1. INTRODUCTION
This method statement describes the details and sequence for the pre-drilling works.

In general 4nos. of pre-drilling borehole will be carried out by using drilling rig.

Pre-drilling layout plan shall refer to drawings attached in Appendix A.

2. MONITORING CHECK POINTS INSTALLATION

2.1 Working Procedures

I. Before commencement of pre-drilling works, monitoring check points shall

be installed around the site.

III. Setting out of pre-drilling borehole shall be marked on site for inspection.

2.2 Working Procedures

Step 1: Setting out for predrilling borehole and the coordinates are listed below:

Borehole No. E N
PD1 838480.503 816906.112
PD2 838487.595 816908.147
PD3 838481.129 816897.212
PD4 838490.956 816899.394

Step 2: Drilling to proposed bottom level with temporary casing. The drilling
depth can be controlled by counting numbers of drilling rod used
during the drilling process. Maximum depth shall be 40m below
ground level.

Method Statement for Pre-drilling Works BD Ref.: 3/3022/19

Step 3: For pre-drill holes inside 10m zone of MTRC tunnel (ie. PD3 & PD4),
verticality of pre-drill holes shall be monitored by inclinometer
(method statement refer APPENDIX D). The maximum deviation
from vertical of channel planking in any direction shall be less than 1 to
100.

Step 4: After completion of pre-drilling works, all borehole shall be backfilled

properly.

2.3 Monitoring Check Points around the Site

During pre-drilling works, monitoring check points shall be installed and

readings should be taken according approval drawing attached in Appendix B.

3. HEALTH AND SAFETY

3.1 Manpower
- All Personnel will complete the Construction Industry Safety Training
Certificate (Green Card).
- All workers will undergo a safety induction course before the
commencement of works on site.
- Pre-work briefing will be provided before commencement of work.
- The appropriate PPE shall be worn.
- All workers working at height are to be equipped with full-body type safety
harness with suitable lanyards and secure anchorage for the attachment of
safety harnesses.

3.2 Equipment
- The emergency contact list will be displayed near the gate.
- The protection barrier will be provided during the works.
- An effective ventilation system shall be provided to keep the air quality in
the working area at an acceptable level.
- All lifting gear including lifting clamp should be tested and thoroughly
examinated by RPE.
- All machine, equipment and lifting gear shall be checked by site safety
team.
- The design of lifting eye should be certified by Independent Checking
Engineer.
- Spare lifting gears shall be provided to prevent inappropriate equipment
were used.

3.3 Safe Lifting Procedures

- Rigger or Signalman should be fenced off the lifting area and make sure no
one stay inside the lifting zone prior to lifting commence.
- The Plant operator should verify the instruction on lifting operation before
taking action.
- Lifting Clamp or Lifting Eye should be used to lifting circular hollow and
steel reinforcement.
- The Rigger or Signalman should keep well communication with the plant
operator by using walkie-talkie and signal.

Nos. 383-385 King’s Road, North Point, HK

Method Statement for Pre-drilling Works BD Ref.: 3/3022/19

- During lifting, in order to prevent the swing of the object, a 3-4m long
tagline shall be attached to the lifting object and controlled by Rigger or
Signalman.
- Prior to lifting operation, the balance conditions shall be checked at about
0.5m above ground.
- Rigger or Signalman must stop the work if any abnormal operation is
observed. Material storage zone should be set up and fenced off. During
lifting operation, only Rigger or Signalman stays inside the storage zone to
help processing lifting.
- A color coding system shall be adopted on all lifting gears such as wire
ropes and slings, etc. The color system is Blue (Jan – Mar), Yellow (Apr –
Jun), Green (Jul – Sep) and Orange (Oct – Dec).

4. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
- Sump pit will be set up for each drilling machine to collect the fluid to
pump to settlement tanks prior to discharging to the drainage system for
the standpipe installation.
- All cement bags and grout bags will be placed in the disposal bin on
site.
- Emission generated by mechanical plant shall be monitored and
controlled.

Auto & manual reading options
been designed and tested with weight up to 40 kg to ensure their
long-term stability. Android-based operating system
To ensure data is not compromised by electro-magnetic Probes and reels are interchangeable
interference and thus become inaccurate, even on noisy sites, the
system has been designed and fitted with full 360 degree EMC Bluetooth connection - auto mating of device & reel
protection within the probe, cable and reel and is fully tested in
