Question

What is standard distance of lift?
A) 1.5 m B)2 m C)3 m D) 4 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is Option A

Explanation

• 'Lift' is the vertical distance calculated from the ground level up to which the labourers have to excavate the soil and remove it for the standard rate.
• - It is the general practice or thumb rule to consider lift as $1.5 \mathrm{~m} .$
• - In case of more depth, the lift will be more, and hence the rate of removing it will be more.

Additional Information

• Lead: it is the horizontal distance up to which the excavated earth will be carried or transported on the ground from the source to the place of spreading.
• The general lead considered is $50 \mathrm{~m}$ for a distance up to $500 \mathrm{~m}$and shall be measured separately. It means that it is measured for a distance per $50 \mathrm{~m}$.
• If it exceeds further then a separate rate is applied.
• A table for lead distance is provided for a better understanding
