1. TEMPORARY WORKS

1.1. GENERAL

This specification covers materials, execution and acceptance for temporary works.

1.2. EXECUTION

Prior to commence main constructions, preparation works must be completed including

preparation methods on organization, constructing co-operation, preparation works for inside
and outside of the site.

Preparation methods on organization, constructing co-operation including:

 Agreements with relating authorities on combining usages and energy of

construction device, local manpower and construction facilities, existing utilities
under operation nearby the site in order to apply for construction of infrastructure
system (road system, transportation, power supply system, water supply and
drainage systems, communication system, etc) industrial factories under
constructions and local energy supply facilities, etc).

 Solutions on taking maximum advantages of available building materials

in locality.

 Specify organizations who will take part in construction field

 Sign handing-over and receiving tender contracts of constructions as

regulated in Government’s written letters of handing over and receiving tenders of
construction.

Prior to decide preparation methods on organizations, constructing co-operation and other

preparations, it is required to study approved specification, cost estimation, and specific
construction conditions in locality. Simultaneously, setting up design, construction organization,
and construction design have to be done.

Preparation works for inside of the Site including:

 Specify basic positioning benchmarks for constructions

 Site clearance: clearance of trees and scrubbings in the scope of regulated design,
demolish facilities that can not be used for construction inside of the Site.

 Prepare surface of the site: filling and back-filling of the site, ensure the drainage,
temporary and permanent roads inside of the site, installing power lines, water
supply systems used for constructions, tele- communication systems and radio, etc.

 Build workshops and serving facilities such as storages, assembly yards, combination
of structures and equipment, batching plants, steel reinforcement yards, casting

TEMPORARY WORKS
CIVIL WORKS REV. 0 PAGE 2

yards for structural reinforcement, re-bars, carpenter’s workshops and formwork

processing, construction machines, mechanical repairing workshops, car garages,
petroleum station, etc…

 Build temporary housing for constructions: in case that it is allowed to use housing
and facilities specified in the design, they have to be constructed firstly in order to
combine usage of them during construction.

 Ensure the water supply system for fire prevention and firefighting equipment,
means of communication and firefighting horns.

Locations of temporary facilities are not located on the positions of main facilities causing
obstacles for constructing main facilities and its calculation on economic efficiency. Temporary
facilities are ensured to use for all stages of constructions. By all cases, it is required to study
how to use the maximum of main items for constructions in order to save economically
investment capital for constructing temporary facilities and shorten times for construction of
main facilities.

The Contractor must provide housing for workers at site, WCs for workers, storage, workshops
and construction yards built as temporary housing types that are easily installed, removed or
demolished, auto-mobile, and also maximum usage of existing facilities located in locality. For
housing for supervisors and the Employer, there are 40-feet container for supervisors and 40-
feet container for the Employer with installed air-conditioning system and WCs.

For roads used for construction, firstly, existing and permanent roads inside and outsides of the
site are used. In case, these permanent roads are not convenient or grade of these roads are
not ensured for transport all kinds of vehicles for constructions, new temporary roads will be
made. For roads or infrastructures specified in the design, they should be permitted to combine
preparation and commence the construction early. The construction unit must maintain roads in
order to ensure theirs usage during construction.

Power source used for construction is taken from existing power lines or combined by using
permanent power supply facilities specified in the design. Temporary power sources (auto-
mobile power station, diesel generators…). They are only used for commencing the construction
works, prior to put into usage and operation of the official power supply items

It is required to lead power lines in the air from temporary high voltage and low voltage supply
nets. It is only installed underground power cables in case that the high voltage power lines are
not safe and cause obstacles for construction works. It is necessary to use mobile-transformers,
transformers placed on the poles, mobile-column types of transformers.

To water supply systems for construction, firstly, all existing water supply systems which are
near the site will be used.

TEMPORARY WORKS
CIVIL WORKS REV. 0 PAGE 3

When to establish temporary water supply system, firstly, it is necessary to establish permanent
water supply lines specified in the design in order to combine their usage for constructions.

Quantities of main facilities of the Works are only constructed when necessary preparation
works used directly for construction are completed and ensured to have sufficiently procedures,
papers as the Government regulations.

1.3. SURVEYING

Prior to survey the construction site, it is required to study general map, check detailed
drawings used for setting out facilities such as: distance among axes, general layout, co-
ordinates and elevations and they are approved by the technical supervisors of the Employer.

Prior to set out the site, the Contractor needs to re-check benchmarks of controlled gridlines for
the plan and elevations, and then the Contractor will report the result of rechecking to the
Engineer.

Ordinal arrangement will be conducted as follows:

 Set up the gridlines of the Works

 Locate the Works

 Transpose axes of the Works to the existing ground and chamfer the
Site

 Arrange sub-axes of the Site based on the data of the main arranged axes

 Arrange details of vertical and horizontal axes of all items of the Works

 Transpose the axis and elevation to the constructing floors

 Arrange details of the Works based on the detailed design

 As-built survey

Surveying tolerance for setting out axes inside and outside of the facilities or Works and other
arrangement tolerance are divided into 6 grades depending on the height and numbers of floors
of the building, structure features, construction materials, ordinal sequence, method
statements. Allowable average tolerance when setting out the gridlines of the Works stated in
the table 3

When moving the big size objects under the cables, need to prepare the safety method into
details. Need to cut off power if the moving objects may touch the cables or power from the
cable discharging into the objects and moving into the ground.

When there are electrical workers, only the person direct on duty has the right to repair,
connect or cut off the electrical equipments out of the electrical network. It is only allowed to
remove covering parts, remove and connect the cable into the equipments, repair the
conductive parts after cutting off power. Do not allow to repair, remove, connect the cables and
related works for the cable in the air as the power is on.

On off the power for repairing the main line and the supporting lines for two equipments
upwards must be carried out strictly. It is only allow to turn on power again for these cables
after they are checked very carefully and reported (in writing) of the people in charge of
repairing equipment.

After switch off the power for repairing separately, need to lock the switch and hang the sign
not allow to re-switch on or assign someone to monitor this switch, avoid the case of re-
switching on while someone is still repairing.

It only allows to replace the lead in the fuse as the power is off. Otherwise, it only to use the
cartridge or cover fuse but must install the loading support. When replace the on-going
cartridge fuse, need to have the safety glass, rubber gloves or the insulating tools and stand on
the carpet or wear insulated boots.

Do not allow to replace the on-going fuse board type. When use ladder to replace the fuse at
the high position while the power is still on, need to assign someone to be one duty of electric
underside.

Do not allow to remove and install the electrical lights while the power is not off. In case that it
is impossible to cut off power, the worker must wear the insulated gloves and safety glass.

Do not allow to use the fixed lights as the hand-held lights. Where there is risks on power, need
to use the lights not over 36V of voltage. The hand-held lights must have the metal mesh to
protect the light, the cable is the rubber covered type, taking power through the socket. The
plug and socket used the voltage not over 36V must structured and painted color identified with
the higher voltage plug and socket.

The lights for working place must put at the altitude and inclined angle suitably so that they
cannot create dazzling from the direct flash of light.

Do not allow to use electrical equipments on the site if they are not suitable for their ambient
environment

Do not allow to use the electrical source on the site (constructing power, lighting power) for the
protective fence of the site. In special necessary case, there must be approval from authorized

organs.

The hand-held electrical tools (electrical tools, mobile lights, safety voltage reducing equipment,
the frequency altering machine …) need to be calibrated at least once per 3 months on some
phenomena such as: shock on the machine coat, the status of protective earthed lines, and at
least once per month for the insulating of the cable, the power supply and the power opening.
For the mobile transformer alone, besides the above mentioned points, need to inspect the
electrical leakage of the insulator’s high and low voltage coils.

The electrical source of the lights and hand-held equipments must have the voltage not over
36V and take directly from the mobile safe transformer. Do not allow to use self-altering
transformer.

It is allow to connect the electrical motors, tools, light and other equipments into the electrical
network by the allowed accessories. Do not allow to connect by turning or twisting the cables’
ends.

The electrical worker on the site must be equipped the insulated protective facilities and PPE
(protective personal equipment) following current law.

All the protective tools must specify clearly date of calibration. The periodical calibrated time
must follow the current standards and regulations. The protective tools in rubber must be
preserved carefully in store; do not allow to put near petroleum, oil, grease and other
substances possible to destroyed them.

Before use the rubber protective tools, need to check carefully and clean dust. In case that their
surface is wet, need to clean and dry them.

Do not allow to use the protective facilities when they are not tested, inspected, bore, tore or
cracked …

For outdoor electric cable of temporary supplying construction, need to use the cable with cover
and led into a pole with insulated china. The distance between cable and ground or working
floor in vertical direction is not less than the following values:

 2.5m if the underside is working area (do not use equipment & tool over the arm’s
reach of people);

 3.5m if the underside is the path;

 6.0 m if the underside is the road with transportation vehicle crossing through.

 6.5m if the underside has got train or tramcar passing through (calculated from the
rail surface)

The soft cable line in building construction which will supply power for mobile machine &
equipment or supply power temporarily need to have protective methods, prevent from
damaging the cable. Where the cable runs through the road, need to hang it in a high position
or insert it into a steel conduit, shaped steel conduit and burry it underground. If the cable is in
the area of bomb explosion; before exploding the bomb, cut off power going through cable.
After exploded, need to inspect, detect the damages and repair before re-supply the power for
the cable line.

The electrical welding equipment (generator, welding transformer) when connected with the
power source must go through the on-off equipment. On-off equipment must put in the place
easy to operate, around 2 – 20 m away from the welding position. When operating electrical
welding in the high position, there must be two people: one for welding and the other for
supervising. The supervising worker must follow up the welding work in order to switch off the
power once the problem occurs.

When welding manually with soldering stick, need to use two cables: one connected with
welding pliers, the other (reversed cable) connected with welding item. The pole of the
secondary coil of the reversed welding transformer connected with the reversed cable and
earthed now.

The cable for electrical welding must have the insulated cover and in the right voltage level and
section which can load the electrical current for the maximum welding mode. The cable’s
connection must be ensure in good condition, avoid getting hot due to bad contact and need to
be winded by insulating tape. Do not allow the welding cable to cross through the dynamic
feeding line. Otherwise, need to put the welding cable under the dynamic cable.

Do not allow the usage of earthed mesh’s cable, water supplying pipe, steam pipe, house’s
metal structure, technology equipment as the reversed cable in electrical welding.

During using electrical equipments in the building construction, it is a compulsory to fix the
