drilling process of bored hole, the soil wall will be protected from collapse by the provision of bentonite slurry and temporary steel pipe casing Prior to drilling works, the stabilization liquid as the bentonite suspension will be prepared and tested to meet the criteria which will be proposed before commencement Bentonite will be mixed thoroughly with clean fresh water to make a suspension which will maintain the stability of the drilled hole for the period of casting concrete and complete construction Dry powder Bentonite is mixed with clean water according to required ratio by mixing machine and stored in the tanks which will supply to bored hole The drilling fluid properties of bentonite slurry will be measured by taking samples before concreting The density of freshly mixed bentonite slurry will be measured as a check on the quality of the suspension being formed b) Setting up of Bentonite Plant The following are the various stages of works in the setting up of site facilities: Setting up Installation of desander unit Preparation and levelling of ground Installation of bentonite silos Setting up of bentonite plant facilities Layout of bentonite and water piping systems Pre-mixing of bentonite slurry on site HCMC Metro Cp-2 Project TITLE : Method Statement of Bored Pile Con struction On Land Doc.No.: HCMC-2600000-CWS-MST00003 Date: 19th Feb 2013 Rev.No : B Page : 10 of 31 c) Bentonite Slurry Mix Design Basic function of bentonite is to act as a stabilizing agent for the bored hole In soil with high clay content, the bentonite slurry becomes very thick during excavation due to the suspended clay particles The thick slurry becomes difficult to pump for desanding To avoid this problem, a polymer / sodium bi-carbonate is added to the slurry d) Testing Bentonite Slurry Bentonite Slurry Testing: The following tests will be conducted on bentonite slurry at the beginning and during bored pile construction period Viscosity test - test on site Sand Content – test on site Density test - test on site pH meter test - test on site Bentonite characteristics have to meet the requirement (refer to Sub-clause 6.3 Tolerance/Range, page 24-25) The bentonite properties shall be measured by taking samples at the bottom of bored hole before concreting All checking of bentonite slurry shall be carried out complying with the criteria proposal The measuring device shall be calibrated to read in the minimum unit of 0.01gm/ml 0.5-1.0 m above G.L Bentonite Fig.7 Bentonite Slurry HCMC Metro Cp-2 Project TITLE : Method Statement of Bored Pile Con

concrete pouring continuously without interruption Hence the top of concrete is contaminated by mixing with stabilization liquid; extra volume of concrete is to be used for confirmation of the clean concrete The height of extra or surplus concrete is proposed to be more than 0.5m from cut-off level; however this may be adjusted in consideration of the site condition Tremie pipes are chocked with tremie support and clean immediately after disconnection to avoid clogging of concrete inside of the pipes It is required to check the elevation of casting concrete in the bored hole by special tape and plumb to control elevation of the tremie pipe bottom suitably and to detect immediately any collapsing or narrowing of bored holes Collapse or necking of borehole may be detected by comparison of the calculated volume of the bored hole with the actual volume of concrete poured into the borehole (10) Removal of Temporary Casing Temporary casing shall be withdrawn 15 minutes to 20 minutes after concreting by using the draw and spin system of drilling machine or using vibro-system in vertical direction to make sure the stability of pile head and degree of accuracy of pile center After removal of temporary casing, from hour to hours, the bored hole will be filled by soil and/or sand 3.1 RESOURCES TO BE USED EQUIPMENT TO BE USED For the successful implementation of bored piling works, the

initiates coordination with relevant inspection parties HSE Manager: Carry out the necessary measures and/or procedures to ensure the implementation of HSET Plan (Health, Safety, Environment, and Traffic) CONTINGENCY AND SOLUTION The possible contingency and solution during piling work will be described below 4.1 (1) CONTINGENCY OF DRILLING WORK Sand piping The steel standing casing will be installed into the ground to protect the drilled hole from collapsing due to the weight of working machines However, piping may occur due to insufficient penetration depth or penetrating into a sand layer This occurrence may result in water level dropping suddenly, drilling surface collapsing, and the standing casing lowering or tilting To solve this situation, either increases the casing length or withdraws the casing and backfill immediately and re-excavate after the backfill consolidated (2) Collapse because of excessive loads Potential collapse may occur due to the excessive loads Before drilling, equipment which is not necessary should be removed for drilling Increasing the viscosity of slurry or the length of standing casing may reduce the risk of collapse When large collapse happens, all the equipment will be removed and the hole will be backfilled immediately For several days, the pile could be drilling again after covering the ground of the borehole with steel plates and increasing the casing length (if necessary) (3) Insufficient water head Insufficient water head in the drilled hole may result in the collapsing of the drilling surface Spillage leakage into ground may occur while the high permeable layer is encountered Therefore, the water level within the drilled hole shall be inspected regularly and frequently Additional slurry or other solutions may be needed to keep slurry from flowing into the high permeable layer (4) Vibration effect The distribution of heavy equipment should be located evenly around the piling area to avoid excessive loads or unbalanced loads Also, vibration effect may occur due to earth tremor or ground shaking caused by heavy equipment According to previous working experience, heavy equipment should be placed at a good distance away from the borehole location to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel during piling work (5) Hindrances in pile position In some occasions, huge rock or rotten wood may be encountered during drilling Care and patience should be taken to break or penetrate such objects Increasing working torque or rate may cause ground shaking and damage the drilling surface (6) Drill bit and pipe dropping During the drilling process, it is possible that the drilling bit and pipe snaps and drops suddenly down to the drilled hole When this accident happens, workers stop drilling and try to hook and drag the dropped bit and pipe immediately with the wire with hook of crane 4.2 CONTINGENCY OF SUCCESSIVE WORK (1) Rebar cage dropping into the drilled hole When the rebar cage drops into the drilled hole, the installation should be stopped immediately The dropped cage should be recovered by using the wire with hook, which is enough to recover the falling cage After recovering, the condition of the cage should be check to make sure that the cage quality is still accepted for structural use Another section will be needed if the cage is not accepted In order to prevent the cage from falling or dropping, the connecting points among rebars and hanging bars should be carefully inspected After removing the rebar cages the depth of borehole shall be checked again to make sure the drilled depth before re-installing rebar cages (2) Tremie pipe dropping into the hole before concrete placing Care should be taken while inserting tremie pipes into the hole When the tremie pipe is dropped into the hole before concrete placing, the work should be stopped A large hook will be used for recovering the dropping pipe from the hole and resume the work (3) Tremie pipe out of the placed concrete - (4) If the bottom of tremie pipe be out of the placed concrete due to the pipe blocked, it is a practicable choice to re-penetrate the cleaned tremie pipes into the placed concrete before the initial set of concrete, to vacuum water and slurry in the tremie pipe and to continue placing concrete The procedure of work shall be checked carefully at the points of: The taken time should less than the setting time of used concrete and as soon as possible The volume of bentonite slurry inside the tremie pipe The toe of tremie pipe inside poured concrete at least 2m The procedure of the treatment shall be recorded completely and accurately The integrity test of the pile shall be executed after days to confirm the structural capability Collapse during concrete placing When placing concrete, there are chances that the wall of hole has collapsed if the water level suddenly increases or decreases The placing work should be stopped immediately, and check the elevation of the concrete surface carefully Base on actual elevation and collapsed quantity, decide to stop pouring or continue placing concrete after discussion with the Employer’s Representative on site 5.1 5.2 GROUND MOVEMENT AND SOLUTION GROUND MOVEMENT - The ground movement could happen due to bored piling works especially: - If borehole wall is collapsed and surrounding soils are flowing into the boreholes together with groundwater - If groundwater flows into the boreholes together with soils at the base of the boreholes (boiling of sandy soil ground at the base of the borehole) - If groundwater level of surrounding ground was lowered SOLUTION In order to prevent ground movement during piling work, these solutions will be applied: - In case of problem arise, bentonite shall be densified and extend the temporary casing - Bentonite shall be kept more than 1.5m above from existing groundwater level, described in fig 13 Fig 13 Bentonite and ground water level 6.1 QUALITY
