PREPARATION FOR FILLING OF WATER-WAYS AT AMBUKLAO

FILLING OPERATION Filling is made by use of two pumps at the intake, one pump is spare for the other. Use of the gate is not permitted. Filling shall be made in a controlled manner, not exceeding an average pressure increase of 5 m/hour. Stops in the filling is done to record the drawdown over time, and to obtain the average filling speed. During filling and stops, the level of water in the shaft shall be recorded, both automatically and manually. 10 stops for water level monitoring is planned. Increasing the water level to the next stop may take place when the water drawdown is levelling out. This is considered when the drawdown is 2 - 3 m/h. At firsts stops several refilling may be required before we may observe a levelling out. Before filling starts, various works needs to be done and items controlled. Checklist is made for this purpose. The filling is expected to take approximate 4 days.

MONITORING PROGRAM

In addition to monitor the water level in the water way, the following monitoring points shall be regularly monitored: Pressure behind lining in manifold area Pore pressure monitoring points in Access to Power House and outside adit plug. Leakage points in Access tunnel/valve Chamber, existing and New Leakages over v-notches Total leakage recorded in pump sump.

 For monitoring works, each shift shall have 2 groups of 2 persons each, who will divide the area geographically between each other. There shall always be minimum 2 persons in the tunnel. If one persons leave the tunnel, this shall be reported to the other group. All persons in the monitoring team shall be able to read pressure gauges, v notches and record water leakages and receive training for this. Max and Gil is requested to perform this training. For this purpose a minimum of 2 records per week to be made until filling start shall be made by the groups All monitoring points shall be shown on one drawing. The control room in the switchyard shall be command centre for the filling operation

SAFETY MCD as main contractor will have overall responsibility for safety A meeting will be conducted with the contractors at Site to go through the filling operation and to identify the inherent risks The following items are identified as important for the filling operation: Communication Sandbags outside valve chamber Awareness and procedures of evacuation and escape routes Safety gears (Flash lights) Procedure for operation of discharge valves No touch policy being in Power House and valve chamber

12

SUPPORT FROM CONTRACTORS: MCD: Installation and operation of pumps at the intake. There shall be 2 operators at each shift. Operation of discharge valves in Valve chamber. There shall be 2 operators at each shift. Arrange communication: 2 radio with the monitoring teams, one radio at Intake, one at valve chamber, one in Control room, one at shift Manager (Engineer) + backup and battery charging facilitates. Name of those who shall carry radios shall be given to MCD Team of skilled and unskilled workers to do grout drilling, grouting, sleeve setting and other works required ( Handling of sandbags etc). Personnel Safety of the operation At Intake and valve-chamber, there shall always be one operator present even during meal breaks. Names of operators, and works superintendant to be provided. ANDRITZ: Operation/safeguarding data from monitoring equipment for water levels, To other works required on Mechanical/electrical installations. THE ENGINEERS DUTIES: Overall management and decision making during the filling operation Monitoring works inside the tunnels
