Introduction This method statement for dredging is prepared in accordance with Specification and Construction , Drawings and the comments from PMR on 26/5/97 and 11/6/97. Xt covers the following items of works. 1.1 Dredging the marine deposit in trench of Quay wall foundation in H1. 2. Plants ® All the mud dredging will be carried out by grab dredger and transported by bottom discharge split / hopper barges which is being accepted by EPD. 2.1 Plant List The following plants will be employed for the execution of works, All plants will be licensed in accordance with the requirements of the Marine Department of Hong Kong. e Plant Capacity No. Employed Grab Dredger 8 cum. 1 Split / Hopper barges 900-1000 cum. 4-6 Tug Boat 800 hp- 1200 hp 3-53. Permit Relevant permits necessary for the dredging works will be applied for and obtained prior to commencement of works, and the status is as below: Item Permit 1 ‘ Notice to Mariners 2 Dumping Permit 4. Control of Position and Level 4.1 Horizontal Control The setting out for the dredging operation will be based on a 10m x 30m grid system dredging box. The position of the dredger will be controlled by sighting the target flags erected on shore. In area which is far away from the shoreline where the target flags are difficult to located from the dredger, DGPS will be employed. The anchors are dropped such that the dredger can cover a sufficiently large area. The dredger can be winched laterally and longitudinally by adjusting the anchor wire to the desired grid. 4.2 Vertical Control The vertical control of dredging will be by means of chain sounding. A tide gauge will be installed firmly 4at a suitable location within the site area by surveyors to give water level. The dredgers will be provided with markings on the lifting wire. The dredged depth will be frequently monitored by chain sounding on board for every meter shift so as to ensure that the design profile is met. 5. Sequence of Works Sequence of Dredging for marine deposit in the breakwater trench. The pre-dredging and initial survey of the existing seabed will be carried out by the approved hydrographic surveyor prior to the commencement of dredging. The above survey will be combined depending on the time gap. One grab dredgers in associated with a fleet of 2 tug boats and 3 split/hopper barges will be employed for the dredging works. The dredger will be moored by four anchors and the position will be checked frequently. The dredging work will be divided into two phases, since the dredge material is considered as uncontaminated mud. Firstly, the bulk dredging operation based on the grid plan of 10m x 30m and secondly the trimming operation will be based on the grid plan of 6m x 6m.Bulk Dredging works will be carried out in phase 1 in layers until 1-1/2 meter above the designed level is reached. The phase 2 trimming operation will be carried out. The dredged mud will be dumped to the designated dumping ground. All the barges have also been provided with the GPS system to ensure the contaminated mud has been dumped in the proper dumping ground. Trimming operation will be carried out based on the grid plan of 6m x 6m. Once the designed dredged level and/ or hard stratum (alluvium) has been reached, the Engineer will be notified immediately. Grab sampling will be employed for allocate the dredge level and position. All the samples will be kept on board. The grab sample will be kept inside a plastic bag with label stated the level and position of the sample taken. The post survey will again be carried out before the commencement of filling works. The area close to the Ro Ro Ramp will be trimmed at the last, and filling operation will be the first. The bulk dredging operation will be ceased 4m above the design profile the cover area of 40m away from the existing Ro Ro Ramp will be trimmed at last of the whole trench. While dredging near the existing shore, a checking point for stability will be erected for monitoring the stability. (Detail monitoring will be submit Separately)6. Environmental mitigation measures The dredging of marine deposit will be by grab dredger.. Barges used for the transportation of dredged mud will be hopper / split type fitted with tubber strip seals at bottom to prevent the leakage of mud. This combination of plants complies with the current requirements of environmental control and is encouraged by EPD. 7. Navigation aspects and aids The boundary line for the marine work area, including the operation of rock removal from the existing breakwater and the dredging operation in the main trench of the breakwater foundation, will be indicated by buoys painted in yellow, and with yellow flash light installed. A work boat will be employed for safe guard the marine traffic while the marine operation is carrying out, in order to keep the marine access in safe condition. Life jackets will be provided to all the crews on board. 8. Record Daily operation will be recorded in daily record sheet, which will be submitted the day after.11.
