5. Underground Services6. Site Clearance
Accessibility to site Temporary road is required to
access construction site
Carry load to site
Water Table
Ground water level ( pump out all the underground water )
Available facilities
If issues is schools/shop or any other facilities we need to be extra careful due to the peoples might go into the construction site.
Public facilities such as hospital, school and others need to be taken under consideration before undergo any activities for construction (if any)
Avoid unnecessary noise or disruption during operational hours
Subsoil
Sand ( excavate until a certain depth to reach the minimum movement of construction)
Clay Gravel Hard rock ( high excavation
cost, good foundation, high bearing capacity)
Underground Services
Water pipelines ( prevent from damage while excavating )
Electricity Cable ( engage with Licensed Cable Detection Workers ( LCDW) to carry out cable detection works )
Security & SafetyFencing For the safety of labourer
Hoarding Provide public safety Avoid unauthorised access To confined any risk during demolition, exaction or any unprecedented
falling objects
Potential hazards for workers in construction include: Falls (from heights) Trench collapse Scaffold collapse Electric shock and arc flash/arc blast Failure to use proper personal protective equipment Repetitive motion injuries. Training provided for safety reason Gloves, head protection
Types of accommodation

wind events .
Wooden huts
Gravel Road
Consists of crushed stone ,sand & fines .
Suitable to be used in construction side .
Need frequent maintenance
Dirt road Slightly narrower than
than gravel road . Muddy & slippery when
