SAPMT has reviewed the subject submittal dated October 26, 2013 and has the following comments:

1.	Although the method statement covers a lot of Safety Requirements a Safe Work Procedure together with a Baseline Risk Assessment is required.
2.	Due to the height of the form work a work at heights procedure is required particularly during assembly, disassembly and concrete pouring.
3.	Excavation will be required in some sections therefore excavation work should be addressed together with required Safety Procedures, Permits, Method Statements and Risk Assessments.
4.	To ensure that no consolidation or honey combing of concrete occurs, provide a method as to how pouring of concrete shall be done, how shall the vibrators used and how the lifts be managed in stages horizontally or vertically.
5.	What is proposed to avoid seepage of slurry from the underside of forms?
