Contractor shall take all the necessary measures as to preserve the platform in good
conditions, and if it's required, water tanker will be used during the dry station, to prevent
excessive dust in the work area.

The Contractor will have the responsibility and the obligation to provide all the required signals
and safety mechanisms (signs, beacons, safety cones, danger stripes, personnel, among
others) in accordance with the project HSEC standards when works are performed on the
installation platform, haul roads, mining access roads or any pipe installation platform so as to
prevent accidents and since the platforms will usually be shared with third parties for the
execution of other works.

5.5.1 Clearing and levelling (platforms in natural ground)

Clearing and grading apply to the installation on natural ground, where soil movement shall be
necessary, to open the installation platform.

The Contractor shall remove all trees, trunks, roots, stones and other debris on the clearing
area, and shall carry them into a dump authorized area, according to Company's instructions.

Before commencing with the ground levelling, the Contractor shall submit a procedure, a
method statement and a risk assessment for these activities, for Company's approval.

In areas of rock it shall be necessary to identify whether the substrate material is:

 Weathered and therefore rippable by conventional techniques, or

 Shall require alternative construction methods to remove the rocks such as blasting prior
to removal.

Also the control and management of water runoff in the working area shall be under
Contractor's responsibility and at his sole cost. Runoff management shall be performed in
order to avoid sedimentation of surrounding water courses.

The topsoil stripping will remove the totality of the existing topsoil or until 300mm. The topsoil
piles will be aligned along the lower edge of the platform in piles not higher than 1.50 m,
protected from runoff with silt fences or similar barriers. No equipment or vehicles are allowed
to transit over the topsoil piles. Gaps between topsoil piles will be defined where required for
transit. No material other than topsoil could be dump over the topsoil piles.

The Contractor shall level the installation platform after the stripping of the topsoil in such a
way that the pipeline work can be carried out. Temporal erosion control devices shall be
installed, such as: silt fences, slope breakers, runoff channels, slope coverage, soil bags, geo-
mesh, etc., in order to maintain the stability of the platforms and avoid erosion and
sedimentation of water courses.

The Contractor shall limit levelling of the construction zone, to the minimum required for the
pipeline assembling and shall not exceed the width of the easement provided without written
authorization of the Company.

All temporal access required and which will not been left for maintenance process according to
Company's instructions, will be reinstated to their original condition as soon as the pipeline
installation is completed. Therefore, all topsoil as native soils shall be properly segregated and
handled during access road construction.

be visually inspected and if necessary, cleaned inside as directed by the Company. Water
used for pipe cleaning will be disposed as state by the Company and only after the inspection
and authorization of the Company.

Whenever internal contamination of the pipe is possible, pipe caps of a type approved by the
Company shall be installed at each open end of all pipe sections to prevent dirt, water,
animals and any other foreign substances from entering the pipe. These caps shall remain in
place until just before the pipe is assembled and welded. Installation and removal of these
caps shall be done in a manner that does no damage to the pipe.

Contractor shall be fully responsible for the proper handling and storage of the pipe.

 The pipe shall be installed, mainly over the platform, and housed inside the earthen berm,
according typical drawings 2172-5550-P-002 and 2172-5550-P-003.

For installations on existing access roads, the pipe shall always be protected within the berm,
according to drawing 2172-5550-P-003.

When two water pipeline systems are to be installed in the same access road, the two pipes
will be hosted within the berm, considering a minimum clearance distance between its centres
of 1meter (see drawing 2172-5550-P-002).

Water systems will be installed on the opposite side of the channel, when this exists, unless
design drawings indicates otherwise, in which case Contractor shall verify the pipeline
installation position at field and according to Company approval.

The material coming from the berm, will be temporarily stockpiled over the platform, when the
width of the road can allow the regular traffic circulation, otherwise material shall be removed
to specific areas, out of the platform, to allow the vehicular circulation.

Water pipes will be signposted, according instructions on typical drawing 2172-5550-P-003.

For pipe assembly on natural ground, pipeline installation shall comply with typical drawing
2172-5550-P-002.

Same installation conditions will be used for the pipe protection, sheltered within the berm, and
considering the pipe location at the cutting side of the platform as it is shown on the typical
drawing.

As additional considerations, in natural ground installation, where the longitudinal slope of the
installation platform will be greater or equal than 15%, or in natural water courses, low water
crossings shall be constructed as to drain the water through this structure up to the stone
lining that will draw out the water of the platform. The distance between low water crossings is
indicated in the typical drawing.

Special crossings, includes also special installation, which refers to crossings on roads,
channels and swamp areas. For further details, see item 7.2.

5.11 Pipe cold bends (field)

The radius of bends shall be, as per AWWA M55. See Table N° 6.1.

with AWWA M55 – PE Pipe Design and Installation, but considering instructions for testing
outside the trench.

Tests shall be performed, according instructions on specification 2172-5550-TS-0526B-2.

5.13 Reinstatement activities

Reinstatement activities shall apply to all natural ground area, affected by the Contractor,
which will be used by him during the construction process, as stockpiles, temporal yards,
installation platform, extra work spaces, and temporary dump areas for the excavated
material, among others. Do not apply to those installation platform sections, where Company
appointed as maintenance roads.

Prior to the reinstatement activities, Contractor shall prepare procedures and method
statements for reinstatement activities based on the requirements of the Company, unless for.

Special attention shall be given to the erosion control activities.

If Contractor attempts to perform clean-up operations during adverse weather conditions,

Contractor shall assume full risk of acceptance. Contractor may be required to perform clean-
up again to meet the required standard of normal weather clean-up. Top soil shall not be
replaced during rainy weather.

Reinstatement of the original condition of the surface shall also be understood to include
reinstatement of the original landscape and composition of the soil. It may therefore be
necessary for the Contractor at his own expense to deposit additional topsoil on the platform.
After the topsoil has been spread back over the right of way any stones or rocks with a
diameter larger than 63 mm shall be removed and hauled away.

The various excavated soil layers shall be stored separately and reinstated as they were
originally found. All mixing and contamination shall be avoided.

In sections where terrain and soil conditions are such that pipeline construction has caused a
disturbance to the natural flow of water which may result in platform being washed away, the
Contractor shall take the appropriate measures to prevent such washing away.

The Contractor shall take appropriate measures to ensure the natural flow of water is not
disturbed and does not encroach upon the reinstated pipeline trench.

5.14 Fittings

Contractor shall install and test all fittings within his scope of work, as it is shown on the
