1. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this method of statement is to cover the construction of Concrete

Encasement Protection for the Existing Irrigation line 250 mm dia at Tareeg 6, SAR
station 74. All works shall be carried out as per RC standard.
2. Scope of work:
This Method Statement explains the objectives and requirements of the steps to be
followed during the concrete encasement of 250 mm UPVC pipe or through 500 mm
FRP Sleeve pipe which is re enforced concrete.
This Method Statement refers to different guidelines prepared specifically for this
SAR project and the guidelines specifies the laminate thickness, bonding area, number
of layers of each glass, resin type quantity, tie connection, concrete duct bank for
embankment area in All these parameters depend on the joint diameter pressure
rating.
Inspection:
It is important to inspect all the pipes and fittings or any components which are used in the
system prior to assembling the joints. 100% of the exterior surface shall be inspected
visually and the internal surface shall be inspected wherever accessibility is possible.
Pre-Inspection:
1 Ensure that the pipe pieces to be joined by lamination are free from any damages.
.
2 Ensure availability of raw materials and consumables including necessary tools
. and equipment.
3 Ensure access is provided in the area where jointing to be carried out.
.
4 Ensure availability of personal safety equipment such as goggles, dust mask,
. safety shoes and hand gloves. (any site specific items required, FPC)
5 Temporary shelter for the raw materials and personnel shall be provided during
. the work execution especially during summer season.

General Precautions:
1. FANAR POWER site team or client qualified technician shall perform the
joining of the field Fiber strong joint system.
2. The prepared bond surface area should not have an influence of grease, oil,
dust, moisture, water etc. Clean the surface in accordance with instructions.
3. During the curing process the assembled joint shall not be disturbed under
any circumstances.
4. The resin / hardener mixture will cure too fast if it is mixed above 300C and
the work shall be carried out within the pot life after mixing the Resin &
Hardener. Never use resin / hardener mixture that has started curing or
turned tacky.
5. Adequate precaution shall be taken for the following environment
conditions.
6. The weather conditions around the work place are containing high humidity,
mist, sandstorm etc.
7. Arrange makeshift tents to protect the pipe assembly directly exposed to the
atmosphere.
8. The prepared joint assembly shall be warmed up to avoid moisture contents
on the bonding surface. If required.
9. Once the warming process is completed the joint shall be re-sanded before
applying the resin/ hardener mixture 16-24 grit disc
10. The fabrication process shall be performed within 1-2 hours, it not re-
sanding shall be carried out.
Site Planning & Preparation:
a) Before commencing work encroachment permits from RC are necessarily

needed. Site supervisor will be assigned as responsible for the activity
covered by this method statement. A site specific briefing on this method
statement, risk assessment and the emergency procedure will be provided to
all operatives and a briefing register will be signed. A copy of the method of
statement and emergency procedures will be kept on site in welfare facilities.
A start card will be prepared, briefed and understood by all prior to start of

elevation with level. Make sure that the settling out shall be marked and
inform consultant for checking and approval.
Excavation:
 Prior to start excavation work, Necessary permits and detail discussions must
be taken between the RC coordinate dept., and to identify the extent of the
proposed excavations.
 Hand excavation must be applied in closed to locate existing underground
utilities.
 Once it is confirmed that there are no underground utilities then the site
foreman along with the excavator shall expose the existing Potable water line
that have to be protected.
Compaction:
 Then the bottom area of the new concrete encasement will be compacted.
The selected area will be compacted to at least 95% of the maximum
modified proctor density as determined by ASTM D1557.
Concrete Blinding:
 Wooden batten will be manually installed as blinding formwork. The form

work elevation shall be controlled with level. Concrete used for blinding will
be ready mix concrete, supplied by RC approved concrete supplier, deliver to
construction site with concrete mixer, poured with concrete pump and neared
by manpower. The surface of poured concrete will be smoothened with
wooden trowels and then covered with geotextile and poured with water or
curing compound for curing.
