6.0 Method of Work

6.1 Briefing:

Page 2 of 19 Method Statement No:

Doc No: 001 Revision No: 1.0
 Method Statement / Risk Assessment

The days’ work is to be confirmed by MAIN CONTRACTOR site management to the Supervisor who will then
conduct a daily site briefing in conjunction with these RAMS. Once the daily briefing is complete all site operatives
are to sign the briefing sheet to confirm they understand. All works are to be supervised by a CONTRACTOR
supervisor at all times.

General Considerations:

 Prior to the commencement of the works the area will be surveyed with MAIN CONTRACTOR to
highlight the scope and any restrictions.
 There are strict noise restrictions in place during shop opening times.
 Site operatives are to ensure proper manual handling techniques are followed.

Method of work:

 Before works can begin a permit to work will need to be gained from MAIN CONTRACTOR Site
management.
 A new reinforced concrete slab is to be constructed as per the engineer’s drawings found in Appendix A.
 To begin some enabling works will need to be completed which includes some scabbling back of the
existing concrete ramp using scabbling machine a small Hilti AVR kango’s with wide chisels.
 Once the enabling works have been completed install the rebar and dowels as per the engineers
drawing found in Appendix A.
 The rebars are H10 and fixed in place using Hilti RE-500 resin with 100mm of embedment.
 H10 L-Bars need to be installed at the bottom of the existing ramp at 200 c/c with 100mm of
embedment and fixed in place with Hilti RE-500 resin.
 Once the dowels are in place, secure some A393 mesh to the dowels with binding wire.
 The shuttering will be cut using a skill saw, and the 4x2 timber using a handsaw. The shuttering will be
fixed together using screws and a battery drill.
 Rubber gloves are to be worn during the mixing of the concrete.
 Pour the concrete into the shuttering a level off ensuring the concrete is level with the SSL of +6.350m.
 Allow the concrete to cure before removing the shuttering.
 Clean and tidy the work area and remove and waste generated during the construction of the slab.

Drainage installation:

 Prior to any works being undertaken all operatives will read the method statement and ensure they
understand its content.
 There is an excavation to be formed in the road.
 Prior to the commencement of works the area will be barriered off and signage in place to allow the
works to proceed.
 A cat scan will be undertook to ensure that the presence of any live services is highlighted.
 Digging is to be by hand as a precautionary measure.
 The area is to be scanned every 300mm.
 Whilst the excavation is being formed it will have barriers in place and also signage indicating there is an
excavation underway.
 Suitable access to the excavation will be provided in the form of a tied down ladder.
 At no time is the Excavation to be left uncovered.
 A steel plate is to be used at all times to protect the hole.
 Once the hole has been excavated a hole is to be drilled through the existing beam using a diamond
drilling rig.
 The rig is to be operated by a competent operator.
 The hole is to allow the drainage to be passed through the beam.
 A hole will be broken in the slab by an operative on the other side of the beam to allow the rest bend to
be installed.

Page 3 of 19 Method Statement No:

Doc No: 001 Revision No: 1.0
 Method Statement / Risk Assessment

 This is to be as per the Engineers drawings and will be connected to a pipe that is passed through the
beam.
 Once the rest bend has been installed the slab will be reinstated to the concrete specifications’ details.

Waste Removal:

Transport the waste to the CONTRACTOR waste storage area to await loading into a skip. Waste removal is to be
booked in with the waste removal company. Confirm times the day before with MAIN Contractor Site
management who will then book in the arrival times with the XXXX Gatekeepers. Once skip truck arrives load the
skip.

Other Routine Arrangements:

Daily task briefings are required prior to works commencing each day to be handed in to MAIN CONTRACTOR
management or works are ceased until complete.
The worksites will be maintained clean, tidy and in good condition at all times. Materials and waste will be
stacked tidily, with power leads and cables kept tidy to prevent trips.
During the course of the work, site operatives will give full consideration to the Health & Safety of all 3 rd parties
working on or adjacent to the work location. The work site will be kept in an orderly state to avoid endangering
any such person.
Where there are any variations in the work, amendments will need to be made and recorded on this document.
Checked (Inspection &
6.2 Inspections must be carried out as detailed in line with the MAIN CONTRACTOR procedures.
