4.0 METHODOLOGY 4.1 PILING

General The purpose of this method is to describe the construction of bored pile with temporary collar casing followed by stabilization of the borehole by bentonite suspension. The working sequence is as follows: 4.1.1 Setting up of piling location The work shall be carried out in accordance with the drawings approved by the client/ consultant for construction. The surveyor shall check all reference points before starting the survey work. The survey work shall be carried out from whole-to-the-part method as far as possible. Only calibrated and approved instruments shall be used. The pile locations shall be set out accurately using suitable surveying techniques and clearly marked using steel pins. All points shall be firmly fixed and guarded against any disturbance Reference points shall be established for each pile point, preferably equidistant from the pile point, to facilitate identification of the pile points at the time of execution as well as to check the installation of the casing. Care shall be taken to identify all utilities that may obstruct execution of work. 4.1.2 Preparation of bentonite slurry Position of the tank shall be finalized keeping in view the capacity of the installed pump and the distance between the tank and the piling location. Capacity of the tank shall be such that it can store sufficient quantity of slurry for the number of piles that can be done in a day.

Construction Methodology
Depth of the tank shall be such that if required a person can stand and work in the tank when it is full. Bentonite slurry shall be prepared using bentonite mixer or bentonite pump. Care shall be taken to maintain the required consistency of bentonite slurry in the tank. The concreting operation should not be taken up when the specific gravity of the bottom slurry is more than 1.2. Where bentonite suspension is used to maintain the stability of the bore hole, its essential that the properties of the materials be carefully controlled at stages of mixing, supply to the bore hole and immediately before concrete is laid. The density of Bentonite suspension is 1.05 gm/cc. 4.1.3 Fabrication of reinforcement cage Reinforcement bars shall be stored carefully on a raised platform so as to prevent contact with soil. Reinforcement fabrication shall be carried out as per approved drawing. If the length of the entire cage is more than the boom length of the crane/winch or the basic length of individual reinforcement bars, the cage shall be fabricated in parts. Cage shall be fabricated firmly, using binding wire and tack welded as per drawing. Cover blocks of required size shall be provided. 4.1.4 Installation of temporary casing The Tripod shall be brought to the pile location and properly aligned to the pile point, adjusting the tripod legs. Pile point may be confirmed by lowering the bailer on the ground covered with thin layer of sand from a height to get the impression. A single wall casing of suitable length shall be driven through keeping the top edge 20Cm above ground level.

Construction Methodology
4.1.5 Boring After installation of the casing, excavation shall be carried out by bailer. The bore-hole shall be kept filled up with bentonite slurry throughout the process of boring. During the boring operation the fluid level inside the hole has to be kept about 1 M to 1.5 M above the ground water level. 4.1.6 Lowering of reinforcement cage The cage in single length shall be handled with crane/winch. The cage will then be lowered gradually with utmost precautions. 4.1.7 Lowering of tremie pipe Tremie lowering shall be taken up after cage lowering is over. Total length of tremie pipes shall be such that on lowering, the bottom of the pipe shall be above the founding level. The tremie pipes shall be internally free of any old and hardened concrete. O-rings shall be inserted to the joints of the tremie pipes to ensure adequate water-tightness. The tremie-joints shall be properly lubricated with grease. The tremie shall be suspended with a tremie-fork from the top of the casing. A tremie-head shall be fixed with the tremie at the top.

4.1.8 Concreting

4.1.8.1

Approved cement, aggregate, water and admixture shall be used. Concreting will be done by batching plant or

tilting type pan mixer at site.

Construction Methodology
4.1.8.2 Approved Concrete Design Mix shall be used in

accordance with IS-10262 & SP-23. 4.1.8.3 Minimum cement content & maximum water cement ratio is as per most specification (Clause no. 1703-1) for different grade of concrete. B Concrete mixing, transporting and placing.

Concrete shall be transported by means of transit mixers, when concreting will be done by batching plant and placed as near as practicable to its final position. So that no contamination

segregation or loss of its constituents material take place or when concreting will be done by mixer machine, concreting shall only commence when sufficient number of mixer machines are available at site in running condition. Other arrangements for concreting, i.e., supply of water, electricity, ingredients for concrete must be ensured to be satisfactory. The tremie should be large enough with due regard to the size of the aggregate. For 20mm aggregate the tremie pipe should be of diameter not less than 150 mm. Aggregates of size more than 20 mm shall not be used. The tremie head shall be removed from the tremie assembly and the concrete hopper of adequate capacity shall be fixed to the tremie pipes. The hopper and the tremie should be a closed system through which water cannot pass. After filling up the hopper with the first charge of concrete, it will be ensured that the concrete passes through the tremie

uninterruptedly, forcing the bentonite slurry out of the tremie pipes. The next and the subsequent charges of concrete shall then be poured in the hopper and the concreting shall be carried out with small jerks so as to facilitate the flow of concrete and simultaneous compaction. The tremie pipes shall be

Lift Irrigation Project

Construction Methodology
gradually removed one by one, ensuring that it shall always penetrate well into the concrete with an adequate margin of safety against accidental withdrawal of the pipe. Normally, the tremie shall be inserted into the concrete for at least a length of 1 M at any stage of the operation. Throughout the concreting operation, the slump of concrete shall be checked at intervals to ensure proper slump in order to avoid choking of tremie. All tremie pipes shall be scrupulously cleaned after use. Displaced bentonite from the bore shall be collected back into the bentonite tank, where it shall be descended and made re-usable. The top of concrete in a pile shall be brought above the cut-off level to permit removal of all laitance and weak concrete before capping and to ensure good concrete at the cut-off level for proper embedment into the pile cap. 4.1.9 Withdrawal of temporary casing Once the concreting is finished the withdrawal of temporary casing shall commence. The casing shall be withdrawn with winch.

4.2 Sampling & Testing : The Minimum frequency of sampling of concrete of each grade shall be in accordance as Quantity work, M3 of below: in No of Samples 1 2 3 4 4 + one additional sample for each additional 50 m3 or part there of.
