Error Regretted

Kindly refer page 31 (Sl.No.2) of Mooththa Poriyaalar – Sept – Oct. 2012 realting to Er.A.N.Vedachalam, former EE, PWD.

Er.A.N.Vedachalam was not dismissed from service; and he was only criminally prosecuted by the Govt which was stayed by the High Court of Madras and he preferred an appeal against the above prosecution which was now allowed by quashing the prosecution proceedings passed by the GOTN.

The word ‘dismissal’ appeared in this page is based on erroneous memory which is regretted very much.

Improvement in the Training Program on Arbitration Copy of letter addressed to The Engineer-in-Chief, WRO, PWD, Chennai-05. Sir,

Sub : Training Programme in Contract Management and Arbitration- conducted by IMTI during September'12. - Further improvement in the light of observation that "Honest men dread more in arbitration disputes more than they dread in law suits"- suggestions.

Ref : From the Joint Director (Gl), IMTI /RMV/Arbit/2012-13 dt. 06.09.2012 to me. Since, I am retired from service 15 years ago, I was surprised to receive a letter from IMTI, inviting me to deliver lecture on ' Contract management and Arbitration' for SLOs and MLOs at IMTI. My last assignment was to speak on legal issues in the workshop on "IAMWARM- Project Implementation and Arbitration Issues' held at Tiruchi on 14.07.07 presided over by Hon'ble Minister for works and key note address delivered by'Secretary to Govt. Er. R. Manivannan, Research Associate explained about the concern expressed by the Engineer-in- Chief about the disturbing trends in arbitration awards and about the need for review of the whole matter for guidance to all. Hence, I felt that I should also co-operate to the extent possible, prepared an extensive note running into 24 pages and made available valuable back records as enclosure running in to 68 pages and delivered the lecture. The lecture'notes explain the gap between official interpretation and legal interpretation and what went wrong in conducting the defence of the dept. I am enclosing a copy of the same for information of Engineer-in-Chief, so that it should reach larger circulation.

2. Though many participants appreciated, I have my own suspicion as to how many of them, will have immediate chance to deal with such issues. Many are quite new to the subject and many are not sure that they will be posted immediately to deal with such issues. The arbitration is not merely a disturbing trend, as we politely call it. The Supreme Court has noted on record by quoting "Robertson's history that " Honest men dread arbitration more than they dread law suits" vide para-22 of Delhi High Court's judgment in OMP. No. 144/2003 dt. 20.08.2008 reported in 2008 (3) Arb. LR.456(Delhi). Therefore, there need be no hesitation to call the spade as spade and critically analyse all the awards that went against the Govt and identify the areas where the department should concentrate. For example, my lecture notes explains as to how, I called a case as legal trap and proved that the arbitrator has committed legal misconduct vide notes on SIPCOT's litigation at para-16.4, 16.5 (a) to (e) at pages 18' to 20 of lecture notes enclosed.

3. While considering the extension of training to all, by cadre wise, as is usual, I am particular that SEs and EEs who have to defend the litigations, the Dy. SEs, HDDs, or AEEs and any Draughting Officers who are actually dealing with such files in the offices of CEs, SEs, EEs, are deputed to the training with instructions to present a note on the awards dealt and the problems faced in their offices. This will help to deal with the issues actually met with. Encl: copy of notes Yours sincerely,

(N.Sethuramaswami

PARAMBIKULAM ALIYAR PROJECT (PAP) A part of Coimbatore district lying on the leeward side of Western ghats in a dry arid region with meager rainfall and has no natural resources sufficient for vast stretch of parched soil. The Government had decided to divert some of the west flowing rivers and use 30500 Mcft (9000 Mcft Nirar, 2500 Mcft from Sholayar and 2.5 TMC from Anamalayar. In harnessing Anamalayar, a separate agreement had to be entered with Kerala Government. The ryots of the project ayacut grow millets, groundnut and cotton with rainwater. Therefore 240000 acres or 97000 hectares was designed for a dry and prefer wet crops limited to 20%. The Govt. with the concurrence of Kerala Government took up this project as a multipurpose and multivalley project. 7 rivers, five on the Anamalais and 2 on the plain.

Rejoinder to Times of India regarding Alandur Court Complex begins to leak 1. This rejoinder is w.r.t your news report published in TOI/Chennai Metro Edition on October

23, 2012 under the caption”Alandur court complex begins to leak again” (page2) intimating that the building which was opened in July 2011 and repaired for arresting the leakage of rainwater in October 2011 shows the deficiency of work carried out by the TNPWD (Buildings Branch). It is true that this kind of sorry state of affairs (both construction and maintenance aspects)prevails in the Buildings Branch of PWD headed by the Engineer-In-Chief(Buildings) and the Chief Engineer Buildings(Chennai Region)PWD who also holds the portfolio of the Chief Engineer (General) looking after the entire administration of all staff in PWD

2. In this connection, as the State Secretary of TNPWD Senior Engineers Association, a former Special Chief Engineer TNPWD and also presently practicing as Building Structural consultant having 45years experience and expertise in buildings desires to inform you the following for kind publication in TOI.

2.1 Faulty, very old Engineering specifications for topping the terrace of the building, poor quality of construction materials(pressed tiles, clay burnt bricks, in-appropriate use of cement mix mortar ratio) , bad construction practice in fixing terrace top level to the bottom of rainwater downfall pipes, use of bonding solution for jointing the PVC water pipes and Inadequate technical supervision of these works due to want of required field staff are the main reasons of leaky terrace, dampness in walls and toilet and totally in sufficient allocation of funds for upkeep and maintenance works by the stingy Finance Department of GOTN.

2.2 TNPWD Standard specification for terrace topping reads as follows S.I.279 Terrace flooring with one course of pressed tiles 20cmx20cmx 20mm using cement mortar (1:3) mixed with crude oil 10% by weight of cement and pointed with same oiled mortar”


Here the pressed tiles are clay-burnt moulded ones with 2% to 10% un burnt top surface causing absorption of rainwater pot holes and leaking through the bottom laid brick jelly – lime mixed weathering course. Similarly the cement mortar 1:3 using OPC cement is rich mortar mixed joints(pointing)cracking and opening of joints due to higher shrinkage leading to the opening of joints between the pressed tiles and causing leakage of rain water, being both are villains for the terrace.

2.3 We have been advocating the use of combination mortar1:2:9(one part PPC cement, two parts of lime and nine parts of sand) as sub base and laying hydraulic pressed ordinary grey coloured mosaic tiles with tile grout for bonding which totally prevents the seepage/leakage of rain water since combination mortar mix 1:2;9 not only provides better thermal comfort but also completely arrests cracking due to the lowest shrinkage and the cost is also very comparable considering its serviceability(our suggestion is not at all cared and not adopted by TNPWD)

3.1 Secondly the standard specification for the construction of walls reads as given below “S.I No.168 & S.I. No. 177 Brickwork in cement mortar 1:5(for load bearing)/in cement mortar 1:6(for non load bearing walls) using I class/using class II or III bricks/also country bricks of size 9”x 43/8”x 23/4”) for superstructure”

3.2 Here also mostly II class/ III class country bricks used in the construction is one of very poor quality and strength (compressive strength 35kg/sq.cm to 50kg/sq.cm). Instead Fly ash bricks now available everywhere having strength up to 70 to 80 kg/sq.cm which are 5%to 10% less cost and dimensional stability do not allow the seepage of rain water, double the strength causing 25% cement mortar savings in plastering the walled surfaces.

4. Since the TNPWD standard specification, data and schedule of rates are mostly obsolete, and not high quality oriented, we have suggested the complete adaption of CPWD standard specifications, data and yearly schedule of rates for construction works since they are constantly updated and quality upgraded, besides which facilitates elimination of discrimination between GOI and GOTN works in rates and quality. We have informed the higher ups of PWD on this matter from time to time but in vain.

5. The Hon’ble CM of GOTN is very much keen in updating, upgrading our specifications and quality to international standards and hence it is firmly believed that things may change for better, if the same is brought to her kind notice by TOI.

6. The Finance Department and certain top levels of PWD buildings must be made responsible and accountable to these type of deficiencies in construction works due to their anachronistic outlook, lowest rate acceptance (L1) practice and absence of Engg updating and technical bent of mind.

7. Our TNPWD Senior Engineers Association is always at the disposal of Govt and Public in maintaining good quality of work with updated and upgraded construction techniques and expert’s opinion in assisting the Engineers as and when required.

With Regards, Er.A.Veerappan State secretary/TANSEA
