QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL PROCEDURE

Proposed method of statement shall be provided to the S.O. before the execution of
work. Daily report of site progress and requesting for inspection of work done shall be
made to the S.O. for his approval.

PREPARATION

1. Ensure that the area for all building extension works are barricaded properly for public
safety.
2. Ensure all safety precautions are followed closely or as instructed by safety officer.
3. Minimize noise emission a well as vibration generation.
4. Ensure that nettings or coverings are provided to minimize spreading of dust.
5. Barricade the area and erect hoarding as per drawing specification to ease access and
egress of machinery access.
6. Divert all public traffic with hoarding and appoint a traffic controller to manage all
access throughout the construction period.

SEQUENCED METHODOLOGY

A. DEMOLITION OF EXTERNAL FACILITIES AND SITE CLEARING


1. These shall include clearing, grubbing and removing all trees, shrubs, vegetation and
butts; and clearing using excavators and bulldozers / other approved machineries,
demolishing, breaking up and removing all everything above ground level Site which
have been designated to be demolished or removed.
2. All spoil and debris shall be removed and disposed of at approved disposal site as
approved by the S.O. in accordance with Environmental Quality Act 1974 (Act 127) and
Regulations.
3. Before commencing on any excavation, the Contractor or his representative shall
accompany the S.O. on a site inspection to identify the presence of underground cables,
water or other service pipes at or in the vicinity of such excavation. Thereafter, the
Contractor shall carry out the excavation work in a manner and sequence as approved
by the S.O.
4. If during excavation, the Contractor's workmen uncover any cables, water or other
service pipes, work shall be stopped immediately and shall not be again started until the
matter has been reported to the S.O. who will notify the appropriate local authority, and
subsequently issue whatever directions he deemed appropriate.
5. The construction team shall maintain all existing site excess, roads, footpath, service
drain, etc. and reinstate any damage caused by any reason whatsoever during the
progress of the works.
6. Transport away all demolished material away from site before proceed with the next
work.
7. Compact and level the ground finishing level using a compact roller for preparation of
structural works.

B. STAGE 1 - RAS EXTENSION


B.1 PILING – MICROPILE AND PRECAST CONCRETE PILE
Please refer to the attached Method Statement for Micropiles and Precast
Concrete Pile.

B.2 STRUCTURAL WORKS - CONCRETING

1. Prepare the formwork based on the structure dimension indicated in the


Construction Drawing.
2. The formwork shall be able to withstand the pressure of the concrete and can
allow the concrete placement and vibration as well as support the solid concrete
in an accurate position.
3. Fix and support all required reinforcement prior to concreting.
4. Inspect the cleanliness, reinforcement steel, cast in items and dimensions
carefully before proceeding to place in the concrete.
5. Place the concrete carefully into the formwork using crane or truck mounted
concrete pump.
6. Consolidate the concrete using mechanical or electrical vibrators.

B.2 OTHER WORKS

1. Proceed with architectural, mechanical and electrical works as per


Construction Drawings and specification.
2. Ensure that the area is fully completed in all nature required before
proceeding to the next scope of work.
SAFETY AND HEALTH

Special safety and precautionary measures are adopted for the safety of the personnel
and the surrounding structures. All site personnel shall comply with the HSE procedures
and regulations. Regular maintenance checking shall be conducted to all machineries
and equipment as working access at site. Safety and health measures shall be provided
to safeguard all people working at site and particular attention shall be paid to the areas
which are near to public.

Common questions

Spoil and debris from demolition should be promptly removed and disposed of at approved disposal sites as per the Environmental Quality Act 1974 (Act 127) and its Regulations. The demolition and clearing should use compliant machinery, and the process must ensure no interference with existing site services .

Typical machinery and equipment required for building extensions include excavators, bulldozers, jackhammers, compact rollers, lorries, cranes with buckets, mechanical or electrical vibrators, and truck mounted concrete pumps .

During concrete placement, the formwork must be prepared based on structural dimension specifications and able to withstand concrete pressure, allowing for correct placement and vibration. Concrete is placed using a crane or truck mounted concrete pump and consolidated with mechanical or electrical vibrators .

Proper barricading of the area is important to ensure public safety and prevent unauthorized access to the construction site. It minimizes risks related to construction activities, such as debris or machinery accidents .

The primary responsibilities of the Site Supervisor include supervising all works and ensuring that all instructions and safety procedures are strictly followed .

The quality assurance and control procedure involves submitting the proposed method of statement to the S.O. before executing work, making daily reports of site progress, and requesting inspections of completed work for S.O. approval .

Existing site amenities such as roads, footpaths, and service drains must be maintained throughout the project. Any damage caused during the construction process must be rectified, including full reinstatement to their prior state .

Safety and health measures are critical for protecting site personnel and surrounding structures. These include adherence to HSE procedures, regular maintenance checks on machinery, and particularly safeguarding areas near the public. It ensures a decrease in work-related accidents and incidents, promoting a safer working environment .

Before starting excavation work, the Contractor or representative must conduct a site inspection with the S.O. to identify underground cables, water, or other service pipes. If any utilities are uncovered during excavation, work must be stopped immediately and reported to the S.O., who will notify the appropriate local authority .

Traffic control is essential to ensure safety and minimize disruption, particularly when public traffic patterns are altered for construction activities. The area must be hoarded properly, and a traffic controller should manage all access to facilitate safe movement for construction and public traffic .
