1. INTRODUCTION
This method statement describes in brief the broad sequence and method of
construction of six lane elevated structure of length 3.6 km covering central
built up Panipat Section including Gohana road crossing, Sanauli road
crossing, bus stand and skylark tourist complex on BOT basis.
This Method Statement shall be read in conjunction with our construction
methodology drawings attached in Appendix A of this booklet.

2. ASSUMPTIONS
Following assumptions have been made to arriving at this methodology:
Pier for elevated structure will be cast in single pour.
The safe Bearing Capacity of soil is considered as 10 t/Sqm for the
casting yard area.
The density of reinforced cement concrete considered as 2500 kg /
cu.m.

5. MATERIALS
5.1. Concrete: Concrete for the entire works will be supplied from captive
batching plants strategically located. Alternatively concrete will be
sourced from approved RMC plants. Materials used in the concrete will
be tested to check their conformity to project specification / standards.
Concrete will be transported from plant to the work place in transit
mixtures. Admixtures will be used with the prior approval of the engineer.
Temperature of the concrete will be maintained as per the specifications
/ standards.

6. ELEVATED STRUCTURE
General and Structural Arrangement:
The Elevated Structure starts at a chainage Km 88+760 and ends at Km
91+819. The structure consists of continuous deck structure supported on
single column piers founded on pile foundations. The total length of structure
has been divided in to six segments as follows:
S.No

The deck of the structure is designed to cater for three lanes of traffic in each
direction with two separate decks. The carriageways are separated by
median of 1.2m in the elevated structure. The elevated structure comprises
multispan deck slab on precast pretensioned girders (span varies 27m to
31m) supported on single rectangular / square type piers and abutment twin
columns resting on pile foundations.

7. CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
7.1. Survey and Layout of Elevated structure:
The survey works for approaches will start with setting out of grids and
marking the existing ground features for the entire stretch of elevated
structure. Pier locations and bench marks for the regular survey will be fixed,
and the benchmarks will be cross-checked by closing the traverse and
ascertain the accuracy of bench marks. The survey pillars will be established
at convinent locations.
7.2. Soil Investigation:
Ground investigation if required will be carried out as per relevant codes. It is
proposed to deploy rotary type of drilling rigs for drilling the bores of 150mm
diameter using temporary casings.
The method of advancement and diameter of the bore will be such that the
boring will be completed and logged to the scheduled depth, and samples of
the specified materials will be obtained, in situ testing will be carried out as
required. In locations where water table is penetrated and disturbance of soil
is likely, positive hydraulic head will be maintained in the bore.
While the bore progresses, the sampling frequency and the type of samples
will be obtained as per the requirements. While drilling in the bore hole is in
progress the change in soil strata, colour of water, rate of penetration of the
drilling rod, starting and completion of each run, any water loss, side
collapsing etc. will be recorded and details furnished. All samples will contain
the full details of the location of bore, depth at which recovered etc. The
samples of soil collected from the bore hole will be packed in sealed packets
and sent to soil laboratory for tests.

The PSC Girders will be cast in respective beds and once the casting is
completed, the strands will be distressed and the girders will be shifted to
stacking yard. The stacking of girders will be done in two tyres as shown in
our drawing O5086-Q-BR-CM-GA-0044.
The I-Girders from the stacking yard will be shifted to erection location by
long bedded trailers.

overflow to at least 1m above the cut off level. The tremmie pipes and
temporary casing will be removed in stages as the concrete builds up in the
pile. The tremmie will be inside concrete by minimum 1.5m at all the times till
end of concrete.
The pile load test will be carried out at location specified by client.

7.6. Pier
Fixing of Reinforcement : After casting
the pile cap & starter for the pier, the
reinforcement for the pier shall be placed
& tied. All reinforcement will confirm to
the requirement of the specifications and
as shown in the approved drawings / bar
bending schedule. The prefabricated
renforcement cage will be kept in
position with the help of crane. The cage
will be aligned and firmly tied to the
dowels already left in starter with binding
wire.
Fixing of Formwork :
depending on the height of pier. Inside surfaces of the forms will be coated
with approved release agent. The form work consists of shutters made of
steel plates and supported by
horizontal and vertical steel
walers. The vertical walers are
supported by inclined props for
alignment control and in turn
fixed

the
anchor

location. At the erection location the girders will be lifted from trailers and
placed in its location on pier by gantries. The necessary supporting brackets
for supporting the I Girders will be provided from the pier cap. The scheme
for I Girder erection using gantry is shown in our drawing no: O5086-Q-BRCM-GA-0101.

8. CURING
Concrete will be cured by ponding on horizontal surfaces and by continuous
water sprinkling with nozzle for vertical surfaces. Water used for curing will be
free of any deleterious materials.
