| DewateringDewatering | To setup a cofferdam dewatering system, including boring, pump installation and outflow pipework and drainage tanks etc, typical rates are...Small 2 hole system, for an overrun tunnel, with a single drilling rig takes about 7 - 10 days to get up and running.A larger system, with 10 - 15 holes, for a station type cofferdam will take in the region of 3 weeks with 2 rigs. This can be speeded up with the use of more rigs to reduce the well boring times.A typical rate of 2.5 days per pump installation can be used to calculate detailed pumping arrangements. The water level can be dropped in a "closed cofferdam" within a 6 to 8 hour period for a 25,000 m2 cofferdam with a 2 m water level reduction. For smaller closed areas it will take only a few hours at most to reduce the water level by 2.5 - 3 metres.Recharge System - Average well depth of say 55 m deep, not into rock, 9 wells in 10 days or 1.11 days/no with an additional 4 - 5 days to connect pipework and recharge backup tanks etc.DewateringTask / DescriptionSlow Ave Fast Units Setup small 2 hole system10.0 8.0 6.0 days Setup large 15 hole system- 21.0 - days Calculate system times per pump- 2.5 - days/pump Setup Recharge System- 3.5 - days/pump | — | Dewatering |

| Escalator Installation Building Services / E&M | Modular Design Escalators PackagesThe escalator trusses are usually delivered in 1.6 m cubes, which include the internal workings etc. Normally 3 to 4 sections go to make up a standard escalator (an 11 m rise), however sizes and lengths vary greatly.Delivery ImplicationsThe largest single element is the nose piece which is approximately 1.8 m wide, 3 m long and 2.5 m high. This section weight 1,500 kg. The other truss sections weight only 1,000 kg at most. The maximum weight of an entire escalator (10 m rise) is estimated at 15,000 kg. It is usual to being the escalators in from the top landing and lower the whole truss down into its final position. Power supply being 415 volt 3 phase hard wired, T&C may be done with temporary supplies.Typical Project StrategySequence /timing of works:16 wks = Develop concept design / submit for approval.12 wks = Prepare preliminary design / submit for approval.60 wks = Manufacture, test & site delivery, in conjunction with completion of final design.4 wks = Initial delivery placing and connection of truss sections.12-16 wks = Install escalators and commission.12 wks = Test running of escalators.12 wks = Trial running of escalators / System Operational.Typical Escalator Installation Sequence Timing of single escalator:1 wks = Assemble sections and truss position, align, level.6 wks = Escalator contractor "stop work" period, to allow ABWF contractor to complete surrounding finishes.5 wks = Final escalator installation, "Phase B" decking installation and glazing etc.0 wks = Escalator Power-On required.2 wks = Test performance "Phase C" prior to escalator Test Running.2 wks = Full load test "Phase D" of escalator.1 wks = Final test "Phase E"1 wks = EMSD Inspection of installation.1 wks = "Phase F" inspection.Total installation time being 12 - 14 weeks, excluding the "Stop Work" period during which the civil finishing works are completed.Task / DescriptionSlow Ave Fast Units Truss type, Overall Installation (excl arch finishes)14.0 12.0 11.0 wks Truss type, Manufacture, test and deliver- 60.0 48.0 wks Truss type, Phase A assemble truss , position/level- 1.0 - wks Truss type, Stop-Work for surrounding finishes8.0 6.0 4.0 wks Truss type, Phase B decking and glazing etc- 5.0 - wks Truss type, Phase C performance testing- 2.0 - wks Truss type, Phase D full load testing- 2.0 - wks Truss type, Phase E final test and inspection- 2.0 - wks | — | Escalator Installation |

| Fibre CablesBuilding Services / E&M | There are 4 phases to laying fibre cables - The laying of the duct, the pulling of the fibre cable, the splicing/terminating of the cable and the testing of the cable.The production rate for the laying of the duct will be as any similar small diameter pipe and dependent on the location and linear distance.The cable pulling phase has less to do with the length of the pull and much more to do with the number of pulls required - ie draw pit to draw pit distance is less important than the number of times the cable pulling operation is started and stopped. Production is therefore the number of pulls per day. The installers will generally attempt to install the cable from termination point to termination point in one day. Depending on the environment, an assumption of one pull a day is conservative and 2 a day being more optimistic. Crew sizes are small, 3/4 operatives.The termination is obviously a speciallist job and likely to be carried out by different small crew than the pulling of the cable.The duration is dependent on the number of fibres in the cable, but an assumption of one day per location and another day for testing at that location is reasonable. | — | Fibre Cables |

| Hand Dug CaissonsFoundation Works | Principles Of Construction This type of "pile wall" is typical employed in areas where headroom or proximity to buildings restricts the use of large diameter bored pile drilling rigs, or where the wall is to be located very close to an existing structure. These are very time consuming and in allot of areas no-longer allowed as an acceptable safe construction method. Stringent air monitoring and safety isses are adhered to during the construction of the caisson. An electric chain block and hoist structure is maintained at the pile head for access and egress of both materials and operatives. Site Investigation / Advanced works Advanced grouting is often carried out around the group of caissons in order to reduce water inflow into the caisson area and provide adequate safety factor against base heave failer. Grouting of the area will also restrict ground settlement due to changes in the water table during caisson construction. A 75 mm diameter grout hole is drilled to 2 m belowthe specified toe of the caisson. On completion of drilling, a 40 mm inside diameter PVC, Tube-a-Manchette (T-A-M) grout tube will be installed to the bottom of the grout hole. The tube is usually perforated at 300 mm intervals with each perforation being covered by a tightly fitting rubber sleeve to act as one way valves. The grout hole is often backfilled with gravel and then pumped with grout to the specified pressures etc.. After each stage of grouting the T-A-M will be flushed with water to allow future grouting as necessary. The slightly conical excavation core is carried out by hand and a formwork erected and concrete placed in the void between the excavation and the internal formwork. Excavation down to the next level then begins. Excavation Of Caissons All excavation is carried out with air tools and shovels etc. Material is loaded into a 0.2 m3 drum skip. Hand excavation to a depth not exceeding 1 metre. Fix a suitably braced 3 segmented tapered shutter, fix reinformcement and pour concrete to fill all voids between the external face of the lining and the earth face. This operation is undertaken continously until the founding level is reached. Steel Reinforcement Reinformcement is placed either in prefabricated cages or directly erected in side the bores, depending on headroom and caisson access conditions. In some instances a steel "H" beam is installed in place of a reinforcement cage. Concreting Concrete is cast in place in one continuous operation using the tremmie pipe method, up to cutt-off level. The concrete is generally not vibrated. As-Built Examples Perimeter wall caissons, 800 mm diameter, excavated to a depth of 26 metres (HK Central Subway). Excavation Time 18 - 24 days Excavation to Concreteing Time 26 - 35 days Difficult ground of sea wall or ground obstructions can easily increase theoverall construction time to 50 or 150 days. | — | Hand Dug Caissons |
