4. PROCEDURES / EXECUTION 4.1 Preparatory Works 4.1.1

Project Management to ensure lifting and installation of precast concrete girders is coordinated with Al-Raji Construction and client (if applicable) and other involved departments and personnel.

4.1.2

Area for installation work shall be ready and clear from disturbances. Ground shall be ascertained to be capable of supporting the weight of the crane and load. If necessary ground compaction and/ or shoring of the excavation walls shall be done. Construction team to ensure ground compaction.

4.1.3

Access, passage way, materials, tools and equipments required shall be prepared in advance to ensure continuity of work.

4.1.4

Work permit if any is required for the lifting and installation work must be ready and available at the site.

4.1.5

Direct work supervisor/Construction Manager shall be present on the lift area.

4.2 Lifting and Transfer of Precast Concrete Girders. a.

Crane operation shall be prepared and finalized by the certified Rigger 1 and in close coordination with the Crane Operator and direct work supervisor/Construction Manager.

b.

All materials, equipments and personnel must be ready at the site before lifting operation starts. Crane positioned at the pre-determined location (see drawing), inspected and check- list completed, leveled and barricaded. Wire ropes, shackles, taglines, ladders accounted and inspected, lifting and rigging crew briefed on the procedure and sequence and wearing proper PPEs. Supervisors, engineers and other involved personnel must be present.

c.

Lifting wire ropes shall be rigged on the precast concrete girders on the specified rigging points on a two-leg double bridle hitch. Tag line shall be tied to each end of the girder to guide load while being suspended and shifted to its location.

d.

Direct work supervisor shall ensure that lifting procedure is according to the approved method statement and precast concrete girders are installed according to the plan (See attached Plan and Drawings).

e.

At the direction of the Rigger manning the operation, precast concrete girders will be lifted above ground, no more than 50 cm and will be suspended for at least 2 minutes. Crane operator shall ascertain that load weight is as stated on the plan, crane mechanical condition, hoist brakes and sling capacity is according to plan. Rigging crew and direct work supervisor shall check crane, load and rigging hardware for any manifestation of fault or failure.

f.

If all conditions are fit for lift, crane will swing precast concrete girders to the desired pre-installation location. Load will be kept to as low as possible, in no way will any worker be allowed to work or go under a suspended load. Once the desired location is ascertained, precast concrete girder will be lowered to support pads.

g.

Crane radius shall be kept to as low as stated on the lift plan. In no way shall the crane operate beyond the stated lift radius. Crane shall position, reposition if needed to keep the lift radius within the approved plan.

h.

Crane will continue lift-and-transfer process to complete two girders for installation/ erection.

4.3 Lifting and Installation/ Erection of Precast Concrete Girders. a.

After completion of the transfer, crane will be positioned in the location as stated in the lift plan (see lift plan for INSTALLATION/ ERECTION OF GIRDERS). Ground compaction shall be ensured in the

area by the construction team, load weight and weight of crane must be considered in the ground compaction. b.

Lifting wire ropes shall be rigged on the precast concrete girders on the specified rigging points on a two-leg double bridle hitch. Tag line shall be tied to each end of the girder to guide load while being suspended and maneuvered to its columns.

c.

At the direction of the Rigger manning the operation, precast concrete girders will be lifted above ground, no more than 50 cm and will be suspended for at least 2 minutes. Crane operator shall ascertain that load weight is as stated on the plan, crane mechanical condition, hoist brakes and sling capacity is according to plan and ground condition is fit for a lift. Rigging crew and direct work supervisor shall check crane, ground, load and rigging hardware for any manifestation of fault or failure.

d.

If all conditions are fit for lift, crane will lift precast concrete girder to the desired height and swing load to installation location. Load will be kept to as low as possible, in no way will any worker be allowed to work or go under a suspended load. Once the desired location is ascertained, precast concrete girder will be lowered to its bearing pads.

e.

Crane shall reposition to lift and install/ erect remaining girder.

A total of 80 precast concrete girders will be lifted, transferred and installed/ erected for the project. Crane lifting operation shall be a continuous activity during the duration of the project. This lift plan shall cover the precast concrete girder lifting operations within the duration of the project. Lifting operation for the precast girders is considered as BLANKET LIFT (Multiple lift), where crane lifts are identical, yet performed on different dates and with minor lifting changes that in no way shall have effect on the lift plan configuration. (see drawings and critical lift plan) Note: Lift plan attached is based on the highest point of pier columns. Radius shall not be altered and shall be kept at equal to or less than nine (9) meters. 4.4 Responsibilities a.
