Excavation

Generally the construction of lift station will be done by sinking method, wherein
the reinforced concrete structure element will be divided into two segments. These
are the following step for the construction of the creek interceptor as follows:

Casting of first segment of lift station


The steps of the construction for the first segment are as follows:
Installation of pre-bended reinforcing steel bars with indicative depth of
2.5m
FFCCI engineer will check and inspect if the reinforcing steel bars will comply
the design drawing and specifications of the MWCI.
Install outside and inner side wall forms
Place structural concrete. The first segment has a slanting sharp edge of
around 0.50 meters in depth
Allow the concrete to hardened and then stripped out the wall forms
Check the in-situ concrete compressive strength if it passes to the
requirement
Construction of Structure
H-beam will be driven by using vibro hammer which serve as guide and
boundary for excavation
Unsuitable materials will be removed at required depth by using excavator
with clamshell bucket attachment.
Hauled and disposed spoil material using dump truck;
Install the first segment of the structure by lifting of lattice boom crane
Survey checks the position of the install first segment. Once that the depth of
excavated area reaches the required height of the first segment, it is
automatically sink inside the excavation.
Repeat the method until it reaches the bottom part of the structure.
Level and Compact the bottom area of the construction.
Place , level and compact the necessary bedding at the required depth
Place lean concrete on the bottom area
Drill hole on both side of the wall and install anchor bar end to end of the
wall. Apply epoxy on the drill hole allowing to act as bonding agent of
concrete and the bar
Install pre-bended reinforcing steel bars on the bottom slab as per required
drawing
Place concrete in the prepared concrete structure;
Allow the concrete to cure and attain its required compressive strength;
;Set-up and installation of the structure auxiliary mechanism to make fully
functional and operational

Once the lean concrete has been cured and hardened, layout of the structure
over the lean concrete by putting a ink marks;
Install and assembles the pre-bended reinforcing steel bars;
Install wall forms and embedded items;
Check the line and grade as well as the assembled reinforcing bars;
Place concrete in the prepared concrete structure;
Allow the concrete to cure and attain its required compressive strength;
Stripping of wall forms will commence;
Set-up and installation of the structure auxiliary mechanism to make fully
functional and operational

Placing of reinforced concrete for the first segment of the construction of lift station

Install pre-bended reinforcing steel bars and fix in accordance with the
design drawing and specifications of the fi
Install and fix side forms
Quality inspection and approval
Order concrete placed with the aid of concrete pump machine or crane
bucket method
Allow concrete to cure and gain its required compressive strength
Strip-off column forms
Repeat the same steps until the completion of the works

Figure shows on installation of column forms as follows:
