Rehabilitation Road Method Statement

Method Statement for Construction of Graded Crushed

Stone Base Using Paver
The Pug mill Mixer will be located at the source of the material (Quarry site at Km 113 and/or at Iganga) The main purpose for the use of the pug mill will be to achieve uniform and controlled mixture of the GCS at the required moisture content. Mixed GCS from the pug mill through the conveyor will be loaded onto tipper trucks and hauled to the paver along the road alignment. Laying of the GCS base will be done by a similar method as that of laying DBM using a paver, including compaction works. .. Equipment and Plant to be used A. Mixing Site 1) Pug mill Mixer + Feeding and outlet Conveyors 2) 20,000 Litres storage Water Tank 3) Water Tank to ensure continuous supply of Water 4) Generator ~ 100 KVA to provide power 5) Wheel Shovel CAT 950 or equivalent to feed pug mill with base material from the stockpile. 6) Water pump B. Road 1) Paver vogele 1800 or equivalent 2) Pneumatic Roller ~ 2 No. 3) Vibrating Roller 4) Survey team to Control the levels 5) Tipper trucks ~ number as required (minimum 4~6 No.) Manpower Required Pavement Works Superintendent ~1 No. Paver Foreman ~1 No. Mixing and Transport Foreman ~1 No. Operators ~5 No. Drivers ~8 No. Field Mechanic ~1 No. Labourers ~6 No. Surveyor ~1 No. Chainman ~3 No. Time Keeper ~1 No. Total ~27 M/day

1. Scope of Works This method statement describes the operation to undertake the tack coating of primed GCS base or DBM binder course before paving the following layer. 2. Reference Documents General Specifications for Road and Bridge Works Republic of Uganda Volume 3A Section 4500 Quality Control Plan: 110.199/QCP/005 3. Materials MC 3000 Cutback Bitumen complying with Specification BS 3690 4. Plant and Labour Binder Distributor, calibrated and approved. Roads authority certificate valid for 12 months Mechanical rotary broom Hand tools Labour 5. Application (Construction) Confirm primed base or DBM to be tack coated has been approved to tack coat. Ensure traffic control measures in position and correct. Prepare GCS base or DBM binder course by mechanical and or hand sweeping to remove loose material or dust on surface of area to be tack coated. Obtain approval from Engineers representative to apply tack coat. Set out line for binder distributor to follow. Dip distributor, record quantity and temperature of MC3000 in distributor. Binder sprayed Dip distributor, record quantity sprayed and calculate application rate of tack coat. Start paving when tack has dried.

6. Hazards and Risks Risk assessments Refer to: - Health and Safety Plan: 110.199/PRM/QSE/HSP/001 - BASIL READ Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Forms On going risk assessments and training of personnel is seen as paramount importance to site management with the view to maintain a high priority on safety risks issues. Environmental risks Refer to: - Environmental Management Plan: 110.199/PRM/QSE/EMP/001 The following environmental risks have been identified: Dust Fuel and Oil Spillage Spillage of MC3000 Smoke and Vapor emissions Waste Material

Measures to control and minimize risks are in place and the monitoring of these controls remains the responsibility of all site personnel.
