2 Engineering Geology Conditions of Construction Site

2.1 Land and Sea Stratum Conditions
According to the final edition of construction site reconnaissance report “Ground Investigation Final
Report (Document No.: 13K087-SS-DZ-0001 REV.: A)”, the stratums in construction site of this
project are as follow:
（1） ②Quaternary system marine deposit (Q4m) spreads entire construction site, and its thickness is
generally several meters. They mainly consist of drift mud layer, loose sand layer, extreme soft
and soft viscidity layer, soft viscidity with sand layer, loose sand with viscidity layer.
（2） ③Quaternary system alluvial-pluvial deposit (Q4 al+pl) spreads most parts of construction site
with small layer thickness, mainly consists of sand or viscidity soil layer with medium or high
density, medium grade and high-grade hardness viscidity soil. Quaternary system
alluvial-pluvial deposit ( Q4 al+pl) belongs to medium soft and hard soil.
（3） ④Quaternary system eluvium (Qel ) is distributed in partial section on site, belongs to gneiss
soil eluvium with good construction geology condition.
（4） ⑤Gneiss bedrock layer is stably distributed in whole section on site, its depth from several
meters to dozen meters, partially with no coating. According to the degree of weathering, this
layer can be divided into full-weathering gneiss, strong-weathering gneiss, medium-weathering
gneiss and little-weathering gneiss. This layer is with excellent construction geology condition.
In this project construction site, the thickness of soil coverage is thin with less variety of soil
layers. The main soil layers need to be treated is the backfill sand. The backfill sand is in loose or
low-density condition with low bearing capacity. As a result, there is necessary to conduct
reinforcement treatment to improve loose sand foundation in construction site.
2.2 Hydrology and tide condition

According to the statement of “Detail Engineering Report of Colombo Port Efficiency &Expansion
Project”, the high tide water level is +1.0m and low tide water level is +0.1m.
All the elevations in this statement are LWOST elevation.
11 | P a g e
2.3 Meteorological condition

Sri Lanka is a tropical island county close to the equator, which owns tropical monsoon climate, the
summer lasts year-round without the four seasons, only has differences of rainy and dry seasons. Local
mean annual temperature of Colombo is lower than 30°C, with monthly average maximum and
minimum temperatures of 37°C and 20.7°C respectively.
The climate of Sri Lanka is marked by the southwest monsoon and northeast monsoon. The
intermissions between these monsoon periods are called the First Intermission Period (from March to
April) and the Second Intermission Period (from October to November), respectively. These monsoons
are due to the north and south seasonal movement of the equatorial low-pressure belt called the
“equatorial trough”.

3 Technical Requirements of Ground Improvement Works

The specifications of 14S004-DD-GGS-R-1001 rev.C03 cover the requirements on ground
improvement. The details are shown on the drawings.
3.1 Definition of Ground Improvement Area

For providing adequate bearing capacity to withstand the applied loadings and controlling the residual
settlement as specified, ground improvement is necessary for the area behind the revetment.
The ground improvement area is divided into six zones, zone A~F, dynamic compaction and vibro
compaction will be adopted as the ground improvement methods.
The detailed division zones refer to the table 4-1 and the drawing of 14S004-Dd-R-1.101 General
Layout of Ground Improvement.
Table 4-1 Lists of Ground Improvement
No. Zone Methods of Ground Improvement Remarks

1 A Revetment Area Vibro Compaction Revetment along canal
2 B Revetment Area Dynamic Compaction (2000kN.m) Revetment along beach
3 C Road Area Dynamic Compaction (4000kN.m)
4 D Development Area Dynamic Compaction (2000kN.m)
5 E Drainage Area near existing road Full Tamping (1000kN.m)
6 F Drainage Ditch Area Vibro Compaction Near existing south breakwater of CPEP
3.2 Construction Sequence of Ground improvement

According to reasonable sequence, the construction of ground improvement will not conflict with the
other works of this project, taking reclamation and revetment for example.
Comply with main programme of CPC project, the reasonable sequence will be stated as reclamation
work at first, and then ground improvement, revetment work at last.
The sub-sequence of ground improvement on each land lot is shown as follows:
3.2.1 Zone B
1) Carry out two pass of point tamping and level the yard;
2) Carry out one pass of full tamping;
3) Trim and backfilling may be necessary for building the grade of final surface;
4) Execution of post-treatment in situ testing;
5) Construct the revetment structure.
13 | P a g e
3.2.2 Zone C and D

1) Carry out two pass of point tamping and level the yard;
4) Execution of post-treatment in situ testing.
3.2.3 Zone E

3) Execution of post-treatment in situ testing.
3.3 Final Level after Ground Improvement

Final level after ground treatment shall be as shown on the Drawings subject to permitted tolerances of
±50mm for the road areas and ±100mm for the development areas. The area with surface level
exceeding the tolerance shall be trimmed or filled and compacted to the specified requirements.
One point at every 100m2 shall be checked by level instrument.
3.4 Dynamic Compaction

The energy of dynamic compaction is a function of the mass of the tamper, the drop height, spacing,
and the number of drops at each tamping point location.
The energy is generally applied in phases on a grid pattern over the entire area using either single or
multiple passes. Following each pass, the craters are either leveled with a dozer or filled with granular
fill material before the next pass of energy is applied. This is necessary to form a smooth surface from
which the equipment can work for the next pass as well as to obtain ground surface elevations.
Dynamic compaction is selected as improvement method for Zone B, Zone C and Zone D, and full
tamping is adopted to treat Zone E. Dynamic compaction energy here is recommended as 4000kN.m
for Zone C, 2000kN.m for Zone B and Zone D, and full tamping energy of Zone E is 1000kN.m.
3.4.1 Equipment
The basic necessary equipment and accessories for dynamic compaction construction are crane,
pounder and a releasing mechanism.
The mass of the pounder generally ranges from 10 to 40 tons with roundness or polygon bottom, and
the drop heights range from 10 to 30m. Its bottom area can be confirmed by the property of backfilling
materials, and the value of its bottom static contact pressure generally ranges from 25 to 40kpa. In the
basal face of the pounder, it’s better to set several through-holes with diameter of 250mm~300mm
symmetrically.
14 | P a g e
3.4.2 Parameters
The dynamic compaction procedures are two passes of point compaction and one pass of full tamping.
Point tamping energy is 4000kN.m for zone C and 2000kN.m for zone D. For energy of 4000kN·m,
the proposed spacing of compaction points is 6.5m in square grids; for compaction energy of
2000kN·m, the proposed spacing of compaction points is 5.0m in square grids. The compaction point
of the second pass shall be on the center of the square grids of the first pass. One pass of full tamping
shall be carried out after the two passes of tamping. The proposed energy is 1000kN·m.
After each tamping pass is finished, the tamping crater shall be backfilled and leveled for the next
tamping pass.
After the point tamping is finished and prior to the full tamping pass, any insufficient elevation part
shall be filled. The filling material should be sand. The full tamping pass shall be taken after the
ground is leveled.
For full tamping pass, the compaction stamps should overlap each other, and the overlapping area
should be not less than 1/4 of the pounder bottom area. The full tamping at a single point shall carry
out for 2 blows for Zone B, Zone C, Zone D, and 3 blows for Zone E.
The ground average elevation shall be checked before and after each pass of dynamic compaction to
calculate the compacted settlement. The ground shall be leveled before checking elevation.
The water level shall be taken into consideration during the construction. It is proposed that the initial
ground surface of dynamic compaction is 2 m higher than the water level.
After the dynamic compaction trial construction and verified by the tests specified by the
Specifications for Ground Improvement, we can confirm the construction parameters as below:

tamping compaction and one pass of full tamping compaction. Point tamping energy is 4000kN.m and
2000kN.m, in square grids. For the compaction of energy of 2000kN·m, the spacing of compaction
points shall be 5.0m on a grid pattern; for energy of 4000kN·m, the spacing of compaction points shall
be 6.5m on a grid pattern. The point tamping of the second pass shall be on the center of the square
grids of the first pass. One pass of full tamping will be carried out after the two passes of point
tamping. The full tamping energy level of both 4000kN.m and 2000 kN.m is of 1000kN·m.

5.4 Construction parameters and equipment

5.4.1 Verify total energy
Total energy input is usually in the region of 200~250 tonne.m/m2 on pervious coarse-grained soil
stratum. The treatment pattern for project site and a calculation of the total energy applied to each unit
area of treated ground is given in Table 6-2.

5.4.2 Calculation treatment depth of the dynamic compaction
In treatment by surface impact the depth of treatment cannot be controlled directly, as would be the
case with vibro stone columns or piling. A critical element of dynamic compaction design therefore is
the depth to which a particular treatment is effective.
There is some correlation between the depth of compaction and the energy per blow for falling-weight
dynamic compaction. This has usually been expressed as:
ze = k (MH)0.5
where ze is the depth of compacted soil in meters, M is the mass of the falling weight in tonnes, H is
the height of fall in meters and k is a coefficient which depends on fill type, and for sand fill, k=0.5.
For 4000KN.m dynamic compaction, ze=10m;

For 2000KN.m dynamic compaction, ze=7.1m;
For 1000KN.m full tamping compaction, ze=5m.

23 | P a g e
Figure 7-3 dynamic compaction method

(2) Working levels
For most building and civil engineering projects, establishing a site datum will be standard practice.
The site datum should be related to LWOST and maintained throughout the works. Where
groundwater is close to the working level it may be necessary to raise the working platform to avoid
water ingress into imprints or de-watering may have to be considered.
(3) Setting out
It is important that the setting out of the compaction grid is directly linked to the site survey system
used for setting out the foundation and structure.
The site is sub-divided into grids and each point will be named in its location. For example, 210A,
32EB, and so on.
In dynamic compaction where the weight is dropped by a crane, individual compaction positions will
be identified using a painted steel pin driven into the ground. In this way, compaction points will be set
out accurately according to shop drawings with numbered points as above.
(4) Imported fill
The material imported to infill the depressions formed by the tamper during treatment should be hard,
inert, granular material similar to, or the same as, that used to form the working blanket. In this project,
the sand filling will be adopted.
(5) Pre-compaction CPTs and pre-survey
The pre-survey has performed by NBRO to survey the around building’s crack condition.
24 | P a g e
Several CPTs shall be carried out in situ before compaction, so we can realize the sand filling
condition. According to different situation in situ, we will carry out several CPTs in order to detect the
condition of sand filling stratum. For example, a land lot in which piling accropode blocks for long
time will be done CPTs in order to get the filling sand compaction degree to guide next step
compaction.
Prior to optimizing the ground improvement design, we will submit the related proposal in which the
CPTs’ location, number will be confirmed.
Furthermore, after the compaction in the situ, post-CPTs will be done according to the drawings of
general layout of testing (14S004-DD-R-1.104) referring to attachment and The Employer may
change the locations of these CPTs prior to performing.
5.5.1 Treatment
(1) Location tolerance
For guided falling-weight dynamic compaction, the center of the weight will be dropped within 200
mm of the grid positions shown on the drawings. This tolerance will be achievable and represents an
acceptable margin for uniform compaction of the ground at depth. It is equally important that the
weight is dropped as closely and as accurately as possible into the depression formed by preceding
impacts. This will reduce the energy lost in compacting disturbed material and increase the effective
energy transfer to deeper layers in the ground.
(2) Setting out first pass compaction point
Individual compaction positions will be identified using a painted steel pin driven into the ground.
Compaction points will be set out accurately according to the related drawings.
(3) First pass point tamping compaction
Compact 1st pass tamping of all points with the optimum drops number.
(4) Filling crater and leveling
Infill the craters formed by the tamper with imported sand using wheel loader and level the surface.
(5) Setting out second pass compaction point
Individual compaction positions will be identified using a painted steel pin driven into the ground.
Compaction points will be set out accurately according to the contract drawings.
(6) Second pass single tamping compaction
25 | P a g e
nd
Compact 2 pass tamping of all points with the optimum drops number.
(7) Filling crater and leveling
Infill the craters formed by the tamper with imported sand using wheel loader and level the surface.
(8) Full tamping compaction
1 pass full tamping of 1000kN.m energy level will be carried out in accordance with designated
requirements.
(9) Filling depressions
After DC treatment, an elevation measurements are carried out in square grid of 20m×20m on the site,
the insufficient part will be filled.
(10) Final leveling
Final leveling will be done as specified.
5.6 Pre-compaction testing

（1） For the reason of optimizing the ground improvement design, we will submit the related
proposal in which the pre-compaction CPTs’ location, number will be confirmed.
（2） Pre-compaction CPTs will be carried out to assess the compaction degree of sand fill.
5.7 Post compaction testing

（1） Post-compaction CPTs will be carried out as specified after the completion of dynamic
compaction 7 day later.
（2） The test results will be submitted to the Superintending Officer within 7 working days after
testing.
（3） The proposed locations of the CPTs should be provided. Refer to attach drawings of CPT
testing layout and final locations will be confirmed by employer prior to conducting CPT tests.
5.8 Records
It is essential for quality control that there is a comprehensive and permanent record of the conduct of
the treatment. The records should include all the engineering data of the dynamic compaction process.
The records should demonstrate adherence to the Specifications and should provide confirmation of
design assumptions about the nature of the treated ground and the suitability of the chosen treatment
technique and plant.
（1） Compaction point reference and pass number: Each compaction point will be clearly referenced
26 | P a g e
on contract drawings and identified in the work records as treatment progresses.
（2） Date of compaction: The date that each individual compaction was carried out will be recorded.
The detailed behavior of the tamper at each blow can provide information about variations in
ground conditions but is generally only practical with automatic in-cab monitoring systems.
（3） Method of compaction and plant type: The method of compaction and plant type will be
recorded for each area of treated ground. On many sites, all the compaction will be carried out
by one rig. It is clearly important that the date and time of any change in rig type or treatment
method is recorded. The individual record for each compaction generated by in-cab systems
will automatically show this information.
（4） Mass, size of weight and height dropped: The mass (tones), size and height from which the
weight is dropped will be recorded. Any change in these parameters must be recorded.
（5） Number of blows: The number of blows carried out at each treatment point will be recorded.
（6） Depth of depression caused by the falling weight or the total penetration of the compaction foot:
This is a fundamental aspect of the treatment design and ongoing site control. Instances of
either excessive or limited tamper or compaction foot penetration provide important feedback
on ground response to treatment.
（7） Any unforeseen conditions encountered: This covers any other circumstances not covered in (a)
to (k) and refers to ground conditions, plant operation and any other general site conditions
affecting the dynamic compaction works.
（8） Weather conditions: A simple description of prevailing weather conditions will be recorded.
（9） Ground settlement due to a phase of compaction and filling of depressions is essential
information. This may not form part of a daily record but will be measured and recorded at the
end of each treatment pass over a particular area of treated ground.
（10）A record table is referred to attachment 4.
5.9 Quality Control

（1） Items of quality control:
a) Pounder’s weight, drops height, location of tamping points should meet the Specification.
b) The drops number of each tamping compactions will meet the requirements shown as table
6-2.
（2） The items with allowable deviation: the allowable deviation of dynamic compaction and the
inspection method please see table 6-3:
27 | P a g e
Table 6-3 Allowable Deviation of Dynamic Compaction and Inspection Method
Allowable
No. Work item Inspection method
deviation (mm)
1 Central displacement of tamping point 200 Inspect with theodolite or ruler
2 Surface elevation ±50 Inspect with level gauge or ruler
3 Displacement of tamping center 200 Inspect with ruler
Noted:
a) The distance between crater’s center and setting out point muse be less than 200mm.
b) In order to survey ground settlement, the ground elevation must be measured and elevation
deviation is +50~-50mm.
c) The distance between falling pounder’s center and setting out point must be less than 200mm.
（3） Quality control measures of dynamic compaction
a) Personnel allocation refers to table 6-5.

b) Before laying out the tamping crater points, the technician in situ will strictly check the
control points without any mistake, and then layout the location. In order to confirm the
accuracy of tamping crater point’s center, its center will be located by steel pin and applied
with lime. A white circle will be applied around the pounder bottom in radius to ensure the
position accuracy of pounder.
c) The technician will check the energy and number of every tamping point, and make sure that
the pounder and drop height meets the design requirements.
d) The tamping energy and number of drops of every tamping point will be ensured to meet
design requirements during conduct construction. And the original data will be made original
record carefully. The recorder has to supervise and check the drop spacing and numbers of
times.
e) Any deviation of the pounder during conduct construction will be rectified and any slanting
tamping will be analyzed and adjusted, and the crater bottom has to be leveled before
restarting the construction works.
f) The backfill used for dynamic compaction will be strictly controlled, replace new sand and
surrounding sand in accordance with bidding documents and specifications. The moisture
content of backfill will be the optimum as specified, if there is any insufficient, watering or
pouring will be carried out.
g) Special staff is assigned during conduct dynamic compaction for supervision. Before tamping,
check the pounder weight and drop height. Double check for each tamping point alignment
before conducting each round compaction, and check the tamping crater location after
28 | P a g e
completing each round compaction. If any displacement and missing are discovered, dynamic
compaction will be conducted again. Check the tamping drop and each blow compacted
settlement of each compacting point based on designed requirements.

6 Monitoring
6.1 PPV and airborne monitoring
6.1.1 Purpose of monitoring
（1） When a tamper strikes the ground, vibrations are transmitted off site. The vibrations are larger
when heavier tampers and higher drop heights are used. If dynamic compaction is undertaken
in a congested area, some off-site structures could be affected by the ground vibrations.
（2） Dynamic compaction produces airborne noise should be considered in the treatment. The
proximity of other site workers as well as the specialist contractor’s operatives is of principal
importance but public safety is also an issue. The compactor process is similar to pile driving

Dear Sir.
Sub: Technical Proposal - Omission of Roller Compaction
Refer your letter CPCC/CHEC/04.03/EPC/005679, the employer had given comments on our
proposal, then our responses are as following:
Response
No. Comment
Date
Comments for CHEC/CPCDP/02.01/0/006713
CTR notes that in the trial plot for the 1000kN.m dynamic compaction in
handover Area A4-1, the target cone resistance was not achieved over the top
1.0 meters for the situation where roller compaction had not been carried out.
As a result, CTR proposed that the "verified level" (i.e. the level above which
the post compaction acceptance criteria do not need to be met at this stage of
the works) be 1.0 meters below ground level for the 1000 kN.m dynamic
compaction areas.
In other words, CTR is proposing that the compaction requirements for the top
1.0 meter of fill in the 1000 kN.m dynamic compaction areas be waived at this
stage. If this is accepted, EQR concern is that if roller compaction is CPCC
1.1
subsequently carried out solely from the ground surface, then this compactive 17-Jul-17
effort will be insufficient to adequately treat the full top meter of compacted
material; it may be necessary to excavate much of the top meter and then
re-deposit it and compact it in layers. CTR should accept that it will do this
work if necessary.
For the areas where the 2000kN.m and 4000kN.m compaction is to be carried
out, CTR's suggested "verification level" is stated to be 50cm. This is consistent
with the discussion held and the agreement reached in the technical meeting on
the omission of the roller compaction held on 9t1 i June 2017 (Technical
Meeting No. EQR-TM-004).

Noted. Regarding to 1000k1V.m dynamic compaction area, as our drawings, it

shall be located in A1-1, A1-2, and A1-3 land lots near Galle Road. And then,
duo to the vibration concern, vibro compaction method is used instead of
1000 k1V.m dynamic compaction.
Whatever, if roller compaction is subsequently carried out solely from the CHEC

ground surface in 1000k1V.m area, then this compactive effort will be

insufficient to adequately treat the full top meter of compacted material; it
will be to excavate much of the top meter and then re-deposit it and compact
it in layers.
With regards to the CBR testing, in the technical meeting held on 9th June 2017
(Technical Meeting No. EQR-TM-004), it was agreed that if the roller
compaction was to be omitted, laboratory CBR tests should be carried out to
demonstrate that the fill material is of a type that will be capable of achieving CPCC
3 the specified CBR values once compacted. 17-Jul-17
Note that field CBR tests will still be required as per the Employer's
Requirements and the Specification to demonstrate that the required CBR has
been achieved when the roller compaction has been completed.

1) Section 5.2, Item 2): It is not clear what "general flatting" means. If it means
CPCC
1 levelling of the site then it should be clear what this level will be as this will
17-Jul-17
need to be verified.
General flatting means levelling without roller compaction and the final level CHEC
1.1
is above 50mm than final handover level. 24 Jul 17

2 Section 6.2.2: As above, the term "generally flatting" is not particularly clear.
17-Jul-17
General flatting means levelling without roller compaction and the final level is CHEC
2.1
above 50mm than final handover level. 24-Jul-17
Section 7: It should be noted that when the roller compaction is eventually carried
CPCC
3 out, it may be necessary to carry this out in layers (rather than just compacting the
17-Jul-17
ground surface) in order to adequately compact the final surfaces.
Roller compaction compacting the ground surface at vibro compaction plot in

CHEC
3.1 A1-3 has been completed and the CPT results & in situ density test results of the
24-Jul-17
top layer meet the requirements
Section 8: It is stated that the field CBR will be replaced by the laboratory CBR
tests. This is not quite correct. Laboratory CBR tests will be carried out at
handover to prove that the fill material present is capable of achieving the CBR CPCC
4
values set out in the ERs. It will still be necessary at some stage in the future to 17-Jul-17
prove that adequate roller compaction has been carried out and that this has
resulted in adequate field CBR values.
Field CBR tests will still be required as per the Employer's Requirements and
CHEC
4.1 the Specification to demonstrate that the required CBR has been achieved when
24-Jul-17
the roller compaction has been completed.
Attachment 1 Cone Penetration Test Report: It is noted that the CPT report clearly
states that CPTU cones were used for the project. These cones are piezocones and CPCC
5
hence the tests carried out were piezocone penetration tests (PCPTs). However, 1 7-Jul-1 7
the pore pressure readings from these tests have not been presented.
1. PCPT is referred in Section 5.4.3.5 Assessment of Ground Improvement in

EPC contract ER Part I. And statement of CPT can also be found in 4.2 Fill
Compaction Requirement and Compaction Control in ER Part 1 Annex XI,
Schedule 17-Construction and Completion Tests (Concession Agreement).
Regarding the statement 'For avoidance of doubt, the requirements or
5.1 specifications under Concession Agreement shall be followed and complied with CHEC
24-Jul-17
should different requirements or specifications are stipulated with the
document' in section 1.1 Scope of Work in ER Part 1, it is interpreted by us that
clause of Concession Agreement is superior to EPC contract. Thus,
contractually test method of CPT. is adopted in design

2. PCPT can he deemed as a more generalized form of CPT. Function of

Pore water pressure is mainly used to evaluate the dissipation of excess pore
water pressure, which is usually generated in cohesive soil of low
permeability. For sand of high permeability, excess pore water pressure
dissipates as soon as it rises, thus pore water pressure is normally not
CHEC
5.1 necessary to be measured
24-Jul-17
3. In this project, the fill material is sand We mainly use index qc of CPT to
assess the effect of ground improvement. We clarify that there is no need to
detect pore water pressure of sand fill in our project, and therefore CPT test
is used in our design.
Attachment 1 Cone Penetration Test Report: It is noted that this test report is an
outdated report. The report should be updated to reflect the more recent CPCC
6
assessment of the non-compliant sections of the fill material where the 17-Jul-17
measured qc values fell below the target q c values.
CHEC
6.1 Updated and referring to the attachment 1.
