UPGRADING WORK
Before the commencement of the site mobilization and site clearing works we will
appoint a licensed Surveyor to search for the Approved Plan of the contractual site with
Client or the Survey Department. Upon having the necessary plan the survey team will
conduct site survey to check for boundary stone and boundary demarcation by setting
boundary peg to prevent potential encroachment into neighbouring land. Temporary
Bench Mark (TBM) will also be set up at a few location inside and outside the
contractual boundary for future reference during the construction period.
Having successfully doing the above task they will conduct the leveling survey to
determine the original ground level, slopes and terrain for the detail design and
Construction purposes.
Endorsed Drawing for the above survey works will be submitted to the client for their
approval and safekeeping.
The whole process of data searching, site surveying, pegging and producing of drawings
will take about 1 week to complete. One gang three person survey team will involve in
this process.
Using the above survey data by licensed surveyor , our design team will proceed with
their detail design and decide on their process flow, hydraulic head calculations,
hydraulics profiles of each process and positioning of structures. The design team will
then finalized their Layout and submit it to client and relevant authorities for approval.
Upon approval of the layout drawing will be passed to the surveyor for the preparation
of Pre computation drawing. Subsequently building alignment, invert levels and
earthwork peg can be set up for construction.
2/ SOIL INVESTIGATION
In this specific job, the client has carried out the Soil Investigation reports, however if
this scope is necessary the scope are as follows :
A soil investigation specialist contractor will be appointed during the preliminary stage.
They will conduct at least three borehole 30m deep within the contractual boundary to
determine:-
a/ Soil type
b/ Soil layer and dip
c/ Soil properties
d/ Standard Penetration Test
e/ Ground water table

Other than the above test, Mackintosh Probe Test will also be conducted two numbers at
every big structure position.
One gang consist of five team member will involve in the above tests while the
equipment required will be one set of Mackintosh Probe, one set of Borehole equipment,
a small 415V Generator Set.
The whole process of site works and data assessment will take about two weeks to
complete.
3/ SITE CLEARING
Site Clearing works shall commence and coordinate with the site surveyor and soil
investigator. This is because certain areas needs to be cleared to allow the smooth works
of the other parties.
All vegetation, weeds and tall grass or other unsuitable materials obstruct the working
environment will be removed. It will be removed from site to our dumping yard.
A backhoe, two number of lorries, 2 sets of grass cutter, 2 sets of portable water pump, a
ladder one gang of five person daily workers will be employ to do this task .
4/ EXCAVATION
Upon approval of construction drawings, machineries and survey team will be mobilized
to site. The survey team will establish survey control such as Temporary Bench Mark
(TBM) and alignment control to mark the limit of excavation. The area that need to be
excavated will be pegged and volume of excavation will be determined.
Long arm excavator 300 series will be required for the deep of excavation more than six
meter. The proposed structure that will require this type of excavator shall be the Jacking
and Receiving Pit.
For excavation less than six meter deep we proposed to use a normal excavator 300 series
or 200 series depending on the volume of excavation.
Excavated material will be hauled immediately to fill the idling area within the site or to
be disposed to our own dumping site. Tipper Trucks will be employ to do the hauling. A
backhoe and a bulldozer will be used to level the dumped excavated material. No
excavated material shall be stockpile within the vicinity of an excavated area or a newly
constructed structures to avoid slope failure.

UPGRADING WORK
During excavation, a team of surveyor will regularly monitor the excavation level to
avoid over cutting. For slope stability we propose that any excavation up to four meter
deep shall have a gradient of 1: 1.
Excavation more than four meter deep we propose to stabilize the slope with sheet piling
or timber pile to avoid any untoward happenings.
We expect the ground water table are quite high in this area, probably 2.0 meter below
the original ground level. To ensure smooth excavation, we will provide water pumps to
pump out water from the excavated area.
A one ton vibro hammer mounted to the excavator shall be used to drive the sheet pile
into position. Care should be taken to ensure the pile is properly interlocked. The sheet
pile walls then need to be sufficiently braced with universal beam to avoid collapse.
6/ CONCRETING
During the preliminary stage we will scout the nearby potential concrete suppliers to this
project. The potential supplier will be requested to submit their design mix for approval.
Upon approval they will be required to carry out trial mix base on their design. The trial
mix will then be tested to check their crushing strength at 3 days, 7 days and 28 days.
The mix that conform to the strength requirement will be deem to be approved.
All concrete batch arriving at site from the approved supplier will still need to be checked
on their workability by means of slump test. A batch that fail the slump test will be
rejected and asked to leave the site immediately. Cube Test will be conducted to every
50m3 of concrete supply at the same day or less if the day volume is smaller. For
concrete casting volume up to 80m3 we propose to use normal mobile crane to hoist the
concrete from trucks to the working area, volume more than 80m3 we propose to use
pumping crane.
Sufficient number of poker vibrator will be used to spread and vibrate the concrete. For
a casting up to 80m3 of concrete, at least three number of poker vibrator will be used
casting more than 80m3 shall require five number of vibrators.
