1. PURPOSE & SCOPE

This method statement outlines the procedures and precautions to be taken for the construction of an access road. The purpose of the access road is to provide a safe and reliable route
for construction vehicles and equipment to access the construction site.

This method statement covers the construction of the access road from the point of entry to the construction site to the designated parking area. The road will be approximately 200
meters long and 6 meters wide, and will be constructed using compacted gravel.

2. DEFINATION & ABBREVIATION

1. Access Road: A road built for the purpose of allowing construction vehicles and equipment to access a construction site.

2. Excavator: A machine used for digging and moving large amounts of soil, rock, or other materials.

3. Grader: A machine used for leveling and smoothing the surface of a road or other construction site.

4. Roller: A machine used for compacting soil, gravel, or other materials.

5. Geotextile Fabric: A permeable textile material used in construction to improve soil stability, prevent erosion, and provide drainage.

6. Subgrade: The natural or prepared soil or rock underlying a pavement or other construction.

7. Gravel Layer: A layer of crushed rock or gravel used to provide a stable base for a road or other construction.

8. Density: The measure of the compactness of a material, often expressed as the mass per unit volume.

9. Road Markers: Devices used to indicate the edge of a road, guide drivers, and prevent accidents.

10. Drainage Ditches: Trenches or channels dug alongside a road or other construction to divert water away from the surface.

11. Bollards: Short vertical posts used to protect areas or guide traffic.

12. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Clothing and equipment designed to protect workers from hazards in the workplace.

Marking paint

6. PROCEDURE

1. a. Site Preparation

Clear the vegetation and debris from the proposed road alignment.
Mark the road alignment using marking paint.
Excavate the topsoil to a depth of 150 mm along the road alignment.

b. Subgrade Preparation

Compact the excavated subgrade using a roller.

Fill any depressions with additional soil and compact again.
Install a geotextile fabric on top of the subgrade to prevent mixing of the subgrade and the gravel layer.

c. Gravel Layer Installation

Spread the compacted gravel layer evenly over the subgrade to a depth of 150 mm.
Compact the gravel layer using a roller.
Repeat the process until the gravel layer reaches a final thickness of 300 mm.

d. Surface Preparation

Grade the surface of the gravel layer using a grader to provide a smooth and even surface.
Spray the surface with water to help settle the gravel.

e. Final Compaction

Use a roller to compact the surface of the gravel layer to achieve the required density.
Repeat the process until the required density is achieved.

f. Finishing

Install road markers at regular intervals to guide drivers and prevent accidents.
Install drainage ditches on either side of the road to prevent water from accumulating on the surface.
Install bollards or barriers to prevent vehicles from leaving the road.

1. Safety Precautions

All personnel involved in the construction process must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at all times.
All equipment used on the site must be in good working condition and maintained regularly.
Adequate traffic control measures must be implemented to protect workers and motorists.
Any hazardous materials or substances must be handled and disposed of in accordance with relevant regulations and guidelines.
All works must be conducted in accordance with local and national safety regulations and guidelines.

7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. Quality Control

All construction works must be carried out in accordance with the specifications and drawings.
Regular inspections must be carried out to ensure that the works are being carried out in accordance with the method statement.
All materials used on the site must be tested and certified as suitable for the construction of the access road.
