1 Scope of Work
The objective of this method statement is to discuss the sequence and procedures for fencing
installation works. This work method statement provides information concerning method of
installation to ensure compliance with technical specification.

2 Personnel

 Project Manager – shall be responsible for ensuring that the works comply with quality, HSE, and
other relevant project requirements
 Project Engineer – responsible for supervising the general installation work and liaises with
relevant authorities when required. Directly responsible for ensuring that the works are executed
as per project and authorities’ specifications.
 Safety Officer- Monitors on-site safety issues, site safety induction, implement and ensure the
safety procedures at site.
 Skilled Labour – Performs installation/construction of all works in accordance with approved shop
drawings, specifications, standards, Method Statements with quality workmanship
 Labour – responsible for performing minor manual tasks

3 Plant and Equipment

The machines and equipment will be deployed as required and necessary to meet the project
requirements and schedule.

4 Site Procedures
All necessary approval must be obtained from concern office before starting any construction
activities.

4.1 Third Party Certificates


All equipment and operators must be certified by a recognized 3rd party organizations and the
records such certifications must be available at site for verification.

4.2 External Permits


In accordance with requirements and regulations of the relevant authorities, the Main Contractor,
with the assistance of the Sub-contractor will liaise with the related Stake Holders/ End Users to
obtain the permits individually in case of existing infrastructure or future underground facilities.

6 Method Statement

6.1 Fence Line layout

The site of the fence shall be sufficiently cleared of obstructions, and surface irregularities
shall be graded so that the fence will confirm to the general contour of the ground. The fence
line shall be cleared on each side of the fence centreline. This clearing shall consist of rocks
or other obstructions that will interfere with proper construction of fence. Locate and marked
the fence alignment and elevation including the exact position of the fence post in
accordance with the details on the approved drawing plans.

6.2 Civil Works including Post and Bracing

Prior to excavation use detection device to pinpoint existing underground utilities in the area.
Excavate the location of the fence post for concrete foundation and the alignment of the
fence for the concrete terrain anchorage, refer to Appendix B for the detailed drawing plan
for dimensions and sizes of the concrete foundation and concrete terrain anchorage. All
excavation shall be carried out under strict supervision. Once the excavation activity is
completed the Engineer will inspect and approved the dimension of the excavated area as
per approved drawing plan. All excavated area shall be barricaded to prevent any person
from falling into the site.

The fence pipe post shall be set plumb, true to line and grade in the excavated trench and
shall have necessary support to fix the pipe post in place. Concrete will be poured in the
excavated trench for post footing, the post shall be stabilized until the concrete has cured,
and concrete terrain anchorage along the alignment of the fence. Distance of post shall
according to the approved drawing plans. Concrete works shall be in accordance with BS
1722 and shall comply with provision of Section 5 Concrete of QCS 2014.

Attach winding bracket to the fence post on the level where the top and bottom rail will be
installed. Install the horizontal pipe for top and bottom, truss rod including the necessary
attachments to stabilize the fencing frames. Visually check and verify the height of the post
and other member after the framing members have been installed as per approved drawing.

6.3 Installation of Fabric, Barbed and Razor Wire

a) Roll out chain link and stretched in one continuous length from one post to another post.
b) At the end of the chain link with the same length as the post spacing unbend the end of
the weave straight, do the same at the adjacent side until the chain link with desired
length is separated.
c) At the top of the fence or the bottom, spin the weave in counter clock wise direction as if
to unscrew it from the roll. Continue spinning and you will see the other end unweaving
from its adjacent weaves. Also check that it have bent the far end straight or it will snag
as it will be twisted.
d) After rolling out the chain link hook up one end near of the other post then stretch the
chain link to the opposite side of the post. Pull the chain link by hand or by stretching
tools.

Document Number: Page 5 of 15 02-Oct-17


e) Pull as much stack out as possible before hooking up the chain link in the opposite post.
The fabric is stretched sufficiently when the diamond cannot be squeeze with one hand.
Do not overstretched or post will be damage. The top of the fence should snap back to
the post when pulled out a little.
f) Slide tension bar into the mesh and make the last hook up, once the fabric is secured
and tighten remove the stretching tools.
g) Determine the number of rolls to be use in each section of fencing, place rolls of razor
wire in initial post secure the razor wire roll. Install three parallel barbed wires on each
side of extension arm of the post as shown and indicated on the approved drawing.
h) Pull the barbed wire to remove sag and firmly secure in the slots of extension arms to
prevent movement or displacement. Once the barbed wire were tensioned distribute the
razor wire rolls at a distance indicated in the approved plan throughout the entire length
of fence section.
i) When pulling the razor wire roll along the fence line, assure that the spacing is
consistent and fix by pulling and lifting the material, if found to be loose make necessary
adjustment.

7 Health and Safety


Necessary safety plan, precautions and procedures shall be implemented prior to and during
execution of installation, which includes the following:
1. All personnel must attend project HSE induction prior to start works on site. (No Induction No
work on project site)
2. All staff and workers will wear mandatory PPE i.e. hard hat, safety boots, safety glasses,
gloves and vest.
3. All tools, Equipment must be in good condition and inspected on daily bases before the start
of any activity.
4. Follow site safety rules and regulation.
5. Necessary signs shall be provided.
6. Supervisors should give instruction and exercise supervision to ensure that workers follow
these plans and systems of work.
7. Keep site area clean and clear of obstacles.
8. Waste will be removed off site on regular basis.

8 Quality Assurance

The works shall be managed from start to completion to meet the project requirements and
specifications, project programme of works and project budget as per the quality management
documentations.
Management shall include the supply of all resources necessary for completion, monitoring of the
works as per the project program, and carrying out the works that meets the company and contract
quality requirement.
Monitoring shall be done on a daily basis and a regular progress meeting shall be implemented to
closely identify the status of each part of the works.
In carrying out the works, the management shall ensure progress to be delivered on time against
project program.

Risk Categories Definition and Prioritization


Risk Level Step to Control the Risk
Extreme High (15-250 Don't start work until adequate control measures implemented and the risk reduced to acceptable level, If it's not possible to reduce the risk, all work must cease.
"Intolerable" or "Unacceptable" level of risk that requires immediate actions to eliminate and reduce the risk to at least Medium level, delay work or restrict activities until the
High (8-12)
risk has been reduced to a more acceptable level and Review the risk frequently.
Medium (4-6) Introduce control measures to reduce the Likelihood (probability) and /or the Consequence (Severity) of hazards.
Low (1-3) "Acceptable" or "Trivial" level of risk which requires no further action provided that the control measures are implemented.
