    Basement construction is increasingly using a "double bit" arrangement where two levels are excavated and the lower slab is formed before filling the intermediate level later. Safety measures are highly valued in basement jobs to protect workers and the public, with accident rates remaining very low. The progress of basement construction can be difficult to predict accurately due to numerous unforeseen problems during the process.

    Constructing the basement in double bit arrangement is


    becoming common.

    Protection and safety measures in particular to the life and


    property of third parties are highly concerned in basement jobs.
    Accident in this area is maintained at a relatively very low rate.

    Progress of work can hardly be predicted or monitored


    accurately due to the existence of numerous unforeseeable
    problems during the construction process
    Special arrangement for the
    removal of spoil to facilitate
    basement excavation
    Basement construction using Double
    Bit arrangement i.e. excavate two
    levels of basement, form the lower
    slab and fill in the intermediate level at
    a later stage
    Construction of Deep Basement and
    Large-sized Underground Structures
    Examples of underground structures include:
    Basement of buildings
    Semi-basement with slope stabilization purpose
    Transport facilities such as railway station, tunnel
    and pedestrian subway
    Access or services shaft
    Construction of Deep Basement and
    Large-sized Underground Structures
    Involvement/provision when constructing these
    structures
    Ground stabilization provisions
    Cut-off walling provisions
    Lateral soil support provisions
    Excavation arrangement
    Dewatering arrangement
    Spoil removal arrangement
    Basement construction arrangement
