 Material handling and delivery on site

Materials will be delivered and received in the lay down area store room, in secured
and controlled room, or temporary lay down area at site. For the ready mix concrete
it will be deliver on site by transit mixer and it will be poured using a concrete pump.

Site Planning and Preparation

Encroachment permit will be obtained first before starting any activity in the site. Once the
area is determined and granted, barricading and safety poles will establish in the perimeter of
the work area to prevent and protect the public from entering the worksite. Since there will be
heavy equipment activities inside, the area will be barricaded and fenced from direct public
view. Once the construction activities start (Excavation & Concrete Works), this isolation
method will be strongly employed throughout the duration of the project to prevent hazard to
the public.

Work Methodology

1) Access Road
 An access road will be provided for utility vehicle and heavy transportation for site
construction and a site laydown for storing the delivered materials required for the
project.
 Install hard and soft barricades with rope line and warning tape around the work site.
 To control the dust in access road, the road will be compacted and paved with gravel
or regular spraying of water will be provided.
 There will be one way traffic in operation to access road, with a signed speed limit of
20kmph.

2) Installation of Traffic Sign and Warning Sign

 Traffic sign and warning sign will be established in all the required area which will be
written in Arabic and English.
 Traffic signs will be installed at approaches to site and on site, parking areas and
elsewhere as needed to direct construction and affected public traffic.
 Flag person shall be provided to regulate traffic when construction operations or
traffic encroach on public traffic lanes.

3) Installation of Hard barricade and Safety Pole

 Barricade and safety pole will be installed around the work site to keep public away
from moving equipment during construction activities, cautionary signboards in
Arabic and English languages will be posted along work site.
 Hard Barricades will be installed along the road highway with early warning devices
and traffic signs in Arabic and English languages.
 Barricade or rope line for safety for separation of machine/ heavy equipment from the
workers during the demolition and excavation

 Provide hard barricading and roping line and warning sign near the slope of
demolished existing structure and excavated area, to aware the operator its limit and
to the worker/personnel on site. And install reverse stopper to prevent the vehicle
overrunning the edge of excavation

4) Layout, Excavation, Slope protection and Backfilling

 Staking and layout the area to be excavated including the clearance for the slope
according to the deep of the excavation.
 Slopes of excavation shall be cut at the angle of repose for the soil conditions. A
benching system for slope protection shall be made for added stability and protected
with geotextile material for protection against erosion.
 All spoil material excavated will be kept a distance away from the edge equal to the
depth of the excavation.
 During excavation maintain the minimum distance from the slope of existing structure
at least 2 meter from moving equipment. Barricades and warning signs shall be
identified at the excavation.
 Stakes, control survey points, and benchmarks shall be establish and maintained
during construction activities.
 Provide adequate sheeting, bracing, shoring and other support to the sides and ends
of all excavation to maintain the safety of all workers and to prevent the occurrence
of falls or runs from any portion of the ground outside the excavation or settlement
from previously constructed structures adjacent to the excavation.
 The bottom of the excavation shall be keep free from over saturation. In no case
shall the soil be scrapped and dug by equipment near to the bedding formation level
as the result of the disturbance of the material below.
 No filling materials shall be placed until all the concrete placement and construction
are completed below the elevation of finished grades.
 The surface of the subsoil to receive filling shall be cleaned and prepared as
specified. All formworks, trash and debris shall be removed from the excavation.
 The area is free of standing or running water and has been accepted by the Royal
Commission.

5) Dewatering System
 As the bottom of wall foundation is probably lower than water table level, therefore
dewatering system is required and it is considering as an important part of the entire
execution. A well-point dewatering system will be installed as the primary means of
dewatering. A sump pit will also be made below the working elevation. The water
contained in the sump pit will be pumped out by operation of submersible pumps at
the bottom of pit. The outlet of the pump will flow towards within the vicinity where
location will be determined prior to planning.

6) Demolition of Damaged Wing wall, Bottom slab and Disposal of removed materials.

and rubble likely to be dislodged from the vehicles during visit.
 Load the trucks in a manner that prevents the dropping of soil and debris on the
streets. This includes securing and covering transport equipment and loose materials
to ensure that dust is not generated during transit.
 Flagman/Banks man is the one directing the operation of the heavy equipment on the
site. Clear visibility and direct eye contact must be maintained between operator and
banks man at all times.

7) Installation of Formwork
 Fabrication of steel mould as per attached drawing.
 Preparation of steel mould for concrete pouring and for construction mock-up
sample.

 Formwork will be installed as per attached drawing.

8) Concrete Works and Coating

 All concrete for replacement shall be Class 35 with Type I cement and silica fume.
 Prior to concrete pouring, compact the base and conduct compaction test and install
moisture protection for the foundation structures.
 Installation of shuttering for the Bottom slab, Wing wall, and Head Wall as per work
schedule will proceed. Concrete pouring will start after Hold Point release is
approved during inspection by the RC Field Engineer.
 Pour concrete using concrete pump, conduct slump test and temperature in each
transit mixer.
 Polyethylene will be installed to cover the finish concrete work. Burlap will be
installed as long as the new poured concrete surface is hard enough to protect from
being damage.
 Remove the shuttering and reinstalled again the curing material by applying two (2)
layers of burlap and cover it with polyethylene sheet and keep the surface wet
continuously by spraying water.
