CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY FOR WORKS ON SITE


Site Organization
Temporary yard such as stockpile and fabrication yard for construction works shall be prepared within
the site after soil improvement. Location and general site layout shall be considered to avoid traffic and
congestions during mobilization of materials, machines and obstruction to construction during the
course of different activities in the site.

It is necessary to set up a Steel fabrication yard in order to carry out the cutting and bending of
structural steel frames, reinforcing bars, formwork and so on. In addition, those fabricated, cast,
assembled products will be temporarily stocked at the Stockyard. The yards will be graded flat at the
designated area and with adequate drainage.

A joint survey with the Clients representative shall be carried out to establish control points and
confirm the coordinates and elevation prior to the commencement of the construction works. After
confirming the coordinates and elevations of all the building location, survey location for piling and
excavation shall be carried out each stage of the works.
Assessment for Existing services prior Earthworks
8
Checks on all available drawings from the Client technical team/ authorities will be conducted. Before
commencing work, we shall ensure that all the services have been disconnected and made safe and that there is
Certificate of Isolation for this on site from the concerned utility bodies. Mark up location and date of all
disconnections on a site plan. We shall check identified redundant services for validity prior to commencement
of work.

Survey and Setting out works


Benchmarks and control points shall be fixed and maintained in proper manners on Site. Surveyors will carry
out the works in accordance with the approved drawing. Contractor shall record which control points have been
used for each section of work when setting levels.

Demolition works for Existing building/structures in the Right of way


All demolition works shall comply with the Ghana building code 2018 and section 274 of the Work Health and
Safety (WHS) Act. Practice for Demolition. Also, the demolition of structure shall be carried out in accordance
with the provisions set out in the Workplace Safety and Health Act. All underground and above ground
services at the site and around the site perimeter shall be detected and a services plan will be produced to enable
any removal and further replacement. Pre-construction Survey shall be carried out including the proposed
demolition site and the vicinity and a report shall be prepared. The report will be signed by the Client and shall
be submitted to consultants.
All utility companies and relevant agencies shall be consulted prior to demolition of any form structure if the
corresponding services are going to be affected within the right of way. All the services within the area of
demolition shall be terminated or capped off and the last manhole/inspection chamber shall be sealed.
The demolition plan shall ensure that during the course of demolition, no existing utilities in the vicinity of the
demolition sites are affected by the demolition operation.

Earthworks and Excavation works (General areas)


Upon approval of construction drawings, machineries and survey team will be mobilized to site. The survey
team will establish survey control such as Temporary Bench Mark (TBM) and alignment control to mark the
limit of excavation. The area that need to be excavated will be pegged and volume of excavation will be
determined.
Long arm excavator 300 series will be required for the deep of excavation more than six meter. The proposed
structure that will require this type of excavator shall be the Jacking and Receiving Pit.
For excavation, less than six-meter-deep we proposed to use a normal excavator 300 series or 200 series
depending on the volume of excavation. Excavated material will be hauled immediately to fill the idling area
within the site or to be disposed to our own dumping site. Tipper Trucks will be employ to do the hauling. A
Backhoe and a bulldozer will be used to level the dumped excavated material. No excavated material shall be
stockpile within the vicinity of an excavated area or newly constructed structures to avoid slope failure. The
trench mainly excavated by excavator equipment with manual cleaning the bottom of trench. If there is rock,
the hydraulic hammer will be used to break it down before excavation.
During excavation, a team of surveyor will regularly monitor the excavation level to avoid over cutting. For
slope stability, we propose that any excavation up to four-meter-deep shall have a gradient of 1: 1. Excavation

9
more than 4m deep we propose to stabilize the slope with sheet piling or timber pile to avoid any untoward
happenings. We expect the ground water table are quite high in this area, probably 2.0 meter below the original
ground level. To ensure smooth excavation, we will provide water pumps to pump out water from the
excavated area. As per design drawing and site visit, the excavation works will take necessary protection
measure according to different soil condition, depth of trench as well as general soil condition along the
pipeline. In case the deep trench and soil condition is unstable or sewer lines exit along the pipeline, the trench
shoring measure use H type steel pile with steel sheet will be adopted.
Once trench is excavated, the traffic control and safeguarding shall take place. As per traffic condition and
shopping business condition around the locality, we shall make temporary bridges on difference place to reduce
the inconvenience. The bridge made by steel plate timber and steel fence.
The soils excavated from the trench shall stack along the pipeline trench. The upper layer sand or aggregate
shall stack differently; the height shall not exceed 1.5m. The disposal of extra soil shall be carried out or
transported to special place for storage. When backfill may shall return. The treatment of foundation shall
comply with design specification.

Temporary shoring and sheet piling


For excavation between 1 to 5 meters, we propose to stabilize the slope by temporary timber shoring. For
excavation of more than five meters, we propose to stabilize the slope by installing temporary sheet pile. Used
sheet pile will be procured for this purpose. For a small excavation pit such as sump, overflow chambers etc.
we propose sheet pile FSP 3A to be driven 6 meter deep. A one-ton vibro hammer mounted to the excavator
shall be used to drive the sheet pile into position. Care should be taken to ensure the pile is properly
interlocked. The sheet pile walls then need to be sufficiently braced with universal beam to avoid collapse.

10
Blockworks
Bricks and blocks will be delivered to site and off loaded where possible directly adjacent to the areas in which
they will be required. The materials will be inspected upon delivery for quality and damage; any sub-standard
materials will be rejected. The materials will be stored on their pallets and protected from the elements by shrink-
wrapping. The materials will again be inspected for quality and damage before being incorporated into the
structure. Care will be taken to establish the correct setting out the regular checks will be made for line, level and
quality as work proceeds. Risk assessments for manual handling will need to be carried out to alleviate any risk of
personal injury. Relevant precautions will be incorporated into method statements. Pallets of brick and blocks will
be distributed around site using the mobile dumpers, and they will be elevated into position and deposited on an
appropriately designed scaffold-loading bay. From there materials will be loaded out to the point of use by hand.

Formwork
The formwork shall comply with BS 8110 Clause 6.2.6 or as specified in the project specification. The formwork
should be constructed to remain sufficiently rigid during the concrete placing and should be sufficiently tight to
prevent loss of cement slurry from the concrete. The important qualities of good formwork relate to rigidity of
material, re-use, convenience of erection and striking and good surface finish. Execution of formwork shall take
into account climatic conditions, the expected heat of hydration and finishing of concrete surfaces.

Form surfaces
Form shall be sufficiently tight to prevent leakage of grout or cement paste. All surfaces of forms and embedded
materials shall be cleaned of any accumulated mortar or grout from previous concreting and of all matter foreign
material before concrete is placed in them. Plywood and other wood surfaces shall be sealed against absorption of
moisture from the concrete by either a field applied, approved form oil or sealer, a factory applied non-absorptive
liner.

Form Removal
The formwork shall be removed in accordance with BS 8110-1 Clause 6.2.6. Unless otherwise specified, the form
will be removed within a 10-day period for column, beam, slabs and other parts not supporting the weight of the
concrete.

Reinforcement
The rebar diameter, number and shape are to be as per the approved drawing and bar bending schedule. Rebar
spacing and lap length should be as per the approved drawing. Adequate concrete cover to be maintained on all
rebars. Links shall be provided as per the space provided in the drawings. Joints shall be staggered to minimize
congestion. The line and level of rebar is to be checked prior to casting. The rebar will be fixed in such a manner
that its stability is assured in all respect. Rebar and existing concrete will be presented for inspection before
placing shutters.

11
Prior to erecting the shutters, box out and cast in items will be installed. These will be fixed securely to ensure
that they do not move during casting operation. The area will be cleaned thoroughly by handpicking debris,
blowing out sand if any with a compressed hose.

Slab works
After backfilling works the next is casting slab on grade, make sure that all the area beneath grade slab have been
properly backfilled and compacted. Approval shall be obtained from the Consultants for waterproofing and
backfilling works prior to start slab on grade casting.

operation as per Project Specification, and shall be kept continuously moist for 24 hours, otherwise approved by
Company. Final curing shall be continued for at least 7 days in the case of structural concrete. During the final
curing, the concrete will be covered with polyethylene sheeting.

New sewer network construction works

12
Within a portion of the pipeline alignment along the existing roadway, an existing combined sewer is located
approximately in the middle of the road. This sewer shall be reconstructed at a new location, as part of the
Works. The sewer reconstruction shall be undertaken in stages, commencing from the upstream side, to maintain
the sewer gravitational flow during construction, as follows:

The new sewer and manholes are reconstructed at a minimum clearance of 3m from the proposed water pipeline
location, in segments.
New house connections shall be provided to each new segment as it is constructed.
A temporary tap from the new segment to the downstream existing sewer shall be provided
The old house connections and sewer segments shall be removed.
The next segment of the reconstructed sewer shall be connected to the previously constructed upstream segment,
without disrupting sewer service.
The process described above shall be repeated until it is no longer necessary to reconstruct any segment of the
sewer, i.e., until a minimum clearance of 3m is maintained between the proposed water pipeline location and the
sewer.

Sewer service to existing residences and businesses shall not be disrupted during the sewer reconstruction process.
Because of the narrow width of the roadway over a large portion of the area of required sewer relocation, the
Contractor shall be required to perform much of the reconstruction work prior to construction of the water
pipeline. Pipe material shall be UPVC and Carbon steel pipes.

Sewage treatment tanks works at TDC Quarters


Site land surveying works will be carried out in priority to establish site boundaries structures orientation, pipes
location, access, landscaping and other installations, which will be set out with appropriate mark-ups initially, and
to record existing ground features.
General topographical surveying works will be carried out for the whole sewage treatment expansion works under
contractual works scope in due course. Geotechnical ground boring works will be carried out in the designated
locations at appropriate intervals to ascertain underground geological features of the site of sewerage treatment
additional structures according to the contract.
After site survey and layout of boundaries of each respective work areas, site grubbing and clearing works with
approved permission from Engineer will be carried out initially, which shall be supervised by survey team.
Removal of top soil will then be carried out expeditiously. Any sand dunes encountered on the work area will be
handled with care during excavation to avoid contamination by soil or reject materials in order for such material
to be used in work once passed the required testing where it is applicable.
Road works would then be carried out up to preliminary levels along routes connecting major structures of
sewerage treatment process extension works. These access roads are planned to be built with priority based on
work program. The works will include roads to respective Working sites and Contractor’s camp facilities. Such
roads will facilitate movement of resources between various sites of work disciplines. These roads will be those of
initial stage, readjusted, rerouted in, and around the site depending on site requirements as the works develop
13
progressively. If blasting is necessary for excavation of underground rocks for foundation of the structures, steps
and procedures to secure all necessary licenses, magazines and approvals of Authorities concerned, will be taken
in due course and expeditious manner. Deep excavation works that may need blasting operations for major
sewerage treatment process structures with deep invert levels will commence with first priority.
Land for temporary use for stockpiling of backfilling materials coming from various excavation activities will be
built situated common to all working sites for effective material maneuver and utilization purposes. Temporary
access roads to such stockpile areas will also be constructed and maintained. To avert accidents or untoward
incidences to happen on site, safety precautions and measures will be taken during the course of whole
construction period. Safety signboards and warning signs shall be disseminated and installed to all working areas,
identified accident-prone areas, and critical zones in order to remind all working crews of the “Safety First” motto
at works all the time.
After the excavation up to desired formation levels has been established, structural works of sewerage treatment
process will commence. The construction of the main structures of Sewage Treatment Works shall normally start
from its substructures by laying down of blinding/lean concrete and mattresses of the foundations. Subsequently,
footings, stumps and underground slabs, walls, columns & beams shall be constructed in sequences. Particular
attention should be given to all underground piping works, electrical groundings and other embedment works of
the structures not to miss out its integration into the works prior to proceeding of concreting and backfilling
works.
Upon completion of concrete structural works, backfilling works will be carried out in appropriate thicknesses and
layers up to sub-grade level compacted to desired limits as per construction drawings and technical specifications.
The construction of superstructures shall just follow the completion of substructure. Inter-process Pipelines will
be carried out on top of the sub-grade and other structural levels built up between and next sewerage treatment
process structures. Electro-mechanical pumps, motors, penstock and other process components shall proceed for
installation once the structure is ready to accept those items and shall follow the electro-mechanical schedule.
All underground services lines i.e. sewerage drain, surface drainage, water main, electric power cable duct, cable
ducts for telecommunication will be constructed in parallel and in procedural manner.
Bedding and backfilling of the above pipeline works and service line works will be carried out with due care as
per technical specifications so that there would be no unbalance settlement occurrence after final pavement.
Construction of sub-grade will be completed with all above-mentioned Inter-process. Pipelines and underground
services lines built in properly implemented procedures.
Main Pipelines, Gravity Sewer and TSE lines will be undertaken with due expedition in their respective grids and
details in the drawings taking all good construction considerations, safety and under strict compliance with the
technical specifications.
Earthworks for Landscaping and Lagoons formation will be carried out on the sub-grade constructed and
excavation pit respectively as mentioned above. Other ways of roads, the spaces in areas designed for various
paving with concrete or asphalt or interlocking block will be graded and compacted to formation level. Concrete
or asphalt pavement or interlocking block pavement will be carried out properly in accordance with the
construction drawings and specifications.
Demolition of redundant buildings and structures will be carried out separately as per program in due course.
Major Road Pavement works to final finish level will be carried out on top of sub-grade after all precedent works
are completed. Planting on Landscaping Areas will be carried out when Treated Sewerage Effluent (TSE) water
becomes available from the sewerage treatment operation.

accepted subgrade layer in accordance with the technical specification to the line, levels, grades, dimensions and
cross section indicated on the construction drawings or as required by the Engineer.
Materials:
Base course materials will consist of a mixture of hard durable crushed rock particles and sand (crushed
sand/natural sand/ river sand) which satisfy the grading limits and other requirements of the technical
specifications.
The mix design shall be proposed in accordance with the Specifications for approval by the Engineer.
Quality control of materials will be carried out properly to the specified standards as routinely scheduled during
the construction period.
Production of Aggregates for Base Course:
This procedure is for reference only as sand & aggregates may be purchased from local Market/Supplier
The Crushing Facilities and the Mixing Plant shall be established at the proposed Plant Site.
Raw materials for crushing shall be hauled from approved quarry or natural stone sources if available.
Base aggregates will be produced from the crushing plant and each size of crushed aggregates will be combined in
the mixing plant to obtain the required grading parameter as per the mix design approved by the Engineer.

The mixed base course materials will be transported from the mixing plant to the job site by dump trucks.

Laying Procedure:
The transported materials by dump truck will be dumped directly into the hopper of the base paving equipment or
Motor grader, to form the specified uniform thickness on the prepared subgrade layer without any segregation.
Compaction will be executed by vibrating roller after spraying of water from water truck to maintain optimum
water content. If required, additional compaction will be made by the tire roller.
Rolling operations will begin from the outer edge of the roadbed towards the center, gradually in a longitudinal
direction, except on super elevated curves where rolling will begin at the low side and progress towards the high
side. The number of passes of road roller to achieve the required compaction shall be determined after trials and
testing.
After compaction, all voids in the surface shall be filled with base course aggregate meeting the requirement.
Water shall be applied to the surface and compaction continued. In no case shall any vehicle be allowed to travel
in single tract during compaction to avoid formation of depression or ruts in the finished surface.
Maintenance of Completed Base Course Layer:
The completed base will be maintained throughout the work except where portions of the succeeding course are
under subsequent construction.

16
Maintenance will include drainage, rolling, shaping, and watering as necessary to maintain the layer in proper
condition.
After careful inspection of the completed base layer, prime coat MC will be prayed at the pre-determined rate by
the bitumen distributor to prevent any damage from the site traffic or heavy rain.

Asphalt Concrete pavement:


Bituminous mixture will be considered to be purchased from local suppliers (Delivery Basis) and Asphalt
concrete pavement work will be considered and subcontracted.

General
This section of the method statement covers the provision, transportation, spreading and compaction of
bituminous mixture to construct the asphalt pavement in accordance with the technical specifications.
Bituminous Mixture will be supplied from an approved commercial mixing plant or the asphalt mixing plant of
adequate capacity will be erected at the Plant Site.
The mix design shall be proposed by the Contractor for the Engineer’s approval prior to starting asphalt paving
work.
Before commencing the work, the Contractor shall perform a site trial for the asphalt paving.
The following data shall be recorded and submitted by the Contractor for the approval of the Engineer:

During the transportation, care will be taken to avoid contamination or segregation.

17
Each loaded dump truck will be covered with canvas to protect the loaded bitumen from the effects of weather
and dust, if necessary.

Laying of Bituminous Mixture:


The asphalt mixture will be discharged from the dump trucks into the hopper at the front of the asphalt finisher.
The asphalt finisher will spread, vibrate and compact the bituminous mixture to the required uniform thickness
and surface regularity within the specified tolerance limits.
Compaction of Bituminous Mixture
Immediately after the bituminous mixture has been spread, it will be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by
Tandem Roller and Pneumatic Tire Roller.
The speed of each roller will not exceed 5 km/hr.
To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the rollers during the initial compaction, the wheels will be kept lightly
moistened with water.
The water will be carried in a tank equipped on the roller. Rolling will commence from the outer edge and
proceed longitudinally parallel to the centerline of the road.
Treatment of Transverse Joints:
Transverse joints will be formed by cutting neatly in a straight line across the previous run to expose the full depth
of the layer. The vertical face so formed will be painted lightly with a tack coat just before the abutting layer is
placed against it.

Site supervision, Safety and welfare for the works


Our approach to ensure an injury free site and minimizing frequent risks occurrences are as follows;
The site management staff will suitably induct all site operatives and visitors to the site before being allowed onto
the site.
All works to be undertaken will be carried out under the supervision of a permanent site representative from
China State Hualong Construction Staff. They will discuss with the demolition contractor the full extent of the
works-taking place and explain all the restrictions applicable to this contract.
All subcontractor operatives on site will be experienced workers trained in their respective duties and conversant
with the company’s Health and Safety Policy and project-specific method statements and safe systems of
working.
All trade operatives will be under the supervision of the Site Manager, who if applicable, speaks the particular
language of any non-English speaking operatives and will translate all site induction/toolbox talks and emergency
evacuation procedures. A signed statement is obtained to ensure all operatives on site have received and
understood all such safety instructions from China State Hualong Construction Staff.
All operatives will be expected to use in the proper manner, the correct tools, equipment and Personal Protective
Equipment for the task in hand. Each operative shall demonstrate a concern for safety on site, for other workers,
as well as for themselves. We will ensure that each operative wears the requisite personal protection equipment.
The site will be designated a ‘Hi-Viz’ and ‘hard hat’ area and operatives will comply with this.
All operatives and visitors will be required to undergo an on-site safety induction to ensure they are conversant
with the site rules and safe methods of working. Plant operatives will be Construction Skills Certification Scheme
holders and be responsible for the correct safe use of the items of plant they are using and ensure that it is
operated in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. All plant and equipment shall be the most
appropriate for each operation and the plant will be properly maintained and in good working order.
Site personnel will maintain warning signs, barriers and safety measures etc, and report any defects to their
foreman for his immediate attention and action. We will assess the requirements for First Aid based on the
numbers of operatives on site, and together with the subcontractors, provide the necessary facilities on site. Our
Safety Officer will be present in the event of any emergency on site, requiring attendance of the ambulance or
fire-fighting services, once services have been informed, the Site Manager will take the appropriate action. A Fire
35
Plan and emergency evacuation procedure will be in place and all operatives informed of these by the Project
Manager or other appointed site staff. A traffic and pedestrian plan will also be agreed prior to implementing and
clearly displayed on site. This will be regularly reviewed and amended as necessary. Prior to commencing on site,
a full and detailed risk assessment will be carried out and Safe Systems of Working issued to the Client’s Agent
for approval.

General Procedures
All operatives are issued with the relevant safety equipment and have strict instructions to ensure that they are
worn at all times within the confines of the site. All plant operatives are registered with the regulatory body. All
plant and equipment is suitable for the tasks which they will be required to perform, and are maintained in
accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations, and the statutory requirements. Adequate signs and notices
will be displayed at all times in the appropriate areas. Suitable hoses and standpipes are available for damping
down as the work progresses.

RISK ASSESSMENT
Assessment of Health & Safety Hazard/Risk, Environmental Risk & Risk from Hazardous Substances (COSHH)
and Control Measures. Risk is assessed in accordance with the HSE's Guidance Note INDG163:2002 "Five Steps
to Risk Assessment" plus our Professional Health and Safety Adviser's document "Risk Assessment Made Easy"
as:
Look for the hazards
Decide who might be harmed and how
Evaluate the risks and decide what control measures are required
Record the findings
Review the assessment and revise it if necessary. For a contract such as this, we separately assess health and
safety, COSHH and the Environment. The assessments are located within the site managers file and are specific to
the substance to be used on the site.

Responsibilities
In order to safely manage the project, the following management resources is provided. A Site Manager resident
on the site, a Contracts manager who will support him, a Site manager who is qualified and experienced in the
work to be undertaken. Sufficient competent trained and certificated operatives are provided to undertake the
work safely within the timescale envisaged. They are working under the direct supervision of the Site Manager.
All operatives are provided with and wear appropriate PPE.

EXIT STRATEGY
China State proposes to hand over works on all construction works upon overall completion stage for works. The
works will be handed over in during completion phase due to the nature of works within this scope of works and

36
once there is a safe route to practical completion and hand over then to Client will be done. For each phase, the
exit strategy will be implemented once safe access can be provided for usage.

SUMMARY
In the above method statement China State, have set out to demonstrate our commitment to a well-planned and
safely executed project. We have shown that the works have been carefully sequenced for both the construction
and occupation phases of the project. The Exit strategy allows the early occupation of the first phase of the project
and the progressive flow of works. These are only our proposals and we would welcome the opportunity to
discuss and develop these further. In the above text, we have explained the sequencing of the works and the
methods that will be employed to deliver a successful project in the shortest possible time. The above trade
method statements are of a general nature and indicative to a project of this type. Therefore, prior to the
commencement of each stage of the construction works, job specific method statements will be produced and
agreed with the China State`s Site management team and the HSE Supervisor for inclusion in the Safety Plan.

ESHS MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AND
IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

38
INTRODUCTION
China State is a company that works to British and Chinese standards and has a published Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) charter. The charter covers our policies towards health, safety, social and
environment, which are issues we see as interdependent. All of our processes and controls are geared
towards not only achieving quality and safety, but also doing so in a manner that is as considerate to the
environment and the general public as possible. This approach to environmental management plan
relates both to the greater world environment and to the immediate environment on and surrounding the
site itself. We try to select materials that can be sourced reasonably from sustainable sources. On a site
level, we strive to create an environment that is healthy and safe for our workers and which has little a
nuisance to the Environment.
China State Hualong Construction (GH) Limited Environment, Social, Health and Safety (ESHS)
Management System (MS) is a comprehensive system of policies, procedures, and industry standards
that has been developed and implemented to manage ESHS hazards and risks related to the development
of the CSHLC Project. Therefore, the ESHS MS covers all activities related to the management of the
operation phase of the project.
Training on environmental issues is compulsory for all staff and operatives.
Specific measures allowed for on this project are as follows:
Selection of products from sustainable sources.
Inclusion of proper washing, changing and toilets facilities on site for both staff and workers.
Inclusion of continuous cleaning at the exit prevents vehicles leaving the site from tracking dirt onto the
public roads.
Allowance to carry out the fabrication as much as possible off the site to minimize noise and dust.
Allowance to carry out any noisy activities quickly and efficiently so that any disruption is minimized.
Liaison with EPA to ensure that solid waste sent off site goes to an approved drainage.
Control of liquids on site to ensure that no liquid is inadvertently released into the external drainage
system.
Liaison with neighbours to ensure that any concerns are addressed immediately.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT POLICY


We will:
Integrate environmental integrity, social equity and economic viability into our business processes.
Provide staff with the resources to make environmentally sound decisions.

39

40
WASTE MANAGEMENT
The CSHCL Management Plan shall provide the proper measures for waste handling, storage,
transportation and disposal during the Operation Phase of the project.
China State will be responsible for the following activities:
Waste characterization study
Waste identification and storage (including site temporary storage locations, waste accumulation area,
waste handling, waste transportation, determining the final destinations for waste (including the
identification of approved waste receiving facilities) potential waste incineration requirements,
management of medical wastes, management of liquid wastes, waste documentation, and training.
China State will also address verification and monitoring processes.

Domestic Wastes
The Waste-management options will depend on the whether China State provides solid and hazardous
management services itself, or whether these will be the responsibility of an outside service provider. If
the last case occurs, it is necessary that we take the government waste disposal options and their
suitability where assessed for the project. Management and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous
wastes should be undertaken in accordance with guidance included in the General EHS Guidelines.

Hazardous Wastes.
There will be implementation systems for the proper screening, acceptance, and transport of dangerous
cargo based on local and international standards and regulations.
Chemical-handling facilities should be located with consideration of natural drainage systems and
environmentally sensitive areas. Hazardous materials storage and handling facilities should be
constructed away from active traffic and protect storage areas from vehicle accidents. There will be
strategies to reduce/replace the use of most hazardous materials, procedures to manipulate and storage
hazardous and non-hazardous materials, the criteria to select the places and construction characteristics
of storage places, maintenance inspections and monitoring of facilities, awareness and continuing
training of personnel, procedures for responding to spills. Hazardous wastes must be collected in a
suitable residual waste disposal for hazardous materials, authorized and consistent with applicable
guidelines.

Water Quality and Use

41
Regardless of the source, the water will need to be treated prior to human consumption and before use
for industrial purposes, therefore, the construction of the Sewage Treatment Plant is essential to cover
these needs.
Some of the best practices on water management for industrial purposes include:
Storm water management, based on a combination of the use of the site’s natural hydrology for
drainage, compact design and run-off reduction.
For ground water use, it is imperative a proper planning and detail design. At the same time, it is
necessary a rigorous program to monitor the quality of groundwater.
The use of water flow–control devices to ensure that water only flows to a process when the Park
Administrator should assure that the final effluents are consistent with the guidelines mentioned above.

Air quality management (including odours)


The main sources of atmospheric pollutants related to the project activities will be the emissions coming
from operations. We will undertake regular air quality measurement of the project areas.
Dust
The recommended prevention and control methods for these main sources of dust emissions include:
Provide nose marks for workers to put on in dusty working areas.
Enclosure of dust producing equipment, and use of local exhaust ventilation;
Use of dust extraction and recycling systems to remove dust from work areas;
Using appropriate control technologies (e.g. undertaking regular watering-down at work area/s
particularly near sensitive receptors, installing covers on back loads of dump trucks and large vehicles to
prevent dust generation).
Odours
In order to prevent and minimize odours coming from the project, we will ensure to adopt appropriate
techniques applicable in a way to avoid the odour from polluting to the communities.
Some examples of appropriate technology:
Installing and modifying equipment to reduce use of odorous chemicals
Capturing and recovering the off-gases from the processes (e.g. installation of heat recovery systems);
Routing of stack emissions through boilers to reduce odour emissions.
SOCIAL MANAGEMENT
Local Hiring Plan

42
The magnitude of the China States project will create expectations among the inhabitants of the
surrounding areas of the project.
The Employment policy for workers applicable to the project operation will be elaborated according to
the Government of Ghana regulations. This policy must give the priority to local inhabitants to have an
opportunity to work with our company on the project.
The recruitment policy of the work force and the procurement policy should be based on the following
premises:
The hiring process of workers will be exclusively through the project manager and the human resource
manager and will allow an equitable distribution of employment between the communities surrounding
the project.
Influx Management Plan
The Influx Population Management Plan will identify the roles and responsibilities from the Municipal
to control the impact of the increase influx of population during the Operation Phase of the project.
The Project manager will develop a communication strategy; provide a transport system and provide a
continuing training program for workers. At the same time, China State will ensure to provide housing
for workers that do not live in the communities surrounding the Project, all to avoid the formation of
slums around the Project.

Stakeholders’ Engagement Plan (SEP)


The Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) will address the activities for stakeholder engagement though
the project operation and decommissioning stages of the project. This document will be revised and
changed over time to reflect extra information gained through the stakeholder engagement process.
The Stakeholder Engagement Plan will:
Provide timely and continuous information about the project and the potential impacts on affected
communities and other stakeholders;
Provide opportunities to stakeholders to voice their opinions and concerns in a way which is most
appropriate to the circumstances, and
Provide an opportunity for feedback to, and discussion with, the affected communities concerning
measures proposed.
The project is committed to conduct stakeholder engagement on three levels: international, national, and
local.
The following activities will be envisaged at each level:
Identification, categorization and prioritization of project stakeholders and mechanisms for stakeholder
feedback and information sharing.

43
An outline for consultation and disclosure activities, starting at the project operation and continuing until
and throughout the decommissioning of the project.
Ensuring that issues raised by project stakeholders are addressed in the assessment reports as well as in
project decision- making and design.
The Stakeholder Engagement Plan will also be linked to the grievance mechanisms designed and
implemented by the client and us.

Sexual and Other Forms of Illegal Harassment


China State will not tolerate illegal harassment on the basis of race, colour, religion, disability, national
origin, gender (including gender identity, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions), age,
sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or for any other reason protected by law or ordinance
of our associates, applicants, clients, customers, or any other individual in the workplace, or at any
work-related function, or in connection with work for the Company. The workers will be made to
understand the implication of personally liable for illegal harassment. Retaliation against anyone who
will report illegal harassment of any kind, or who will participate in the investigation of an allegation of
illegal harassment, will be forbidden.

Security Management Plan


The Security Management Plan will be designed to address general security principles regarding
working with the government of Ghana; working with Project affected population; grievance
mechanisms; private security forces; and the identification and management of risks. The Security
Management Strategy will provide a brief overview of the security situation in the Municipal in recent
years and present the overall security strategy that will be implemented in respect of the identified
potential threats and other security risks.
The Security Management Plan will include the commitment of China State to manage security risks in
full compliance with the laws of Ghana.

HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY


This Issue is the highest priority on any China State project. One of the first actions taken after award of
contract will be the preparation of a Safety Health and Environment Plan for the site. This plan will
detail all measures to be taken to control health, safety and environment on site. For example, the plan
includes the schedule of site inspection, the layout of fire extinguishers and first aid kits and the action to
be taken in the event of an emergency. Extensive training on safety is provided to all staff and operative.
This includes an induction before they are allowed on site. At this induction, the safety plan will be
explained in both English and in the local Ghanaian languages to ensure that, the measures are clearly
understood.
Examples of Health and safety measures that have been allowed for on our previous projects include:
44
Morning meetings. Prior to starting work each day, the project manager chairs a meeting with all
supervisors to discuss safety issues relevant to current activities.
Site induction and training for all staff and operatives including the client team.
Provision of personal protective equipment for all operatives and staff. At a minimum, this will include
hard-hat, boots and overalls. In addition, high visibility vests, ear defenders, safety harnesses and
goggles may be issued depending on the activities being carried out.
Independent safety audits will be held each month by a Ghanaian safety consultant.
China State safety advisor will audit the site every six months to ensure conformance to specified
standards.
China State safety officer will inspect weekly all plant and equipment and provide the project manager
with inspection sheets.
Any first aid incidents or ‘near misses’ will be recorded and investigated as if they had led to a serious
accident. Preventive measures will then be put in place to prevent recurrence.
The Employer and contract project manager will jointly inspect the site each week before the progress
meeting for the Employer team to be satisfied that all relevant measures are being taken.
Security on site is also taken very seriously. Allowance has been made for 24-hour security on all site
accesses as well as a security patrol continuously overnight. All guards will have radios so that in the
event of any problems they can communicate with China State Central Security Office that can provide
support or in the worst case arrange for the police to come to site.
We are committed to conducting the project safely and continually improving our policies and practices
for the future. Our aim is to create a workplace culture to integrate safety into all activities, every day.
We strive to maintain our corporate goal of an accident-free workplace and will continue our pursuit of
excellence in health and safety.
