utility installation (storm water drainage). The trench is approximately 1.2m wide and 1.5m to 2.0m
deep.

CONCLUSION

No additional support is required for this trench excavation in progress at 4B1 station. However,
loosen material shall be removed and the cutting surface needs to be covered with green nets to
avoid surface drying.
Last but not least, regular observations should be carried out to check the cutting surface condition.
If any of abnormal phenomena is detected, the work shall be ceased and it should be informed to
the geotechnical engineer immediately.
