2. STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
2.1 GENERAL LAYOUT
The overall Layout showing location of structures is shown in drawing XXX. The general arrangement
of landing and outfitting jetty along with revetments is shown in drawing XXX The general
arrangement of boat repair quay is shown in drawing XXX The general arrangement of slipway and
section is shown in drawing XXX Typical section of boat repair yard is shown in drawing XXX
2.2 STRUCTURAL FORM
The landing and outfitting jetty is the main operational jetty where unloading of the catch takes place.
The structure is a combination of landside jetty(Parallel to the shoreline) and finger jetty
(perpendicular to the shoreline) propping from land side jetty. The land side jetties are 50.5m, 297 and
186m each and 16 wide. Three piles are considered at each bent. The finger jetties are 159m and
107.5m and 10 m wide. Two piles are considered at each bent. Bored cast insitu piles of 1m diameter
with 6.5m spacing in transverse and longitudinal direction is considered. The piles are connected by
transverse and longitudinal beam of 1.2m wide by 1.35m deep. A deck slab at +5.0 m CD of 0.5m
thick is considered for landing and outfitting jetty.
Outfitting quay for small boats is a block work structure on the berthing face and soil fill on the rear
face. The top of the deck at +5.0m is a RCC slab of 0.5m thick. Granular fill of minimum 18 kN/m3 to
be used as rear side fill material.
A slip way is provided for smooth movement for vessel from water to yard for repair operations. The
slipway provided is a RCC slab of 0.75m thick in a 1: 20 slope. The slab is supported by piles of
0.75m diameter at 5m spacing in both transverse and longitudinal direction. A boat cradle is provided
for transfer of vessel which is operated by a winch. The yard on the landside is constructed on a
reclaimed area. The yard is a RCC deck slab of 0.5m thick over a layer of 0.3m thick boulder soling.
Structural steel superstructure is provided in yard for an all-weather smooth boat repairing operations
The berthing structure of repair quay is made up of concrete blocks.
Revetments shall be provided on shoreline of landing and outfitting jetty. The revetments shall be of 2
layers of boulders of on a well compacted granular fill. The slope for the revetment shall be
maintained at 1:3.
Net mending and drying sheds shall be open yards with a 0.350m thick RCC slab.

3. CONSTRUCTION METHOD
The construction method proposed for piled jetty is as described below:
3.1 PILING
1. Drive steel liner up to refusal.
2. Bore inside the liner up to the founding level.
3. Lower Reinforcement cage and concrete the pile up to bottom of Pile muff.
4. Place sacrificial precast pile muff over the piles and concrete the annular space between the
pile and pile muff.
3.2 ERECTION & CONCRETE WORK
1. After the in-situ concrete attains strength, place the precast pile cap U beams over the Pile
muffs. Note that the Precast U beams are designed as part of permanent structure. The
maximum weight of precast U-beam is kept as 15T considering availability of 4 lifting
equipment
2. Concrete inside the U beam upto the soffit level of bottom slab.
3. After the in-situ concrete attains strength place precast planks and precast Fender wall panel
over the U beams.
4. Cast the in-situ portion of the bottom slab.
5. After the bottom slab attains strength the columns, beams and slabs of jetty head building is
constructed in conventional manner.
6. On completion of concrete works fixtures like fenders, bollards, staircase, pipes and cable
support system shall be installed
7. All equipment, pipes, cables, light poles shall be installed at the end.
3.3 ERECTION OF CONCRETE BLOCKS
1. Precast blocks are cast in designated precast yard based on available lifting capacity of the
crane.
2. Prepare a bed of crushed rock at founding level of at least 1m thick between load bearing
subsoil and lowermost spreader block
3. Each block is transported to the site and stacked on top of one another in a stretcher bond
pattern with free joints between them.
4. The joints are filled with crushed rocks to ensure minimum or no residual water pressure
5. The block are made with tongue and grove interlocks to key in their interface surface together.
6. Cope block or the topmost block which is a capping beam is made of RCC and is kept above
