De - shuttering:
The inner and outer form panels are removed after 12 hours of the
concrete finished time.

Steining Sinking:
Following the de shuttering of steining lift, gauge marking is carried
out at both axes in line with well curb marking and reference height is
marked on the wall surface. The sinking operation would be started
after 16 hrs of concreting for steining.
Sinking of wells shall be carried out by dredge hole method by using
the following steps:
Sinking operation:

The sinking operation involves lowering of the well by dredging in

the dredge hole.
Plate grab shall be used in case of soft strata like sandy silt, soft
clay, dense sand, etc.
In case of hard clay, stiff clay strata heavy-duty chisel shall be
used, followed by dredging using Tyne grab.
Levels and alignment of well shall be checked regularly interval of
1hr of sinking to observe the tilt and shift of the well at closer
intervals if the visual observation demands.
Sinking operation shall be preferably carry out round the clock
under skilled supervision.
Dredged materials shall be disposed off to locations designated by
the Engineer.
The above cycle of well steining and sinking shall be repeated up
to the last lift of the well until well reaches to the founding level.

Precautions during sinking:

When the wells have sunk close to each other and clear distance
between them is not greater than the diameter of wells, sinking
shall be taken up on all wells and they shall be sunk alternately.

Before seasonal floods all wells on which sinking is in progress

shall be to sufficient depths below the designed scour level.

Very deep sump shall not be made below the well curb. The depth
of sump shall not exceed 3.0m below the level of cutting edge
unless otherwise specifically permitted by Engineer.

Dewatering is avoided if sand blows are expected.

Tilts and Shifts:

The wells shall be sunk into earth with in permissible limit of tilt and
shift:The dredging operation shall be carried out uniformly over the dredge
hole area. When the minor tilt and shift occurs the same shall be
corrected by controlled grabbing or partial dredging in the direction
opposite to tilt.
In case of tilt/shift is excessive, following method shall be adopted for
correcting the same.
1. Eccentric Kentledge Loading.
2. Providing Temporary obstacles beneath the cutting edge.
3. Pull the well by winches.
Procedure for monitoring Tilts and shifts:
Tilts and shifts is monitored by:

Checking the levels at fixed gauge mark on both of the opposite

faces along axes of well. Levels are checked from the reference
pillars along the axes established in advance for this purpose. The
difference in level will establish the tilt along the axis. It is
designated as ratio of difference in level to dia of well. Such
checking and recording of tilts and shifts are done at regular
intervals depending upon the rate of sinking but at least once a
day, provided there has been sinking of the well.
The tilt of any well shall not be exceed 1 (horizontal) in 80
(vertical), and the shift at the well base shall not be more than

6.6

150mm in any resultant direction. Measurement for tilt shall be

taken every day are recorded.
Sinking history of well shall be maintained in the format given in
Appendix 1200/I, MORT&H
