6. PROCEDURE / METHODOLOGY:

RECEIVING OF MATERIAL AND STORAGE AT SITE:

 All delivery materials to the site shall be informed to the EHCO Project Engineer or Construction
Manager to have the plan for unloading. Upon arrival, store keeper and EHCO Engineers shall

 All works are to be carried out in strict accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations and
in the sequence specified by the manufacturer.
 Before starting work ensure that the correct sizes have been supplied, together with the necessary
fixtures and fittings.
 Material shall be stored in a covered, dry space.
 Store material in the original packing.
 All materials received at site shall be inspected and ensured that the materials are as per
approved material submittal and project specification, standard.

PROCEDURE/METHODOLOGY:
This item shall consist of FOR EXOTHERMIC WELDING. In accordance with the specification all the
locations and in accordance with the dimensions, designs, and details shown on the shop
drawings. This item shall include furnishing and installation of all Grounding and bonding and its
connections via Exothermic Welding.

Position the cleaned conductors in the mould after ensuring the mould is dry by pre-heating or
making a test joint. Lock the mould with the handle clamp; if the mould does not close properly
adjust the tension by removing the split pin and turning the eye bolt accordingly. Insert the steel
disc into the mould crucible, ensuring it is centered over the tap hole. Pour the welding powder
into the crucible; the starting powder will be retained in the base of the cartridge and can be
loosened by tapping the cartridge on the ground. Spread the starting powder evenly over the
welding powder, placing a small amount on the top edge of the mould for easy ignition. Close the
cover and ignite the starting powder with the flint gun; pull the gun away immediately to prevent
fouling the flint. Wait a few seconds to allow the metal to solidify before opening the mould.
Remove all slag and dust before making the next weld.

Safety Work:
 Safety team is responsible for Health and Safety (H&S) whilst work progress in site.
 They should also ensure that the H&S of the staff and customers at site is not compromised
During the excavation. Health and Safety signage/barriers shall be used where necessary.
 The provision of a safe access to the work area is the responsibility of the safety team.
 If for any reason the safety supervisor believes that the Health and Safety of the Staffs are being

Compromised in any way, they have the authority to stop work, identify specific reasons to the
Engineer, and report the issues to their safety manager.
 Any Health and Safety risks identified during the works should be highlighted to the safety manager
And the construction manager, so that appropriate remedial action can be taken.
