7 Methodology
7.1 Procedure

7.1.1 Site Survey:

 Conduct a site survey to assess the condition of the marble cladding and
identify potential risk.
 Isolate the work area using barriers, warning signs and safety tape to prevent
unauthorized access.
 Directly control and give instruction to the working personnel to perform the
work as per execution plan, proper PPE’s.
 Identify and de energize any electrical wiring/fixtures near the site.
 Look if there’s any piping’s or any fire hydrant.

Page 3 of 9
7.1.2 Preparation of Tools and Equipment:
 Appropriate demolition tools such as hammers, chisels, and cutting tools will be
prepared and inspected.
 Mechanical equipment (e.g., angle grinder) folk lift can be used for lowering
heavy marbles to the ground
 Safety equipment (PPE)

7.1.3 Setup of Dismantling Zone:

 The dismantling zone will be cordoned off with barriers, and use of safety tape
to prevent unauthorized access.
 Erect scaffolding or access platforms with proper safety features, such as toe
board, guard rails, harness connected to robust anchor points.
 Ensure the scaffolding is stable and can withstand the weight of tools, worker
and material.
 A designated area will be set aside for storing reusable materials, where
marbles will be cleaned and protected

7.1.4 Marble Removal

 Begin dismantling from the topmost row of cladding, working downwards.

 Carefully remove the silicone/sealant around the marble using a suitable sharp
tool.
 Install suction cups on the surface of the tile to be removed, ensuring they are
securely attached.
 If the marble is fixed with (bolts/screws) begin by removing these with tools like
angle grinder/chisel
 Collect the detached marble on a pallet on the scaffolding, with a maximum of 4-
5 marbles per pallet.
 Use appropriate tools (e.g., chisel, hammer, pry bar) or use any mechanical
equipment’s such as angle grinder or rotary hammer to detach it from the wall.
 To carefully detach the marble cladding, the topmost layer will be detached off
the wall and made to lay on the scaffolding platform using the suction cups by
workers, and same towards to the down.
 Using boom truck/forklift or scissor lift for lifting of marbles.

7.1.5 Lowering marble to the ground

 The marble will be firstly shifted to the scaffolding platform and then by judging
the size and weight of the marble the equipment should be used either by
forklift/scissor lift or boom truck to lower it down to the ground.
 Adjust the folk lift tines as per the size of the marble, ensuring the folk lift is
parked on a stable surface.

Page 3 of 9
  The boom truck/scissor lift should be well equipped with the web sling and
shackles.
 Verify ground stability to support the weight of boom truck, scissor lift, scissor
lift.
 In this process there should be clear communication between the workers.
Special attention should be given to the safety measure.
 Avoid jerky movement to prevent damage to the workers or marble or loss of
control.
 Assign spotters or handlers on the ground to guide as it descends.

8 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND IMPACT

CONTROL MEASURES
8.1 Dust Control

 Sustainability: Prioritize recycling and reuse of materials where possible,

minimizing the environmental impact of demolition.
 Waste Segregation: Implement a system for separating recyclable and non-
recyclable materials.
 Dust and Noise Mitigation: Use dust control methods and minimize noise by
selecting quieter equipment for demolition.
 Using water sprinkling method/water spray when in confined space or as per
HSE requirement is a must
 Use vacuum system for collecting the dust within the perimeter where the work
is being held.

9 Quality Control

 Ensure that all materials are segregated and free from any damaged or defects.
 Photographic report shall be initiated before the work starts and upon
completion of the activity
 Salvage material to be counted if required bar code/qr code will be implemented
to ensure the quantity of the materials

10 Safety Precautions
 Ensure all workers wear appropriate PPE, including helmets, gloves, safety
glasses, and boots.
 Maintain proper ventilation when using bonding agents and other chemicals.
 Implement fall protection measures when working at heights.
 Provide adequate training for workers on the safe use of equipment and

Page 3 of 9
 materials.
 A Site Engineer and HSE officer will be monitoring the activity at all times.
 Site Engineer will ensure that the RAMS are communicated to the operatives
prior to commencement of the activity.
 Start briefing will be conducted and communicated to the operative. HSE
Officer will ensure that all required documents are valid and available. 3rd party
certificates for equipment, inspection on safety equipment and verify require
training of employees.
