1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background to the Project
The Slave Island is busy commercial area with government, commercial and residential buildings. It is
surrounded with top star hotels. Further, the Slave Island area becomes the center of real-estate development
projects in Colombo with many recent iconic development projects. At the same time, Colombo Port City
Development project is within 1.5 Km distance from the Salve Island.
The road network through Slave Island area is highly congested during the peak hours with inward and outward
traffic. The Maly Street, Justice Akbar Mawatha, Uttarananda Mawatha and Baladaksha Mawtha is significant
roads in Slave Island with traffic congestion. With future predictions, there will be more traffic movements on the
roads with the current and proposed development projects within the Colombo Metropolitan.
Costal Line, one of the major railway lines in Sri Lanka Railways, runs through Slave Island area with two level
crossings on Justice Akbar Mawatha and Uttarananda Mawatha. Due to the rail traffic, gate closures more than
100 times per day. The estimated time lose is around 3 hours per day per level crossing.
The Road Development Authority (RDA) has identified that Design and construction of three flyovers in Slave
Island area is essential in order to ease the traffic congestion and they are,
1. Design and Construction of Two Flyovers in Slave Island along Justice Akbar Mawatha and Uttarananda
Mawatha over Railway Tracks
2. Design and Construction of a Flyover Connecting Baladaksha Mwatha and Chittampalam A Gardiner Mwatha
Over Railway Tracks and the Beira Lake in Slave Island.
We/ Acceess Engineering has been awarded the Design and Construction of a Flyover Connecting Baladaksha
Mwatha and Chittampalam A Gardiner Mwatha Over Railway Tracks and the Beira Lake in Slave Island with the
National Competitive Bidding

2. SCOPE OF WORK
The designing and construction of the temporary platform-cofferdam with the confined soil and building
materials and dismantling once the requirement is fulfilled where such works shall be decided and
proposed by the Contractor, considering the water flow, environmental factors, topological, and
bathymetric details.
All the final designs shall be supported with detailed, reports, assumptions and any other considerations
shall be subjected to the review and approval of Employer. The temporary platform-cofferdam shall specially
consider filling height, filling area, depth of the existing bed and length of the retaining wall.
The Employer shall deploy personnel to inspect a l l necessary scope of works and the works shall be
extensively supervised, controlled and inspected by the Contractor’s supervising staff.
This method statement describes following tasks which is important to carry out the works and they are,

Figure 2 : Site Access Areas(mark the temporary bridge location and dimesions)
Stock piling of dredged material, soil and debris shall be carried out to drain and dewater the material before
transporting. Dried material shall be transported to accepted landfills or dump areas designated by authorities.
Maintenance, removal and dismantling work of temporary platform remains limited and confined to the extent of
the temporary platform constructed by the contractor. Stock piling of dredged material, soil and debris shall be
formed on a portion of the platform remaining and the final stock pile shall be deposited on an area approved by
the applicable authorities, before transporting to an accepted landfill or dump area. Drained water shall be
diverted back to the lake without any treatment.

ABC (200mm)
Water Level
3000mm
Geotextile shall cover at least top most part of the jumbo retaining wall
3-2-2-1 jumbo bag style might be more stable and avoid lateral spreading in future while traveling the heavy
vehicular loads.
PC 120 excavator is better for jumbo bag filling. JCB also ok.
PC 200 long arm excavator and D4 dozer is enough for the jumbo bag placement and soil dozing.
Platform shall be made upto the edge of cofferdam 2 as described in the above and then, the particular area
which is required to place hume pipe, shall be re-excavated and place the 1200mm dia hume pipes in order to
avoid the inundation of the pipe in the sludge depth of the lake.
Sludge on the lake bed will be replaced with the progression of soil filling since the soil is denser than
the sludge.
500mm minimum soil cover shall place on top of hume pipe to avoid any bearing failures and invert level shall
be 1700mm from the cofferdam top level. In this way hume pipe mouth will be fully clear and waterflow can
passed through the Hume pipe without hinderance.
Temporary bridge will be further protected on applied vehicular load by placing minimum 8mm thick ms plate on
top of soil prior to lay ABC
