Malolos Clark Railway Project CP N02 - P550-06

Sto. Tomas, Pampanga, Philippines, 3/23/2022
The enclosed report contains the data and analysis summary for the SoniCaliper
shaft caliper, performed at Malolos Clark Railway Project CP N02 (P550-06), Sto.
Tomas, Pampanga, Philippines on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 by Michael Brian.
The shaft was calipered from a reference depth of 4.0 meters to a depth of 56.0
meters. The shaft excavation was supported by a temporary, 15 meters deep, 1530
mm I.D., 20 mm thick steel casing. The thickness of the casing itself, if temporary,
was added to the total volume calculation.
The minimum concrete volume is calculated to be 101.5 m³, based on the area of
the calipered cross-sections and a Top of Concrete depth of 1.0 meters. (Note that
this includes theoretical volume based on a nominal shaft cross-sectional area
between depths of 56.0 meters and 56.6 meters, which was not calipered.)
Note that significant wall encroachment (greater than 15 mm) was calculated at the
depths listed below:

INTERPRETATION OF SONICALIPER FIELD DATA REPORT
General: The SONICaliper is a profiling sonar device, specially adapted to function in drilling
fluids. Each 360° pass generated with the SONICaliper device produces up to one hundred
twenty individual echo returns (profile data points). In the preceding figures (profile ring plots),
the diamond points represent individual profile data points. A geometric shape is fitted to the
data points using the non-linear least-squares technique (see Gander et al) to approximate the
cross-sectional profile of the shaft for verticality, perimeter area and volume calculations.
Hollow diamonds designate rejected points which are not used in the data fitting.
Deployment: The device is lowered into the shaft excavation in incremental depths. At each
depth, a 360° sweep of the shaft wall is performed. The device is assumed to hang vertically in
the shaft (any deviation from verticality can be noted using onboard pitch and roll sensors). Any
twist in the device relative to its initial orientation is compensated by onboard compass and/or
gyroscope sensors.
Calibration: Because the properties of drilling fluids vary widely, a calibration must be
performed for each shaft to determine fluid wavespeed. This is done by selecting a profile ring
of known diameter (drilled shaft) or length & width (panel / barrette) as the “calibration ring”.
The data analysis then back-calculates the fluid wavespeed based on the known dimensions of
this ring. The fluid wavespeed is assumed to be constant over the entire column of fluid depth.
Shaft Verticality: To determine shaft verticality, a

profile ring (usually, but not always the calibration
ring) is selected as the “datum ring”. The
geometric centers of the datum ring and all other
profile rings are compared. The “center offset”
