SCOPE OF WORKS
Replacement of Culvert
Note: This Method Statement has been prepared as a hypothetical worst case method
statement based upon the potential requirement to replace, repair or rehabilitate the culvert at
a undefined future date. It provides a detailed system of work based upon information
provided.
This method statement includes this document, risk assessments, staged progress plans as
well as a programme of works.
A full construction phase health and safety plan would be prepared should any actual work be
required. If required, work would be subject to CDM Notification. Environment Agency, Harrow
Council Drainage Department and Sewerage Undertaker Drainage Department Environment
Permits will be required.
The existing culvert is understood to be of good structural condition and not likely to be
subject to a future daylighting requirement imposed by either the Environment Agency, local
drainage undertaker or North Harrow Community Centre.
The method statement is based upon the worst case requirement to undertake complete
replacement works. A No Dig Cured In Place Pipelining (CIPP) technique would be advocated
for any rehabilitation at structural condition grade 4 and in some circumstances grade 5.
A CCTV or man entry inspection would be required to determine the necessary replacement
technique in line with the WRC Sewerage Rehabilitation Manual.

Deliverables
Programme of Works
The Gantt Chart attached is the result of a critical path analysis
carried out on logically linked project activities contained within
Primavera P6 Project Management database.
The programme has been developed with the aim to schedule all
major activities required to take the project from award to a
successful handback. This has necessitated the need to review
each element of work with respect to interfaces, availability of
resources, buildability, as well as documentation requirements.
As such, any deviations from the construction strategy will need
to be considered separately to mitigate any adverse impact on
the programme. During the development of the programme a
number of key items were considered
•
•
1.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Access requirements and impact on programme
Weather conditions – these works have been planned for
winter months with peak flows in Yeading Brook
Landtake and existing topography
Road infrastructure and neighbouring properties
The need to install sheet piles adjacent to the culvert along
the boundary line with the existing neighbouring property
Interface Requirements between the various subcontractors
Interface requirements between Harrow Council, EA and the
statutory authorities
Sequencing / Availability of the services
The need for programme certainty in order to achieve
realistic milestones for works carried out in a safe manner
Programme of
Works.
Progress charts
As-built chart
We have concentrated on the critical requirements rather than
the details within each work element but have made an
assessment of the possible construction issues and the
complexities involved.
This sequence will be refined at the time of construction works
and site surveys prior to the final submissions to Harrow Council
and the EA

Procurement
The first action by the PM will be to notify the Statutory
Authorities, giving a period of 10 week notification lead-in time.
The Culvert Replacement Contractor will be appointed based on
preliminary drawings and a negotiated tender process.
6.
The M&E Contractor will also be appointed based on a brief and
negotiated tender process. M&E service drawings will be
produced by the contractor for any diversions and for the
removal and replacement of the storm and foul water drainage
that are present in the 3m culvert exclusion zone.
The Sheet Piling Contractor will be appointed based on
Schedule of Rates and a performance specification. This will be
done in conjunction with the neighbouring property owner and
with the permission of Harrow Council.
Once the design and permits have been received by all third
parties, the orders will be placed for the precast concrete
culverts, the M&E supplies and consumables as well as the
sheet piles. All these items will be in ready availability and off the
shelf items, and will not have long lead-in periods.

•
•
Keeping to the specified line and gradient, the trench should
be excavated to a width equal to the box culvert width plus
300 mm at top of excavation / top of embankment.
Follow the normal requirements for safety when working in
trenches.
Full load bearing capacity of an installed box culvert line is
achieved with uniform support at the base.
Carefully trim the formation to the required depth and
gradient making allowance for the thickness of the bedding.
Excavate local hard or soft areas of the trench bottom which
may cause uneven settlement and replace with well
compacted backfill selected to give uniform support.
Maintain a dry formation so far as possible by diverting water
courses, pumping water from the trench or other means.
Lay well compacted selected granular material over the full
width of the trench to a minimum depth of 200mm having first
removed any protective layer.
Blind the surface with fine material to assist levelling. Having
achieved a flat, well prepared base, it should not be allowed
to deteriorate.
Lay the bedding only a minimum distance ahead of the laying
of box culverts. Keep off the prepared base so far as
practicable.

The strip should be applied to the box culvert just before it is
laid in the trench. The inner and loping faces of both the
spigot and the socket will be cleaned and primed
Place the strip in the internal corner of the socket
Cut mitred ends and join the strip at corners
All joints will be checked to ensure that the strip is
continuous.
Joints will be closed by pulling against the box culverts
previously laid. Anchoring the cables firmly at each end, take
on the crane the weight of the box culvert being jointed to
reduce frictional resistance at the base of the box culverts.
Allow for a load of approximately one tonnes per metre of
strip to compress the strip.
Apply heat, as recommended, to soften bitumen based strip
when the weather is very cold.
Close the joint with cable pullers to the specified nominal
gap.
On completion, make good any holes used for lifting and
laying.
Joints in box culverts of will be pointed internally to increase
hydraulic flows in the culvert. This can take the form of an
elastometric or bitumen based sealant

Lifting is usually the only practicable method. The safest method of lifting shall be used.
1.
As roles require: Appointed Person for Lifting Operations; Lifting Equipment / Crane Operators License (including
Manufacturers License where required); Slinger / Load Handler; Signaller; Banksman.
1.
None specific – persons operating lifting equipment shall be medically fit and have good hearing and sight (corrected as
required).
Planning /
Preparation
1. Lifting equipment will be suitable for the task and used, serviced and maintained in compliance with manufacturers
recommendations and legislative requirements. Thorough Examination Certificates (6 monthly, 12 monthly or in line with a
written scheme of examination) must be in date and made available for inspections. Equipment will be properly stored to
prevent deterioration or damage. Lifting machinery and accessories shall be marked with the safe working load. Lifting
equipment designed to lift persons will be marked as such, equipment specifically NOT designed for people lifting will be
marked as such.
2. The lift will be planned and supervised by trained competent persons. Planning should consider the load to be lifted (weight,
shape, centre of gravity, lifting points), path (radius of lift, overhead clearance), environment (ground conditions, traffic
management, High Voltage Overhead Power Lines [See RAG.025]), positioning of the crane, lifting equipment required and
personnel required.
3. Where appropriate, information on weight, centre of gravity and slinging arrangements of the load shall be obtained.
Operational
Control
1. Equipment will be inspected prior to use and safety defects reported immediately. Equipment will not be used where safety
defects are present. Inspections shall be recorded.
2. Access and egress to the lifting equipment controls (e.g. crane cab or MEWP cage) must be via a safe means, and if the
equipment is for lifting persons, adequate protection from slips, trips and falls must be installed and used.
3. The area of the arc of operations will be clear of all persons. No person shall enter the crane operating area without
permission. Loads are not to be swung over site huts, buildings, public areas or other areas where persons may be present
unless persons have been excluded from those areas. If the above is not practicable, then other measures may be applied.
4. Lifting equipment should be positioned to prevent crushing or strikes at it’s extreme positions.
5. Sufficient trained competent Slinger / Signaller to be available to sling and control load, especially when the driver’s vision of
the load is obstructed. Telephone/radio communication or a system of agreed hand or other signals must be used between
the crane operator and the Slinger / Signaller.
6. Guide ropes shall be used on large loads to guide and steady lift.
7. The table of Safe Working Loads for various radii to be clearly visible to the driver.
8. “Practice” lifts undertaken when required to gauge the weight, centre of gravity and suitability of slinging arrangements.
9. Where there is a significant risk of overturning / overloading, devices such as rated capacity indicators or limiters used.
Prohibitions /
Restrictions
1. The raising and lowering of people by work equipment which is not specifically designed for the purpose should only be
undertaken in exceptional circumstances, when it is not practicable to gain access by less hazardous means.
2. If wind conditions are such that small branches are moving or paper is blowing around check the wind speed using the
anemometer, and stop work if it exceeds the limit of the equipment.
3. Equipment will not be used where safety defects are present.
4. Persons under 18 years old must not use lifting equipment unless deemed competent by an authorised person.

1. For planned works prior consent shall always be sought:
Where discharging directly to a watercourse prior application shall be made to the Environment Agency (or other
relevant Land Drainage Authority) for Discharge Consent.
Any work within 8 metres of a watercourses then prior Consent for Works Affecting Watercourses (“Land Drainage
Consent”) shall be applied for from the Environment Agency.
For dredging involving the proposed disposal. A Exemption to Environment Permits to spread waste dredgings to
riverbank or agricultural land may be applied for. This will consider contamination and flood risk. Allow 20 days for
application.
Where Over / Cross pumping or for any discharge to a foul / combined sewer then a Discharge to Foul Sewer Consent
may be required from the local sewerage undertaker.
For discharge of potable water from mains or other water facility including service reservoirs, borehole testing etc
consent is required if the discharge is via a pipe greater than 229mm in diameter. If it is less than 229mm diameter
consent is not needed but significant discharges will be issued with a duty of care letter.
2. For emergency response work then the Relevant Statutory Body (Environment Agency or Sewerage Undertaker) shall be
notified as soon as practicably possible.
Operational
Control
1. Water should preferably be retained in the same drainage system.
2. Abstracted waters must be free of silt, visible oil and unnatural colour or odour. The clarity of the water must first be checked
by carefully taking a surface sample in a transparent container. The operator should minimise the disturbance of the water in
the duty or chamber as this may stir up any settled silt. See RAG.018.4 Excavation – Dewatering. If oil, odour, colour or silt is
present and cannot practicably be removed then it shall be transferred to a licensed waste disposal site or treatment facility
[RAG.049].
3. Care will be taken with the discharge of any pumped water to the watercourse. Pumped discharges will be made using a
pump of suitable size for the situation and at a rate which will not cause riverbed disturbance. The discharge pipe to be
frequently moved to prevent erosion of bank or bed, or settlement of solids.
4. Where operating in a combined system near to a sewer overflow, prior consideration should be taken of the volume of water
required to cause operation of the overflow, and restrictions implemented to prevent a discharge to surface waters.
5. Consideration should be given to if the stretch is being used for stormwater retention, where overpumping may bypass this.
6. If dredging / clearing watercourses care must be taken. Incorrectly disposed silt can lead to contamination of water or land.
Disturbance of the silt can mobilise oil and diesel contamination. Dredging activities can also uncover bulky wastes such as
bicycles, shopping trolleys, beds, fencing etc. See RAG.049 Waste.
7. Sewage Contamination Issues
Wash back to sewer any waters around manhole head.
Where airborne transfer is an issue, for instance, near a school, hospital, public park or other sensitive areas dampen
area above manhole. Do not use disinfectants unless authorised to do so.
If any wastes are to be removed, see RAG.015 Drainage Cleaning and Tankering.

None specific – persons operating lifting equipment shall be medically fit and have good hearing and sight (corrected as
required).
Planning /
Preparation
1. Lifting equipment will be suitable for the task and used, serviced and maintained in compliance with manufacturers
recommendations and legislative requirements. Thorough Examination Certificates (6 monthly, 12 monthly or in line with a
written scheme of examination) must be in date and made available for inspections. Equipment will be properly stored to
prevent deterioration or damage. Lifting machinery and accessories shall be marked with the safe working load. Lifting
equipment designed to lift persons will be marked as such, equipment specifically NOT designed for people lifting will be
marked as such.
2. The lift will be planned and supervised by trained competent persons. Planning should consider the load to be lifted (weight,
shape, centre of gravity, lifting points), path (radius of lift, overhead clearance), environment (ground conditions, traffic
management, High Voltage Overhead Power Lines [See RAG.025]), positioning of the crane, lifting equipment required and
personnel required.
3. Where appropriate, information on weight, centre of gravity and slinging arrangements of the load shall be obtained.
Operational
Control
1. Equipment will be inspected prior to use and safety defects reported immediately. Equipment will not be used where safety
defects are present. Inspections shall be recorded.
2. Access and egress to the lifting equipment controls (e.g. crane cab or MEWP cage) must be via a safe means, and if the
equipment is for lifting persons, adequate protection from slips, trips and falls must be installed and used.
3. The area of the arc of operations will be clear of all persons. No person shall enter the crane operating area without
permission. Loads are not to be swung over site huts, buildings, public areas or other areas where persons may be present
unless persons have been excluded from those areas. If the above is not practicable, then other measures may be applied.
4. Lifting equipment should be positioned to prevent crushing or strikes at it’s extreme positions.
5. Sufficient trained competent Slinger / Signaller to be available to sling and control load, especially when the driver’s vision of
the load is obstructed. Telephone/radio communication or a system of agreed hand or other signals must be used between
the crane operator and the Slinger / Signaller.
6. Guide ropes shall be used on large loads to guide and steady lift.
7. The table of Safe Working Loads for various radii to be clearly visible to the driver.
8. “Practice” lifts undertaken when required to gauge the weight, centre of gravity and suitability of slinging arrangements.
9. Where there is a significant risk of overturning / overloading, devices such as rated capacity indicators or limiters used.
Prohibitions /
Restrictions
1. The raising and lowering of people by work equipment which is not specifically designed for the purpose should only be
undertaken in exceptional circumstances, when it is not practicable to gain access by less hazardous means.
2. If wind conditions are such that small branches are moving or paper is blowing around check the wind speed using the
anemometer, and stop work if it exceeds the limit of the equipment.
3. Equipment will not be used where safety defects are present.

1. For planned works prior consent shall always be sought:
Where discharging directly to a watercourse prior application shall be made to the Environment Agency (or other
relevant Land Drainage Authority) for Discharge Consent.
Any work within 8 metres of a watercourses then prior Consent for Works Affecting Watercourses (“Land Drainage
Consent”) shall be applied for from the Environment Agency.
For dredging involving the proposed disposal. A Exemption to Environment Permits to spread waste dredgings to
riverbank or agricultural land may be applied for. This will consider contamination and flood risk. Allow 20 days for
application.
Where Over / Cross pumping or for any discharge to a foul / combined sewer then a Discharge to Foul Sewer Consent
may be required from the local sewerage undertaker.
For discharge of potable water from mains or other water facility including service reservoirs, borehole testing etc
consent is required if the discharge is via a pipe greater than 229mm in diameter. If it is less than 229mm diameter
consent is not needed but significant discharges will be issued with a duty of care letter.
2. For emergency response work then the Relevant Statutory Body (Environment Agency or Sewerage Undertaker) shall be
notified as soon as practicably possible.
Operational
Control
1. Water should preferably be retained in the same drainage system.
2. Abstracted waters must be free of silt, visible oil and unnatural colour or odour. The clarity of the water must first be checked
by carefully taking a surface sample in a transparent container. The operator should minimise the disturbance of the water in
the duty or chamber as this may stir up any settled silt. See RAG.018.4 Excavation – Dewatering. If oil, odour, colour or silt is
present and cannot practicably be removed then it shall be transferred to a licensed waste disposal site or treatment facility
[RAG.049].
3. Care will be taken with the discharge of any pumped water to the watercourse. Pumped discharges will be made using a
pump of suitable size for the situation and at a rate which will not cause riverbed disturbance. The discharge pipe to be
frequently moved to prevent erosion of bank or bed, or settlement of solids.
4. Where operating in a combined system near to a sewer overflow, prior consideration should be taken of the volume of water
required to cause operation of the overflow, and restrictions implemented to prevent a discharge to surface waters.
5. Consideration should be given to if the stretch is being used for stormwater retention, where overpumping may bypass this.
6. If dredging / clearing watercourses care must be taken. Incorrectly disposed silt can lead to contamination of water or land.
Disturbance of the silt can mobilise oil and diesel contamination. Dredging activities can also uncover bulky wastes such as
bicycles, shopping trolleys, beds, fencing etc. See RAG.049 Waste.
7. Sewage Contamination Issues
Wash back to sewer any waters around manhole head.
Where airborne transfer is an issue, for instance, near a school, hospital, public park or other sensitive areas dampen
area above manhole. Do not use disinfectants unless authorised to do so.
If any wastes are to be removed, see RAG.015 Drainage Cleaning and Tankering.
