Prior to the project starting, a site camp shall be established and located preferably in
the middle of the section. This shall include two (2) offices, one for the employer’s
representative and another one for the contractor’s staff. Stores for tools, fuel, cement,
and road which are affected by harsh climatic conditions. A parking yard for equipment
and materials and these shall be under security throughout the working period.
The project team will be experienced in their designated areas of responsibility. The
integrated project team will ensure the works are completely supervised with respect to
quality, quantity, environment as well as healthy and safety. The contractor shall work
with the environment officer of the District and staff personnel from whom the
environmental risk assessments will be produced, monitored and reported.
The contractor shall then start mobilization of resources according to the updated work
program issued after contact signing. Mobilization will be continuous throughout the
project period since resources are always needed up to the last operation.

GA – Government Body
Safety awareness meeting has to be conducted every working day morning/every other
day to brief the work force in the safety prevention measures. Traffic Safety will be
discussed as a topic. Each survey group should be well awarded to follow specified
instructions such as “Barricading Boards” and signalmen will be deployed to control the
traffic flow during working time. The survey team should have practical knowledge to
adjust following specified instructions that will not meet.
Operating Procedure
Site investigation has to be carried out for safety precautions prior to commencement of
the work, in order to display relevant sign boards.
Men at work 75m-100m ahead” sign boards would be placed on both left hand
25 m away from men at work sign Narrow Road/one lane traffic sign would be placed in
order to notify the drivers with regard to road situation.
Working area will be corded off with traffic cones to indicate setting out survey for the
oncoming traffic to see on both sides.
“One way traffic ahead” sign boards would be placed 90m ahead of working area in
order to notify oncoming drivers.
Traffic controllers would be deployed on both sides in order to control “one way traffic”.
After completion of the work, safety cones and barricade boars has to be removed
accordingly.
5
In addition to following safety precaution has to be adopting to minimize accidents that
can be happened.
Safety helmets, traffic safety vests, boots, dust mask & gloves will be provided.
Safety officer has to visit the sites twice a day and required safety measures will
be adopted at site. In addition, work discrepancies will be discussed in the following day
morning at the safety meeting
NOTE: The above safety procedure shall comply for each operation.

3.2 Site clearance
This Method Statement provides the details of materials, the equipment, the procedure
and relevant documents related to the clearing and grubbing activities, including the
quality control verification, the measurement verification, and also the traffic
management plan, disposing of valuable trees, disposing of branches at disposal sites,
disposing of logs and uprooting of roots to be implemented.
Location of Works
The location of the clearing and grubbing works will be limited to selected areas bound
within the Right of Way (ROW) as instructed by the Engineer. These works may be
applicable alternatively, as required to locations outside the ROW (i.e. borrow pits,
disposal areas etc.
Suitable materials would be employed in the preparation of sub grade as those materials
have been classified to use as sub grade materials by the all preliminary tests done on it.
Sampling of these materials would be made in a manner to identify easily their status of
test and all the necessary details would be entered to the sample register. In case of
placing these materials, the specified layer thickness and degree of compaction for each
layer would be achieved. Field density test would be carried out in case of checking the
degree of compaction according to the method stipulated in the relevant BS codes. See
Inspection Test Plan.
To ensure that the all activities are being performed with the expected quality, an
inspection check list would be filled by the person in charge for this work in case of re-
construction, during construction. The inspection check list shall include the specific
requirements, safety and environmental measures.
Dimension Control
Preparation of sub grade would be carried out according to the designed cross sections.
The required depth and length of the excavation would be properly maintained during
construction and those requirements would be checked with the inspection check list.
Methodology
If the exposed layer of soil unsuitable for sub grade, these layers would be excavated up
to the required depth by using a back-hoe loader and the required levels of the
excavation would be controlled by the surveyor.
Selected suitable material would be placed and compacted in successive layers by using
rammers or vibrating rollers to a minimum depth of 150 mm.
If the exposed layer of soil suitable for the sub grade, the layer would be thoroughly
compacted by using vibrator rollers or rammers until reach the required compaction.
8
The top 150mm sub grade layer in cut areas would be compacted to not less than 95% of
the maximum dry density of the material at moisture content within 2% of the optimum
moisture content as determined by AASHTO T-180. Water would be sprayed while
compacting for achieving a better compaction.
The surface of the finished sub grade would be neat and workmanlike and would have
the form, super elevation, levels, grades and cross section
Before commencing this activity all tests for sub grade compaction densities will be
submitted and approved by the engineer 14 days before start off this operation. The
borrow pits shall also be tested and results approved by the engineer 14 days before
commencement.
The gravel material shall then be excavated using excavators and materials hauled using
15ton capacity trucks of which their number will depend on the productivity of the
excavator and haulage distance.
9
The capacity of each truck will be measured from which the box length (spacing) shall
be determined by the formula
Box length (spacing) = truck capacity / (road width * lose thickness).
The gravel material shall then be dumped and spaced such that each compacted layer
shall be as specified in the drawing, spread, watered and compacted to 95% MOD
AASHITO .
The spreading will be done using grader with assistance of labor to remove and break
oversized boulders since using labor only could compromise quality and the proposed
productivity of the big roller and water bawser.
All necessary tests will be under taken as requested by the engineer and results availed
and approved before continuing to the next operations. The process is expected to be
completed within weeks as per work program for this activity.
QUALITY CONTROL ASSURANCE.
The contractor shall have competent and well trained staff, which will be in charge of daily
supervision. The will then train laborers on quality control measures required from
specifications.
Several tests at each and every stage will be under taken and approved by the engineer
until they comply with the standards required.
10
First aid kit with some medicine will be provided on the site and medical services shall
be provided to the patients.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND CONTROL
The contractor shall work with the environment officer of the district to ensure that
environment risks are forecasted and management plan drafted to mitigate those risks.
Trees shall be planted and erosion protection measures like grass planting on side slopes
as well as embankment slopes will be under taken.
Pollution of both air and water will be minimized by use of emulsion bitumen which is
environmentally friendly. All bitumen leakages will be controlled and if they happen,
they will be collected and buried 2m down.
DEMOBILIZATION
The contractor shall remove all the temporary structures erected on site, clean site and
remove debris and deposit them to location directed by the engineer.
