5.0 METHODOLOGY

5.1 Setting Out

 Before the commencement of the works, the contractor will be supplied with
information necessary to establish the alignment and levels of the works and need
to re-establishment of any markers found to be missing.
 All survey markers and reference pegs must be preserved except where
construction requires their removal and to be replaced with new reference
marker.
 Prior to commencement of any physical work, a licenses surveyor shall be
appointed to carry out demarcation works and establish bench marks on site.

5.2 Site Preparation

 A temporary system for rapid dispersal of water flowed on to the earthwork or

From probing tests and caisson excavation works, the formation across the site is found to be consisted
of:
 Overlying with soft to loose deposits of Clay and Sand with high water table. Sometimes muddy soils are
following into caisson shaft from the base during excavation works.
 Residual soil and interspersed with boulders.

In view of the above, we proposed to install the micro pile with permanent casing. It is an usual practice and
requirement by JKR for soils are too soft (Clay) or loose (Sand or Gravels) or cavities or boulder formation are
encountered, permanent casing is adopted instead of temporary casing. The used of permanent casing is :

 To prevent extensive lost of grout.

 To prevent necking of pile due to collapse of hole walls and grout lost.
 To ensure the reinforcement tube is properly embraced by cement grout and the micro pile formed is
according to design.

The installation of permanent casing is via Tubex /Odex System Tubex 240 is proposed in this project which can
open a hole of 306 in diameter and simultaneously installed permanent casing respectively.

 Tubex method is based on a special pilot bit and an eccentric reamer. As the pilot bit continues to drill, the
reamer drills a hole large enough for a casing tube to slide down after the reamer (Fig 1).
 The micropile holes is continuously line and stabilize with the Permanent Casing tubes sliding down through
their own weight and impact force from the hammer while simultaneously drilling the hole deeper . Thus the
TUBEX Method was quickly and easily provide lined stable hole through the overburden.
 During the drilling, the flushing media (pneumatic air) and cuttings are forced upwards inside the casing by
means of the guide device (Fig 1). Flushing is controlled to best suit the application.
 When the drilling has reached 0.5m into fresh rock, the drill string is rotated in the opposite direction,
whereby the reamer is folded in (Fig 2). The drill string with the TUBEX bit is retracted up inside the casing.
Impact energy from the hammer is diverted to the casing tube to anchor it (Fig 3).
 After changing to a conventional DTH Bit, the drill string is lowered into the casing and drilling is resumed till
the required socket length of 3 ̴4m is achieved.

7.0 GROUNTING

7.1 Grouting Equipments

Each set of Grouting Equipment is consisting of a high pressure piston pump and Two Grout Mixers. The
type and model of Grouting Equipments used are as follows :-
a) Grout Pump – Koken BG Grout Pump or equivalent
Pressure Range = 0 ~ 30 kg / cm²

b) Grout Mixer – KLG-100 Grout Mixers or Equivalent

Volume = 450 litres

7.2 Grout Mix

The grout mix is consist of Ordinary Portland Cement (MS522), anti shrink admixture and clean water. The
water cement ratio is 0.5. The 28 day works cube strength of cement Grout is not less than 30 N/mm².

7.3 Grouting Procedure

 Grout is mixed on site and pumped into micropile hole using suitable pipe as soon as possible not
exceeding 1 hour after mixing.
 Grouting is carried out immediately after drilling, cleaning and inserting of reinforcement tube. The
grout is Tremie up to not less than 300mmm above the cut off level via the API pipe. If temporary
casing is adopted in drilling, temporary casing shall be withdrawn slowly as soon as the Tremie
grout has displaced the water and neat grout flows out.

5.0 PROPOSED TEST PILE PROCEDURE TO MICROPILE

 A cast in place micropile is constructed by making a hole in the ground to the required depth and then fill
it with Cementitious Grout upon the confirmation by the Consulting Engineer as a preliminary working
test pile.
 There action of the pile was provided using Tension anchors which were supported by a series of steel
beams as shown in the sketches attached.
 The test pile was conducted in 2 cycle.
 It was intended that the pile is loaded up to 3 times the working load and subsequently unloaded to zero
again.
 With the results, load settlement curve is then plotted for further discussion.

6.0 MAINTAINED LOAD TEST

6.1 Test Loading Procedures

 The pile to be tested shall be built up or cut down to a suitable level and mild steel plate or
plywood packing of suitable thickness is fixed on the pile, to carry the test load jack.
 The kentledge system is then built up around the pile to be tested and so positioned that the
hydraulic jack placed centrally over the pile on the mild steel plate or plywood packing, lies
centrally under the kentledge.
 The kentledge loads are derived from Tension anchors loads.
6.2 Loading
 1st Cycle:
From zero to working load, in increments of 25% working load at intervals of 1 hours provided
stability has been obtained.

At working load, load maintained for 2 hours after stability has been reached.

No increments / decrement of load will be permitted until settlement / recovery has stabilized.

 2nd Cycle:
From zero to test load, in increments of 20% test load at intervals of 1 hours provided stability
has been obtained.

At test load, load maintained for 24 hours after stability has been reached.

No increment / decrement of load will be permitted until settlement / recovery has stabilized.

6.3 Unloading
 1st Cycle:
From working load to zero load, the test pile shall be unloaded in four equal increments at half
hour interval until the full load is removed.

Reading should be taken at 15 minutes intervals throughout the unloading exercise.

 2nd Cycle:
From test load to zero load, the test pile shall be unloaded in four equal increments at one hour
interval until the full load is removed.

Reading should be taken at 15 minutes intervals throughout the unloading exercise.

7.0 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT

7.1 Load
The load applied to the pile is measured by means of a pressure gauge attached to the jacking system,
the pressure gauge would be calibrated.

7.2 Settlement
Four dial gauges would be placed at corners of the Test Pile to measure settlement of the pile. These dial
gauges are supported by an independent frame. In addition, one scale ruler would attached to the jack, two
at the independent frame and one serve as TBM plant outside the test pile area.

The movement of the frame would be monitored, if any.

The stressing tendons use for anchor is to be 7-wire 15.20mm low relaxation grade 270PC strand to ASTM A416-80.

Working load should not exceed 62.5% of the characteristic strength of the tendon, clause 7.2.8 of BS8081, and maximum load (e.g testing load) should not exceed
80% of the characteristic strength of the tendon, clause 11.2.4 of BS8081)
