ARCs initial comments on construction method of substructure rev 00

, 29/05/2017
Refer to the latest submission of construction method statement, we
have Initial comments as below:
Part 1 : Comments on Drawings
1. Opening:
a. Need to update the latest Openings from EI. 10. There is lack of
Opening of lifts, MEP, staircase .
b. Opening of core wall area must limited within internal perimeter of
corewall so that the construction of corewall can start after
completion for concreting of b2 slab
c. Opening at Ramp area: need to make alignment from top to bottom
so that it uses for excavation and transportation.
d. Request to checking the Opening of lift core/ stair/ MEP for
substructure package, because there are some lifts or Opening will
stop at B2.
e. Opening for safety walk way to go up and down lower level
f. Opening for ventilation (included fresh air supply and exhaust fan)
g. Opening for installation of temporary sump pit (rain season)
h. Typical skirt of opening to prevent water over flow from ground floor
i. The need to setting out dimension of Opening to make sure that this
is enough with the arm length of excavator / rebar

2. King post:
a. Need to update the latest King post layout + piles. Now, CTC are
using the old layout of Kingpost and mass pile drawing.
b. Name of Kingpost need to same as Approval shop drawing
c. Update correct King Post size, section to anticipate the risk or
checking conflict position with other structural elements
d. Upper part connection of King post: need to be planed for site
welding and input in the method
e. Typical connection of Kingpost with: slab, beam or core wall. Need
to be planed typical formwork. Technical team needs to have
structural analysis at the cap of kingpost.
f. The current design of Kingpost has checked and confirmed by the
third parties checker
There is not allow to change if it does not pass approval process.

3. Steel bracing system:

a. To clarify typical section of each steel element, length, connection
b. Hydraulic jack to Pre-loading before excavation (check load from
Plaxis model)
c. How to support the steel bracing system as mentioned. How to
work on safety way on erection / pre-load / demolition
d. Check if install steel bracing for mini bored pile at lift core area. The
capping beam need also. Current design, there is no horizontal or
vertical steel frame to supporting.

4. Sequence of work:
a. The Capping beam must be carryout before full excavation of B1
slab. it must be planned right now during shaft grouting for pilling
 (zone by zone, segment by segment ) This will help to quick
process for formwork and backprop system and safety reason.
b. Construction of lift core will start immediately after concreting of b2
slab . Temporary working platform to saving timeline sothat we can
start the super
c. Dewatering sequence must be updated on excavation program

5. Site arrangement:
a. New washing bay during basement excavation, detail section, when
do plan to build it?
b. Update exactly dimension of excavation and truck then estimate the
work flow for site traffic issue. As you knew that we have the
upstand slab at ground floor (change level), so there is limited of
spacing. Need to control the truck in out in properly way sothat we
have speed up excavation program and soil removal

6. Mini bored pile construction:

a. Need to check the necessary to have full mini bored pile go around
lift core area or not. Otherwise, to consider having 1 side Open
excavation with Slope of 1: 1 or 0.5
By this way, the excavator can work properly for soil disposal and to
make shorten construction schedule. Need to check slope stability
refer to soil properties data (Optional, to reduce construction
duration)
b. Need to enlarge drawing this area to check:
- How to drill machine to work (check and show clearance and
step by step for this activity)
- Spacing for installation of rebar/ formwork (next stage)
- Steel bracing system / capping beam.

7. Dewatering:
- Need to update typical of water well ( gieng bom)
- How to protect it during excavation
- How to collect and dispose the water (by PVC pipe system,
where to go)? sequence to make sure that the underground
water level is following to Specification (when do you use all
pump, how long )
- Sequences to check the underground water level during
construction

8. Excavation Programme and soil disposal:

a. Need to clarify quantity/ capacity of excavator for each stage (back-
up plan)
b. Need to clarify target for quantities of truck come in out for each
day; work shift in day and night
c. Quantities of Breaker hammer to hacking the top of DW for
construction of capping beam (machine and hand tool)
d. Quantities of Breaker hammer to hacking pile head for construction
of capping beam

9. Improvement of soft soil and Pour lean concrete:

 a. Typical method to treatment soft soil before pouring clean
concrete? for each Basement level?
b. Strength of lean concrete (R3, R5, R7) after pouring to match
construction program milestone?
c. Settlement in limited and allowance under construction dead
load and live load?

Note : detail formworks / scaffolding , propping, starter bar / coupler , shear stud
will comment later. The manpower/ equipment schedule will comment later.

Part 2: Calculation, GEO analysis, structural analysis:

1. There is some basic analysis. However, refer to Decision No 44/ QD - UBND
2016 dated 11/04/2016, the contractor need to have detail calculation
for method statement as the list below. refer to Item 4:

Note:
- Item c, d to be independent contractor which hired by Owner
( Cogeco)
- Item e may not use
So Item a,b, f,g must be strictly control . The Output data from Plaxis model need
to have specify facts and figure to shown and conclusion that these requirements
are matched and controlled. It must be updated to drawing method as
mentioned.

2. Calculation for mini bored pile:

 a. To be confirm the mini bored pile can stand alone without capping
beam or brace frame
b. Calculation for sliding of slope
3. Calculation for King post:
- King post to support for beam / slab / core wall at intersection
point (beam or column cap)

4. Steel bracing system:

- Calculation for Steel section, capacity of jack, pre-load value
- Temporary system to support for steel bracing system as above
