    This procedure describes recovering a Kelly bar from a borehole using two cranes when the wire rope is damaged. [1] The first crane will lift the Kelly bar out of the borehole while the second crane assists. [2] If the Kelly bar cannot be fully removed, stopper plates will be welded to the bar and the lower section removed. [3] Once fully removed, the boring machine's mast will be lowered to replace the damaged wire rope.

    Method Statement

    (Recovering Rig Kelly bar from borehole with cranes)

    (REVISION 1)

    (08-06-2023)

    TPW ENGINEERING PTE LTD


    Recovery Procedure
    (Hoisting Kelly bar with damaged wire rope from borehole with two cranes)

    Scope

    This procedure describes using a mobile / crawler crane to lift a boring


    machine’s Kelly bar from a borehole when the wire rope on the Kelly bar is
    damaged because it risks dropping the Kelly bar into the borehole.

    1) Rig a lifting line from a crane to the top lifting point on the Kelly bar. If the
    lifting point is high, the access will be by using either a man cage suspended by
    a crane or a boom lift.

    2) Ensure the top of Kellybar secured and hoisted by the crane (C1).
    3a) Slowly and gently raise the Kelly up with crane(C2) assist until the whole Kelly
    bar is out of the borehole. Swing the boring machine to the side of the borehole
    to dismount the boring bucket/auger etc.

    To prevent the potential collision, the hoisting procedure to be supervised


    closely by competent TPW staff, and the two crane operators involved in the
    recovery are to be briefed to swing the crane in the opposite direction against
    each other.
    3b) This procedure will be applied when kellybar can not be fully extracted in
    step (3a).

    The remaining sections of kellybar will be removed from the borehole via the
    following method:

    To provide two plates (min.20mm thickness) that will be welded to the Kelly
    bar as a stopper to prevent it from falling into the borehole. (The steel plate
    stopper as shown in the photos below)

    The sketch of the stopper plate and welding shown as below:

    6mm fillet weld

    500mm Length 300mm one side

    Min.350mm

    Welding check: Kellybar

    Design Shear Strength of Weld:

    fvw.d = (fu / SQRT(3)) / (βw x ɣM2)= (435/1.73)/(1.25*1.0)=200 N/mm2

    Required Welding Length by fillet weld 6mm, kellybar weight 10 tons:

    Lreq = Fw.Rd / (fvw.d x a)=10*1000*10/(200*0.38*6)=220mm

    Total welding length provided 300mm X2 = 600mm, welding length is sufficient.


    Cut the Kelly bar above the stopper plates.

    Slowly and gently raise the Kelly up with one crane until the whole Kelly bar is
    out of the borehole. Swing the boring machine to the side of the borehole to
    dismount the boring bucket/auger etc.

    To hook the lower Kelly bar with a shackle and wire rope to the stopper plates.

    Unhook the crane lifting line from the boring machine Kelly bar, slowly and
    gently lower the boring machine’s mast to a horizontal position to replace the
    Kellybar’s wire rope. Replacement of wire rope shall be in accordance to
    Operation & Maintenance Manual of the Boring Rig where available.

    4) Lower and rest the Kelly bar on the ground. Secure two lifting slings with
    SWL higher than the weight of the Kelly bar to the lifting point of the rotator
    mechanism to prevent it from sliding down during the lowering of the boring
    machine’s mast.
    5) Unhook the crane lifting line from the boring machine Kelly bar, slowly and
    gently lower the boring machine’s mast to a horizontal position to replace the
    Kellybar’s wire rope. The Replacement of wire rope shall be in accordance with
    the Boring Rig's Operation & Maintenance Manual where available.

    *Where repair or service manual is not available from the manufacturer, a


    similar model manual shall be used as a reference as most boring machine
    design and functions are similar in nature.

    6) Old wire rope shall be wound out of the drum and replaced with new wire
    rope with the right specifications.
