1.0 Method Statement

1.1 Scope of the works

The works are to be executed safely and diligently in accordance with all current legislation. The scope of the work involves the asbestos removal, environmental clean, soft strip of all

deleterious materials, structural demolition & processing of all materials

Workshop & Stores Building

1.2 The Surrounding Area The area surrounding the Workshop & Stores is made up of structures within the Didcot A

site, to include the Turbine Hall & Didcot B to the west & National Grid sub-station to the North.

2.0 Method and Sequence The method & sequence will be as follows: 1. Exclusion Zone

2. Asbestos Removal 3. Environmental Control 4. Soft Strip 5. Demolition of Structure

a. Canopies b. Crane c. Columns

6. Processing & Removal



Exclusion Zone The site will be kept clean and tidy to eliminate slips, trips and falls. Heras fence panels,

feet, clips and warning signs will be clearly displayed. Transit routes for plant and pedestrians will be set up for the separate activities happening

within the demolition boundary, these may change as work progresses. There will be a need & requirement to isolate working areas or prohibit access; this will be

through the use of Heras fencing or barriers, erected, and appropriate warning signs erected.

Appropriate signs will delineate the barriers and traffic and pedestrian routes. When operations are being undertaken the whole area will be enforced as an exclusion

zone for non-demolition personnel Sentries/banksmen will be in attendance during operations to ensure that no unauthorised

access into the working area during the works Any pre-existing voids or openings that have no protection will have fencing or barriers

erected Heras fencing will be erected across any opening within the perimeter walls (doorways) to

prevent unauthorised access during the works Prior to starting any works the site supervisor will walk the site with Mechanical & Electrical

RWE team and inspect the structures to understand that the building has been disconnected of all known services

Entrance to Workshop & Stores secured with Heras Fencing

Access to Workshop & Stores



Heras fencing will be erected to prohibit access to the working area during the demolition

works. All Heras fencing will be erected in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Firstly an operative will place the feet along the proposed fencing line at the approximate

distance required to accept the fencing panels. Two operatives will pick up the fence panel and begin the placing of the fence into the

positioned feet. Each fence panel will be fixed to the next, progressively throughout the erection, with two

number clips using handheld tools.

Finally back stays will be connected to every foot and adjoining fence panel to ensure support.

The site will be kept clean and tidy to eliminate slips, trips and falls. The following materials will be used; Heras fence panels, feet, clips and warning signs clearly displayed on the fence.

Transit routes for plant and pedestrians will be set up for the separate activities happening

within the demolition boundary. These may change as work progresses, therefore will be labelled.

Doorway to Workshop

Yellow route Vehicle Access

Asbestos Removal A series of Demolition & Refurbishment Surveys have been completed to identify all

Asbestos Containing Materials. A fully licensed sub contractor will undertake the asbestos removal works

Using the ESG Asbestos surveys (ASO3509 -015) all notifiable asbestos materials will be

marked up with a RED cross / A and all non notifiable asbestos will be marked up with Orange cross / A.

Where it is not possible to see or reach the asbestos materials for spraying the wall or floor

adjacent to the material will be sprayed with an ‘A’ and arrow pointing to the location. The method, scope & plan of works will be covered under a separate Method Statement A copy of the Asbestos Removal Contractor’s Plan of Work shall be forwarded to RWE

Npower & HSE prior to commencement of the works; these works will be carried out by an approved competent sub contractor.

Prior to the removal of Notifiable Asbestos a Fourteen-Day Notice to the HSE (Form ASB5)

will be in place. A licensed sub contractor will remove Notifiable Asbestos under The CAR 2012.



Asbestos identified prior to soft strip

All Non-Notifiable Asbestos will be removed whole where possible. The material will be kept

damp using a fine water spray. ACM’s will be removed from the building at regular intervals, thus ensuring that hazardous

substances are not accumulating on site causing risk to operatives or trespassers. The material will be disposed of into suitable containers, with the material removed in

accordance with Duty of Care Regulations. All Notifiable non-licensed ACM will be notified to the HSE prior to works commencing (this

may be undertaken on the day, but must be before works commence) using form ASBNNLW1.

All ACM’s (Notifiable licensed asbestos; Notifiable non-licensed; and non-notifiable

asbestos) will be removed by suitably trained personnel equipped with the required P.P.E and R.P.E –Disposal overalls Cat 3 type 5/6 / Half face masks and P3 Filters which will be face fitted by a competent person to the specified model

All Asbestos Air Clearance Certificates shall be forwarded promptly to the office for inclusion

within the Health and Safety File. A temporary storage area will be clearly identified, marked out, segregated and sealed at all

times. Transit routes for the movement of the asbestos must be clearly advised to all personnel

working on site. Environmental Clean Coleman & Company will look to adopt a tiered system of approach to dealing with the

removal of oils or lubricants that remain with pipework or machinery.



The first stage will be to try and remove the oil under controlled conditions with specialist

contractors.

Existing Environmental Spillages

A contractor would contain & remove the oil from plant, machinery or pipework with trained

& competent operatives by approved techniques If wholesale removal was not possible then the next stage would be containment of the oils. This would involve the cutting of pipework or plant and removing it to a “contamination area”

where it can then be dealt with The containment area will be sheeted & bunded off to prevent uncontrolled leaks, and the oil

would be removed from the equipment through gravity and the equipment removed from the area once classed as clean.

The oils will then be removed from the contamination area by trained & competent

operatives using approved techniques. The next stage would deal with un-controlled release of oils onto the Workshop floor. The

containment procedure would be to deal with the immediate incident with granules & absorption mats to contain, limit the spread of oil & to clean the area.

The last stage of containment would be if there was a release of oils into the existing

drainage system, they would ultimately be retained within catch pits 1 (oil loop) Once at the catch pits the oils would be separated from the water and the oils cleared from

the top with the oil mops and suitably disposed off through a licenced contractor. Fluorescent Lights All fluorescent tube strip lights will need to be removed from all of the structures before

works can commence.



An operative will access the light fitting by means of a scaffold tower or a podium, from

which the tubes will be carefully removed by hand, taking care not to break the tubes. All lighting tubes will be placed unbroken as far as reasonably practicable into a centrally

located bin. Once the recycling box is full it will be removed from site and taken to a reclaim yard for

disposal. All necessary certification for the safe disposal of the lights will be issued and copies

retained on site & issued to RWE.

Storage of Fluorescent Lights

Soft Strip All services will be made redundant/isolated before the soft stripping works commence

including the existing lifts. Prior to any works commencing isolation certs will be in place, with all isolations carried out

by RWE Npower. A handover document (DCH 2013-CHRRR-0039) has been produced & issued to C&C

detailing all certification. The isolation certificate will be attached and issued as part of the Task Briefing to the

operatives involved with the works Any isolation certificates should be checked and confirmed prior to demolition commencing



Stores Structure

All services both above and underground to this area have been disconnected by RWE asset development team.

The works comprise of the removal and subsequent disposal off site of all residual soft

furnishing, rubbish, mechanical and electrical fixtures, internal plasterboard walls and stud work, and insulation materials.

All materials will be stripped back to the structure, they will be separated for recycling

purposes, and loaded into bins for removal off site.

Segregation of Materials

Operatives will undertake the soft strip whilst using hand tools and access equipment to gain

access to areas of the building

Temporary timber/fibre board structures will be soft stripped



Soft stripping will involve the use of hand held tools including powered tools (as required to remove trunking/ducting/pipes) (PAT tested) and hand tools. Individuals will wear P3 face fit masks and disposable overalls (Cat 3, Type 5/6) as per the risk assessment or COSHH assessment requires. Type of gloves will be suitable for the task.

The noise and dust levels will be controlled to create minimal noise and dust. Records shall

be maintained of noise and vibration levels for any hand held tools. All electrical equipment shall be 110v maximum.

Should any material be uncovered that is suspected of being or containing asbestos,

all work in the immediate area will cease. C&C Site Supervisor & RWE HSQE will be immediately informed, and the area will be clearly identified and an exclusion zone established until deemed clear by the asbestos contractor.

All Soft Strip arisings will be removed from site daily to prevent the build up of materials and

to eliminate the risk of fire. Plant will be equipped with a grapple attachment for the loading of arisings. All skips will be sheeted prior to the vehicles exiting the site.

Bobcat Skidsteer loading soft strip arisings into waste bins

Coleman & Company’s Site Supervision will be responsible for the safe access and egress

of their vehicles and plant. Priority will be given to Public Vehicular/Pedestrian Traffic and Coleman & Company will

ensure that the Emergency Services can safely reach all areas of the site should an emergency arise.

The debris will be loaded into awaiting roll on/off containers for disposal to a suitably

licensed facility.



Demolition of Structure Adequate protection measures shall be afforded to any existing drainage in the form of

timber plywood sheets or steel road plates. Existing drainage plans are available and these will be used to locate and seal pipes to remain.

All service isolations/disconnections will be in place prior to works commencing on site.

Coleman & Company Site Supervisor will have confirmation of isolations/disconnections and drawings of all relevant services. Any live services remaining will be adequately protected until confirmation of disconnection is received.

Existing service trench adjacent to Workshop

All demolition will be undertaken in a safe and controlled manner in accordance with BS

6187 Code of Practice for Demolition, Health & Safety Guidance Notes. Coleman & Company supervisor will walk the area to ensure there has been no change to

the local environment or works by others that may have effect on the proposed works. All personnel to be inducted, certificates inspected and a toolbox talk carried out to ensure

all persons are aware of their duties, responsibilities and any risk associated with the works. The demolition will be carried out taking full account of the buildings structural make up. The

works will be carried out starting at the top of the structure, working within structural bays, bay by bay. No structures will be left in an unstable state overnight.



Demolition to Structure

External Canopies There are two steel framed canopies/structures that connects the workshop and Turbine

Hall that will need to be removed One is a steel roof canopy and the other is a walkway consisting of a steel section structure,

roof and glazed units that provided the access into the Turbine Hall that will need to be removed.

Both these structures will be removed in very similar ways to one another and will be

undertaken prior to the main demolition

Canopies to be removed

Canopies/Structures



A suitable sized excavator equipped with attachment will be placed on the external road on

timber protection mats The excavator will be positioned over the walkway and begin the demolition by munching

the roof section and glazed units The excavator will work from left to right removing the roof section and glazed units down to

the floor level, after this point the demolition will cease to allow clearing of the debris This demolition will remove weight from the structure that will assist the next stage of the

demolition process A full exclusion zone of the working area below will be established to prevent unauthorised

access to the working area. Rope seals to the glazed units will be separated from the window frames and disposed of as

hazardous waste in a sealed skip by ACMS Ltd. ACMS operatives will wear disposal overalls, Cat 3 Type 5/6, and face fitted Sundstrum face

masks with P3 filters. All ACM’s will be removed, double bagged and placed into a seal skip for removal off site. The demolition will re-commence with the excavator shearing through the steel floor section

adjacent to the Turbine Hall The connection to the Turbine Hall will be completely sheared, and at this point the structure

will be disconnected and will allow the continual shearing of the structure back to the workshop

If at any point there is a requirement for flame cutting of the steel; then trained competent

burners will use oxygen/propane cutting equipment to cut the steel Any access that would be required will be provided by a MEWP or Cherry picker operated

by a trained IPAF operative

Separation from Turbine Hall

Direction of Demolition



Before any hot works are undertaken a permit system will be issued as a control mechanism

to prevent an incident. The permit will be issued on a daily basis by Site Supervisor and all necessary risks and

control measures will be identified. The permit will be authorised and the recipient will sign the permit as acceptance of its

conditions The hot works will be allowed to commence and during the works a trained fire watch will be

in attendance during the activities and will have two fully serviced fire extinguishers Upon completion of the hot works there will be a one hour “cool down” period for the works

in which the fire watch will maintain attendance and ensure that no fires ignite. The hot works permit will be closed after all hot works have ceased and the cooling down

period has expired, by the individual who took the permit out.

The steel canopy will be removed in exactly the same manner, with the excavator shearing

through the steel sections The excavator will continually remove small sections of the structure allowing them to fall to

the floor below All of the steel produced will be removed to a processing area to be further reduced and

removed off site



Workshop & Stores Demolition with the excavator will cut through the connections of the trusses to the

supporting columns one bay at a time. The self weight of the roof will hinge the sections of the roof to the floor in a controlled

manner assisted by the excavator and shearing attachment. No operatives will be allowed in the demolition zone during the mechanical demolition of the

roof and trusses. The sequence of demolition will take into account the stability of the existing structure and

any wind bracing. Demolition will commence from either end working towards the wind bracing, and the wind

braced sections of the structure will be removed at the end of the demolition process. The bracing will provide temporary bracing of the structure during the partial demolition

stages The wind bracing is positioned on either side of the structure and provides resistance to

lateral movement of the structure The structure will be removed in a methodical and systematic sequence allowing for areas of

the structure to be removed, processed and cleared before carrying on with the demolition works

Wind Bracing to Structure

Heras fencing will be erected around the demolition zone and the excavator will always be

set a safe distance away and will not work directly under the roof structure.

Plan Bracing to Portal Frame Steel structure



External low height brickwork walls to the building will be demolished by the excavator and loaded into a dump truck by the excavator or roll-on, roll-off skips with a skidsteer for transport to the processing area

Preparing the Crane The crane will be removed from their elevated position with the use of a excavator and

number of operatives Firstly trained operatives working from a elevated platform will access the crane to

undertake the connection of the rope Trained slinger/signallers will attach wire ropes around one of the beam sections, wrapping it

into a choke hitch located at one side of the crane to make a failsafe connection This operation will be repeated on the opposite side of the crane and the ends of the ropes

will be allowed to fall to the floor below to be connected All wire ropes used in this operation will be pre-determined by an competent person to

ensure that the correct length & capacity of rope is used. Shackles will be attached to the ends of each wire rope to provide the mode of connection to

the excavator. In order to mitigate the vibration of the crane hitting the floor; a bed of hardcore will be

placed on the floor below An excavator will be utilised to civilise the stockpile and placed the material in the desired

location to minimise impact vibration The next stage of the process would be to remove the physical stops of the crane to allow

the cranes to be pulled from the rails and onto the mat of hardcore Operatives using hot cutting techniques will begin the process of cutting the metal stops

from the crane rail using oxygen & propane burning equipment from an elevated working platform

All operatives carrying out burning & cutting operations will be required to wear respirators,

fire retardant overalls, gauntlets & protective visor All burning equipment will be inspected before use to ensure it is all in good order and fit for

use. All burning equipment will be stored in a sealed container, in a ventilated area, with cylinders

stored upright, and secured. The area directly below the cutting operations will be cleared and cordoned off as an

exclusion zone for the works Once the hot works have been completed; operatives will vacate the area and remove all

MEWPS to a safe distance Removal of Crane Once the ropes have been attached, the metal stops removed & crushed hardcore placed to

reduce the impact then the crane can be removed from its rails



The operation to remove the crane will now fall under the direction of the slinger/signaller

and the operation of the excavator driver. The area surround the drop zone will be secured with the use of heras fencing to prevent

unauthorised access during the works The signaller will commence the operation to pull the crane from the rails and onto the

crushed bed of hardcore The slinger will inspect the slings are attached correctly & safely to the excavator; and once

satisfied will direct the excavator The slinger/signaller will instruct the excavator to slowly reverse until the slack within the

ropes has been removed. The excavator will slowly track back providing the crane with enough forward movement to

place it off the end of the crane rails and safely onto the bed of hardcore below. Once the crane is placed upon the hardcore the slinger will remove the shackles from the

excavator only, which will release the excavator from the operation. The excavator will be in a position to provide mechanical support if required to remove the

crane from the hardcore and onto the floor to prevent any risk of injury Once the crane has been successfully removed from the hardcore, and shackles or ropes

can then be removed safely The crane will be removed to the processing area for further reduction in size and removal

off site All free standing columns remaining following removal of the trusses will be sheared at the

base of the column through the flanges leaving the web intact. The excavator with attachment will then lower the column to the floor and complete the

shearing cut at the base. During all demolition the appropriate dust suppression will be used. Either a hose feed from

a Fire Hydrant or our Dust Suppression Unit (fire engine).

Dust Suppression Techniques



The amount of water to be used will be optimum to provide suppression of the airborne dust particles while not completely saturating the surrounding ground and causing silt run-off problems. The drains will be protected with G3 filters.

Any nearby identified gullies will be fitted with G3 silt membrane filters to avoid silt run off

into the drainage system. The windows and surround will be removed mechanically and located within a designated

area prior to removal of the asbestos rope seals under controlled conditions. Rope seals to the skylights will be separated from the window frames and disposed of as

hazardous waste in a sealed skip by ACMS Ltd. ACMS operatives will wear disposal overalls, Cat 3 Type 5/6, and face fitted Sundstrum face

masks with P3 filters. The bases of the steel columns that are connected to the concrete floor slab will be removed Trained operatives using oxygen propane burning equipment will cut the steel flush with the

concrete floor Before any hot works are undertaken a permit system will be issued as a control mechanism

to prevent an incident. The permit will be issued on a daily basis by Site Supervisor and all necessary risks and

control measures will be identified. The permit will be authorised and the recipient will sign the permit as acceptance of its

conditions

Structural Column

The hot works will be allowed to commence and during the works a trained fire watch will be

in attendance during the activities and will have two fully serviced fire extinguishers Upon completion of the hot works there will be a one hour “cool down” period for the works

in which the fire watch will maintain attendance and ensure that no fires ignite.

Cutting of columns flush with floor level



The hot works permit will be closed after all hot works have ceased and the cooling down

period has expired, by the individual who took the permit out. Process & Clear During the demolition of the building all demolition arisings generated will be progressively

removed from the working area All steelwork & concrete will be removed with the use of secondary excavators, 8 wheeled

wagons or articulated dump trucks. The material will be removed through an approved access to a processing area. This area

will be close to the working area to minimise travel distance and all material will be deposited within this area

Once the area has been established with appropriate fencing and signage the movement of

plant & equipment will be monitored by trained banksmen A series of excavators equipped with shears will begin to process the material into sections

that can be loaded onto vehicles for removal off site Composite materials will be segregated into different waste streams and will be removed

separately All vehicle movements will be covered with a consignment note and where required with a

waste transfer note. Crushing of Concrete Coleman & Company will notify the Local Authorities Environmental Health Department of

the site requiring the installation of Mobile Crushing Plant, by means of approved notification. This is to be in compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Care will be taken to locate the plant on site to eliminate the potential for any impact on the

environment. A demarcation zone will be erected by use of heras fence panels, a minimum of 3m around

the crusher ensuring sufficient distance is given to prevent direct access to moving parts or potential ejected materials coming into contact with persons or items.

Prior to operating the plant will be inspected and guards and emergency stops checked to

ensure they are in good condition and working order. These daily checks are in addition to inspection and maintenance checks before use and

installation on site. The operator’s manual must be available on site. Access will only be allowed for machine plant being loaded and the collection of crushed

stock pile. Only Coleman & Company personnel will be allowed in this area, under the supervision of the Site Supervisor.

While the crusher is operating, the crusher operator must stand outside the exclusion zone.

The exclusion zone will be suitably signed. The crusher will be discharging the material off the belt directly in the crushing area. Dust

suppression will be supplied to the Crushing Plant via a direct water main supply.



The dust suppression is afforded through the manufacturers standard spray unit over the

hopper and discharge belt. The water will be fed directly from a licensed metered standpipe. All guards on the crushing plant are standard and are in good working order and are

checked regularly and the inspection record daily by the crusher operator.

Typical Layout of Crushing Activities

The guards must never be removed, unless for maintenance work while plant is completely

turned off and by competent persons under a permit. Upon completing any maintenance work all guards should be re-installed and a full inspection carried out and recorded.

The crushing plant is checked on a daily basis by the operator, oils, fuel water, guarding,

feed belts, safety start and emergency stop buttons etc. The operator will wear the required PPE whilst operating the machine including ear

defenders and P3 mask. The operator will control the machine from the ground outside the exclusion zone, unless there is a blockage (see note below).

360° Excavator will load the Crushing Plant with the processed concrete and masonry. If blockages occur, the plant will be stopped, keys removed, 360º excavator operator

notified, and the crusher operator will investigate and clear the blockage and a permit issued A fully trained and certified Operative will operate the Crushing Plant. A loading shovel will clear the processed material from the belt of the Crushing Plant and

transfer to the crushed material stockpile. All crushed material will be transported to an approved area for future use on the site.

4.42 The area where the material is being removed must be correctly set up, ensuring that there

is no risk of cross contamination. The materials must be removed whole where possible. All reasonable attempts must be made to ensure no unnecessary breaking of the material.

4.43 Where appropriate the material will be kept damp using water to ensure no excessive levels

of dust arise 4.44 The material will be disposed of into suitable containers, and removed in accordance with

Duty of Care Regulations 4.45 ACM’s will be removed from the building at regular intervals, thus ensuring that hazardous

substances are not accumulating on site. 4.46 Should any asbestos be discovered which was not foreseen or anticipated then the following

procedure should be followed: Ensure that work in that area immediately stops. This area will then be closed off and marked up as an exclusion zone. The Site Supervisor must be informed and in turn must inform his Project Manager

via Shady Lane reception noting it as an incident. Call 0121 3252424. RWE Mark Pedlar should be contacted on Tel: 07901750800

The site supervisor will assess if there are any other works, which are being conducted in similar areas, which are now suspected to contain asbestos.

If this is the case then work in those areas should also come to an immediate stop.



These areas are to be sealed off and marked up as exclusion zones. A suitable method of work and removal will then be chosen. Project manager will then advise an appropriate course of action.

4.47 Should any materials (including redundant gas bottles or fire extinguishers) be found on site

they will be collected together (stored in a suitable location) and returned to a suitably licensed facility. If there are any materials found which are unknown or suspected to be hazardous then work in that area will cease and the Project Manager will be contacted in order for a suitable method to devised for the work to continue.

This methodology is to be strictly adhered to at all times. In the event of any occurrence that may necessitate a change to the method e.g

(a) Changes in the nature of the works (b) Additional works , ancillary works (c) Previously unknown / unidentified risks (asbestos/suspect material/ etc) (d) Ground/site conditions

The works will cease and an assessment will be made as to the most appropriate course of action to be taken. The revised method of work MUST be agreed by a Project Manager and approved by the HSEQ Manager / Contracts Director and the agreed method will be advised to the workforce by the Site Supervisor by means of a toolbox talk or suitable method.



This will require the risk assessment and method statement to be reviewed and approved as per Coleman procedures (see above) and must be signed off prior to any changes commencing. This may include the site supervisor drafting a proposed method for review and approval (refer to cover sheet for details of signing procedures) and forwarding to the PM in sufficient time for the reviews and approvals to be undertaken, and where required issue of the documents to the client / CDM-C / client’s representative. Coleman and Company accept no liability for injury to persons, damage to plant, property or materials resulting from the acts of Sub Contractors working outside the scope of their agreed method statement.
