Alternative B:
It is assumed by SIEMENS that public / municipal services & supplies are not available at the Site boundary
or adjacent to the Site.
Page 6 of 29
File: 266009419.doc
Therefore, SIEMENS civil scope of work includes the following:
5.3
Site Clearance
If specified in CUSTOMER specification, SIEMENS would clear the site from top soil and small plant and
vegetation like bushes and grass, if required. Tree cutting and all related permitting would be not included in
SIEMENS scope of work.
It has been assumed by SIEMENS that the Site is clear of any below and above ground structures, services,
obstacles and archaeological findings. If not specified otherwise in CUSTOMER specification, any detection
of existing underground structures, services, obstacles and other findings shall be done by CUSTOMER, if
required. The existing above and below ground structures, obstacles and services located at Site shall be
disconnected, re-routed, demolished and removed by CUSTOMER before the Site is handed over to
SIEMENS. All related earthworks including backfilling with suitable material (non-cohesive material installed
in layers not exceeding 150 mm and compaction to 95% Max Dry Density (Mod Proctor Density)) shall be
done by CUSTOMER before the Site is handed over to SIEMENS.
If not specified otherwise in CUSTOMER specification, the following assumptions, exclusions and prerequisites are considered in SIEMENS scope of work:
5.4
Provisions for working alongside existing underground facilities such as gas pipes, water pipes,
electrical cables, etc. are not included in SIEMENS scope of work. Re-routing of such facilities as
well as for roads including re-routing on a temporary basis are not included in SIEMENS scope of
work.
It is assumed that the Site is neither a wetland nor a water-course or environmentally sensitive area
or a flood endangered area. No measures are included in SIEMENS scope of work for such kind of
areas.
Diversion of existing creeks, rivers and streams at Site or adjacent to Site is not included in
SIEMENS scope of work.
Diversion of existing roads and pathways at SITE or adjacent to SITE is not included in SIEMENS
scope of work.
Protection measures at existing hillside slopes (located adjacent or next to Site, if any) against
avalanches, rock fall, storm water flooding and soil erosion control are not included in SIEMENS
scope of work.
Protection of existing under and above ground services crossing the Site and Site access road is
not included in SIEMENS scope of work.
Setting Out and Survey
The CUSTOMER shall provide the setting out of CUSTOMERs property and Site corners to SIEMENS at
beginning of project execution. The Site survey map shall indicate all corners of the site including coordinates (Gau-Krueger or equivalent) and datum level above e.g. Mean Sea Level MSL or equivalent).
Each corner of the Site shall be marked by suitable property markers and properly secured in position by
CUSTOMER.
Minimum three official bench marks (properly secured) located at the Site shall be provided by CUSTOMER
to SIEMENS at Site Hand Over.

5.5
Topographical Survey
Alternative A:
A topographical survey map has been provided by CUSTOMER to SIEMENS at SIEMENS bid stage. This
map includes following information:
Site Co-ordinates (Gau-Krueger or equivalent) and datum levels (above e.g. Mean Sea Level MSL
or equivalent)
Area of survey: e.g. Site plus a strip of m beyond the Site boundary, along access road
Grid spacing of survey about e.g. 5 meter or less
Contour lines with the contour intervals of 0.50 m or less
Location map (Site Plan) indicating the Site and foreseen access road (if applicable)
Topographical survey map in AUTOCAD format (latest edition)
Out of this topographical survey map the bulk earthworks for the Substation are interpreted by SIEMENS
and are used as basis for SIEMENS scope of work for earthworks, as follows:
Final yard level is defined to be m datum level (Mean Sea Level MSL)
Bulk Earthworks (cut) to be maximum m3
Bulk Earthworks (fill) to be maximum m3
In case SIEMENS topographical survey (to be done at project execution) indicates discrepancies to the
CUSTOMER provided topographical survey and indicates the necessity for additional bulk earthworks (cut &
fill) as assumed above, then SIEMENS reserves the right to adjust the contract schedule and to pass all
additional expenses whether direct or indirect onto CUSTOMER.
Alternative B:
A topographical survey was undertaken by SIEMENS at SIEMENS bid stage.
Out of this topographical survey map the bulk earthworks for the Substation are interpreted by SIEMENS
and are used as basis for SIEMENS scope of work for earthworks, as follows:
Final yard level is defined to be m datum level (Mean Sea Level MSL)
Alternative C:
No topographical survey was provided by CUSTOMER to SIEMENS at SIEMENS bid stage.
Therefore, the following assumptions are made by SIEMENS and are used as basis for SIEMENS scope of
works for earthworks:
In case SIEMENS topographical survey (to be done at project execution) indicates the necessity for
shoulders, embankment / slope protection or retaining walls and additional quantities for cut and fills, then
SIEMENS reserves the right to adjust the contract schedule and to pass all additional expenses whether
direct or indirect onto the CUSTOMER.
5.6
Geotechnical Report
Alternative A:
A geotechnical report was provided by CUSTOMER to SIEMENS at SIEMENS bid stage. This report
includes following information:
Page 8 of 29
File: 266009419.doc
Out of this geotechnical report the soil conditions are interpreted by SIEMENS as follows and are used as
basis for SIEMENS civil design & construction scope or work:
Type of Foundation: Shallow / Piled Foundation
Allowable Soil Bearing Pressure = kN/m
Max Settlements less than cm
Ground water table is minimum m below grading level / final yard level

In case SIEMENS soil investigation (to be done at project execution) indicates the necessity of special
foundation measures due to soft spots or loose pockets, undesirable soil layer, caves or similar as but not
limited to rock excavation, soil improvement, soil exchange, foundation anchorage, pile foundation or
special arrangements, then SIEMENS reserves the right to adjust the contract schedule and to pass all
additional expenses whether direct or indirect onto CUSTOMER.
Alternative B:
No geotechnical report was provided by CUSTOMER to SIEMENS at SIEMENS bid stage.
Therefore, the following soil conditions are assumed by SIEMENS and are used as basis for SIEMENS civil
design & construction scope of work:
Type of Foundation: Shallow Foundation

Non cohesive subsoil (medium dense sandy gravel; stiffness modulus E(s) = > 85MPa; shear
strength () = 35)
Allowable Average Soil Bearing Pressure = 250 kN/m
Max Settlements less than 1,5 cm
No soft spots or loose pockets, undesirable soil layer, caves or similar are existing at the Site
Ground water table is minimum 5 m below final natural ground elevation.
No contaminated ground water
No chemical attack by subsoil or ground water
No soil liquefaction
Natural ground is always stable for all construction vehicles
No existing below ground substructures / services, mines, explosives, chemicals, hazardous
substances or objects, artificial materials located at the construction site
The Site is neither a wetland nor a water-course or environmentally sensitive area or a flood
endangered area.
Retaining walls, vertical slope protection, shoring, planking, strutting and sheet pile walls are not
required. Open pit excavations are considered as most reasonable method.
Site drainage is not required before construction site works commence
Frost depth 1,0 m below final yard level
rock excavation is not required (neither weather rock nor solid rock)
all excavated material is suitable for structural backfill (non-cohesive soil material) without
additional material treatment
no imported material is required neither for structural backfill nor for common backfill
surplus excavated material can be dumped off the Site
all soil material is clean and not contaminated

Page 9 of 29
File: 266009419.doc
foundation measures due to soft spots or loose pockets, swampy or wet areas, undesirable soil layer, caves
or similar as but not limited to rock excavation, soil improvement, soil exchange, foundation anchorage, pile
foundation or special arrangements, etc., then SIEMENS reserves the right to adjust the contract schedule
and to pass all additional expenses whether direct or indirect onto the CUSTOMER.
Alternative C:
Based on the borehole logs provided by CUSTOMER no reasonable and accurate interpretation of the
existing subsoil conditions could be done by SIEMENS at bid stage because of following:
Example Borehole logs: Some contradiction between SPT values and soil descriptions
Example Borehole logs: Some soil descriptions of the borehole logs are missing
Example Essential soil data and soil investigation are missing like: e.g. chemical soil and water
analysis, essential field and laboratory tests to establish physical and engineering properties,
observation and evaluation of ground water levels (min / max / average), soundings, disturbed and
undisturbed soil samples for visual examination and for carrying out laboratory tests on selected
samples to determine the geotechnical engineering properties of the soil, natural moisture content,
Atterberg limits, grain size distribution by sieving (particle size analysis), hydrometer analysis,
proctor tests, bulk and dry density, void ratio, relative density, consolidation tests, swelling test (in
case of swelling soils only), direct shear test at low shear velocity, tri-axial tests and interpretation of
soil investigation including, but not limited to, recommendation on type of foundation for each
building and structure, earthworks, etc.
Therefore, the following soil conditions are assumed by SIEMENS and are used as basis for SIEMENS civil
design & construction scope of work:
Type of Foundation: Shallow Foundation

Non cohesive subsoil (medium dense sandy gravel; stiffness modulus E(s) = > 85MPa; shear
strength () = 35)
Allowable Average Soil Bearing Pressure = 250 kN/m
Max Settlements less than 1,5 cm
No soft spots or loose pockets, undesirable soil layer, caves or similar are existing at the Site
Ground water table is minimum 5 m below final natural ground elevation.
No contaminated subsoil and ground water
No chemical attack by subsoil or ground water
No soil liquefaction
Natural ground is always stable for all construction vehicles
No existing below ground substructures / services, mines, explosives, chemicals, hazardous
substances or objects, artificial materials located at the construction site
The Site is neither a wetland nor a water-course or environmentally sensitive area or a flood
endangered area.
Retaining walls, vertical slope protection, shoring, planking, strutting and sheet pile walls are not
required. Open pit excavations are considered as most reasonable method.
Excavated material can be used as structural backfill (no need for imported material)
Site drainage is not required before construction site works commence
Frost depth 1,0 m below final yard level
foundation measures due to soft spots or loose pockets, swampy or wet areas, undesirable soil layer, caves
or similar as but not limited to rock excavation, soil improvement, soil exchange, foundation anchorage, pile
foundation or special arrangements, then SIEMENS reserves the right to adjust the contract schedule and to
pass all additional expenses whether direct or indirect onto the CUSTOMER.

If neither specified in CUSTOMER specification nor defined elsewhere in SIEMENS documentation, the
project Site elevation / level (e.g. altitude above Mean Sea Level or equivalent) will be chosen by SIEMENS
at the beginning of the project execution. Site terracing may be chosen by SIEMENS in order to minimize
bulk earth movements.
Bulk earthworks as well as earthworks for the Station grounding grid shall be defined by the limits of the Site
perimeter fence plus a 1.0 m wide strip beyond these limits.
Any handling of contaminated soil material is not included in SIEMENS scope of work.
Excavations shall be performed using any method considered suitable and shall allow for the use of the
plant and machinery best suited for the type of excavation and available at the location.
Retaining walls, vertical slope protection, embankment protection, shoring, planking, strutting and sheet pile
walls are not included in SIEMENS tender. SIEMENS proposal includes open pit excavations with
reasonable inclination.

connected to the storm water drainage system of the Substation.
The oil/water separator shall be equipped with a gravity drainage outlet as well as means to prevent
drainage of oil with normal precipitation in the event of an oil discharge and a sump for use in removing oil
with a portable sump pump.
The connection pipe work shall be designed to ensure rapid discharge of oil to the oil/water separator that
together with pipe works and pipe sealing shall be resistant to hot transformer oil.
Miscellaneous
The storm water to be considered in the calculation of pits and separators should be the height of
precipitation per one day (24hours) based on a 25 year storm event (refer to IEEE 980 (1994) clause 7.5).
The oil pit as well as the oil/water separator will be designed to have high resistance against water
penetration (crack width limitation). Floor and wall coating with oil resistant paint is not required if not
otherwise specified CUSTOMER specification.
The foundations and surrounding walls should be designed without expansion joints. In case expansion
joints or construction joints are required from structural point of view the joint sealant shall be water proof as
well as oil proof.
