Precast Manhole Installation

METHOD STATEMENT FOR PRECAST MANHOLE INSTALLATION WORKS
PROJECT: SUPPLY AND LAY THE PROPOSED BY PASS TREATED EFFLUENT LINE
Contract No.: BOI/BEPZ/ES/2022/07/03.031
REF: MS/BIYAGAMA/MH INSTALLATION
1.0 Scope
The method statement for precast manhole installation is to explain the systematic procedures,
arrangements and safety measures, which ought to be followed during installation of precast manhole.
Contractor shall be accountable to comply with all work and safety stipulations/measures as stated in this
method statement.
2.0 Surveying
The coordinates and elevations of the survey monuments shall be given to the Contractor by the Client.
The Contractor shall verify the survey reference points. The Contractor shall furnish these reference points
on the Site and using these reference points, shall perform all surveying and staking required to complete
the Work. Existing Survey Monuments in the Work area shall be preserved and protected from damage or
disturbance and shall not be removed unless necessary.
2.1 Special setting outs for MH01 and MH03

Since there is existing Hume pipe line and DI line along the setting out area, setting out will be carried out
in order to avoid any interaction between existing line and the manhole. After finishing the sewer system
existing line will be diverted in to Manhole 01 and Manhole 03 as shown in Figure 01 and Figure 02.

3.0 Clearing and Grubbing

Areas to be excavated, filled, or graded shall be cleared and grubbed (cleaning the grass and roots).
Clearing and grubbing shall consist of the removal and disposal of trees, stumps, brush, roots, vegetation,
logs, rubbish, and other objectionable materials. Stumps, roots, and other similar refuse shall be removed
to a depth of not less than 150mm below the existing ground surface and to a distance of at least 600mm
beyond the excavation limits. Holes remaining after removal of stumps, roots, and other similar refuse
shall be backfilled with suitable material and compacted to at least the density of the adjacent undisturbed
material. Material cleared from the site shall be either burned or removed from the site. Disposal or
burying of cleared materials shall comply with local laws, codes, regulations.
4.0 Excavations
4.1 General
Excavation shall be done after clearing and grubbing has been completed. Excavations shall preferably be
performed in dry conditions. Proper drainage for excavated areas shall be maintained to prevent ponding
of water. Excavated areas shall be kept dry by pumping or other suitable methods. Prior to completion of
drainage facilities, sufficient temporary ditches and culverts to prevent ponding shall be installed.
4.2 Excavations for Manholes MH04-MH09
All the general excavation methodology will be applied and the excavation pit size will be 4050mm x
4050mm in order to facilitate working space for manhole placing and in situ concrete jacket work for
manholes.

If necessary, dewatering will be done and for the pond side shoring will be arranged if any concerns arise
after the inspection. Necessary slope preparation work will be done in order to prevent the collapse of
banks at the other side.
4.3 Excavations for Manholes MH01 and MH03
All the general excavation methodology will be applied and the excavation will be done according to below
figure 04.

900mm Hume pipe also done in parallel with the excavation of the manhole 02. Coffer Dam will be
constructed and the existing drainage line will be diverted as in Figure 06.

5.0 Manhole installation
5.1 Bedding
After excavation complete base of the excavation pit compacted in order to lay the chip bedding. After
that 100mm thick 5-10mm chip bedding lay on the compacted soil layer and compacted to 50mm.
Another layer also laid and follow the same procedure.
5.2 Placing of Precast Manhole
Figure 09: Lifting of Manhole Bottom Part
After the bedding compaction completed, level measurements were taken to ensure the proper levels was
maintained. After that bottom part of the manhole was places as in Figure 09 by using boom truck. After
placing bottom part again necessary level measurements were taken and then form work for concrete
benching was fixed and C35A Sulphate resistant concrete was used to pour the concrete benching. After
that 20mm thick sulphate resistant cement concrete topping will be applied on top of the concrete
benching. After that inlet and outlet Hume pipes were connected to the bottom part of the manhole. Then
intermediate parts and top covers were placed and cement sand mortar was used to seal the connecting
groove.
5.3 Concrete cover around precast Manholes
After placing manhole up to top cover, circular form work was made around the manhole as in figure 10
and 11.

Maximum formwork height will be 1200mm and concrete bonding agent will be used for the concrete
connection for the manholes which are taller than 1200mm.
5.4 Brick work and Manhole cover
After finishing concrete cover around the manhole, brick covering will be build using engineering bricks
and 1:3 CT: SAND Mortar and height of the brick covering will be decided according to the manhole top
finish level and road formation level. Finally, 600mm dia Manhole and cover frame will be installed and
cover the frame using 1:3 Cement sand Mortar.
