    Introduction: This method statement outlines the procedures and steps to be

    followed for executing the foundation works of bridges. The foundation works
    are crucial for ensuring the stability and longevity of the bridge structure.

    2. Scope: The scope of this method statement covers the following activities:

     Site preparation
     Excavation
     Foundation construction
     Installation of reinforcements
     Pouring of concrete
     Quality control and assurance

    3. Equipment and Materials:

     Excavators
     Bulldozers
     Dump trucks
     Concrete mixers
     Vibrators
     Reinforcement bars
     Concrete
     Surveying equipment
     Safety gear (helmets, gloves, boots, etc.)

    4. Procedure:

    4.1 Site Preparation:

     Clear the site of any debris or obstacles.


     Mark out the boundaries and positions of the bridge foundations as per the
    engineering drawings.

    4.2 Excavation:
     Excavate the foundation pits to the required depth and dimensions as per the
    design specifications.
     Ensure the excavation walls are stable and properly sloped to prevent
    collapses.

    4.3 Foundation Construction:

     Place a layer of blinding concrete at the bottom of the foundation pit.


     Construct the foundation base using reinforced concrete, following the
    approved design.
     Ensure proper compaction and leveling of the foundation base.

    4.4 Installation of Reinforcements:

     Place reinforcement bars (rebars) in the foundation structure as per the


    engineering drawings and specifications.
     Ensure proper spacing, alignment, and anchorage of rebars.

    4.5 Pouring of Concrete:

     Prepare the concrete mix as per the approved mix design.


     Pour the concrete into the foundation structure in layers, ensuring proper
    compaction using vibrators.
     Monitor the concrete pouring process to prevent segregation and ensure
    uniform distribution.

    4.6 Quality Control and Assurance:

     Conduct regular inspections and tests of materials, equipment, and


    workmanship.
     Ensure compliance with relevant codes, standards, and specifications.
     Keep detailed records of all activities, tests, and inspections conducted.

    5. Health and Safety:

     All personnel must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) at


    all times.
     Implement safety measures to prevent accidents and injuries.
     Provide adequate training and supervision to workers involved in the
    foundation works.

    6. Environmental Considerations:

     Minimize environmental impact by implementing proper waste management


    and erosion control measures.
     Adhere to regulations and guidelines related to environmental protection.

    7. Conclusion: This method statement provides a systematic approach to


    executing the foundation works of bridges. Adherence to this method
    statement will ensure the safety, quality, and efficiency of the construction
    process. Any deviations from this method statement must be approved by the
    relevant authorities or project management team.
