| Secant PilingFoundation Works | Principles Of Construction Often known as "Benoto" piling, which is a type of trade name. Usually replaced by diaphragm walling methods. Essentially typical bored piles, or down-the hold type bored piles, are constructed with a spacing slightly smaller than the chosen diameter of the piles. Once a suitable length of piling has been completed, the "holes" are filled with a similar bored pile which intersects and "bites" into the two previously constructed piles. Usuall these piles are strengthened with a steel "H" pile, rather than the typical reinforcement cages used in standard bored piling. As-Built Examples Large diameter circular secant pile cofferdam. Structure consisting of 1,200 mm diameter secant piles to a depth of 20 which then stepped into 900 mm contiguous piles for a further 20 m depth. Each pile was probed to 10 m depth in advance. A total of 255 number piles were constructed. The "cofferdam" had a 1.4 m deep concrete base slab with a concrete lining to the walls. An intermediate concrete roof slab was placed to form an underground box structure. Overall construction time 12 weeks (Heathrow Express). | — | Secant Piling |

| Spoil By BargeExcavation Works | Removal / Transportation Of Spoil By Barge: The size, getting material to the facility, location and movement restrictions of the barge loading facilities are critical to production. A 2,000 m3 flat bottom barge, could easily be loaded 1.5 times per day, with a planned allowance of 2 no movements per day for example... 1,000 m3 barge, filled in 9.5 hrs = 2 movements/day 1,500 m3 barge, filled in 6.5 hrs = 3.5 movements/day | — | Spoil By Barge |
| Spoil By ConveyorExcavation Works | Removal / Transportation Of Spoil By Conveyor: The size and location of the conveyor are critical to production and should be sized according to the most critical peaks in excavation. There are the following parameters to select... Max excavation per hour 185 m3/hr Assume belt size 600 mm Assume conveyor trough angle 20 degrees From the above you read off specific parameters from the suppliers table... Recommended belt speed 150 m/min Angle of repose for dry sand 35 degrees Angle of surcharge 20 degrees You must then read off, from the manufacturers tables the conveyor capacity... Cross-sectional area of load 0.02979 m2 At a speed of 150 m/min gives 268 m3/hr Assume a bulking factor for excavated sane = 15%, and assume 50 minutes work per hour to allow for blockages and maintenance etc... 268 x 85% x 50/60 = 190 so therefore capacity of conveyor = 190 m3 per hour = OK.
