METHOD STATEMENT

1. SCOPE This manual defines the Method of Construction that shall be applicable for the field activities of the civil works which shall be carried out by KVG Insaat ve Insaat Malzemeleri Ticaret Ltd, Sti. 2. DEMOLITION 2.1. General The work covered by this section consists of providing all labour and equipments, and of performing all operations in connection with removal of existing buildings, existing building and structures need to be broken up and removal of all walls, slab, pavements and foundations and disposal of away within 1 km from the site. 2.2. Demolition Equipments Prior to use, all demolition mechanized equipment and machinery shall be inspected and tested by a competent mechanical supervisor and confirmed to be in safe operating condition. Inspection and tests shall be conducted at least once a month to assure safe operation. Test and inspection records shall be kept in the files. Any machinery or equipment found to be unsafe shall not be used until the unsafe conditions have been corrected. All repairs on machinery and equipments shall be executed at a location designated for its purpose. Machinery and equipment shall be operated only by a designated personnel. Machinery and equipment requiring a licensed operator shall not be permitted to be operated without such and operator. Machinery and equipment shall be locked or secured to prevent them being started by unauthorized persons. Stationary machines shall be placed on a firm foundation and secured before being operated. Mobile machinery shall have a braking system. Bulldozer scraper blades and loader buckets shall be lowered when not in use. Machinery shall be used only for purpose for which it was designated. The Contractor shall select the equipment to be used for demolition. The equipment shall produce the required results, and provide adequate safety for the operator. The Contractor shall choose and properly use protective systems necessary for demolition subject structures.

METHOD STATEMENT

2.3. Execution of Demolition Works Prior to all demolition work a written notice shall be prepared between the Engineer and the Contractor specifying all salvageable materials resulting from the demolition work. The contractor shall store this material on site and hand it over to the Using Agency as agreed upon. Careful co-ordination with other work executed at the site must be obtained to perform the demolition work involved. Before starting any demolition work, the contractor shall inspect the structures to be demolished and he shall take all necessary precautions to ensure that those parts to be retained will remain undamaged. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to secure all load-bearing parts by adequate supports, in case the demolition will change the load-bearing behavior, or when higher loads will have to be taken either for temporary purposes or permanent use. When executing the demolition work, the surrounding areas must only be affected to the absolutely necessary minimum. In the event that demolition work might cause damage to surrounding structures, the contractor shall, in conjunction with the Engineer, determine their present condition and the contractor shall, if required, take appropriate measures before demolition work commences.

All debris, rubbish and other materials resulting from demolition operations shall be removed from the site to an assigned dumping area by the Engineer within 1 km. The demolition operation consists of dismantling the existing structure located opposite the buildings. This structure consists of rocks, armoured concrete structures and networks. Prior to dismantling, the Contractor must make sure that the existing networks in the structure are put out of service. All the refuse produced by the dismantling of the networks must be disposed of at a dumping ground. The civil engineering parts (stone floor, crown RC, bridge, etc.) must be broken up using appropriate means (hydraulic rock breaker, etc.) so as to enable loading and disposal at a dumping ground. Any reuse of equipment and material must be submitted to the Engineer’s Representative’s approval.

The curing shall continue until the concrete gains its early strength. This shall be accomplished by means of water sprays, flooding or covering with wet mats. Waterproof members may be used for protection and retention of the curing moisture. The usage of commercial curing compound shall be subject to Engineer’s Representative's approval.

The curing of the concrete surfaces to which protective coating shall be applied shall be done in strict accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations. Water curing shall not be applied for cold weather concreting, since during subfreezing temperatures it may produce icing problems and increase the likelihood of concrete freezing when protection is removed. The duration of curing can be reduced by means of high pressure or atmospheric pressure steam as may deemed convenient by the Engineer’s Representative.

6.6. Coating

As per Standart, in order to prevent corrosion of the surfaces of foundations that are permanently exposed to earth, these surfaces shall be coated with bitumen emulsion mastic. This bitumen emulsion mastic shall be applied to the concrete surfaces of the foundations after the concrete is fully cures and has gained its early strength. Before the application, the condition of the surface shall be checked in terms of dryness and cleanness. Then the bitumen emulsion mastic shall be applied with a brush or roller in 2 coats of 1.5 to 2 mm

METHOD STATEMENT

thickness each. The bitumen emulsion mastic application shall extend at least 25 cm above the paving level.

6.7. Hot Weather Concreting

For the purpose of this specification hot weather shall be defined as any combination of high ambient temperature (i.e. greater than 28C), low relative humidity and wind velocity that tends to impair the quality of fresh or hardened concrete. In hot weather concreting, precautionary measures shall be taken when the rate of evaporation is expected to approach 1 kg/m2/hour. The rate of loss of surface moisture for various weather conditions shall be determined as per the table given in Appendix 1. The following measures can be taken in hot weather concreting:

• Usage of cold water and keeping the aggregates cold by insulating pipes and tanks. • Placement of ice cubes in mixing water. Mixing shall be continued until ice is

completely melted. • Avoiding the use of newly manufactured cement. Temperature of cement shall be

less than 600 C. • Blast furnace slag and fly ash may be used as partial replacement for Portland

cement since they may impart a slower rate of setting. Therefore both of them are helpful for hot weather conditions.

• Sprinkle coarse aggregates stockpiles. • Chemical admixtures such as retarding or water reducing admixtures at appropriate

dosage that provide lower mixing water demand and extended periods of use.

Other precautionary measures shall be as follows:

• Night or early morning concreting. • Shielding surface against which the concrete is to be placed from direct sunshine. • Install windbreaks and shades to protect against drying winds. • Drum rotation at the lowest agitating speed as soon as the concrete is mixed to a

homogeneous consistency. • Minimization of the period between mixing and placement of the concrete

Coordination of the dispatching of trucks with the rate of placement so that the delays in arrival or waiting periods until pouring are avoided.

• Spraying the forms and reinforcements with potable water prior to placing of the concrete.

METHOD STATEMENT

• Painting the external surfaces of the footwork (including bracing and vertical members).

6.8. Curing and protection:

During initial setting, fresh concrete shall be protected from the rapid evaporation by covering the new surface with impervious sheeting or applying a speakable moisture retaining film between the finishing passes. If plastic-shrinkage cracks occur before final set, it shall be closed by firmly striking the surface on each side of the crack with a float or brush. The affected area shall be then re-trowelled to level finish and immediately covered to avoid evaporation. After the completion of placing and finishing operations, efforts shall continue to prevent the moisture loss due to the high temperature and drying winds. Moisture loss shall be limited up to 0.4 kg/m2/72 hours as per ASTM C156 or equivalent. Concrete shall also be protected against thermal shrinkage cracking from rapid temperature drops (more than 30C/hour). Moist curing of the flatwork is recommended method. Covering pre-wetted concrete with an impervious sheeting or application of absorptive mats or a fabric that shall be kept continuously wet shall provide this. Heat reflecting white pigmented compound may also be applied immediately after disappearance of surface water sheen after final finishing pass, providing additional concrete or any other material shall not have to be bonded against treated surface. When liquid membranes are applied, it shall be sprayed in two coats, the second one proceeding at right angles to the first application. Spray nozzle is to be positioned sufficiently close to the surface to assure ample coverage and prevent wind blown dispersion.

Forms should be covered and kept continuously moist during early curing period. Forms shall be loosened as soon as it can be done without damage to the concrete, to allow curing water to come in contact with concrete surfaces. After removal, newly exposed surfaces shall promptly receive a uniformly wet cover. Any repairs and making good of honeycombs shall be undertaken few days after stripping so they can be cured with surrounding concrete. At the end of curing period, covering shall be left in place without wetting for several

METHOD STATEMENT

days so the concrete surface to be dried slowly to minimize shrinkage cracking.

6.9. Finishing of Non-Formed Surfaces

Unless otherwise indicated on the construction drawings, the following finishing methods shall be used as applicable. 6.9.1 Roofing

Roofing shall be given a wood or power toweled float finish in order to depress the coarse aggregates. When the concrete starts to be gain strength and hardens, a broom shall be used to produce a uniform texture. Floating shall begin when water sheen has disappeared and when the surface has stiffened sufficiently to permit the operation. During or after the first floating, the level of the surface shall be checked. All high spots shall be cut down and all low spots shall be filled during this procedure so that a surface within Class ''B'' tolerance is produced. The slab shall then be re-floated immediately to a uniform sandy texture.

6.9.2 Floor of Slab

The surface of floor shall first be float-finished as specified in preceding section. It shall then be power toweled, and finally hand toweled. The first toweling after power floating shall produce a smooth surface that is free of defects but which may still show some trowel Darks. Additional toweling shall be done by hand after the surface has hardened sufficiently. The surface shall be thoroughly consolidated by the hand toweling operations. The finished surface shall be essentially free of deep trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance and shall be plain to a Class "A" tolerance. Any defects of sufficient magnitude to show up on the floor covering shall be removed by grinding on surfaces that are intended to support floor coverings. When non-abrasive or hardening/dust proofing compounds or other protective coating are specified, they shall be applied in strict accordance with Manufacturer's instructions.

METHOD STATEMENT

6.9.3 Foundations

All concrete foundations shall be poured to the final elevation or the construction joint as specified by the drawing and shall be leveled with the use of a trowel.

METHOD STATEMENT

• Results of the tests, crushing load, crushing strength, • Weight of the cube and its density.

This information shall be submitted to the Engineer’s Representative with Daily Concrete Reports.

6.10.3.4 Purpose of the 7 Days Cube Tests

The results obtained from the tests carried out on molded cubes at 28 days shall be the means of ensuring the compressive strength of the concrete placed at field to the requirements of this specification. Tests shall be carried out at 7 days to establish a relationship between the 7 days and 28 day's strengths of the concrete. Hence, this relationship shall be utilized to interpret the further test results in order to predict the probable value of the corresponding 28 days strengths. The compressive strength values hence measured shall be recorded and submitted to the Engineer’s Representative. The Engineer’s Representative shall witness the tests as required.

6.10.4 Concrete Acceptance

6.10.4.1 Strength Results

The concrete shall be deemed to comply with the compressive strength requirements of this specification if:

(1) The average strength determined from a group of three consecutive samples equals or exceeds the below strength values at 28 days.

Table 2. Concrete Grades

Related Work Class ( ) Fcu (kg/cm2) @ 28 days Structural Concrete C25 327

Structural Concrete C20 262

Blinding Mass Concrete C13 196

METHOD STATEMENT

(2) Each individual test result does not fall below the specified strength by more than 3.5 MPa.

If only one cube result fails to meet the second requirement, then that result may be considered to represent only the particular batch of concrete from which that cube was taken, provided that the average strength of the group satisfied the first requirement. If more than one cube in a group fails to meet the second requirement or when the average compressive strength of three consecutive samples fails to meet the first requirement the following actions will be taken:

(a) All concrete production shall be stopped while further tests and trial mixes are carried out.

(b) The mix proportions of subsequent batches are modified in a manner approved by

the Engineer’s Representative to increase the compressive strength.

If, in the opinion of the Engineer’s Representative, the concrete that has failed to meet the strength requirement of this specification is not likely to be capable of fulfilling its purpose in the structure, three cores shall be taken from the area represented by the test cubes. The Engineer’s Representative shall determine the sampling location. Where the average compressive strength found by testing the three cores taken from the structure, and adjusted to the equivalent cube strength at 28 days as per above Table 2 is confirmed as being below the strength requirement, then the Engineer’s Representative may instruct that further cores be taken in order to determine the full extent of the defective concrete and further investigations shall be carried out. Defective concrete shall be cut out and replaced or alternative remedial action shall be taken, as the Engineer’s Representative directs. Drilling, preparation and testing of cores shall be carried out in accordance with the Codes and Standards.

QA / QC SYSTEM DETAILS

QUALITY POLICY STATEMENT

Our company gives a primordial importance to quality control. In order to enforce quality control effectively, our company separated the Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) groups on the construction sites from the routine site activities. The construction site management team enact, in any case, their own quality assurance in a routine manner for the construction activities they perform . However, the QA/QC group acts independently and double - checks the quality of the work performed by the site crew. The QA/QC group acts independently from the site management and reports directly to the Project Manager (PM). Even if the quality of a certain work (e.g concrete casting or welding, etc: ... ) is found to be acceptable by the Contractor 's Site Management and even by the Client, the QA/QC group may request new or renewed quality essays (e.g core sample testing on concrete or non-destructive testing such as radiography, ultrasonography on welds or even destructive testing, etc), if they are not satisfied. The QA/QC group also interferes with the acceptance of construction materials arriving to site and checks the suitability of incoming materials with regards to applicable specifications or standards. Quality assurance work is not only carried out on construction sites but also in the workshops, during manufacturing. QA/QC engineers directly responsible to PM frequently visit manufacturers workshops and enact their full power of authority on the manufacture to alter any work found to be defective. In exercising quality control both in the workshops and on site, the QA/QC engineers follow the stipulations of internationally recognised standards such as ISO, AS'I'M, NFPA, BS and also the standards of the countries where work is being performed. For each speciality, such as civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, separate QA/QC specialists are present at the sites, at relevant periods of construction. The quality of work is assessed, accepted or rejected by the QA/QC group not only on the basis of material quality. but also with regards to workmanship. Therefore, if a particular work is found to be defective due to workmanship, the workers responsible for that work are immediately warned, replaced and /or transferred .

9. Reporting Discrepancies

Three ways are available for the Quality Assurance Manager to inform the Project Manager of a problem. They are:

Memo Discrepancy Method Non Conformance Method

A memo is used when procedures were not followed, but no benefit can be gained by going back and completing the overlooked procedure. Such a memo serves to inform those involved the procedures were not followed in an effort to avoid similar occurrences in the future.

A Discrepancy Report will be issued when corrective action is needed to complete a quality control step that has been omitted or done inadequately. This report consists of three parts: notification of the discrepancy, corrective action and closeout.

When a violation is severe and the quality of work is in serious question, a Nonconformance Report will be used.

a) Discrepancy Reporting

The Quality Assurance Manager describes the discrepancy and sends the report to the Project Manager for a recommendation of corrective action. Copies are also sent to the responsible Group Head, the Responsible Manager, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Additional distribution is made at the discretion of the Quality Assurance Manager.

b) Corrective Action

Upon notification of a discrepancy, the Project Manager develops a plan of corrective action and returns a copy the report describing the recommended action to the Manger of QA. The Quality Assurance Manager makes distribution of report again, including the recommended corrective action to the same people who received the initial notification.

c) Closeout

When corrective action is completed, the Project Manager signs the Discrepancy Report and returns it to the Quality Assurance Manager. The Quality Assurance Manager must then assure himself that the corrective action was indeed taken and was effective. He then reissues the report showing that it has been closed out.

d) Discrepancy Summary

The Quality Assurance Manager issues a summary of all discrepancies on each project monthly. This summary shows a brief description of each discrepancy and shows what corrective action is planned and whether or not it has been taken.

10. QA/QC Schedule

The QA/QC schedule is dictated by the Project Schedule. Using the Project Schedule and the flowcharts, which show the QA/QC activities, project staff will be aware of the QA/QC schedule. In general, the Quality Control functions are holding on the work. Quality Assurance functions should be timely, but will not be hold points.

KVG GROUP


1. General

It is the KVG GROUP’s stated policy to deliver a quality product, satisfying in all respects the requirements of KVG GROUP and the client. This policy applies to both KVG GROUP’s work, and work performed by its subcontractors and is carried out through the application of sound engineering, procurement, and construction methods. KVG GROUP’s Quality Assurance / Quality Control program provides a continuing review function to verify that the work is performed in accordance with approved procedures and specifications. The key components of the Construction Quality Assurance Program are:

Field Procedures Field Monitoring and Program Administration Quality Audits Follow–up Quality Assurance / Quality Control Field Procedures (QA/QC FP)

KVG GROUP’s QA/QC FP provides a framework for our Quality Assurance / Quality Control Program. It states Company Policy to be adhered to in our areas of operation and provides guidance to, our project personnel so that their responsibilities and standards for quality are clear and well defined. It also provides a mechanism to verify that the quality conformance is inspected and documented, as required, to the manual standards.

The QA/QC FP outlines the areas of administration and project control to provide a comprehensive, total-quality project. The QA/QC FP inspection forms included in the manual serve as a guide for the inspection and documentation requirements for each area of work. These procedures are further developed into detailed, working documents that are project specific, based on the particular project specifications, contract requirements, local jurisdictional authority requirements, and specific vendor recommendations. The procedures and work methods in place cover the work nominally encountered in the construction of a CB industrial plant.

KVG GROUP’s QA/QC FP, assigned to each Construction Manager, offers specific guidelines for accomplishing QA/QC activities. KVG GROUP's QA/QC FP is proprietary, and is intended for the sole use of KVG GROUP.

2. Field Monitoring and Program Administration

The following summarizes the type of administrative and control functions considered for each major work item associated with a standard industrial plant. Within each area is a general discussion indicating the typical detail considered in developing the project specific QA/QC FP.

a) Earthwork and Sitework

Quality Control methods for earthwork generally follow the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report as conveyed in the drawings and specifications. Lines and grades are verified by the survey team and inspection of the materials are carried out by the KVG GROUP field staff in conjunction with the Geotechnical Consultant. When applicable, material testing of densities and other pertinent soil data are coordinated through local testing firms. Excavation and backfill placement techniques are monitored by the KVG GROUP field staff and documented to ensure conformance to the specifications and safety standards.

b) Buildings and structures

All buildings are designed, fabricated, and built in accordance with the latest edition of the applicable specifications, codes and standards. Building materials, equipment, systems and appurtenances are inspected upon receipt by the KVG GROUP field staff for conformance to specifications. Erection and installation of the material, equipment, systems and appurtenances are performed in accordance with approved drawings and manufacturer's recommendations.

KVG GROUP


Equipment and system tests are made and/or witnessed by the field staff on all installed equipment and systems to verify that the building components meet the performance criteria. Tests which may be included are HVAC, electrical, plumbing, communications and fire protection and/or any other applicable system. Test results are witnessed, signed off, and recorded.

c) Structural Steel

Structural steel materials are certified as meeting the required sizes and the grades prior to fabrication. Steel fabrication plants are inspected and approved by KVG GROUP. Approved steel fabrication plants have Quality Control Program for the fabrication and welding of structural steel in place. This Quality Control Program addresses the welding procedures, production techniques, consumable control and fabrication control required to produce steel structures to the project specifications. Fabricated steel is erected in accordance with the approved erection drawings, and the field staff verifies that the correct erection sequence, bolt up, plumbing and leveling of the steel to the final steel structure is performed.

d) Concrete

The supply and placement of reinforced concrete are done in accordance with the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and the project specifications. Local batch plants are inspected for their ability to produce quality concrete in conformance with the project specifications.

3.5. Contingency Planning & Emergency Response Procedures In execution of a work, there are lots of parameters which are independent of each other. Therefore, the first level of the preventive and protective measures taken sometimes fails and the workforce is subject to hazards directly. Depending on the impact of consequence of an accident, it is necessary to take second level of preventive or protective measure. This is defined as contingency planning. Emergency procedures are parts of contingency planning after accidents happen. There is always potential for an accident whatever you do, due to lack of integrity in HSE management system or other reasons which is out of control. In order to minimize to impact of the accident and to prevent time losses for remedial action, the following cases are classified as emergency in this project and emergency procedures are prepared: • sickness like heart attacks, loss of conscious • injury with severe bleeding, broken bone, risk of loss of a body organ, loss of conscious

etc. • fire • vehicle accident • earthquakes, water drowning, land slide or soil collapse The procedures defines who is doing what, in which sequence and includes the response capabilities available, communication ways, escape / evacuation roots and plans, rescue and intervention responsibilities and methods. The external connections and the communication procedures for emergency situations are also provided. 3.6. Drills & Exercises The procedures and systems developed will be tested with drills and exercises for confirmation of understanding by the staff to check the performance and to detect any inconvenience and review for improvement. These drills will alert all the persons involved likely to be affected by emergency conditions and to alert the people and equipment comprising the response capability. The frequency of these drills are once in two months. The type of drills are: • fire / explosion evacuation • fire intervention • road traffic accident • Beside the drills, the understanding and capability of staff, performance of equipment will

be checked with exercises as a part of system testing. The exercises are considered for use of alarm equipment, use of communication means, use of evacuation equipment, use of intervention equipment.
