a. Strike UG Services:
Use locator and hand excavation (trial holes)
b. Excavation Collapse:
Batter sides to safe slope or provide shoring (if
required)
Keep spoil at least 2.0 meter away from edge
c. Fall into Excavation
Provide fencing, guardrails or flagging tape around
edges. Provide safely fixed ladders
(every 50 meters). Provide banks man when operating
equipment near excavation.

5. Prior Activities:
5.1 A “Dewatering Plan” will be submitted showing
typical well points system, sumps, pumps, discharge
lines, silt traps and monitoring equipment.
5.2 Earth berms of cut-off ditches will be provided to
prevent surface water from entering the excavation
where needed.
5.3 Proper discharge away from work area will be
provided and Permits will be obtained where needed.
5.5 A checking for existing utilities will be conducted
before drilling or excavating.

6. Procedure:
A)- Selection of dewatering method depends on
the following :-

6.1 Depending on certain factors, one or more of the

below detailed dewatering methods can be adopted.

The factors affecting the decision include among

others:
1. The soil characteristics
2. The soil hydrology
3. The size and depth of the excavation
4. The proposed method of excavation and ground
support
5. The proximity of existing structure

B)- Dewatering Method:-

6.2 Pre-drainage (Well Points System)

. Well points will be drilled by augers or high

pressure water jet and fitted with riser pipes at
sufficient intervals to maintain the surrounding water
table below the level of excavation.

.After well points are driven into the ground they are
surrounded with a filter layer (5mm sand) to facilitate
suction.

.Flexible elbows are used to connect the riser pipes

to Header pipes, which in turn are connected to
suction Pumps.

.The water is then pumped through flexible hoses or

discharge lines to the discharge points.

.Once the water table has sufficiently dropped, the

excavation may proceed in dry soil.

6.3 Open Pump (Sumps)

.Excavation continues below the water table and a

collection trench and/or pit is dug to one side of the
excavation.

.Submersible pumps are then utilized to draw off the

water and pump it to a discharge area.

6.4 Horizontal Drains

.Used in conjunction with one of the above

mentioned methods.

.Prepare drainage ditches filled with gravel or

perforated pipes.

.The ditches can be near the trench walls or crossing

below the blinding.

7. Responsibilities:
7.1 It is the Site Manager’s duty to ensure that all
necessary safety and protective equipment are
provided along with properly trained and qualified
personnel.

7.2 It is the Site Supervisor’s duty to organize the

work in safe manner and to ensure that safety and

protective equipment are being properly utilized. He
must also assure the method statement procedure is
followed and must observe any hold-points and notify
the Consultant for inspection.
7.3 It is the worker’s duty to properly wear the
protective equipment provided and obey all safety
rules. They must also perform the work as described
in the method statement procedure.
7.4 The Site Engineer will ensure that the site
preparation activities are conducted according to the
approved method statement.
7.5 The Material Engineer will ensure that the
materials being used are in accordance to the project
specifications and the approved method statement.
