**Method Statement for Piping Work**

### 1. **Scope of Work**

This method statement outlines the procedure for the installation of piping systems, including preparation, installation, testing, and
commissioning, to ensure compliance with project specifications and relevant standards. The scope covers underground and above-ground
piping for utilities such as potable water, drainage, and process piping.

### 2. **Materials and Equipment**

#### **Materials**

- Pipes: Ductile Iron (DI), GRP, UPVC, HDPE, or steel as per the project requirements

- Fittings: Elbows, tees, reducers, and couplings

- Gaskets and bolts

- Pipe supports, clamps, and anchors

- Sealants and adhesives (if required)

- Wrapping tape or coatings for corrosion protection

#### **Equipment**
- Pipe cutting machines

- Pipe threading and welding machines (if applicable)

- Pipe alignment tools

- Excavators (for underground piping)

- Lifting equipment such as cranes or chain blocks

- Torque wrenches

- Pressure testing equipment (hydrostatic or pneumatic)

- PPE (helmets, gloves, boots, high-visibility vests)

---

### 3. **Pre-Piping Activities**

#### **3.1 Site Preparation**

- Verify that the piping layout and shop drawings are approved and available.

- Conduct a site survey to identify pipe routes and confirm the installation areas are clear of obstructions.

- Mark the pipe routing and trench locations (for underground piping) using survey equipment.

#### **3.2 Material Inspection**


- Inspect pipes and fittings for defects such as cracks, deformities, or corrosion.

- Verify that materials comply with the project specifications and applicable standards.

#### **3.3 Equipment Check**

- Ensure all tools and equipment are in good working condition.

- Calibrate pressure testing equipment as required.

#### **3.4 Safety Measures**

- Erect barricades and install warning signs around the work area.

- Conduct toolbox talks to ensure workers understand the risks and safety requirements.

- Confirm all personnel are equipped with appropriate PPE.

---

### 4. **Piping Installation Procedure**

#### **4.1 Underground Piping**

- Excavate trenches to the required depth and width as per the approved drawings.

- Ensure the trench bed is leveled and compacted, and provide bedding material such as sand or gravel.
- Lay pipes in the trench, ensuring alignment and slope are as per the design specifications.

- Join pipes using the specified method (e.g., push-fit, solvent welding, flanged joints).

- Backfill the trench in layers, compacting each layer to prevent settlement.

#### **4.2 Above-Ground Piping**

- Erect pipe supports, hangers, and anchors as per the approved drawings.

- Lift and position the pipes using cranes or chain blocks.

- Align and join pipes using the specified method (e.g., welding, threading, or bolting).

- Install expansion joints or flexible couplings where required.

#### **4.3 Fitting and Connections**

- Install valves, reducers, tees, and other fittings as per the piping layout.

- Ensure proper alignment of flanges, and use the specified gaskets and bolts.

- Tighten bolts uniformly using a torque wrench to achieve the recommended torque values.

#### **4.4 Corrosion Protection**

- Apply protective coatings or wrapping tape to underground and exposed pipes as specified.

- Ensure pipe surfaces are clean and free of moisture before applying protective materials.

### 5. **Testing and Inspection**

#### **5.1 Visual Inspection**

- Inspect all joints, welds, and fittings for defects or leaks.

- Verify the alignment and slope of piping systems.

#### **5.2 Pressure Testing**

- Conduct hydrostatic or pneumatic pressure tests as per the project specifications.

- Fill the system with the testing medium (water or air), and gradually increase pressure to the specified level.

- Maintain the pressure for the required duration and check for leaks or pressure drops.

- Record test results and submit them for approval.

#### **5.3 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)**

- Perform NDT for welded joints if specified in the project requirements.

- Submit NDT reports to the consultant for review.

---
### 6. **Commissioning**

- Flush the piping system with clean water to remove debris and contaminants.

- Conduct functional tests for valves, flow meters, and other components.

- Ensure the system operates as per design parameters.

- Obtain approval from the client or consultant before handing over the system.

---

### 7. **Safety Precautions**

- Ensure all personnel wear PPE, including helmets, gloves, and safety boots.

- Provide safe access to trenches and elevated work areas using ladders or scaffolding.

- Follow lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures when working near live systems.

- Prohibit smoking or open flames near flammable materials.

- Assign a safety officer to monitor work activities.

---
### 8. **Environmental Considerations**

- Minimize waste by cutting and joining pipes efficiently.

- Dispose of waste materials, such as pipe off-cuts and sealants, in designated areas.

- Prevent spillage of oils, chemicals, or other hazardous substances into the soil or water bodies.

- Ensure excavation dewatering is discharged to approved drainage points.

---

### 9. **Documentation**

- Maintain records of material inspections, test results, and daily progress.

- Submit as-built drawings showing the final layout of the piping system.

- Provide operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals for installed systems.

---

### 10. **Conclusion**


The piping installation will be carried out in strict compliance with project specifications, safety guidelines, and quality standards. All activities will
be supervised by qualified personnel to ensure proper execution and compliance.
