4.2 Platform and Guidewall Preparation

Due to the operation weight of one unit of trench cutter is about 120ton, appr. 2m deep x 12m wide compacted working platform on upper stream side is recommend to provide enough bearing capacity and space for such heavy equipment. See figure 4.1. Local gravel and sand mixture can be used as the filling material of platform. It should be compacted by heavy duty compacting roller every 300mm layer. As site layout, we recommend the trench cutter should be working on the upper stream side of G/W, and all the other equipment / material should be supplied from down stream side (such like concrete truck, service crane,...etc.). 6m wide working platform on down stream side is recommended. Figure 4.1 Working Platform The underground obstruction shall be removed and backfill with stabilized material prior to the construction of guide wall. A reinforced concrete guide wall shall be constructed according to the design and dimensions as stated in the specifications and relevant drawings. The firm working platform is necessary in providing enough bearing capacity for those heavy equipment, e.g. BC 32 on base machine Liebherr HS 885, with operation weight up to 120 tons. (See Figure 4.2 and 4.2)

The pre-cast guide wall can also be used to speed up the platform construction. Each section of pre-cast guide wall should be 4~6m with proper steel formwork. The construction method is similar to cast-in-situ guide wall system.

Figure 4.3 Guide Wall Cast in Situ

4.3 Excavation Process of Cut-Off Wall (COW) Using Overlap Cutter Joint Overlap Cutter Joint (OCJ) is the advantage when using trench cutter for diaphragm wall excavation, it is adopted in this project to provide water tight joint system. For construction of diaphragm wall and/or cut-off wall with OCJ requires the formation of primary panel alternatively located 2.2~2.6m apart prior to over cutting of secondary panels. The construction of secondary panel normally needs some 0.1m~0.3m (depending on soil condition and COW depth) over cutting into each adjacent casted primary panels forming a water resistant concrete joint about 2.8m apart. The diaphragm wall excavation technique with recommended panel joint, overlap cutter joint, is shown in Figures 4.4 & 4.5.

4.3.1 Cutting Process of Bauer BC 32

The Bauer BC 32 are the excavation equipment, which loosens the ground with its teeth, embedded in the cutting wheels and mixes it with bentonite suspension.

If required, the soil can be broken down to a fragment size of 70-80 mm or less. The centrifugal pump in the BC 32 has been designed to pump fragments of this size together with the suspension out of the trench (see figures 4.5 & 4.6)

Figure 4.5

Figure 4.6

The centrifugal pump of the BC 32 located immediately above the cutter wheels con-tinuously removes all of the spoil and soil bentonite suspension to the Slurry Treatment Plant.

The Slurry Treatment Plant which consists of two Desanders BE 250 and one Prescreener GS 500 separates the soil and spoil from the Slurry.

The Feedpump, which is, located at the Slurry Treatment Plant pumps the regenerated Slurry back to the trench hence achieving a closed circuit.

To crush bigger stones or rock fragments into pieces small enough to pass through the pump inlet special devices with a dynamic effect are necessary. Elastic shock absorbers built into the cutter drums protect the gearbox against damage (see Figure 4.7).

Figure 4.7

To cut the ridge being left between the cutting wheels at the bottom of the trench so-called tip-aside teeth is installed on the cutting wheels. This special teeth tilts every time it reaches the bottom of the trench by means of a mechanical guide device.

The performance of BC 32 are crucially dependent upon its power potential characterized by the crowd force (BC 32 weight = 25 ~ 32 ton) and the torque (= 2 x 81 kNm) of the cutting wheels. Both power components mutually influence each other (see figure 4.8)

Figure 4.8 The BC 32 are not only equipped with strong power reserves, but is also reaching an optimum output by controlling H and V in an extremely sensitive way.

4.3.2 Panel Excavation

The trench cutter is a reverse circulation excavation tool, which loosens the ground with its teeth embedded cutting wheels. The spoil is then removed form the panel by a suction pump and transported in the bentonite suspension via pipe network to the desanding plant, where it is separated form the bentonite by vibrating screens and cyclones. Please refer to Figure 4.10.

The bentonite is then pumped back to the trench hence achieving a closed circuit. The spoil is collected in basins located beneath the shakers. These basins are emptied by excavator periodically as required.

The verticality of the trench cutter will be measured in the panel axis and perpendicular to the panel axis by means of two independent inclinometers. The data provided by these instruments will be processed by the on-board computer and displayed so that the operator can continuously monitor and if necessary correct the verticality of the cutter. Adjustment of the verticality in the panel axis can be achieved for example by varying the cutter wheel speed.

In case, when the strength of rock or boulder exceed 60 MPa, Round Shank Chisel (RSC) cutting wheel or Roller Bits cutting wheel are recommended for the hard rock excavation. (see Figure 4.9)

4.3.3 Recycling Following the completion of panel excavation the used bentonite will be circulated, partly exchanged or completely replaced by fresh bentonite as is required to achieve the necessary properties prior to concreting. The decision whether to replace or circulate will be taken according to the condition of the used slurry.

Desanding will be carried out either by suspending a submersible pump in the trench or by using the trench cutter. The recommended site layout, which includes slurry plant, steel yard, pipelines arrangment for 3 construction phases are shown on Figures 4.11 to 4.13.

Location of Slurry Plant of First Stage

Based on the capacity of mud pump on BC 32 and booster pump KBKT, the suitable working distance between BC 32 and slurry plant is within 300m. The slurry plant should be located on the downstream side of working platform. Excavator or wheel loader with dump truck has to remove the spoil material when it’s necessary. The area to be completed first shall be the area of the intended river diversion according to PROJECT CONSULTANT’s decision.

As the site situation, COW for the area for river diversion should be completed at first. And the recommended location of slurry plant see figure 3.15.

4.3.4 Trenching Sequence:

There are certain empirical rules to be considered for a trouble free cutting sequence with trench cutters.

The Cutter should always work within similar boundaries as far as possible. The sketches below illustrate typical applications.

• Soil - Soil cutting

• Concrete - concrete cutting

• Slurry - Slurry

• Artificial guidance - soil or concrete

(This is also applicable for cutting at water stop beam)

4.4 Panel layout Two types of panels are applicable when working with the Bauer BC 32:

• Primary panels

• Secondary panels (for closing the wall)

Since cutter have an equipment length of 2.8 m, the excavated length of a primary panel shall be either 2.8 m or a variable length between 6.4 m and 7.0 m. Based on these modules of panel length a shop drawing will be prepared prior to starting the works and submitted for approval.

Since Cutter technologies & Cutter Overlap Joint will be the first time used in Myanmar and consider the maximum COW depth 70m, we recommend to use one cut 2800 mm one panel as simple and smooth operation for Tamanthi project. Please refer to the proposed panel layout shown in Figure 4.16.

Figure 4.16 Proposed Panel Layout with Overlap Cutter Joint

Based on above there are total approximate 940 panels (wall length 2,351 m) and 470 each for primary and secondary. Overcut may be reduced for short panel base on site trial.

4.5 Concreting Concrete (Plastic Concrete with strength 1~2 MPa recommended) will be supplied to site in

ready-mix trucks at a rate sufficient to ensure at least 15 m3/hour per tremie. The number of

tremie pipes will be determined primarily by the length of the panel to be concreted. For panels up to 3-m long one tremie, for longer panels two tremie pipes will be used. Before the commencement of each pour a sacrificial buffer between bentonite and concrete will be placed in each tremie to hinder mixing and concrete segregation. This buffer may take the form of a plastic bag filled with rags or a rubber ball.

For the case of two or three tremie pipes, tow or three trucks respectively will be required to start the pour to ensure that no bentonite is trapped by concrete at the bottom of a panel. During

concreting the tremie pipes will be kept continuously immersed in the fresh concrete by a minimum of 3 meters. For multiple tremie pours the level of the concrete in each tremie will be regularly checked in order to ensure that the difference in level is limited in order to avoid bentonite inclusions in the finished wall.

The bentonite displaced during concreting will be pumped to storage tanks. However, the last approx. 2 m depth of bentonite in the panel, i.e. the bentonite in contact with the fresh concrete will be wasted.

5 GL -58.0m ~ -60.0m See Figure 8.1 10~15 m3/hr (by Cutter BC 32)

*G.L. +0.0 ~ -3.0m top 3m pre-excavated by excavator.

The performance is strictly based on the soil conditions and where not available in enough details the assumptions made by Bauer. If the soil conditions differ from ones in this Method Statement other performance value may be applicable. The production rates are gross values. Efficiency factors should be added to these values. The values are estimated figures based on past project experience. They are tabulated without liability.

5.2 The production rate:

Positioning & Pipes Connection 1.0 hrs

Layer 1 (2.8m x 1.0m x 12.0m) / (10~15 m3/hr)= 2.2 ~ 3.4 hrs

Layer 2 (2.8m x 1.0m x 23.0m) / (20~25 m3/hr)= 2.6 ~ 3.2 hrs

Layer 3 (2.8m x 1.0m x 12.0m) / (15~20 m3/hr)= 1.7 ~ 2.2 hrs

Layer 4 (2.8m x 1.0m x 8.0m) / (15~20 m3/hr)= 1.1 ~ 1.5 hrs

Layer 5 (2.8m x 1.0m x 2.0m) / (10~15 m3/hr)= 0.4 ~ 0.6 hrs

Total hours for one cut (instant output) 9.0 ~ 11.9 hrs

The estimated wall volume is 117,550 m3 in total.

(117,550 m3) /(9.33~7.06 m3/hr)= 12,600 ~ 16,650 hrs

Assume plastic concrete, strength 1~2 MPa, used for Cut-Off Wall.

(12,600 ~ 16,650)hrs/(20 hrs/day x 26 days/month x 2 rigs) = 12 ~ 16 months

Above estimation is exclusive of equipment mobilization and commissioning, site preparation (guide wall, working plateform, set-up of slurry plant and pipes), , changing of working phases, monsoon and demobilization.

6. Cut-Off Wall Plastic Concrete Mix

See Appendix B

7. Estimation on Diesel and Bentonite Consumption

Diesel for BC 32 on HS 885: 800 – 1000 litre/day (20 working hours), per unit

Service crane: 150 – 200 litre/day (20 working hours)

Generators (total 1000 KVA): 2000 – 2500 litre/day (20 working hours)

Backhoe: 80 – 120 litre/day (20 working hours)

Bentonite (for slurry only): 80 kg/m3 (total approximate 9,400 ton based on excavated wall volume 117,550 m3 )

The values are estimated figures based on past project experience. They are tabulated without liability.

8. Required Material for First Starting Due to the jobsite situation and equipment transportation schedule, 2 months operation time before the coming raining season maybe achieved. Based on the experience of other COW projects, the COW output of first 2 months will be lower than average because of some reasons like operator training, site arrangement..etc. One single bite panel (for 60m deep) per day is a fair production rate. 60m x 1.0m x 2.8m x 60 days = 10,080 m3

The estimation material for COW construction for 2 months (10% additional): (THIS ESTIMATE IS BASED ON THE MIX DESIGN OF PREVIOUS PROJECT) Item Material Quantity Remark 1 Cement 1,700 ton 2 Bentonite 220 ton For plastic concrete 3 Aggregate 20mm 6,300 ton 4 Aggregate 10mm 2,720 ton 5 Sand 9,100 ton 6 Bentonite 300 ton For bentonite slurry

As such quantity of sand and aggregate are required to start the COW construction. The sand and gravel on the downstream (or upstream) should be used after laboratory test.

Due to the plastic concrete mixing design has not been finalized yet, the concrete mixing ratio of previous cut-off wall project at Dhauliganga H.E. Project in India 2002~2003 list in table B1 for your reference. The material (sand, aggregate, bentonite…etc.) for Tamanthi COW are also pending, Bauer recommend to prepare few sample with the material, what will be used to construct COW for laboratory test, and also to prepare a testing cell to execute pumping test and excavation to approve the permeability of plastic concrete satisfy the design requirement and joints inspection. Testing cell arrangement see figure B.1.

Typical Mixing ratio for one batch: Cement 150kg Water 318kg Sand 816kg Aggregate 10mm* 245kg Aggregate 20mm* 571kg Bentonite 20kg * Crushed rock. Plastic concrete figures: Slump 165~195mm Air content 1.4~1.7% Unconfined strength 1.5~2.5MPa Confined strength 2.5~3.5MPa Strain failure (unconfined) 5~7% Permeability 1x10-8m/s Young’s modulus Es 200~400MPa

Table B1, Plastic concrete mixing ratio and specification of Dhauliganga H.E. Project, India The mix design has to be approved by the PROJECT CONSULTANT prior to commencement. After erection and commissioning of the BC cutter a trial cut is proposed to be performed downstream of the cut off wall. This single cut shall be left open for several days whilst the Bentonite level is maintained. The trial panel will show the cutter’s workability to the final depth and allow to find important data on the stability of the trench. Upon completion of the test, the trench shall be bachfilled with Cement Bentonite mix. Suitability Test: A test cell may be constructed to test the suitability of the overall system. The ideal location of Test Cell is near the existing borehole which with clear bedrock information. The testing cell is a combination of 6 panels, one large 6.8m primary panel with triple bite excavation, two 2.8m primary panels, and three 2.8m secondary panels with 300mm over-cut length on both sides. The depth of COW panel should key into suitable rock as the PROJECT CONSULTANT requirement (2m rock socketing). Pumping test shall be executed 7 days after complete the concreting of last panel. Excavation in the middle to inspect the over-cut joints shall be executed 28 days after the testing cell completed. (Permeability test see figure B.2) The following will be monitored during testing cell installation:

Further soil investigation Based on the available information on site, most of the soil investigation borehole stopped at 50m depth. So far, those SI data are not able to identify the sound rock level clearly. Further soil investigation down to sound rock level is necessary. The ideal location of borehole should combine the geophysical data and existing profile, 2 boreholes should located at the deepest rock level area on the dam axis (see figure 7.1). Then further SI at every 50~100m on the dam axis to clearly identify the rock level are recommended.

2 boreholes at deepest rock level area
