6. Procedures
6.1 Excavation, Compaction and Backfilling Works Procedure.
Tools & Equipment
 Excavator
 Pay Loader
 JCB
 Six Wheel Truck
 Bob cat
 Shovel
 Total Station
 Meter tape
Survey:
 Verifying the detail of excavation according to the latest Issued for Construction (IFC)
drawing before the start of the work. Conduct a survey and marking the location and
the limits of the area to be excavated. Allowance will be provided to have enough
working space between the foundation to be constructed and the edge of the bottom
of the excavation for the personnel and forms, bracing and supports will be installed.
In marking the excavation limits, consideration should also be given for additional
area to accommodate side slopes of the excavation.
 Determine the depth of the excavation from the existing ground taking reference from
the latest IFC drawing.
 Coordinate with other disciplines involved, to verify any existing service/utility lines
such as water line, power line and telephone line running through boundaries of ex-
cavation before starting work.
 All excavations shall be hard barricaded at all times.
Excavation:
 Set upping barricades and signboards around the area to prevent unwanted persons
from entering the excavation site. Before starting excavation, verify underground ser-
vices if any is existing.
 Reporting immediately to the company any unknown underground installation en-
countered during excavation. Stop work and wait for further instructions.
 Excavating trial pits where required and as instructed by company when existing util-
ity lines or facilities are encountered, to establish the exact location. The excavation
will be done manually and carefully in order not to damage the utility lines or facilities.
 Using mechanical excavator whenever possible and if the site condition permits. Ex-
cavation permit will be obtained before starting the work. Excavate manually around
existing structure or in congested area where the use of power machines are not
possible.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 6 of 24
 Barricade will be placed around the machine operation area where the excavation
site is close to the existing structures, sufficient shoring and bracing system will be
planned and approved by Safety Department and then built against the excavation
wall to prevent any possible collapse of the excavation slope and also damage to the
structures. Where the excavation extends below the foundation of existing adjacent
structures well planned and approved measures to protect that structure must be pro-
vided.
 Excavate up to the desired level, width and length as required to conform to the latest
IFC drawing. The vertical tolerance will be as per specification.
 When the desired bottom elevation is reached, level and compact the ground by us-
ing an appropriate machine such as roller, jumper or plate compactors up to the re-
quired density to confirm with the project specification requirement.
 Removing and replacing with compacted suitable fill, any sort of contaminated soil, if
any, found at excavation bottom.
Excavation using jack hammer
What is Jack Hammer?
An electric jackhammer is a lightweight tool fitted with a spade to break earth or rock, or a
chisel/point used for minor demolition works and the breaking of rock, concrete and other
masonry materials.
Identified Risks and Hazards
Specific hazards that may arise when using the Jack hammer include:
Exposure to noise - this can cause hearing loss.
Electric shock - when chipping into walls, floors or wherever “live” electrical wires may be
encountered, do not touch any metal part of the tool. Hold the tool by the insulated grasping
surfaces to prevent electric shock if you chip into a “live” wire.
Skin burns - high temperature of the moving parts after operation - these will be very hot if
touched.
Damage to fingers - keep hands away from moving parts.
Dust inhalation - Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to
prevent dust inhalation and skin contact.
Head injury - wear a hard hat (safety helmet) especially in demolition activities.
Pre-operational Safety
 Before starting your work at your chosen area, you should inspect your work place,
do hazard identification and take appropriate risk control measures.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 7 of 24
 Review the Safe Work Method Statement supplied with the equipment.
 Wear appropriate and close fitting clothing. Long hair must be contained.
 Ensure to wear the proper fitting PPE such as safety goggles, ear muffs, safety
boots, helmet, gloves etc.
 Due to normal operation, the tool is designed to create strong vibrations. The screws
can come loose easily, causing a breakdown or an accident. Check tightness of
screws carefully before starting to operate the tool.
 When using electric models, ensure that your power outlet is protected by an RCD
(Residual Current Device) safety switch.
 Use of the demolition hammer will cause collapse of structure in some applications.
Installation of approved shoring or suitable controls is required.
Operating Safety Precautions
 When using any power tool or equipment, do not over reach.

 Ensure that you have firm footing and are always ready to handle any reaction the
equipment may make.
 Do not point the tool at any one in the area when operating. The bit could fly out and
injure someone seriously.
 Do not touch the bit or parts close to the bit immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
 Check the controls and any safety device for proper response.
 Do not operate the tool if you are tired or suffering any medical condition.
 Do not hurry your work and take unnecessary risks.
Operating Procedure
 Always be sure that the unit is switched off and unplugged before installing or remov-
ing the bit
 Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
 Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
 Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch returns to the “OFF”
position when released.
 Do not tape, tie or fix the switch lever in the “On” position. To start the tool, simply
squeeze the lever. Release the switch to stop.
 For chipping/scaling or demolition, hold the tool firmly with both hands.
 Turn the tool on and apply slight pressure on the tool so that it will not bounce around
uncontrolled. Pressing very hard will not increase efficiency.
Excavation using backhoe loader
 The area to be excavated will be properly marked and clear before starting the
works.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 8 of 24
 The depth of excavation will be periodically checked by a surveyor to avoid over-ex-
cavation. The bank of the excavated area will be sloped 30 degrees and will be
maintained to avoid a collapse of the bank into the excavated area.
 All excavated material will be kept a minimum of 1.0 meter from the edge of excava-
tion or will be stockpiled to the area designated by the Engineer.
 For all excavation activities, adequate safety barriers, signboards, advance warning
signs will be used.
 For foundation, as soon as the excavation reaches the required depth/elevation the
surface shall be leveled and shall be compacted to 95 % of maximum dry density or
MDD.
Safety
 All works will comply with safety procedure or instruction as set in out in project
Safety Plan.
 Basic Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) shall be worn by all staff or laborers.
 Trained operator or banks man shall be engaged to control or operate heavy equi-
ment machines.
Backfill and compaction:
Backfilling will be carried out by following the norms as set out hereunder column:
 Backfilling will commence only after completion of inspection and test of below grade
structures is complete.
 Structural fill or backfill placed beneath footings, grade beams, mat foundations, or
any settlement sensitive structures will be compacted to at least 95 percent of the
maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 1557.
 Backfill adjacent to structures and not supporting any footing, grade beams or mat
foundations, shall be compacted and then tested for in-place density in accordance
with ASTM D 1556. The tested density will be at least 90 percent of the maximum dry
density as determined by ASTM D 1557.
 Structural fill or backfill adjacent to structures will be placed in 150 mm (6 in), com-
pacted layers, or less if necessary to develop specified density will be at least 95 per-
cent of the maximum dry density, as determined by ASTM D 1557.
 Backfilling will be done using the approved fill material or select granular material as
per drawings. Each layer will be compacted to a dry density, depending on the area
of working. When granular material is used, it will be compacted to a firm and stable
condition using an appropriate compacting device. Backfill material will conform to
relevant project specifications.
 Backfilling will proceed symmetrically about the structure, whenever possible to do
so.
 The concrete sides will not be backfilled until the specified coatings are applied and
fully cured on the concrete surface.

13/10/20 13/10/20

 The water for the compaction will be added uniformly. If required, the fill material will
be ploughed to uniform water content before compacting. If drying is required, the
same will be done by way of natural drying. In case additional dry material is added
for drying, care will be taken to see that the layer thickness does not exceed that
specified.
6.2 Form work, Reinforcement and Concrete Work Procedure:

Types of Formwork
The timber formwork will be used when limited reuse of formwork is required. As for require-
ment of maximum reuse of formwork, the steel formwork is to be used.
Formwork design:
Both types of formwork is designed to meet the following requirements
 The structure dimensions indicated in the construction drawings.

 Stability of the formwork (both vertically and laterally) in the initial position during or
after concreting.
 The surface finish shall be as per the required type.
 The formwork shall allow proper concrete placement and vibration.
 The formwork shall be well tight to prevent mortar loss.
 The formwork shall withstand the pressure of the fresh concrete and, dead and live
loads as well as restoring loads in multi stories structures.
 The form shall support solidly and in accurate positions, all the embedded items
placed as per construction drawings.
Coating:
 Prior to concreting, the form will be cleaned and any foreign material will be removed.
If necessary, openings will be provided in the formwork for the removal of the foreign
materials.
 Before placing the formwork, it will be coated with the approved release agent. The
properties and coating procedure will conform to project specifications.
Shoring and Propping:
 All shoring and propping requirements will be submitted to client for approval.
Chamfers:

Page 10 of 24
All exterior exposed corners will be chamfered as indicated in the construction drawings.
An outline of the configuration of the system of form work proposed to be used is given here
under.
 It is proposed to use timber formwork for all the works. The main panel of the form
will be made with 18mm laminated ply board. Lesser thickness may be used in the
case of minor items. In any case, the forms will be made to withstand the pressure of
concrete and also such that it is water tight.
 In panels mostly vertical will be stiffened using aluminium and/or timber beams fixed
along the length and width of the planks.
 Steel soldiers may be used to hold the panels together, where the height of the form
is more than 1.5M.
 External corners of the structures above ground level will be formed with 25mm
chamfer.
 Cover blocks made of same concrete mix of parent material will be used for support-
ing of reinforcement rebar with correct cover.
 Stripping of forms will be done very carefully so that no damage is caused to the con-
crete.
 Forms for columns, walls, sides of beams and other vertical forms not supporting the
weight of concrete will be stripped after 48 hours after placing of concrete.
 Forms for beam soffits, slabs, and other parts requiring support will be removed as
per specified standards.
 The quality assurance for formwork will be followed as per approved inspection and
test plan.
Reinforcement:
The reinforcing steel should be conforming to project specification and as per drawings.
Handling and stacking:
 Number and spacing of supports will be such that there is no sagging of the stacked
bars.
 Stacked rebar will be covered with tarpaulins or such other means and protected
from mud, oil or any other thing that causes damage.
 Standards as set out in the project specifications will be adhered to in handling and
storage of reinforcing materials.
 Rebar will be fabricated according to the bar bending schedule
 Each bundle of bars will be tagged to be identified by the design drawing number, the
structure, mark number, bar quantity and size.
Cutting and Bending of Bars:
 The reinforcement will be cut and bent in accordance with the approved bar bending
schedules.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 11 of 24
 The bending of reinforcements will be done on the bending machine, producing a
gradual and even motion. Bars will be bent cold and at specified radii.
Receipt and Storage of Bars:
 The rebar received from the supplier will be inspected. All defective materials will be
repaired or replaced by the supplier.
 The storage of rebar will be arranged above ground on padded supports, using tim-
ber pieces or sand bags. The rebar will be covered with dark light proof material to
prevent rusting.
 Placing of Reinforcement:
 Minimum concrete cover for reinforcement will be as per the Reinforced Concrete
Works General Notes.
 All reinforcement will be supported and fastened before concrete is placed and shall
be secured against displacement within permitted tolerances.
 Reinforcement supported by formwork will rest on bar supports made of plastic or
other acceptable materials.
 All splices will be provided as indicated in the approved for construction drawings.
 Bending or straightening of bars partially embedded in concrete will not be permitted
without prior approval of the Owner.
 RFI will be issued in accordance to site inspection procedure.
 The reinforcement at obstructions or where it clashes with another reinforcement will
not be cut, bent, omitted or modified without prior approval from the client.
 The welding of reinforcement will not be permitted.
Fixing of Reinforcement:
 The reinforcement will be accurately fixed in the required position. The bars intended
to be on contact at passing points will be securely tied together at all such points with
PVC coated tying wire.
 After fixing, the reinforcement will be inspected for type, size, and accuracy of plac-
ing. The areas where the coating will be found to be damaged it will be repaired as
per approved method statement.
 The reinforcement projecting out from work being concreted or already concreted will
not be bent out of its correct position. It will be protected from deformations or other
damages.
 The cover to reinforcement will be maintained by using either plastic spacers or con-
crete blocks.
 Cantilever and top bars over supports will be held in correct position during concret-
ing with the help of rebar chairs placed between top and bottom bars and approved
spacers below the bottom bars.
Quality Control:

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 12 of 24
The reinforcement will be inspected before concreting. It will be ensured that the surface of
reinforcement will be free from mud, oil, retarders, grease or any other substance which
would affect adversely the steel or concrete chemically or reduce the bond. Also it will be en-
sured that it is placed in full accordance to the issued for construction drawings.
Embedded items:
 All the embedded items will be fabricated or procured prior to concreting and fixed in
place using suitable templates.
 The adequacy and positioning will be checked by the supervisor before submitting a
Request for Inspection to the PMT’s (Project Management Team) QC. The QC will
check them in turn before forwarding this request to the QC of the Contractor. This
procedure ensures the right kind of embedded items are in right place and in right
quantities.
 Anchor bolts will be placed plumb well within the tolerances mentioned in project
specifications.
CONCRETING:
Transportation of Concrete:
Out of the available transit mixer trucks, at least one will be kept as stand by. Before the de-
parture of the loaded transit mixer, the delivery ticket will be handed over to the driver.
Delivery of Concrete:
 Before discharging the concrete at the point of delivery, the driver will provide the
Material Engineer or Quality Control Engineer the delivery ticket identifying the mate-
rial for each batch of concrete.
 Concrete Pump: The concrete pump will be of adequate pumping capacity. Wherever
required, the concrete will be pumped through steel pipes.
Deposition of Concrete:
 The concrete will be deposited continuously or in layers of such thickness so that

cold joints are not formed. The concrete, which has partially hardened, will not be de-
posited. Suitable construction joints will be provided to avoid formation of cold joints.
 After placing, the concrete will be consolidated by using mechanical or electrical vi-
brators, which will be operated by competent workmen. Use of vibrators to transport
concrete within the formwork will not be allowed.
Protection of Fresh Concrete:
Unless adequate protection is provided, concrete will not be placed during rain.
Curing of Concrete:

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 13 of 24
 Immediately after placement, concrete will be protected from premature drying and
excessively hot temperatures and will be maintained with minimum moisture loss at
relatively constant temperature for a period necessary for the hydration of the cement
and hardening of the concrete.
The curing of concrete will be carried out by one of the following procedures:
1. Pouring or continuous sprinkling of water.

2. Application of hessian kept continuously wet and covered with white polyethylene
sheet.
3. Application of sand kept continuously wet.
4. Application of waterproof sheet material subject to approval by Client.
5. Application of curing compound subject to approval by Client.
6. The system to be used will depend on the nature of the structure. The above meth-
ods (2) and (5) will be the mostly used.
7. Moisture loss from surfaces placed against wooden forms or steel forms, exposed to
heating by sun, will be minimised by draping forms with wet hessian covered with
white polyethylene until they can be safely removed. After forms are removed, the
concrete will be cured up to the end of prescribed period.
Quality Control:
 The workability of the concrete will be continuously monitored at delivery place be-
fore casting.
 Samples for conducting tests for determining the compressive strength on concrete
will be taken according to the specifications.
 Concreting will be carried out using the approved design mixes and that specified for
the structure. The concrete from approved sources only will be used for all concreting
works.
 All rebar and forms will be cleaned of debris and foreign materials before pouring.
 It will be ensured that the temperature of concrete at the time of placing does not ex-
ceed more than 30° C.
 The concrete pouring will be done within the initial setting time of the cement. For the
purpose of this, the time of batching as marked on the delivery sheet will be consid-
ered.
 During hot weather, reinforcement temperature will be reduced by shading, water
pray before pouring as well as additional crew will be engaged to expedite the finish-
ing etc. However preference for night pouring of concrete will be given.
 The concrete will then be poured into the mould I form after ensuring that it is free of
all foreign materials or debris; the inserts are in place; the re-bars are as per the
drawings and all other QC requirements are complied with.
 The concrete surfaces will be rendered appropriate finish to eliminate all voids and
pits unless specified otherwise in the drawings.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 14 of 24
 The concrete will be laid in layers not exceeding 300mm in thickness; each layer
compacted separately before the next is laid.
 At least two vibrators of needle type will be made available at the site, where one of
them acts as a stand-by.
 In case of mass pouring, the concreting will be done uninterrupted so that cold joints
can be avoided. However, in case of slabs/ paving appropriate pre-approved con-
struction joints will be provided. For the mass concrete pouring, specific method
statement will be submitted.
 Concrete surface will be finished as per specifications within the initial setting time of
concrete. Immediately after finishing surface shall be covered with white polyethylene
sheeting which shall be in contact with concrete surfaces to avoid evaporation of
moisture content from fresh concrete.
 Control joints, if any, will be cut within 12 hours after placing of concrete.
6.3 Structure Work Execution Procedure:

Job Site Planning & Preparation:
 Making sure there is space and firmed pathway for truck delivery, crane truck erection
operation for suitable truck & crane capacity must be clarified.
 Decide the plan for unloading and material storage. Choose a firm and dry location.
Materials shall be stored in designated areas for each building and clearly identified
for their location in that area.
 Making sure that materials supply and storage schedule is appropriate and not conflict
with the installation schedule and other sub-contractors’ schedules.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 15 of 24
 Register the available power & water supply source locations at the site. Making sure
there is a safe method to lead the supply to the working area.
Receiving Of Material at Site:
 All delivery to site will be informed by production manager to the site manager 24 hours
earlier to have plan for unloading.
 A delivery note is always enclosed with the supplied materials to clarify name of pro-
ject, location, type of materials, quantity, date of delivery, etc….
 Unloading can be done manually or with cranes. A spreader will be used for lifting long
components. Lifting nylon or cloth belts with suitable SWL shall be used for unloading
the materials to minimize the damage. Be sure to hook belts to component with the
right no. of points and position so that the load of component itself do not damaged or
broken.
 Always attaching a tag line to the lifting component.
 All materials receipt at site shall be visually inspected by site supervisor for any dam-
age. Remedial works to the damage shall be taken immediately, if possible, to avoid
any delay to erection.
Unloading
 Materials shipped to site are unloaded by crane of worker manually up to the material
properties.
 The average load of trucks carried materials is about 40 ton, this load is also the
safety working load of crane 20 ton. Therefore, the temporary road in the job site
must be prepared properly for crane and trucks working.
Material arrangement
To avoid materials being moved so much on jobsite that might cause unexpected damages
of paint, shapes, when material delivered to job site, they must be unloaded and arranged
closed to the designed erection point. Up to the materials will be stacked in locations accord-
ing to the building/areas, should be near to the lifting position adjacent to the area to be
erected. This is to facilitate the sorting and delivery during the erection.
The conditions of each job site, the material arrangement plan may different but in generally,
materials will be arranges as following principle to ease moving, combination and erection
after later.
 Members should be checked park mark as packing list enclosed before unloading for
best unloaded positions.
 Columns should be arranged closed to their anchor bolt position.
 Rafter members should be arranged to ensure easy assembly, movement.

13/10/20 13/10/20
Page 16 of 24
 Girts, purlins, eave struts and bracing are divided according to the requirements of
each bay.
 Nested parts (purlins, girts etc.) should be separated and blocked to allow drainage
of collected moisture to prevent rusting, prior to erection.
 Small components (nuts, bolts, clips, fasteners etc.) are stored in a given area con-
venient to all parts of the building.
 Corrugated Roof Sheets and other components which will not be used in the initial
stage of erecting the steel, are placed to the outside of the work area and properly
stored and protected from the weather.
Main frame erection

7. Supervision Arrangements
The supervision arrangement for these works is explained by Figure 1. At the front line there
will be the scaffolders, safety and survey staff all involved in preparation works, for the pur-
poses of this method statement they will be referred to as tier 4 staff. Their managers in the
tier above will be tasked with managing and overseeing their work. The site manager will have
direct links to the tier 3 managing staff. The Construction Manager will then co-ordinate with
the site manager regarding the works required for the construction of the works.
