9. Work Procedure
The construction of the secant bored piles are critical along the whole stretch of structure whereby
there is a possibility of an existence of underground rock layer that might hinder to the boring
works. This method statement was prepared for the implementation of the typical piling works
using BG method on soft layer and using Reverse circulation drilling method on the hard/rock
geological formation.
The basic concept of BG is to apply a drilling technique wherein the outer casing advances
through the rock layer by reverse circular drilling method. Hammering action at the bit is
triggered by a compressed air which is use as a medium to wash out the cuttings. Upon reaching
the required penetration length; the borehole is eventually casted by either concrete or reinforced
concrete depending on the type of SBP (primary or secondary) being considered. The process is
then repeated until it formed continuous bored pile columns for the purpose of earth retaining
structure during the cut and cover tunnel excavation works.
Aside from BG ’s, auger drill machine and other conventional type of boring machine, Rotator
and Oscillator adopted in assistance casing installation into hard/rock formation.
9.1 Piling to be carried out by competent person
Piling works will be carried out by a trained operators, site supervisors, and foreman who
are well experienced with piling works.
Foreman or workers directly involved in the maintenance work at heights will be provided
with Fall Protection Equipment (fall arrester, full body harness) and should possess a valid
Work at Height certification.
9.2 Construction of concrete guide wall
Prior to the construction of the Secant Bored Pile (SBP), a reinforced concrete guide wall.
The concrete guide wall will form a template for the layout of the secant pile wall and ensur
e the accurate positioning of the primary and secondary piles in order to achieve the require
d interlocking of the piles.
The concrete guide wall is to be constructed accurately in line and level. All setting out will
be checked and verified by maincon surveyor to ensure correct position.

2. Provide PE endorsed design calculations on the proposed hanging bars (lifting hooks),
lapping details, hanging plates, stopper plates, etc. deemed necessary to make certain that
they are “safe to use”.
3. Follow installation details for hanging bars (lifting plate), rebar cage hanging arrangement
with stopper plates and rebar cage lapping.
4. Surveyor to set out reference and offset points for monitoring the rebar cage movement after
the removal of steel casing. Monitoring of rebar cage relative movement shall be done
during the initial stage and will be adjusted accordingly as soon as allowable tolerance was
established.
Also, we propose to install additional main bar (same as shown on the design) on the single

Proposed measures to ensure proper placement of rebar cages:-
1. Generally setting out of bored pile center lines will be carried out by Dongah surveyor in
accordance with the design drawing and specifications.
2. Matching reference point at rebar cages will also be located and clearly marked for
monitoring purposes. This will be matched to the reference/offset point installed at guide
wall for proper rebar cage orientation.
3. During the initial stage of SBP works, we proposed to install additional main bars (to
match with the design) in order to make the rebar cages symmetrical thus avoiding the
grave consequences in case an excessive rotation of rebar does occur.
4. Pattern of rotation will be recorded and verified and shall be adjusted accordingly as soon
as soon as allowable tolerance was established.
11.5 Concreting in wet hole
A tremie concrete pipe shall be use and shall consist of a series of metal pipes with
internal diameter not less than 250mm.
The tremie outlet shall be kept at least 1.5 meters below the surface of the concrete at all
stages in the pour.
Temporary casings shall be extracted in not more than 2 hours after concreting has
completed.

11.6 Drilling fluids (if necessary) and soil tests
Steel casing installed until rock layer will be provided in lieu of the drilling fluid.
.
11.7 Dry hole construction (If directed by engineer only)
Whenever practicable, concrete bored piles may be placed into a clean dry hole. All dry holes
shall be inspected and approved prior to placing of concrete. The concrete shall be placed by
tremie. The free fall of the concrete from the bottom of the tube shall not exceed 1.5 times the
diameter of the pile. The concrete shall be placed as quickly as possible where the ground is
liable to deteriorate on exposure.
11.8 Casting level
Concrete shall be finished not less than 600mm above the cut-off level (overcast) to ensure
that all concrete at and below the cut-off level is homogeneous and free of laitance and
deleterious matter.
11.9 Concrete Cover
Unless otherwise noted, all concrete cover for SBP works shall be 75mm. Concrete spacer
shall be provided at a vertical distance of not more than 3.0m to ensure enough concrete
cover.
