    The document outlines the open cut method for excavating a trench to access and repair or replace an underground pipe crossing a road. Key steps include: 1. Preparing the site by studying drawings and checking for other buried utilities. 2. Surveying the work area and marking excavation boundaries. 3. Excavating the trench using machinery like an excavator and cutting machine. 4. Lowering the new pipe into the trench, backfilling, and compacting layers. 5. Restoring the road surface to its original condition.

    The open cut trench method involves excavating down to and exposing the existing pipe so that it can be repaired or replaced and then backfilled. Traffic management measures like signboards, flagmen and speed limits will be implemented.

    The steps include preparation work like studying drawings and checking site conditions, surveying work, excavating the road, lowering the pipeline and backfilling, and road restoration as per original structures.

    Equipment that will be used includes excavator, road cutting machine, dump truck, sludge pump and generator set. Machinery includes watering cart.

    METHOD STATEMENT: OPEN CUT

    1) Introduction
    The open cut trench method involves excavating down to and exposing the existing
    pipe so that it can be repaired or replaced and then backfilled.
    The detail method and length of road crossing should be subjected to construction
    drawing.
    2) Scope

    Existing underground piping crossing the road (Refer Attached Drawing).

    3) Tools/Machinery

    Excavator
    Road Cutting Machine
    Dump Truck
    Sludge Pump
    Generator set
    Watering Cart

    4) Safety, Health & Environment

    Workers will be supplied with necessary PPE.


    Sufficient warning tape and barrier shall be installed on working site.
    Visible direction and warning sign shall be provided away from excavation point.
    Battery or genset powered lights should be deployed during the hours of darkness
    around barricades.
    Flagmen will be on site to guide the traffic flow during the process.
    During the process of soil disposal, should arrange some specially-assigned person
    to clean the soil falling on the road.
    Watering the transportation road continuously to avoid raise dust.

    5) Traffic Management

    According to the actual situation, Contractor will close one side road to ensure
    vehicle and people safety will go smoothly.
    Set signboard and flagmen to guide vehicle to pass through the point. A speed limit
    was set and a flagmen was assigned at the exit point to prevent a traffic jam or
    accident.
    Contractor HSE representative will monitor the compliance of this plan and to take
    correct actions where observed.
    6) Procedure

    a. Preparation work
    To study all relevant drawings, depth of crossing, check whether equipment
    and materials for construction are delivered at site.

    Check the site condition, whether any other facilities was buried near the
    crossing location. If it has, the facilities shall be exposed by hand tools firstly.
    Any trial holes excavated in roads or adjacent verges to locate services or
    apparatus will be properly protected by appropriate traffic signs and barriers.

    b. Surveying work
    Formal layout survey of the road crossing will be undertaken noting centre line
    and crossing limits by Contractor.

    The centreline will be established along the crossing central axis according to
    the control stakes and centreline stakes arranged by pre-construction survey.

    c. Road excavation
    Contractor shall mark out the boundary line of the trench according to the
    crossing axis and the design width of the trench.

    Contractor shall use cutting machine to cut the two sides of section road, and
    then make small cuts on the road surface with excavator to break the adhesion
    of the road.

    d. Pipeline lower-in and backfill


    After completion of ditching, Contractor shall level off the ditch bottom
    according to the design requirement.

    Then, the pipeline shall be lowered in the trench to its proper position, sand
    bedding materials as per design specification will be installed to specified
    minimum depth, below and above pipeline.

    Pipes will be installed by soft slings or by methods that does not incur surface
    damage. On final placement, all exterior surfaces of the pipes will be tested to
    verify no damages where such has occurred all repairs will be undertaken and
    re-tested prior to any backfilling.

    The sub-base and base course layer for open cut crossing road with concrete
    slab shall be reinstated as per existing and these layer shall be compacted,
    tested and witnessed by client/consultant.
    If the soil under trench is over excavated, the over excavated shall be backfilled
    and compacted.

    e. Road restoration
    Road restoration will be undertaken as per the original road base structures
    and surfacing referenced in design specification or as per existing road surface.

    Contractor will compile all documentation necessary for perusal and handover
    to clients/consultant.
