tower cranes, crawler cranes or other tools which may also be em⁃
ployed for hoisting the upper precast elements.
6 For intake sluices on soft foundation, pouring sequences are
that a deeper base should be completed before that on a shallower
base, and pouring of heavy and large structures before that of light
and thin structures.
3 4 2 Excavation of open channels shall meet the following require⁃
ments:
1 Conditions of topography, geology and construction shall be
considered, and excavation should be carried out part by part and
segment by segment. The excavation process shall be correctly chosen.
2 Earthwork channel slopes shall be excavated carefully to
avoid the failure. Ballast shall not be stacked on the slope top. Slope
top drainage shall be unblocked to prevent water from flushing the
slopes. A rapid construction method shall be employed to achieve sim⁃
ultaneous excavation and lining.
3 Full⁃section should be excavated in one step for common
earthwork channels. For mechanized excavation of large channels, in⁃
termediate grooves should be excavated first, and then the left and
right slopes, and finally manual excavation to reach the bottom and
cut the slopes for channel formation.
4 For excavation of channels on soft foundations, which is
quicksand or a mud layer with low bearing capacity, drainage shall be
enhanced to keep the ground water level 0 5-1 0m below the excava⁃
tion surface. The methods of padding plates or stone ballast displace⁃
ment should employ in case of mechanized construction which the
large machinery may move on them. Backward excavation method
should be employed. Excavation and slope cutting should be carried
out simultaneously, and completed in one step.
5 Stonework channels shall be excavated by complying with the
