Experienced and skilled workers will be performing the strengthening works of the
Brood Stock Building B-3. Dismantling workers, including plant or equipment
operators, shall go through proper job awareness and job safety training and be
informed of the potential hazards by attending training sessions as well as on-the-
job training. They shall be trained regarding-working at heights, working with lifting
appliances, use of personal protective equipment, health hazards in dismantling
works and safe operating zones. The safety concept will be maintained by regular
safety meetings throughout the job period.

vii) Ensure that all technician and helpers are aware of safety requirements and
procedures.
viii) Scaffolding set up will be installed around the perimeter of the block wall to provide
safe access to the top of the wall and the beams.
ix) It will be ensured that scaffolding components are securely anchored and braced
according to manufacturer's specifications.
x) Location / Area is cordoned off and ready for dismantling of concrete slab.
Page 10 of 18
xvii) In locations where block wall exists under the concrete beam, top course of the
blockwork will be removed using hilti hammer to expose the beam soffit. Additional
blockwork can be removed as needed for enabling the retrofit work.
Page 11 of 18
xix) Removal of the debris: As we break up the part of block wall, debris will be
removed from the work area using a wheelbarrow or other suitable method.
xx) Clean up: Once the upper portion of the wall has been dismantled, work area
will be clean up and inspect it for any remaining hazards or debris.
xxi) Strengthening of the existing reinforced concrete beams on grid lines 3, 4,
5 and 6 will be done by attaching 203x133x25UB steel beams under the
existing beams.
xxii) Same beams will be provided on grid lines 2 and 7 except the end bays
where the UB section is not used but 150x100x8 RHS section is used instead.
xxiii) Visual inspection: Visual Inspection of the steel beam will be conducted for
any signs of damage, defects, or irregularities, dents, scratches, corrosion, or
weld discontinuities before its installations.
Page 12 of 18
xxiv) Chemical composition analysis: chemical composition analysis through
spectroscopy will be conducted to determine the elemental composition of the
steel, including carbon content and alloying elements.
xxv) Mechanical properties testing: Mechanical testing will be conducted to
assess the steel beam's strength, ductility, and other mechanical properties.
Tension tests will be performed to measure the beam's yield strength, ultimate
tensile strength, and elongation properties
xxvi) It will be ensured that the beam's dimensions, including length, width, and
thickness, meet the specified requirements.
xxvii) All steel bolts and threaded bars used for B3 will be of Grade 8.8 with
dimensions as shown on retrofit drawings.
xxviii) Suitable anchoring points will be identified for mounting the pulleys. It
will be ensured that the pulleys are securely fastened and aligned for smooth
operation.
xxix) Sturdy ropes will be attached to the new steel beam, ensuring they are
securely fastened and capable of supporting the weight of the beam.
xxx) It will be ensured that the load is balanced and centered to prevent tilting or
shifting during lifting.
xxxi) Coordinate the lifting process carefully to ensure proper alignment and
placement of the beam underneath the existing steel beam.
xxxii) Lifting operation will begin by applying tension to the ropes, gradually raising the
load into position beneath the existing steel beam.
xxxiii) Steel beam will be lifted ensuring it is positioned securely and aligned with the
existing steel beam.
Page 13 of 18
xxxiv) Roles and responsibilities will be assigned to workers involved in the lifting operation,
including those responsible for pulling the ropes, guiding the load, and monitoring
safety.
xxxv) Steel beam will be aligned underneath the existing beam, ensuring a snug fit and
proper support.
xxxvi) Holes will be drilled through the flanges of beams at predetermined intervals
for bolt placement.
xxxvii) High strength bolts will be inserted through the aligned holes and secure them
with nuts and washers, ensuring a tight connection.
xxxviii) We will control and minimize dust from impacting neighboring areas utilizing
water spray or other practical methods.
xxxix) During the progress of dismantling, lifting and installation the work will be under
the continuous supervision of the experienced Site Engineer and Safety Engineer/
Officer
xl) Load the Debris: We will use a shovel and wheelbarrow to move the debris. We
will have dumpsters depending on the amount of debris to load and transport the
debris at designated locations.
xli) Debris will be removed and transport in a manner that will prevent
spillage on adjacent surfaces and areas.
xlii) Debris will not be accumulated on-site. All the dismantled debris will be
collected and transported to the designated disposal place and site will
be kept clean.
xliii) Disposal of the debris will be in accordance with approved waste
management and local regulations.
xliv) Final Inspection: A final inspection of the area will be conducted to ensure
that all the waste has been completely removed and that the site is safe.

9 Housekeeping and Disposal of Materials
All work places where our personnel are working will be cleaned from the
debris ensuring clean and healthy work environment as well as to maintain free
access and egress in the event of emergency.
Safety Lighting: Safety lights will be used in case of power failure ensuring good
illumination for the personnel.
Risk Controls: Risk assessment and their controls are carried out for the
following activity/ hazards and enclosed with this method statement.
Danger Signs: Danger signs shall be posted round the property. No person shall be
allowed to work in an area underneath a wall being removed; such areas
enterances shall be barricaded.
Electrical Safety: A properly connected power source from a local electric utility
supplier shall be utilized.
Fire Safety: All flammable goods will be removed from site unless they are
necessary for the works involved. Any remaining flammable goods will be stored
in proper storage facilities. Firefighting appliances will be provided and
maintained in working conditions. Emergency access to site shall be provided.
Air Pollution: wall breaking, handling of debris and hauling process are main
sources of dust from dismantling. Dust mitigation measures, such as water spray,
shall be adopted to minimize dust emissions. Burning of waste shall not be
allowed. Diesel fumes generated by mechanical plant or equipment shall be
controlled.
Noise: Noise pollution arising from the dismantling works due to the use of
mechanical equipment such as hilti hammer, loading and transportation of debris,
etc. affects the workers, and the sensitive receivers in the vicinity of the
demolition site. Silent type equipment shall be used to reduce noise impact as
much as practicable.
Page 15 of 18
Debris and Waste Handling: Debris, waste and other materials shall not be thrown,
tipped or shot down from a height where they are liable to cause injury to any
person on or near the site. Warning signs shall be posted to prevent workers from
entering disposal area.

➢ If there are any other dust generating activities taking place outside the control
of the construction site, discussions should be held with those responsible for
these sites to ensure there are no cumulative impacts.
➢ Regular dust soiling checks of nearby surfaces e.g. street furniture, window sills
etc. within 100m of the site boundary to be undertaken. Cleaning to be provided
if necessary.
➢ Site layout to be planned to ensure that machinery and dust causing activities are
located away from sensitive receptors as far as practicable.
➢ All vehicles / plant would be well maintained to ensure most efficient operation -
this would have additional benefit of reducing energy consumption
➢ Ensure adequate supply of water on site for effective dust suppression from
crushing equipment.
