A site safety induction is to be provided by Volker Stevin which will include the site emergency procedures and personnel authorised to give instructions. All VS Piling personnel will be inducted into this Method Statement and Risk Assessment and will be briefed by the Operations Manager/Piling Supervisor and a copy given to the Volker Stevin Project Manager. Clear and safe access and egress to and from the site for our personnel and adequate demarcation from other operations (Site clearance etc). Suitable haul road & access to all areas for the works, including stable and well maintained piling platforms. This will be detailed in the VS Traffic Management Plan. Removal of obstructions. Adequate Welfare facilities. Setting out of the pile line and levels. A signed Permit to Work for pile installation operations (Appendix E). Other permits as necessary (eg Hot Works permit for cutting/ burning operations). Clear delineation and notification of any live overhead or underground services.

Mobilisation a) Deliveries The Piling Foreman will inspect the platform prior to the Movax setting up. If satisfactory, he will get the certificate from Appendix C signed off by the Volker Stevin Project Manager prior to any operations commencing. Offloading of the plant and ancillary equipment will be carried out within the site boundary. The low loader will reverse to the Queensferry Hotel Car park to the works area, the low loader will then be tracked off by the rig operator and track onto the cycle path. A banksmen is to be present at all times and the speed of the excavator is to be limited to a walking speed. Goalposts will be erected under the cables to establish a minimum height.. All deliveries will be made to the main site compound. No plant/materials are to be stored on the lower berm. All delivery vehicles will arrive with suitable edge protection. b) Equipment The Operations Manager will make the necessary arrangements via Volker Brooks (i.e. movement orders where necessary) for the delivery of the piling equipment to site. The proposed plant to be used on this project will be as follows: • 25tn excavator • 50v Movax unit • Telehandler • Weld set • Trailer unit

Methodology.

a) Delivery of sheet piles to works area Piles will be transported from the laydown area in the site compound to the works area along the bank East of Bascule Bridge. This method will utilise a trailer unit which will be transported by either the telescopic handler or VS dumper. A live road will need to be crossed VS are to provide traffic control management. CH1350-CH1500 Sheet piles will be loaded onto a trailer unit by means of the telescopic hander in the compound storage area. The trailer unit will then deliver the piles to the works area using the existing road up to The Queensferry Hotel. Once the trailer unit reaches the works area the 25tn Movax will unload the trailer and lay the piles along the cycle path ready to install. Works will be carried out in close proximity of live overheads, a safe working zone will be established and the excavator will be fitted with a slew restrictor. VS to mark the minimum safe working area on the footpath.

b) Pitching and driving sheet piles using Movax • • • • • •

The Piling Foreman will liaise with VS and agree the setting out locations of the piles and associated levels. The Piling Foreman will inspect the platform provided by VS for the Movax unit. If satisfactory he will obtain endorsement of the certificate within Appendix C by a representative of VS before commencing any operations. The sheet piles will be transported to the piling area by the trailer unit and offloaded using the 25tn Excavator. The sheets will be stacked in bundles of three to allow the Movax to manoeuvre them if required. The AU14 (upto 8m long) single sheet pile will be picked up by the Movax side grip. The pile will be placed on the track to allow the driver to manoeuvre the hammer over the pile and grip the section on the side. The pile will then be lifted and positioned onto the required line for the retaining wall. The pile will then be driven using the side grips of the hammer as far as possible depending on prevalent underlying ground conditions. The jaws of the hammer will then be released and the hammer moved up the pile and re-gripped onto the section and driven further.

Northern Gateway •

• • •

This will continue until the pile is driven far enough to allow the hammer to be positioned on top of the pile. Once the Movax is positioned on top of the pile and attached via the bottom jaw of the hammer the pile will be driven to it’s final level or refusal, whichever shall be the lesser. VS will provide a machine to remove any material to allow the piles to be driven to finished level. The next pile will be handled in a similar manner and pitched into the clutch of the previous pile. The pile will be driven in the same manner as the first. The pile installation will be continued in the same manner until the end of the pile line or a change in direction. Pile installation records will be kept on a daily basis together with daily record sheets and provided to VS at the end of each day for verification. If sheet pile refuses due to obstructions, the ‘what if’ table will be reviewed for a possible solution. The Project Manager (Hyder) will be informed by VS.

b)

Backdriving Sequence

•

If the piles refuse during driving with the Movax, impact driving may be required to drive the piles to final level to meet the project requirements. An Impact hammer will be mobilised to site and attached to the excavator. The hammer will commence driving under operation by the piling operative. The driving will be monitored throughout the driving process. Driving will stop upon the pile final level being reached or refusal of the pile under the driving process.

• • •

c) Controls & Monitoring o o o o

10.0

Volker Stevin will be responsible for clearly marking the line and level of all pile wall sections and confirming the levels prior to the rig moving to the next pile. Each pile will be checked for verticality as work proceeds by the Piling Foreman using a sprit level. The Piling Foreman will ensure that the piles are installed in accordance with the pile schedule and relevant drawings. Records will be kept of any piles which fail to achieve the required drive depth.

Labour Operatives engaged in the site works will be a piling foreman, Movax operator, and a piling operative. All operatives are trained and experienced in piling works. Training records of the operatives involved in the works will be provided at the pre commencement induction. To ensure compliance with this method statement a briefing will be held for all personnel involved.

WPC/4 - October 2011

Working Platform Certificate (FPS/WPC/4) Guidance on working platforms for tracked plant 1. Design 1.1.

The HSWA 1974 and CDM Regulations 2007 require the Principal Contractor to appoint competent Designers in respect of Working Platform design. This legislation explains how competence can be assessed by reference to professional qualifications or professional memberships and by reference to practical experience of the design of working platforms. Principal Contractors must be satisfied that a competent Designer has been appointed by them in accordance with the relevant legislation before they complete and sign the WPC.

1.2.

The stability of tracked plant is fundamentally dependent upon the provision of a suitable and sufficient working platform. It must be properly designed and installed to a recognised standard. Whilst the same type of rig may be operated by different companies, the design bearing pressures may differ due to the specific operating configuration of the rig and/or any modifications. Details of the plant to be used and bearing pressures will be provided by the specialist contractor in advance of work commencing.

1.3.

Working platform design is extremely sensitive to the bearing pressure and type of fill used in the platform. (For example, changing the angle of friction of the fill from 35 degrees to 45 degrees can halve the platform thickness.) It is therefore advised that the Designer may have to adopt conservative/cautious estimates of platform shear strength unless higher values can be demonstrated by testing or with reference to appropriate published data.

1.4.

The working platform must be free draining to prevent the build up of water and slurry. In the case of fine-grained sub-grades, a separation/filter membrane should be installed beneath the platform material to inhibit ‘pumping’ and infiltration of the fine-grained soils up into the platform material during wet weather (which can impair platform performance and increase maintenance costs).

1.5.

Proof testing of the platform can be carried out with a suitably sized circular plate subjected to the maximum design loading. Such testing, as part of an appropriately designed testing regime, should highlight any gross inconsistencies in platform performance. Potentially, significant savings in platform thickness and cost may be realised by adopting a more detailed testing strategy.

1.6.

The working platform must have a specified design life which starts before delivery of the piling equipment and ends on completion of all piling works. This includes load testing, integrity testing, investigation of non conformances and any remedial works.

1.7.

The specialist contractor is to advise the Principal Contractor at the earliest practicable opportunity should the specialist contractor become aware of any circumstances relating to the working platform that renders it unsafe.

2. Installation 2.1.

The FPS Working Platform Certificate is mandatory for all sites where a rig or attendant plant operates. It must be signed by an authorised representative of the Principal Contractor. This signature confirms that the legal duties required under CDM have been carried out.

2.2.

If the working platform is to be constructed or removed in phases while piling works are ongoing, then the extent of the platform must be clearly defined on the certificate and, in accordance with good practice, physically on site. This is particularly important where the platform material is removed from an area previously made available to the specialist contractor.

2.3.

The working platform provides access for all plant deliveries, sub-contractors and personnel associated with the specialist operations. Properly designed and installed the working platform could also provide suitable and safe access for following trades for the whole project.

2.4.

Poor definition of the edge of the working platform is a major cause of tracked plant instability. It is good practice that the working platform should extend at least 2m beyond the pile position/edge of the building to ensure sufficient safe working area for the specialists personnel and attendant plant. Where having to work within this 2m zone is unavoidable the Designer is to be informed of the requirement to design the platform for working up to its edge.

2.5.

Where access ramps are used to move between working levels these must be of sufficient gradient and width to allow the plant to move safely with the stability constraints of the machine. Ramps must be in a straight line between working areas.Rigs and cranes cannot change direction on ramps. Where a change in direction is required, this must be on a flat level platform.

3. Maintenance, modification, repair and reinstatement 3.1.

The working platform must be kept free draining. Water and slurry which is allowed to build up on the working platform can hide such hazards as recently constructed piles, trip hazards, uneven or unstable ground, services and excavations. Slurry can be transferred to work equipment which increases the risk of slips on steps as well as difficult handling of work tools.

3.2.

Obstructions encountered during installation of the piling works will generally require excavation to remove them. This can create a ‘soft spot’ which can result in the rig overturning. It is essential, therefore, that any excavations made in the working platform are reinstated to the designed standard, including any reinforcement and separation filter/membrane.

3.3.

The working platform shall be subject to regular inspection by a competent individual appointed by the Principal Contractor (e.g. the Temporary Works Co-ordinator) throughout its design life and after any reinstatement or any works which might have modified it. Any damaged or inadequate areas identified must be reinstated to the designed standard. Following the regular inspection, the Working Platform Regular Inspection Log shall be signed by an authorised representative of the Principal Contractor and issued to the specialist contractor with a layout drawing of the working platform amended as appropriate.

4. Working Platform Layout 4.1

Items that must be included and properly located on the working platform layout drawing and be notified by the Principal Contractor to the specialist contractor would include: detail of platform edges and 2m delineation, trial pits, services or voids, areas of backfilling, known underground basements; areas that are covered by the certificate or permit, test locations (if specified by the Designer of the platform) and any other feature that may affect the safety of operations.
