PREPARATION WORKS
• Mobilisation and setting up of drilling machine, batching plant
and tendons fabrication yard.
• Cutting of drill hole on the sheet piles
 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
DRILLING OF BOREHOLE
• Hole Diameter: 200mm
• Angle of drilling will be set at 30 degree using magnetic angle finder
• Two Methods depending on ground condition :
- Dry boring method with compressed air
- Wash boring method if ground water is encountered.
• Temporary casings shall be installed if soil layer collapsed.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
GROUTING
• Cement grout mixing at batching plant on site (cement bags)
• Every ground anchor = 6 nos 100mm grout cube ( 3 cubes each to be tested on 7
day and 28 day)
 CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
GROUTING
• Tremie hose will be inserted all the way until the toe level
• Grouting starts at the bottom most of the hole and grout all the way up until grout
overflows to the top.

 GROUND ANCHOR REMOVAL
vThe U-turn anchor removal system utilizes an unbonded
strand system in which the whole length of the strands
is debonded from the grout body to ensure smooth and
complete removal of the anchors

vThe unbonded strands have grease packing within

the HDPE sheathing to ensure non contact with grout
body and perfect removability of the anchors.

GROUND ANCHOR REMOVAL
v Each pair of unbonded strands is looped round a saddle at the
end of fixed length zone with the two ends of the strands at the
anchor head.
vThe ends of the strands are held by Locking head and wedges
during stressing.
v Upon end of service life of anchor, the strands will be Stressed at
one end and pulled until it break at the U-loop Saddle. Next the
Strand is able to use the mono-jack, excavator or Crane to pull out
individually at nominal force until all Strands are removed.
 GROUND ANCHOR REMOVAL

SEQUENCE OF REMOVAL
• The removal sequence will be from the 6th layer moving upwards to the 1st layer of
ground anchors as the platform is sequentially backfilled to the top.
• The anchor load for each tendon will be broken using a multi jack or mono jack.
• Once all the tendons are broken and anchor load released, broken and loosened
tendons can be removed by using a multi jack or mono jack
• Crane will be used to lift and bring the tendons to the ground level
• After the strands are totally removed, the anchor bracket together with the
bearing plate, waler beams and waler brackets shall be cut and removed
from the sheet pile wall and lifted up by using a Crane.
