1 INTRODUCTION

This method statement describes the details and sequence for the pipe pile works.

2 CONSTRUCTION WORKS

2.1 Preparation Works

i) Site Safety Induction should be carried out before commencement of work.

ii) Setting out of steel platform shall be marked on site for inspection before

commencement.

2.2 Working Procedures

2.2.1 Steel Platform

Step 1: Pile location will be setting out according to the approved drawing Appendix A.

Step 2: The existing ground level at the pile location will be recorded by conventional
land surveying method.

Step 3: Setting out the location of Φ610 pipe based on the layout plan in accordance with
the working drawings and approved by Engineer on site.

Step 4: Rockhead and founding level shall be confirmed and agreed by Engineer.

Step 5: A of holes with diameter 610mm O/D x 12mm THK. casing shall be drilled from
ground level to rockhead.

Step 6: The steel casing was sunk into the drill hole by Ring bit method; erection the
305*305*223kg/m I-beam, it as permanents casing will be extracted when
grouting of the drill hole. After pile installation, the temporary steel platform
should be erected.

Step 7: Setting out the layout of the temporary steel platform, such as level, area.

 Step 8: Weld the Main Beam and secondary beam for the temporary steel platform.

Step 9: Erect the sheet pile (TYPE III) for the desk of the temporary steel platform.

Step 10: Inspection the steel platform.

2.3 Submission and Record

i) Inspection form should be submitted by Contractor before works commencement.

ii) Laboratory testing report.

4 HEALTH AND SAFETY

4.1 Manpower
i) All Personnel will complete the Construction Industry Safety Training Certificate

(Green Card).

Method Statement for Steel Platform

 ii) All workers will undergo a safety induction course before the commencement of works

on site.

iii) Pre-work briefing will be provided before commencement of work.

iv) The appropriate PPE shall be worn.

v) All workers working at height are to be equipped with full-body type safety harness

with suitable lanyards and secure anchorage for the attachment of safety harnesses.

4.2 Equipment
i) The emergency contact list will be displayed near the gate.

ii) The protection barrier will be provided during the works.

iii) An effective ventilation system shall be provided to keep the air quality in the working

area at an acceptable level.

iv) All lifting gear including lifting clamp should be tested and thoroughly examinate by

RPE.

v) All machine, equipment and lifting gear shall be checked by site safety team.

vi) The design of lifting eye should be certified by Independent Checking Engineer.

vii) Spare lifting gears shall be provided to prevent inappropriate equipment were used.

4.3 Safe Lifting Procedures

i) Rigger or Signalman should be fenced off the lifting area and make sure no one stay

inside the lifting zone prior to lifting commence.

ii) The Plant operator should verify the instruction on lifting operation before taking

action.

iii) Lifting Clamp or Lifting Eye should be used to lifting circular hollow and steel

reinforcement.

iv) The Rigger or Signalman should keep well communication with the plant operator by

using walkie-talkie and signal.

Method Statement for Steel Platform

 v) During lifting, in order to prevent the swing of the object, a 3-4m long tagline shall be

attached to the lifting object and controlled by Rigger or Signalman.

vi) Prior to lifting operation, the balance conditions shall be checked at about 0.5m above

ground.

vii) Rigger or Signalman must stop the work if any abnormal operation is observed.

Material storage zone should be set up and fenced off. During lifting operation, only

Rigger or Signalman stays inside the storage zone to help processing lifting.

viii) A color coding system shall be adopted on all lifting gears such as wire ropes and

slings, etc. The color system is Blue (Jan – Mar), Yellow (Apr – Jun), Green (Jul –

Sep) and Orange (Oct – Dec).

5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

i) Sump pit will be set up at suitable location to collect the fluid and pump to settlement
tanks prior to discharging to the drainage system during pile installation.

ii) All cement bags and grout bags will be placed in the disposal bin on site.

iii) Emission generated by mechanical plant shall be monitored and controlled.
