Singapore Power Company, SP transmission cable tunnel – SK Engineering and Construction EW2 Project / Dunearn and Holland shafts.


Dunearn Pre-Grout

Dunearn shaft were pre-grouted from the surface prior to excavation in order to reduce the permeability of the area between toe and bedrock. 22 surface bores were hammered to 70M and the area between 48 and 70M were grouted – intersection between slurry wall toe and bedrock. On completion permeability tests were done and it was determined that the grouting was done successfully. During excavation minimal inflows were observed and shaft excavation and TBM launce site preparation was undertaken without delays. This pre-grout design lead to the use in other shafts in the area – SK&EC's Tagor Shaft and Penta Ocean's Jurong shaft to mention a few...


Holland remedial grouting

  

Holland shaft were grouted from the interior of the shaft – some from drilling behind D-wall and some from drilling behind shotcrete wall. For the D-wall section backwall grouting was undertaken and behind shotcrete section, formation grouting was undertaken by drilling much deeper seeling the groundwater without the possibility of Hydro fracturing the shotcrete. All remedial work was undertaken using Sovereign NOH2O grout.

PUB Woodlands T2119A Sewer Diversion Works

Ley Choon Group Holdings Limited.

The weak formation between two adjacent shafts 3 meters apart, washed out and resulted in flooding of the shaft under development. Dewatering had to stop due to subsidence of the surface as buildings started to crack – both shafts then flooded as a result. Sovereign were given the order to remedy the situation. An in-shaft Hydrolance injection system, never witnessed in Singapore before, was introduced while a permeation grouting method on the 3 meter formation fillet between both shafts from surface were grouted concurrently. Within 3 shifts a 100% seal was created and the shaft was pumped dry and excavation resumed. NOH2O and cement slurry was used to seal the flow between the two shafts – NOH2O to reduce the permeability and Ordinary Portland Cement to add strength.
