5.3 CONSTRUCTION METHOD STATEMENT TEMPLATE

A template for the Method Statement will be located in the teams folder of the project
at this link.

6. CONSTRUCTION METHOD STATEMENT DOCUMENT APPROVAL,

MANAGEMENT, AND COMMUNICATION.

The responsibility to collect the information from all the involved parties and to
release the CMS is the construction responsible. In case that the subcontractor
delivers the CMS, the construction responsible will review the information contained
therein and the development of the approval process.

This document has to be codified and managed according to E6RV-ACC-DM-PLN-

ALZN-0001 - Document Management and Coding Procedure by the owner of the CMS.

If the subcontractor is not registered in Aconex (in the document E6RV-ACC-DM-

REG-ALZN-0002 - Project Directory, all those registered in the project are found), an
email will be forwarded to subcontractors for the signature.

ACCIONA understands that the CMS does have the subcontractor’s approval, even
though they do not sign the document, once this process ends without receiving
comments from them. ACCIONA must give evidence about these emails.

The revision of the document must be through an Aconex workflow, as described in

E6RV-ACC-DM-PLN-ALZN-0002 Aconex Procedure. In all cases, as a minimum of 5
working days must be considered for this revision. After this period ends up, the CMS
will be considered reviewed.

Once the CMS is in status “reviewed” or “reviewed with comments”, the document
must be published in Aconex (according to E6RV-ACC-DM-PLN-ALZN-0001 -
Document Management and Coding Procedure) and the Document Controller will
upload the document into PIMS register following the “NV-ADM-VLD-0001 Veileder
for teknisk og administrativ dokumentasjon Rev 02 – 23.09.2020” for the
communication and knowledge of the Client. If the document is rejected, the owner
of the CMS must revise and resubmit the document, reinitiating the process.

The CMS must be communicated to whom will be involved in the activities in order
to ensure that all personnel associated with the task are aware of the planned
process, potential hazards, and controls involved.

7. UPDATE OF METHOD STATEMENTS

- If circumstances arise that require the update of the document like a change
of the tasks, the sequence of the tasks, or any other condition, the new
version will be delivered to the Document Controller for reinitiating this
sequence.
