 1) Excavation and Supporting of Plunge Pool

2) Downstream Protection of Plunge Pool weir（7000-SHC110-ULN-&CTA010-001009）

Protection should be curried out on the downstream of the plunge pool weir from DL0+226.281
to DL0+266.281. In this area, rock-filled concrete is adopted under EL70.0m, the top elevation
of the riverbed concrete is EL64.0m, the maximum thickness is 5m. after cleaning the
overburden of the slope from EL64.0m to EL70.0m, rock-filled concrete with the thickness of
1m is adopted as the protection of the slope. From EL70.0m to EL85.0m, only overburden
cleaning is carried out on the slope. To ensure the smooth of the waterflow, the notch between
the weir and the riverbed on the downstream is backfilled with C15 concrete.

T5D road and the temporary road access to the plunge pool is adopted to construct the
protection on the right bank, while the construction of the left bank protection shall proceed
after the present temporary road access to the plunge pool is rerouted. The detailed
arrangement of the rerouted roads is seen in the attachment.

The earthwork excavated from the downstream of the weir is transported to the disposal yard
near the T5U road on the left bank.

The existing air/water/electrical supply system for dam construction will be applied.

The cleaning of the overburden on the downstream of the weir proceeds in 2 stages: Firstly, the
overburden on the riverbed and the right bank is cleaned while the temporary road access to
the plunge pool is reserved; Secondly after the completion of the right bank overburden

1/4
cleaning, the temporary road on the left bank is demolished, then the overburden on the left
bank is cleaned.

CAT360 backhoe is adopted to clean the overburden and 20t dump trunk is adopted to
transport the disposal.

After the excavation, rocks with diameter between 40cm and 150cm and pre-casted concrete
blocks are transported to site with 20t dump trunks, then backfilled with backhoes. The space
between the rocks is then fully filled with C15 concrete. The rock-filled concrete is constructed
layer by layer and block by block, Weir downstream protection is divided into four parts for
construction, of which the riverbed part is Zone I, the right bank part is Zone II, the road
occupation part at left bank is Zone III, and the road occupation part into plunge pool is Zone IV,
please find the enclosed picture (Fig.1) for details.

Zone I is located in the middle of the riverbed. Firstly, adopting backhoe to excavate to the
riverbed rock section, then pouring C15 underwater concrete for the underwater part, and the
above-water part will be divided into two layers with rock-filled concrete pouring to EL64.0, and
then backfill grouting for the poured concrete. The distance between the backfill grouting holes
is 4m*4m, 6m deep(Change of river bed elevation according to excavation) ,grouting pressure is
0.2-0.3Mpa, and water-cement ratio is 0.7:1~0.5:1.

Zone II is located in right bank, and its main works are the backfilling between the weir and the
excavated rock slope and the protection of the right bank slope. In accordance with the design
drawings, this zone will be backfilled with C15 concrete, which layered thickness is 6m.

Zone III is located in the left bank. Firstly, excavated from top to bottom with backhoe, after
excavating to the riverbed rock section, then pouring C15 underwater concrete for the
underwater part, and the above-water part is planned to be poured with rock-filled concrete
layer by layer, which the thickness of each layer not exceeding 2m. Wherein, C15 concrete will
be used for backfilling between the weir and the left bank rock slope, with the backfill concrete
thickness of layers shall be 6m.

2/4
Zone IV is the part of the road into the plunge pool, and it is planned to divide into two parts,
upstream part and downstream part, for construction. After the construction of concrete in
Zone I is completed, the road into the plunge pool will be rerouted to Zone I, the downstream
part of Zone IV will be excavated to the rock surface. Then, pouring C15 underwater concrete
for the underwater part, and the above-water part is planned to be poured with rock-filled
concrete layer by layer, with the thickness of layers not exceeding 2m. After the construction of
the plunge pool is completed, the upstream part of Zone IV will be excavated and poured with
rock-filled concrete layer by layer, with the thickness of layers not exceeding 2m. There are big
boulders in this area, but this big boulders do not need to be excavated by blasting, and could
be poured in the concrete.

The construction sequence of the plunge pool weir protection is as follows,

Zones I and II will be constructed first, followed by Zones III and IV downstream, and finally is
the upstream of Zone IV.

The concrete is transported to site with 8m3 concrete mix trunks, and poured by a mobile
concrete pump.

The notch between the weir and the riverbed on the downstream is backfilled with C15
concrete, the layers and blocks of this zone are decided according to the situation on site. The
concrete is transported to site with 8m3 concrete mix trunks, and poured by a mobile concrete
pump.

The schedule of the construction of the weir downstream protection is as follows and Gantt Chart
