Regarding Building Stability Certificate As Per Rule 3C

Dear all,
I have a doubt regarding Stability certificate from Competent person under rule 3c of Rajasthan factories rules 1951.
we have a hazardous waste management facility in western rajasthan nearby jodhpur, the nature of the work is industrial waste collection, treatment and disposal into a landfill. there is no any sort of manufacturing process it is basically a service sector.
Here my doubt is we have taken permission for total 17 drawings include all landfill, rainwater collection sumps security gates, compound wall and master plan. landfill and some of the sumps are made with HDPE sheet kept in a ground with some depression.
factory inspector telling to take certificate for all drawings by testing by the competent agency who are authorized. they have given quot for 4000/ drawing.
anybody please confirm me whether the stability test is for only buildings or all the plans which was authorized by the factories department.
regards
bapi

Dear Bapi,

I hope the provisions made under Rajastan Factories Rules are the same as that of Maharashtra Factories Rules.

The Stability Certificate focuses on Structural Stability.

I have re-produced the Condition given in Maharashtra Factories Rules to be filled by structural engineers in Form No 1A.

[COLOR="Red"]I Certify that I have inspected the premises, the plans of which have been approved by the chief Inspector in his letter number ............... Dated .........

and examined the various parts including the foundations with special reference to the machinery, plant etc.; that have been installed. I am of the openion that all the works of engineering construction in the premises is/are structurally soundand that its/their, stability will not be en-dangered by its/their use as a Factory / Part of a Factory for the manufacture of ..................... for which the machinery, plant etc. installed are intended.[COLOR="Black"]

My interpretation of the rule is any structure above ground needs to have a stability Certificate, where manufacturing process is being carried out.

To me, the Stability Certificate is not necessary for landfill sites. You can submit Drawings only for the structures above ground and take stability Certificate.

Thanks & Regards,

Sudir,

Yes, Stability Structural certificate is required from the Registered Structural Engineer, who is having a degree in the Structural Engineering and competent enough to give the certificate.

Thank you guys,
but doubt is whether stability is only for buildings in the factory or all the drawings which are approved by factory inspector.

Dear Bapi,
According to me the compound walls and underground water storage tanks do not require stability Certificates. Factories Inspector have not insisted for the same as well in our case.
How ever if the Water Storage tank is over head, it requires a structure for which Stability Certificate is must.
Thanks & Regards,
