CHAPTER TWO:
This is to explain the arrangements and methods proposed to adopt for the
execution of Mio Health Centre Staff Residence Construction Project on the basis of
the scope of work outlined in the bill of quantities, contract drawings and
specification thereof. Accordingly, the work program consists of a detail work
method statement of each particular construction activities by their category or
type and the requirements of different resources for each of particular activities
i.e., manpower, equipment and machineries, materials, etc. to achieve the
completion of the construction in accordance with the given contractual
obligations. To make it compatible with actual changing circumstances, delays or
amendments to the work ordered by the Engineer, this method statement is
subjected to be reviewed in due course of time.
The main operations included in this part of the project phase, but not limited, are
staffing and mobilizing Contractor’s key personnel to the site which have been
organized as Mio Health Centre Staff Residence Construction Project Team and
backed with experienced personnel. The investigation and assessment of the
availability of the required quantity and quality of the necessary labor and local
construction materials i.e., sand, water, stones, gravels etc., will be undertaken
during this stage. As usual, all material to be incorporated in works and
workmanship will be strictly of the respective kinds described in the contract and
in accordance with the Engineer’s instructions. In order to produce work which
conforms in quality and accuracy of dimensions to the requirements of
specification and drawings, a Quality control system with experienced staff,
together with all necessary facilities to ensure adequate supervision and positive
control of the works at all times ,will be implemented at site
We also study the duration and intensity of the rainfall by collecting data from
local villagers, work schedule reflects the prevailing weather condition.
As set out in drawings and BOQ, the principal items of work to be executed under
this contract are likely to include but are not limited to the following:
Construction procedure for each of the above mentioned activity is briefly presented on
following pages:
2.2.1 Mobilization
The mobilization of the project facilities, manpower, and light and heavy duty
equipment’s will be done step by step following the construction work schedule,
which gets earlier approval by the client, from their existing locations in order to
meet the proposed construction schedule. The necessary construction materials
required for the construction contractor’s temporary facilities: - site offices,
material stores, equipment stores, and guard house will be supplied at appropriate
location,
The required equipment for this particular project will be mobilized as per the
proposed equipment mobilization schedule attached here in with.
The necessary skilled and unskilled manpower will be deployed to the project site
as per the proposed schedule. The site organization and the assignment of key
personnel assigned is acquired by the contractor, this will be communicated to the
consultant and the client, and such change will only be effected if and only if
approval is given from the consultant and the client.
High quality cements, reinforcing bars, sand stones, nails, and other construction
materials will be delivered after sample approval of the assigned engineer. Also
Considering the constraint of space within the vicinity of construction site, the
required amounts of bar benders shade and other necessary shades will be
constructed on this stage.
Every of the above step will go through all the necessary test processes and will be
ready for use after the approval is granted by the resident engineer.
Prior to the start of the execution of the works, a survey will be executed arranged
by the contractor showing the condition of the existing and adjacent structures.
The location of any defect found will be determined and described. The result is to
be presented to the Engineer .We will appoint and employ the necessary qualified
and experienced staff to set out the work accurately including all necessary
chainmen. It will set out the works well in advance and in sufficient time to enable
the engineer to inspect and approve prior to commencement of the works.
Topography survey of the site will be performed by a senior surveyor and will
check the accuracy of the levels shown on the drawings or the directions given by
the engineer. This will establish an approved primary bench mark and a base line
on which all subsequent setting out will be based. Following this and prior to
construction activities, job/sit/ layout will be prepared and temporary facilities
construction will be commenced. Setting out will be done at every structural level.
The construction begins first by organizing the necessary work crews and then the
first activity will be to locate exact position of block as per the detail plan and
sections using surveying equipment. After locating the positions, the construction
work starts from earth work.
All excavation will be carried out to the lines, levels, widths, depths and grades shown on the drawings or
as directed by the engineer and as appropriate to the works to be placed in the excavation.
We shall examine the site carefully and will ascertain the nature and kind of
materials to be excavated.
Surplus excavated material will be removed from time to time to the appropriate
dumping ground.
2.3.2.3 Gravel
- Gravel used for concrete works will have a size of 20mm which is prepared and
produced by crusher. The stone for production of gravel will come from
quarries found around Adama city. For testing the stone whether it is basaltic
or not, a prior tests conducted by compressive strength machine will determine
the approval of this material by the engineer.
2.3.2.4 Sand
- Sand (fine and coarse) will be supplied from quarries found around Adama city
which will approve by the engineer, but before supplying, test will be
conducted. The gradation and cleanness will be as per the standards given in
the contract document.
Prior to every concrete activity formwork placing will be performed carefully and
will be prepared for the next day so that concrete will be filled. Before every
concreting step the construction engineer will check for its appropriate erection
and will give an order for the general Forman to proceed. This step is critical for
best concrete results and for structural reasons. Needed materials will be
delivered in bulk to the site during mobilization this includes ply wood, timber,
eucalyptus, nails and other necessary tools. Well Experienced man Power will be
assigned to carry out the work.
Mix design will be prepared at site and given for approval, and then concrete cube
samples will be taken for each class of concrete.
Slump test will be conducted during mixing of concretes and the slump should be
within limits given or supplied by the engineer.
b) Concrete mix
c) Transport of concretes.
One cone consistency (slump) test will be carried out when a test sample for
compressive and or tensile strength is made.
