1. Purpose
Purpose is to serve an important management tool to set out / outline certain key
actions, milestones and events against which project performance shall be continually
monitored and controlled.
2. Scope of Works
Project comprises construction of civil infrastructure for roads, utilities and facilities at
GTFT. Road works include earthwork, sub base / base courses, pavement including
surface courses and ancillary works. Utilities works include potable water supply, sewerage
works, storm water drainage, utility crossing structures, and electrical works (embedded
only).
This document covers method of performing / executing the project in general and
road works in particular / detail. Works undertaken by specialist sub-contractors/labour sub-
contractors or other activities shall include as elaborated below for which separate method
statements shall be submitted as work proceeds. Construction will be strictly monitored and
controlled in compliance with the approved method statement.

Works shall commence after establishment of camp / site offices and material testing
lab including asphalt and batching plant.

7. Deliveries at Site
Material deliveries at site can be managed at any time during the working hours
Monday to Saturday.
site management teams actively promote clean and tidy sites as in our experience it
enhances safety and productivity, and at the same time reduces wastes. This philosophy is
applied equally to the work areas which is the site compound as well.
Sub-contractors and specialists are actively encouraged to play their part in keeping work
areas clean and tidy, however if the response is not immediate and effective; M/S
MURTAZVI shall carry out the necessary work on their behalf.
During the execution phase of the project our duties will include but may not be
limited to the following: -

f. Employ bona fide sub-contractors, tradesmen and suppliers to carry out the
works
j. Attend meetings with the Client, Design Team and Specialists as necessary
k. Monitor progress against the work program and take necessary action to
avoid delay
a. Timely resolution of defects as per punch list prepared after joint inspection
In order to achieve the standards required for this project we will develop a detailed
and specified inspection and test plan to identify items or elements within the specifications
which need to be inspected, confirmed and/or verified before the subsequent work activity
can commence. We refer to these inspections as hold point and before the following work

Similarly, materials which require testing, certification or inspection are also highlighted in
the inspection and they too are checked for correctness and the results recorded before the
materials are released for incorporation into the works. Any non-compliant materials are
“quarantined” in a specially designated area to prevent accidental incorporation into the
works pending their removal from site.
a. Pre-Work Survey
Before surface of any part of the site is excavated or the works thereon
begin, M/S MURTAZVI shall take and record levels, dimensions etc of any
such part in the presence of the Engineer or his representative and as are
necessary during the progress of the work. Such levels when agreed shall
form the basis for measurement.

(5) Before digging any materials for filling in the embankment, entire
surface of the borrow-pits shall be cleared off all grass, roots /
shoots, shrubs or any other organic matter liable to decay and
form dangerous pockets.
The area designated for clearing and grubbing shall be cleared of all
trees, stumps, bushes, roots, rubbish, debris and other objectionable matters
for the full width. Prior to removal of any trees or shrubs the Contractor shall
obtain written consent from the Engineer. Trees and plants designated for
preservation shall be protected from injury or damage which could result from
the Contractors operations.
g. Formation of Embankment

h. Rolling
Filling, spreading and rolling shall be done in such a way that newly-
deposited fill is spread and rolled smooth in order to minimize the loss of
moisture. To prevent the material from sticking to the rollers, dry earth is
sprinkled, if necessary, on the surface before or during consolidation. Water
shall be sprinkled over the rammed layer before the next one is spread to let
the two layers adhere. Suitable rollers shall be used / employed by M/S
MURTAZVI for rolling purpose as follows: -
(1) Sheep Foot rollers (if required) for compacting dry, cohesive
soils at low moisture contents
(2) Vibratory rollers for compacting soils in embankment
(3) Tandem rollers in most cases of sub-grade and base
compaction
(4) Rammers shall be employed for compacting clay soils in
confined areas.

excavation is not possible or advisable, sheeting and bracing shall be
furnished and installed in excavation to prevent damage and delay to the
work.

the pipe, said material shall be removed to minimum of 150mm below the
grade of the bottom of pipe.
Storm Water and Sewer Line Facilities are to be laid to the alignment
and gradient shown on the plans, but subject to such modifications are shall
be ordered by the Engineer from time to time to meet the requirements of the
work. No deviations from the lines, depths of cutting of gradient shown on the
plans and sections shall be permitted except by express directions in writing
of the Engineer.
Joints for RCC pipes of more than 150 mm diameter shall be Rubber Gasket
joints as provided in the plans by following ASTM C-443 entitled “Joints for
Circular Concrete Sewer and Culvert Pipe, using Flexible Watertight Rubber
Type Gaskets”. No other types of joints will be permitted under this contract.
For pipes of 150 mm internal diameters collar joints will be used.
e. Testing
f. Backfill
Storm Water and Sewer Line Facilities have been constructed and
tested as specified and to the satisfaction of the Engineer, trench shall be
backfilled. Utmost care shall be taken in doing this so that no damage shall be

caused to the sewer and other underground utilities. Excavated trench shall
be backfilled carefully in 150mm layers with earth as approved by Engineer.
Trench backfilled to the required pipe subgrade with sand or other material
acceptable to the required depth or with concrete Class-E, if so ordered. In no
case material removed from such excavations shall be used as backfill
material unless approved by the Engineer. Unless otherwise directed in
writing by the Engineer of the work not more than 60 meters in advance of
constructed or laid sewer shall be left open for testing.
g. Compaction
Stock-piled during excavation shall be used for the top 150mm of backfill, in
locations as ordered by the Engineer. Top soil shall be spread to the required
final grade and of required density.

with vertical, hollow-shaft totally enclosed squirrel cage, induction types. All
pumps shall consist of pump bowl assembly, including water pre-lubrication
system or equivalent as required and all other parts and appurtenances to
