5. REPAIR / REMEDIAL METHODS

The Consultant must approve all Repairs and remedial methods presented herein.

5.1. MATERIAL

5.1.1. Verify that material defects or distortion, if any, are corrected with an approved
or suitable method.
5.1.2. Application of localized heat is permitted for straightening members; this must be
done carefully so as not to exceed temperature limitations that would adversely
affect the properties of the steel quenched, and tempered steels should not be
above 1100 degrees Fahrenheit because deterioration of mechanical properties may
result from an undesirable microstructure when cooled to room temperature. Other
steel should not be heated above 1200 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid the possibility
of unwanted transportation products or grain coarsening, or both.

6. CONTROL / STORAGE / PROTECTION OF SPECIFIC MATERIALS

6.1. MATERIAL RECEIVING

6.1.1. Upon the arrival of materials at the site staging area, the material controller will
match delivery notes and verify each material's shop mark. The material controller
then reports to the site supervisor the received materials list and quality condition.
6.1.2. The site supervisor for ant damages shall visually inspect all material received at
the site. Remedial works to the damaged area should be done immediately, if
possible, to avoid delay in the erection.
6.1.3. The material Delivery Inspection form is then produced and signed off by NEW
BLOC and QA-MDBI, respectively.

9|P a ge
 6.2. MATERIAL HANDLING
6.2.1. The delivery note is always enclosed with the list of supplied materials with the
project's name, location, type grade of materials, quantity, and delivery date.
6.2.2. Unloading will be done with cranes. A lifting belt with a suitable SWL and proper
certificate shall be used for unloading the materials to minimize damage. Be sure to
hook belts to components with the right no. of points.
6.2.3. Attached necessary taglines and lifting lines to the lifting components at the
bottom.
6.2.4. Proper stacking and staging will be observed.

6.3. MATERIAL STORAGE AND PROTECTION

6.3.1. Choose Firm and Dry Staging area for materials storage.
6.3.2. Materials should be stored above ground and within range of Tower Crane.
6.3.3. Upon unloading materials, proper staging and stacking will be observed to prevent
damage and wearing of paints
6.3.4. Materials shall be kept free from dirt, grease, and other foreign materials and
protected from road splash.
6.3.5. Bolts, nuts, and washers shall be suitably packed, identified, and stored in a proper
warehouse.
6.3.6. Materials should be elevated above ground level to keep water out.

7. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS

7.1. ELEMENTS OF ENVIRONMENT SAFETY & HEALTH PLAN (ES & H)
7.1.1. These listed plan elements cover minimum areas, assessed by Project in Charge
and by the Safety Engineer.

providing and obtaining emergency medical care.

7.3. HAZARD MANAGEMENT

7.3.1. New Bloc Construction Inc. will formulate a plan to deal with recognized hazards
by any method employed in the successful elimination of hazards, i.e., designate
employee Safety Observer. or describe as a part of the duties of the named
employee.

10 | P a g e
 7.4. HAZARD NOTIFICATION
7.4.1. New Bloc Construction Inc. shall make every effort to inform project personnel o
the job site of all existing hazards. This notification can be part of a pre-job
orientation or toolbox session but must be covered each day until the hazard has
been eliminated.

7.5. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

7.5.1. The company will provide and require the use of equipment necessary to protect
from hazards of the job. The specification, selection, issue, and use of the protective
equipment will be controlled by the safety or project in charge in line with good
construction practice.

7.6. JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS (JHA)

7.6.1. Job Hazard Analysis specifically addresses common hazards or work elements
required to complete a specific job. This method identifies key job steps, tools or
equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for significant and repetitive
jobs.
7.6.2. A Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) addressing the safety and health hazard risk and
subsequent hazard assessment shall be prepared for project work tasks and
operations.
7.6.3. The JHA shall be prepared by the NEW BLOC project safety and health officer. The
requirements of the JHA shall be incorporated into hazardous work permits and
project and safety and health plans as appropriate.

8.1.2. WELDING INSPECTION

8.1.2.1. A widely applied and low-cost inspection method is used to locate
surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals).
8.1.2.1.1. The test surface is cleaned to remove any dirt, paint, oil, grease, or
any loose scale that could either keep penetrant out of a defect or cause
irrelevant or false indications
8.1.2.1.2. The penetrant is then applied to the surface of the item being
tested
8.1.2.1.3. The penetrant is allowed "dwell time" to soak into any flaws
8.1.2.1.4. Excess penetrant is then removed from the surface
8.1.2.1.5. After excess penetrant has been removed, a white developer is
applied to the sample. The developer draws penetrant from defects out
onto the surface to form a visible indication, commonly known as bleed-
out
8.1.2.1.6. The inspector will use visible light with adequate intensity for
visible dye penetrant
