This document summarizes the responses to comments on the foundation design calculation and drawings for 56 MW solar power project transformers in Gujarat, India. Key points addressed include:
1. Clarifying that the soak pit is designed for 1/3 of transformer oil capacity per specifications.
2. Increasing the soak pit size to be 1000mm beyond the transformer edge as required.
3. Revising the load calculations to include two transformer walls and use bulk density.
4. Defining finished ground and natural ground levels to ensure alignment with actual site levels.

Refer Technical specification C5- Page 32 Clause 4.0. In
1 On what basis 30% oil of transfromer consideredfor soak pit? case of separate oil pit is provided, soak pit shall be designed for 1/3 of oil capacity of transformer. 500mm beyond transformer extent provided in revised 2 Extra width of pit beyond transformer. calculation. Density of trasformer oil is 0.89 T/m3 , hence the volume is 3 Calcuated for weight area shall be 30.5 cum calculated accordingly. However taken as 30.5 cum in revised calculation. 4 Area of transformer side wall missing Added in revised calculation. Provided volume is much higher than required. Volume of 5 Required volume of Pit higher than provided Oil is 10.07 cum as against 12.24 Cum provided. Y direction is not critical as surface area is less. However 6 Consider Y direction also and calculate wind load and moment now added in revised calculations. 7 Seismic- Please check and revise as per Part 4 of Code. Revised as per Part 4 of IS 1893. 8 Check due to wind in Y-direction. Checked . Wind is not critical. 9 FOS is 1.65 Typographical error. FOS available is higher. Length considered assuming transformer is at edge of wall 10 Length and thickness of Rail wall and 45 Deg dispersion of load. Revised accordingly. Thickness of raft for rail wall is 400mm. COMMENTS ON DRAWING 11 Mark all dimension All relevant dimensions marked in revised drawing 12 Define FGL with NGL FGL considered at =0.0 which shall match with actual RL. 13 Correct section mark XX and YY Corrected. 14 Show further section of rail track foundation Added in revised drawings 15 Rail shall be 52 kg/m Note added in revised drawing.

Oil soak pit below transformer designed for 1/3 capacity of
oil. Considering 40% voids volume required is 10.07 Cum Kindly provide the key plan indicating separate oil collection tank as against provided 15.39Cum. Separate Burnt oil pit is 1 and calculation of capacity of collection tank. designed for full oil capacity + 10mins water Provided volume of tannk = 30.5+25 = 50.5 Cum. Key plan added in drawing. Soak pit size revised as per the clause with 1000mm 2 Please check wrt clause 1.02.20/ B-13 of Tech Specs beyond transformer edge. 3 Calculation of loads: Two walls should be included Corrected 4 Use bulk density for load calculation Loads revised with bulk density 5 Correct total load Total load accordingly revised. Foundation size revised. COMMENTS ON DRAWING 6 MSM layer to be shown on both sides MSM layer shown on both sides Size of foundation and Reinforcement revised as per 7 Hold design FGL considered at =+5.2 m Lvl and top of foundation 8 Define FGL with NGL considered as +5.5 which matches with existing switchyard levels.
