1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In June 2020, Masdar signed an agreement with the Ministry of Investments and Foreign Trade of the
Republic of Uzbekistan and JSC National Electric Grid of Uzbekistan to design, finance, build and operate a
500-megawatt (MW) utility-scale wind farm project (the project).

The project will be developed by Shamol Zarafshan Energy FE LLC (the Company), a special purpose
company incorporated in Uzbekistan, wholly owned by Masdar.

The project is located to the east of Zarafshan City, in the Tamdy District of the Navoi
Region, Uzbekistan. The project will include 111 wind turbine generators (WTGs) proposed with an
anticipated capacity of 4.5 MW resulting in a site capacity of up to 500 MW.
With a capacity of 500 MW, the project will provide enough electricity to power 500,000 homes. Once
completed, the wind farm will displace 1.1 million tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Construction activities of the project are targeted for December will commence in July 2022 with SEPCO III
appointed by the Company as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contractor on the
Project.

2. OBJECTIVE

This document is a project specific traffic and transportation management plan to be implemented by the
EPC Contractor. This document is considered part of the ESMS that will be implemented during the
construction phase of the project. The objective and scope of this plan includes the following:

 Identify project related traffic requirements to include but not limited to delivery of materials,
equipment, machinery, transportation of workers and other

 Identification of onsite and offsite traffic management and procedural requirements to ensure a safe
environment for all road users, protection of activities, workers, visitors and the general public from
traffic and transportation hazards

 Identify training requirements related to the plan

 Identify monitoring and reporting requirements related to the plan

 Identify roles and responsibilities related to the plan

This document is considered a live document that will be regularly updated to accommodate changing
circumstances.

3. PROJECT TRAFFIC REQUIREMENTS

This section provides a summary of the Project related traffic activities that will be undertaken during the
construction of the project. This includes the transportation of material, transportation of project workers,
service works, and other visitors, each of which is discussed in further details below.

3.1 Delivery of Materials, Equipment and Machinery

The main traffic requirements for delivery of materials, equipment and machinery will include the wind
turbines, electrical infrastructure, site machinery, and construction material. Such transportation
requirements will rely on national road networks from the port and other locations where materials will be
sourced.

All haulage requirements for delivery of materials, equipment and machinery will be contracted to a third
party by the EPC Contractor. A summary of the transportation requirements of each is provided below.

EPC Contractor will provide the Company with the finalized delivery timetable for approval and notify them
of any material changes to the timetable with proper notice in advance.

3.1.1 Turbines

Wind turbine components have large dimensions and weights, and their transport often poses a challenge
to the existing roads and infrastructure. The heaviest component is the nacelle (approximately 46.1 tons),
while the highest component will be the bottom tower section (and which is approximately 5m). In
addition, the blades will be approximately 76.293m long.

Given the increasing size, weight, and length of components of the wind turbines, proper transportation
and logistical solutions is required for managing the heavy-load long-haul requirements.

The turbines will be delivered from Baiyin city to the project site. A route survey shall be being undertaken
and upon completion will be appended to this plan.

The route survey / transportation plan should: (i) clearly identify sensitive social and environmental
receptors along the main transport route; (ii) undertake consultations with local authorities and
communities (in areas where significant risks occurs); and (iii) identify risks posed to road users and
communities related to construction traffic, abnormal loads and provide for implementation of adequate
mitigation measures (including any road upgrade work required).

3.1.2 Electrical Infrastructure

The figure below presents a histogram for the transportation requirements for the electrical infrastructure
per month. This includes equipment such as inverters, transformers, and cables and other as applicable.

8.6 REF 13 – PRC 1: Instructions for Banksmen and Flaggers

a. Banksman or Signaler

A banksman or a signaler is the individual in charge of crane operations within a site. Because cranes may
not always have great visibility of the loading area, the banksman comes in handy in the management of
such activities. The banksman is also known as the reversing assistant in many civil engineering circles.

 The banksman is in charge of helping manage traffic flow, movement and direction of site vehicles.

 He assists and guides the crane drivers in their duties of reversing and unloading. As there is a lot of
movement on the site, the banksman is an essential part of the smooth flow of operations.

 He is often needed in helping to load and unload vehicles or cranes, and the direction of the movement
of other plant machines. At times there may be excess goods which the loaders can't effectively handle
without additional assistance.

 Since the banksman directs the flow of traffic he needs to ascertain that the loading area is clear of any
obstructions. He will need to constantly monitor the bucket and surrounding loading areas for any
underground services.

 The banksman faces the danger of a reversing vehicle not seeing him; therefore, there must be a safe
system of work to ascertain the banksman's safety especially as they monitor the bucket and loading
areas.

Banksmen shall be appointed to ensure clear and precise commands are given to all machine
operators/drivers. Banks men shall be readily identifiable to all concerned in the operations (by wearing a
different colored helmet and high visibility vest to other operatives).

Banksman uses his hands to convey instructions to the plant’s operator as illustrated below:

Page | 39
b. Flagger

Flaggers are workers on construction sites who control traffic. They are along roads and cross ways and
help keep traffic flowing through a construction zone, despite a shutdown of lanes. Flaggers often work in
teams, with each person controlling the flow of traffic in a certain direction.

Flaggers need to stand on their feet for long periods of time and understand how to control traffic to the
best of their ability. Flaggers may put out traffic cones and use signs and hand signals to communicate with
motorists. Flaggers need to be confident enough to stand in front of cars, sometimes in blazing heat,
sometimes in the middle of the night, to make sure that traffic is no more snarled than it has to be.

A red flag shall only be used to control traffic in an intersection where the flagger is positioned within the
intersection or in emergency situations when Stop/Slow paddle is not available. The following signals apply
by flaggers.
