ELECTRO-MECHANICAL WORKS
IMPREGILO ACC JOINT VENTURE
OUTLINE METHOD STATEMENT
Overview
The scope of the work in terms of construction and services includes the
following.
Impregilo / ACC - JV
For the Bidding of the whole project along with the execution of the works
(should we be successful), Impregilo has formed a partnership with first
grade Contractor, GCC / Doha based Grade A local contracting company.
This Partnership combines JV proven experience of executing large International
projects to the highest of standards with ACC extensive knowledge of the local
market and work force.
Introduction
The JV recognise that this projects must be executed in strict accordance with
the requirements and specifications defined within the Clients detailed
project Scope of Work and typically with the principles and concepts of the
ISO 9001 Standard. The success of the JV has generally been achieved with
a MEP sub-contractor through adherence to a fundamental objective, that is,
to provide our Clients with a comprehensive range of multi-discipline MEP
services to the highest quality within schedule.
Project Execution
Through all phases of project execution, JV will place strong emphasis on its
project management skills and in maintaining a close working relationship with
the Client. JV strongly believes that the project personnel must be properly
motivated to execute the work.
The initial activities will usually begin with a team building process to provide
team understanding of the project requirements and to align JV / MEP subcontractors and Client personnel with project objectives. Team members would
jointly plan project methodologies, work process interfaces, and technical
strategy to ensure consistency in strict adherence to Client requirements.
JV is recognised for high standards in the area of safety, both in Design
and Construction.
Throughout the MEP sub-contractor we share a common belief that safety is a
primary concern by coupling Client and International standards with a
commitment
to incorporate
safety
into
the
design
and
working
environment, we can collectively construct and implement all works conforming
to safe practices.
JV meet the challenge of project execution, beginning with JV Senior
Managements appointment of an Executive, who is assigned direct
responsibility for the successful completion of the project. The assigned MEP
Works Coordinator located in the project office under the control of the local
Project Manager provides monthly status reports to the Executive at Head Office.
To ensure total work process integration, JV procedures, software,
standards and the philosophy for the project execution are developed to be
Project and Client specific. JV place great emphasis on achieving a high level of
communication in our project work, not only within our organisation but also with
Clients, MEP sub-contractors and equipment suppliers. We believe that team
building fosters co-operation among personnel, provides an open forum for
sharing ideas and airing
differences, and provides a positive and productive environment for the
project team. The
development
of
trust
and
open
communications
between
project
participants is essential for the efficient execution of the project and the
timely completion of a quality job.
JV is absolutely committed to improving the quality of our work through our focus
on customer
needs, on leadership and team work, and on the work process. JV believe
that quality is
everyones responsibility and that doing the job right the first time while
meeting customer requirements is most important.
Project Commencement
The day that the letter of intent/award of contract is issued is the project
commencement date and within the first month JV will establish dedicated teams
to:
a) Hold meetings within the JV and Design Team to produce a fully coordinated programme detailing critical paths for all trades and MEP subcontractors.
b) Co-ordinate with the designers with the purpose of getting the
design
for
all elements finalized and all drawings to Issued For
Construction status. The For Tender issue of drawings for this project
require significant development to get them to an IFC stage (Issued for
Construction). We recognise that the drawings as issued represent a
design criteria/intent. Our engineering design team including nominated
MEP sub-contractor, will be mobilised as a priority, initially to an off-site
office in Doha, and later to site based offices to get the drawings to an IFC
status.
c) Mobilize and fit out site offices, canteens, sanitary areas etc.
d) Commencement of procuring suppliers and MEP sub-contractors.
e) Submit approvals for all non-specified materials.
Project Management
The nominated MEP sub-contractor will
provide
the
overall
Project
Management function on this project reporting in to the Main Contractor.
In this role, he will manage all activities performed by them, their MEP subcontractors and their other suppliers. The Company will carry out all its principal
management functions for the project with a team led by a senior JV Project
Manager. All project personnel will be based on site and have wide
ranging experience in similar projects. Typically, the Management functions
include the following:
Establish/agree project procedures and plans for internal work and coordination with external entities, including other Contractors.
Monitor and report progress measured against plans to the Client. The
progress reporting measurement is agreed with the Client prior to
implementation.
Following this agreement, JV Management direct
any actions needed to incorporate improvements, obtain Client
approvals as delineated in project procedures.
Monitor work scope and advise Client of any potential deviations
as soon as they are identified in the trend program.
Co-ordinate works scope between the project office, MEP subcontractors, and suppliers to ensure tasks are correctly interfaced.
Interfacing with the Clients Project Manager and Design team will be
initiated at an early stage to formalize communications, exchange and control
of data etc. This will also recognise the
interfacing between all parties including any third parties such as adjoining
owners, local residents or statutory authorities.
Project Meetings
At the earliest possible date a structure of weekly meetings will be put in place
to resolve any issues relating to:
-
Design
Co-ordination
Material delivery
Quality
Progress
Health and safety
Meetings will be held on a weekly basis and the principle goal following
all meetings will be to implement any action items and resolve all problems
before the next meeting.
Project Controls
JV will use the following elements of our standard Project Controls system. These
systems will be modified to accommodate preferences or specific requirements
determined by the Client.
Project Schedules.
Our scheduling system uses the Primavera program, or client preferred planning
tool.
Our approach is to develop four levels of scheduling and control for the
MEP activities. The project schedule incorporates the contract completion date
and key milestone dates and will indicate the relationship of the activities
of the Client, JV and other parties.

Goals for the coming week
The status meeting also regularly review updated schedules and progress
data from primavera including project cumulative percent complete curves for
Engineering, Procurement and Construction.
Monthly Status Reports. The monthly status report includes the following data:
-
Engineering
JV will provide a complete multi-discipline Detailed Engineering Design function
for the project.
When required, JV will supplement the project team with engineering
resources from Head Office and external affiliates.
During Detailed Design, strict adherence to both Client and internationally
applicable standards, codes and procedures are maintained and implemented.
Compliance to engineering works detailed by project Work Scope, together with
reviews to determine Value Engineering, Plant Operability and Safety are
deemed paramount in the execution of the project.
JV recognise that Quality Assurance must form an integral part of the
Design Engineering
Standards
Environmental Control
The Clients requirement is to build the Qatar National Museum following and to
meet the minimum Silver Standard of LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Certification. To fulfil with this requirement we should
proceed with attempting to achieve a LEED rating as requested by the Clients,
therefore the scheme and its processes should be embedded in the design
process as early as possible. This will require all members of the design team to
fully engage with the system to ensure a successful outcome.
Therefore the JV and all MEP sub-contractors will aim the Silver target level, to do
so we shall pay fully attention to the following credits because have a direct
impact to everybody in the site:
c) The design team would be responsible for reviewing the local codes/
standards against US equivalents and producing suitable calculations and
documents for the LEED champion to review for the assessment.
d) The design team would implement the LEED credit requirements into the
overall design and liaise with the LEED champion through to achieve this.
e) The design team would then be required to incorporate the requirements
of the targeted LEED credits with the various design packages.
f) The LEED champion would liaise with the USGBC and provide clarifications
as required during the Design Review process.
g) The LEED champion would submit the Design Stage assessment to the
USGBC.
A. Construction Phase
The Construction Phase will involve the gathering of evidence and completion of
LEED letter templates for submission to the USGBC. There will be a heavy
emphasis on the Contractor to engage with the process and his requirements
under the scheme will require to be written into the contract documents.
Our experience shows it is important for the Construction Manager to hire and
train a dedicated LEED champion who spends some of their time on site
reviewing LEED related issues.
These actions would be carried out by the LEED champion, Construction Manager
and design team.
The LEED champion would carry out a review of the status of points with
the design team
The LEED champion would carry out site visits to review the status of LEED
credits during construction;
Coordinate the revision of Design Submission credits with design team (if
needed) based on potential changes that occur during construction.
The LEED champion would provide advice to the Construction Manager
through the process.
We will organise our activity and operations in such a way as to minimise
the impact on the local environment.
We will control delivery to site in an orderly fashion and all Lorries leaving
site will have their wheels washed. All combustible waste materials will be
removed from site by Lorries or waste skips, fitted with dust covers. The
burning of any materials on site will be in agreement with the Construction
Manager.
All site operatives will be instructed as to the regulations pertaining to
safety, health and welfare with particular reference to noise and dirt
control.
All fuels, oils and gas bottles will be stored in dedicated bundled
compounds.
review process where some credits will be audited by the USGBC (U.S. Green
Building Council). The LEED champion would be required to liaise with the USGBC
during this phase and provide additional information as required.
These actions would be carried out by the LEED champion, Construction Manager
and design team.
a) Update the detailed Energy Performance /Low Carbon design narrative for
final design stage submission to the USGBC under LEED EA credit 1. The
narrative identifies the projects energy and carbon conservation goals
and features.
b) Make minor updates to the energy model to reflect the final preconstruction design and generate energy cost figures for submission to
the USGBC.
c) Submit energy cost figures to the USGBC through the online LEED letter
templates for EA credit 1.
1. Materials Handling
Under the scope of works covered in the tender documentation, no special
provisions will be necessary for material handling.
We will none the less ensure that all materials delivered to site are unloaded and
stacked as per the instructions of the manufacturer/Supplier.
The responsibility for this element of work will be with the field superintendent
with overall responsibility JVs Construction Manager.
2. Storage
Taking into account the special consideration of limited space on the work site
and also that JV will be procuring its major and minor equipment as early as
possible and with the formula Just on Time
3. Construction Management
JV will provide a complete multi discipline Construction team for project
execution. This will be done in close association with all MEP sub-contractors.
The Construction Team, under the direction of the Project Construction Manager
has the resources
needed to perform the work and be self-sufficient in execution through
the construction and commissioning phases of the project. Also, during the
Detailed Design Phase, senior construction personnel provide assistance in to
implement constructability reviews for input into design.
The dedicated Project Construction Management team typically provide the
following expertise:
1. Welfare Facilities
All welfare facilities will be properly maintained during the contract and
waste from the canteen and offices will be removed in a covered skip.
Temporary services to site facilities will be provided as early as possible.
2. Work Sub-let
Where the Company intends to sub-let elements of the work, the Main Contractor
and Clients Project Manager will be notified beforehand.
Only MEP subcontractors that have the capabilities in resources management and plant to
carry out the works will be considered. They will also comply with all the
industrial relations requirements for the project.
