observed. If
necessary obtain a work permit as required by the site.
- Locate the site and clear any undergrowth.
- Check for buried services with a pipe/cable locator.
- Excavate to expose the pipe.
- Remove the coating over an area suitable for the type of connection to be
used
carefully with a hot knife, scraper or grinding burr. Do not use a chisel or other
instrument that could damage the pipe. The area should be cleaned to a bright
finish.

to the pipeline operator. Generally, this will be by pinbrazing. See separate

method
statement which details the appropriate pinbrazing procedure.
- Test the connection by pulling the cable using body weight in the direction
that the
cable lies.
- Coat the pipe and cable to waterproof the joint. The repair should be to
the same
standard as the original coating.
- Backfill the excavation and re-instate the ground.
- Excess spoil to be removed from site.
M28 type concrete test post
- Ensure that all relevant site conditions and working practices are
observed. If
necessary obtain a work permit as required by the site.
- Locate the site and clear any undergrowth.
- Check for buried services with a pipe/cable locator.
- Excavate so that the post will be buried to 50% of its length.
- Insert cables through the post and terminate at brass bolts. Ensure that
the cables are
protected where they enter at the base of the post.
Insert the post in the hole and brace it so that it will not move.
Fill the hole with concrete and leave braced until the concrete sets.
Excess spoil to be removed from site.
M4 type concrete marker post.
Follow procedure as in 5.1.2, except there will be no cables .
DC Cables
Cable connections to the pipe should be made as in 5.1.1.
Buried cables should lie at a depth that will protect them from disturbance
by
ploughing or other excavations. Cable tiles or cable warning tape should be used
to
warn of the presence of the cable during any subsequent excavation.
- Cables should be colour coded or marked to identify them.
Sacrificial Anode
- Installation of sacrificial anodes should be in accordance with BS7361.

Check for buried services with a pipe/cable locator.

Excavate to the required depth, and excavate trench for cable as required.
Ensure that any plastic covering is removed from the anode. The muslin
bag should
be left intact.
- Place the anode in the required position and water thoroughly. (A bucket
of water is
ideal)
- Terminate cables as required.
- Backfill the excavation and re-instate the ground.

Transformer-Rectifier Procedures
Groundbed
Ensure that all relevant site conditions and working practices are
observed. If
necessary obtain a work permit as required by the site.
Locate the site and clear any undergrowth.
Check for buried services with a pipe/cable locator.
Excavate to the required depth, and excavate trench for cable as required.
Arrange the anodes and main cable ready for installation.
Connect the anodes and the main cable according to the specification.
Actual
connections are usually made by line tap (split bolt) and sealed with an
appropriate
splice kit filled with resin. Ensure sufficient time is allowed for the resin to
set.
Allow sufficient cable to enable either termination in a junction box near to
the
trench or at the transformer. This will be specified according to the design
of the
system.
Test the continuity of the cables.
Use half the carbonaceous backfill and line the bottom of the trench.
Place the anodes and main cable on the carbonaceous backfill.
Use the remainder of the carbonaceous backfill to cover the anodes.
Backfill the trench and re-instate the ground.
Excess spoil to be removed from site.
Terminate the cables appropriately.

Cable connections to the pipe should be made as in 5.1.1.

Positive or groundbed cables should be treated with great care to prevent
any
damage to the insulation.
Buried cables should lie at a depth that will protect them from disturbance
by
ploughing or other excavations. Cable tiles or cable warning tape should
be used to
warn of the presence of the cable during any subsequent excavation.
The specification may call for above ground installation of cables. In this
case, the
cable should be installed as required in the specification.
AC Cables
Generally AC mains voltage cables will be provided by the electricity
supplier and
terminated by them or by a qualified electrician. If it is necessary to install
mains
voltage cables then the requirements of BS7671 should be observed and
advice
sought from a qualified person.
Transformer Rectifier
Ensure that all relevant site conditions and working practices are
observed. If
necessary obtain a work permit as required by the site.
Locate the transformer rectifier at the planned point of installation. This
may be on a
prepared concrete plinth, on a wall, or on a pole.
Fix the unit in place using appropriate fixings.
Arrange to have the AC supply connected.

Method Statement

Test the unit according to the specification.

Terminate DC cables to the appropriate connections. Take particular care
to observe
the polarity of the pipe and groundbed cables.
Energise the system and carry out any testing procedures.

interrupters (GFCI).
All vehicles will have backing warning device. Banks man will guide vehicles
in narrow work places and when reversing. Vehicles will not pass, will not be
positioned or parked close to excavation edges.

7.3.

Lifting operations

Execution of the lifting operations will comply with the provisions of the
Project HSE Manual.
Cranes will be set on even flat ground. Pads will be used under the outriggers
feet where necessary.
When work is close to excavation the lifting equipment will be positioned that
should change between 1m and 4m from the excavation edge in order to
prevent earth collapse in accordance to ground type. Working limits of the
lifting equipment stipulated by the manufacturer will not be exceeded. All
lifting equipment will be stored in closed area away from wet and direct

Lifting of the stacks of cable trays will be carried out only with fabric slings
with the proper safe working load limit. Fabric slings shall be protected for
sharp edges on the trays. The slings will be inspected and color-coded. Lifting
operation shall be segregated from other persons on site. All personnel and
third parties will be kept out of any area where they might be struck or
crushed by a load or lifting equipment if it swings, shifts or falls.
Operators of lifting equipment will be able to see the full path of the load or
have a signaler with an appropriate means of communication to guide them.
Operator will obey an emergency stop signal at all times, no matter who
gives it. The operator will not leave the operating controls while the load is
suspended.
Taglines will be used all time, it refers to load to be guided and controlled.
Lifting equipment will not be used in the open air where weather conditions
could affect the integrity of the equipment or expose persons to danger.

7.4.

Access and housekeeping

Safe access to the workplace will be provided at all times. Guardrails will be
provided at the edges and openings where risk of fall from 1.5 m presents.
Where scaffolding is in use it will meet the requirements. The scaffoldings
will be erected on a firm base; will be fixed to existing steel structure; the
platforms will be fully covered and guard rails will be installed. Walkways will
be kept clear of trash, debris and other materials to prevent slipping and
tripping. The polyethylene foil will be collected and disposed in accordance
with the Waste management plan.

7.5.

Manual handling

Where manual handling cannot be avoided tasks will be designed to

minimize the weight, range of motion, and frequency of the activity.
During manual handling all workers have to wear safety gloves and
make sure they are protective against trip hazards and sharp
edges. The distance between the person and the object being
handled will be as small as possible. Employees will use good
manual handling techniques for lifting, pulling or pushing. Material
handling equipment will be easy to move, with handles that can be
easily grasped in an upright posture. Heavy objects will be stored at
waist level. Manual handling training will be delivered.
