2.4. Site Planning and Preparation

Encroachment permit will be obtained first before starting of any activity in the site. Once the area is
determined and granted, the safety personnel will established the perimeter barricade to warn others
and to prevent the public from entering the worksite. If rerouting is necessary the safety personnel will
establish first the rerouting of access roads and install warning devices to warn passing traffic in the
area. Once all necessary equipment is positioned, commenced the preparatory job, this isolation
method will be strongly employed throughout the duration of the project to prevent hazard to the public.
Also a Safety watchman will be kept continuously for public and workers safety
2.5. Work Methodology

2.5.1. Access Road and Mobilisation

 An access road will be provided for utility vehicle and heavy transportation for site
construction and a site lay down for storing the delivered materials required for the project.
 Install hard and soft barricades with rope line and warning tape around the work site.
 To control the dust in access road, the road will be compacted and paved with gravel or
regular spraying of water will be provided.
 There will be one way traffic in operation to access road, with a signed speed limit of 20kmph.

2.5.2. Installation of Traffic Sign and Warning Sign

 Traffic sign and warning sign will be established in all the required area which will be written
in Arabic and English.
 Traffic signs will be installed at approaches to site and on site, parking areas and elsewhere
as needed to direct construction and affected public traffic.
 Flag person shall be provided to regulate traffic when construction operations or
traffic encroach on public traffic lanes. Flagman will be in an elevated position with
physical hard barriers.

2.5.3. Installation of Hard barricade and Safety Pole

signs will be provided as per RC Roads Dept. in Arabic and English languages.
 Barricade or rope line for safety for separation of machine/ heavy equipment from the workers
during the demolition and excavation
 Provide hard barricading and roping line and warning sign near the slope of demolished
existing structure and excavated area, to aware the operator its limit and to the
worker/personnel on site. And install reverse stopper to prevent the vehicle overrunning the
edge of excavation

2.5.4. Diversion of flow of water along existing channel

 Construct a temporary detour structure to divert the water flow away from the open
excavation or the working area if required or provide a dewatering pump in order to make the
channel dry in parts in order to proceed with the repair work. (Refer Appendix-01 for sketch)
 Divert the flow of water by opening the drainage channel across to the open space area that
link the temporary channel from and to the existing drainage channel. Make the working area
more spacious and have big clearance for construction activities.
 Blocking the flow of water from drainage channel using sand bags fill of sand and excavated
materials stock piled at the adjacent area, from the approach and to the outlet of the existing
culvert to avoid seepage near the drainage channel to be replaced.

Method Statement for the Drainage

excavation. The excavation of the channel will be done at replacement area only as
shown in sketch and shop drawing. (Refer Appendix-2 and 2A respectively for details)
 Slopes of excavation shall be cut at the angle of repose for the soil conditions.
 All spoil material excavated must be kept a distance away from the edge equal to the depth of
the excavation.
 During excavation maintain the minimum distance from the slope of existing structure at least
2 meter from moving equipment. Barricades and warning signs shall be identified at the
excavation.
 Stakes, control survey points, and benchmarks shall be establish and maintained during
construction activities.
 Provide adequate sheeting, bracing, shoring and other support to the sides and ends of all
excavation to provide the safety of all workers and to prevent the occurrence of falls or runs
