SCOPE OF WORK: MONITORING ‘This Method Statement outlines the method proposed by Soldata (Asia) Ltd. to monitor the Track sides and the Over-Head line Masts of the existing East Rail for Route 9 ~ Shatin Height ‘Tunnels and Approaches. The monitoring system for Track sides and the Over-Head line Masts of the existing East Rail for KCRC East Rail will comply with the Particular Specification PS Section 1 and Section 7 INSTALLATION OF AUTOMATIC DEFORMATION MONITORING SYS1 Preparation Every staff working inside the KCRC boundary shall attend a KCRC in-house safety course (GLS) and be required to carry and show the qualified card for inspection whilst working on site. The CQS shall check all the passes. Two days advance notice will be submitted via RSS for approval to work inside KCRC boundaries and 2m beyond the nearest track line, Automatic Deformation Monitoring System Track settlement and differential cant on the railway usc an automatic on line deformation monitoring system (ADMS). Sol Data system has been used and approved by KCRC and MIRC for the monitoring of the MTRC Airport Express Line during the construction of the KCRC ‘West Rail Contract No. CC402 and TCC500.4.3. 44. ‘An Automated Total Station will be mounted on the side of rails. The observation masts will be approximately 2.5 to 3.0 m above the track level. This will enable to measure the tracks more accurately and safely, and at 4-hours intervals prescribed in the specification. ‘A management system will automatically control the total station to measure prisms on the track sleepers and the over-head line masts, and calculate the relative movement in three axes OY, 2) It will also be able to calculate the tilt of the track and overhead line masts, This system minimizes the use of track possession and night surveying, and the time delay factors associated with a manual surveying method. This system also allows visualization of the data in near-real time on a computer screen, enabling the user to have a complete visual layout of the site movements, The system is described in greater detail in this document. Instruments ‘A motorized electronic total station, which includes a theodolite integrated with a CCD camera and an Electronic Distance Measuring device (EDM), as manufactured by Leica (TCA 2003). ‘A steel mast founded on an adequate foundation (Appendix E), on which the Theodolite is mounted. This will include the connection box with battery, battery charger and surge protection, ‘The deformation markers will be prism target types (Appendix F), mounted on steel ““L” angle frame that allows positioning of the required angle. These will be drilled and anchored on the sleepers at 2 or 3m centers staggered between the Up track and Down tracks of KCRC East Rail. The height of the prism and mounting bracket is sufficient not to be damaged or disturbed by passing trains. It means the top of the prism will be less than 25 mm above the track top level Installation ‘The installation of the Automatic Deformation Monitoring System deals with five Stages: ~The Total Station installation, ~ The automatic optical prisms installation on the track sides, = The manual deformation markers installation on the track sides and over-head masts, ~The electric cable and data cable connection boxes installation = The control room set up. Total Station ‘The Total Stations will be positioned on the side of rail track at the boundary of the KCRC East Railway line (refer to Appendix D). The positions will have been selected to encompass all the deformation markers (optical prisms) that have to be monitored as per the specification. It is envisaged that mini piles (Appendix E), approximately 140mm diameter and will act as the foundation for cach of the theodolites. These mini piles will be drilled to found in rock (2 meters into bedrock), sleeved and reinforced with dia.32mm grade 835/1030 DYWIDAG bar. The pile will be cement-grouted.- $ol Data ae ‘On top of the foundations will be constructed a concrete pad, on which a steel cage (a will be affixed to Dywidag bars. Both the reinforcement and stee! cage will be ended by a horizontal steel plate (20mm thick) welded and both steel plates will be bolted together as shown in Appendix E-6, On top of the foundations will be constructed a concrete pad, on which a steel cage (a will be affixed to Dywidag bars, Both the reinforcement and steel cage will be ended by a horizontal steel plate (20mm thick) welded and both steel plates will be bolted together as shown in Appendix E-6. On top of this mast the Theodolite will be mounted. The Theodolite will be covered with a steel plate over its top, to protect from sun, and other elements. All steel mast and protective cover will be white-painted. The Theodolite will be powered using a battery, which will be either be charged with a direct feed power cable, which will be connected to a battery charger, The battery charger will trickle charge the Theodolite battery, so that it can be used during the night. A stcel scaffold fixed assemble to the concrete pad will provide access to theodolite . This scaffold will contain the connection box to prevent any damaging from other part and will be locked. The top of this stecl scaffold will be used as platform to do any work on the Theodolite. ‘When work on the top carried out, safety belt fixed to a steel ring welded on the mast. The location of mini-pile and observation mast will be controlled by two restrictions, They shall be at a safe horizontal distance from the track of not less than 2m and a safe clearance of 2.75m from the high-voltage over-head lines, To ensure comply of these requirements, once the location has been set out, joint site inspection will be held by the Resident Site Supervisor and KCRC prior commencing of work. The mini-pile carrying out will follow the Method Statement for drilling rigs.

A pre-drilled hole will be done to carry out the installation, Two reflective ‘paper target’ will be installed Im and 4m above the existing ground level on the over-head line masts within the monitoring zone using metal glue. These reflective “paper targets’ can be monitored manually using a movable total station prisms, Al the manual deformation points are installed together with the optical prisms at the same locations as contingency system in case any problem occurred to the automatic deformation ‘monitoring system or some of its components. It should also be used a as counter-check on the ADMS readings on a regular basis. Wiring and connections Communications and power cables for the ADMS (automatic deformation monitoring system) will be install to allow operate from computer office will be installed A power supply system (220V-230V, S0Hz-60Hz) conforming to the manufacturer's recommendations will be connected. It will comply with all required safety standards. The power cable will be installed along the East Rail as shown in Appendix D and cross the tracks using a rigid PVC-reservation pipes under the tracks (similar to KCRC reservations in placed) for power cables to connect to the permanent power supply. The location of these reservations will be submitted before their installation when the permanent power supply location will be set up- $ol Data 2a Data collected from the instrument can be sent direct from the station on site cither via data cable or by radio to the control computers located in the central office (control room). Data cables will be laid as the same route as the power cable. Depending upon their relative locations this may comprise of a direct RS-232 cable or a twin core cable with RS-232/RS-485 analogue to digital converters (short haul modems). All cable installations will comply with the required safety standards. To ensure the requirements can be achieved, once the cables has been installed a joint site inspection will be held by the Resident Site Supervisor and KCRC Rail Protection Unit prior to further works being carried out. A joint inspection should also be carried out to check if the installed system is not interfering with the existing KCRC systems and most importantly the train signals Control room The control room shall be located in a permanent location, it will operating the automatic monitoring system, the system as shown in Appendix D, However, the site condition will impose to fundamental set up in a temporary area, where, close to GAMMON office to allow the system to operate in the beginning few months.

Calibration ‘The manufacture’s calibration certificate for the motorized automatic total station will be provided on site and will be available for inspection. All calibration and check procedures will be in accordance with the manufacturer's manuals. During installation of the Automatic Deformation Monitoring System it will be tested for functionality and the results will be submitted as a formal record to the main contractor. Upon installation of the Automatic Deformation Monitoring System system, a set of formal initial readings conforming to the requirements of the specification will be carried out. The values obtained will use for preliminary datum for analyzing functioning performance of the system of the background-monitoring, Subsequent formal initial readings may be taken in monitoring period, those datum’s to be frequent monitor, to allow monitor whether the target have significant changes. When observed, these new readings will be, if required, shall be agreed and record with main contractor and Engineer's representative. Whenever the system requires maintenance, to re-sets up on the original location, new sets of initial readings shall be taken Monitoring ‘Once the deformation markers are in position (Quantity of deformation Markers between 40 1nos.), the Theodolite is set to lea the position of each prism, and with the unique numbering system (Appendix H). These reading will utilize for calculation the movement of the track and overhead masts. This information is processed and viewed on control computers. The view on sereen can be changed to the X, Y, Z view The reference targets will be utilizing 8 to 12 nos. for Total Station, these targets shall be installed at the stable position, and those of the targets will be away from Railway track. The Theodolite will be self-dictated of its position after completing a monitoring cycle of ‘measurements on the track. ‘These reference targets are the purposed to measure and control any movement of the masts and the total station. Their locations are subject depended on the site conditions and are shown in Appendix D. ‘The frequeney of monitoring will be in 4-hour interval. The PC based monitoring software will be programmed with the appropriate time for data acquisition and storage. Data will be collected in cycles of measurements of prismatic target locations. These data shall be automatic downloading to computer in every cycle (for downloading in 4 hours cycle). These cycles will be configured to maximize the accuracy of the data collection and the cycle time.- Sol Data Sow Data recording shall execute prior commence of construction works, these data will use for identify the background deformation status which, affected by vicinity site activity For structural deformation monitoring, the system will be configured to read the fixed reference prisms during and after each cycle mentioned above. If necessary the software will be configured apply to correction factors, it will base on the discrepancy in measurements from reference targets. On regular basis, the position of both the fixed references targets on the theodolite masts and the selected monitoring target prisms will be checked by manual survey to verify the automatic measurements as well as to detect any movement of the reference targets themselves. When necessary, corrections will be applied to the automatic data using the data obtained during these manual system checks. Manual monitoring will be carried out as requested by the Specifications The data reduction system will be checked frequently, if necessary, frequency of checking will be done within every two working days. If the Total Station unable to detect the target prism is occurred, any maintenance or rectify external obstruction shall be checked by visual in order to find out the caused of un-detected, those maintenance works shall be carried out at nighttime. When required, the automatic alarm functions programmed in monitoring software will be configured to automatically alert to the key personnel by modem, pager GSM telephone, facsimile etc. ‘To ensure monitoring during in daytime, if any global malfunction of ADMS System, the Manual Survey Contingency Plan is presented in Supplementary of Method statement. In addition, manual monitoring points shall be monitored during installation of Automatic Deformation Monitoring System. This will described in preliminary survey report presented in supplementary in Method statement Reporting Data collected from the monitoring target prism by the Automatic Deformation Monitoring System will be imported into the Instrumentation Database on a daily basis during active and standard monitoring. Weekly importation will be performed during background monitoring, i.e. one reading per target either by floppy diskette, direct cable or modem communication. Reporting will be carried out and agreed by the Engineers. The reporting format will be submitted to Engineers as agreed format. Reporting will show all the measured data and calculation of monitoring process together with the charts and table in daily and weekly basis. The reports shall, also indicate the differential settlement or reference to response value and cant change, these information shall pass to Engineers’ However, SolData (Asia) Ltd. will follow “China State ~ China Railway Joint Venture General action Plan”. to notify the monitored points which had reached any response valueSol Data ae 48.
