Methods of Drilling
Percussion Drilling – not recommended for Drilling in
Dam Bodies – as it produces heavy vibrations – Speed
of drilling is High as Compared to diamond drilling.
Diamond Drilling – recommended for drilling in Dam
bodies – Very Low Vibrations – Speed is very Less.
Water Intake Test
• Drilled hole must be washed and must be saturated with
water for 24 to 48 hrs
• Double Packer should be used.
Lugeon Value = Loss of water in liter per minute per meter
dept of drilled hole under pressure of 10 ATM maintained for
10 mins in a drilled hole of dia 46 to 76 mm diameter
Lugeon Value = Loss of Water In Liters x 10 atm
depth(m) x Time(min) x Pressure(atm)
Note- 1 ATM= 1.03kg/cm2

GROUT INGREDIENTS
Temghar Dam Repairs (Leakage Controlling Measures)
Cement
Fly Ash – It is used to reduce heat of hydration and
shrinkage.
Silica Fume - It is used to reduce permeability.
ADMGP 1A – It is a Binding agent (optimizes sealing and
packing in conjunction with cement as principal binder. )
SPG1A - It is used to enhance the flow, Imparts higher and
efficient impermeability, higher packing and sealing of the
void,
ACC2025 - accelerates setting of cement and facilitates
speedier operation for plugging jetting water in gallerias or
down stream jets plugging.

GROUT MIX DESIGN
Grout Mix Design Is Prepared By Central Water &
Power Research Station Pune ( CWPRS )
• Mix Proportion Of Cement: FlyAsh: Silica = 80:18:2
Water/Cementitious Material Ratio = 0.65
Admixtures % By Weight Of Cementitious Material
( ADMGP1A ) = 2 %
Admixtures % By Weight Of Cementitious Material
(SPG1A & ACC2025 ) = 5 ml per kg of
Cementitious Material
Final Mix Proportion :-
• Cement = 100 Kg
• Fly Ash = 22.5 Kg
• Silica Fume = 2.5 Kg
• ADMGP1A = 2.5 Kg
• SPG1A = 625 ml
• ACC2025 = 625 ml
• Water = 80 litr
METHOD OF GROUTING
Stage Grouting :-
• Grouting From Bottom To Top
• Stage Of 3 m
EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED FOR
GROUTING
Double Drum Mixer Consisting Of Mixing Tank &
Agitating Tank
Compressor
Pressure Gauge
Grouting Pipe
Packer With All Accessories
FIELD TESTS OF GROUT
Flowability of Grout By Marsh Cone Apparatus = 27
to 36 Second ( To Check Workability )
PH Value of Grout = 11 To 13 ( To Check Acidic
Or Alkaline Nature Of Grout )
Settelment Test of Grout = Less Than 5 %
Compressive Strength of Grout Cube For 7 Days &
28 Days = 107 / 222 Kg/cm2
LABORATORY TESTS OF GROUT
