5. Underground Services6. Site Clearance

Accessibility to site Temporary road is required to

access construction site

Carry load to site

Water Table

Ground water level ( pump out all the underground water )

Available facilities

If issues is schools/shop or any other facilities we need to be extra careful due to the peoples might go into the construction site.

Public facilities such as hospital, school and others need to be taken under consideration before undergo any activities for construction (if any)

Avoid unnecessary noise or disruption during operational hours

Subsoil

Sand ( excavate until a certain depth to reach the minimum movement of construction)

Clay Gravel Hard rock ( high excavation

cost, good foundation, high bearing capacity)

Underground Services

Water pipelines ( prevent from damage while excavating )

Electricity Cable ( engage with Licensed Cable Detection Workers ( LCDW) to carry out cable detection works )

Security & SafetyFencing For the safety of labourer

Hoarding Provide public safety Avoid unauthorised access To confined any risk during demolition, exaction or any unprecedented

falling objects

Potential hazards for workers in construction include: Falls (from heights) Trench collapse Scaffold collapse Electric shock and arc flash/arc blast Failure to use proper personal protective equipment Repetitive motion injuries. Training provided for safety reason Gloves, head protection

Types of accommodation

wind events .

Wooden huts

Gravel Road

Consists of crushed stone ,sand & fines .

Suitable to be used in construction side .

Need frequent maintenance

Dirt road Slightly narrower than

than gravel road . Muddy & slippery when
