1 INTRODUCTION

This method statement describes the details and sequence for the ELS works.

2 CONSTRUCTION WORKS

2.1 Preparation Works

i) Before commencement of ELS works, monitoring check points shall be installed

around the site.

ii) Site Safety Induction should be carried out before commencement of work.

iii) Setting out of pipe pile locution shall be marked on site for inspection before

commencement.

2.2 Working Procedures

Welding

Step 1: Setting out for wailing level and strut locution shall refer to ELS layout plan
attached in Appendix A.

Step 2: Check that survey points have been installed and are regularly monitored and the
results kept on site. Check those positions of pipe pile, or other supports does not
conflict with services or adjoining foundations.

Step 3: Excavate to the first layer wailing (e.g. mPD 43.93). Excavate downwards by an
additional 300mm-500mm to provide enough working space for the welder.

 Step 4: Prior welding operation, contractor shall ensure cleanness at welding joint. All
improper materials (e.g. slag, dirt, irregularities, oil etc.) shall be removed from
joints prior to welding.

Step 5: Weld the 203*203*86UC in the appropriate position to pipe pile. as a platform to
support the I-beam, then weld the I-beam to pipe pile wall. Once wailing is
completed. weld strut to kicker.

Step 6: Conduct welding inspection afterwards, and ensure sufficient support is achieved
upon receiving the report before proceeding to excavate to the second layer
wailing (e.g. mPD +41.93).

Step 7: Carry out excavation to the lines, level, dimensions and slope specified.

Step 8: When excavating, start digging until the first temporary wailing level is reached,
the welding process of that wailing should be completed first, and then inspected.
Only after completion can excavation proceed to the second wailing level to
ensure that the excavation process is carried out without affecting public facilities.

Step 10: Excavate in such a manner that suitable material is kept separate and store in
temporary spoil heaps, where required for use in the works without contamination
by unsuitable material or deterioration. Where in the opinion of the
AP/RSE/RGE, suitable material has become contaminated by unsuitable material
or allowed to deteriorate, this material shall be removed from site and replaced
with suitable imported material at the contractor’s expense.

2.3 Submission and Record

i) Inspection form should be submitted by Contractor before works commencement.

4 HEALTH AND SAFETY

4.1 Manpower
i) All Personnel will complete the Construction Industry Safety Training Certificate

(Green Card).

ii) All workers will undergo a safety induction course before the commencement of works

on site.

iii) Pre-work briefing will be provided before commencement of work.

iv) The appropriate PPE shall be worn.

v) All workers working at height are to be equipped with full-body type safety harness

with suitable lanyards and secure anchorage for the attachment of safety harnesses.

4.2 Equipment
i) The emergency contact list will be displayed near the gate.

ii) The protection barrier will be provided during the works.

iii) An effective ventilation system shall be provided to keep the air quality in the working

area at an acceptable level.

Method Statement for Pipe Pile

 iv) All lifting gear including lifting clamp should be tested and thoroughly examinated by

RPE.

v) All machine, equipment and lifting gear shall be checked by site safety team.

vi) The design of lifting eye should be certified by Independent Checking Engineer.

vii) Spare lifting gears shall be provided to prevent inappropriate equipment were used.

4.3 Safe Lifting Procedures

i) Rigger or Signalman should be fenced off the lifting area and make sure no one stay

inside the lifting zone prior to lifting commence.

ii) The Plant operator should verify the instruction on lifting operation before taking

action.

iii) Lifting Clamp or Lifting Eye should be used to lifting circular hollow and steel

reinforcement.

iv) The Rigger or Signalman should keep well communication with the plant operator by

using walkie-talkie and signal.

v) During lifting, in order to prevent the swing of the object, a 3-4m long tagline shall be

attached to the lifting object and controlled by Rigger or Signalman.

vi) Prior to lifting operation, the balance conditions shall be checked at about 0.5m above

ground.

vii) Rigger or Signalman must stop the work if any abnormal operation is observed.

Material storage zone should be set up and fenced off. During lifting operation, only

Rigger or Signalman stays inside the storage zone to help processing lifting.

viii) A color coding system shall be adopted on all lifting gears such as wire ropes and

slings, etc. The color system is Blue (Jan – Mar), Yellow (Apr – Jun), Green (Jul –

Sep) and Orange (Oct – Dec).

5 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

i) Sump pit will be set up at suitable location to collect the fluid and pump to settlement
tanks prior to discharging to the drainage system during pile installation.

ii) All cement bags and grout bags will be placed in the disposal bin on site.

iii) Emission generated by mechanical plant shall be monitored and controlled.
