1.0 PURPOSE
The Port of Fujaraih, is currently preparing for the project of refurbishment of the bulk handling
terminal at the city of Dibba. The Project scope consist briefly of the supply and performance of a
handling system from the new platform that will be performed by others and existing jetty at the port
area, to a new stockyard.

The handling conveyor alignment runs from the port to the new stockyard area in a 4.4 Km
approximated total length. Within this length there is a 1.2 km tunnel stretch from the port to the city
suburbs. After the tunnel, the conveyor runs upon steel supports founded upon reinforced concrete
raft footings.

The purpose of this document is to specify the requirements for development of the topographical
survey of the complete project field and other related areas. This specification set forth the minimum
requirements that must be met by the “Electra Surveying Engineering” during execution of the
topographical survey on shore in the areas specified for this project.

The survey shall be carried out in order to establish elevations and coordinates of all natural and
manmade features within the project area. Due to the large extension of land covered by this Project,
the work will be focused on two areas.

Two different optimal options will be carried out along the handling conveyor alignment, adapting the
type of survey to the type of orography present throughout the area of study, using the combination
of two methodology: Traditional GPS Survey and new data acquisition with UAV- Drone Survey.

For this matter TYPSA appointed Electra Surveying Engineering on behave of PHB, to perform
Topographical mapping using GPS GNSS System and UAV photogrammetry for the requested area
as detailed in this Method Statement.

The deliverables of this SOW are not just a mapping of the area but also full understanding of the
present capability and future capacity of the site so the most unique design can occur in near future.
All work will be performed and presented in accordance with the approved standards to ensure that
collected data has certainty in delivery quality and procedure.

Electra Surveyors in making Topographical mapping will use accepted terrestrial GPS Surveying
and UAV System (Photogrammetry Method) with mm accuracy to collect the most accurate data.

The latest edition of the following codes and standards shall establish the minimum standards for the
work
• “Geometric Geodetic Accuracy Standards and Specifications for using GPS Relative
Positioning Techniques”, Federal Geodetic Control Committee Version 5.0: May 11, 1988
• Coordinates will be based on WGS84 UTM Zone40 Coordinate System
• Elevations will be based on Dibba Municipality Datum

These Standards must apply to all work related of topographical and aerial mapping. Advice and

The survey data will be processed in Electra Office as follows in order to derive the final required
submissions:

• Data processing: Data will be downloaded and processed daily in order to ensure the quality
and validity.

• GPS data: All GPS data will be downloaded and processed on a daily basis using Leica
Geo Office (LGO) software. All GPS vectors will be imported into LGO and the final positions
determined by a least square’s adjustment.

All above ground features will be extracted from the point clouds. A DTM will be generated from
the point cloud which then derived contours and annotated spot heights.

• Final deliverables (CAD & Report)

All data will be compiled in one uniform data set and then imported into AutoCAD software or
Autodesk Civil 3D, where the final drawings will be produced.

• Results

5.5 TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY USING TRIMBLE GPS/GNSS SYSTEM

GPS RTK Survey: Upon proper establishment and verification of network (polygonal network) RTK
surveying will start as per the specific requirements in the technical specification provided by PHB.

RTK is a relative positioning technique which measures the position of two GNSS antennas relative
to each other in real-time. One antenna is setup on a static point with fixed coordinates and is known
as the base station.

The RTK base station transmits its raw observations to the rover(s) in real-time the rover uses both
“rover and base” observations to compute its position relative to the base, following a proper field
procedures and basic steps will produce – generate valid resultant’s.

RTK survey can achieve relative positioning with centimetre (cm) precision when following a set
of best practices, there are several important factors that need to be accounted for doing an RTK
Surveys and they include: calibration, atmospheric errors, satellite geometry and validation.

Electra will use Trimble R8 s series GPS GNSS were: The accuracy of the Trimble instruments as
stated in the technical specification by the manufacturer is as follows:

• Accuracy (rms) with Post Processing1 Static

(phase) with long observations:
o Horizontal: 3 mm + 0.1 ppm (rms)
o Vertical: 3.5 mm + 0.4 ppm (rms)
• Static and rapid static (phase):
o Horizontal: 3 mm + 0.5 ppm (rms)
o Vertical: 5 mm + 0.5 ppm (rms)
• Kinematic (phase):
o Horizontal: 8 mm + 1 ppm rms)
o Vertical: 15 mm + 1 ppm (rms)

5.6 TOPOGRAPHICAL SURVEY USING TOTAL STATION

Total Positioning Solutions." In general, there are aspects of any construction project: survey, layout,
design, execution, and inspection.

TPS systems can make sure the work we do, is precise and under our control, for this project “Electra
Surveying” also will use TPS Survey if in the given area has some obstruction causing multipath
errors and weak signals for GPS.

To ensure that the topographic survey is as accurate and precise as possible, TPS positioning
techniques will be used for surveying the corners of building or high trees if they are entering in out
limit for survey.

Topographic survey using Total Station will be executed from the existing and verified control points
in the area.

Electra will use Trimble S5 and Trimble M3 Robotic Total Station with 1” accuracy for easy
completion of site and office work.

Survey procedures and equipment used must relate to the attainment of the spatial tolerance
nominated for each data quality class.

Survey checks should identify the following types of errors:

• Systematic errors.
• Instrument errors or equipment calibration.
• Errors in information such as control marks, or design information.
• Human error.

Preferably the checks should be independent of the surveying process being checked. Redoing
the same survey process as a check is discouraged and should only be used as a last resort (too
often the same mistake is made again).

Examples of independent checks include:

• Closed traverse loops;

• Checking distances between points radiated;
• Check shots to survey control marks in electronic tachometry surveys;
• Checking distances to other features whose position has been verified;

The objective is to assure that the survey is correct when completed. In this regard an honest
effort must be made to identify parts of the survey process that could produce errors and make
every effort to assure against this happening.

5.9 VERIFYING SERVICES ON SITE

A site visit is necessary to identify any assets not identified in preliminary data searches and if
required survey the assets to improve data accuracy.

5.10 PERSONNEL

All personnel who will attend site must hold a Safety Awareness. All Survey work must be undertaken
by Survey professional with a relevant Bachelor Degree or Diploma of Surveying, adopting survey
methods which meet the required accuracies.

The lead location technician must be a suitably trained professional with minimum 2 y e a r s
‘experience in the requested field.

Location personnel must be prepared to overtake mounting areas drone survey with safety all around.

a moral and legal duty but also that our employees are our greatest asset.

Our Health and Safety Policy Statement sets out our commitment and the objectives we aspire to in
managing health and safety. It is signed by the most senior person in our organization to demonstrate
that our commitment is led from the top.

Our approach to managing health and safety will be pragmatic and proportionate and will be
prioritized according to risk with the objective of maintaining continuous improvement. We accept
that we cannot eliminate risk from everything we do but we can manage risk in such a way that
exposure to hazards is controlled as far as is reasonably practical.

Our success in managing health and safety will be measurable and we look to establish performance
standards against which we can monitor our progress to identify future actions to go into our
improvement programme.

The Management Team have the ultimate responsibility for the health and safety of Electra
Surveying Engineering but discharges this responsibility through the individual managers,
supervisors and employees.

The Electra Surveying have nominated Mr. Engin Guzel, to have special responsibility for health
and safety. He will ensure that:

➢ Positive health and safety culture throughout the project

➢ All its decisions reflect its health and safety intentions
➢ Adequate resources are made available for the implementation of health and safety
➢ Promote the active participation of workers in improving health and safety performance

First Aid

First aid will refer to the emergency care provided when a person is injured or ill until full medical
treatment is available. For minor conditions, first aid care is enough.

First Aid Boxes

First aid boxes will be provided within the workplace to ensure there are adequate supplies for the
nature of the hazards involved.

Portable First Aid Kits

Portable first aid kits will be available for staff members required to work away from the normal
workplace, where access to facilities may be restricted, such as work with potentially dangerous tools
and machinery away from base location.

6.2.2 RISK ASSESSMENT EVALUATION

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a special attention shall be put to combat heat stress during the
works.

The following considerations will be taken into account, as detailed in the risk Assessment:
• Leverage the Power of Choice
• Remain Vigilant about PPE
• Stay hydrated
• Take breaks and avoid overexertion
• Understand the elements, considering time of day when scheduling jobs

Risk assessment is a systematic examination of what within our business can cause harm to people
and it helps us determine whether we are doing enough or further actions are required to reduce the
likelihood of injury or ill health.

NOTE: We may be controlling risks in various ways, determining the effectiveness of those controls
is part of our risk assessment process.
