Tender Overview
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre invites bids for a Preliminary Geo-technical (soil) investigation at stereo Mace site, Thangchungiri, Hanle, Ladakh UT, at an altitude of approximately 4,300–4,500 m. Estimated contract value around ₹820,000. The scope includes mobilization of machinery, drilling two boreholes to 10 meters, soil/rock sampling, groundwater logging, and preliminary reporting with bearing capacity estimation. A key differentiator is the site’s extreme altitude and the requirement for an in-house NABL-accredited laboratory for field and lab tests. Tender requires site familiarization prior to submission and a detailed conceptual cross-section. Bidder must consider potential scope adjustments up to 25% of contract quantity or duration and obtain explicit consent for any expansion.
