Completion of the Contrarinr's Camp and Supervisor's facilities, however, refer to the extent that these should have been ready for the commencement of the Permanent works. Some of the Contractor's Installations will extend beyond the Contractual Mobilization period The above establishments will be used, mainly, for the Addis Ababa - Modjo section of the works but will serve also for the first part of the Modjo - Awassa section up to Km +113.U. The establishment of the first Borrow Pits has already taken place at the end of the Mobilization period 2.0 Site Preparation 24 Site Clearance and Removal of unsuitable Material. BOQ items: 2.4 Site Clearance 2.10 Removal of other unsuitable material and 2.13 Transport of unsuitable material Site preparation includes the Site Clearance operations, the Removal of unsuitable material and the Transport of this material, as designated by the ‘Supervisor, to areas outside the limits of view from the project. This will be done with written permission of the property owner or the authority having jurisdiction over the area on whose property the material is placed The volume of work involved in the above activities is insignificant and, therefore, not of critical importance to the worko on thie eection. These activities will be carried out using: JIN, Gal Mulurgrader 14G 4No. JCB backhoe/loader & 1No. Truck 15 m3 capacityThe personnel intended to be engaged for the above activity will include: 1No, Foreman/Supervisor 2Nos. Machine Operators & 1No. Heavy Duty Truck Driver In addition, the above personnel will be assisted by General Labour, Securny and Trafic Controllers, Surveying Crew, Tine Keepers/Clieckers and other personnel as may be necessary. The above equipment and personnel is not exoected to be enaaaed for more than 10% of their capacity in the above activities leaving 90% of their capacity to be utilised in the built up of Shoulders and/or earthworks for climbing lanes activities, which will be carried out in parallel, for this section. For the performance of the roadbed preparation on the existing shoulders we are going to use a CAT 14G Motorgrader to remove sod and unsuitable material, the disposal of this material and level the top level of the shoulders before humidifying and compacting it to accept the next Layer of fill and/or subbase material specified in the new strategy of the Addis Ababa - Modjo part of the works. This activity will take place over the wholo width of tho road where traffic diversions will be used. Where Traffic diversion will not be used this activity will take place on only one of either Shoulders, along the side of the road, at any un lin, alluwing the traffic to use the other Shoulder and part of the existing road (on which there will be no construction activity) in lengths of up to an approved, by the Consultants, maximum length When one side (left or right shoulder) is completed we will proceed to complete the other Shoulder on the other side of the road. li ulinbing lanes this activity will be carried out independently, outside the existing carriage way and without interference with the Traffic. All the security traffic sians and other measures, as required by the Contract and the relevant Authorities, will be taken for the safe and efficient performance of these works.B.

Assuming 35% production during the rainy season from mid June to end of July 1999 (1.5 months of rainy season) we will have approximately 9.25 working months (05 lass 1.5 x 0.65). ‘Assuming a 10hr/day shift, working 6daysiweek i.e. 260hr/month the volume to be handled by the above equipment is approximately 140m2/hr which will only require 15% of the capacity of the equipment during this period leaving enough time for tha equipment to be utilized in the Sito cloarance and the Construction of the Sub-base layers on the Shoulders.milling with WIRTGEN 2,500 milling machine. A. Description of the Activities, For te performance uf the roadbed preparation of the existing road we are using a WIRTGEN 2500 milling machine to mill the existing road surface shape and compact it to the designed profile. The final formation of the profile will be carried out on site by a Motorgrader CAT 16G. During formation adequate water will be sprayed to humidity, the Sub-base. and compact it. This activity will generally take place, in full widths of the road. The Traffic will be diverted through existing roads or diversions along the Addis ~ Ababa ~ Modjo Road all in accordance wilh a pre-approved Traffic Management Programme. Where Traffic diversions can not be used so that the Road Traffic can be entirely diverted from the existing Road this activity will be carried out in half widths allowing the Traffic to use only one lane and controlling the flow of Traffic at each and with STOP and GO Flag man This operation will be carried out only after bringing the level of the right and left shoulders up to the level of the existing Asphalt as described under item 5.1 (Subpase Construction). Appropriate lighting and Traffic sings will be used for control and safety of the Traffic: during the night The length of this half width construction will be minimised as far as possible and requested for approval prior to commencement of the milling operation. Following this work we intend to proceed with the construction of the Base layer followed with the Asphalt works. That means that in general the distance hatwean the Suh-hase works and the finished Asphalt layer is going to he minimized as far as possible, and subject to the approval of the supervisor. All the security traffic signs and other measures, as required by the Contract and the relevant Authorities, will be taken for the safe and efficient performance of these works.

Other Drainage Works in this section include the extension of existing culverts in the Climbing lanes, Cleaning of existing Culverts and Re-profiling of existing ditches. These are of minor nature and have no critical significance to affect the progress of the Works in this section. It is intended to sub-contract the Drainage Works of this section to one or more local sub-contractors and have these works carried out independently of the other activities. No major equipment are required for these works other than transport of materials and the Contractor intends to assist the local Sub-contractor(s), in this respect. Re-profiling of unpaved ditches and Construction of discharge ditches in this section, however, will not be Sub-Contracted and will be carted out in parallel with Construction of the Shoulders. ‘The Construction of reinforced concrete covers for the paved ditches is intended to be carried out independently at the Contractor's site installations at the Quarry at Km 60,00 for part of the works and at the Quarry at km 157.00 for the rest of the works. Alternatively these may be Sub-contracted to local companies but under the direct Supervision and control of the Main Contractor. When the Construction of paved ditches is completed or is at an advanced stage he reinforced cunuiete covers will Le transpurted frum the place where they are manufactured and placed on top of the paved ditches by a separate crew. 4d onstruction of. ling terrai in town section: Construction of paved ditches in town sections for Addis Ababa-Modjo section of the works includes the excavation of material, and construction of masonry paved ditches. For the execution of the job, sand from Meki, stone from km 60+000 and cement form Muger are intended to be used cement’ ‘sand ratio will be 1:3 This work is being carried out by an approved Sub-contractor. The following resources will be employed: BPlant and Equipment: No Concrete Mixer ‘4No Water Tanker 3Nos dump trucks for transportation of sand and stone Hand tools as required Personnel: 1 No Mason Foreman 4 No Machine operator Nos Dump truck Drivers 6 Nos Masons 39 Nos Labourers: In addition, the above personnel will be assisted by security and Traffic controllers. surveying crew, Time Keeper, Engineer (40%) and other personnel as may be necessary. 4.9 Cleaning of culverts Cleaning of culverts for Addis Ababa-Modjo-section of the works includes the excavation of suil material deposited in the oulverts and dicposal of excavated material outside the limits of view from the project. This activity will be carried out using hand tools such as shovels, picks and wheelbarrows. ‘The personnel intended to be engaged for the above activity will include. 1 No Labour gang leader 6 No Labourers In addition, the above personnel will be assisted by surveyor Timekeeper Engineer (20%) and other personnol ae may be necessaryThis activity will take place prior to milling of the existing carriage-way item 2.14 of the B.0.Q, descrived eater in this Method Statement report. For the performance of the shoulder built up on the Shoulders of the existing Toad we are going to use a CAT 14G Motorgrader tu scarily the exioting shoulders and mix it with other imported material to obtain the standards for sub base material, as specified in the new strategy of the Addis Ababa ~ Modjo part of the works. This scaritication will take place only in the areas where the thickness of the additional layer of the new material is not adequate to ensure proper bonding between the old and new layers (generally less than 10cm). Where the thickness of the new additional material to be used for shoulder built up is adequate (generally more than 40cm) the new layer will be constructed without prior scarification of the old (existing) layer. In both cases the surface of the existing shoulders will be cleaned from any sod and unsuitable material and the unsuitable material properly disposed of in accordance with the Contract requirements. The cleaned surface will then be watered prior to the construction of the new layer, for full layer eanstniction, or scarified. moistened and mixed with the new material, for small thickness shoulder built up. Tho matorial for tho shoulder build up will be transported tn the shoulders premixed in approved proportions and method (see Appendix C). ‘The bigger, than allowed in the opcoification, cizoe of material are going to be eliminated in the borrow Pits, by screening or other means, in case the material can not be reduced by Grader and/or the Vibrating Roller. The mixing ratios of fine material to cinder, if required will be determined by our laboratory and submitted for approval by the consultants. After the subbase mixture Is transported anid placed on the slivulders we will proceed to humidify, shape to the required profile and compact the sub-base This activity will take place, when there 1s no requirement for Fill material (no climbing lanes), on only one of either Shoulders along the side of the road, at any time, allowing the traffic to use the other shoulder and part of the existing toad (on which there will be no construction activity) in lengths ot up to a maximum to be approved by the Consultants.When one side (left or right shoulder) is completed we will proceed to complete the other side of the road with the Sub-base formation on the ‘Shoulder. in climbing lanes the build up of Subbase layers will take place in full width and with a Motorgrador after the Filling operations have heen completed as described earlier under the Earthworks section, for Addis Ababa - Modjo road, of this Method Statement report. The shoulder built up above the level of the existing carnageway 10 be milled will take place after completion of the binder course with the construction of the permeable (drainage) layer consisting of cinder material only and placed with a side Paver type DEMAG type SF-130P followed by the shoulder pultt up to the required level (just below the wearing course level) with Subbase material All layers above the existing road surface level will be applied with the side paver. All the security traffic signs and other measures, as required by the Contract and the relevant Authorities, will be taken for the safe and efficient performance af thase works.B Lis Of Magtinery (i) 1 Unit Bulldozer Type CAT DON (i) 1UnIt CAT S06F wheel toader (iil) 1 Unit of SCREEN (if required), for the screening of Subbase material at the Borrow Pits (iv) 1 Unit Motorgrader VAI 146 (v) 1 Unit side paver type DEMAG type SF-130P (vi) 4 Units of Tipper Trucks 15m3 capacity each (Average) (vii) Water Bowzers as required (viii) 1 Unit Self Vibrating Roller 15 Tons Type HAMM 2520D Other general equipment as Vehicles, Hand Rollers/Plate compactors, Lowbed and Flatbed trailers, Mobile service units, as required.

D, Production Perimeters: According to the Performance programme, the Subbase will commence in mid November 1998 and completed by mid August 1999 i.e. in 9 calendar months or, assuming 20% production during the rainy season from mid June to mid August (2 months of rainy season). 7.4 working months (9 less 2 x 0.80), The total quantity of Sub-base material to be placed on the Shoulders and compacted during this period is + 90,000m3, which amounts to + 12,165m3 per month. Assuming a 10 hrs/day shift, working in 6 daysiveek 260 hr/month), the volume to be handled by the above equipment is approximately 47 m3/hr. This quantity can easily be handled by the above equipment in much less time than shown in our Time Space Diagram but it has to follow the Binder Course and cansentiontly the Rase Cauirsa aparations which are of Critical duration. ‘The mixing of the Subbase material is presented in Appendix C of this Method Statement Report.5,2 Construction of Base course ‘This Work method covers the avtivily desuibed under item 5.2 Construction Of Base Course. The Production of the Base course material at the selected quarries is outlined in Appendix “B” of this Report. Hae 7 The base course material will be transported from either the Quarry at km+60.00 or the Quarry at km25.00 where the production will ha atnekpiled The Base course stockpile may be moistened, if necessary, at the stockpile. For the construction of the Base Course layer, we are going to use Motorgrader type CAT 14G for spreading and the final reshaping will be done by a Motorgrader lype CAT 10G with Levelling instrumentation for the final shaping. We will proocod to humidify, compact and test the final layer. The Compaction is going to be done with a Self-vibrating Roller of 15-Ton capacity. Construction width:- Where Traffic can be accommodated through diversions or existing roads the operation will be carried in the full width of the road. Where the Traffic cannot be diverled, however, the base course construction operation will be carried oul it half widllis Uf the rad allowing the other half of the road to be used by the Traffic in single lane movement controlled by STOP and GO Flagmen. All appropriate safety measures for the safe and uninterrupted flow of Traffic will be taken as described elsewhere in this Method Statement Report. 18B._List Of Machinery (i) Tipping Trailers 18m?

Productivity Perimeters The total quantity of base course material to be handled by the above resources is t 125,000 m3. The period shown in the Performance Program for the Construction of the Base course (Loauing, Transport, Spreaving, Levelling and Compacting) ts 10 calendar months (1% October, 1998 to end of July, 1999). Assuming 95% production during the rainy season (4.5 months) the duration of this activity will be 9 working months (10 less 1.5 x 0.65) In the 9 months required by the programme we must load approx. 13,900m3/month (4 125,000m3/9 months), 53m3/hr which can easily be handled by one CAT 966 Wheel Loader. Spreading and shaping of the final Road level will be done by the two Motorgraders, which are considered to be more than adequate for this operation Will the Muluiyaue: CAT 14@ we should be spreading & compacting aruund 2.000m'/day and with the Motorgrader CAT 16G we should be shaping 8,000m2/day (approx. 1.0Km of Road with Base course). For the Transport of the Base Course material from the quarries we are using Tipping Trailers 18.0m3 capacity each The average number of Tipping Trailers required to move the above quantities of Base course material, assuming an average travelling distance of 15Km from each Quarry, will be GNos, assuming 5 tips per day for each of the Tipping Trailers (540m3 per day/18m3 per truck/Strips per day per truck).

D, Productivity Paranusters: AN” INTRAME “ Latch type asphalt mixing Plant of theoretical Capacity of 260 ihr will be used to produce Asphaltic concrete mix. Tha works have been programmed considering @ practical rate of 195tons (75% of theoretical Production) with a working coefticient ot /U% In the dry season and 35% inthe rainy season (mid June to mid September) Ine Asphalt Plant Gan switch from ono typo ‘of Mix to another (eg Rinder to Wearing Course & vice versa) automatically & no delays are expected in this respect. The 1* location of the Asphalt Plant will be at km + 60.00 The Addis Ababa - Modjo part of the Project will be completed within 9% calendar months from eid uf October 1998 to mid August 1999 in acrnrdance with the contract requirements and as shown in our works Programme. The Asphalt works on the Modjo - Awassa Part up to Km108.00 will commence in parallel with the Addis Ababa - Modjo part with priority always torthe Addis Ababa - Mogio part until the mid August 1999 dead-line, when this part will be completed. The Asphalt works will start at Km + 60:00 and progress to Km 70:00 and will then be moving towards Addis Ababa, from km 60:00 (The surface treatment uf the shoulders and other tinishing works are scheduled to be carried out soon after the Wearing course for each section of the road that is laid so that the road is completed in its entirety as the works progress. The most critical activity determining the duration of the Asphalt works is the production of the asphalt aggregates covered under Appendix “B” of this Report. Assuming an availabilitylefficiency factor of only 70%, the production of the Asphalt Plant which will be operating (producing) from mid August 1998 to mid Apill 1989 for the Addis - Modjo section (total of 8 months) can reach a total Production of 284,000tons (8months x 195 whr x 0.70 x 260 hrs/month) or approximately 130% more asphaltic concrete mix than is required for this section leaving this excess of the produced quantity to be used for the Modjo - ‘Awassa section up to Km 118.0. The quantity of Asphalt (Binder plus Wearing Course) for the Modjo Awassa section up to Km + 118 is estimated to bo approx. 90,000 Tons or approx. 37% of the total Production of the Asphalt Plant at Km 60.0 for the period of + 8 months than it will be operating at this location. The proportion of Asphalt Production to be allocated for the Addis Ababa - Modjo and Modjo - Awassa part of the works (up to Km + 118.0) will therefore be 45% & 39% respectively, leaving 20% of the Production Capacity of the Asphalt Plant for slack. The Asphalt laying equipment, mentioned above, is adequate fur the whole Quantity produced and no problems are anticipated in handling the production of the Asphalt Plant. Where detours will be used to divert the traffic through diversions or existing roads along the Addis Ababa ~ Modjo section Asphalt layers will be constructed in full width of the road but laid in half widths of the carriage way. i.e. one lana af 3.5m width in rural areas and 6.0m width in Town areas. in a single operation and laid in echelon, avoiding, thus, as far as possible, longitudinal construction joints in the Asphalt layers. completing laying of tha full width of the Carriage way during the day's operation. Where Traffic can not be accommodated through diversions or existing roads the laying of asphalt will be carried out In naif widths up to a maximum lane length to be approved by the Consultants allowing the Traffic to use the other half and part of the shoulder in single lane (one way) Traffic flow Appropriate STOP and GO flag men will be used, in this case, to implement the Traffic Management measures required for the safe and uninterrupted flow of Traffic. 2BTwo Asphalt paving finishers will be used on this activity on the same section of the works. Assuming laying speed of the Asphalt Finishers to be 4m/minute (Pavers Specification call tor a laying speed ot U to 15 meters/min), the total lane Kms to be laid are 44) Fur Aduls Ababa - Modjo section 60Km x 2 lanes x 2 layers = 240 Lane Kms, b) For Modjo - Awassa section 38 x 2 lanes x 2 layers = 152 Lane Kms Total 392 Lane Kms {at 4mimin 4 x 60 = 240m/hr or 0.24 Km/hr both pavers can lay a minimum theoretical length of 4.8 Kmn/day. Therefore, assuming a practical laying speed of 4Km/day the time required for 392 lane Kms is only 98 days (working) approximately 4 months.) 47.0__Read Furniture This activity includes the supply & installations of all Road Signs as well as the Road markings.

Alternatively and when te aspliall thickness on the existing Road is of ‘small thickness so that it can be scarified, a CAT Motorgrader with Scarifiers or other appropriate equipment will be used. The bigger, than allowed in the specification, sizes of material are eliminated in the Borrow Pits, by screening or other means, or if in small quantities, on the road by hand. If they can not he reduced hy the CAT Motorgrader. The mixing ratios of fine material (cinder), have been determined by our laboratory and approved by the Consultants. Mixing is carried out either by pretnixing In the Borrow pit or by a Motorgrader CAT 14G on the road. After the mixing has been completed we will proceed to humidify, shape to the required profile and compact the Sub-base, Following this work we intend to proceed with the construction of the Base Course layer followed with the Asphalt works. In certain special circumstances, when changing the position of the Asphalt Plant or the Crusher Plant installations we will be forced to work in road lengths longer than the 5 km length limitation specified in Art. 8.22, Part L of the [echnical Specifications, subject to approval by the Client All the security traffic signs and other measures, as required by the Contract and the relevant Authoritics, will be taken for the safe and efficient performance of these works, 39B.List Of Machinery 1 Unit Bulldozer Type CAT D6N 1 Unit Wheel Excavator O8K type MH6 {iv) 1 Unit of SCREEN (if required), for the screening of Subbase material at the Borrow Pits (v) 2 Units Matargrader CAT 14G 11 Units of Tipper Trucks 15m* capacity each ( Average ) Water Bowzers as required (viii) 1Unit Salt Vibrating Roller 15 Tons Type HAMM 2520D (ix) 1 unit WIRTGEN 2500 Milling Machine or other appropriate scarifying equipment.

Production Perimeters According to the Performance programme, the Subbase works will commence in the beginning of October 1998 and completed by mid January 2001 i.e. in 27% calendar months or, assuming 35% production during the rainy season from mid June to mid September (6 months of rainy season), 23.6 working months (27% less 6 x 0.65). Tne total quantity of Sub-base material to be placed and compacted during this, period is + 470,000m3, which amounts to + 20,000m3 per month. Assuming 210 hrs/day shift, working in 6 daysiweek, 280 hrimonth), the volume to be handled by the above equipment is approximately 77 m3/hr (ie. 310m*hr assuming an average thickness of 0.25m/m2 of Road bed preparation). 40Considering a factor of availability/efficiancy. for tha above equipment, of 76% both the loading equipment (CAT 980) as well as the Motor Grader are more than adequate for this operation. (Theoretical luauiny capacity of Gat 98U Is ZUUMSINT and Spreading/Levelling capacity of CAT Motorgrader 14G is around 800m*/hr). Assuming that the WIRTGEN 2500 Milling Machine will have to scarify 90% of the Modjo-Awassa Road (1,080,000m? @ 90% at the rate of 240m/hr) it will require approximately 4,050 working nrs oF 1.6 months allowing 8.0 months for Addis Ababa — Modjo part of the work (500,000 m?) §.2 Construction of Base course This work method covers the activities descrihad under items 5.2 Conetruction OF Base Course.

Productivity Perimeters The period shown in the Performance Program for the Construction of the Base course in the Modjo-Awassa section of the works is 27% calendar months (beginning of October 1996 ty iid January 2001). Assuming 35% production during the rainy seasons (6 months) the duration of this activity will be 23.6 working months, In the 23.6 months required by the programme we must load approx. 17,330m3/month (£409,000m3/23.6 months), 66.66m3/hr which can easily be handled Ly Ue CAT 966 Wheel Loaders. Spreading and shaping of the final Road level will be done by the two Motorgraders, which are considered to be more than adequate for this operation. With the Motorgrader CAT 14G we should be spreading & compacting around 2,000m‘/day and with the Motorgrader CAT 16G we should be shaping 8,00012/day (approx. 1.0Km oT Koad with Base course). The average number of Trucks required to move the above quantities of Base vourse material, assuming an average travelling distance of 20Km from each Quarry, will be 10, assuming 4 trips per day for each truck (670m3 per day/18m3per truch/Strips per day per truck).

Productivity Parameters Prime Coat, Cut Back and Tack coat Emulsion specified in the contract will be applied to the Base and Binder course respectively with sanarata sprayor trucke ong for the Cutback and one for the Emulsions, The rato of application will be determined with the supervision and advice of the Consultants and the Sprayor Trucks calibvaled avcoraingly. Some quantities of Cut Backs and Emulsions have been imported in drums and any additional Guantities required for the works will be manufactured by ourselves in the specially importod Emulsion plant. An” INTRAME "batch type asphalt mixing Plant of theoretical Capacity 260vhr will be used to produce Asphallic concrete mix The works have been programmed considering a practical rate of 195 hr ( 260 @ 75%) with a working coefficient of 70% in the dry season and 35% in the fainy eoacon (mid June to mid September). This hypothesis guarantees a placement rate for all the Asphalt paving in a Period of approximately 18 months of continuous laying although the Aspirall laying operations are scheduled to be completed in 27% calendar months, The 1* location of the Asphalt Plant will be at km +: 60.00 The Asphalt works on the Modjo - Awassa Part will commence in parallel with {he Addis Ababa - Modjo part with priority always for the Addis Ababa - Modjo. Part until the mid August 1999 dead line when thio part will be cuvnpleled. The Asphalt works on the Modjo - Awassa part will continue up to Km #108,00 approx. before the Asphalt Plant is relocated to Km + 158.00 and finally at its ast location at Km + 210.00 (3 Asphalt Plant locations in all), The works will always progress ( in general ) from Km £70.0 and moving in one direction, towarde Awaosa without haviny (v shift the Aspnalt laying equipment back and forth. 45During the periods when the asphalt Plant will be inactive, due to relocation of fhe Plant (involving uistriantiing and re - erection activitios) the surface treatment of the shoulders and other finishing works will be carried out, Additionally these works are scheduled to be carried out soon after the Wearing course for vavii section of the road that is laid is carried out that the road is completed in its entirety as the works progress and are advancing towards Awassa. The most crtical activity determining the duration of the Asphalt laying works is the production of the Asphalt and Base course aggregates covered undor the Felevant item (Construction of Base course) of this Method Statement Report. Assuming that the Asphalt producing and laying operations will be operating from the beginning of November 1998 to mid February 2001 (intal 27% ealends. morns - ess 3 months for relocation, less 3 months rainy season ( 2 rainy Seasons x 0.50 ) i.e. 21% working months at a production rate of 230Uhr x 0.70 = 160 thr the total Production during this parind will be in oxcoes of 899,980 tons (21.5 months x 230 Uhr x 0.70 x 260 hrs/month) or approximately 100% more asphaltic concrete mix than is required for the Contract. The Asphalt laying equipment wietitioned above is more than adequate for the whole quantity produced and no problems are anticipated in handling the production of the Asphalt Plant.

When producing aggregates for asphalt the Crusher Plant will be able to produce 360ton/hr. When producing both Base course and Asphalt aggregates the combined theoretical production of the Crushing Plant is assumed to be 37Ston/hr. Above production figures are theoretical and the actual prodiictinn figuras will be approx. 75% of the theoretical ones. To complete this operation the Crusher Plant will be assisted by a Crawler drilling Machine Involved drilling holes for the in Diasting. We nave assumed that at least a 90% of the Quarry materials will require the utilisation of explosives. For this operation (Base course and Asphalt aggregates production), we will have in addition to the Crusher Plant (Primary Secondary and Tertiary) one unit of Atlas COPCO 748C or similar Drilling equipment, a Crawler excavator type CAT 245 and a Dozer CAT DON on part time basis.

Productivity Perimeters The productivity output of the above resources (equiprenl) las been estimated on a 10hr work per day, six days a week i.e. 260hrs per month. The production ir the Quattizs will alsu Le increased, as necessary, with a couple shift work cycle. The total quantity of Base course for the Addis Ababa — Muyjy part of the works and the Modjo-Awassa part upto km#90:00 is + 125,000m’ that is about 265,000Tons. 200,000 Tons of the above Quantity of Base Course material will be produced at ‘our quarry at km+ 60.00 and 65,000 tons from the Quarry at km 25.00, The Quarry Q, at km=60:00 will also produce the total quantity of Asphalt aggregates for the Addis Ababa - Modjo section as well as the quantities for ‘Asphalt up to km.L1 13:00. Total quantity for aggregates required for Asphalt will be all produced at the quarry at km. 60.00 and is 1 190,000Tans. The Total quantity of material (Base Course and Asphalt aggregates) to be producod at tho above two quarries is 1455,000 Tons. In accordance with our programme we have started with the production of aggregate at tho ond of Junc 1908 and will work in the Quarry at km 00.00 up tu mid March 1999 and at the quarry at km 26.00 from the end of March 1999 to end of July 1999, i.e. 13 calendar months. ‘Assuming 35% production in the rainy season (0.5 rainy season ~ 1.5 months) and considering 2 positions for the Crusher Plant, with 2 weeks for dismantling and re- reetion of the Crusher at the new location the total working time for the plarit will be 11.50 months (13 months less 1.50 months of no production (1.5x0.65+0.50)). Considering a theoretical production of 375 thr (average production for buth Base course and asphalt aggregates) with an availability/efficiency factor of 75% ( for rains, equipment failure etc. ) the total production of the Crusher Plant working for 11,50 months ( at 260 hours/month ) will be 375x0.75x1 1.50x200=840,000 tons which is more than the total quantity required for both Base course and Asphalt materials working only one shift of 1hours/day. ‘The wheel loader CAT 966 will be able to load approx. 135m3/hr (theoretical production 180m"/hr x 0.75), approx. 1,350m*/day. oPART Il Modjo ~ Awassa Section A.
