1.0 Introduction
This Method Statement describe in details the on site installation and testing of
UPVC Storm Water Riser and the requirements of checks to be carried out for Oryx
Engineering Solution Center Project at RLIC.
This Method Statement covers installation and testing of UPVC storm water riser
work at site. UPVC Pipes and Fittings will be manufactured in accordance with
Doc. No. _____________________________________, and project specification
_________________ and approved drawing.
Materials:
Pipes: 350 mm and smaller size. Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) Pipe
and Fittings: Schedule 40 UPVC DWV pipes and UPVC fittings, with solvent
cement joints, ASTM D2564.
Application:
Location and size of pipes and fittings are as per approved shop drawings.
The works described in this Method Statement covers the installation of UPVC
Pipes and associated fittings such as Tees, Elbows and Reducers, Coupling, Wye,
Double Wye and Roof Drain, etc for storm water riser.
The procedure provides guidance for assessing the activities for installation of
UPVC pipes for storm water riser. This guidance is based on the requirements set
forth in the Safety Requirement Document (SRD) and The Quality Assurance
Program (QAP). Also this Method Statement covered in brief about the installation
procedure with respect to approved shop drawing and the manufacturer
recommendations.
3.0 Objectives
4.1.1 Pipes and fittings will be off loaded in our lay down area prior to
transport to site.
4.1.2 Timber supports of suitable size shall be placed at equal distance
below the pipes.
4.1.3 Pipes shall be stacked on a flat surface free from any sharp objects and
shall be given adequate supports at all times.
4.1.4 Pipes and fittings shall not be stored under direct sun light.
4.1.5 While stacking it shall be ensured that pipes of bigger sizes will be
placed at the bottom and smaller sizes at the top.
4.1.6 Manufacturers recommendations shall be followed, where applicable.
4.1.7 End caps shall be in place until taken out for installation.
4.1.8 Delivery of UPVC pipes and fittings will be checked / inspected by
Contractor QC Engineer to ensure all items on the delivery note are
correct prior to signing. Any shortage or damaged items should be
recorded on the delivery note and reported to the Engineer.
4.2.1 All workers to attend Safety induction training on the safe installation
methods by the BIMCO Safety Department.
4.2.2 Ensure that the necessary tools and equipment are available to carry
out the work.
4.2.3 Ensure that all related material (solvent cement, thinner, and cleaner)
are approved make and not expired and are available before carrying
out work.
4.2.4 Prior to commencement of work, areas and access will be inspected to
confirm that installation site area is ready to commence the work, NCI
will be raised.
4.2.5 Site Supervisor and Foreman will carry out a site survey and mark the
route of storm water piping as per approved shop drawings. In the
event that there are any discrepancies or difficulties in executing the
work, these will be brought to notice of Project Engineer for corrective
action.
4.2.6 Coordination with other trades will be carried out while marking the
route of piping.
4.2.7 All relevant documentation (drawings, checklists, method statement,
etc.) and material applicable to particular section of works will be
checked by the Site Engineer / Supervisor prior to commencement of
4.3.1. Ensure that the shafts are clear and open. Liase will ATC if necessary.
4.3.2 Ensure that the access for maintenance of pipes in the shaft is provided.
4.3.3 Make sure that the proper working platforms are made for safe working
inside the shaft and all safety PPE are available.
4.3.4 Any cut edges of angles, channels or threaded rods will be painted with
Galvanized Paint/Primer.
4.3.5 Proper materials including pipes, fittings and associated accessories are
withdrawn from stores according to approved shop drawing and good
engineering practices.
4.3.6 Determine the position of supports / hangers for the pipes and mark out on
the concrete surface.
4.3.7 As far as possible, supports for storm water riser shall be fabricated at
BIMCO workshop at site as per approved shop drawing. Fabrication at on
site location will be minimized.
4.3.8 Fix the supports using either self drilling anchor bolts or appropriate size
masonry drill. Ensure threaded rod, angles, clamps, etc are straight, tight
and secure. Only approved support system will be used.
4.3.9 The spacing of the supports for the vertical and horizontal pipes shall be in
accordance with the approved details drawings and applicable standards.
4.3.10 Prior to installation the pipes and fittings will be carefully uplifted by
lifting hoist and will be delivered at correct location.
4.3.11 Pipes are cut to required length and all sharp edges and burrs shall be
removed.
4.3.12 Assemble the pipes and fittings as per approved shop drawing.
4.3.13 Before jointing, the pipes and fittings shall be checked for defects and the
jointing surfaces shall be cleaned thoroughly.
4.3.14 Manufacturers recommendations shall be followed as applicable.
4.3.15 Install the pipes including all accessories as per drawings.
4.3.16 After installation of the pipes, fittings and associated accessories, check
for correct leveling, position and alignment.
4.3.17 Install temporary cap to any open ends of pipes to minimize ingress of
foreign material.
Lightly roughen the mating surface of the spigot and socket using
emery cloth.
Thoroughly clean again the mating surface using the cleaning fluid
and clean cloth. Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
Using recommended size brush, apply an even layer of solvent
cement to the spigot and socket mating surfaces. The cement should be
applied in length wise direction and not in circular motion. For joints
size 3 nominal diameter and above, the cement should be applied
simultaneously to the spigot and socket by two people.
Immediately after applying solvent cement and after ensuring that
the parent pipe is suitable anchored, push the spigot fully home in to the
socket without turning the pipe. The Spigot should be inserted with
steady, continuous motion and held in position from around the mouth of
the socket.
Surplus cement should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Leave the joint undistributed for five (5) minutes, and then handle
with reasonable care.
5.1 Determine if the procedures are in conjunction with the pertinent drawings and
attributes are specified and controlled within the limits permitted by the
applicable standard.
5.1.1 Lay out drawing of the Storm Water Riser it is the fundamental
drawing of a storm water riser system.
5.1.2 Installation drawing of the Storm Water Riser system This drawing
shows the location of the supports/hangers.
5.1.3 Support structure drawing This drawing is typical for support
structure as for the Storm Water Riser system supporting.
The Engineer should verify that the Supervisor / installer with construction
responsibilities for the Storm Water Riser works is familiar with this Method
Statement and is issued with copies of the inspection checklists.
Storm water piping works need to follow strictly established codes and
safety procedures. Care should be taken to ensure that applicable codes and
standards be strictly adhered to during installation.
The Engineer / Supervisor should verify that the safety standards for
sufficient knowledge of the procedures for the installation of \Storm Water
piping. Review any training and qualification records for those individuals
who shall do the task to determine whether they are skilled enough to
follow the procedure before the actual work is carried out. He shall ensure
that the installers are qualified.

Work.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe work
practice.
Safety Inspection
It is the responsibility of the Site Engineer and Supervisor to inspect the areas
under their control during complete installation activity. This inspection shall
include the job site cleaning installation and after end of day work.
