The Supplier shall submit all drawings, documents and type test reports for approval in sufficient time to permit
modifications to be made if such are deemed necessary and re-submit them for approval without delaying the initial
deliveries or completion of the Contract. The Purchaser’s representative shall endeavour to return them within a
period of four weeks from the date of receipt.
Three copies of all drawings shall be submitted for approval and three copies for any subsequent revision. The
Purchaser reserves the right to request any further additional information that may be considered necessary in
order to fully review the drawings. If the Purchaser is satisfied with the drawing, one copy will be returned to the
Supplier marked with “Approved” stamp. If the Purchaser is not totally satisfied with the drawing, then “Approved
Subject to Comment” status will be given to it and a comment sheet will be sent to the Supplier. If the drawing
submitted does not comply with the requirements of the Specification then it will be given “Not Approved” status
and a comment sheet will be sent to the Supplier. In both these cases the Supplier will have to modify the drawing,
update the revision column and resubmit for final approval. Following approval, twenty copies of the final drawings
will be required by the Purchaser.
Any drawing or document submitted for information only should be indicated as such by the Supplier. Drawings
and documents submitted for information only will not be returned to the Supplier unless the Purchaser considers
that such drawing needs to be approved, in which case they will be returned suitably stamped with comments.
The Supplier shall be responsible for any discrepancies or errors in or omissions from the drawings, whether such
drawings have been approved or not by the Purchaser. Approval given by the Purchaser to any drawing shall not
relieve the Supplier from his liability to complete Contract works in accordance with this specification and the
condition of Contract nor exonerate him from any of his guarantees.
If the Supplier needs approval of any drawing within a period of less than four weeks in order to avoid delay in the
completion of supply, he shall advise the Purchaser when submitting the drawings and provide an explanation of
the document’s late submission. The Purchaser will endeavour to comply with the Contractors time scale, but this
cannot be guaranteed.

zinc coating shall be smooth, continuous and uniform. It shall be free from acid spots and shall not scale, blister or
be removable by handling or packing. There shall be no impurities in the zinc or additives to the galvanic bath
which could have a detrimental effect on the durability of the zinc coating.

grease, paint, varnish, oil, welding slag and foreign bodies completely removed. All protuberances which would
affect the life of galvanising shall also be removed.
The weight of zinc deposited shall be in accordance with BS 729 and shall not be less than 0.61kg/m2

not be used for cleaning the threads unless specifically approved by the Purchaser. All nuts shall be galvanised.
The threads of nuts shall be cleaned with a tap and the threads oiled.
Partial immersion of the work shall not be permitted and the galvanising tank must therefore be sufficiently large to
permit galvanising to be carried out by one immersion.
After galvanising no drilling or welding shall be performed on the galvanised parts of the equipment excepting that
nuts may be threaded after galvanising.
To avoid the formation of white rust, galvanised material shall be stacked during transport and stored in such a
manner as to permit adequate ventilation. Sodium dichromate treatment shall be provided to avoid formation of
white rust after hot dip galvanisation.
The galvanisation shall be subjected to tests as per IS: 2633 and BS: 729.

All ferrous bolts, nuts, and washers placed in outdoor positions shall be treated to prevent corrosion, by hot dip
galvanising, except high tensile steel bolts and spring washers which shall be electro-galvanised to service
condition four. Appropriate precautions shall be taken to prevent electrolytic action between dissimilar metals.
Where bolts are used on external horizontal surfaces and where water can collect, methods of preventing the
ingress of moisture to the threads shall be provided.
