2 Secant Pile Wall

1.2 General
A secant pile wall shoring system is proposed as shown below:

No. 0f Piles 42 36
LM of Shoring 34.0 m 28.50

2.2 Location and Protection of existing services by Main Contractor

All the underground falling in line with the shoring system will be located by carrying out trial
trenches upto approx. 2.0 m below ground level. If any underground services are found to be
clashing with the line of shoring then the Engineer shall be informed for further instructions.

2.2.1 Working platform by Main Contractor

The existing ground level on site is at +5.50 m. General excavation and leveling of the site
will be made to prepare the working platform level.

2.2.2 Survey works by Shoring Contractor

A qualified Surveyor will carry out setting out surveying works. The Surveyor will transfer the
demarcation points to minimum (2 nos.) reference points at each corner point. The plot line
and building line will be marked and the shoring line will be established as per the approved
shop drawing. Facilities will be provided to the Engineer for checking the points.

2.2.3 Construction Sequence

We propose a 1000 mm diameter cantilever secant pipe wall @ 800 mm c/c. The procedure
for the construction of secant pile wall, with temporary casing under suitable drilling fluid /
water comprises the following key elements.
2.1 Installation of guide wall
2.2 Installation of temporary casing
2.3 Drilling of the pile borehole
2.4 Construction of piles
2.5 Reinforcement cage installation
2.6 Concreting
2.7 Disposal of drilling spoil
2.8 Daily piling reports

2.2.4 Casing of guide wall by Shoring Contractor

The guide wall is required for keeping the alignment and verticality of the secant pipe wall
within the tolerable limits. Trench excavation shall be carried our along the secant pile wall
centre line for a depth 50 cm from working platform level. The guide wall concreting shall be
carried out after placing the nominal reinforcement.

2.2.5 Temporary Guide Casing

A crawler mounted piling rig specially developed to reduce the possible disturbance to the
surrounding soil will be used to install secant piles. A temporary guide casing of appropriate
diameter shall be installed to the pile center through the guide wall shot.
The temporary casing used will be free from significant distortion and shall be uniform
cross-section throughout the length.
2 no. reference steel pins will be installed equidistant from the pile point, The distance of the
steel casing is measured from the reference pins and adjustment made so that the
reference pins are equidistant from the steel casing. The vertically of the steel casing is
checked with a spirit level in two perpendicular directions.

2.2.6 Drilling of Pile borehole

After installation of the temporary guide casing, the borehole will be drilled using appropriate
drilling tools. i.e bucket an auger. In case required, the borehole will be drilled under suitable
drilling fluid such as water, polymer or bentonite.

2.2.7 Construction of piles

The piles are constructed as per tentative construction sequence shown below:
1st day : Preliminary piles = 1a, 3a, 5a, 7a
nd
2 day : Preliminary piles = 2a, 4a, 6a
rd
3 day : Secondary piles = 2, 4, 6
th
4 day : Secondary piles = 3,5

The primary piles are un-reinforced piles. The characteristic strength of concrete for all piles
shall be 20/N / mm2., The secondary piles are reinforced pile with concrete strength 40 N/
mm2.
The piles shall be installed by over cutting the piles installed on the previous day by 200mm.
The c/c distance between the piles after installation shall be 800 mm for 1000 mm diameter
piles.

2.2.8 Pile reinforcement (for secondary piles only)

Subsequent to the completion of the drilling, the borehole depth will be checked and verified
versus the depth given on the drawings. Only after borehole depth check can the cage be
lowered into the borehole. A reference site datum level will be given to ensure the correct
positioning of the cage.
Spacers shall be fixed to the spiral of the reinforcement cage to ensure the specified
concrete cover and to keep the reinforcement cage centered in the borehole. The
reinforcement cage top level will be checked to verify the correct level. To keep the steel
cage in place and at the correct levels, the cage will be hanged or arrested to the temporary
casing until concreting is finished.

2.2.9 Casting Concrete

The concrete is delivered to site by means of truck mixers. The concrete will be received on
site and the delivery ticket will be checked for correctness in accordance with the approved
mix design. Since the concrete will be used for shoring works, no temperature control
concrete will be required.
The concrete shall be placed by tremie tube method.; the tremie size will not be less than
150mm. The tremie pipe is made up of sections with sufficient length to reach the toe of the
pile. The tremie pipe will be inserted at the centre of the pile to reach upto the toe. The top
of the tremie pipe will be connected to a funnel. The tremie pipe will be lifted 300mm above
pile toe level prior to concreting. While concrete the length of the tremie pipe will be
shortened if necessary but the tremie pipe will be maintained full time into the concrete of at
least 2.0 m length. The concrete will be brought upto the working level above cut-off level to

ensure good quality and contamination free concrete. The concrete will be removed before
setting and chipped to cut off level for the installation of capping beam.

2.2.10 Disposal of drilling spoil

Spoil from drilling of boreholes will be stored on site and carted away at regular intervals.

2.2.11 Daily Piling Reports

Shoring report will be prepared on daily basis and will be submitted to the Engineer for
approval.

2.2.12 Excavation by Main Contractor

After the installation of the shoring system the excavation to be carried our as per the
approved method statement upto final excavation level. The dewatering to be carried out to
keep the excavation platform level free of water.

2.2.13 Dewatering by Main Contractor

The dewatering to be carried out as per the approved method statement to lower the water
table upto 50cms. Below the final excavation level.

2.3 MATERIALS
Concrete - Piles : Grade 20 / 20 (OPC) – Primary Piles
Grade 40/20 (OPC) – Secondary Piles

Reinforcement - Secondary Piles : Non Epoxy Coated Steel

Fy = 460 N / mm2
