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

1.2. The Project Scope


The Scope work is subjected to design and construction of two-lane unidirectional bridge cum flyover linking
Baladaksha Mawatha and Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha with pedestrian foot walks on either side of the
flyover, to provide access across at Beira lake and to provide grade separation over the railway tracks. In
addition, the work shall include facilities for turns and signalization and signage as required.

1.4. Background for the Method Statement


This method statement is intended as a guideline for Road Development Authority (RDA) Personnel and the
Contractor’s Site Staff to ensure a safe and efficient through the temporary platform construction-cofferdam for
the proposed Baladaksha Mawatha and Chittampalam A Gardiner Mawatha Over Beira Lake and Railway
Tracks Flyover (Will be referred to as Ring Road Flyover). It shall be read in conjunction with the drawings
relevant to project.

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,

 Filling of selected part of Beira Lake using the borrowed material.


 Construction of temporary retaining solution with jumbo sand bags.
 Preparation of platform surface with Aggregate Base Course (ABC).
 Removal of cofferdam as match with the initial bathymetric survey data.

Better to fill clouded area as well. Otherwise, it


will be difficult to do the abutment construction
with Beira lake water flow. Even it is difficult to
arrange shoring system. IF we are going for
sheet pile shoring around abutment which
might not be an issue.

Figure 2 : Site Access Areas(mark the temporary bridge location and dimesions)

3.3. Filling Materials Borrowed from Outside


If dozer is available, one long arm excavator (PC/SK 200) and one PC 120 excavator will be enough for the
work. However, with respect to the activity duration, number of machineries might be increased.
Contractor shall deploy at least 2 Nos. of Excavators (PC 200 Long arm) or any other combination of machinery
and capacity to fulfill the demand of soil at the rate of 500 m 3/day. For the purpose of filling the jumbo bags, an
imported soil material shall be used such that the jumbo bags perform efficiently to cut off the water seepage
and prevent erosion. Such soil imported shall be used in a dry state. Dump trucks shall be provided by the
contractor to receive borrow soil at the required rate mentioned above.

3.4. Removing and Dismantling the Platform

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.

It is essential to place geo-textile prior to place soil to avoid erosion

5.3. Construction Methodology


5.3.1. Filling of 1st Phase
Unload soil from the abutment side adjacent to the lake and make soil unload platform and approach for the
cofferdam construction. Area clouded in the figure 3 and cofferdam 1 initial part entirely shall be filled without
keeping small ponds in between construction area. 50mx40m area shall be formed at the abutment site for
material stock, machinery travelling, bags filling and for other works as initial part.
The Contractor (AEP) shall deploy an adequate number of dump trucks (3 cubes) to transport excavated
material to area where filling works to be done. Once the adequate quantity of excavated material is delivered,
the D4 capacity Dozer shall be used to push them gradually in to the lake until the fill is completed 0.5m above
the water level so that the newly formed ground shall be used to unload the rest of material and spread away by
Dozer or any Other applicable machinery as shown in figure. 05 below. The same step shall be continued
throughout the filling area as indicated in the drawing (Ref :).

5.3.2. Placing of Jumbo bags


Once the 1st phase of filling work is completed, the transportation of embankment material which is suitable for
preparation of jumbo bags shall commence. This imported material shall be stocked on newly formed ground as
much as close to the outer boundary of filling area. 12 ton Excavator shall be used to fill the jumbo bags. While
the preparation of jumbo bags is in progress, 20 ton Excavator which has considerably a higher arm length shall
be deployed to place the filled Jumbo bags in the lake along the boundary as shown in the figure. 06 & 07. Care
should be taken to keep SK 200/PC 200 Excavator in safe distance from the edge of the fill as its compaction
shall be able to withstand the weight of machine. The Placing of Jumbo bags shall be commenced from right
most corner of the site which is shown in the drawing (Ref: ).

Figure 7 : Cross Section of the Retaining Wall

5.3.3. Filling of Final Phase


Filling the space between retaining wall and the slope of the fill shall be done same as described in clause XX.
But it shall be ensured that the machinery movement should not dislocate the jumbo bags which are already in
place.

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.

Construction of temporary platform shall be described in separate paragraph.

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
