5.0 Protection and critical excavation

Maximum excavation depth for the new fence posts is 1000mm. Excavation will be
done by backhoe/crawler excavator. Hydraulic/Pneumatic hammer will be use to
complete the excavation where excavation is not possible with backhoe/excavator.
During demolition and installation activities, it will make sure that any of the existing

Page 9 of 19

facilities, structure etc., should not be damage. Survey and information will be collected
from the relevant departments.
Excavation activities will be carried in accordance with the requirements specified in
Volume II, Part II Section 1 of the SAUDI ARAMCO CSM and, CSE-116.06
“Excavation and Trenching Safety Standards”.
It will make sure that there are no any buried facilities (i.e. cables, pipe line) under or
nearby excavation area. If there are any such facilities, manual excavation will be done,
by following the excavation procedure.

6.0 Demolition of existing fence

Chain link fence gate

Page 10 of 19
MRB-KACWC
Rev:01

Existing fence need to demolition

1. Demolition will be start at the end of the fence or a corner post, and remove the
clamps holding the tension bar in place by removing the nuts and bolts and sliding the
clamps up and off the post.

2. Remove the tension bar by weaving it out of the chain link.

3. Cut the fence ties along the top rail, allowing the fence to fall flat.

4. Detach the chain link from the rest of the fence.

5. Roll up the newly detached section of chain link, tie it securely, and move it out of
the way.

8. Remove the nut and bolt holding the rail and cap in place.

9. Once the end cap is detached, twist the sections of rail apart at their connecting
points.

10. Once the top rail is gone, remove the posts by digging a hole around the cement
footings, all the way down until it reaches the bottom of the footing.

11. Then position a chain underneath the cement footing and pull it out by using
backhoe loader.

12. Collect and dump the waste material from the site to maintain housekeeping.

7.0 Security & Protection


Before demolishing the existing fence, 15M of temporary fence will be installed to
ensure the security. Temporary fence will only be removed after completion of the new
fence.

Temporary access for pedestrian crossing by scaffolding over trench/excavation will be


done over required area’s to protect workers.
