GENERAL METHOD STATEMENT

Green Line Expedition Ltd is an established company in the ICT, construction and
logistics industry which seeks to execute all civil, building and roads projects
contracted to laid down specifications and also within the stipulated time in a bid
to contribute to national development. This is usually achieved through a
systematic process which the company embarks on from the time of award to the
time of handover. Each project is given the attention it deserves through the entire
planning and execution phase bearing in mind the environment in which the
project is located, and making the most possible use of the cultural, geographical
and physical information within the locality.

We hereby, propose to execute the routine maintenance of this road as follows:

Firstly, the company will carry out a detailed reconnaissance visit to the site by the
project manager. This visit will be used to identify the following:

i. The most suitable area to establish a camp site and an office,

ii. Decide on the suitable accommodation for site staff and workers,
iii. Conduct the labour market survey and assess how many workers are needed
to be imported from head office if need be. It is our policy to source labour
from the local market,
iv. Carry out community sensitization survey on the project in conjunction with
the local authorities and seek the necessary cooperation required from them.
Once the above information has been gathered then mobilisation will start.

MOBILISATION
This will involve the movement of all equipment, people and the initial startup
material to the site. It must be emphasized that suitable accommodation for the
workers will be secured before moving the workers to the site. A plan on how to
move the equipment, people and materials will be drawn, a copy of which will be
handed over to the employer’s representative on site. This will be called a
mobilisation schedule and will detail how plant, personnel and materials will be
moved to the site.

project is being delivered as per proposed schedule and also adhering to the
technical specifications laid down in the contract documents.
