1)Background This method statement describes the work procedures for the construction of New road link between Upper Changi road and Upper Changi road East. The type of road construction is TYPE 1, Flexible pavement as per LTA/RD/SD99/PAV/2A. 2)Scope of work The project ER420 is for the construction of New road link between Upper Changi road and Upper Changi road East. The link road has a total of 4 lanes (2 northbound and 2 southbound), 3.7m each. The total length of the link road is roughly 180 metres. Two new bus stops are also to be constructed on either side of the link road. 3)Persons responsible for work Name Jimmy Goo Hariram Mani Fong Muni Designation Project Manager Site Engineer Pavement Supervisor Site Supervisor Safety supervisor Contact No. 96957413 94477749 84332276 84025141 82590048

6)Material Specifications: The construction of road

shall

be

in

accordance

to

the

details

in

LTA/RD/SD99/PAV/2A, Type 1 pavement for the main road. The elements of the road consist of 1. Standard road kerb (Type K2) 2. Sub grade 3. Sub-base 4. Base Course (B1 asphalt mix) 5. Wearing course (W3B asphalt mix) 7)Construction Procedures: 7.1) Detection of Underground Services a) Prior to commencement of the works, Contractor shall identify any services that are likely to be in the way of the proposed road to be constructed. b) Trial trenches shall be excavated to determine the exact location of these services. c) Once determined that no services are obstructing the construction, work shall proceed. 7.2) Risk And Hazard Analysis The risk and hazard analysis for construction of road is to be conducted. 7.3) Precaution On Utilities And Services a) Prior to construction of roads, supervisor is to check for services on surrounding of the kerb. E.g. LV cable for streetlights, water pipes, manhole cover and/or valve cover for culverts and others services. b) Precaution for services under or surrounding the road, esp. LV cable, should be taken during the process of breaking up existing road furniture. c) Determine the road furniture that will be affected during widening of the roads, eg. Lamp posts, OG boxes, traffic counter etc.

7.4) Setting out a) Site Land Surveyor shall set out all the alignment and levels for the road edge as per the Drawings.

7.5) Site Work- Proposed Road by Type 1 Flexible Pavement Structure a) Detection of Underground services will be carried out by Licensed Cable Detection Worker (LCDW). Trial trench will be carried out before excavation to determine the exact location of the services and liaise with relevant authority for diversion if affected by the road raising works. b) Excavation / filling will proceed once confirm there is no underground obstruction or affected services are removed. Earthworks shall be completed up to the subgrade level of the final road level/ c) Sub-grade compaction will be carried out from MC01 Ch:30 to Ch:175 with 10-ton roller to achieve the required standard. d) Once the sub-grade is compacted it will be covered with the thin layer of Mill Waste to protect it from bad weather conditions. e) Surface drainage will also be provided to prevent any stagnant water on the Sub-grade area. f) After subgrade construction the sub-base material (mill waste) 300mm thick will be laid and compacted to the required standard using excavator and 10 tons roller. g) The sequence of laying the sub-base will be to start at the bus bay area (MC01 Ch: 60 to Ch:100) and then on the remaining areas. h) Once the sub-base is ready, Construction of permanent kerb will be started. The sequence of kerb construction will follow the same sequence as Sub-base construction. i) After completion of kerb construction laying and compaction of graded granite aggregate base course (RCA) 250mm thick shall be carried out in two layers. The first layer (150mm to 175mm) will be laid with the help of exacavator. The second layer (75mm to 100mm) will be laid by Mechanical paver. j) After completion of Base course, using the same mechanical paver, asphaltic base course 120mm thick shall be laid in two operations. Each operation of 60mm thick shall be rolled smooth and compacted before proceeding with the next layer.

k) Once the asphalitic base course works are completed, remaining road related works like application of temporary traffic road marking, Installation of temporary signage and warning signs will be completed l) Once all the said works are completed,Inspection by Traffic Management review team prior to the opening of road diversion will be carried out. m) Arrangement of meeting with relevant Authorities before road opening and informed the Public on the intention. The summary of the site works are as following: a) Cut the existing ground to the propose subgrade levels. b) Carry out sub-grade compaction with 10-ton roller to achieve the required standard. c) Laying and compaction of sub-base material (mill waste)to the required standard by means of an excavator. d) Construction of permanent kerb / divider. e) Using a mechanical paver, laying and compaction of graded granite aggregate and layer shall be rolled smooth and compacted. f) Using the same mechanical paver, asphaltic base course shall be laid in one operation. g) After the asphaltic base course has been rolled smooth and compacted. The final wearing course shall then be laid.

8. Quality control
8.1) Material i) Asphalt concrete a. Extraction Test and Field Density Tests must comply with the requirements set out in LTA Materials and Worksmanship Specifications. ii) Sub-base Materials a. Batch samples shall be taken and tested to meet the requirements set out in LTA Materials and Worksmanship Specifications Clause 10.3.2.2

9. Precautions of Safety
a) Safety precautions are implemented and adhered to strictly for work areas which are in close proximity to the man on the street. b) The supervisor is wholly in-charge of safety, supervision and traffic control and in work areas. c) Work should be cordon up with safety netting or plastic barricade to prevent pedestrian entering the work area.
