8.3 Structures & Other Encumbrances
Identified structures and encroachments along the alignment shall be removed by the
contractor under instructions from the Engineer In-charge.
9.0 Pile Installation
9.1 Formation of Pile bores
Pile bores up to the specified depth shall be executed by rotary drilling method. The pile
location shall be marked on the ground using wooden peg, 15-20 cm long. The
impression of the boring tool is made on around the point and the rig is correctly aligned
to the impression. On aligning the rig, boring shall be carried out to the required depth
and then MS liner of suitable length shall be placed in the pit concentric to the pile point.
The liner is then pressed inside with the arrangements available in the rotary rig. Material
inside the casing liner shall be removed progressively by the rig with the auger or bucket
tool. Thereafter the rotary drilling rig shall continue by continues supply prepared
Polymer slurry of desired pH and specific gravity into the bore hole with the help of
pump which is connected to the Polymer tank. Polymer slurry added to ensure the
stability of bore hole. The drilling operation will continue till the desired founding level.
The muck removed from the bore shall be disposed away from the site at approved
dumping location identified jointly with DMRC.
9.2 PILLING ACROSS RIVER YAMUNA
As per Employers requirement VOLUME 3 clause no 2.1.4
Provision of suitably designed pile foundations for piers in accordance with actual soil
parameters as obtained from detailed sub surface exploration as required or as directed.
All foundation shall be on piles of minimum 1800 mm dia. with minimum 8mm thick
permanent MS liners as per requirements, for complete pile length above hard/ rocky
Page 12 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
strata duly anchored as per Codal provisions. All piles shall be cast-in-situ piles bored
by hydraulic rotary rig only.
9.3 Stabilizing the bore hole:
9.3.1Water supply
An appropriate supply of water/or water tank must always be available.
9.3.2Positive Head Pressure
A minimum of 3 meters of polymer slurry pressure head should always be maintained
above the water table.
9.3.3The mixing tank
The mixing tank shall be installed taking into consideration the slurry needs for constant
agitation. This can be achieved by dedicating a pump and compressed air system to the
mixing tank. It is recommended to use piston pumps in place of centrifugal pumps for
best results.
In order to allow faster hydration of the polymer, a metallic splash plate should be
welded directly underneath the flow of water directed into the tank and inclined
approximately 45 degrees.
If the water flow of the slurry’s agitation is insufficient versus the rate of addition of the
dry polymer granulate, the formation of inert agglomerates will occur, thus resulting in a
higher consumption than initially expected.
The capacity of the storage should be taken into consideration the excavation’s volume
and pretended production rates preferably exceeding it 1.5 times.
9.3.4Storage, Sedimentation tanks and slurry plant schematic
Storage of slurry can be made in tanks having adequate capacity.
It is recommended that sedimentation tank shall be open on top to allow an easy cleaning
and removal of sediments. The inclusion of two deflective plates will assure the
continuous flow of the slurry in a “cascade” like mode, increasing the speed of
sedimentation occurring between different compartments or sections. This design causes
Page 13 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
a significant increase of the sedimentation process. The inlet valve shall be directed to the
top of the first deflective plate. Both valves should be placed at the same height from the
top of the deflective plates.
The installation of slurry plant must allow all operations to be carried out at the same
time Mixing, sending and receiving slurry without interfering with production rate.
The sedimentation tanks are extremely important in the returning slurry’s self – cleaning
process by sedimentation and must be incorporated in a slurry plant.
9.3.5Description and usage of polymer
• Synthetic dry granular biodegradable polymer should be mixed with water at an
initial rate of 1 kg per cubic meter, which may be increased or decreased as per
requirements at site to aid proper stabilization of bore.
• Before adding polymer, the water pH should be adjusted to 8 to 11. For a correct
adjustment of the water’s pH, it is advisable that the usage of Sodium Hydroxide or
Potassium Hydroxide in a concentration of 45 to 50% in a rate of 1 liter per M 3 of water. If
purchased in dry flakes the correct amount is 0.5 Kg per M3.
• With the initial recommended dosage and after previous treatment of the water’s
pH the viscosity will be between 60 to 70 seconds per liter (API Marsh Funnel). Based on
site experience , the slurry’s viscosity should always be maintained greater than 55
seconds for best results which may be identified and changed as per requirements at site.
Polymer maintains its properties through time provided that is not exposed to high
concentrations of chemical contaminants, such as calcium carbonates, magnesium,
calcium and chlorine amongst others.
• The values above were calculated considering the usage of an adequate mixing tank.
Whenever the usage of tanks is not possible, with direct mixing at the excavation, the
required dosage may be higher with no harm whatsoever to product’s best performance.
Page 14 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
• It is recommended that whenever possible the mixing should be preferably done in

a proper mixing tank. However, depending on general circumstances such as lack of
space or soil conditions, it may be necessary to add polymer directly at the excavation.
The application this method has several advantages like increased slurry viscosity and an
overall stabilization of the formation helping to prevent fluid loss and improving the
slurry’s performance.
9.3.6Technical specification and key slurry properties to be monitored
Viscosity
The viscosity of polymer should be maintained 34-143 seconds per liter as per Outline
Construction specification clause 8.1.4. It is also recommended that the slurry’s viscosity
should always be maintained greater than 55 seconds for best results which may be
adjusted suitably for site conditions in order to stabilize the bore.
pH.
For best performance, pH should always be kept between 8 and 11. Under no
circumstances should the pH of the slurry be lower than 8 and higher than 11. If it exceeds
above 11 pH it may damage the molecular structure of polymer leading to harm
performance of polymer. Continuous monitoring of pH is extremely important since it is
slurry’s only protection against chemical or contaminants in general.
Specific weight or Density
The specific density in a slurry mix is 1.025 g/cc max.
Sand Content
Specification in sampling from the excavation is usually equal or inferior to 1.0%.
Sand content should be checked prior to placing the reinforcement cage or whenever
specified by project.
Page 15 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
Sampling Procedure
The sampler must be able to retrieve the samples. The samples shall be collected from
bottom , middle & end point of pile and tested for viscosity, density, pH and sand
content. A sample shall be collected after rebar cage setting.
9.3.7 Slurry specification for pile

9.3.8 Preparation of Polymer Slurry.

Polymer slurry will be produced using a synthetic dry granular/ powder biodegradable
polymer which when mixed with water an initial rate of 1 kg per Cum forms a slurry
Page 16 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
suitable for soil stabilization in cohesive and non-cohesive soils. The dosage may change as
per site requirements.
If the water of the soil has chemical contaminants it may be required add Sodium
Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide to precipitate salts in solution. Additional polymer
may also be required to add directly at the excavation assures soil stabilization.
The values above are calculated considering the usage of an adequate mixing tank and
positive displacement pumps. Direct mixing at the excavation is recommended for
viscosity adjustment in the slurry column while drilling. The mixing should preferably be
done in mixing tank. The polymer slurry is than pumped using a diaphragm/piston pump
to the excavated bored pile location.
• Pump out the water from top to the mixing tank, leaving the last 50 cm. Last 50 cm
water shall be disposed off.
• The sediments deposited in bottom shall be disposed off.
• If the water with the referred concentration is used without pre-treatment, polymer
consumption will be high.
• Upon concrete pouring to an excavation the slurry shall be retrieved passing
through a sedimentation tank. This prevents particles carrying to the storage tanks
or mixing tanks. Further it prevents the slurry cycle from contamination.
The polymer slurry circulation arrangement as shown at attached Figure-1.

performed on 75% of piles of Pile group.
9.5 Rotary Drilling Method

The mechanism involved in the machine is rotary drilling using hydraulic feed. Boring is
carried out to the required depth using suitable auger attached to the telescopic Kelly bar.
A bucket tool attached to the Kelly is used for mucking operation and a rock auger and
barrel is used for boring into rocky strata/ Hard Strata.
As a general guideline, size of cutting tool shall in no case be less than the diameter of the
pile minus 75mm. However the size of cutting tool shall be chosen by contractor
depending on the type of substrata and equipment employed by contractor so that
executable pile shall not have diameter less than nominal diameter of pile as specified in
drawing.
Page 20 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
9.6 Final post bore cleaning

The bottom of pile bore shall be cleaned of all loose materials with a cleaning bucket. The
final depth shall be checked with a sounding chain.
9.7 Sonic tube installation

• Install a bottom cap onto the first sonic tube.
• Fix the sonic tube to the rebar cage by trying the steel wire around the fixing
ears and tube.
• Fix the next tube to the rebar cage as the step 2.
• Push the two tubes together. (Push –fit mark to ensure full engagement).
• Ensure both ears are aligned. Then connect tightly the ears of both tubes with a
steel wire.
• Repeat the process above till all tubes is installed.
9.8 Placement of reinforcement cage

After ensuring the depth of the bore, pre-fabricated reinforcement cage as per the
approved drawing shall be lowered. The rebar cage shall be lowered into the bore by
gravity only, either with the rig or by crane. The lifting plan and other related documents
will be submitted prior to any lifting activity with help of crane. For piles requiring
multiple length of rebar cages, the first length of cage shall be lowered into the bore by
gravity only, either with the rig or by crane and is placed in position, lapped/joined in
place and then cage is lowered. The laps shall be welded (at location/in-situ) or joined
Page 21 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
with couplers before lowering. After lowering of the cage, tremie pipe shall be lowered
and it should be water tight with minimum diameter of 200mm.
9.9 Flushing Operation
Before the concreting starts the bore shall be flushed with fresh polymer suspension and
bore shall be covered with proper covering arrangement Immediately .Lowering of the
cage, tremie pipes of minimum 200/250 mm dia of suitable length are jointed together
and lowered into the the bore and the polymer shall be pumped through the tremie pipe.
Fresh polymer is pumped into pile bore through the tremie pipe & returned
contaminated polymer is collected at ground level and same is recycled through polymer
tank kept at ground level. Flushing shall be continued density of return mud is less than
1.2gm/cc. The polymer slurry collected during the flushing operation shall be collected in
the compartments of the vat.
9.10 Pile Concreting
Pile concreting shall be done using tremmie pipe method. Generally, each tremmie pipe
length is 1 to 2 meters & The vacuum distance between the bottom tip of pile and
foundation level of pile is 300mm. Only fresh batched concrete shall be used, and the
concreting has to be done continuously without interruption.
Tremmie pipe concreting shall be done as per IS: 456 and IS: 2911 (Part-I/Sec-2) using a
pipe of minimum 200mm diameter. The steel hopper at the top shall have a volume
greater that the tremmie pipe volume. A suitable steel stopper at the neck of the hopper
which can be withdrawn with least resistance or a sliding plug can be used. The hopper
and pipe shall be clean of encrusted concrete, dust, debris etc., and shall be watertight.
Concrete placing into the hopper shall be facilitated using suitable ramps for direct pour
from the transit mixers. In case of inaccessible locations, concrete can alternatively be
placed into the hopper by concrete pump. The hopper shall be filled with concrete
completely and then the stopper plate is removed to allow the concrete to flow into the
pipe. Subsequent charges of concrete shall be maintained continuous as required till the
Page 22 of 30
LONGJIAN-KEC (JV)
pile bore is cast to the specified height. The bottom of tremmie pipe shall always be inside
concrete forming watertight system. The tip shall be minimum 1.5metres inside concrete
depending upon rate of pouring concrete. The tremmie pipe shall be withdrawn in stages
as and when concrete builds up in the bore. Care shall be taken when vertical movement
is imparted on tremmie pipe to force concrete down into the pipe and when tremmie pipe
is raised so that the rebar cage is not disturbed from its position.
In Case of concrete being placed by tremmie method and pile cut off level less than
1.0 meter below the found level, concrete shall be cast to the piling platform level
to the permit over flow of the concrete for visual inspection. In case COL of pile Is
more than 1.0 meter below working level then concrete shall be casted to a
minimum of one meter above COL/COL to be mentioned in approved drawing.
Entire concrete pouring process should be completed within two hours.
Concrete slump should be maintained 150 to 180 (as per clause no 7.3.2 of IS 2911
Part 1/sec 1:2010) at time of concrete pouring.
The time interval between the completion of boring and placing of concrete shall
not exceed 6 Hours.
9.11 Installation Records
Detailed pile installation records in duplicate for each pile installed shall be maintained.
The details of the record shall include among others, pile number, coordinates, pile size,
pile elevation, pile cut-off, ground level, pile bore data (such as length of liner, boring

10. Environmental Impact

Synthetic polymer is biodegradable and non-pollutant or harmful to the environment.
There are several methods for treatment of polymer slurries after usage. The most
common is perhaps the treatment with Calcium Hypochlorite and Muriatic acid. The
treatment neutralizes the pH levels, eliminating the system, turning the slurry into
residual water. This procedure is applied only once at the end of the project, unless
otherwise users decides to re-use the slurry in another project or location.
The acid is used to neutralize alkaline ph.. Quantities to be applied vary from 3 to 5 liters
per M3 of slurry. The tanks must be agitated when this product is added.
The Calcium Hypochlorite is available in the market in granular form and different
concentrations. The ideal concentration for this process ranges 60-70 %. The quantities to
be used vary from 0.1-0.5 kg per M3 of slurry by adding the product directly to the slurry
after neutralizing the ph. The result is the transformation of the slurry in “residue water”.
The term “residue water” is used to best describe the sediment fines and soil particles
previously in suspension.
The product resultant from this treatment can be directly discharged without any danger
of contamination, to the environment of sewerage systems accordingly to local laws.
11.0 Tolerances
(a) Angular Deviation from vertical : 1.5% of vertical pile
(b) Piles should not deviate more than 75mm or D/6 whichever is less (75mm or D/10
which ever is more in Case of piles having diameter more than 600mm) from their
designed positions at the working level. In case of single pile under a column the
positional deviation should not be more than 50mm or D/6 whichever is less (100mm in
