Combination of Supervision Resources

To facilitate the deployment of TCPs under different resources situations, a higher grade TCP may take up the duties of a lower grade TCP in his stream provided that the requirements for relevant qualifications and experience of the lower grade are satisfied.

Combination of supervision resources is only permitted for those types of works that are to be carried out concurrently on site.

In order to combine the resources required for one or more types of building works, or to combine the duties of TCPs, the application of scale factors as specified in paragraphs 8.4 to 8.11 should be followed and Form C at Appendix IV should be used for the calculations. Form C should be appended to the supervision plan submitted to the BA.

In using Form C to calculate the combination of TCPs, the following steps should be followed :
List those types of building works or street works for which supervision resources are to be combined.
Group the types of works into concurrent and non-concurrent works (Column 1). Only TCPs under concurrent works may be combined.
Obtain the Notional Supervision Input (Column 5) corresponding to the Frequency Level of Site Inspection from Table 8.2.
The Adjusted Supervision Input (Column 6) is the product of the Scale Factor (Column 2) and the Notional Supervision Input (Column 5).
List the grades of TCP that are to be combined in Column 7.

List the grades of TCP with combined duties in Column 8.
Sum up the Supervision Input required for those TCPs who are to be combined as the supervision input required for the TCP with combined duties (Column 9).
Derive the number of TCP with combined duties (Column 10) and Frequency Level of Site Inspection required after the combination of TCPs (Column 11) using Tables 8.2 and 8.3. The derived frequency level of site inspection should not be less than the minimum inspection frequency as set down in Table 1 of the TM.

The AP, RSE and RGE, after calculating the supervision input in accordance with paragraph 8.15, may further combine TCPs of the three streams in accordance with the same principles.

If the different types of works are not to be grouped and that the duties of TCPs are not to be combined, the adjusted supervision input for different types of works with a scale factor of more than one should also be calculated in Form C by using columns 1 to 6 and 11.

1 Supervision Requirements

Determining the required TCPs and their frequency level of site inspections

The grades of TCP and their minimum frequency level of site inspections required for each functional stream for various types of building works or street works are set out in Table 1 of the Technical Memorandum. More frequent supervision requirements during critical stages are specified in paragraph 9 of this Code.

For building works with significant geotechnical content, the RSE would only be required to provide a team of site supervisors where there was structural works.

For foundation works in Scheduled Areas Nos. 1, 2 and 4 and in Designated Area of Northshore Lantau, additional supervision from the RGE’s stream is required on top of the supervision requirements for foundation works given in Table 1 of the Technical Memorandum. Note 5 to Table 1 of the Technical Memorandum refers.

Scale of the Works

The effect of the scale of the works should be considered in determination of supervision requirements. It shall be assessed by a scale factor of the works.

A measurable item and a basic value of which are assigned for each type of building works or street works. The scale factor of a type of works is the ratio of the estimated value of the measurable item of the works to the basic value. The scale factor is capped at 2.

The measurable items and their basic values to be used for the assessment of the scale factor of various types of building works or street works are set out in Table 8.1. Unless otherwise specified, the measurable items represent the total cost, average cost per month, or quantity of the respective type of building works or street works to be carried out. The BA may review and amend the measurable items and their basic values from time to time.

stabilization works on rock slopes

fill slopes (compaction and installation of such surface filter/drainage layers) greater than 5 m high, or less than 5 m high which pose a direct risk to life, i.e. Consequence-to-life Category 1 or 2 in PNAP APP-109 (previously PNAP 234)
reinforced fill slopes
- excavation and lateral support, and temporary retaining structures
depth > 4.5 m (depth > 7.5 m in sensitive sites* – see para 7.3)
- permanent retaining structures
diaphragm walls and bored-pile walls
reinforced fill structures
cantilever / gravity retaining walls (height > 5 m) and screen/basement walls (height > 7.5m)

tunnel boring machine, micro-tunnelling (including directional drilling) and pipe jacking methods
associated ground support, ground treatment and groundwater control works

The list above is not intended to be exhaustive as it only contains the common types of geotechnical works encountered.

In normal circumstances, a TCP T3 and a TCP T5 are required to be provided by the RGE to supervise building works with significant geotechnical content. However, a Directorate Site Supervisor (DSS) may be required for geotechnically difficult or sensitive sites marked * in the above list or any other sites as considered appropriate by GEO and BD.

Sensitive sites are sites where the works could pose adverse impact to life and/or property. These include sites where works could affect old buildings with shallow foundations, old tunnels/caverns, major roads, railways, water mains, gas mains, slopes, retaining walls or sites with history of instability.

The requirements for the provision of a DSS, if considered necessary by GEO and BD, will be conveyed to the AP/RSE/RGE in the approval and consent letters. The name of the DSS should also be given in the supervision plan.

A DSS should be a Registered Professional Engineer in geotechnical discipline who holds the position of a partner/director in the firm which prepared the geotechnical content of the submission. The RGE who is responsible for the project can also be accepted as the DSS.

The plan should be submitted prior to or at the same time as consent application for the foundation works. However, no prior approval of the TCPs is required before commencement of the foundation works. The AP/RSE/RSC are responsible to ensure that their TCPs satisfy the qualification and experience requirements specified and should notify the BA of any subsequent changes of TCPs. The plan should be kept on site for the inspection of the BA when required.

The RSE should provide supervision as necessary during all stages in Table 6.3.

The AS of the RSC should provide supervision as necessary during all stages in Table 6.3.

Pre-drilling, interface core-drilling, post-installation drilling and proof test core-drilling for foundation works must be carried out by a Registered Specialist Contractor in the Ground Investigation Field Works category and be supervised by the site supervisors responsible for the quality supervision of foundation works. There is no need to submit a separate supervision plan for the pre-drilling and post-installation drilling works.

CODE OF PRACTICE FOR SITE SUPERVISION – Quality Supervision for Soil Nailing Works

Quality Supervision for Soil Nailing Works

Quality supervision of soil nailing works should be provided by the RGE and his TCP T5 and T3, as well as by the AS of the RSC (Site Formation) and his TCP T4 and T1.

For all soil nailing works, at least one TCP T3 of the RGE and one TCP T1 of the RSC are required to be resident full-time on site during every stage of the works for each soil nail. The RSC is required to notify the RGE’s TCP T3 before the commencement of any stage of the works. The RSC is also required to prepare detailed inspection, measurement and testing records for each soil nail as per the approved plan requirements.

Table 6.2 Stages of Soil Nailing Works
Item No.	Stage	Description
N1	Pull-out test and any specified site trial	Check whether the test nails are being constructed and the test/site trial procedure is in accordance with the approved plans or as specified by the RGE, and the acceptance criteria for the test/site trial are met.
N2	Setting out of soil nails	Check whether the positions of the soil nails agree with the approved plans.
N3	Drilling of soil nail holes	Check whether the drillhole diameter, length, inclination and bearing are in accordance with the approved plans and any anomalies on ground and groundwater conditions and to report to the responsible person if necessary.

Table 6.2 Cont’d

N4	Assembly of soil nail reinforcement	Check whether the assembly is in accordance with the approved plans, in particular, the length, type and corrosion protection provisions of the reinforcement, adequacy and tightness of any couplers used, adequacy of centralizers to ensure minimum grout cover and the grout pipes are not twisted and free from blockage and are extended to the bottom of the soil nail holes in accordance with the approved plans.
N5	Insertion of soil nail reinforcement	Check whether: cleaning of the hole, e.g. by air flushing is needed to remove any blockage or collapse, or there is any groundwater, which may require a change in construction method, andthe assembly is sufficiently rigid and the correct assembly of soil nail reinforcement is inserted.
N6	Grout and preparation of grout	Check whether the grout used, grout mix, preparation of grout and grout test results meet the requirements of the approved plans.
N7	Grouting of soil nail hole	Check whether: grouting of soil nails is carried out on the same day as insertion of the soil nail reinforcement assembly,grout is injected into the drillhole through the grout pipe with sustained grout return of satisfactory cleanliness and viscosity from the top of the drillhole,grouting operation is carried out according to the approved plans, andexcessive grouting time or excessive grout volume consumed in any drillhole to maintain sustained grout return of satisfactory cleanliness and viscosity, or other anomalies such as excessive ‘settlement’ of grout (as measured along the length of the nail) on cessation of grouting, are reported to the responsible person and recorded.
N8	Construction of soil nail heads and structural supports between nail heads	Check whether the soil nail heads and structural supports are constructed in accordance with approved plans, including the dimensions, materials used, structural detailing and workmanship.

Key records on supervision of soil nailing works (Appendix IX) should also be prepared and certified by the RGE’s TCP T3 who carries out the inspection, measurement or check. A full set of all certified records should be kept on site for the inspection by the BA.

The RGE’s TCP T5 personnel should verify the design assumptions and carry out design review during construction. He should check whether there are any anomalies that may invalidate the functional requirements of his design during his periodic site inspections and follow them up. He should also follow up any anomalies reported to him by the RGE’s TCP T3. If necessary, the RGE should make amendment submissions for the approval of the BA.

The extent of supervision required for different stages of soil nailing works is shown in Table 6.2. Actual supervision requirements will be imposed at plan approval stage by the BA on a case-by-case basis depending on the scale and complexity of the slope and the soil nailing works, and the anticipated construction difficulties. The RGE should nominate to the BA, an adequate number of qualified supervision personnel with suitable experience, taking into account the site conditions and the number of soil nails proposed and their lengths. During the construction stage, the RGE should review the adequacy of the supervision team taking into account the likelihood of concurrent construction requiring close supervision under the construction programme.

The RGE’s TCP T5 should provide supervision as necessary during all stages in Table 6.2. Moreover, he is required to provide the following supervision personally :
1. pull-out test and any specified site test – at least 1 nail each of pull-out test and site trial;
1. insertion of soil nail reinforcement – at least 2 working nails at early stage of nail construction;
1. grouting of soil nail hole – at least 2 working nails at early stage of nail construction; and

construction of soil nail heads and structural supports between nail heads – at least one soil nail head.

The RSC’s TCP T4 should also provide supervision as necessary during all stages in Table 6.2. Moreover, he is required to provide the following supervision personally :
1. pull-out test and any specified site test – at least 1 nail each of pull-out test and site trial;
1. insertion of soil nail reinforcement – at least 2 working nails at early stage of nail construction;
1. grouting of soil nail hole – at least 2 working nails at early stage of nail construction; and
1. construction of soil nail heads and structural supports between nail heads – at least one soil nail head.

On completion of installation of soil nails, the RGE shall submit to the BA key supervision records in the form of Appendix IX certified by his TCP T3. Upon review of the supervision records, if the BA considers that there is cause for concern in relation to the quality of soil nailing works, the BA will require the RGE to carry out non-destructive testing (NDT) of at least 1% of soil nails with a minimum of 2 nails per slope (including wall) to verify the length of the installed soil nails.

Several NDT methods for checking the length of installed soil nails are described in GEO Report No. 133 “Non-destructive Tests for Determining the Lengths of Installed Steel Soil Nails”. Alternatively, the RGE may propose other methods for BA’s agreement at the design stage of the project. A test report with the test results and their interpretations together with re-assessment of the adequacy of the installed soil nails (if needed) shall be submitted to the BA for acceptance.

1 Quality Supervision Requirements

Scope of Quality Supervision

Quality supervision is applicable for ground investigation field works, soil nailing works and foundation works.

Principles of Quality Supervision

For quality supervision, the principles described in paragraphs 6.3 to 6.6 below will be followed.

In accordance with Building (Administration) Regulation (B(A)R) 37(1) and (2), the RSE and RGE should each give such periodic supervision and make such inspections as may be necessary for building works. For such purpose, they should each have a team of TCPs to inspect the works at a specified frequency and supervise the carrying out of a specified percentage of the works. The RSE, RGE and their TCPs should all be respectively accountable under the BO for the quality of building works but in accordance with their respective responsibilities as specified.

As the RSE and/or RGE have overall responsibility for the works, they should personally inspect and supervise the works at such frequency and extent as they consider appropriate in the circumstances of each case.

The RC, represented by their AS, should have a similar system of supervision as that of the RSE and/or RGE above, but they should give continuous supervision in accordance with B(A)R 41(1). Even if some of the building works are carried out by their sub-contractors, it remains the responsibility of the RC to ensure that the building works and continuous supervision are properly done in accordance with the provisions of the BO and the system of supervision described above.

Inspection records should be kept for each member of the supervision team who should report any non-conformities to the RSE, RGE or AS, as the case may be.

Quality Supervision for Ground Investigation Field Works

All ground investigation field works, in both scheduled and non-scheduled areas, should be carried out by a Registered Specialist Contractor (Ground Investigation Field Works category) (RSC(GIFW)) under proper supervision. To ensure quality of the works, supervision for the different stages of pre-design ground investigation field works, such as drilling/coring, sampling, instrumentation and field testing, should comply with the requirements set out in Table 6.1.
