1 INTRODUCTION
This document sets out the Work Method Statement for the installation of Rock Bolting for
stabilization of excavated slopes and tunnel surfaces in order to carry out the works in
planned and systematic manner.
2 SCOPE
To set out the requirements for rock bolting on the Chenani- Nashri Tunnel Project to meet
all the contract requirements and LIN standards for work operation, safety, quality and
environmental compliance .This includes the following.
i. Drilling
ii. Grouting
iii. Installation rock bolts
iv. Testing rock bolts
3 SAFETY
Rock bolting work shall be undertaken in accordance with this document, the contract
requirements, approved Leighton Safety WMS and any specific job safety analysis
conducted prior to commencement of work. The general hazards and risks and their
controls are as follows
Controls:
3.1.6 Electrocution:
i. Provisions of 30mA ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) in all DBs
ii. Proper earthling of all DGs
iii. All electrical equipment inspected and tagged by authorised electricians
iv. Use LOTO
v. Avoid standing in water while using electrical tools
3.1.10 Fire:
i. Certified Fire Extinguishers
ii. Obtain Hot Work Permit
iii. Housekeeping
iv. Proper fuel storage
Controls:
3.2.1 Poor Communication:
i. Proper induction for all personnel
ii. Pre-start briefs, TBTs
iii. JSEA and HSE Verification checklist developed, communicated and monitored
iv. Coordination of the communication
v. Appropriate signage for each location
3.2.3 Emissions:
i. Regular maintenance of all equipment
ii. Quarterly monitoring of exhaust emissions
4 RESPONSIBILITIES
i. The WMS shall be followed by all personnel involved in the rock bolting activity. This WMS
may be adjusted to suit adverse site conditions subject to approval of LIN Construction
Manager.
ii. Action may be delegated, but responsibilities shall not be delegated.
iii. Use of word ‘shall’ with in this document indicates a mandatory requirement.
iv. Use of word ‘should’ within this document indicates a preferred requirement.
v. Detailed responsibilities are set out in:
- ITPs
- JSEAs
- HSEVCs

7.1 Methodology
7.1.2 Installation
i. Rock Bolts:
- Rock Bolting shall be carried out as shown on the design drawings.
- Jumbo shall drill the boreholes for all rock bolts to the depths as per requirement/ design.
- Borehole shall be flushed / cleaned of drill cuttings and debris by flushing with high
pressure compressed air and water, jumbo will continuing to drill additional rock bolts /
rock anchors.
ii. PG Bolts:
- The hole is drilled as per the lengths as shown in the drawings.
- The bar is inserted into the hole with the grout hoses. The collar is blocked and the hole
is grouted.
- Post tensioning shall be done 8 to 12 hours after the grouting by tightening the nut of the
grouted rock bolt after installation of anchor plate. This force shall be applied by a
calibrated torque wrench.
- After the installation of the bolts a force of approximately 20KN shall be applied at the
anchor plate to tighten the nut and bolt
iii. SN Bolts:
- The hole is drilled as per the lengths as shown in the drawings.
- The grout hose shall be placed at the full depth of the drill hole and thereafter gravity in
association with internal pressure will therefore allow the grout tube/grout hose to
withdraw as the grout is pumped inside. The bolt is then driven / pushed into the hole
and shall be allowed to set for at least 8 to12 hrs.
- Post tensioning shall be done 8 to 12 hours after the grouting by tightening the nut of the
grouted rock bolt after installation of anchor plate.
- Boreholes for the rock bolts shall be drilled to the depths as required. The boreholes
shall be cleaned of all drill cuttings, sludge and debris.
- The installation of rock bolts shall be done not later than two hours after drilling of the
boreholes.
- The installation system for Swellex rock bolts consists of a high pressure water pump
coupled with an inflation chuck that is pushed over the bolt’s head bushing to conduct
the water flow from the pump to the inside of the bolt.
- The water pumps used for this operation are high pressure pumps that can rapidly and
safely deliver the 300 bars constant pressure specified for a perfect installation. The
inflation chuck is a safe and simple system that grips and injects the water inside the of
the Swellex bolt.
- Once the inflation is completed, the pressure is released manually, or automatically, like
with the electric and hydraulic versions of the pump.
- Swellex Pump PSP 240/300 shall be used. The rock bolt shall be drained after inflation.
