20 Site Facilities
Site Access
The access to site is leading from a highway north of the airport site area, via a tempo-
rary site road to the Site office area, as indicated in tender drawing no.
5410/T/CV-10-1007. It is also noted in the drawing that a common access corridor is
running in east-west direction at the south side of Passenger Terminal Building and
Airport Technical Complex. It is our assumption that the temporary site road will link to
this common access corridor. All Related Works Contractors will make use this site road
at the same times. Busy traffic flow on this road is expected. Coordination with Related
Works Contractors will be arranged to coordinate the common use of this road to ensure
a smooth traffic flow, especially during the concrete placing works for raft footings and
basement slab at level -5.00, since a large concrete quantity of approximately 1600m3 is
planned. The coordination will avoid, as far as practicable, large traffic flow of different
Package Contractors occurring at the same time.
Temporary site access will be formed from the common access corridor up to the areas
around PTB and ATC, as indicated in our site layout plan. Temporary site access will be
formed once the site areas are handed over by Package 2 Contractor. All construction
vehicles for PTB and ATC works will make use of the temporary site access formed
leading from the common access corridor.
Noting from the contract documents, the area handover for PTB, Area A2 and ATC,
Area A7a are not on the same date. Since Area A2 will be handed over earlier than A7a,
the site access will be formed separately upon individual area handover.

Site Planning and Layout
Site offices will be erected by the Package 2 Contractor in Area A1 as indicated in site
layout plan. Subsequent to the office being handed over by Package 2 Contractor, set-
ting up of office will take place at the first instance; and, the staff already mobilised will
immediately move into the site office once ready.
Works areas will be assigned at locations, to be agreed by the Employer, close to the
Passenger Terminal Building and Airport Technical Complex areas as far as possible.
The following major plants and work areas are planned to be set up on site :
Batching Plant
Storage Area.
Please refer to the site layout plan attached for reference. The above mentioned plant
and site areas will be mobilised / erected on site upon taking over of the works areas.
Mobilisation
After the date for ‘Contractor Appointed’, mobilisation will be arranged immediately.
As the site office will not yet be handed over by the Package 2 Contractor (until after
the first 1.5 months) only off-site activities could be arranged in the earliest days; and
these will include the commencement of design work by the design team temporarily
(and conveniently) located in Hyderabad. The Director-in-charge and Project Manager
will organize the project team members. Staff involved in the design, commercial and
project control staffing will be mobilised first, followed by the staff involved in the
Construction, E/M Quality Assurance and Safety, Health & Environmental manage-
ment.
Once the design team staff are fully mobilised, design for the foundation and basement
structure of the passenger terminal building will be started first, targeting the Key Per-
formance Indicators and construction sequence. And, the design for superstructures will
follow. Roof structures and covering design will start at the same time of superstructure
due to the long lead time for manufacture and fabrication. Design for finishes, E/M sys-
tems, IT systems and security systems work activities will also start shortly after the

5.5 months after the date of ‘Notification to Proceed’ for Package 3 Contract and 238
days after the date of ‘Notification to Proceed’ for Package 2 Contract.
There is a requirement in the tender documents that about 3 months’ time before the
Completion shall be allowed for the airport operation trials. The construction works, in-
cluding the integrated testing & commissioning with the Related Works Contractors,
shall therefore be completed within the 30th months. If also taking into account that
PTB area, Area 2, will be the first area handed to Package 3 Contract for construction,
approximately 1.5 months after the ‘Notice to Proceed’ received by the Contractor as
indicated in the Employer’s Project Master Programme, works for this Contract shall be
completed within 28.5 months.
Setting Out
Teams of experienced surveyors, lead by the chief surveyor, will be employed to pro-
vide the basic setting out, base lines and benchmarks at the suitable locations within the
basement areas. Theodolites and steel tapes shall be used for the setting out works as the
basis to be used for further detailed setting out. Another set of base lines and bench-
marks will be set onto the above ground structures before proceed the backfilling to
basement levels.
Surveyors and chainmen will also be responsible for further detailed setting out and
leveling for the raft footings and basement structures. For some critical base lines and
setting out marks set out by surveyors and chainman, the chief surveyor will carry out
counter-checking before they will be used for further setting out or construction activi-
ties.
It is a basic principle that the correctness of setting out serves as a vital element for the
correct construction for the Contract. A checking system will be formulated to ensure
the correctness of works. These base lines and benchmarks will be regularly checked by
the chief surveyor to ensure their correctness. Theodolites and steel tapes will be cali-
brated at regular intervals to ensure the correctness of these equipments.
Independent Survey’ Surveyof India’ will be deployed to verification of the initial base-
line and the benchmark once the control point is established at site.

Excavation for the footings and basement slab at level -5.0 will be proceed in direction
as follows :-
From southeast to northwest in Zone 1;
Final trimming of formation to the designed level will be carried out by manpower as-
sisted by excavators.
It is expected that an output of 2000 m3 approximately by using 20 excavators could be
achieved daily.
Anti-termite Treatment
After excavation and final trimming of any individual zone is completed, anti-termite

treatment to the native ground will be carried out in accordance with local best practice
and the Specification.
The construction of the basement at Level B -5.0. The construction method for the
basement will be elaborated hereunder.
The basement will be sub-divided into 3 zones in the same way as for excavation works,
as well as direction of construction. Construction work will proceed in sequence of Zone
1 immediately after the excavation work within the area is completed. Zone 2 & 3 will
commence after works in Zone 1 is completed.
Timber formwork will be used for the stop ends of the footings and construction and
expansion joints.
For the structural construction work above Level -5.0 slab, steel formwork will be used
for columns. The column formwork will be fabricated into panels in the factory and
bolted together on site. The formwork will be strutted against the concrete floor slab al-
ready cast underneath. For beams and slabs construction, timber formwork, steel/timber
joists resting on steel frame scaffolding will be adopted for supporting the timber beam
and slab formwork. Timber formwork will be used for wall construction.
The intention is that columns and external walls will be constructed separately from the
beams and slabs, whereas the external walls will be constructed simultaneously with the
associated beams and slabs.
The above method for constructing columns, walls, beams and slabs will be adopted
throughout the whole RC construction for PTB structural elements.
Achieving watertightness for the structures of the basement construction is an area of
concern. A waterproofing system will be installed as required by the design and in full
compliance with the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure water-tightness of the
basement. Water-stops will be provided to all construction joints connecting the external
basement walls and slabs at both Level -5.0 basements. Also, waterproofing treatment, if
required by the designer, will be provided to construction joints between concrete bays
during basement slab construction, following the details designed by the architect / en-
gineer. Construction joints will be prepared and laitance removed for good connection
between bays of construction. Either stepped joint or keys will be provided at the loca-
tion of construction joints.

Superstructure
There are two main levels: Level E at +7.50 and Level F at +12.50. Besides these, there
are two office levels at +17.50 and +20.5 respectively.
The areas of the Passenger Terminal Building will be divided into three zones. The con-
struction will proceed in sequence according to that shown in attached sketch Nos.
SK-07 to SK-10 and further described below.
In view of the movement joints designed by the Designer as shown in the attached lay-
out plan no. SK-01, the area division for PTB superstructure will differ from that at
Level –5.00 but will follow that for Level –0.40. The division will comprise the follow-
ing zoning :-
Zone A - gridlines 46-58/V-J, the movement joint adjacent gridline M;
Zone B - gridlines 29-35/J-Aa; and
Zone C - gridlines 35-75/J-Aa.
In order to achieve the Key Performance Indicators stipulated in the contract documents
for providing access to ALS Contractor in due sequence of Areas P7, P1, P4, P6, P8, P2,
P3, P5 and P9, the construction will be sequenced as follows :-
Zone A will proceed with gridline V-S and gridline M-J together, followed by grid-
line R-M;
Zone B will proceed with gridline 46-54 and gridline 29-39 together, followed by
gridline 39-46;
Zone C will proceed with gridline 54-61 and gridline 68-75 together, followed by
gridline 61-68.
The intention is that the superstructure construction will be divided into bays of 36m x
Page 16 of 61
Hyderabad International Airport

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
45m approximately. By adopting this principle, it is estimated that there will be 8 bays
within Zone A, 6 bays within both Zone B and Zone C. It is planned that at least 3 to 4
bays within each zone will be constructed at the same time.
As mentioned above, the construction of columns and beams / slabs will be carried out
separately. After the floor slab of an individual bay is cast, the columns of the following
level will start on the following day; and the falsework for the beams and slabs above
will commence simultaneously. Propping below a completed slab will only be removed
in accordance with a schedule agreed with the Designer in order to protect the integrity
of the newly cast concrete.
Truss design
Page 17 of 61
Hyderabad International Airport
Tender for package 3: Passenger Terminal Building Works
Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
In its simplest form the roof structure for the PTB roofs comprises 6 main trusses for the
northern, landside roof and 12 for the southern, airside roof. All trusses are set at 18m
centres and span 45m between concrete columns; and all have 16m+ cantilevers on both
ends. The supports for each truss differ in level by over 7m; and the north and south
roofs are handed. Lateral trusses span 18m @ 6m centres between the main trusses and
bracing panels, again @ 6m centres span between the secondary trusses. Edge trusses,
supported by short lateral cantilevered frames complete the main roof steelwork. The
northern building is designed to be expandable in the easterly and westerly directions in
subsequent phases of construction outwith Package 3.
However, given the slenderness of the trusses in plan, more numerous, lighter twin
boxed trusses are preferred for stability during erection. The layout of the transverse
trusses and bracing can be varied without compromising structural integrity or architec-
tural considerations. In any case the methodologies remain similar. Wherever possible,
the materials will be sourced from the Indian subcontinent; but welding, welding in-
spection and construction methods will be carried out to relevant international standards
in terms of quality, safety and environmental aspects, all as required by the tender
documents.
Fabrication - Introduction
The trusses are of a size that precludes total offsite fabrication; but steel fabrication of
elements of the trusses will take place in the factory of a major steelwork sup-
plier/subcontractor. The subcontractor will deliver the elements to site in sizes designed
to maximise logistical efficiency and minimize disruption to local communities and
their way of life. The above notwithstanding, the elements will be fabricated in sections
as large as is practicable; and all sections will be grit blasted and primed ex-works with
a holding coat applied to the prepared ends for welding following established good
practice.
Steel fabrication on site will take place under factory conditions, employing the same
subcontractors, his equipment and personnel.

3. the trusses are assembled and welded in the ‘laid down’ position, but resting on
blocks sufficiently high off the flat bed to allow welding to go on under the section
without compromising the integrity thereof;
4. as work proceeds, the welds are checked and certified by an independent testing
agency, using ultrasound or other techniques and at a frequency in accordance with
the relevant International Standard in the IS 800 series, proposed by the Designer
and approved by the Quality Manager and the ER; full quality records will be kept,
allocating each truss and each node member with a unique reference number
against which all details of the work are recorded;
5. as each truss (or section of truss) is completed, the shelters are removed; and the
gantries or cranes raise them to the vertical position, bearing against the rollover
stools; a series of “foldaway” A-frame props will be raised, ready to receive and
prop the raised truss;
6. The gantries or tower cranes will then be used to assist in installing the internal
bracing which forms part of the lateral trusses; and sufficient such bracing will be
added until the boxed truss assembly is stable for moving safely as a single unit;
7. the truss assembly will first be placed on temporary stools on plinths in the “paint
repair yard” portion of the storage area and provided with shelters under which the
welded joints will be prepared for painting in accordance with the specifications;
this will include localized blasting but with previously primed sections protected
against damage;
8. following this “paint repair” operation, the boxed truss will then receive its final
layers of paint; two painting beds will be established so that there is always a place
available for the next truss fabricated;
9. painted trusses will then be moved into storage on temporary stools resting on the
concrete plinths; ‘close storage’ of the trusses for maximum yard efficiency will be
employed, typically with 500mm between;
10. mobile crane will be provided in order to provide flexibility in the yard, but also to
allow the use of one set in distributing the trusses onto the roof into their final posi-
tions; it will be seen that this provides the opportunity for mobilisation of the

Truss Erection
The trusses in storage are in a ‘false alignment’ in elevation in that the support points
are at similar levels. In their final positions in the roof, the support points will be at dif-
ferent levels, requiring the erection cranes to establish the true relationship before the
main lift is carried out. The trusses will be winched into position adjacent to the build-
ing and passing between two 60t tracked or mobile cranes. After both cranes have taken
up the load, the yard bogies will be withdrawn as will the temporary bracing (which
would be at the wrong orientation after subsequent revolution of the trusses).
One of the cranes will then lift the ‘high end’ of the truss until the correct, final orienta-
tion is achieved; and temporary works and indicators will guarantee the correctness and
repeatability of this operation. For safety reasons, it is imperative that both cranes oper-
ate in concert with each other.
(Single trusses shown for clarity)

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
Two scaffold towers outside the eastern building line support the ends of the rail system
which will also be used to carry the truss delivery across the roof. The derrick hoist are
supported across the building on continuous scaffold and prop erected on the Departure
Level slab. The external towers will house a solid support onto which the cranes will
lower the boxed trusses. The derrick hoist will be in position of the truss to be
erected.The truss is winched to its final position with much of the lateral trusses and
bracing already in place within the boxed truss to give it the necessary stability. Once
connected, the derrick hoist can be dismantled and re-erected at the next location and
the start to await the next boxed truss. The remainder of the elements of the lateral
trusses and bracing are placed by tower crane in 6m sections. The tower cranes are also
used to install the final north-south bracing between the lateral trusses.
Curtain Walling and Cladding
Curtain walling and cladding system is designed as the external enclosure along the
whole perimeter of the Passenger Terminal Building, Technical Building, ATC Tower
head and also the link bridge. Subcontractor will be employed to carry out the manu-
facture, fabrication and installation of the whole system.
Upon award of the Sub-Contract, the Sub-contractor shall develop detailed design of the
Facade Systems in accordance with the design intent and shall submit for approval. The
Sub-Contractor shall also warrant the suitability of all selected design, materials and in-
stallation works for a period as stated in the Employer’s Requirements.
The Works shall be fabricated and installed in accordance with shop drawings reviewed
without objection and within the prescribed construction tolerances set out in the Em-
ployer’s Requirements and the Specification.

Procurement
Immediately after the Notice to Proceed received by the Contractor, procurement of
Subcontractor will start immediately. After the subcontract awarded, Subcontractors will
carry out their detailed design and prepare the shop drawings for approval. When the
shop drawings are either approved or only minor comments received, materials pur-
chasing will start.
Manufacturing and Delivery
All materials, including the metal profiles, glazing, panels, etc. will be manufacture in
factory in accordance with the approved shop drawings. Materials will be delivered to
site in several packages to match the installation on site. The manufacturing and deliv-
ery schedule has been considered and incorporated into the Tender Programme, submit-
ted separately in this tender.
Preparation and Setting-out
Double layer scaffolding will be erected to provide a safe working platform. Workers
will make use of this working platform for fixing the curtain wall and cladding onto the
building RC structures. Working platform for ATC tower head curtain wall installation
will be erected on top of the temporary support, previously installed at the lower floor
level for the structure construction. All temporary working platforms will only be re-
moved after all testing and cleaning works completed.
Work areas will be cleared before allowing subcontractor to start the installation work.
Subcontractor will be invited to carry out a joint site inspection to ensure the area is
ready for the installation. Our surveying team will set out the baseline and level marks
for Subcontractor’s reference and use. Joint survey with Subcontractor will be arranged
afterwards to confirm the correctness of these baselines and level marks.
Correct setting out will be a crucial issue for the installation of the curtain walling and
cladding, particularly for the installation at PTB, since the installation work is divided
into three zones. The correct matching of the installation at the intersect points is critical.
Before the installation work commences, the specialist subcontractors will be invited to
carry out joint surveys to ensure the correct installation of the external enclosures.
Installation for PTB and Technical Building
Material will be delivered from storage area to the spot of installation immediately be-
fore their installation to avoid unnecessary damage. Material will be delivered horizon-
tally to the spot by mobile crane and vertically by chain blocks supporting on the roof
structure. Protection will be provided to eliminate any possible damage to the finished
roof structure.

cladding, glazing and wood panels will only installed after E/M major concealed instal-
lation, such as the air ducts with droppers, pipe works etc. completed.
The quality of materials will be checked before installation and completed works will be
properly protected, with plastic sheet covered with plywood board for proprietary in-
stallations and products. The proper procedures in preparing the material and in se-
quencing of works will be in accordance with the specification and manufacturers’
recommendations.
The finishing works and the E & M services installation will be well coordinated to
provide a good and acceptable appearance, which will be described in more detail in the
section for E/M Installation, IT systems and Security systems, etc. (See below)
For the critical rooms such as AOCC in the basement level and control room in ATC
tower, etc., top priority will be given for the related fitting out and finishing works in-
side these rooms completed in order to ensure an early achievement of testing & com-
missioning and especially the integrated testing with related contractors. This has been
taken into account in the preparation of the tender programme.
Other installations, such as furniture and signage, will be installed in a relatively late
stage of finishes and E/M installations.
Successful and close coordination is crucial for the smooth progress of the work. The
coordination process will be in three aspects:
Firstly, all the works within individual packages undertaken by subcontractors shall
be monitored to ensure progress in a timely manner and in accordance with the
specifications / drawings;
Secondly, works of individual packages shall be carried out in an integrated manner
within the site constraints and in such a way that they are compatible with other
packages. The space constraint is of particular concern; and
thirdly, smooth interface during the site installation stage shall be ensured.
Planning engineers will be assigned to take up the coordination and monitoring respon-
sibilities of the installation of architectural finishing works. They will have the follow-
ing responsibilities:
Preparation of work sequence and schedules, in accordance with the time scale of the
master programme, for issuance, submission / approval of shop drawings and sub-
mission / approval of material. These schedules will be used to record and monitor
the date and status of each individual shop drawing / material submissions.
Close co-ordination with the Architect to ensure timely issuance of design drawings.

ing concrete.
Regular coordination meetings with all relevant parties will be arranged to coordinate
and monitor site progress. Ad-hoc meetings will be held to resolve particular site
problems.
Scaffolding will be erected to provide a safe working platform. Workers will make use
of this working platform for fixing the external enclosure onto the building RC struc-
tures.
Please refer to Appendix 2 to the Form of Tender - the Tenderer’s Proposal for more
details and the method of construction as required by Annexure A of the ‘Instruction to
Tenderers’ for Cost Centre under Book 3.
Erection frames and jigs will be used in order to remove the need for joints and single
width rolls will be preferred. Once the membrane has been hoisted, it must be gradually
tensioned to 95 % of the final prestress tension. When this point has been reached, every
part of the project must be checked for compliance with the specification and the manu-
facturer’s requirements. Finally, the membrane will be fully tensioned, checked again
and signed off. It will be necessary to further tension the roof at a later date.
1.4 Air Traffic Control Tower Complex
1.4.6 Foundations and Structural Concrete Works
to Main Shaft
The foundation design for the ATC tower comprises
an 18m x 18m raft footing with individual column
footings for the technical building.
As the ATC tower is over 70m in height whereas the
technical building is a building of two levels, the
construction of the ATC tower will be of first prior-
ity.
Page 27 of 61
Hyderabad International Airport
Tender for package 3: Passenger Terminal Building Works
Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
Based on the above principle, excavation will be carried out in the sequence: ATC tower
and then the technical building. Excavation will be carried out by means of hydraulic
excavators.
The methods used for construction of the PTB will be adopted for construction of the
technical building except that pre-fabricated slab formwork will be used for the con-
struction of the waffle slabs. Also, in view of the particular characteristics of the ATC
tower, listed below, the construction methods for this tower will require a different ap-
proach:-
The tower is of height over 70m;
The core structure is elliptical in shape and some end walls taper from ground level
up to Level +54 approximately;
An inverted cone design is adopted for the five floor levels on top of the core struc-
ture;
Structural glazing for the terminal area control room at the uppermost floor is re-
quired to support the roof structure.
The core structure starts from the ground floor at +0.6m; and
construction of the core structure will proceed in modules of
3-metre height to match the modular design concept indicated
in the tender drawings. The first portion of core structure
above +0.6m will be carried out by means of timber formwork
for the fixing of system formwork above and to make up the
level for the 3-metre modules.
Jump form technology will be employed as the formwork
system for the tower core structure. Working platforms are
incorporated into this system to provide a safe working
environment. The weight of this formwork system is heavy,
requiring that the erection and dismantling shall be crane
assisted. One tower crane of 50 metres in jib length will be
erected at a location in between the tower and the Technical
Building for the erection and dismantling of this formwork
system and also for the construction of the Technical Building
structure.
There are a total of 18 cycles of the 3-metre module from ground to Level +54. The ex-
ternal wall above Level +48 is curving outwards so that the jump form system will not
be deployed above this level. However, the working platforms will be modified to match
the curvature of the external walls. Pre-cast concrete permanent formwork will be used
for the construction of this curved external wall. Pre-cast concrete panels of approxi-
mately 3 metres in length will be lifted by tower crane and fixed onto and tied down to
the concrete floor slab. Steel fixing will be carried out after the pre-cast concrete wall
form completely fixed onto the concrete floor. Timber internal wall form will be closed
after the steel fixing is completed and checked satisfactorily. After the wall formwork
and steel fixing is checked satisfactorily, concrete placing will commence; and this will
be carried out by tower crane and skip. The precast panels, similar to reinforced earth

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
After completion of the core structure, construction of the inverted cone structure will
follow. The design employs a R.C. beams and slabs in the conforming tender and a
composite floor of steel sections and concrete floor slab in an alternative design for this
inverted cone structure.
For the conforming design, the same approach, steel frame falsework, timber formwork,
etc. for construction of PTB R.C. elements will also be adopted here. It is also noted that
there are floor beams and slabs projecting outside the floor edges below. For the con-
struction of these projections, steel sections will be bolted onto the concrete floor slab to
serve as a support to the falsework at the projections. Details of the steel section support
will be designed by our engineer and finalized during the detail design stage.
Alternatively, steel beams are designed to be supporting on the R.C. core structure or on
steel trusses. Steel trusses will then be installed ahead of the steel floor structure at dif-
ferent levels as the supports. Steel floor structures will be fabricated in sections on level
ground within reach of the tower crane. Steel plates will be welded onto steel sections to
form a safe working platform and also serve as the slab formwork. Safety steel guard-
rails with toe boards will be fixed onto the steel structure to provide a safe working en-
vironment for the subsequent concrete work to be carried out on top of this steel struc-
ture.
The fabricated steel structure will be lifted by tower crane and fix on top of the core and
connected to the core structure or steel trusses. The heaviest member of the composite
structures is approximately 2.5 tonnes in weight. The floor steel structure, as a whole, is
found to be exceeding the capacity of the tower crane. Also in view of the necessary
connections to the R.C. core structure or the steel trusses, the steel floor structures will
be fabricated as a whole section in between the core structure or the steel truss supports.
Page 29 of 61
Hyderabad International Airport

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
The weight of each section will be calculated to ensure it is within the lifting capacity of
the tower crane. The sections will be bolted or welded together on the spot subject to fi-
nal design. After the steel structure erection is completed, steel fixing and side form
erection will be carried out for the concrete works.
Technical Building
The construction of the R.C. structure for the Technical Building was described above.
Subsequent to the R.C. structure being completed, structural steel post supports, north
of gridline A, for the steel roof structure will be erected immediately. Clearing of first

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
floor area will commence at the same time, followed by the roof structure erection.
It is estimated that the total weight of roof structure would be over 100 tonnes. It is
noted that the main members of the trusses are designed running east-west direction.
The heaviest member would be SB1 at gridlines 1-5/F, weighing approximately 4.5
tonnes. In our planning that the roof structure will be installed in sequence on a member
by member basis. An installation period around one month is expected. Main members,
SB1 at gridline F, SB3 in between gridlines E-B inclusive and SB4 at and also north of
gridline A, will be erected first and in the direction from south to north. After these main
members are installed, the secondary members SB2 and SB4 will be installed, in be-
tween the main members, and these will be installed following the same direction from
south to north. Finally, the infill members SB5 at gridlines 2-5/A-C and also the edge
beams SB5 south of gridline F will be installed.
The design for the roof structure is symmetrical for the east and west portions although
handed. The installation method and sequence as mentioned above will be adopted for
both portions. All members installation will be carried out by means of mobile cranes
assisted by a tower crane. A tower crane will also be employed for the installation only
when its service is not required for the ATC Tower construction works.
External glazing and cladding enclosure, including dry stone cladding, installation
works will proceed from ground level up and commence from south to north to allow
the installation at the link bridge area to start at the earliest opportunity.
Link Bridge
A link bridge 18 metres long connects the Technical Building and ATC Tower at the first
floor level. The link bridge is formed by a truss of RHS steel sections. 300 x 200 x 10
RHS are used for the main members. At the four corners of the truss, 250 x 150 x 8
RHS are used as the vertical members connecting the top chord and bottom chord on
both sides. 200 x 120 x 6 RHS are used as the horizontal ties. 120 x 120 x 10 angles are
used as the bracings for each span within the truss. There are 9 spans comprising the
whole truss. It is estimated that the total weight of this link bridge is less than 10 tonnes.
In view of the link bridge being of relatively light-weight, our planning is that the whole
link bridge will be pre-fabricated on level ground, with all the members and bracings
completed.
After the R.C. structure of the building and the tower are completed, the elastomeric
bearings will be installed on the ATC Tower supporting R.C. walls. Shims will be used
to adjust the bearings into their final and correct levels. The position and levels of the
bearings will be carefully checked by our surveyors. Once the bearings were checked in
their final and correct positions and levels, underside of the bearings will be grouted.
After the grouting under the bearing pads has achieved the designed strength, the link
bridge installation will proceed.
Mobile cranes will be employed for the lifting and installation. The link bridge will be
shifted by mobile cranes to a position adjacent to its final installation position. The mo-
bile cranes will then be moved and sit at the nearest location behind the truss. The link

bridge truss will finally be lifted and installed onto the supporting bearings on the ATC
Tower side and R.C. support on the Technical Building side in one operation. Jacking
methods will be used to shift the truss slowly into its final and correct position and lev-
els. After the final position and level of the bridge truss are set, bolting / welding to con-
nect the truss onto the supporting bearings or R.C. structure will be carried out.

Attachment 9:- Construction Method Statement
Cylinder Mounting
When it has been determined that weight and pressure are within acceptable limits, in-
stall the cylinder in position on the rail, add strap and secure loosely with the spring nuts
and spacers provided. At this stage, the strap should not be drawn up tight against the
cylinder. Some cylinder movement should be permitted while aligning the cylinder
valve discharge outlet with the discharge tube.
The next step involves the discharge tube. The piping between the storage cylinders and
the nozzles shown on the drawing should be the shortest route allowable with a mini-
mum of elbows and fittings. Correct alignment is essential for proper mating and an ul-
timately tight seal. All piping must be securely anchored to rigid support by means of
brackets. After the discharge tube has been installed and secured, tighten the stud nuts to
firmly secure the cylinder strap. This will snug the cylinder into position.
The discharge nozzle is the ultimate device which delivers the extinguishing agent to
the hazard area. The nozzle to be mounted as described and shown on the drawing
should allow for unobstructed flow of the discharge stream.
The first step in making the system operational is the connection of the Manual Release
Unit to the cylinder valve. Once it has been determined that the unit is in the
non-operated condition (probe retracted), it can be attached to the connection on the
cylinder valve. The next step in making the system operable is to properly wire the so-
lenoid pilot valve assembly.
