1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Description

Mozambique LNG is a two-train, nominal 6.44 MTPA per train, LNG facility using APCI
liquefaction technology. Hydrocarbon condensate, separated from the feed is processed and
exported separately.

The facility will be constructed at a remote coastal location in the Cabo Delgado province of
Mozambique.

The feed stream is fed to the LNG plant which comprises gas/liquid separation, gas treatment
(removal of acid gas, dehydration and mercury), heavy component (C5+) removal followed
by gas liquefaction, storage and export. Condensate stabilization and export facilities are
also included.

Phase 1a of the project consists of the first two (2) LNG trains and relevant utilities.

separation of sections when pressurized.
 Chutes and elephant trunk sections will be secured with fail-safe chain or wire rope in
addition to regular couplings or connections.
 Workers shall be made aware of the risk of pressure build-up in the pump hose and potential

 Formwork will be removed and back filling & compaction will be done.
 Steel mesh and formwork for floor concreting to be assembled.
 After completing mesh fixing and formwork, concrete slab will be poured and floor float to
be completed.
 All floating will be done using a powered float machine.
 Prior to power floating the concrete must be left to partially set, having been levelled and
tamped. The amount of setting time necessary before power floating will depend on
variables such as; air temperature, humidity, the specification of the mix and so on. A
rough guide for considering when to begin power floating is when walking on the surface
leaves indentations of 3-4 mm. Floating will start at one end of the slab and moves to the
other. The operator will hold the float at waist-height and move backwards so that
the float removes their footprints. The speed should be slow and consistent. Once the
surface has been floated, the blades are to be angled to suit the concrete and achieve
the specified finish.
 After completing the concrete slab, allow cure of the slab and after this all formworks will be
removed (refer to 4.2 above).
 Housekeeping will be carried out at the end of each working day to remove surplus / waste
construction and unsuitable soils materials from the jobsite.

6.0 TRAINING

Training on the general requirements of this procedure shall be provided to personnel during site
orientation training.
Personnel conducting specific activities (i.e. competent person for inspections, PTW Holder, etc.)
will be provided specific training and assessment for relevant and specific activity/responsibility they
conduct.

7.0 TESTING & INSPECTIONS

Quality tests on concrete will be performed as a part of quality control of concrete structures. These
quality tests on concrete will give an idea about the properties of concrete such as strength,
durability, air content, permeability etc.
Refer to Appendix 7 of the Quality Control Plan for the Checklist to be used by the Quality Inspector
for conducting the tests.

7.1 Quality Tests

Workability Test on fresh Concrete

For testing the Workability of concrete mixture, we will perform the Slump test at site.

The compressive strength of the concrete cube test provides an idea about all the characteristics of
concrete. Cubes shall be taken by CCS JV for compressive test and result shall be shared with
Quality Manager of MCC.

8.0 ENVIRONMENT

Environmental considerations and controls shall be implemented in line with the requirements of the
SUBCONTRACTOR and CONTRACTOR Environmental Management Plans and Procedures.
Regarding the works within this Work Method Statement, specific consideration shall be given to
waste management of any concrete waste or spill, the listing of all hazardous substances used in a
SDS Register (shall be provided to CONTRACTOR), and the presence of applicable SDSs at the
work front, and inclusion of stated controls within the JHEA (i.e. PPE, eyewash).
Due to the remote and greenfield nature of the Project Site, wildlife interactions are considered a
daily possibility. The workforce shall be trained in awareness of snakes, insects (i.e. bees / wasps)
and other potential wildlife encounters as per the CONTRACTOR Wildlife Interaction Procedure.
All environmental incidents shall be reported to the CONTRACTOR Environmental Team as per
Project requirements.
