Project Construction Methodology

8- MEP AND CIVIL INTERFACE – GRAPHICAL

For better project monitoring and control it's very necessary to prepare the detailed program.

To prepare the construction program without detailed MEP activity is not a good practice

because lots of or we can say all civil finishing activities are directly related to MEP activities.

For example, without completing the high-level piping & equipment installation civil contractor

can't start their false ceiling work.

By the help of MEP and civil interface chart planning engineer can prepare the detailed

integrated construction program in the initial stage for easy monitoring and controlling the

project. Each service has separate chart and in the graphical mode for easy understanding.

This covers all MEP activity linked with the other civil activities, their relationship and their

sequences in an engineering detailed manner. By the help of this activity relationship, we

can prepare more realistic construction program and track progress easily.

The MEP and civil interface chart have been made after several discussions with HEE

Professional staff and the MEP sub-contractors.

10- MEP ACTIVITY PRODUCTION RATE


The production rate should be the planned average daily production rate based on available resource and the
environment within which the work will be performed. The production rate includes not only the productive time
associated with a particular activity but also idle and non-productive time associated with the movement and setup
of equipment, break times, expected equipment downtime for maintenance and repair, and other expected
downtime. When estimating a production rate, resource availability and other factors affecting productive need to
be considered.

This section covers the manpower requirement to complete each activity and the time required to complete. This
production rate has been prepared by MEP Planning Engineer after detailed discussion with professional MEP
contractors. This will help Planning Engineer to calculate the activity durations in a professional manner.

The production rate given in this section, on the other hand, is not a constant and can be affected by a number of
factors both within and beyond the contractor's control

Project Construction Methodology

Maximum Particle Size Pipe Diameter Maximum Gravel or Stone Size


More than 600mm 25 mm

3.1 Use of Native Soils:


Where native soil is used as pipe zone backfill, the following restrictions apply.
• No rocks greater than maximum gravel size
• No soil clumps greater than 2 times the maximum gravel size.
• No organic material.
• No debris (tires, bottles, metals, etc.).
• Clean sand is used for bedding and backfilling.
• When gravel or crushed stone is used as backfill, immediate backfilling after joining is
desirable, as it will prevent two serious hazards, floating of pipe and thermal movements.
• Floating of pipe can damage the pipe and create unnecessary reinstallation costs. This may
not be the case in this project as the water table is not encountered.
• Thermal movement caused by exposure to the elements can cause the loss of seal due to
movement of several lengths acting on one joint.
• Proper selection, placement, and compaction of pipe zone backfill are important for
controlling the vertical deflection and are critical for pipe performance
• The clean sand from the bottom of the pipe to 300 mm above the top of the pipe (sand
cover) shall be compacted by water flooding and hand tamping only. No compaction
testing is required in this section of the trench.
• Warning and identification metallic location tape shall be located slightly above the pipe sand
cover.
• Select field material shall be placed in lifts of 200 mm maximum in loose dept
• Each layer of backfill shall have a compaction grade of at least 85 % Standard Proctor
Density (SPD).
• Compaction is performed on both sides of the pipe, never across the pipe. A vibrating plate
with an impact force of 3000 N is used.
• Do not use heavy pneumatic hammers or vibrating equipment until having reached a
backfill level of 500 mm over the crown of the pipe.
• Attention must be paid so that the backfill material is not contaminated with debris or other
foreign materials that could damage the pipe or cause loss of side support.
• During backfilling, the granular material should flow completely under the pipe to
provide full support.
• A blunt tool maybe used to push and comp act the backfill under the pipe.

144
Project Construction Methodology

• Proper backfilling should be done in 150 mm to 300mm lifts depending on backfill material
and compaction material, 300mm lifts will be adequate since gravel is relatively easy to
compact. Sand needs more compaction efforts.
• It is recommended that placing and compacting of the pipe zone backfill is done in such a
way as to cause the pipe to ovalize slightly in the vertical direction.

6- Correction Over –Deflected Pipes

Pipes installed with diametrical deflections exceeding the value in the above
table must be corrected to ensure the long- term performance on the pipe.
.1 Procedure

For pipe deflected up to 8% of diameter:


- Excavate down to the haunch area, which is approximately 85% of
the pipe diameter.
- Excavation just above at the sides of the pipe should be done utilizing
hand tools avoid impacting the pipe with heavy equipment.
- Inspect the pipe for damage. Damaged pipe should be repaired or
replaced.

145
Project Construction Methodology

- Re-compact haunch backfilling, insuring it is not contaminated with unacceptable backfill


material soil.
- Re-backfill the pipe zone in lifts with the appropriate material, compacting each layer top
required relative compaction density.
- Backfill to grade and check the pipe deflection to verify they have not exceeded the initial
values in Table 9-1.
- For pipe deflected greater than 8 % pipe diameter: Pipes with over 8 % deflection should be
replaced completely.
Caution: Do not attempt to jack or wedge the installed over -deflected pipe into around
condition. This may cause damage to the pipe. If excavating multiple pipes, care must be
taken to not mound the cover from one pipe over the adjacent one. The extra cover and
reduction of side support could magnify an over- deflected situation.

7- Safety precautions:

d) All personnel involved will use necessary PPE as required.


e) In order to avoid irritation of the respiratory system, satisfactory ventilation should be provided. If a
system is hydro tested, adequate safety precautions must be taken, as a “safe test pressure” does not
exist. Any pressure in itself is dangerous.
f) Experienced personnel must operate the test equipment. Persons not involved in the test or inspection
are not allowed in the immediate area of the tested system. Only one person should be in charge
and everyone else must follow his/her instructions.
g) Do not change anything on the pipe system when it is under pressure. Leaking joints may only be
repaired after the pressure has been fully released.

assets such as delicate electronics. It is also harmless to people’s health. This makes the Novec 1230
fluid ideal for spaces that are normally or occasionally occupied. The agent is also non-toxic, non-
flammable and non-explosive.

The innovative Novec 1230 fluid is safe, effective and not subject to regulatory restrictions or phase-out.
The Novec 1230 fluid has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), a short atmospheric lifetime (ALT) of 3-5
days and a low global warming potential (GWP) of 1, making it exempt from restrictions of so-called
“greenhouse gases” imposed by the Kyoto Protocol. This makes Novec 1230 fluid an innovative, clean
and future-proof solution. Novec 1230 with the Novec 1230 fluid follows EN standards and guidelines
and is backed by appropriate certifications such as VdS, CNPP and others.

❖ PROGRESS MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE:

Design Measurement Procedure:

We have to list down all the Design Disciplines relevant to the Project like Civil, Structural,
Architectural, Process, Mechanical– Rotating, Mechanical – Fire Protection, Piping, Documents
& Specification and Project Study. Also, the corresponding number of Drawing Design Sheets
shall be listed thus this will determine the weight percentages of the Design Disciplines. This can
be derived by dividing the individual Design Discipline number of drawing sheets against the
overall Total Number of Drawing Sheets.

Subsequently, asper Standard, eachDesignDisciplinehas7phaseswith the corresponding


weight factor as follows;

1. Initial Drafting: 20%


2. Complete Drafting: 45%
3. Discipline Check: 15%
4. Initial CEER Review: 5%
5. CEER Review: 5%
6. Initial Acceptance (Withhold): 5%
7. Final Acceptance 5%
TOTAL 100%
To get the corresponding Design Discipline Progress, we have to determine the product of:
individual progress of the 7 phases x the weight factor above x the weight percentage as initially
computed above. Summate all the Design Discipline Progress Percentage and that will be the
Overall Design Progress on a certain Reporting Time.

Procurement Measurement Procedure:

We have to list down all the Materials to be procured whether they are non-Engineered or

Engineered Items. According to the number of Materials listed, we shall determine the weight
percentage es of each material. We have to consider that each material has the same weight value
so that the c or responding weight percentage of each material shall be computed as 1/total number
of Material Items.
Secondly, as per Standard, each Material Procurement shall pass thru 6 gates with the
corresponding weight factor as follows;

1. Issue MR /RFQ: 10%


2. Tender Bid Evaluation: 15%
3. Place Purchase Order: 15%
4. Material submittal: 20%
5. Materials onsite: 30%
6. PO Closeout: 10%

TOTAL 100%
To get the corresponding Material Procurement Progress, we have to determine the product of
individual progress of the 6 gates x the weight factor above x the weight percentage as initially com
putted above. To detail the Procurement Progress, summarize the progress by Procurement Line
Items as per BOQ by summating all the Materials Progress under each Line-Item umbrella.
Finally summate all the Procurement Line-Item Progress and that will be the Overall
Material Procurement Progress on a certain Reporting Time.
Construction Measurement Procedure:

We have to list down all the Construction Line Items as per Contract BOQ together with the

corresponding activities extracted from the Baseline Schedule. Each activity has a designated

manhour. We can compute the corresponding Activity Weight Percentage by dividing the

individual activity manhour against the total manhours as extracted from the Schedule. After that,

Line Items weight percentage can be determined by adding all the activities under its umbrella.

306
Project Construction Methodology

To update the progress at a certain time, we must determine the individual progress of each

activity by dividing the progress quantity against the activity total quantity and thereafter multiply

the progress by the activity weight percentage. After that we determine the Line Items Progress

by summating all the Activity Progress under their umbrella.

Lastly summate all the Line Items Progress Percentage to determine the Overall Construction
Progress at a certain Reporting Time.

Overall Project Progress Measurement:

Each Line Item in the Design BOQ has its corresponding manhours. We can derive the Weight
Percentage of each category by dividing the Line-Item manhour by the total manhours. Likewise,
we can compute the Progress of each Line Item by multiplying the derived weight percentage
against the Progress as computed in the first 3 Measurement Procedures. After that we will sum
up all the Line-Item Progress and that will be the Overall Project Progress at a certain Reporting
Time.

❖ Procurement Plan:

a- INTRODUCTION

Procurement Management is a process that defines the methodology of purchase from


suppliers. The procurement management process involves managing the ordering,
receipt, review and approval of items by the client Quality Control. A procurement
process also specifies how the supplier relationships will be managed, to ensure a
high level of service is received. This is a critical task in Procurement Management.
For CEER, STL Procurement Management would be important task because of the
complexity of procurement processes and supply chain management and consortium
member relationships.
Finally, the main focus of the STL procurement strategy to ensure that Holy mosques
gets the best product and the latest product at the best price. It may entail that STL
interacts with multiple vendors to get competitive quotes for the same solution and
would strategically maneuver the procurement directly or through the STL
Consortium Partners as required to achieve target pricing budgets.

Ideally STL procurement strategy will mainly help to:

❖ Identify the goods and services to procure.

❖ Get competitive quotes from multiple vendors.

❖ Finalize the product based on merits & payment terms.

❖ Identify supplier milestones.

Ensure the direct involvement of vendors in the validation of design and test labs

❖ Complete Purchase Orders and issue to suppliers


❖ Agree on delivery timeframes and methods
❖ Review vendor performance against purchase Contracts
❖ Receive goods and services from suppliers
❖ Review and accept the items procured

313
Project Construction Methodology

❖ Identify and resolve supplier performance issues


❖ Approve supplier payments.
❖ Communicate the status to management.

Procuring goods and services from external suppliers will be a critical path this project. Often, the
performance of the supplier chain cycle will reflect on the performance of the overall project
team. It would be therefore very crucial that STL manages the supplier’s performance carefully,
to ensure that they produce deliverables which meet project expectations

323
Project Construction Methodology

❖ Mobilization Plan and Project Site Preparations:

1. Introduction

1.1. STL has had extensive experience in mobilizing large projects even in remote areas and is
familiar with the problems, which must be overcome to ensure success. Mobilization requires
proven experience and “in place” mechanisms to ensure that the following activities occur to
support project scheduled milestone:

o Recruitment selection and deployment of management, engineering and labor resources;


o Large number visas availability on hand;
o Erection of proper camp and other support facilities to support field work forces;
o Establishment of required office and communication facilities, equipment and supplies in
a short time;
o Coordination of procurement activities to support filed need dates, especially with regard to
long-lead items;
1.2. Establishment of proper custom clearance and other logistics to ensure uninterrupted material
flow;

1.3. These are some of the more important, but not all issues, involved in large scale mobilization
efforts. STL has successfully dealt with these issues and considering its present resources is
confident to be able to address this issue successfully.

1.4. In case of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia STL undertook to deliver a number of mega projects
wherein the peak manpower levels were 3,000 to 6,000. STL was successful in mobilizing
required equipment and manpower to the site and the projects have been delivered in
scheduled time.

1.5. It may be noted that in case of Projects in the region a portion of the skilled manpower &
equipment have to be brought in.. the sequence of visas, recruitment & arrival at site takes at
most 3~4 months not to mention the time lost further in (learning curves) adjustment to living
conditions, atmosphere etc.. besides the need for orientation and necessary training with the
organization and its systems

1.6. The overall project demands considerable number of construction plant and equipment. is the
direct Client of the largest pool of such equipment in the Middle East. However, many of such
required equipment are already mobilized for various similar Projects in Saudi Arabia.

1.7. Our experience in dealing with labor accommodation and temporary facilities will be of
tremendous importance. We intend to place most of our temporary offices, labor
accommodation and other requisite temporary facilities and production facilities as close to

324
Project Construction Methodology

the project site as possible. These facilities will be located on site with the permission of the Client for
obvious benefit to the Project.

1.8. The Personnel Officer will work with the Security Officer to maintain security of access to the Site. All
staff and labor will be issued controlled identity cards which must be worn and displayed at all times.
Personnel traveling on buses between the Camp and job site will be checked as they board the buses
and will be subject to further check by the Client’s Security Guards at the Security Gate on the Main
Access Gate. Those traveling in their own transport will obviously be checked at the Client’s Security
Gate and be subject to further spot checks at the work sites.

2. Temporary Facilities Plan

2.1. STL recognizes the need for rapid mobilization of temporary facilities and has developed a
comprehensive, temporary facilities plan to allow productive field operations to begin at the earliest
possible time. We shall, with the primary assistance of our local sub-Contractor and group companies.

2.2. Office Buildings

2.2.1. Office Buildings will consist of pre-fabricated mobile office modules that can be rapidly obtained
from inventory, shipped to site and quickly erected. The office facilities for the Client I Engineer will
be fabricated new after due approval of layouts. The standard of office accommodation for the Contractor
will be consistent with the quality of Project Management services to be performed in these offices,
We may also hire office space in the adjacent buildings as per our overall requirements.

2.2.2. It will be noted that the offices are grouped to provide accommodation to the separate disciplines and
work groups such as Architectural, Civil! Structural, Electrical I Mechanical and Project Management.
yet are in close proximity to maintain constant contact and communication between the groups. Client’s
Site Representative’s Office will be located in the adjacent buildings.

2.2.3. Field offices will be located directly at the work site, as much as possible, for each Section Engineer to
keep the field forces close to the work. They will be used for daily coordination meetings between Section
Engineers and the Site Engineers and Trades Foremen, Drawings and supplies will be maintained at these
Field Offices to minimize the need for field personnel to travel to the Project Office

The QA/QC Manager will be located at the Office Compound but the facilities such as Lab and testing
facilities a little bit distant. The Lab facilities will be used in common by our own Lab staff
supplemented as necessary with Independent Testing Agency’s personnel.

325
Project Construction Methodology

3. Communication Systems

3.1. Plans have been prepared for extension of the main telephone lines, obtained from local service
provider, to all the major offices. Within the Offices the telephone lines will be distributed from the
Central Switchboard. Telephones extensions will be provided to all areas of works, apart from within
the offices, such as the warehouse, site workshops, lab, security gate among others.
3.2. Cellular telephones will be provided to the Project Manager and other key staff to communicate with all.
At main project offices we will arrange to provide fax facilities for communicating with all concerned.
STL shall take full advantage offered by internet and email. We intend to establish email & internet
server on the site for rapid and seamless communication with all of our offices, suppliers, sub-
Contractors and others connected with the project. All constituents of STL are connected to internet and
email is primary communication mode.
3.3. A two-way communication (Tetra) between employees can be provided under CEER request.

4. Warehouses, Fabrication Shops, Maintenance Shops

4.1. A separate Warehouse, site workshop, maintenance shop compound will be established in accordance
with the overall requirements. Facilities of local suppliers will also be tapped as much as possible in order
to provide work opportunities to local companies.

4.2. The Warehouse/Shops Compound will be fenced and secured. Both covered and open storage will be
provided and space will be provided in the covered areas for fabrication and preparation of materials before
dispatch to the field. Separate facilities will be provided for Electrical, Mechanical and Architectural and
Client furnished materials, systems and equipment. A shop will be assigned to sheet metal work and
duct fabrication. A rough carpentry shop will fabricate and re-furbish formwork and a re-bar shop will do
cutting and bending of re-bar, although this may be sub-Contracted to an off-site rebar detailer and
fabricator. A part of the area will be designated for Structural Steel storage, fabrication and assembly.

326
Project Construction Methodology

5. Electrical Power Distribution

5.1. STL shall arrange for extension of the power cable, provided by the local utility company, adjacent
to the Project Office, to the respective construction sites, filed offices and facilities. In case power
cable is not available STL has number of generators for meeting part of the project requirements

5.2. For early construction work on various work elements small portable 3KV - 5KV generators will
provide electrical power. Power for welding will be provided by portable welding sets.

5.3. As superstructure construction proceeds, permanent electrical conduit and wiring will be installed
and temporary lighting attached. Systems will be connected to the temporary power supply and
energized. Supplementary task lighting will be provided in certain areas for specialist finishing
trades, as required. Exterior flood-lighting will be installed to provide general night-time lighting.
Office and Warehouse compounds will be adequately lit to provide night-time working levels
and for security.

5.4. When permanent power becomes available temporary power systems will be progressively
dismantled and removed

6. Water Distribution

6.1. STL will arrange for installation of the main temporary water supply, from a source provided by the
local utility company, located adjacent to the Project Office, to the project sites and sources of
consumption. Alternatively, this can be arranged by water tankers from third party sources as well
and with storage facilities at site.

6.1.1. A temporary water ring main will be installed around the construction site, so located as to
avoid permanent construction for utilities and damage from other construction activities.

6.1.2. As superstructure construction proceeds, permanent piping will be installed and connected to the
temporary water supply to provide water for construction within the buildings and for fire-fighting
purpose. Every effort will be made to provide early installation of the permanent water supply, the
distribution system and the waste water collection system so that water is readily available
throughout the building.

6.1.3. The temporary system can then be systematically removed so as not to clutter up the work site.
6.1.4. The Temporary water supply is installed for construction and to limited extent for firefighting
purposes. Potable drinking water for the office and the construction workers will be provided in
suitable containers by a Contracted vendor. Electric coolers will be provided in the offices and
at strategic locations to provide drinking

327
Project Construction Methodology

water to all workers.

7. Waste and Garbage Disposal

7.1. Construction debris and waste that is clean and non-polluting will be disposed of at the Client
provided or agreed Construction Waste Disposal Area. Dumpsters will be strategically located
around the construction site and at the Workshops and Warehouses to receive construction
waste. These dumpsters will be regularly emptied at the Disposal site so that there is no build- up
of construction waste in the work areas.

7.2. For garbage disposal, suitable containers will be placed at the Office and Warehouse compounds
for food-waste, food containers and other sanitary waste. Around the construction site, 5-gallon
barrels, suitably marked and with tops removed, will be conveniently located for sanitary waste
such as food-waste and containers, drink cartons, bottles, cigarette packets and general refuse that
degrades the work-site but which cannot be placed in the construction waste dumpsters. These 5-
gallon barrels will be emptied regularly, along with the sanitary waste disposal containers at the
Office and Warehouse Compounds. A sanitary waste disposal sub- Contractor will be retained to
provide the sanitary waste containers and to regularly empty the containers and dispose of the
contents at a certified sanitary waste disposal area selected by the Engineer.

8. Sanitary Facilities

8.1. Toilet facilities will be provided at the Office and Warehouse Compounds. Sewage will be
collected in temporary, underground collection tanks which will be emptied on a regularly
scheduled basis.

8.2. At fixed locations around the main construction sites, gang type toilet and washing facilities will
be installed. The sewage from these facilities will, again, be collected in temporary, underground
tanks and regularly emptied.

8.3. A sanitary sub-Contractor will be retained to regularly service the toilet and washing facilities
including cleaning and provision of soap, paper. towels and other supplies. This sub- Contractor
will regularly empty the holding tanks etc. as required by extent of usage, by means of suitable
tankers and pumps. The sub-Contractor will transport the sewage to a certified, approved,
sewage disposal system for disposal.

328
Project Construction Methodology

9. Camp Operation Procedure

9.1. All the temporary facilities and housing for labor and junior staff will be located close to the site.
In line with our policy the senior staff is encouraged to live in the city as per their choice providing
opportunities to local real estate Clients. Additions in the camp will be necessary for the labor
accommodation in case of Camp due to sheer size of the project. This will be carried out in
advance of labor requirements.

9.2. The camp is managed by Camp Boss reporting to the Administration Manager. He is provided with
a crew to maintain the camp in good condition apart from a separate group for safety and security.
The Camp Boss ensures discipline & hygiene and looks after personnel requirements,
entertainment, health requirements. urged with the responsibility that local laws should be
followed as required.

10. Design Management Plan:

1. Introduction

1.1. The design of the Project will be performed by Jain Consulting, a team having extensive
experience in the design and construction supervision of major Royal projects in the Middle East.

1.2. It is proposed that the design be carried out in a very short time in order to enable STL to speed up
their procurement and construction efforts. Jain Consulting with its considerable resources located
offsite are adequately staffed in order to accomplish this task. It may also be noted that it is not
necessary for the project to be completely designed in five months; on the other hand it is enough
that the design is well ahead of construction for all the facilities of importance since there will be
long lead items that require considerable period for engineering, fabrication and shipment.

1.3. In this section we are presenting a very brief methodology that will be adapted in the design
management of the project.

2. The Process:

2.1. The design of the project will be performed by Jain Consulting who have considerable
experience in the design and construction supervision of major projects in the Middle East.

2.2. Immediately upon award of the Contract, Jain Consulting will meet with all the stake holders in
the project in order to review in detail the proposed design. We anticipate that CEER
representative will facilitate such meetings and carry out the required coordination. They

329
Project Construction Methodology

shall prepare a Needs List, (Information / Confirmation Required) for regular follow-up with all
concerned through STL’s Engineering Manager. We anticipate that there will be considerable
coordination requirements between all project authorities, stake holders, other service providers.

2.3. Subsequent to these meetings the proposed design will be fine-tuned and agreements will be
reached on a number of critical points. We anticipate this session to last no more than one week.
We also anticipate that these meetings will be attended by client O&M team.

2.4. If there are any substantial variations between the proposed design and the agreed version then
agreements will have to be reached between all parties on how the adjustments are to be reflected
in the Contract.

2.5. A schedule shall be agreed between STL and Vesta concerning the timing and content of the
delivery of the design documentation to suit the established procurement and construction
packaging strategy. Progressive submission of the documentation will be necessary in this
regard. Consideration will be given for early release of earthwork and long lead items.

2.6. A detailed geotechnical investigation will be arranged based on the approved master plan and
concept design at the soonest opportunity as this will help pave the way for the confirmation of
the adequacy of the foundation design.

2.7. Meetings shall also be held with all service providers in order to advise them of the requirements
of the project both in terms of capacity and schedule. Timely availability of utilities is critical
for the commissioning of the project.

2.8. Formal design approvals shall be obtained from all statutory authorities as required with the
assistance of the offices of CEER- construction of prototype workshop project.

2.9. The design team shall continue to be involved in the project during the construction phase as well
in order to ensure that there is ongoing coordination between project users, tenants and other
users of the project with regard to the design of the project.

11. Communication Channels


The communication channels for the project are through the designated email created as
sauditech@sauditech.com.sa In terms of the participants i.e., the Client, Consultants
(Engineer), (STL, Suppliers, and Sub-Contractors; the offices in which the work will be
performed; and internally as shown in the organization charts described in the previous section.
The graphics on the following two pages identify the channels of communication that will exist
among the participating entities and the products of communication that will be produced.
Communications will occur in the form of drawings, specifications, transmittals, reports, requests
for information (RFI), letters, telephones, faxes, E-Mail, computer link-ups, and face-to-face
meetings.

330
Project Construction Methodology

a. Figure shows the communication channels among the major participants, determined by specific
project responsibilities. The Client communication links are primarily with STL. Contacts with
suppliers and sub-Contractors will generally pass through STL or in common meetings for discussion
of specific issues such as design reviews and progress meetings. In this way STL maintains constant
control over design development, quality control and construction progress.

b. The other figure shows the communication activities among STL offices. The focal point of
communication is through the Project Manager who is located at the site office. Communications with
suppliers and fabricators will be expedited due to the many STL offices

c. Communications with the sub-Contractors with them will be managed by the site office and in specific
cases by the Central Office. Suppliers may be located around the world. Materials obtained locally
or in KSA will be managed from the site offices or our City Offices. Materials procured in European
or American markets will also be expedited and managed by the site procurement offices until
assistance is requested as required by the Jeddah office.

d. STL will utilize state of the art personal computers for all data processing needs on the project. We
will connect the on-site computers with a Local Area Network which will allow efficient software
sharing, data storage and retrieval and communication among users. A further section that follows
gives a complete description of the computer system planned for the project and exhibits it graphically

e. Further, all STL offices and even the Client offices can be easily connected via phone modems
and fax modems to provide additional communications and access to information as may be requested
through internet or directly as required. STL utilizes state of the art technology and almost all of the
project sites and individuals are linked via internet, local nets, email services providing almost instant
access. STL thus has adequate communication channels at its disposal to support the project in a rightful
manner.

B. Documentation

a. On all projects clearly defined means of document management must be established to ensure that
consistency of purpose is maintained and that all appropriate parties are involved along the way
in a constructive and productive manner.

b. The basis for effective document control involves of ensuring that all forms of incoming or outgoing
printed communications and records are identified and tracked and assurances are provided that
confirm that the document has been reviewed by the appropriate parties. Incoming documents must be
numbered, reviewed and responses prepared that reflect the

331
Project Construction Methodology

needs of all effected participants. Outgoing correspondence must be coordinated to ensure that the
project speaks with one voice.

A. It is vital that the transmission of information is handled in a controlled manner to ensure that project
staff is consistently using the latest version of any document, that all appropriate coordination has taken
place and that all correspondence has been responded to in a timely and concise manner. Documentation
for the project will come in many forms;

i. Drawings
ii. Submittals
iii. Transmittals
iv. Specifications
v. Inspection reports
vi. Test results
vii. Progress reports
viii. Schedules
ix. Manuals
x. As-built drawings
xi. As-built documentation
xii. Coordination drawings and submittals.

B. Receipt and Distribution - The general principles for the receipt and transmittal of project generated
communications are described below:

C. All Communications will bear, in the appropriate location, a combination of letters and numbers
which designates the origin, destination, communication category, project area (optional), and serial
number.

D. Document Control - correspondence received during the day will be delivered to the project
manager’s secretary who checks that all enclosures are present, stamps a receipt date, enters relevant
information into the appropriate documentation log, codes the document, copies, distributes and files
the correspondence.

E. The Project Manager or his designated engineer will identify the “action” responsibility and any additional
distribution, mark persons to have copies of enclosures and return correspondence to the secretary for copying and
distribution. The project secretary distributes copies to the identified action.

2.1.1 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS
Scope

Waste is defined as any refuse garbage, other discharged materials or wastes, including any
solids, semi-solids, or liquid material generated as a by-product from construction activities
and its plant and machinery, operation of offices and camps and kitchen.

This EMP addresses waste from the time and location of generation through to the final
disposal of the waste, including construction activities performed by STL. Waste management
will entail the following steps or procedures (refer to Appendix 1).

• Waste minimization.
• Classification and segregation of waste at source.
• Collection of waste in appropriate containers for daily pick-up, from designated
temporary storage areas at specific work sites, and disposed at proper designated
facilities.
• Storage of waste in the on-site purpose designed storage area.
• The transportation, off-site handling and tracking of waste to licensed treatment /
disposal facilities by an approved and licensed contractor.

Project Construction Methodology

2.2 Implementation and Operation


This EMP applies to the minimization, identification, classification, segregation, storage, handling,
transportation and disposal of the waste material in compliance with CLIENT’s requirements. STL
will contain any free liquids and shall not be disposed of to land farms.

3. Waste Minimization
The best way to reduce pollution is to prevent it in the first place. Pollution prevention techniques
improve efficiency, while at the same time minimizing environmental impacts. This can be done in
many ways, such as reducing material inputs, re-engineering processes to reuse by-products,
improving management practices, and employing substitution of toxic chemicals.

The Project Manager will ensure that STL establish and review an annual Waste Minimization
Program, which focuses on waste materials that are:
• Produced in significant quantities;
• Expensive to dispose of; and
• Pose a significant impact to the environment and / or human health.
This program will also establish:

• Objectives and targets for waste minimization and recycling;


• Actions plans, timeframes and responsibilities for achieving objectives and targets; and
• Arrangements for reporting progress to CLIENT.

The established objectives and targets will allow for performance to be measured including figures
quoted for the following:

• Waste generated (per waste stream), quoted in kg or liters/man hours worked.


• Waste reuse and recycling, quoted in % of waste generation (weight and volume) and kg or
liters/year.
• Waste minimization, quoted in % reduction in waste generation (weight and volume) and
reduction in kg or liters/year.

The Project Manager will ensure that an incentive scheme is established to encourage employees
to identify and report ideas for waste minimization, recycling and/or reuse. Positive ideas will be
reviewed and implemented, where appropriate, and reported to the Division Manager for
inclusion in internal communications.

Project Construction Methodology

The Project Manager ensures that all STL employees, under his management control, are
trained in all aspects of waste management relevant to their work activities. The “3 R’s”
(Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) represent the minimization strategies that will be employed
in this WMP to minimize wastes requiring disposal.

• Use of recyclable materials when packing orders to increase recycling opportunities.


• Order chemicals in returnable drums.
• Seek "buy-back" arrangements with chemical suppliers for return of surplus chemicals.
• Procure non-hazardous products where possible.
• Substitute with less hazardous materials.
• Use of refillable containers for collection of waste fluids such as waste oil, hydraulic oil,
3.1.1 Waste Reduction

Waste reduction is the preferable option in order to produce as little waste as possible by
reducing waste at its source. It involves the generation of less waste through more efficient
practices, and in some cases the waste can be totally eliminated. Waste reduction
measures are often most effective during operational phases, however, the philosophy will
also be applied to the construction phase to optimize waste minimization objectives.

STL will train and instill in all its employees and subcontractor personnel the following
measures for reducing the generation of waste.

• Proper planning and ordering of what is needed for the project, not in excess, in order to
reduce wastage.
• Order materials in bulk to reduce packaging waste and the frequency of possible
spillage.
• Suppliers to minimally, but adequately, pack orders to reduce waste volume.

• Segregate process streams to minimize sludge or liquid production.


• Optimize changing of filter systems through regular cleaning and maintenance.
• Avoid ordering and using disposal materials such as batteries, plastic cups, etc. Instead, use
recyclable paper cups, rechargeable batteries, etc.
• Conserve paper by making double-sided copies, sharing of information via e-mail, and
avoidance of unnecessary printouts.
• Train personnel in waste reduction principles as above.

Project Construction Methodology

3.1.2 Waste Reuse

Waste reuse refers to the practice of reusing materials in their original or part of their original
form. STL will look into every opportunity to reuse materials in order to minimize the amount of
waste generated. As such, the following measures will be considered during the construction
phase to reuse materials.

• Use of filters with interchangeable membrane. This will allow the filter body to be
reused.
• Wooden pallets and other packaging materials will be reused for: creating warning, hazard
and safety signage; provision of file, clothes and shoe storages / cabinets; and reuse as
furniture in rest areas.
• Reuse single sided paper by printing rough drafts on empty side and use them as note pad.
• Sending used oil to recycling company for filtering andreuse.

3.1.3 Waste Recycling

Waste recycling refers to the conversion of waste into another (different) usable material, such as
the processing of paper, timber, vegetation, batteries and plastics into new products. Wastes will
be segregated in order to facilitate their collection and recycling by licensed/approved recycling
subcontractors.

STL, through Waste Management Guidelines, has identified the following potential waste streams
for recycling.

• Plastic drums and empty plastic bottles.


• Metal drums.
• Batteries.
• Waste paper.
• Vegetation.
• Cooking oil.
• Timber.
• Waste oil.

All recyclable wastes will have a consignment note generated for each trip to the recycler.

5.2.4 Plastics and Vinyl

Plastics in construction areas are typically derived from packaging, polyethylene vapor barriers,
piping and siding and have limited potential for recycling because of adhesives and fluctuating
markets for plastics. Onsite plastics management programs are further complicated by the need to
segregate plastics by resin type (identified with the recycling number) as different plastics have
different recycling requirements.

Management strategies should therefore focus on reducing plastics onsite, as follows: Ask
suppliers to limit or take back their plastic packaging;

Design plumbing to reduce the amount of piping needed; and

Use standard dimensions to reduce the cutting of vinyl flooring and siding.
5.2.5 Wood
Wood waste includes pallets, buried wood uncovered through excavation and extra & unused
building materials. Wood waste can be used as feedstock for wood composite products like panel
board, building materials, like shingles and roof felt, pulp, processed and raw fuels, animal
bedding, mulch, soil amendments and landfill cover. Woody materials in good condition, like
beams, posts, and trusses can also be reused. A summary of wood waste management strategies
for construction sites is provided in Table below.

Project Construction Methodology

Table 8: Wood management strategies

Identify opportunities for salvage during demolition


Provide contractors with detailed plans so accurate volumes of lumber are
ordered; where feasible, ensure studs and joints are pre- cut to limit onsite
wood waste
Use prefabricated wood, roof and floor systems that limit waste to a
Reduce central location, offsite
If kiln dried lumber is used, store in a protected area so warping and
shrinking are reduced and less waste is created

Limit wood cutting to a specific area onsite so cutoffs can be readily access
and reused where feasible
Relocate unused lumber, cutoffs etc. to other construction sites Reuse
Reuse salvageable timbers and other dimensional lumber from demolition
Set aside pallets for recycling

Separate wood waste based on type; recyclability


Recycle
Recycle wood waste wherever feasible;

Onsite Processing
Where feasible and consistent with environmental regulations, best management practices and
PME & municipal by laws, contractors may wish to consider processing materials for recycling or
disposal onsite. For example, mobile crushers, grinders and chippers can be used for concrete,
masonry supplies, wood and glass.

4.3 Waste Identification and Classification


Wastes that will be generated during the construction of the project will comprise one of the
following main groups of waste types.

• Non-Hazardous Waste
• Municipal Waste.
• Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste.
• Inert Waste.
• Hazardous Waste

Project Construction Methodology

A provisional waste inventory, with estimated waste quantities and disposal options, STL will
ensure the implementation of the inventory system, including:

• Waste streams and their sources;


• Description and classification of the waste streams e.g., hazardous, non-hazardous,
medical type, inert, etc.
• Verification of storage arrangements, if necessary;
• Verification of management options and contractors used; and
• Quantification of waste generated – on a quarterly basis.

When additional waste streams are identified, CLIENT will be consulted to ensure that

appropriate storage and disposal options are identified and implemented.

STL will be responsible for ensuring that the inventory records are retained, maintained and
updated on a quarterly basis or whenever a change occurs. A current copy of waste inventory will
be made available at STL HSE Team Office. When a new waste stream is identified, STL will liaise
with CLIENT to determine for handling, storage and disposal.

For the convenience of waste management, wastes are classified into the following categories.

4.3.1 Municipal Waste (Class 1)


Municipal wastes including garbage, refuse, office waste and other materials resulting from non-
construction operations. Recyclable municipal waste materials such as paper, glass, plastic and
metal will be segregated / sorted and sent to approve CLIENT recycling company. A waste
consignment note will be generated for each consignment of waste delivered to the recycler.
Municipal liquid waste such as sewage and wastewater will be collected.

4.3.2 Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste (Class 2)

Non-hazardous industrial waste can be liquid, semi-liquid and solid. Such waste will be collected at
the STL On-Site Waste Handling, Segregation and Storage Facility before being collected and
disposed to landfill by a licensed contractor. A waste consignment note will be generated for each
consignment of waste. STL will follow the CLIENT Environmental Monitoring Procedure, and will be
implemented during the entire work activities, and includes waste/effluent to be monitored and
the limitation of each parameter in accordance to the standards of CLIENT. Licensed contractors
will be engaged for the collection and disposal of non-hazardous industrial waste in either locally
available landfills.

Project Construction Methodology

4.3.3 Inert Waste (Class 3)

Waste generated through construction activities, which is not biologically or chemically active in
the natural environment, is regarded as inert. Examples include concrete and brick materials,
broken clay, timber, and most plastics and manufactured rubber products. Inert waste also
includes excavated waste material and top soil. Construction inert waste will be carefully
segregated before collection and disposal. A copy of waste manifest / inventory will be recorded
and filed.

4.3.4 Hazardous Waste (Class 4)

Hazardous waste is defined by virtue of its concentration of constituents and characteristics such
as flammability, corrosiveness, reactivity, toxicity and radioactivity that could pose a hazard to
human or environment health and wellbeing if improperly managed.

“Cradle to grave” management refers to the complete “life cycle” management of a material,
particularly in regard to hazardous materials (HAZMAT). The effective management of hazardous
wastes forms an integral part of cradle to grave management

The life cycle begins with the testing and documentation of the substance and continues through
the handling, transportation and documentation of the material; including on-site storage and use.
The cradle to grave concept with respect to hazardous waste management dictates that generator
of waste “track” the movements of waste materials from the time and location of generation
through to the final disposition of the waste. Diligent handling and disposal of waste requires
maintenance of inventories, consignee / consignor numbers and manifesting to establish the
cradle to grave approach to waste management, as committed to by STL. Hazardous waste from
STL activities will be collected and stored in properly designed storage areas within the STL
construction work area until an approved hazardous waste contractor collects the wastes, or until
an alternative disposal option is identified. Licensed waste collectors will be engaged by STL to
collect and dispose such waste. A waste consignment note will be generated for each consignment
of waste.

• All reasonable steps to avoid waste generation and to minimize both the quantities of waste
generated and the hazards of waste generated.
• All wastes generated are correctly identified and stored at the STL On-Site Waste Handling,
Segregation and Storage Area pending collection/transfer for reuse, recycling, treatment and/or
disposal.
• Engage only approved licensed contractors for the transport and disposal of waste.
• All wastes are correctly handled, treated and disposed of.
• The treatment / disposal facilities are appropriately permitted and/or licensed (as stated in this EMP),
and that they are designed, constructed and operated in accordance with City Government and CLIENT
rules and regulations. STL will ensure that wastes are managed according to the following methods.
• For reusable and recyclable wastes generated during construction, waste will be segregated at
the STL On-Site Waste Handling, Segregation and Storage area before collection by a designated
and approved waste recycling company.
• For the sewage wastes generated during construction, the sewage and wastewater will be
transported by tanker truck to the City Government’s approved Water Treatment facility.
• The inert waste generated during construction will be used for land reclamation or landfill. Other
reusable and recyclable inert waste will be collected and treated by a locally approved recycling
company. Timber waste will be reused (i.e. pallets reused for purpose) / recycled (workshop
supply) as much as possible onsite.
• The majority of the hazardous waste generated during the work activities will be stored,
transported and disposed properly. HSE Department will keep an updated register of all wastes
generated and disposed. A waste management report will be submitted to CLIENT on a periodic
basis

transportation). Collections will be scheduled as frequently as necessary to prevent over-
accumulation of wastes. Only approved / licensed transport will be used for waste
transport.
Prior to allowing the consignment of waste to leave the site, a Waste Transfer Checklist
such as that enclosed in Appendix 2 will be completed. The Project HSE Manager with the
assistance of HSE Manager will ensure that the checklist is completed to verify that the
waste containers are:

• Clearly labeled to describe the waste it contains – using the standard waste labels, which should
be completed in full – old labels should also have been removed to avoid confusion as to the
contents of the container
• In good condition and are not leaking
• Appropriate to the waste they contain
• Appropriately sealed e.g., with a lid or bung; and
• Not emitting any harmful gases or generating heat, which could be a sign that incompatible
wastes have been stored together resulting in an adverse chemical reaction.

If any of the above have not been carried out, or have been carried out to a poor standard,
the waste consignment will not be allowed to leave the site. If such a case is identified, the
HSE Manager will ensure that all necessary corrective action(s) are taken to rectify the
situation in order to allow the waste to leave the site.

Project Construction Methodology

15. RESPIRATOR USE

15.1 General use


An appointed medical staff of STL will use the respirators as required by this project
and in accordance with the training they receive.

STL medical staff must conduct user seal checks each time that they wear their
respirators. Employees must use either the positive or negative pressure check
(depending on which test works best for them).

STL medical staff will be permitted to leave their work areas to clean their respirators,
to change filters or cartridges, replace parts, or to inspect respirators if they stop
functioning. STL medical staff should notify a supervisor before leaving a work area.

STL medical staff is not permitted to wear tight-fitting respirators if they have
conditions such as facial scars, facial hair, or missing dentures that prevent them from
achieving a good seal. Facial hair must not contact sealing surfaces or interfere with
the valve function.
STL medical staff is not permitted to wear headphones, jewelry, or other articles that
may interfere with the facepiece-to-face seal.

15.2 Voluntary use


Dust masks:
Employees who voluntarily wear dust masks are not subject to the medical evaluation,
cleaning, storage, and maintenance provisions of this program.

• The program administrator will authorize voluntary use of respirators as requested by all other
employees on a case-by-case basis, depending on workplace conditions and medical evaluation
results.

15.3 Escape respirator


Escape respirators are for emergencies only and must be inspected before being
carried into the workplace. When the emergency alarm sounds, employees on working
must immediately don emergency escape respirators, shut down equipment, and
evacuate to designated safe areas.

15.4 Respirator malfunction

Respirators that are defective or that have defective parts must be removed from
service immediately. An employee who discovers a defect in a respirator must inform
his or her supervisor who will give the respirators to the program administrator. The
program administrator will decide whether to take the respirator out of service, fix it
on the spot, or dispose of it.
The employee must discontinue use and inform his or her supervisor that the
respirator is not working correctly. The supervisor must ensure that the employee
receives parts to repair the respirator or receives another respirator. Locations
immediately dangerous to life or health (IDHL)
The program administrator has identified the following locations as immediately
dangerous to life or health (IDLH):
At least one person must stay immediately outside the IDLH atmosphere to respond to
emergencies.
The person entering the IDLH atmosphere and the person outside the IDLH
atmosphere must maintain visual, voice, or signal contact.
The person outside the IDLH atmosphere must be trained and equipped to respond to
the emergency.

Project Construction Methodology

The person outside the IDLH atmosphere must use a positive- pressure SCBA or
positive- pressure supplied-air respirator with auxiliary SCBA and appropriate rescue
retrieval equipment. The program administrator or another designated person must be
notified before an emergency responder enters the IDLH atmosphere.

16. Cleaning, maintenance, change schedules and storage

15.5.1 Cleaning
Respirators must be regularly cleaned and disinfected at the respirator cleaning station.
Respirators must be cleaned as often as necessary to keep them sanitary.
Atmosphere supplying and emergency use respirators must be cleaned and disinfected
after each use.
The following procedure must be used for cleaning and disinfecting respirators:

• Disassemble respirator. Remove filters, canisters, or cartridges.


• Wash the face piece and parts in warm water with a mild detergent. Do not use organic
solvents.
• Rinse completely in clean warm water.
• Wipe the respirator with disinfectant wipes.
• Air dry the respirator in a clean area.
• Reassemble the respirator, inspect it, and replace defective parts.
• Put the respirator in a clean, dry, plastic bag or other air-tight container.
The program administrator will ensure an adequate supply of appropriate cleaning and disinfection
materials at the cleaning station. Employees should contact their supervisor or the program
administrator when supplies are low.

Maintenance
Respirators must be properly maintained to ensure that they work properly.
Maintenance involves a thorough visual inspection for cleanliness and defects. Worn or
deteriorated parts must be replaced. No components will be replaced or repairs made
except those recommended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer must repair the
regulators or alarms of atmosphere- supplying respirators.

Table 12: The following checklist must be used to ensure respirators are properly inspected:
Respirator inspection checklist
Facepiece No cracks, tears, or holes
No facemask distortion
No cracked or loose lenses or face shields
Head straps No breaks or tears
No broken
buckles
Valves No residue or dirt, cracks, or tears in valve material
Filters and cartridges NIOSH approved
Gaskets seat
properly
No cracks or dents in housing
Proper cartridge for hazards
Air supply systems Breathing-quality air is used Supply
hoses are in good condition Hoses
are properly connected

Settings on regulators and valves are correct

Employees are permitted to leave their work to maintain their respirators in a


designated safe area under the following circumstances:
To wash their own faces and the respirators’ facepieces to prevent eye or skin irritation
To replace filters, cartridges, or canisters
When they detect vapor or gas breakthrough or leakage in the facepiece or detect other
damage to the respirator or its components
Change Schedules

Air-purifying particulate filters, cartridges, or filtering facepieces must be replaced


when breathing resistance increases, the cartridge surface is contaminated, or when the
filter is damaged.
Note to users of this program. Gases and vapors, odor and irritation are not considered
adequate warnings. Because end-of-service-life indicators (ESLI) are available for a
limited number of chemicals, employers must develop change-out schedules for
cartridges and canisters used with air-purifying respirators for protection against gases
and vapors.
