the training and development of his subordinates; Organize with the Project/Site Engineer
to ensure the availability of plant, equipment, and labor to his designated work activities;

Closely monitor the usage of consumables and materials by his crew in order to minimize
wastage; Assess the craftsmanship of subordinates under his control.

HSE Manager
Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) managers generally plan, coordinate and
implement issues and directives within the organization. He ensures safe environmental
working conditions for all employees.

HSE Engineer
Ensure enforcement of safety procedures in accordance with the approved HSE Plan.
Will be closely monitoring the site engineer’s strict implementation of the MS and Risk
Assessment, the use of proper tools and equipment to maintain safety, certifications of
equipment and their adherence to safety regulations, reporting of any unsafe work or
stopping work that does not comply with ES & H procedures.

II. Concrete Repair

All concrete repairs shall be done in accordance with the approved Method Statement
for Repair of Concrete 

Manual chipping of concrete honeycomb prior to repair


1.1 General
Particular Specifications for Concrete
1. Any defect noticed in concrete shall be rectified by methods approved by the
consultant and client.
2. This method statement shall be adopted when concrete defects are identified at the
site after post-concrete work inspection specifically after stripping of the formed
surface.

3. All materials to be used for repair works shall be submitted for approval thru
Material Transmittal.
4. All proprietary materials shall be used strictly in accordance with the
materials manufacturer’s instruction and/or recommendations.
5. Curing for Concrete Patchwork:
Polyethylene or plastic sheets shall be used to cover concrete patchwork. Unless
otherwise specified in the technical data sheets, curing shall be carried out for 2-3
days. If curing compound/membrane is used, they shall be compatible with the
repair products.
6. Store unmixed materials in a cool (preferably temperature-controlled)
environment, avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.
7. Keep equipment cool, arranging shade protection if necessary. It is especially
important to keep cool those surfaces of the equipment, which will come into
direct contact with the material itself.

1. Pinholes and Blowholes


Probable Cause/s: Insufficient Vibration, High W/C Ratio
a. Attention to the full and proper preparation of the substrate is essential for
complete repair adhesion.
b. The substrate should further be ‘roughened’ to remove excess laitance, to
expose pinholes & blowholes, and to provide a mechanical key for subsequent
application of approved material. This is most effectively achieved by the use of
proprietary blast media, such that the fine aggregate is exposed but not polished.
Where preparation techniques result in voids of greater than 10 mm depth,
alternate methods,s and materials shall be used as an approved material data sheet.
c. Immediately prior to the application of approved material, the prepared substrate
should be blown clean with oil-free compressed air.
d.Substrate priming shall be done following the procedure mentioned in an
approved material-technical datasheet. Small quantities (up to 5 kg) can be mixed
manually but large quantities of special tools referring to the manufacturer’s
procedure shall be obtained and used.
e. The application of repair material shall be done strictly in accordance with the
manufacturer’s datasheet.
f. Curing shall be followed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

2. Removal and Repair of Construction Temporary Embedments


All temporary construction embedments such as temporary mechanical or
electrical sleeves, block-outs, etc. shall be removed and repaired using suitable
approved repair materials and as per the manufacturer’s recommendation.
a. After removal of any temporary embedments, remove any loose areas, laitance,
and any foreign materials that will affect the bonding of repaired materials.
b. If the embedded item reached the location of reinforcement, ensure to remove
any rust formation not only on the exposed surface but also on the rear side of the
reinforcement bars.
c. Apply corrosion treatment prior to starting the repair.
d. Proceed with the application of approved suitable materials as required.
e. Curing shall be done as per the approved curing process or as recommended by
the manufacturer.

III. Risk Assessment Please refer to the attached document in Appendix B.

IV. Permit and Licensing Requirements Necessary permits shall be obtained.

V. Drawings, Diagrams, Maps, and Survey Data sketches shall be attached to the


submitted INR.

VI. Pre-Start Safety Briefing Arrangements Refer to Risk Assessment in Appendix B.
