For Jal Jeevan Mission and municipal water schemes
RA bill software for pipeline contractors
Bill pipe by diameter and class, trench by soil type and tap connections by habitation, each entry with its chainage and photo.
Running metre by diameter and class
Each pipe item is set up from the BOQ by material, diameter and class. Site engineers record chainage from and to, with photos along the line.
- DI and HDPE lines in one work order
- Part rate until the pressure test is attached
| Pipe | Previous | This bill | Up to date |
|---|---|---|---|
| DI K7, 150 mm | 3,260.00 | 1,240.00 | 4,500.00 |
| DI K7, 200 mm | 1,980.00 | 860.00 | 2,840.00 |
| HDPE PE100 PN6, 110 mm | 6,410.50 | 2,315.50 | 8,726.00 |
| HDPE PE100 PN8, 90 mm | 8,120.00 | 3,420.00 | 11,540.00 |
Trench excavation by soil type
One trench, measured once, split by the strata met along the line. Ordinary soil, hard murum and soft rock bill at their own rates.
| Soil type | L m | B m | D m | Qty cum |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ordinary soil | 1,030.00 | 0.75 | 1.20 | 927.00 |
| Hard murum | 860.00 | 0.75 | 1.20 | 774.00 |
| Soft rock | 210.00 | 0.75 | 1.20 | 189.00 |
Tap connections by habitation
Connections are counted against each habitation's household list, with a photo of every tap.
- Household list
Imported per habitation from the scheme's survey.
427 nos - Connected
Each tap recorded with its photo and location.
390 nos - Still to connect
Households on the list with no tap yet.
37 nos
| Habitation | On list | Connected | Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gaothan | 236 | 214 | 22 |
| Wadi 1 | 92 | 86 | 6 |
| Wadi 2 | 58 | 52 | 6 |
| Mali vasti | 41 | 38 | 3 |
Questions
What water supply and pipeline contractors ask before they move a scheme.
Does it work for Jal Jeevan Mission schemes?
Yes. Pipe, trench, connections and structures are measured the way the scheme bills them, in the state department's format.
Can pipe bill before the pressure test?
Yes, at a part rate you set. The balance bills at full rate once the test record is attached to that stretch.
What about pipes the department supplies?
Issued pipes are entered once and reconciled against the length laid on every bill, so the recovery is never missed.
Can one trench run through mixed soil?
Yes. Record the trench by chainage and split it by the strata met. Each soil type bills at its own rate.
How are structures like the ESR billed?
By the stages your contract names, such as foundation, staging and container, or by measured items, as the BOQ sets out.
