Delivery

4-6nos at one time

With police escourt

Comet trailer
1. Preparation
Bed must be perfectly flat. Adjust by filler plate.
(To make straight marking line on side of KP)

2. Delivery
2 men for road, 2men for pedestrian when sending out
trailer

OK No good

3. Lay KP on the bed

・Major axis to be vertical
・Put filler plate into gap
(some KP has different section of its upper & lower
portion)
・KP must be put horizontally
・Cantilever should be less than 3m
4. Hoisting KP
・Only for shifting KP, use red color lifting lug

・Must use proper equipment for hoisting even if it’s

stopper pin

・25mm thk steel plate must be spread all over the

working area of crane without gap

・Once stop hoisting at 50mm height to check the

ground under the crane
5. Visual check
- Welding portion
-- Under cut, blow hole, overlap, slag, discontinuity
- Dimension of KP
-- Length, section
- Number of shear stud

6. Joint dolly
・Provide center marking on top and side of KP
・Adjust dolly center to KP center with jack support
※Do not tighten bolt

・Calculation of corbel bracket level:

A = GL-104.95+1.30+0.10 (m)

 ③ 7. Order of tightening bolts
①
After adjustment of center line to KP,
②
insert bolt following order shown in
the left figure.

Tightening should be from inside

towards outside.

2 bolts indicated with △ must be
2 tightened to prevent backling of

8. Welding case of the little dipper
・Avoid short bead (Min. 40mm)
 1m
9. Frame setting
・Bore hole must be covered with steel mesh

・Guard rail must be fixed on frame

・Make ground flat and tighten before putting steel plate

・Steel plate must be parallel with grid line and 4 corner

of frame must be on doubled steel plate

10. Adjust level using water level

・Confirm the frame is stable
 11. Marking X-Y on frame
Cylinder jack
Marking

11. Marking X-Y on frame

Tremie pipe Y ・Put tape on frame and then mark on it to prevent
8 inch dia confuse with previous one

・Mark location of I-beam on frame

11. Marking X-Y on frame
・Put tape on frame and then mark on it to prevent
confuse with previous one

・Mark location of I-beam on frame

12. Installation of cylinder jack on 4 directions

・Fix extension piece on the cylinder jack if the stroke
(Max. 750mm) is not enough to push KP

・Must check if it works every time before its installation

13. Rebar cage installation

・No. of spacer
・φ1800: 8pcs ・φ2000: 9pcs ・φ2300: 10pcs

・The required length of hook to suspend cage must be

calculated in advance to installation
14. Erection of KP
・250t + 100t double crane lifting

15. Installation of little dipper

16. Set I beams to

prepare for zero reading
 17. Set KP vertical
・Check marking on KP from X and Y axis by theodolite

・Set little dipper zero

・Record value of scale on top of dolly

Theodolite
reading
Put tape
and mark

18. Release I beams and sink KP down to designated level

Jack ※To consider the way to sink KP down without
releasing I beams

19. Set I beams again and adjust level by 2 jacks under the
corbel bracket
20. Adjust location and verticality
・Reading laser point on scale on dolly referring
recorded value
tolerance is ±0mm

・Reading value of little dipper referring recorded value

tolerance is ±0.115°(1/500) (50mm/25m)
21. Insert 8 inches tremie pipes
・Desanding

22. Cast concrete

・Suspend tremie pipes with jig shown in the left figure
and shake 2 pipes at the same time.
23. Curing
・Duration of curing is 12 hours
※Don’t release I beams and jacks while curing

24. Remove I beams and jacks then fix L frame

25. Pump out bentonite

26. Backfill with sand

・Backfill around KP equally to avoid loading horizontal
force to KP

27. Put flag beside KP

 28. KP infill concreting
