the dredging is partially complete, the loose material is removed from the dredge hole using the plate gran and is dumped outside the area of well, later this dredged material shall be disposed to nearby area provided by engineer.

The sinking history would be recorded in the format as provided in the technical specification (Appendix 1200/I, MoRT&H).

The sinking level is monitored at regular intervals of 500mm.

6.5 Well Steining and Sinking:

Page 12: Well Foundation Methodology

The steps involved in the Steining are:-

appropriate steel for false steining, grooves for precast beams to support false work for well cap.

De - shuttering:

Page 13: Well Foundation Methodology

The inner and outer form panels are removed after 12 hours of the concrete finished time.

Steining Sinking:Following the de shuttering of steining lift, gauge marking is carried out at both axes in line with well curb marking and reference height is marked on the wall surface. The sinking operation would be started after 16 hrs of concreting for steining.

Sinking of wells shall be carried out by dredge hole method by using the following steps:

Sinking operation:

The sinking operation involves lowering of the well by dredging in the dredge hole. Plate grab shall be used in case of soft strata like sandy silt, soft clay, dense sand,

etc. In case of hard clay, stiff clay strata heavy-duty chisel shall be used, followed by

dredging using Tyne grab. Levels and alignment of well shall be checked regularly interval of 1hr of sinking to

observe the tilt and shift of the well at closer intervals if the visual observation demands.

Sinking operation shall be preferably carry out round the clock under skilled supervision.

Dredged materials shall be disposed off to locations designated by the Engineer.

The above cycle of well steining and sinking shall be repeated up to the last lift of the well until well reaches to the founding level.

Precautions during sinking:

When the wells have sunk close to each other and clear distance between them is not greater than the diameter of wells, sinking shall be taken up on all wells and they shall be sunk alternately.

Before seasonal floods all wells on which sinking is in progress shall be to sufficient depths below the designed scour level.

Very deep sump shall not be made below the well curb. The depth of sump shall not exceed 3.0m below the level of cutting edge unless otherwise specifically permitted by Engineer.

Dewatering is avoided if sand blows are expected.

Page 14: Well Foundation Methodology

Tilts and Shifts:

The wells shall be sunk into earth with in permissible limit of tilt and shift:-

The dredging operation shall be carried out uniformly over the dredge hole area. When the minor tilt and shift occurs the same shall be corrected by controlled grabbing or partial dredging in the direction opposite to tilt.

In case of tilt/shift is excessive, following method shall be adopted for correcting the same.

1. Eccentric Kentledge Loading.2. Providing Temporary obstacles beneath the cutting edge.3. Pull the well by winches.

Procedure for monitoring Tilts and shifts:

Tilts and shifts is monitored by:-

Checking the levels at fixed gauge mark on both of the opposite faces along axes of well. Levels are checked from the reference pillars along the axes established in advance for this purpose. The difference in level will establish the tilt along the axis. It is designated as ratio of difference in level to dia of well. Such checking and recording of tilts and shifts are done at regular intervals depending upon the rate of sinking but at least once a day, provided there has been sinking of the well.

The tilt of any well shall not be exceed 1 (horizontal) in 80 (vertical), and the shift at the well base shall not be more than 150mm in any resultant direction. Measurement for tilt shall be taken every day are recorded.

Sinking history of well shall be maintained in the format given in Appendix 1200/I, MORT&H
