1. Introduction
This method statement provides a detailed plan for the safe and efficient demolition of civil
services. Various Civil Services (VCS) include infrastructure elements such as water supply
networks, sewage/drainage systems, electrical/power conduits, and telecommunication
networks. The objective of this method statement is to highlight the step-by-step
procedures, safety measures, and equipment requirements necessary to carry out
demolition activities.
2. Scope
The scope of this method statement covers the demolition of civil services within a specified
area. It includes the removal of underground and aboveground components, disconnection
of utilities, and the safe disposal of demolished materials.
3.1. Excavators:
Appropriate sizes and types of excavators will be used for digging trenches and removing
underground components.
4. Demolition Procedures:
The following steps will be followed during the demolition process:
4.2. Disconnection:
After exposing the services, disconnection will be carried out as per the relevant utility
provider's guidelines. This includes shutting off the water supply, disconnecting electrical
lines, and cutting telecommunications cables.
4.3. Removal:
Once the services are disconnected, they will be removed using appropriate cutting tools
and lifting equipment. Care will be taken to prevent any damage to nearby structures or
services that need to remain intact.
5. Environmental Considerations
Environmental considerations will be taken into account throughout the demolition process.
Measures will be implemented to minimize noise, dust, and other potential pollutants. Spill
containment measures will be in place, and proper disposal of hazardous substances will be
ensured.
8. Conclusion
This method statement outlines a systematic approach to the demolition of civil services,
emphasizing safety, efficiency, and environmental considerations. By following the outlined
procedures, utilizing the appropriate equipment, and implementing necessary safety
measures, demolition activities can be carried out successfully with minimal risks and
disruption to the surrounding environment.
