3 Project Assessment by Entity:

3.1 What is your opinion regarding As per soil test report ground water table
site, based on your analysis of observed at depth 1.5m to 2.5m depth below
site studies? ground level and chemical analysis of water
sample shows very high chloride and sulphate
content so site environment exposure condition
is very severe. Due to very severe environment
exposure condition, we should take extra care
with respect to detailed design engineering,
materials and construction.
3.2 What special / additional things b) For Structure
would be required to be done for
following components/parks, if As per DPR report maximum depth of water is
site is suitable for Solar project. observed up to 400 mm so minimum clearance
a) For solar panels of the lowest part of module structure shall not
b) For Structure be less than 1m from ground level.
c) For Invertors
d) For Junction boxes Pedestal height shall be kept 450 mm above
e) For DC cables ground level to with stand the flood without
f) For A/C cables corrosion.
g) For Step up Transformers
h) For Foundation of Panels
i) For foundation of Invertors /
Structures Hot dip galvanized thickness shall be provide
proper to prevent from corrosion.

h/i) For foundation of Invertors /

Structures/Panels

As per DPR report maximum depth of water is

observed up to 40cm for some time period.
During this time period whole soil is under
submerged condition. Due to submerged
condition internal friction between pile and soil
will be less. So we shall be provide undreamed
pile for pile shaft should have adequate
structural capacity to with stand all vertical and
axial loads.

Grade beam shall be provide over pile for to

resist differential settlement of pile.

Fusion bond epoxy shall be coated over

reinforcement bars to prevent from corrosion.
Minimum grade of concrete shall be kept 35
Mpa.

Sulphate resistance cement shall be used to

protect from sulphate attack.

Minimum cover shall be kept 50 mm.

3.3 What type of foundation for Under rammed pile foundation shall be
panels do you propose at site? proposed for module mounting structure.
(general sketch without
dimension may be shared)

3.4 What type of foundation for Under rammed pile, foundation shall be
Invertors/Transformers proposed proposed for Invertors/Transformers foundation
at Site? ( general sketch without structure.
dimension may be shared )

3.5 What is your cost estimates (Rs. As compared to other normal site condition
per MW) towards foundation or price of foundation approx. 90 % increase
How much %age of cost
increase do you expect towards
Foundation as compared to
Normal site conditions.
3.6 What is your cost estimates (Rs. As compared to other normal site condition
per MW) towards structures or price of Structure approx. 80 % increase
How much %age of cost
increase do you expect towards
structures as compared to
Normal site conditions.
3.7 Is there any probability of Due to very severe environment exposure,
 increase in cost towards Balance condition construction cost for module mounting
of Plant? structure, road, foundation and any other
structure shall be increased.

Chemical analysis of water sample shows very

high chloride and sulphates making it unsuitable
for concrete mixing, curing and cleaning system
so cost of desalination shall be increased.

3.8 If yes, how much overall % of

Balance of Plant cost is expected
to increase, after covering all
Site related Risk & Risk related
to O & M period?
3.9 What would be the probable
impact on 25 years levelized
tariff ( in terms of %age )
3.1 Do you suggest any further site Topography Survey, Pull out test, Pile load test.
0 specific study / Investigation for
further clarity on site?
3.1 Do you envisage any reduction
1 in life of project due to peculiarity
of site? If so what is expected life
for which PPA should be signed?
