as damage to equipment and properties during the entire construction period. In order to
ensure a safe working environment during the entire construction period, the following
safety measures will be implemented:
5.1 Machinery and Equipment:
- Prior to using any machinery’s/equipment at site, it shall be inspected and
cettified by qualified person.
- Periodic Preventive Maintenance shall be made on all equipment and
machineries.
= All operators and drivers are to be equipped with valid driver’s/operator’s
license or permit from concemed goverment agency.

Ms00605-Page 2/7Method Statement
Title: General-Foundations
- Wearing of the basic PPE shall be enforced fully.
5.3 Safety Arrangement during the Foundation Worl
- Emergency Action Plan ~ refer to Appendix-B
Note:
All new recruits shail undergo proper orientation and safety induction before they are
deployed at site for work,
6.0 Work Procedure
6.1 Preparation of Works:
* Foundation works will not commence until confirmation that all pre-construction
planning and safety checks are completed,
© The supervisor shall be familiar with the latest construction drawings and method
statements.
* Plant and equipment requirements will be assessed on a case-by-case basis for each
foundation location and agreed with the TNC Construction Manager prior to starting
the works
6.2 Survey and Setting out
* Before work starts TNC survey department will establish baselines and benchmarks
from which co-ordinates and elevations will be taken to set out the foundation works.
6.3 Excavation
+ Excavations will generally be executed in open cut to the size, slope and elevation
shown on the construction drawings and/or design calculations.
© Survey will verify set out and check edge slope and bottom founding level of
excavation.
* Excavation will be camied out with excavator and the excavated material loaded
directly into dump truck and transported to temporary stockpile area,
* A small bucket or manual digging will be used when excavating between piles.
* The final bottom founding level under each foundation will be inspected by QC and
‘tamped or compacted as per design requirements before pouring blinding concrete,
* For a description of all related work activities refer to MS0SO1-General method
statement for open-cut excavations.
64 Dewatering
* From the site soil report the relative groundwater level is approx, -2.5m below
existing ground level
MS00605-Page 3/7Method Statement
Title: Gencral-Foundations
© During excavation and after reaching the required excavation level a dewatering
system will be installed as required and any water discharged to the vicinity drainage
pits
‘+ For a description of all related work activities refer to MS0S06-General method
statement for dewatering excavations.
65 Piles (where applicable)
Following final excavation the piles will be cut down to design pile cut off level.
Removed sections will be lifted out and taken to designated disposal area.
Afier cleaning, the pile head treatment will be done to connect pile to foundation.
For a description of all related work activities refer to MS0405-Method statement for
ile cut-off.
6.6 Blinding Concrete
* Bottom of the excavation should be dry and tamped or compacted to a uniform level
before pouring the 50mm thick lean concrete blinding layer.
* For a description of all related work activities refer to MS0601-General method
statement for conerete.
627 Foundation
‘* After QC inspection of the prepared founding level and lean concrete base layer then
construction of the foundation will follow.
6.7.1 Rebar
© Rebars will be cut and bent on site in line with the agreed construction sequence.
¢ Installation of rebar will begin as soon as blinding concrete has hardened enough for
trafficking (normally 12 hours)
A mobile truck crane and/or manual workers will be used for rebar installation,
Rebar placement sequence will follow the latest rebar construction shop drawings.
Suitable concrete spacers will be used to achieve the desired covers and additional
rebar spacers will be installed to maintain support of top steel and any cast-in items.
* All pedestal column starter bars and cast-in anchor bolts will be accurately located
and securely fixed in the correct position.
© Location, spacing, verticality and cover shall be checked during the installation
process and QC will make a final inspection prior to calling up concrete.
© For a full description of all work activities refer to MS0602-General Method
Statement for Rebar.
6.7.2 Formwork
+ The formwork system to be adopted for each foundation type and size will be as
specified in approved calculations prepared by the Temporary Works Design
MS00605-Page 4/7Method Statement
Title: Gencral-Foundations
Engineer. The different types of formwork for site installation purposes are
summarized in Table 27722in Appendix 2777272?
* Plywood sheathing with timber and steel props will be used for formwork and manual
labour will be used for lifting and placing according to survey-lines of the foundation
outline.
© Approved form release agent is applied prior to lifting-in and erection of the clean
forms.
¢ Forms are connected tightly together and braced to the excavation profile or waling in
the case of sheet pile wall.
* For a full description of all work activities refer to MS0603-General Method
Statement for Formwork.
6.7.3 Concrete
* 1 no concrete pump will be available (with back-up pump) for placing concrete at a
rate of around 35-40m3/hr. In some cases pouring concrete will be done by bucket
and 25T mobile crane at a rate of 10-1Shr.
A minimum of 4nos of 50mm vibrators shall be used for compaction,
Unless agreed otherwise the foundations will be poured at one time in layers, starting
from the centre and spreading out to each side. CHECK IF CORRECT!
Keep concrete alive without performing any cold joints.
Manual tools and float are used to finish the top surface.
For a full description of all work activities refer to MS0601-General Method
Statement for Concrete.
6.8 Embedded Items
* All embedded items and cast-in anchor bolts shall be placed to the specified
installation tolerances shown on the construction drawings,
© Special care will be taken to place and maintain embedded materials to the proper
setting location to prevent movement during the progress of the work and to tamp
concrete thoroughly around them,
* For a fill description of all work activities refer to MS0901- General Method
Statement for embedded items,
6.9 Repair and Touch-up,
* After striking of forms a QC inspection will be conducted to decide whether any
repairs to the concrete surfaces are necessary.
© Fora full description of concrete repair procedures and materials to be used refer to
MS0604- General Method Statement for Concrete repair and touch-up.
6.10 Backfilling
MS00605-Page 5/7Method Statement
Title: General-Foundations
Backiilling operations will be exccuted in two (2) stages using suitable excavated
sand material,
The first stage fill will be placed up to the top of foundation level and will commence
as soon as formwork has been removed and QC inspection of foundation is approved.
NOTE: If this method is adopted then curing of the foundation will be done
using?????curingcompound dete .
Backfilling will be done in loose layers not more than 250mm in thicknes
Suitable vibrator plate/rollers and/or water will be used to achieve the compaction
requirements for each layer field density test will be performed to check the soil
compaction 095% maximum dry density,
Any embedded cableway conduits and earthing/grounding wires, drainage pipes and
trenches etc. should be installed simultaneously with the backfilling layers.
After completion of the concrete pedestal then the second stage fill will be carried out
up to grade level below proposed finished ground level
For a full description of all work activities refer to MS0S0S- General Method
Statement for backfilling of excavations.
6.11 Pedestal
Formwork will be made using plywood form panels in sizes to suit manual
installation and dismantling.
All construction joints will be properly prepared at location indicated on the
construction shop drawings.
For general construction details and work procedures refer to General Method
Statements for Rebar, formwork and conerete.
