I. Objective:
This methodology shall set a generic procedure for excavation works and
shall help the constructor plan, execute and assess the best excavation
scheme for the actual site.
D. Cohesion - soil property that binds the soil particles together with
each other and prevents them from breaking apart
The materials, tools and equipment shall include but are not limited to the
following:
K. Safety access and egress - shall be of capacity and quality that will
permit all personnel to safely access all areas on site
IV. Responsibility:
V. Procedure:
2. Survey and stake out the boundaries as per coordinates and approved
construction drawings.
3. Additional geotechnical investigation may be required to verify bore
hole test results used during the design stage. Actual bore hole test
results will also help the constructor to assess the best excavation,
slope protection and construction method to be used.
5. Soil properties that may affect stability of excavation works include but
are not limited to cohesion, angle of internal friction or angle of
repose, and shear strength of soil.
In the event that actual site conditions will not permit such excavation
methodology, necessary measures to ensure soil stability shall be
done and may include soil-nailing, rock-anchoring, shot-creting,
sheet-piling, bracing and other slope protection methods. It is the
discretion of the constructor as to what methodology best suits the actual
excavation to be done.
