3.1 Monitoring Procedure :

1. A thorough survey will be conducted and assessment of the surrounding area is done as
per the drawings and survey team.

2. Precise mechanical equipment and technique to be followed:

 tremie pipes with male and female connections

 rubber O-Rings for a water tightness of pipe connections

 tremie locking ropes
 1 x lifting cap
 1 x tremie support fork to rest the string on the guide wall
 1 x 1.2-meter diameter conical shape hopper with lifting rope tremie hopper at the top.

3. Monitoring systems like vibration monitors and crack gauges will be installed as per the
requirement

4. Consider underpinning or shoring techniques for additional support to be provided if

construction is to be done near building areas

Page 10 of 13
 5. Temporary support systems are provided along with temporary guide walls to restrict any
kind of flow or vibration to to area under vicinity of diaphragm wall

 Construction logs of equipment and approximate time frames are to be maintained

during the construction of construction
 Vibration monitoring is done during the entire process
Prior to construction activity, it can be desirable to establish a benchmark,
Prior to the commencement of the concrete pouring process, proper quality checks for the
workability of concrete will be made. The installed tremie pipe(s) shall be plugged with a
temporary plug (concreting ball or polystyrene pieces in a bag, etc.) in order to avoid
contamination of the concrete by the slurry contained in the tremie pipe during the priming (first
pouring of the concrete).
The poured concrete through the hopper will force the temporary plug in the tremie pipe ahead
of the concrete and prevent any contamination of the concrete by the slurry contained in the
tremie pipe.
To ensure this requirement until the completion of the panel pouring procedure, the concrete
supply shall be continuous and interruptions should not exceed 15 min.
To ensure an approximate horizontal level of the poured concrete in the panel at all times, two
tremie pipe sets in large panels will be placed and charged with equal distribution.
In order to get non-contaminated concrete approx. 0.50 to 1.0 m over-placement on top of the
designed cut-off level will be performed.
Earliest Time of Excavating Secondary Panels
Excavation of the secondary panels will be done after the poured concrete in the adjacent panel
has gained sufficient strength to be freestanding and avoid any kind of shear failures in
surrounding areas.
The required curing period shall be determined on-site for the particular properties of the
concrete produced under mass production on-site.
Generally, the time for overcutting of primary panels will be a matter of several days. However,
from experience with similar concrete mix designs used on other sites, a minimum of 24 hrs
shall elapse before secondary panels are excavated in-between previously cast primary panels.
Disposal of Excavated Spoil
Spoil removed from the excavation shall be separated from the slurry employed in the
excavation process with the help of desanding unit BE 500. It shall be disposed of at the site
after the water in it is evaporated sufficiently and as quickly as possible to an approved dump
site by using dumpers and shovel loaders in such a manner that spillage and annoyance are
minimized and as described in the waste disposal plan. Please refer to Construction
Environmental Management.

Disposal of Waste Slurry

After a certain number of cycles, the working slurry will not be recyclable anymore due to
contamination of cement & fines. The physical properties of the slurry will be monitored to
decide when to dispose of the slurry. The slurry will be disposed of at designated locations as
described in Environmental Management.

Page 11 of 13
Necessary HSE Arrangement will be done to check any kind of unwanted flow of slurry water to
the surrounding areas

Vibration Monitoring
Vibrations will be monitored in every 3 hours on daily basis to avoid any kind of damage.
Necessary HSE Arrangement will be done to check any kind of unwanted flow of slurry water to
the surrounding areas

Before casting of Diaphragm wall Inclinometer Casing in Diaphragm wall will be done to avoid
vibrations and damage to adjacent surrounding areas.

 Direct installation of an inclinometer casing in the diaphragm is not recommended.

The inclinometer casing will get distorted and stressed when firmly tied to a steel
structure from bottom to top.
 It is also no good to directly expose the casing to the heat of hydration and stresses
generated during the concreting process. The casing may distort and even get cracked.
Note: It is recommended that an auxiliary guide pipe be installed adjacent to the main guide pipe
at 1.25 m approx. center to the center distance at critical monitoring locations.
This auxiliary pipe can be used in case the main pipe gets choked and becomes useless due to
any reason.
 Weld guides the pipe firmly to the cage. Ensure that it remains vertical and is least
distorted during the lowering of the cage.
 Concrete cage after covering the mouth of guide pipe.
 Flush the guide pipe clean with water and verify depth with the help of a suitable depth
measuring device (e.g. a sounding chain) that it is fully open up to the bottom.
Note: Ensure that the heat of hydration of mass concrete has dissipated before installing the
access casing in the guide pipe. Use a temperature probe for this purpose. The temperature
should not exceed 40°C. The heat of hydration, if present may warp the access casing and
render installation useless.
 Lower casing with bottom cap into guide pipe gripping it with the safety clamp secured
around 500 mm from the top.
Note: Maintain one pair of casing grooves parallel to the direction in which lateral movement is
to be measured i.e. perpendicular to the diaphragm wall.
 Take a casing pre-assembled with a fixed coupling, having a safety clamp secured
around 500 mm from its top end, and mate it with the pipe already lowered through the
coupling end. Pop-rivet the fixed coupling to the lowered casing at four places.
 Seal the joint with mastic waterproof tape and BOPP tape. Remove the safety clamp
from the first casing and lower jointed casings into the guide pipe.
