    The document describes the top-down construction method for building a basement. A cut-off wall and bore piles are constructed first. Steel stanchions are placed on top of the bore piles to provide support during excavation and construction. The ground floor slab is poured, then excavation and construction proceeds downward level by level, with the steel stanchions and concrete slabs providing support at each stage. Finally, the basement walls are poured with the steel stanchions encased within, transforming them into the permanent basement columns.

    The document outlines the top-down construction method for building a basement using bore piles, steel stanchions, and reinforced concrete.

    Bore piles are installed prior to construction as a foundation for the future building and to support temporary steel stanchions during excavation and construction.

    Steel stanchions are placed on top of bore piles to provide support during excavation and construction of basement levels. They serve as columns for the structure until encased in concrete.

    Ground level

    Cut-off wall (e.g. sheet pile, pipe-pile, soldier pile or diaphragm wall etc.) Future basement formation level

    Bore-pile (usually by previous foundation contractor) as foundation for future building (blue area is concrete filled as pile)

    Illustration to explain the construction of basement using top-down method

    Ground level (excavation not started yet)


    Cut-off wall Steel stanchion place onto bore pile as temporary support for basement construction Future basement formation level

    Bore-pile as foundation for future building

    Steel casing (tube)

    Steel stanchion (column)

    Steel base

    Steel base embedded into concrete for future connection of steel stanchion by welding

    Bore pile

    Connection between steel stanchion and bore pile

    Steel stanchion (column) placed on top of the bore pile as support for top-down basement as well as permanent column for future structure

    Ground level First level of excavation to allow construction of the ground floor slab Cut-off wall Future basement formation level

    Bore-pile

    Ground floor slab being construction and serve also as lateral support to the cut off wall First level of excavation to allow construction of the ground floor slab Cut-off wall

    Future basement formation level

    Completion of the ground floor slab and start to excavate downward for the first basement using the steel stanchions as support

    Completion of the ground floor slab and start to excavate downward for the first basement using the steel stanchions as support

    Superstructure can be constructed at the same time upon completion of the ground floor slab
    Ground floor slab being constructed and serve also as lateral support to the cut off wall Second level of excavation to allow construction of the first basement slab

    Future basement formation level

    Ground floor and first basement slab being constructed

    Future basement formation level

    Excavation repeated until the completion of the entire basement

    Excavation and construction of the basement slab using double-bit arrangement

    Other work reality in top-down basement congested work environment, complicated layout, difficult phasing of work as part of the construction planning

    Cast the basement wall and encase the steel stanchion to become permanent columns, all using formwork and reinforced concrete

    Basement steel stanchion finally encased with reinforced concrete to become permanent column
