6. Construction Methodology
The Construction sequences of the proposed works are as below,
6.1. Surveying and Preliminaries
1. Before any construction works, the area will be cleared and levels (MSL) are
established.
2. The construction area will be demarcated by means of warning barricades. It will keep
1.5m(or maximum can be taken at closed to the adjacent timber house) buffer from the
excavation lines.
3. All closed residencies will be noticed regarding the construction works and the time
period.
4. The nearby coconut tree and other trees will be removed and uprooted. Special care
will be taken to not to disturbed to the adjacent houses and parapet walls
6.2. Excavation works and Shoring
1. Excavation line will be marked with 1.5m(Concrete wall 300mm + Shoring 200mm +
working space 1000mm) offset to the existing structure. Refer ANNEX 02 for
excavation lines
2. Excavation will be commenced from the far end of the gravel road and proceed to the road
side.
3. The excavation will be carried by Back-hoe loader or by mini excavator. The full depth
will be excavated in one time. The suitable material will kept at stock pile to reuse for
backfilling. The suitability for backfilling will be confirmed with the Engineer before it
stock pile. The excavated unsuitable material will be directly loaded to a 01 cube tipper
and removed from the site
4. As per the soil report, the loosed sand available for 2.0m height (SPT value less than 15).
Therefore, special care will be taken to avoid the collapse the excavated walls. Refer
ANNEX 03 for temporary shoring system.
5. The ground water table expected to meet at 1.0m depth. Therefore, it will be prepared to
lower the water table at construction time. The removed water will be discharged to the

adjacent drains. Submersible water pumps will be used for the purpose. Two pocket will
be formed below the 2.0m depth to keep the pumps.
6. It will be proposed to have temporary 150mm thick G15 concrete covering up to 1.4m ~
2.0m depth including the construction bed to avoid water disturbance to the construction
area. Refer ANNEX 03 for temporary concrete shoring at working space. Even after the
temporary concrete, 01 pump will be keep for any emergency purpose.

6.3 Construction of Proposed Chamber

1. Construction of chamber will plan for two stages

Stage 01 Up to ground level ( 2.0m height) including the slab over the existing chamber

Stage 02 Above ground level ( 3.0m height) + Construction of top slab with steel manhole
cover

2. Stage 01 Up to ground level including the ground level slab( 2.0m height)
i.
A kicker will be formed with the G35 concrete base to keep the support the formwork at
bottom.
ii.
The reinforcement will be provided as per the construction drawings. The reinforcement
material will be get approved before bring to site.
iii.
All the bending works carried out at close to the site and fixing works done at the location.
iv. From work will provide up to the ground level. All form work materials are smooth
finished marine plywood. Refer ANNEX 03 for Formwork arrangements.
v. It will plan to do the infill concrete with the same G35 concrete. Hence only outer form
work provided.
vi.
It will be planned to concrete up to 2.0m height at one time (up to ground level). The
concrete will be from Ready mixed G35 concrete.
vii.
It will take special care when placing the Manhole M20 anchor bolts at exact location. A
temporary plywood template will be fabricated according to the manhole cover dimensions
and bolts are placed according to the drawings at this template. The template will be kept
while concreting and will check soon after the concrete and will carry out necessary
adjustments immediately.

A plat from form and chutes will be arranged to place the concrete carefully.
Two 2 poker vibrators are arranged for the purpose.
The vertical formworks will be removed after 24 hrs and start curing the surfaces. Wet
gunny bags will be provided for the purpose.

It will be constructed at two concrete at two steps as each step with 1.5m height.
Refer ANNEX 04 for inner and outer form work arrangements
The ladder rungs will be provided as per the drawings and specifications. Prior approval
will be taken to the samples, before bring to the site.
Concrete will be placed by means of concrete buckets and it will be raised and positioned
by JCB or Boom-truck.
A platform will be arranged at middle core of the chamber to ease the concreting works.
A polythene layer will be provided to the existing chamber top to avoid the dirt will fallen
concrete.
Both formwork removed with care and commence curing works after 24 hrs
Refer ANNEX 05 for formwork arrangement from 1.5m ~ 3.0m height.
All other concreting works will be carried out as same as concreting on G.L ~ 1.5m height.

4. Fixing of Handrail and Steel Stair case

i.
All the material will be approved before the fabrication works
ii.
All the fabrication works will be carried out as per the drawing finalized with Engineer.
iii.
Drilling of concrete wall will be carried out after 21 days of concreting the wall OR as per
the instruction by the Engineer.
iv. All steel works will be apply two anti-corrosive layers before the painting the same.
6.4 Safety
All labour will be provided with necessary personal protective equipments (PPE) as per the safety
manual.
