Major Structural Repairs

Entire yard is overgrown with rack vegetation. Hence there is a need for its removal and keeps the area free from it. The sides of Mantapa walls are covered with all sorts of rubbish earth etc. dumped by the adjoining houses and hotel. It is presumed that the Mantapa is standing on its basement mouldings. In order to transfer all the original features of Mantapa, in full, provision has been made to expose the entire structure for preparing detailed place and number the members. The numbering of members in different columns for taking up the proposed work has to be done. Preparing scale drawings in detail for record and which will be helpful in transplanting process for maintaining its originality.

There is a shelter to the south of Mantapa constructed by panchayat for the public to sit; unless this is removed, there is no way for moving the structural parts to the other side, hence provision has been made for its removal. Removal of concrete over roof and the structural members, carefully by providing cushion inside Mantapa, to prevent any damage even it falls without any notice. Shifting of dismantled members from the spot towards Roadside. Loading, unloading and transporting them to rudset complex in Mysore by Lorry. Provisions are also made to give cushion in between members to avoid any damages. Apart from the above, drawings will be prepared stating the details of structural members available on the stacks for easy identification. Provision is also made to fill the cresses either with sand or saw dust or paddy Husk to avoid any housing of reptiles in the joints.

In case the construction & transplanting work is delayed considerably by some reason or the other, every possibility of provided letters are being faded out and making the transplanting work, a problem. In order to retain the numbers permanently on the members, it is proposed to chisel them and filled with paint after they unloaded at rudset before keeping them in stacks. In order to take the Mantapa members from spot to roadside for loading the existing panchayat bus shelter, they have to be dismantled. [Since there is no alternative]. After the entire transport of members is over, the facility, which was available, has to be restored back. Provision has been made for the construction of a bus shelter. However a detailed drawing and its cost, etc., will be furnished and sanction will be obtained before construction is taken up.

After removal of the Mantapa members, including the hidden one in the ground, the area will have trenches. Provision has been made for filling them with available earth and to level the area to form neatly and will be handed to the owner concerned in a good order. Leaving the stacks of structural members in open ground is not safe and liable for meddling all persons moving around. Hence for the safety of these members, it is proposed to fence the entire stacks with barbed wire of 5 to 6 rows with stone pillars fixed at interval of 3 meter (or 10ft) with a gate in one corner. Since the area required for stacking cannot be assessed now, only token provision has been made in the estimate for attending the work. However, before executing the same, full details will be furnished and the same will be obtained.

Since the work of dismantling, transplanting and unloading works are to be done simultaneously, each place requires a supervisor in order to carry work properly and also to make the rolls etc. In addition to these 2 persons, a responsible person should accompany the Lorry carrying the members. As such provision is made to have one or more supervisor for a period of 3 months only. Proper photographic documentation along with video shootings of structures in action has to be done. For dismantling work, some wooden poles, minor tools, implements are required. The specifications furnished in the estimate itself are explanatory. Accordingly token provisions are made. During the course execution of works, we may have to carry out some work, which are not anticipated and also had to be attended. Provision has been made by keeping some amount meant for these kind of works.
