions for additional Environmental pollution mitigative measures as may be necessary based on the requirements from time to time. Three Sub-Committees are constituted to review and monitor AAQ (Ambient Air Quality), Green Belt Development and Hazard Management. The EMC reviews the findings of the Sub-Committees and advises suitably on the environmental improvement measures. Environmental cell has been established to monitor the environmental activities of the Port, duly appointing persons qualified in the field of Environment Management. The Visakhapatnam port is presently handling coal at west quay of inner labour. However due to depth constraints in the inner harbor the largest size
  • 19. 19 vessels of coal are lightened/handled at outer harbor due to availability at deeper dredge depths in the outer harbor .The coal at GCB is unloaded from the ships on the wharf using floating cranes and the unloaded cargo is loaded into the tracks using loaders in the back up area of the berth an at east yard until it is lifted to the concerned parties The measures taken by the Port to mitigate Environmental Pollution include: • Monitoring of Ambient Air Quality at six locations in and around the Port area by Port and third parties like Andhra University Development Center and APPCB. • Monitoring of harbor water quality at regular intervals through Andhra University Development Center. • Monitoring of STP waters before and after treatment at regular intervals. • Regular monitoring of pollution control measures in and around Port area and residential areas. • Preparation of Environmental Management Action Plan and Comprehensive Environmental zoning and land use plan for all occupied and unoccupied areas for the next ten years through M/s. MECON, Ranchi. • Distribution of pamphlets and display of message boards on Environment Management. • Development of Environmental Parks/ Nurseries and maintenance of Islands in and around Port areas. • Continuous development of Green Belt in and around Port area. • Mechanization of Cargo Handling Operations in phases. • Monitoring effluent of Port based industries before discharging into Port Waters and ensuring that they possess consent of APPCB for their activities.
  • 20. 20 The Port is taking all possible measures to contain the pollution and to maintain the ambient air quality within permissible limits. In addition to the above measures, the Port is (i)Modernizing the cargo handling facilities for coal, iron ore, fertilizers etc., (ii)Reorganizing stack yards (iii)Insulating coal stack yards by providing high rise walls along with dust suppression system as long term measure to avoid dust pollution. Measures taken by Visakhapatnam Port Trust to control Dust pollution: • The coal stock yards at GCB, WOB, North and South of S4 Conveyor are provided with Mechanical Dust Suppression system at a cost of Rs 8.00 Crores, covering an area of 4,75,000 m2 commissioned in the year 2002 and the same is effective and water sprinkling is done continuously round the clock. • Covering of coal stocks by sprinkling of water and covering with tarpaulins. • Watering of roads continuously by water tankers daily. • Sweeping of roads manually and with other mechanical process. • The stack heights are limited to thirty meters only. • Development of green belt around the stack yards and port area. Beach Nourishment Visakhapatnam Port Trust is discharging its responsibility as a corporate citizen in keeping the city clean and green, healthy and aesthetic and contributing significantly for better civic amenities for the people of Visakhapatnam.
  • 21. 21 In consonance with the development of Visakhapatnam Outer Harbor in the early 1970s the need for protection of the beach North of Visakhapatnam Port from the adverse affect of erosion due to the natural phenomena on account of sea wave/current action was realized. A quantity of about 4 lakhs cu. mts. of sand is being pumped for the beach nourishment every year by incurring an expenditure of about ` 6.00 crores’. The beach nourishment being carried out for over the last 3 decades shows the firm commitment of the Port towards the social obligation for the city public, visitors and fishermen community.
  • 22. 22 MAINTENANCE WORKS Name of the project: MAINTENANCE OF INNER AND OUTER HARBOUR WORKS ON BERTHS AND MARINE FIXTURES Period of training: 14th and 19th June 2013 This division deals with various types of berthing structures, marine fixtures. The maintenance division performs following functions:  The maintenance of structures in outer harbour.  Maintenance of marine fixtures in inner harbour, dry rock and ORS.  Execution of capital dredging and maintenance of break water.  Construction of multi-purpose berth 2 and channel berth.  Maintenance of fishing harbour, SWP way complex. Marine fixtures Various marine fixtures on berth are  Bollard  Fenders  Mooring Rings  Ladders Bollards Bollards originally referred to short vertical posts, typically found where large ships dock for mooring. These are used to maintain the vessel to maintain tranquility. These are used when the vessel arrive the berth for unloading or loading purpose.
  • 23. 23 Fenders In boating, a fender is a bumper used to absorb the kinetic energy of a berthing boat or vessel against a jetty, quay wall or other vessel. Fenders are used to prevent damage to boats, vessels and berthing structures. Fenders are now a day constructed in several ways, typically of rubber, foam elastomer or plastic. Rubber fenders are either extruded or made in a mould. The type of fender that is most suitable for an application depends on many variables, including dimensions and displacement of the vessel, maximum allowable standoff, berthing structure, tidal variations and other berth-specific conditions. Types of fenders:  Super cell fenders  Arch fenders  Cylindrical fenders  M-type fenders Mooring rings Mooring rings are used for tying up ropes from berths to get position of ship in stationary motion. These are available both in mild and steel in different grades. These rings are used for maneuvering or fastening small boats. Mooring rings are available from 12mm diameter to 100mm diameter as per requirement. Ladders: Ladders are used for accessibility from the berths. Ladders are available both in stainless steel/moulded rubber as per requirement. Unique dual application ladders are also available, which can be used as fender for small
  • 24. 24 boats as well as ladders. Different types of ladders from 2m length to 12m length are available as per requirement. Break waters: Break waters are structures constructed on coasts defense or to protect an anchorage from the effects of weather and long shore drift. Offshore breakwaters also called bulkheads, reduce the intensity of water action inshore waters and thereby reduce coastal erosion. They are constructed some distance away from the coast or built with one-end linked to the coast. The breakwaters may be small structure place one to three hundred feet offshore in relatively shallow water, designed to protect gently sloping beach. There are three breakwaters:  East breakwaters  Southern breakwaters  Northern breakwaters The length of the east breakwater is 1050m The length of the south breakwater is 1534m The length of the north breakwaters is 412m A minimum depth of 18.2 meters is to maintain in the outer harbor. The turning radius of outer harbors is 610meters. A minimum depth of 10.7 m is to maintain in the inner harbor. The turning radius of inner harbor is 440m. area of the inner channel is 100hectors. Area of the outer harbor is 200 hectors. Length of each berth is 225m.
