    The document outlines the caisson sinking method for constructing chlorination, sludge holding, and clarifier tanks using excavators. Key steps include: 1. Excavating to a working platform and constructing the first wall leaf. 2. Allowing the first leaf to cure before sinking by excavating soil inside to reduce friction and allow even settling. 3. Constructing additional wall leaves as the structure sinks and installing water stops. 4. Repeating the excavation and sinking process until the tank reaches the design invert level.

    Method of Statement: Construction of Chlorination Tank, Sludge Holding

    Tank and Clarifier Tank using Caisson (sinking) Method


    Introduction
    The changes are due to work space constraint at site.

    Machinery / Equipment
    1. Long arm excavator.
    2. Piling machine.
    3. Lorry.

    Construction and sinking of wall section


    a) Construction of chlorination, sludge holding and clarifier shall by caisson
    sinking method.

    b) Open excavation shall be carried out until 2 m below ground level to


    create working platform. Open cut will be with 2 tiers to reduce the earth
    pressure toward the construction area.

    c) First leaf of wall (2.4m high) will be constructed on new platform level.
    Starter bar shall be extended from the top of the wall.

    d) First leaf wall shall be left for 7 days to achieve adequate concrete
    strength after the concreting work before the wall being sunken.

    e) Sinking of first leaf of wall shall by excavator (long arm type). Soil inside
    shall be excavated out. While the internal soil is being excavated, the wall
    sections weight and lessen friction would enhance the sinking.

    f) Excavation shall be carried out evenly on both end to allow even


    settlement. If required two excavator shall be employed to excavate
    simultaneously.
    g) TBM shall be marked on top slab of existing pump station. Monitoring
    points will be marked on the wall section for continuous level monitor
    using survey equipment. This is to ensure even sinking on all corners.

    h) When the top of first leaf wall reaches the working platform, second leaf
    wall will be constructed. Water stop will be installed in between of wall.

    i) The remaining leaf of wall shall be construct. Then, the excavation and
    sinking process shall be repeated till tank structure reach the design invert
    level.
    j) Wing slab shall be constructed surrounding the wall section to ensure the
    wall will not be sunk further during the piling work.

    Construction of Base Slab


    a) Base slab construction shall commence once the wall section reaches the
    desired Invert Level.

    b) Meanwhile other related internal structure will be carried out for the
    completion of the whole tank structure.
    c) RC piling will be used as a foundation of the tank.
    d) Actual base slab for tank will be constructed after piling work.

    Dewatering during construction


    e) One unit of submersible pump shall be stationed on site for dewatering
    during construction.
    Maintenance of Slope and Soil Disposal
    f) Excavated material shall be carted away at least about 50 100 m from
    working area.

    g) Gentle slope shall be formed to reduce soil slide during construction.

    h) Work sequence and construction method shall be amended to suit site


    conditions.
