PART I : Introduction.

The Ministry of Public Works and Transport has receive a budget from the Royal
Government of Cambodia to improve the condition of infrastructure within the
Kingdom of Cambodia. The work will be carried out under the supervision of
Road Rehabilitation and Bridge Reconstruction (RRBR) project, administratively
located and supervised by Road Infrastructure Department, General Directorate
of Public Works, Ministry of Public Works and Transport. (refer to as MPWT).

The project name is Reconstruction of a Concrete Bridge on PR 318, located

in Prey Veng Province, Kampong Seong commune and started last 15 th of
January, 2009 and to be completed on 15 th September, 2010. The bridge had a
length of 97.15 meters center to abutments. The width of the concrete bridge
from outer face is exactly 11.00 meters.

The bridge is composed of two abutments, and four column piers. Abutment A1 is
supported by 21 numbers of 400 X 400 mm X 12 m. RC piles. Abutment A2 is
supported by 21 numbers of 400 X 400 mm X 18 m. RC piles. Pier 1 is supported
by a 30 pcs. 400 X 400 mm X 18m RC piles as well as Pier 4. Pier 2 and 3 are
both supported by 600 mm diameter bore piles at 21 number each.
PART II : Work Statement

STEP 1: Backfilling

Backfill with soil the projected bore pile driving location on shore of river. Using
10 m³ dump trucks and an stand by bulldozer to push soil in an inward method in
order to push out mud and unsuitable materials on the river bed.

Both area of Piers 2 and 3 will be backfilled keeping the center of the river 13
meters apart for water to flow and for river traffic.

STEP 2 : Shoring Works

Shoring works for the backfilled soil on both Piers 2 and 3 are compose of 50 mm
diameter steel pipes, chain link wires , sacks, and C channel sheet piles.
 Drive the 50 mm steel piles through the surveyed area at an interval of
1.00 meters apart.
 Lay horizontally the chain link fence on the inside part of the 50 mm steel
pipes. The pipes will serve as a column support for the chain link fence.
 Fill in with soil the sacks and must be riprap alternately along the chain
link fence, which this is serve as an retaining wall for the soil to be
backfilled.
 Drive the sheet piles on outer part, just outside the 50 mm steel pipes,
using a vibration hammer or an excavator whichever is more suitable.
 Make sure that all 50 mm steel pipes are weld connected and penetrated
at required depth to withstand load pressure from the soil backfill.

STEP 3 : Bore pile location survey

Locate all the exact coordinate using a total station machine by KC MKK Survey
Engineer. All datum collected will be approved by KC MKK Site Manager and
RRBR Supervisor prior to bore piling.

STEP 4 : Bore piling.

Using BENOTO machine, bore piling will be performed as follows.

 Locate the center of pile to be driven.

 Install steel plates around the bore pile location serving as platform for the
BENOTO machine.
 The inside diameter of the casing to be driven is 600 mm. and the outside
diameter is 620 mm. The outside diameter on the tread area is 710 mm.
 The length of each casing to be driven is 1,200 mm including 100 mm
tread connection.
 Each casing is driven by a steel weight at 750 kgs. to 1,000 kgs, depends
on the availability.
 After driving each casing, Hammer Glove is lowered down to the hole to
collect all soils deposits inside the steel pipe casing.
 Hammer Glove is supported by a triangular Benoto Machine and being
powered by a Compressor machine.
 After reaching the required depth of 25 meters at pile cap bottoms. Steel
reinforcement will be installed using a 40 ton crane.
 Reinforcement installed and pouring of concrete. Concrete is pour at a
slow rate and using a tremie pipe with 200 mm diameter.
 The bottom of tremie pipe must be always lower than the height of
concrete poured.
 Grade of concrete is at 45 Mpa.
 Concrete is mixed Sikament R4 and Antisol E to delay the settling of
concrete in order to pull out the casing smoothly.
 Casing bottom must be always lower than the concrete poured.
 While pulling of casing, the diameter of bore pile will become bigger due to
spaces create by casing and concrete will automatically fill all gaps
underground.
 Pulling out of casing is with the use of a 40 ton crane and the BENOTO
machine.
 The last 3 meter length under the bottom of pile cap are being kept and
not to be pulled out.
 There are two machine used simultaneously and completion of bore pile is
at 1.50 pieces per day.
