    4.4.9 Concreting of bore Piles

    The method adopted shall produce a dense homogenous mass ofconcrete. In wet holes, concrete shall be placed under drilling fluidby use of a tremie pipe in accordance with BS8004. At all times,sufficient quantities of concrete shall be kept in the pipe and hopperto ensure that the pressure from the concrete exceeds that from thewater / drilling fluid. The Sub-contractor shall ensure that there is acontinuous supply of concrete to achieve this.

    In dry holes, concrete shall still be poured through a tremie to avoidexcessive free fall of the concrete.

    The outlet of the tremie shall be kept at least 1.5m below the

    surface of the concrete throughout the pour.

    Cold joints in a pile will not be permitted.

    Temporary casings shall be removed within 2 hours of completionof the pour and while the concrete remains workable enough sothat the concrete is not lifted with the casing. If casings areremoved whilst concreting proceeds, a sufficient head of concreteshall be maintained to prevent entry of groundwater.

    The top of the pile shall be brought up above the required cut offlevel by an amount sufficient to ensure sound concrete at the cut off

    level.On completion of the pour, the actual quantity of concrete usedshall be recorded and compared to the calculated volume required.Significant differences shall be reported to the design engineer whoshall propose and carry out appropriate tests to ensure theadequacy of the pile. The measurements and calculations shallform part of the final documentation that The Sub-contractor willsubmit to NSN.

    4.4.13 Excavations

    Prior to the commencement of excavations, The Sub-contractorshall make every effort to ascertain if any existing buried serviceswill be affected. The Sub-contractor shall plan how to deal withthem to prevent any damage being caused to them and limit theeffect to the construction program.

    Prior to commencement of excavations, The Sub-contractor shalltake all necessary precautions and make all necessary plans toensure that existing buildings near to the site are not damaged orweakened by the excavation.

    The minimum size necessary to install the foundation shall be

    excavated. If any excavation is made too deep, the proper levelshall be re-established by using concrete as a backfill.

    The Sub-contractor shall inspect the base of all excavations andsatisfy himself that the conditions are as expected in the soilinvestigation and consistent with the assumptions made in thedesign. No footing shall rest on fill.

    The Sub-contractor shall ensure that the bases of excavations areprotected from deterioration and that the bases are exposed for aminimal period of time. The Sub-contractor shall provide allnecessary pumping to drain and keep excavations free from water.

    The bases shall be protected with lean concrete blinding at least75mm thick.

    The Sub-contractor shall ensure that the excavations are correctlysupported to avoid any collapse and that the materials to do so areavailable on site before commencement of the excavation.

    4.4.13.1 Sheet Piling

    The Sub-contractor may propose other means of supporting thesides of the excavation.

    Material: The sheet piling shall be made of steel and may be new orused material. The sheeting shall have a minimum yield strength of38.5 ksi (265 MPa) unless otherwise specified.

    The sheeting, used by the Sub-contractor, shall be identifiable andin good condition free of bends and other structural defects. NSNsapproval will be required prior to driving any sheeting. All drivensheeting not approved by NSN shall be removed at the Sub-contractors expense. Construction. The Sub-contractor shall verify

    locations of all underground utilities before driving any sheet piling.Any disturbance or damage to existing structures, utilities or otherproperty, caused by the Sub-contractors operation, shall berepaired by the Sub-contractor in a manner satisfactory to NSN.

    The Sub-contractor shall be responsible for determining theappropriate equipment necessary to drive the sheeting to the tipelevation(s) specified on the plans or according to the Sub-contractors approved design. The sheet piling shall be driven, as aminimum, to the tip elevation(s) specified, prior to commencing anyrelated excavation. If unable to reach the minimum tip elevation, theadequacy of the sheet piling design will require re-evaluation by

    NSN prior to allowing excavation adjacent to the sheet piling inquestion. The Sub-contractor shall not excavate below themaximum excavation line shown on the plans without the priorpermission of NSN. The sheet piling shall remain in place until therepresentative of NSN determines it is no longer required.

    4.4.13.2 Dewatering (Wellpoint Dewatering)

    Sub-ground Dewatering or Wellpointing as it is often called is amethod of controlling or lowering the level of sub-ground waterwithin an aquifer.

    In modern practice Wellpointing is considered most suitable forrelatively shallow excavations up to 6.5 metres deep in stratifiedsoils, especially where the water table must be lowered very nearto an underlying bed of clay or impermeable rock.

    Wellpoint systems typically consist of the following:Small diameter pipe known as (riser pipe) fitted with a fine filter(wellpoint filter) this filter prevents fines entering into the system

    and being removed from the ground in the pumped water.

    This riser pipe is connected above ground to a flexible pipe via acontrol valve to the header pipe which in turn connects to thesuction connection of a specialist vacuum wellpoint pump.

    The discharge side of the wellpoint pump is connected via thedischarge pipe to a settlement tank which further collects any finesand then on through the discharge pipe to the discharge point.

    Once the pump is switched on it creates vacuum and pulls waterout of the ground thus lowering the sub ground water level and

    pumps the water to the designated discharge point.

    The Wellpoints are jetted into the ground using a high pressurewater pump (jetting pump) delivering water down a steel tube(jetting tube) to a maximum working depth of 6.5 metres.

    The Wellpoint filter and riser pipe are installed along with agranular filter pack to aid drainage and then connected to the thesystem.

    Wellpoint systems are very effective in a wide range of soils fromfine silty sand to corse gravels, single stage Wellpoint systems areused to a maximum depth of 6.5 metres, for deeper excavationstwin stage Wellpoint systems can be deployed.

    The equipment used falls into two categories the above groundequipment which can be re used and is usually hired or rented andthe equipment below ground (risers and filters) which are normallyregarded as disposable items and as such are sold to NSN.

    The pumps that are required for Wellpointing duties are critical tothe efficiency of the system and must have excellent air handlingand air separation capabilities as such they are regarded as

    specialised units.
