1 GENERAL
This section presents a narrative outline of the proposed construction methodologies for
the major work activities. It should be understood that the method statements stated
herewith, present only preliminary details intended for the successful execution and
completion of the contract. Changes, revisions or modifications of methodologies
presented herewith may be necessary later dependent on the requirements of the detailed
design after award and also after assessing the ground conditions following the results of
further geotechnical investigations.
Please also refer to other sections of the tender submission for more details of the
proposed organization, manpower, equipment and work schedule.
Reporting to the Project Director is the Site Project Manager who will lead the construction
management activities of the site. In conjunction with the concerned discipline managers,
the Site Project Manager will develop and direct the construction teams to ensure
satisfactory performance including the following general functions:
Ensuring that all materials fully comply with the specifications’ requirements and that
proper procedures are established to cover all aspects related to material receiving,
storage, and issuing, site purchasing, material tracking and maintenance of tools and

This section deals with the requirements for the delivery and installation of
the sump pumps. The approved shop drawings and approved
manufacturer’s technical literature must be read prior to installation.
Receipt of Equipment
Upon receipt of the equipment, a visual inspection must be done and any
damage found shall be noted on the delivery form. Particulars of any
damage or short delivery must be endorsed by the driver delivering the
