                       3   9   1  Excavation and foundation treatment shall meet the following
                       requirements:
                           1   Surface powerhouse excavation should be arranged together
                       with tailwater excavation. The excavation and foundation treatment
                       shall meet the requirements in Sections 2   3 and 2   5 of this specifica⁃
                       tion.
                           2  Underground powerhouse excavation shall meet the following
                       requirements:
                             1) Construction drifts shall be reasonably arranged, and per⁃
                                manent tunnels shall be utilized as much as possible as
                                drifts.
                             2) A pilot tunnel shall be excavated first, and its position can
                                be decided according to the adopted construction method.
                             3) Generally, the following methods can be adopted in con⁃

                                method of building the arch before the walls can be adopt⁃
                                ed; for surrounding rock of Types Ⅲ-Ⅳ, the method of
                                building walls before the arch can be adopted; if the meth⁃
                                od of building the arch before the walls is adopted, the
                                rock at the arch foot shall be protected and reinforced; for
                                surrounding rock of Types Ⅳ-Ⅴ, the ribbed wall method
                                or ribbed arch method should be adopted, and the sur⁃
                                rounding rock shall be reinforced first when necessary. For
                                the intermediate rocks, the method of stratified excavation
                                or whole section excavation can be adopted.
