Technical Specification

All work shall be in accordance with the IFC drawings and as per the specifications
approved by EIC.
The Contractor shall prepare shop drawings for fabricating any member and obtain
approval of the Engineer before the start of work. Complete information regarding the
location, type, size and extent of all welds shall be clearly shown on the shop
drawings. These drawings shall distinguish between shop and field welds.

15.3

Painting

labour and materials necessary.
Coatings shall be applied only to dry surfaces and the coated surfaces shall not be
exposed to rain or frost before they are dry. The coatings shall be applied to all
surfaces excluding shear connectors and inner surfaces of fully sealed hollow
sections. Care shall be taken during coating of adjacent surfaces to build up primer on
the shear connectors.

SHEET PILE

16.0

General
Construction of the steel sheet pile wall shall be performed in the following order. Contractor
shall prepare and submit his proposed construction time schedule for the works in the order
as listed below and obtain approval of COMPANY/PMC in writing prior to starting the work
General

16.1

Initial banking for driving of sheet piles

All initial banking has to be formed at contractor's own cost for taking the machinery to drive
the sheet piles. The area shall be filled with pit sand for leveling the ground.

16.2

Driving of steel sheet piles

16.3

Interlocking sheet piles are OZ 28A section with interlock of Arcelor Mittal or approved
equivalent as per manufacturers specification and minimum Section modulus of 2850 cm3/m
are to be driven for shore protection as per drawings.

16.4

Piles shall be driven, true to plumb and alignment. Hammer for sheet pile driving shall be
drop hammer, or vibratory hammer. In order to maintain alignment, temporary guide frames
shall be fixed in place and checked prior to actual driving Sheet pile driving shall commence
initially with minimum impact of hammer, which can be increased later after ensuring that the
piles are being driven vertically through the interlocking grooves along with designed
alignment. The sheet piles are to be driven with batten welded at suitable intervals. The Steel
Sheet Pile may be lifted by suspending from single point.
