2.5. Work Methodology

2.5.1. Replacement of Retaining Wall

The damaged portion of the retaining wall will be replace with new retaining wall as per
approved design and drawing of RC.

2.5.2 Dewatering System

As the bottom of foundation of the retaining wall is probably lower than water table
level, therefore dewatering system is required and considered as an important part of
the entire execution. To draw out water a sump pit will be made below the working
level. The water contained in the sump pit can be pumped out by means operation of
the Submersible Pumps at the bottom of pit. The outlet of the pump will towards on a
settlement basin within the vicinity where location will be prior planning.

2.5.3. Concrete Breaking

 The replacement part or end portion of the retaining will be broken by means of
mechanical equipment. The debris will be stacked in an area where there is no
hindrance to the traffic flow, area of work or work progress and then will properly be
removed immediately once breaking activity will be finished.
 The removal of the debris will be done using a Loader and Dumpers.
