Remove 6 post sockets from the area. Also remove all foreign cables or potential

obstructions. Shutter off area and fill with approximately 148 tonnes of in fill andapply mesh and concrete with approximately 21.4 cubic meters of concrete. Power

float if necessary.

Method Statement




2. All electrical installation wiring and control boxes are to be removed by a

qualified electrical contractor prior to the operation commencing (Risk Rating

4)

3. Ensure safe traffic routes are designated and clearly identified to ensuresuitable segregation between vehicles delivering the concrete and in-fill and

human visitors to the site (Risk Rating 1)


10/11

4. A 7 tonne tracked machine with attached concrete pecker will be used to allowthe removal of the 6 post sockets. When this equipment is being used it will be

noisy in the surrounding areas so hearing protection must be worn by anyone

in close proximity to the operation. There is also the potential of high velocity

particles being ejected from the work area any one in close proximity should

wear eye protection and all non essential operatives should be moved from the

area.. The equipment can only be operated by trained and authorised members

of PP Contract Services personnel and must be securely isolated at all times

when not in use. (Risk Rating 3)

5. Once the area has been suitably prepared concrete shuttering will be installed

to allow the void to be filled with approximately 148 tonnes of in-fill material.

This material will be deposited as close to the work area as possible and thentransferred to the void using the 7 tonne tracked vehicle. Any delivery vehicle

on site must be strictly controlled and must not be allowed to reverse on site

or deposit all or part of a load unless under the direct supervision of a member

of PP Contract Services personnel who will act as a banks man. Reinforcing

mesh will be put in at various levels throughout the void to ensure a sound

construction f the finished floor area. This will be lifted either manually or by

the 7 tonne tracked vehicle and suitable slings. When the in-fill reaches an

adequate depth it will be rolled using a 1.25 H/D roller. If this is the case the

petrol oil fuel will be stored in an area away from the main operation. The use

of the roller or striker will ensure that there are no unseen weaknesses or

voiClients in the finished concreted area. A striker plate may be used instead

of the roller which again has the potential to operate at a high noise level all

operatives will wear suitable personal protective equipment. (Risk Rating 3)

6. Once the void has been filed and adequately prepared approximately 21.4

cubic meters of liquid concrete will be used to completely fill the void. When

this has been done a hydraulic poker will be used to vibrate any air pockets

within the concrete to the surface ensuring a good quality construction and

finish to the new floor area. The area will be fenced off to prevent access at all

times during the curing period. (Risk Rating 1)

7. Following a minimum 10 day curing period the shuttering will be removed

using the 7 tonne tracked vehicle and manual handling with any defectsidentified in the new flooring area dressed and made good. . (Risk Rating 1)
