X. METHOD STATEMENT

Construction Methodology

1. PROCEDURE :

1.1. The office will be situated within a secure site boundary made up of Hoarding
fencing, to enclose the working areas / exclusion zones within the site.

1.2. Warning signs (as described below) will be displayed at the appropriate
points around the perimeter of the site:

 Danger Demolition in Progress

 Danger Demolition Keep Out

 Personal Protective Equipment requirements

 Warning to Children

1.3. All visitors to our site will be asked to sign in within the site office. They will
be inducted into the activities being carried out that day and at all times
whilst they are on site they will wear the required PPE and they will also be
escorted by a member of HFC staff.
1.4. CABLE STRIPPING

Any electrical cabling will be removed for recycling prior to soft stripping
and the demolition of the structure.

No cable-stripping work will commence until the electrical supplies to

the site have been irreversibly isolated either to the main distribution
board by the local electricity supply company or from the main
distribution board by a suitably qualified electrician. In either case an
isolation certificate will be required and will be displayed within the site
office.

Demolition operatives using hand tools will cut into manageable

sections all exposed electrical cabling and any which are easily
extracted but which are not exposed. Large diameter electrical cabling
is heavy; therefore, it may be necessary to cut cabling into lengths of
no more than 2 or 3 metres prior to moving it for further processing.
when handling cut sections of cable to minimize the risks associated
with manual handling.

Cabling in trays or otherwise present above floor level will be accessed

using a scissor lift. An exclusion zone will be created beneath the cable
being cut-down using barrier tape to avoid the potential for anyone
below the cable to be struck as it is allowed to fall to the floor.
Consideration must be given to the possibility of a free end “whipping
“due to self-weight.

Any circular saws used must be inspected daily and used only by

trained operatives. The use of hand operated, hydraulic cable shears is

preferred.

The removal of cable insulation and armour is to be undertaken using a

purpose-built machine. Such machines have a number of safety
features such as guards and remote emergency stops. All safety
 features are to be checked on a daily basis. None of the guards or
other safety features are to be defeated or over-ridden.

As with all machinery, long hair and loose clothing are to be securely
tied-back to reduce the risk of the operator becoming entangled in the
equipment.

All waste generated by the cable-stripping is to be disposed of

appropriately, i.e: sheathing is to be placed in a general waste
skip.Under no circumstances is the sheathing to any cabling to be
removed by burning.

1.5. SOFT STRIPPING

An internal soft strip of the office will be carried out by demolition

operatives to remove as much of the waste materials from the building
ahead of the demolition works.

Materials that are to be removed by the internal soft strip can include
doors, door frames, fixed and non fixed furniture, carpets and floor
coverings and other materials.

Operatives will strip out all doors, frames, windows, timber of any
description, (not appertaining to roof or main structure) toilets, pipe
work, ducting, electrical items and any debris.

Any clean, unpainted constructional timber will be segregated from the

general waste. Where this material is free of nails, screws, hinges etc it
will be segregated for recycling by a specialist company. Any materials
deemed as not suitable for recycling will be removed from site in skips
as controlled waste to an appropriately licensed landfill site.

Where possible the materials will be loaded by hand method into skips
and removed from the site. Where access for skips is not available the
materials will be segregated and stored within the building where they
will be removed at a later stage.
 Once access for skips is available the materials will be loaded into the
skips by use of the excavator and by hand method.

At no times shall operatives gain access to partially demolished or

unsafe buildings to recover soft stripped materials, these materials will
be removed by mechanical means and when safe to do so by hand
method.

All soft stripped materials will be processed and segregated into

individual waste/recycling streams. All materials deemed suitable for

recycling will be loaded into suitable skips and transferred from the site
to a suitable recycling venue.

All waste materials unsuitable for recycling will be transported from the
site where it will be taken to landfill facilities.

1.6. WORKING AT HEIGHT GENERALLY

Working at height will be restricted to a minimum, A – frames ladders will be

utilised and it will be utilised minimum as a short-term access platform.

1.7. PREVENTION OF POLLUTANTS ENTERING SURFACE WATER

COURSE

Prior to the removal of the roof structure it is proposed to pack with

straw All drainage/ surface water gullies surrounding the perimeter of
the structure.

1.8. All jobs are carried out at site and designated sub-contractor will carry
out all dismantling works for the office.

1.9. Parking shed and Office cabin removal are controlled by Project
Engineer with supervisor and charge hand.

1.10. Demobilization will be carried out based on approved shop drawings.

 1.11. Before starting the office dismantling works, all the electrical
connections will be disconnected by the designated electrician.

1.12. Mobile crane shall be used for the Loading and Dismantling works.

1.13. Lifting plan will be submitted prior to commencement of lifting on site.

1.14. All the removal jobs (cabin parts) shall be done at site by designated
sub-contractor.

2. Office Dismantling and Loading
