Material shall be stored in a covered / dry space at all the time to avoid corrosion.
All materials received at site shall be inspected and ensured that the materials are as
per approved material submittal.
Any discrepancies, damage etc., found will be notified and reported for further
action.
Material found not suitable for site use will be removed from site immediately.
Storage of exothermic welding materials should be in a clean, dry, “NO SMOKING”
area and should be restricted to access by authorized personnel only.
Storage condition shall be such that exothermic welding materials are not subject to
rough handling or physical damage. Storage shall be in cool place and in condition no
humidity and moisture. Earthing Pit Installation
All boxes or container of material should be stored in accordance with container
(carton) or label marking “This Side Up”
These materials must be stored under shelter to protect the boxes from the elements
and raised to protect them from dampness or wet surface. Earthing Pit Installation

rod connector with suitable protective compound, which can be easily removed for
inspection. Connector is not to be covered with backfill material and is to remain clean.
Install the inspection pit and ensure that it is flush with the external ground / road
level.
Minimum length of Rod is 2.4m, extendable as necessary to obtain required earth
resistance, Ground Resistance Tester
Ensure that the earth pit is free from dirt and rubbish.

8. Standard Procedures:
All equipment’s connected to power supply must be grounded.
All metal parts, structural steel, cable trays, piping, reinforced concrete must be
grounded. Soil Resistivity Test
All joints shall be according to shop drawing.
9. Safety Control:
To secure an exit entrance whenever it has contingencies.
Keep water out where is necessary.
To keep workplace and amenities is always clean.
Barricade and sign post are available around the site work.
To pay attention to equipment’s/tools as below:
Welding machine insulation Soil Resistivity Test
Drill machine: insulation and earthing terminal
Cylinders: Pressure Gauge Set shall be inspected by authorities
Cutting machine: insulation and earthing terminal

The earth resistance shall be measured either soil resistivity testing or earth
resistance
testing method. Soil Resistance Test
f = 2 x 3.14 x a x R
Perform test and record measured resistance in Soil Resistivity Test Form.
Shift electrodes to next spacing a= 4 meters and repeat test.
Repeat tests a= 6 meters, 8 meters and 10 meters electrode spacing.
Recorded measurements will be analyzed and presented in Soil Resistivity Test
Report.
Make sure that all personal protection equipment (PPE) be provided on site before
starting work such as helmet, safety boot, safety glasses, glove, mask etc.
Make sure that PPE must be wear in the correctly way when working.
Tools and equipment’s shall be inspected by authorized person before carried out the
work.
Barricades and sign posts for warning shall be provided on site.
Fire extinguishers shall be provided on site wherever exothermic welding works and
always ready to use.
