1. SITE CLEARANCE PLAN

1.1. Site Clearance

The clearance of the site will follow sequentially with the development of the site. Once the temporary
facilities are no longer required they will be cleared away and debris will be immediately transported to
the designated dumping location. The order of execution of the works is as explained below
1. Prior to commencing the construction, construction permit shall be obtained from the local
authority.
2. Pre-construction survey shall be done for the surrounding areas to record the existing
environment before construction. This will include capturing the existing surrounding utilities,
building and infrastructures.
3. Survey the construction site and locate existing utility amenities including water, electricity,
sewerage lines and possible phone lines.
4. Determine the exact boundaries for fencing with the help of the blueprints given by the project
client.
5. Hoarding permit shall be obtained before erecting the site hoarding. This shall include the
permit for the Project Sign Board. The Project sign board will be removed after the completion
of the project
6. Boundary, topographic and hydrographic survey shall be done to get detailed information of
the project site. All areas blocking the surveying will be cleared away
7. Upon approval of the permit, hoarding shall be erected around the project site. Project sign
board shall also be erected at approved location. Signs outside the fence should include
"Construction Work in Progress" and "All Visitors Must Report to Site Office." Signs inside the
fence should introduce the site safety regulations, and give specifications about emergency and
first aid equipment. Hoarding will be removed after the completion of the permanent works.
8. Carry out soil tests on different locations on the site. The tests need to be analyzed by a
geotechnical engineer, an environmental engineer and lab technician. Soil test results can
indicate contamination or possible problems with foundations, excavations and concrete
pouring.
9. Search the site for underground utilities and obstacles such as old wells, excavation shafts,
electrical cables and gas or water channels. Remove obstacles, cover or fill if necessary.

 17. Construction plan with clearance strategy
Site surveying works, subsoil investigations, marine investigation, will be conducted. Site
preparation and earth works including all soil improvements if required will also be carried out.

Prior to the start of any excavation works the existing underground facilities will be
investigated, if any, such as pipes, cables, foundations, etc. will be located and carefully
removed to designated location. Areas around the facilities will be cleared and made good .The
major works will be:
The sequence of carrying out the execution will as follows:
a. Levelling of land, surveying and mark up of the various building layouts.
b. Setting up the admin offices, temporary fencing, set up of security, set up waste system
(sewage and domestic waste), office internet and phone system and etc.).
c. Our strategy to construct is to follow the process flow. And then all the auxiliary buildings
and other infrastructures.
d. The steel frame structure will be designed ahead for procurement of materials, preparation
of shop drawings, cutting, welding and fabrication before delivering of completed
components to site for installation work. Installation of steel structures will be carried out
with mobile cranes. Moving in of process equipment will be coordinated with the Building
Structure works.
e. Once the Process buildings floor slabs are completed, mechanical installation will start.
Skids will be installed on the floor slabs. This will be followed by the underground pipes,
pipes supports, within the building.
f. Electrical installation will follow shortly after the skids and pipes started installation.
Normally, about 2 months after mechanical installation start.

18. General Approach

The construction staging of the project will involve activities on the sites with concentration of
works during day possessions. While the main construction method is discussed here, detailed
method statement for each activity shall be submitted for approval prior to commencement of
any works. The number machineries to be used during the activities shall be identified upon
starting of the works. Typical work sequence of the construction.

Site Clearance Plan February 2018 6|P a g e

 Before the commencement of any works, approved construction drawings and relevant permit
shall be obtained from the authorities. The main activities involved for the construction shall be
a. Site Clearing Works
Prior to the commencement of works, the setting out shall be carried out by the qualified
Surveyor to ensure the platform that has been handed over at the correct levels.

b. Excavation and Underground Services

Once the surveying of the building (i.e. Building Control Points) is executed by the surveyor
as specified in the endorsed Pre-computation plan, the proposed corners of the buildings
and boundary walls are pegged.
i. Excavation, fills and compaction
Once the pegging is in place, cement or plaster dust is sprinkled beneath the perimeter
building lines to act as a guide for trenching and excavating. Platform and Floor finish
level will be based on the TBM as the reference / localized datum.
The work shall be excavated to the dimensions as shown on the Construction
Drawings. Sides of excavation will endure a slight oversized trenching to allow for
installation of side timber formwork (including its bracings mechanism) or blocks.
Excavation for structures would be to the lines and grades shown or as required to
accomplish the construction. Maintain a tolerance of +/-25mm beneath plain concrete
foundations and +/-15mm beneath reinforced concrete foundations and ground
bearing slabs.
ii. Limits of Excavation
Excavate to the depths and widths, as shown. Allow for forms, working space, granular
base, and finish topsoil as shown or required. No excavation would be carried out for
raft and slabs deeper then elevation shown unless otherwise required achieving a
minimum structural fill depth. In excavation for foundation, bottom of excavation shall
not be disturbed. Manually excavate for the last 200mm to final level. All excavations
shall be kept clear of water arising from any cause. Barricade open excavations and
provide warning tapes and lights.
iii. Excavation for Trenches

Site Clearance Plan February 2018 7|P a g e

 Provide required clearance on both side for ample working room and other materials
(pipe or conduit). Excavate trenches to depths indicated and required. Do not backfill
trenches until test and inspection are carried out.
c. Backfilling and Compaction
Backfilling of earth around raft would be carried out in layers of using plate compactor (with
vibration). Place backfill material free of roots, organic matter, trash, and rocks larger than
4-inch diameter.

d. Removal of extra excavated materials

Excavated material that are of no use to the site will be remove to the designated dumping
ground.
e. Structural Steel Works
Structural steel frame shall be erected from one end while the installation skids and pipe
racks commence on the other end. For safety reasons, one activity will stop when they
meet at one point. This will speed up the construction works. Such sequence will be
outlined in detailed prior to starting the works. Detailed method statement shall be
supplied upon request prior to construction works for Client's review. Structural steel
erection shall involve:
i. Installation of hold-down bolts
ii. Erection of vertical members
iii. Levelling and Grouting of base plate
