6. PROCEDURE
6.1 Working Area
COMPANY and CONTRACTOR have legal obligations to plan and control the operation of
excavators on site. Operators and personnel on Site must be made aware of site hazards
which could affect the safe use of excavators and of site rules which limit where they may be
used.
Particular attention should be paid to:
a. Control of access to the lifting zone

Sites should be arranged so that wherever possible pedestrians and vehicles are
adequately separated by establishing:
• Pedestrian only areas from which vehicles are completely excluded;

• Safe designated pedestrian routes to work locations;
Doc No:
GRAPHITE-CON-MMSJV-
KTHRO-PLF-JMS-031

Page:
• Vehicle only areas, especially where space is limited, or traffic is heavy; and
• Safe vehicle routes around the site.
When planning the movement of vehicles on site, including pick and carry routes, access
to the lifting zone should be carefully controlled to ensure that personnel not associated
with the lifting operation are excluded to reduce the risk of contact with the excavator or
load being lifted.
This procedure is applied at identified area of the ROW and shall include but not limited
to Attachment 1 for mapping area for lifting, shifting, stringing, lowering-in and
transportation using excavator.
b. Site Housekeeping
Areas where an excavator may be used should be kept free of rubbish such as bricks,
pallets, timber, etc. Such debris can significantly affect the safe operation of an excavator
when lifting suspended loads.
c. Roads, Access Ways and Entrances

Consolidated roads, free from potholes, should be provided at the earliest possible stage
of site development to minimize the need to travel on uneven or unstable terrain. Where
at off road operation, operators should be made aware of hazards which could contribute
to overturning risks or other factors that can affect the safe use of an excavator. These
include loss of control/direction, loss of traction and braking – even on level surfaces,
hidden obstacles, visibility (mud coating mirrors) and loads fouling the ground.
d. Ground Conditions
The Construction Engineers and Lifting Supervisor shall refer to (Attachment 12 –
Underground Pipe Stress Calculation) for the excavator loads can be safely supported by
the ground. Similar consideration must be given where excavators are sited on suspended
slabs or positioned near retaining walls or adjacent to excavations or embankments, and
steep area.
The ability of the ground to support the excavator will depend upon the type of
excavation, the nature of the ground and ground water conditions. The condition of spoil
heaps also requires careful monitoring as they can be adversely affected by rain or wet
weather.
The excavator position must be adequately strong, firm and level on ground. Devices,
such as steel plates or construction mats, etc. must be provided to spread the load from
the excavator to the ground whichever required to fully ensure the working platform is
stable ground and safe for the throughout the lifting, shifting, stringing, lowering-in and
transporting using excavator.
e. Underground Services
The area where the lifting operation is to take place, including any pick and carry route,
should be assessed to ensure that any underground services are located, and measures
put in place to ensure that the services are not damaged and that they do not affect the
stability of the excavator.

GRAPHITE-CON-MMSJV-
KTHRO-PLF-JMS-031

f. Overhead Power Lines

Where an excavator is in the vicinity of overhead power lines an exclusion zone should
be established around the line and any other equipment that may be fitted to the pole or
pylon.
The minimum extent of these zones varies according to the voltage of the line, as follows:
• low-voltage line – 1 m;
• 275/132 kV line at KP3 (tower mounted) – 7 m.
The minimum heights above ground level for overhead power lines and can be used for
the identification of line voltage from the type of pole or pylon.
Goal post with height signage to be set-up at the access of the area to reduce the working
envelope of the excavator.
Greenfield and brownfield shall be marked and pegged by Surveyor. Greenfield and
brownfield area to be demarcated by using physical barrier (i.e: Snow fence).
6.2 Load Specifications
The load specification of the items and materials to be lifted/shifted/lowered/transferred

shall include but not limited to the following;
No Description Dimension Estimated Weight

1 Welding set - 400kg
2 Generator set - 600kg
3 Shoring/Tie In box 3.3m x 3.3m x 3m 2.41 ton
4 Line pipe 36” 12m per spool 3 – 4 ton
5 Sheet Pile (EC300 only) 12m x 0.3m (per unit) 10 ton per bundle
6 Set On Weight (EC300 only) 1.63m x 1.46m x 1.42m 4 ton
6.3 Safe Load Calculation
Safe Load Calculations to adhere to the manufacturer’s manual. The safe working load table
is varied depending on the type of excavators, refer Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.
CONTRACTOR to ensure trained personnel are available to read the Safe Load Table.
As referred to the pad-eye calculation in Attachment 9, CONTRACTOR confirmed that the

excavator bucket would be able to withstand the corresponded loads.
6.4 Machineries and Material Pre-Use Inspection
Daily, Weekly and Monthly inspections are required to be conducted. Pre-use daily inspection
shall be conducted at the beginning of each shift, prior to lifting, shifting, stringing, lowering-
in and transporting using excavator into service, and during extended operation (when
necessary) to ensure its serviceability and integrity.
