7 METHODOLOGY

7.1 Pre-site checks:

 Prior to start of construction and installation, site conditions to be checked

against the approved layout drawings
 Citiscape shall ensure that all required permits and NOC’s are availed and
approved before the commencement of the scope of works

7.2 Delivery to site:

 As required, Forklifts or boom loaders will be used to unload the materials on

site in the prescribed storage locations.
 Delivered material shall be stored at designated lay down area and shall always
be subject to inspection.

7.3 Procedure:

Method: Excavation for Cable Ducts.

 As built service drawings to verified by Citiscape to predetermine any clashes in construction.

 Exclusion zone barriers and warning signage will be set up around excavations to prevent any
unauthorized access by others into work zones.
 Citiscape surveyors will then proceed to mark out the areas for excavation.
 A task briefing and walk of work area will take place to ensure all labour & machine operatives
are aware of the task ahead.
 All operatives involved in this task will have read, understood & signed the Safe system of
work to carry out these works of which a copy will be filed in Citiscape site office for review.
 The machines will access the area directed by a Citiscape banks man.
 Before excavation starts trial, pits will be made to ensure the area is clear of services and in
accordance with the as built drawings.
 When all the above is complete the bobcats and excavators will then proceed to excavate pre-
determined areas to design specification.
 The excess debris will be loaded into a truck as works progress and stock pilled in an agreed,
pre-determined designated area.
 If at any point warning tape for any services become exposed Citiscape shall coordinate with
Consultant representative for further action.

Method: Installation of Cable Ducts and Cables

 All installation and testing shall be carried out by the regulations of the concerned Authority,
the relevant section of The Contract Specification and Manufacturers recommendations.
 Before commencement of any installation activity, the following procedures are required to
be carried out:
