1.1.3 The core points of the project
For successful execution of the project, the Contractor has selected several core points for construction
management and had them considered in developing this program.
Following works are those items that the Contractor has identified in need of much care as much as the
major tasks mentioned above. Special care for these works will be made:
The CP N-05 Project site consists of vast large size of area approximately 33ha and the Dolores River
flows from the north to south way dividing the depot site into east and west, and totally, 48 nos buildings,
14 nos roads, and 33 nos track yard, surrounded retaining wall and fences are to be constructed ensuring the
Key-dates and completion date within 48 months from the commencement date.
Earthworks are very important construction work to carry out the CP N-05 Project, especially to maintain
the balance of cut and fill quantities and to secure efficient transportation routes. But the divided land with
the west and east sides has different earthworks quantities such as cut and fill works and there are no
transportation routes to moving the cut and fill materials to each side.
To handle such vast large size earthworks and a number of product construction problem, special
consideration will be made to reasonably allocate resources such as machine and work crews between two
separate sites apart to complete construction in time and budget
Below items are core points of construction scheme from the contractor’s considerations.
Following works are those items that the Contractor has identified in need of much care as much as the
major tasks mentioned above. Special care for these works will be made:
• Early possession of Depot site and obtain all necessary Licenses and Permits, including tree cutting,
demolition permission to speedy start construction works is necessary.
• Detailed and precise field survey prior to the construction
• To deducing the most efficient and speedy construction methods of various type of drainage
structures
• Early start of pre-constructions such as access road and construction facilities
• Key persons’ mobilization and subcontractors' selection will be completed prior to construction
commencement
• Promptly construction of Dolores River bridges to carry excavation material from the west side of
Depot to the east side of Depot embankment.
• During the earthworks (cut and fill), when the design elevation of various types of drainage,
plumbing, and sanitary works are reached, they will be buried construction.
• Bored piles and pc piles driving for long-term construction, such as workshop and OCC building,
begin as soon as possible after the earthwork is completed at the designed construction site.
• Civil construction, such as piles and foundations, must be done very quickly and hard to ensure that
building construction and electrical installation work is not delayed, on the other hand, non-critical
Malolos – Clark Railway Project
Package CP N–05 –Depot Building and Civil Works

items during the whole construction period, such as inner roads around buildings, retaining wall and
fences and handrail around depot boundaries, will be constructed separately at the time of work.
• Dolores river protection works must be constructed at the dry season for the vertical degree
management both of the retaining wall and integral bridges of GRS
• Interface/coordination with other contractors during construction such as Builders’ works and E&M
• Due to the large amount of work to be done, the work to be buried in the ground, such as Sanitary
and Plumbing and drainage, which can only be performed in various areas, must be very delicate.
• Effective construction planning is required to comply with the key date.

1.1.4 Project execution strategy

The CP N-05 project consists of multidisciplinary works such as earthwork, road work, drainage work, 48
number of building, electrical and mechanical work. As most of them are constrained with each other, the
Contractor will perform these multidisciplinary works simultaneously so as to reduce the construction
period as much as we can.

The contractor was able to calculate the approximate earthwork volume by performing three-dimensional
modelling using the reference AutoCAD file data provided by the client to construct Depot's earthwork
more accurately and efficiently.
The figure above shows an image obtained by performing 3D modelling, and the contractor can confirm the
fill and cut the area more accurately through the picture.
The Contractor has had the project area divided into six zones as below for effective construction
management and control by considering terrain.

TABLE 1.1 Major Product Description of Project Zone
Malolos – Clark Railway Project
Package CP N–05 –Depot Building and Civil Works

The above areas were established with the contractor's consideration to effectively carry out the earthwork
and Building construction work of the project. Each zone is composed of major construction objects and
planned to effectively explain the overall flow of the project.
• ZONE A is used as an access road in the early stage of construction of depot for tree cutting,
demolition, and earthworks. And it is used as a transportation route for construction materials and
equipment such as concrete, bored pile, pc pile, gravel bag, and fence, until the project completion
date.
• When the contractor reviewing the project's design and Google map, ZONE B has more cut
quantity than other zones. Also, it is an area that includes a workshop building that is expected to
have the longest construction period in the building construction process. Therefore, the contractor
will cut the earthwork of ZONE B as soon as possible and carry it to other areas to perform
drainage, plumbing and sanitary works that must be buried in the ground.
Beside, once the excavation work has been completed up to the designed elevation, the contractor
will begin to work on the bored pile to begin the workshop construction early.
• Zone C was determined to be a rather flat area with less cutting and fill than Zone A. Like Zone B,
it is also bordered by Zone D. Light repair shops and substation are designed.
To approach Zone C, Zone B must be constructed first. Therefore, some of the earthwork work
tanks of Zone B were planned to quickly approach ZONE C and carry out earthworks work by
opening temporary roads.
• ZONE D is an area in which the Dolores river flows, which divides the Depot site from side to
side. The integral bridge and the retaining wall of the GRS are designed. The contractor established
a plan for the construction of some zones of zone D first so that the zones A, B, ZONE E, and F of
the depot site can carry out earthworks and other constructions on the depot site. Besides, the
construction schedule was adjusted by installing in the dry season to manage the verticality of the
integral bridge and retaining wall of GRS.
• ZONE E is an area where important buildings such as ballasted track, OOC, and Detention basin-1
are designed. In order to access ZONE E, some integral bridges of ZONE D must be pre-installed
or earthworks of ZONE F must be pre-installed AND Is in the middle position possible. In order to
quickly approach ZONE E, the plan to utilize some pre-integrated integral bridge of ZONE D will
be delayed in time since the construction of ZONE D will proceed after the construction of ZONE
B. Plan to approach ZONE E is established first.
• ZONE F is an area where buildings such as ballasted track, Detention basin-2, and Training center
are designed and can be accessed by constructing ZONE G (Road 13), which is used as an access
road like ZONE B. ZONE F is an area that needs to be filled in general, unlike ZONE B. The
contractor first constructs ZONE G to secure temporary roads.
We have a plan to embankment ZONE F. In addition, because ZONE F provides access to ZONE
E, some earthworks will plan to construct temporary roads for quick access to ZONE F.
• ZONE G, like ZONE A, is the only road on the Depot west side that can be accessed inside Depot.
The contractor plans to install ZONE G first for quick access to ZONE F. Contractor will also
transport selected to Borrow materials through Prince Balagtas Ave., which is connected to ZONE
G.
The contractor believes that early access road work and earthwork, which is very important in the depot
construction phase, can be explained to some extent through the above zoning plan.
Malolos – Clark Railway Project
Package CP N–05 –Depot Building and Civil Works

The construction plan for each type of construction will be explained in detail in Chapter 3, based on the
zoning plan described above.
1.1.5 Construction management program
The contractor plans to use PPMS
(Proactive Project Management
System), the world's first
construction project management
platform, for the CP N05 Project to
manage a large area, various types
of construction, and 48 building
constructions.
PPMS is a unique system by
visualization of GIS for construction
management.
If the contractor can get a drone
flight permit for the entire depot
area, FIGURE 1.5 Frame of PPMS
The contractor will photograph the entire Depot site every day using a drone during the construction period,
and model the 3D terrain once a week to check and review the earthwork volume of the construction work
and update the work plan for the remaining construction period.

1.1.6 Overall Construction flow
CP N-05 Project is a quite complicated project with numerous works required to be completed. Hence, it is
not easy to capture the whole work process of the project in just a brief explanation.
To enhance our understanding of this project, the Contractor tried to examine the overall project structure
from three points of view while deciding construction methods most suitable for this project.
Malolos – Clark Railway Project
Package CP N–05 –Depot Building and Civil Works

First, the contractor will focus on acquiring the relevant licenses and acquisition of the DEPOT site to
access the entire DEPOT site quickly. At the same time, the casting yard site proposed by the employer will
be installed with temporary facilities needed during construction, such as temporary offices and batch
plants. Road 11 on the west side of the Depot and road 13 on the east side will be used as the main
transport routes to quickly tree cutting and grubbing for the Depot site on both sides.

Second, After the depot site tree cutting, clearing and grubbing, and demolition are completed, the
contractor will cut the ZONE B soil and transport it to ZONE C and ZONE E for the embankment. At the
same time, the integral bridge of zone D will be divided construct so that the soil can be transported
efficiently during the construction period.
While the integral bridge designed on the right side of the workshop was constructed first, the grounds cut
in zone B will be transported and embanked to ZONE E across the Dolores river on the right side of ZONE
C. After the construction of the integral bridge designed on the right side of the workshop is completed, the
integral bridge on the right side of zone c will be constructed, and the soil transfer at this time will proceed
over the integral bridge of zone D.

Third, After completion of the integral bridge across the depot, upstream and downstream waterway will be
constructed. Drainage, plumbing, and sanitary works will be built in the area that reaches the designed
elevation while earthwork in the depot site is continuously being constructed.
As soon as the site on which the buildings will be constructed is cleared, the pile and foundation work will
begin, and the building structure work will proceed. The individual buildings will be undergoing various
architectural works and electrical and facility construction. During each particular building, roads and
ballasts track will be constructed on unobstructed sections. Retaining walls, fences, and handrails that
surround the depot will be built as soon as the working team has time.
1.1.7 Key Date
The date of contract award has been assumed as 1 February 2020 in POSCO E&C’s programme. POSCO

1.2 PROJECT MAJOR FEATURES

1.2.1 General : Topography, existing status
Depot size is planned to be approximately 1185m wide by 292m long except for road ten10 and road 13.
Inside the depot, the Dolores River, located on the western side of the depot, runs from south to north,
consisting of mango plantations and mango forests. There is no separate road inside the depot now, and
only way 10 designed to the west and road 13 designed to the east substation entrance is intended to be the
only access roads.
It was impossible to enter the inside of Depot at the site survey, so it was possible to access only near road
10 and road 13. The level of the Dolores River has checked by a nearby Subic-Clark- Tarlac Expressway
bridge, and it confirmed that almost no water flowed through the Dolores River during the dry season. The
contractor planned to concentrate on the dry season to minimize the river diversion when constructing the
Integral bridge of the Dolores River section.
The below figures show the topography and existing status of Depot.

2 GENERAL STATEMENTS

2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 General statement
In this chapter, the Contractor will describe the methodology and approach of the each discipline included
in Package CP N-05 construction as below.
This construction methodology and approach statement consists of an Introduction Part which describes the
composition and content of overall method, site conditions, organization structure as well as hypothetical
situations.
This is followed by the Preparation Part which entails tasks carried out prior to the actual construction, such
as surveying, geotechnical investigations, temporary construction facilities, and selection of construction
materials. Lastly, the Construction Part describes each construction method and type that will be executed
in this project.
2.1.2 Assumptions and Requirements
Many different factors that may affect the project, such as duration, cost, and quality observance have been
reviewed to ensure the successful performance of the CP N-05 Project goal and deadline.
A working schedule, useful equipment, and organization of work crews for the project have been
considered taking into account the general concept of the construction method .
Overall, the project schedule is very tight. Notably, the earthwork, drainage works, road, bored pile, and
Integral bridge and retaining wall of the GRS structure are some of the most critical items where the most
time can be saved.
Malolos – Clark Railway Project
Package CP N–05 –Depot Building and Civil Works

To comply with the entire construction period and key dates, the contractor was concerned about carrying
out the construction using a separate complementary device in case of rain in the rainy season. The
construction method for the rainy season will be described in each part of method statement.
Also, to establish a reasonable construction plan, the feasibility of constructability was reflected by
comparing the constructability in Korea with that in the Philippines.

1.2 PREPARATION WORKS

2.2.1 General
2.2.1.1 Permission and license
It is very important that pre-construction works get started on time. Since the time given for Package CP N-
05 is tight to complete all the required works, the Contractor is planning to start pre-construction works as
early as possible.
Many times it is not easy to obtain a permit from a responsible authority to execute a project, especially
when it is a government agency. Therefore, the Contractor will focus on accurately collecting and preparing
required documents to obtain a permit from a relative authority by assigning a person to the task of
obtaining permit approval.
The Contractor will reflect details of the relative agencies and timeline for permission/approvals in the
construction plan so that the project will not be affected by such matters.
The Contractor will make all necessary arrangements with and obtain all the required approvals from
Government departments, utility agencies, and other relevant/competent authorities.
Below are the Government Authorities and agencies that contractors need to engage in to obtain permission
• DOTr / PNR / Northrail / DPWH / Local Government Units (LGUs) / Utility agencies / DENR
DOLE / Emergency Services
2.2.1.2 Site investigation and survey
A site investigation and survey will be carried out to have a better understanding of the site conditions and
to establish a construction plan that takes into account of the site characteristics.
The Contractor shall carry out topographical surveys in compliance with the specification of the Contract
Document. The survey work to be performed by the Contractor is as follows:
• Topographical survey
• Cross section survey
• Level survey
After finishing all survey works, the Contractor will prepare survey drawings to be used as a source for As-
Build Drawings. In addition, the original digitalized survey data will be included in the As-Build
Drawings.
The survey drawings will be provided with a numbering system and preparation dates. The co-ordinates
and elevations of all primary control monuments, secondary control points and existing National Datum
Benchmarks within the survey limits will be shown on the drawings.

2.2.1.3 Mobilization of key Persons & Equipement

Malolos – Clark Railway Project
