Method Statement For General Pre-Casting Works at Pre-Casting YardPart-1

The document provides a method statement for general pre-casting works at a pre-casting yard for the HCMC Metro Project in Vietnam. It outlines the scope, which involves casting reinforced concrete precast segments using short and long line casting methods. The precast segments will be used to construct the elevated viaduct structures. The method statement also defines key terms related to precasting the segments and identifies the specific moulds that will be used.

Method Statement for General Pre-casting

Works at Pre-casting Yard


1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT

The purpose of this procedure is to outline General Arrangements, Construction


Methodologies and other works all in accordance with the contract specification and details
shown on the drawing, related to the pre-casting of segments composing the viaduct
superstructure works of the HCMC Metro Project.

Where it is identified that there is a need to change the method of work due to unforeseen
circumstances, then revision, authorisation and issue will follow the same procedure as the
original.
1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Ho Chi Minh City Urban Railway Construction Project – Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien section
(Line 1), contract Package 2 consists of approximately 12 km long of elevated viaduct
structures, erected by span-by-span Method.
All activities related to the construction of reinforced concrete precast segments will be
carried out in the precast yard, located in Road 11, Long Binh Ward, District 9 (HCMC),
covering approximately 40,000 square metres of area, including:

 Rebar storage & rebar jigs area (rebar cage fabrication area)
 Segment casting area (moulds)
 Stores & workshop area
 Segment storage area
 Site offices & basic facilities for staffs
1.3 SCOPE OF WORK

This procedure is developed for application in the scope of works and applies to the casting
Operations of the Precast segments composing the viaduct superstructure works of the
HCMC Metro Project.
1.4 REFERENCES

This procedure is All reference documents are intended to refer to the last issued revision.
1.5 DEFINITIONS

 Method Statement

A work instruction detailing technical/engineering methodology for a particular activity


including the Hazard Analysis & Risk Assessment.

 HRA (Hazard & Risk Assessment)

Identify all hazard & risk per activity, and reduce the probably of each risk by using different
kind of solutions, such as: training for workers to prevent and inform them, inspection,
check-list etc…

 ITP (Inspection & Test Plan)

The purpose of this procedure is to clearly identify all inspection, check-list and test which
have to be done in order to respect with Quality & Safety requirements.

 Precasting yard (PCY)

Area used to manufacture and temporary store all precast segments.

 U-Section

Precast concrete section typically, U-shaped, consisting of a bottom slab, two side webs and
lateral top flanges. It concerns all segment used for this project.

 Typical segment

The segments used in the central parts of the spans and between the pier segments. They are
characterized by an almost constant shape.
 Pier segment

It defines the first and the last segment of the span, and which are positioned on a pier by
means of bearings.

 Fresh cast segment (F/C)

The segment being cast in the formwork (also called mould). One face is formed using a
fixed bulkhead; the other face is formed using either a Stop-End or the match-cast (M/C)
segment face.

 Match-cast segment (M/C)

Match-casting means the segment is cast in the formwork between either a Stop-End or a
fixed bulkhead formwork at one end, and a previously fresh cast segment (F/C) at the other
end. Match-casting is accomplished by either the Short Line or Long Line casting method.

 Short line casting method

Casting segments one at a time in the mould between a fixed bulkhead at one end and a
previously fresh cast segment at the other. The first segment is cast between a fixed bulkhead
and a movable bulkhead, called Stop-End.

 Short Line Typical mould (SLT)

Mould which is used to cast typical segment of curved and straight spans, by using the Short
line casting method. For this project, 3 Short Line Typical moulds (SLT#1, SLT#2 & SLT#3)
are provided.

 Short Line Pier mould (SLP)

Mould which is used to cast pier segment of straight and curved spans, by using the Short line
casting method. For this project, 4 Short Line Pier moulds (SLP#1, SLP#2, SLP#3 & SLP#4)
are provided.

 Long line casting method

Casting segments on a mould of sufficient length to permit the cumulative casting of


segments for the entire length of a span. With this method, the first segment is cast between
two Stop-End and successive segments are cast between a Stop-End on one end and the
previously fresh-cast segment on the other.

 Long Line Typical mould (LLT)

Mould which is used to cast typical segments of straight spans, by using the Long line casting
method. For this project, 3 Long Line Typical moulds (LLT#1, LLT#2 & LLT#3) are
provided.
