and underground utilities shall be checked and recorded
4.1.3. A joint survey shall be carried out in the presence of S.O. to confirm any
discrepancy, which may affect to the dimension, level or any part of the works.

4.2. Removing of trees

4.2.1. Before starting excavation work, trees that is higher than 3m had to be removed
for mobilization of machine purpose.
4.2.2. Tree branches will be cut to the point where there is only trunk and will be cut
using boom lift and chainsaw.
4.2.3. Trees that had been cut will then be planted at a site where it is approved by

 4.3.3. For the first point, a 2 section of sheet pile will be installed starting from MH 18Z
to MH 19 Z.
4.3.4. Next, installation of I beam at the top of sheet pile will be done. (Refer picture for
detail)
4.3.5. After finish 2 section of sheet pile, procedure 4.4 to 4.8 will be followed by.
4.3.6. After completion of procedure 4.8, the first section of sheet pile will be dismantled
and will be installed to continue to section 3 and continues the process until
MH8Z.

4.4. Excavation of line pipe

4.4.1. The trench for pipe shall be excavated to the requirement depth as per drawing.
4.4.2. Excavated earth shall be stored on one side of the trench for re-use in backfilling.
Temporary shoring of trenches will be using box shoring and steel plate at side of
the box shoring.
4.4.3. Excavation work by using excavator will scoop in between box shoring beam
which have clearance of 5m length in between.
4.4.4. Detail of box shoring is attached at Appendix A.

4.5. Piling Work

4.5.1. After excavation reached the required depth, piling work will start.
4.5.2. Before piling to peg location of piling whereby 1.5m distance between one pile to
another centre to centre pile as stated in construction drawing.
4.5.3. Finished pegging, piling work will start by using hammer pile method using
mobile crane.
4.5.4. We will carry out 2 points of pile for test with the same size of 230 x 230 mm
square pile. First point will be using 9 m initial and 6 m extension bar and second
point is only using 9 m initial pile.
4.5.5. PDA test will be carried out to test both point to achieve test load of 150 kN, we
will get consultant approval to propose with the balance works.
4.5.6. Next, excess pile will be left out 125mm (Lean con 50 mm, excess pile 75 mm)
from excavated ground level and reinforcement starter bar to be left out for
300mm.

 4.6. Concreting work
4.6.1. 50 mm lean concrete will be lay at the base of excavation before laying down 2
layers of A10 BRC.
4.6.2. 2 layers of BRC will be tied out with reinforcement starter bar of pile as shown in
Construction drawing.
4.6.3. Pile raft foundation will use concrete grade 30.

4.7. Pipe Laying

4.7.1. RCP size diameter 375mm will be laid in sequence after 200 mm base concrete
has harden and will continue concreting the remaining raft foundation to desired
height.
4.7.2. Joints on pipe shall be of slip-in type spigot and socket joint and flanged fittings.
4.7.3. All safety measures will be followed to keep the open trench free from accident.

4.8. Backfilling and Compaction

4.8.1. A layer of approved backfilling material i.e. Sand is spread above pipe.
4.8.2. Subsequent layer of approved backfill material is spread and compacted with
roller.
4.8.3. The remaining area shall be filled with compacted approved backfill material up
to bottom of pavement layers.

4.9. Manhole construction

4.9.1. Once invert level confirmed and checked by the surveyor; a 2100mm diameter or
1800 mm diameter of precast concrete chamber will be lowered down by caisson
method as a sleeve and shoring for the manhole.
4.9.2. Next, the concrete base should be lowered down.
4.9.3. Manhole chambering shall be fixed one by one up to the required level including
all the make-up pieces.
4.9.4. Grade 20 concrete shall be used as concrete surround using required sizes steel
mould to hold the chambering as per the drawings.
