2.2 WEIR CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY
2.2.1 Excavation of River foundation:
While keeping construction site dry, we will excavate the river/stream bed of the construction site until all
the organic materials deposited therein have been removed and to the depth where hard foundation is found.
Abutment will also be excavated at least 2 m to the horizontal direction into river bank on both sides.
Foundation of the diversion weir to be constructed will further be excavated 50 cm to 70 cm in depth unless
otherwise there is already rock foundation.
If there is rock on the bottom of river bed, chipping will be done to make concrete to firmly contact with the
foundation.
2.2.2 Assembling Reinforcement bars (for base concrete)
We will assemble the reinforcement bars including the base concrete portion (reinforcement bars will start
from the base concrete). It is recommended to assemble the bars at intervals of 25-30cm. (usually 30cm). As
for the size of reinforcement bar, Y12 (12mm) and Y16 (16mm) of diameter are usually used for weir
construction.
2.2.3 Assembling Reinforcement bars (for weir wall)
We will assemble the reinforcement bars including the base concrete portion (reinforcement bars should start
from the base concrete). It is recommended to assemble the bars at intervals of 25-30cm. (usually 30cm). As
for the size of reinforcement bar, Y12 (12mm) and Y16 (16mm) of diameter are usually used for weir
construction.
2.2.4 Concrete Mixing Mixing and Placing:
In order to get proper concrete for weir construction, we will adopt the standard mixing proportion of cement
to sand and crushed stone is: 1 : 2 : 4 in terms of volume, which is equivalent to 1 bag of cement (50kg), 2
bags of sands and 4 bags of crushed stones. We will use batch boxes to measure the materials for making
concrete.
Placing the base concrete-The base concrete with horizontally placed wire mesh and reinforcement bars
vertically arranged is placed on the bottom of construction space (excavated area). The thickness of the base
concrete is expected to be the same as further excavated depth. We shall until concrete dries up while giving
it proper curing.
2.2.5 Assembling Framework (Shuttering)
We shall assemble framework (Shuttering) to place the concrete while covering reinforcement bars
assembled. The inside of frame works will be coated with a bit of oil; to help smooth removal of the
framework after concrete is ready.
2.2.6 Placing Concrete to Weir Wall
We will pour concrete into the framework layer by layer. 30cm thickness is recommended to place for each
layer. Interstices and gaps inside of the framework should be filled thoroughly with concrete by poking the

METHODOLOGY 5
concrete with a porker vibrator.

3.0 PIPE LAYING

3.1 TRENCH EXCAVATION and BACKFILLING
We shall ensure that all works relating to stripping of surface materials, trench excavation and
storage of excavated materials is appropriate and keep the excavation to the minimum practical so as
to reduce the extent of disturbance. Slopes of excavations shall be formed to avoid the collapse. All
exposed surfaces shall be maintained in a stable condition to avoid erosion of excavated surfaces and
storage areas. Trenches shall be levelled to provide even and continuous support to the pipeline, and
any organic materials, stones, boulders or obstructions shall be removed and disposed. Suitable
excavated material, other than surface materials, if suitable for backfill, shall be stock piled at one
side of the trench and after pipe laying works completed, backfilled to the trench. Pipe will be
covered by soft sand at 200 mm layers to protect the pipe coating from any damage. It shall be
thoroughly compacted by hand rammers.
Excavation shall be carried out in accordance with the “Trench Excavation and Backfilling Method
Statement’’.

All crossings shall be installed in accordance with the drawings. Reinforced concrete protective slabs
shall be placed over the pipeline, at service crossings. The concrete slabs shall be a minimum of 150
mm thick and shall extend beyond the pipe, for at least 150 mm on either side.
On completion of backfilling operations, permanent surface warning tiles shall be placed on the
pipelines to indicate their points of intersection with other services. Drainage systems shall be
installed within the construction area if necessary to protect existing waterways and to control storm
water runoff. The systems shall be designed to discharge water to a collecting pits. If required, oil
separator and/or sediment traps shall be installed in the drains, to prevent the contamination of
ground water.

3.2 PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION

Handling:
Pipe Stringing: Pipes shall be offloaded and strung along the route of the pipeline, not parallel or
perpendicular to trench direction but with some degree’s angle. Pipes and fittings shall not be placed
directly onto the ground. End protection caps shall be retained in position, as long as practicable.
The pipeline shall at all times be kept free of foreign material and water, and when work is not in

METHODOLOGY 6
 progress, the open ends of pipes, fittings and pipeline shall be securely capped.
Pipeline Lowering-in: The pipeline shall be lowered into the trench as soon as possible after the
trench has been excavated.

DIVERSE AND OTHER

Quality control. Plan
We consider Quality Control as a top priority in the execution of works. The following aspects will be
ensured as part of our Quality Control program: -
 Superintendence Staff: - We will ensure adequate qualified and experienced Engineers are engaged in the
Project from the onset. Such Engineers are readily available from our pool of staff. The Engineers will fully
be supported by an equally qualified technical team [Surveyors, Foremen, Headmen, Technicians and
Draughtsmen etc.] from our pool of staff.
 Materials: - All materials shall be of their respective kinds as described in the contract or equally approved
alternatives.
 We will ensure that, no material will be delivered to the site without being tested and accompanied by a
Compliance Certificate.
 All Quarries and Borrow Pits will have to be approved by the Engineer’s Representative once identified.
 Sampling from the Quarries and Borrow pits will be done jointly with the Engineer’s team.
 Mix designs for concrete and asphalt concrete will be done and approved by the Engineer before being
incorporated into permanent works.
 Control tests will be carried out as the work progresses to ensure that quality is maintained through and
through.
Machineries: - We will ensure all the machines allocated to various sections of works are in good working
conditions, properly calibrated and of the right kind for the activity. Qualified operators will be employed on
these machines for the best result.

Safety, Health and Environmental

Plan Environmental Awareness:
An induction course will be conducted by the ECO on the construction site at commencement of
works. Environmental awareness training of new and follow up of older staff members as well as
subcontractors will be conducted at regular intervals or as deemed necessary. Emergency procedures
and Fire hazard: There will be two fire extinguishers at the fuel bowser and employees will be
trained how to use them in case of emergency. All fire equipment will be serviced monthly and they
will be checked bi-weekly by the acting fire officer. No open fires will be allowed on site. A water
truck with capacity of 10 000 liters will be on site in case of any fire emergency. The site agent of

METHODOLOGY 7
the contractor will also act as the environmental officer on behalf of the contractor if a dedicated
person or agent is not appointed.

Safety precautions are to be adhered by ensuring that, all plants are operated by authorized operators. Besides,
all workers in the concrete section will be provided with safety gears including dust masks, hand gloves,
gumboots, helmets, goggles and others as applicable.

Introduction;
We employ sound and high standard work methodologies aimed at: -
a. Achieving safe structures of high quality
b. Observing and Maintaining safety and health of the workers,
c. Maintaining safety of the adjacent structures and neighbors,

environment.
Supreme Fortitude Limited has a legal and moral responsibility to safeguard its employees and the general
public, so far as reasonably practical, from injury, annoyance or risk to Health from all processes associated
with all operations and Activities.

Workers Health & Safety: - We don’t take the health and safety of our workers for granted. We take the
following measures to ensure it is maintained: -
1. We provide our site gangs with safety gear such as: Helmets, safety goggles, safety gloves, dust masks,
boots, and safety ropes etc.
2. We train our workers on proper operation of tools and machinery.
3. We restrict operation of machinery only to the qualified workers.
4. Routine examination of tools and scaffolds is carried out to prevent any possible accidents arising from
faulty machines of loose scaffolds.

METHODOLOGY 8
Occupants’ Safety & Satisfaction
1. We shall use dust screens to prevent dust from spreading all over the place.
2. We shall use scaffolds as shown in the figure below to protect the occupants from falling materials.
3. We shall mark off the areas which un-authorized persons will not be allowed to go to by either hoarding or
using warning tape as may be instructed by the project manager.
4. In order to achieve safe structures, we engage our own experts and work with the consultants appointed by
the client, observe high standard supervision and adhere to the designs and specifications.

We employ highly skilled artisans and craftsmen to ensure high standard of workmanship and the intended
aesthetics is achieved. This makes the structure usable for the intended use.
5. We shall follow the Project engineer’s instructions on how to carry out these works as well as the
specifications and drawings. In addition, we shall follow all the laid down procedures and regulations
pertaining to construction
6. All concrete works and masonry & plaster works will be cured thoroughly either by surface flooding or
covering as necessary.

Sediment and Erosion Control:

No sediment will be able to enter the stream as the newly constructed pan wall will act as a buffer to
contain sediment from the construction area. Topsoil from temporary stockpiles will be used to
cover exposed areas to encourage the fast growth of vegetation to prevent unnecessary erosion.

Storm Water Management:

Existing storm water ditches will be maintained in order to let water flow freely to the river without
eroding the soil. Existing drainage furrows will be maintained and kept clean at all times in order to
prevent rainwater from scouring and eroding surrounding areas and sedimenting the stream.

Dust and Noise Control;

Working hours will be from 7am till 6pm during weekdays, plant will be equipped with standard
factory fitted silencer systems. Dust will be controlled by watering dusty areas with water truck.
Contaminated Water Control:
Discharges such as cement, lubricants, fuels, etc, will be minimized in accordance with the EMP.
No Go Areas:
All activities will be limited to the agreed and dedicated construction areas.
