CONSTRUCTION METHOD STATEMENT BRIDGE
1. SCOPE OF METHOD STATEMENT
This method statement relates to the construction of foundations and superstructures for a bridge. The
scope of work comprises the construction of the bridge respectively.
2. GENERAL APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION AND CONSTRUCTION TIME
Construction activities sites will include:
Site establishment, including offices, services and amenities.
Piling for the support columns of the bridge..
Construction of temporary fences and access gates and if required, temporary noise and dust
abatement facilities around the site compounds.
Construction of temporary environmental protection works, including stormwater
management, and truck wheel washing facilities.
Construction of temporary structures and footings required for the launch of the bridge from
the site. Work will include preparation of hardstand areas for crane access and a long steel
structure for the assembly and launching of the bridge.
Erection and assembly of the bridge sections on the temporary launch structure erected on the
site compound. The assembled bridge should include the protection mesh, precast concrete
slab shells for the floor and temporary timber sides to prevent objects falling to the track
during and after the launch.
Installation and testing of the launching equipment.
Placement and erection of the crane in the south side of the corridor. The crane will need to be
erected the day before the launch.
3. CONSTRUCTION OF BRIDGE
3.1. General
The project includes construction of the main bridge columns and foundations, and launching of a 50-
m span prefabricated bridge. The bridge structure would have been prefabricated off site, brought to
site in short lengths and preassembled on a launching platform constructed on the site, on the same
alignment as the bridge.
BINAMASYHUR
The main support columns will be located adjacent to the north and south sides of the rail
corridor and at least 8.9-m clear of the nearest tracks. The columns will be constructed of reinforced
concrete on piled foundations.

4. Potential Construction Impacts
The potential construction impacts resulting from construction of the bridge include:
Runoff.
Noise.
4.1. Stormwater Management
The main construction compound will be on theabutment. The compound will include the work
site for the construction of the piled foundations and bridge pier of the northern bridge support, as well
as the site for the temporary structures and equipment required for the assembly and launch of the
bridge.
The temporary site drainage will need to be designed to collect the runoff, remove the silt .
Where possible the collected runoff should be directed to an existing drain after the silt has been
removed or to the street if acceptable by the relevant authorities.
The other construction area is the site of the southern bridge pier. Similar precautions to
prevent runoff flow to the corridor and the street should be taken. After construction the work
compounds will be restored to their initial condition. The bridge will be designed to minimize any
concentration of rainfall to the rail corridor.
4.2. Noise
Most of the work before and after the erection of the bridge will be carried out on the site. No
night work should be necessary other than work which should occur during possessions and for this
project, it is envisaged that only survey works may be required.
During the launching operation, activities sites will continually generate low levels of noise for
the 48 hours of the weekend.
Potential sources of noise include the piling rigs, crane operation, excavator operation, and
operation of plate and vibratory roller compactors.
BINAMASYHUR
If required, the noise impact may be mitigated by the use of temporary noise walls along the
affected boundaries.
