7.1. Placing of Jumbo Bags

Once the 1st phase of filling work is completed, the transportation of embankment material which is suitable for
preparation of jumbo bags shall be commenced. This imported material shall be stocked on newly formed ground
in close proximity to the outer boundary of filling area. A 12T excavator shall be used to fill the jumbo bags. While
the preparation of jumbo bags is in progress, a second 20 ton Excavator (Long reach) shall be deployed to place
the filled Jumbo bags in the lake along the boundary as shown in following figure. Care should be taken to keep
Excavator in safe distance from the edge of the fill and as a precaution marker tape will be placed the required

8. CONSTRUCTION OF TEMPORARY BRIDGE
Temporary
bridge
Construct the temporary platform is the second step of cofferdam construction. The platform shall be constructed
to approximately 1m above the highest water level generally expected during the major part of the year. The levels
would be established with reference to historical data obtained from relevant authorities, the residence of the area
& other sources available. Finally the top level of working platforms will be decided by considering both high flood
level and the safe and efficient movements of the heavy machinery (E.g.: Dump trucks, Concrete Truck mixers,
etc.)
Page: Page 11 of 42
The edges of the platforms shall be retained by Jumbo size soil filled bags, sand bags & rubble pitching as
appropriate. Further the exact method of retaining will be chosen taking into consideration the design
requirements, space requirement, expected weather conditions and the depth of water.
The surface of the platforms will be maintained in safe and clean conditions throughout the construction period.
For additional safety requirements traffic on the temporary platform shall be controlled by Access Engineering. In
this case only one vehicle allow to enter the temporary bridge at a time.
This temporary bridge constructed using H irons and MS Plates for allowing water flow.

Page: Page 12 of 42
 Jumbo bags are placed near the end of temporary platform by using long arm 20T excavator.
 Geotextile lays on the retaining wall of building side of the waterfront project.
 In this step soil will bring through temporary platform and dump on to the geotextile.
 Only one vehicle is allowed to travel through the temporary platform at a time for safety purpose.
 This procedure shall be continued until completion of the stage 2.
This activity shall commenced after construction of platforms which are necessary for execution of piling and other
activities. There would be two pilling platforms approximately commencing from both lake banks (Building 1 side
and Justice Akbar Mawatha end) and these will extend at least 2.5 m beyond the edge of the outermost component
in the structure concerned.
There is a narrow point in Beira Lake just above the bridge and it is around 12m in width. So a flow area equal to
that narrow point shall be provided through temporary constructed bridge using H irons and MS plates an shown
below.
