APPENDIX 1.05 PREVENTION OF STAGNANT WATER AND MOSQUITO BREEDING ON CONSTRUCTION SITE

Mosquito is a vector of Dengue Fever, the Contractor shall implement effective measures to prevent accumulation of stagnant water within the Site to eliminate breeding of mosquitoes. The Contractors attention is particularly drawn to GS for Civil Engineering Works Clause 1.33 to effectively implement measures to fulfil the requirements therein on the control of mosquitoes and removal of stagnant water. The Contractor shall identify the potential stagnant water areas on the Site, and to cooperate with the site supervisory staff who may point out from time to time locations on the Site which may become potential mosquito breeding grounds, and to take prompt rectification action on such notification. But in any case, the Contractor shall, as part of the contractual obligations, provide personnel to inspect the Site and take appropriate action to ensure no mosquitoes can breed. The following can serve as some guidelines, which are by no means exhaustive, to help eliminate mosquito infestation on construction sites: (a) A checklist on the possible breeding places for mosquitoes and action list should be prepared for site inspections. Inspection should be done every week. The Contractor shall assign one of your staff as the coordinator for implementation of the measures and for liaison with staff of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, if necessary. Disused tyres should be kept in a covered area or removed from sites. Tyres with other usage in open areas should be punctured with big holes to prevent trapping of water. Water at uneven floors should be swept away at least weekly. Water in pits should be pumped off a least weekly. Rubbish especially empty lunch boxes and soft drink cans should be kept in disposable plastic bags or in a covered refuse pins. Cover tightly all water containers, water storage tanks and wells. Keep all drains free from chokage. Top up all defective ground surfaces to prevent accumulation of stagnant water.

(b)

(c) (d) (e)

(f) (g) (h)

The contractor is required to include the above checking for mosquito control and potential stagnant water areas into the checklist for weekly safety walks, and take prompt rectification action thereof. A standard agenda item on effective control of mosquitoes and removal of stagnant water shall be included in all Site Safety Management Committee Meetings and Site Safety Committee Meetings. Departmental Safety Advisor would conduct checks of the sites on the effectiveness of mosquito control measures and identify potential stagnant water areas during the site inspections prior to the Site Safety
PS-APP1.05/1

Management Committee Meetings. The Contractors effort on mosquito control will also be reviewed in the meeting. The Contractor shall encourage his site staff and workers through the Site Safety Committee Meetings to report stagnant water and mosquito finding areas for effective combat of mosquitoes. The Contractor shall develop and provide toolbox talk kit to raise the awareness of dengue fever and mosquito control on the Site. FEHDs website or other websites contained topics related to the subject in preparing the training materials for the approval of the Engineers Representative. The Contractor is required to record the number of toolbox talks given on mosquito control and the number of persons attending such talks on the Site, and to record the number of activities and/or inspections specifically for mosquito control (weekly safety walk not counted). Consideration should be given to clear stagnant water areas as far as possible. Spraying of pesticide or larvicidal oil to kill adult mosquitoes and to prevent breeding respectively should only be employed as the last resort where the removal of stagnant water would be impossible or the draining cannot be done effectively. The Contractor is required to post up at appropriate locations on the Site posters for anti-mosquitoes. Such posters or educational pamphlets about mosquito control and dengue fever can be obtained from District Environmental Hygiene Offices (Tel: 2868 000) or Communication Resource Unit (Tel: 2319 8531) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department at 2/F, Public Health Laboratory Centre, 382 Nam Cheong Street, Shek Kip Mei, Kowloon.

General

The Contractor shall register with EPD as a chemical waste producer. The Contractor shall engage a licensed waste collector for handling and disposal of asbestos waste.

Works Involving the Breakage of Asbestos Cement (AC) Pipes

Instead of serving a 28-day Notification of Commencement of Asbestos Works, the Contractor shall submit a Notification of Commencement of Asbestos Works for one year of works based upon the master works programme, together with a completed asbestos works programme based upon the WSD record drawings. The Contractor shall engage a registered asbestos contractor for the asbestos abatement works. Prior to the commencement of each section of asbestos abatement work, a clear 7-day notification, together with record photos and an updated programme, shall be submitted to EPD. The Contractor shall also state in his notification, the reasons for not taking a bulk sample prior to the asbestos abatement works and treat the material as Type 3 asbestos waste during packaging, labeling and handling of the asbestos waste. The Contractor shall submit a notification under Section 17 of the Waste Disposal Ordinance for Part A Chemical Wastes to EPD, in order to obtain directions for disposal of the Type 3 waste. Normally, EPD will issue the directions within 10 days after receiving the notification and the directions will have a validity period of one month. After obtaining the specific instructions and directions, the Contractor shall book with the operator of the designated landfill to arrange disposal of the asbestos waste. The Contractor must therefore submit the notification to EPD at least two weeks before the date of the AC pipe disposal works to ensure that the proper procedures are followed. The asbestos abatement works shall be carried out by the registered asbestos contractor. The packaging, handling and disposal of the asbestos waste shall follow the Type 3 waste requirements. After it is produced, the asbestos waste shall be immediately delivered to the designated landfill for disposal by the licensed waste collector. A trip ticket system must be adopted for disposal of the asbestos waste from its point of arising to its final place of disposal.

Works Involving Normal Disconnection of AC Pipes through Dismantling of Joints

The Contractor shall submit a notification under Section 17 for Part A Chemical Wastes to EPD to obtain specific instructions and directions for disposal of the Type 1 waste. Normally, EPD will issue the specific instructions and directions within 10 days after receiving the notification. After obtaining the specific instructions and directions, the Contractor shall book with the operator of the designated landfill to arrange disposal of the asbestos waste. The Contractor must therefore submit the notification to EPD at least two weeks before the date of the AC pipe disposal works to ensure that the proper procedures are followed.

PS-APP1.25/1

The packaging, handling and disposal of the asbestos waste shall follow the Type 1 waste requirements and the asbestos waste, after it is produced, shall be immediately delivered to the designated landfill for disposal by the licensed waste collector. A trip ticket system must be adopted for disposal of the asbestos waste from its point of arising to its final place of disposal.

Abandonment of AC Water Mains

For existing water mains of sizes less than 300mm in diameter, the pipe ends and tees shall be capped. For existing water mains of sizes of 300mm in diameter or above, the pipes shall be grouted with foam concrete, as far as practicable in a case by case basis, prior to capping of the pipe ends and tees.

APPENDIX 22.26
CLEANING AND STERILISATION OF EXISTING WATER MAINS (A) Cleaning and Sterilisation of Repaired Fresh Water Mains or Fresh Water Mains for Making Connections Every repaired main and every main into which an opening has been made for any cause whatsoever shall be cleaned and sterilised before putting back into operation. The procedures of cleaning and sterilising the section of mains after repair or connection (concerned section) shall comply with the following as far as practicable:(1) After isolation of the mains on sloping ground, all tee branch valves downstream of the concerned section of the mains shall be turned off where practicable. This is to prevent contaminated water from inadvertently entering the water mains through the opening and finding its way by gravity into the consumers inside services. Before the concerned section of the pipe is replaced, all extraneous material must be removed with the excavation surfaces kept clear from the pipe body and flooding water pumped out. To minimize the ingress of foreign matters into the mains, the concerned section shall be isolated by sandbags and the like immediately after the ponding water is pumped away. After the water supply has been isolated and the site is under control, a small flow of water from the upstream end of the concerned section shall be maintained for a while (especially for small size main bursts) in order to wash out the foreign matters in the section of mains upstream. In this respect, a temporary sump a bit deeper than the pipe invert shall be excavated at the concerned location to collect the muddy water flowing out from the pipe for pumping to the nearby surface drainage system after passing through a filtering/sedimentation system. The internal surface of exposed pipe ends and the piece of pipe to replace the concerned section shall be cleaned with cloth and a solution of chloride of lime with concentration of free chlorine of at least 30 p.p.m. Chloride of lime shall be placed inside the isolated section of pipeline so as to achieve a concentration of free chlorine of at least 30 p.p.m. for that section of pipeline. After the repair or connection has been made, sterilisation shall be carried out on the whole section of the isolated mains by opening one of the isolating valves to fill up the pipe section. After charging with chlorinated water, the pipe section shall again be isolated. Adequate flushing shall be carried out before resumption of water supply. After at least 30 minutes of soaking with chlorinated water, the water in the isolated section shall be flushed out either through fire hydrants or washouts or, if these are not available, through a submain temporarily put out of service. The procedures for flushing in Section (B) of this Appendix shall be followed.

(2)

(3)

(4)

PS-APP22.26/1

(5)

In case it is not possible to fill up the isolated section of pipeline for carrying out sterilisation to the concerned pipe due to the presence of a large number of tee connections with open ends along the pipeline or other valid reasons, adequate flushing shall be carried out.

(B) Cleaning and Flushing Water Mains (1) The water in the concerned section of water mains shall be flushed out either through fire hydrants or washouts or, if these are not available, through a submain temporarily put out of service. Normally, two to three hydrants will be adequate for the flushing operation although more may be required for flushing large diameter pipes. Washouts may also be used at the same time to clear the muddy water inside the pipes if necessary. Flushing shall continue until the water coming out from the hydrants is found to be clean and is of a quality comparable with that drawn from the supply point. If instructed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall take water samples and deliver them to locations notified by the Engineer for inspection or testing as appropriate. For single-end fed system, the mode of flushing operation will be dictated by the flow direction. However, if the burst location is both-end fed, the flushing operation shall be carried out twice (once in each direction of flow) whenever time permits, i.e. first with valve on the upper side closed and the valve on the lower side open and then the other way round. This helps to better ensure complete cleaning of the isolated section of water mains. If time does not permit two-way flushing, the isolation valve on the lower side shall always be opened first to force the trapped water out for flushing bearing in mind that contaminated water shall naturally gravitate to the lower part of the section of concerned pipe. To ensure proper discharge of water from the hydrant outlet, the following measures shall be adopted as appropriate unless agreed by the Engineer:(a) The hydrant outlet shall be fitted with a G.I. downpipe and/or rubber hose for discharging the outflow water properly to nearby gullies or other drainage inlets without causing any inconvenience and danger to the pedestrian and motorists or flooding in the area; The hydrant shall be attended by at least one worker when discharging water from the hydrant outlet; and A display board shall be posted at the site to notify the public that maintenance and inspection works are in progress as shown in Sketch No. SK 3939/1.

APPENDIX 22.27
GUIDANCE NOTES ON THE SAFE OPERATION OF VALVES As the components of valves are subject to high water pressure of the pipeline, care should be taken in the operation of valves to prevent undue stress or damage to them. The following guidance notes are prepared in response to a recent valve failure at Heng Fa Chuen. They will be reviewed and updated as necessary when more information is available or more experience is gained. Valves are mainly classified into two types: horizontal valves which are usually of size 600 mm and above and vertical valves which are usually of size equal and below 300 mm. For valves of size 400 mm and 450 mm, both the horizontal and vertical types are common. Vertical valves are of more concern from a safety point of view as their spindle may be blown out if the valve is improperly operated to an extent of breaking or loosening the holding down bolts and nuts, detaching the spindle from the wedge nut and damaging/lifting the seal housing of the valve . A valve being open is less susceptible to blow-out incidents because when the gate is being raised, the risk of the valve spindle from being dislocated from the wedge nut is slim due to the non-rising spindle design. However, particular care is warranted in closing a valve equipped with a non-rising spindle. Designation of No-entry Zone during valve operations 1. To safeguard against injury by a water jet or loosened parts of a damaged valve flying out suddenly from the valve chamber, a no entry zone of a minimum size covering the area within 0.6 m measured from the edges of the opening of the valve chamber shall be delineated by barriers/cones, as far as the site conditions permit. No one, except those performing the valve operation or carrying out essential official duties shall be allowed to enter the zone. Staff should be reminded to avoid having his body or head directly over the spindle of any defective vertical valve under pressure when carrying out work at or near the valve. Inspection before work 2. Before any work is carrying out at a valve, a visual inspection to the valve chamber and the valve should be conducted. If the seal housing of the valve is found broken or loosen, no further operation on the valve should be proceeded. The gang leader should arrange immediate putting back the valve chamber cover. If the valve is of vertical type, the gang leader should arrange closing the neighbouring valves of the pipeline (immediately or when the term contractor start repairing works) for de-pressuring the defective valve for carrying out immediate emergency repair of the valve even though no water is seen oozing out from the valve chamber. If further inspection is necessary, the neighbouring valves of the pipeline should be closed to de-pressurize the defective valve. The gang leader should report the incident to the inspectorate officer for planned repair/replacement of the defective valve. Warnings for defective valves 3. A warning device should be placed inside the valve chamber in a conspicuous manner to warn others not to operate or touch the defective valve. The valve chamber cover shall be marked with a blue cross and the frame of the cover shall also be painted in blue to give warning to all staff involved. (Upon replacement of the valve, the blue colour is to be removed.)
PS-APP.22.27/1

Avoiding damage to valves during valve closure 4. In closing a valve, a steady amount of torque should be applied throughout the process. Avoiding excessive torque in valve operations 5. It is of paramount importance that no excessive torque is applied in operating the valve in order to avoid excessive stress exerted to the valve gate, seal housing, gears, spindle and other components of the valve. If the valve operation requires the addition of extension bar, it must be fully inserted into the turning rod on each end and its length should not be longer than 1m. Besides, only 2 operators are allowed to operate the valve at any one time. 6. Valve key with shear pin coupling should be used for closing valve of size ranging from 350mm to 550mm to protect the valve from being damaged by excessive torque.

What to do when a valve is possibly damaged during operation 7. In the event that the resistance of the turning rod is suddenly drastically reduced during valve closure, the valve spindle has probably somehow been detached from the wedge nut. The valve key should then be turned in the opposite (reversed) direction for a few turns to re-screw the valve spindle back into the gate nut. If successful, the gang leader should stop operating the valve and report the incident for planned repair/replacement of the defective valve as necessary. If unsuccessful and the valve is of vertical type, the gang leader should arrange for closing the neighbouring valves of the pipeline to depressurise the defective valve for carrying out immediate emergency repair of the valve. The valve cover should be marked with a blue cross, which should subsequently be washed upon valve replacement. Precautions for replacing defective valves 8. In case of doubt about the condition of the valve to be replaced, the gang leader should always arrange for closing the neighbouring valves of the pipeline for de-pressurising the defective valve before breaking the concrete encasing the valve. When the upper part of the valve is exposed and found to be intact, the closed neighbouring valves should be opened to resume water supply temporarily to the customers and the concrete breaking works may then continue. Otherwise, the valve must first be replaced and water supply suspension resulting from it has to continue until the completion of the valve replacement work. Routine valve exercising 9. As a precautionary measure, the person responsible for valve exercising shall make reference to the previous valve exercising report before carrying out any valve exercising operation. No valve exercising should be carried out unless it is confirmed that the valve defect as recorded in the previous valve exercising has been rectified. Moreover, when carrying out planned valve operation, opportunity should be taken to inspect the conditions of the valve. Any defects identified shall be reported to the inspectorate officer for prompt repair. Labels for odd valves 10. The majority of valves are closed in clockwise direction. However, there are exceptions in particular those installed a long time ago. For these odd valves, the direction of closing/opening the valves should be clearly indicated at a conspicuous position at the valves.

GUIDELINES FOR OPERATION OF GATE VALVES IN PLANNED OPERATIONS The following guidelines are good practices for the operation of gate valves in planned operations. They should also be followed, whenever practicable, under emergency condition. (1) Operation of Ungeared Gate Valves In general, the approximate number of revolutions required for fully opening or fully closing an ungeared gate valve can be assessed by the following formula: No of revolution = 1 + 2 x (valve size in inches)] Size of Valve (mm) DN150 DN200 DN250 DN300 DN400 DN450 DN600 DN800 DN1000 DN1200 (2) Size of Valve (Inch) 6 8 10 12 16 18 24 32 40 48 No. of Revolutions required 13 17 21 25 33 37 49 65 81 97

Operation of Geared Gate Valves The number of revolutions required for fully opening or fully closing a geared gate valve depends on its gear ratio. For example, the number of revolutions required for fully opening or closing a DN800 mm geared gate valve can be as high as 1100 due to gearing effect. In view of this, the regional staff should record the number of revolutions required for fully opening or fully closing the geared gate valves for future reference.

(3)

Use of Valve Actuator for Valve Operation If a valve actuator is used for valve operation, set the torque value the maximum torque and follow the guidelines on the use of generator and valve actuator.

(4)

Closing a Gate Valve To close a gate valve (assuming that the valve is not fully opened),
PS-APP22.28/1

(i)

use a listening stick if practicable or use the fire hydrant if there is one nearby to confirm that water is flowing through the valve to be closed; exert a steady torque for 5 or more revolutions in the closing direction; reverse the turning direction until the valve is fully opened; apply the torque in the closing direction until the gate is about half way down i.e. up to half the no. of revolutions specified in paragraph (1) above for ungeared gate valves, paragraph (2) above for geared gate valves or the number of revolutions recorded by the Regional staff as appropriate;

(ii) (iii) (iv)

(v)

when closing the remaining half of the valve, reverse the turning direction for 2 to 4 revolutions after closing every 5 or 10 revolutions; the purpose is to flush away the sediment at the invert of the valve; be cautious when the valve is about to be fully closed; further closing of the valve should be done manually; the operator should feel the resisting torque in order to apply the final gentle touch to fully close the valve; and

(vi) (vii)

(viii)

use a listening stick if practicable to confirm that the valve is fully closed.

(5)

Opening a Gate Valve To open a gate valve, (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) use a listening stick if practicable to confirm the valve status; exert a steady torque for 5 or 10 revolutions in the opening direction; reverse the turning direction for 2 to 3 revolutions; repeat steps (ii) and (iii) above until the valve is fully opened; be cautious when the valve is about to be fully opened, especially when a valve actuator is used for valve operation. further opening of the valve should be done manually; the operator should feel the resisting torque in order to apply the final gentle touch to fully open the valve; (vii) it is a good practice to give one or two turns in the closing direction from the fully opened position at the end of the valve operation; and use a listening stick if practicable to confirm that the valve is opened.

RFID Marker
1. All markers used for water applications are blue in color and tuned to 145.7 kHz to reduce the probability that markers of other underground facilities will be erroneously located. The locator sends a signal to the passive marker that energizes it. This signal is reflected back to the locator. Electronic markers are immune to congestion and extremely reliable. In addition, electronic markers are typically installed during construction when the facility is visible to the eye, making it one of the most trusted methods for positive identification of buried facilities.

Appendix 27.02 - Colour Coding of Lifting Gear

1. 1.1 General This procedure applies to all slings, shackles and such-like equipment that are required by regulation to be certified. This procedure will be distributed and shall apply to all contractors who are working on the Site. This procedure will be distributed to the Suppliers. It shall become a condition of purchase that all Suppliers use only certified lifting equipment on the Site. Such equipment will not feature on the Site Lifting Gear Register (the Register) if it is only present on a temporary basis during loading/unloading of plant, equipment or materials. Arrival on the Site Upon arrival on the Site, all contractors shall ensure that their lifting equipment is properly certified and identifiable (i.e. any stamping is legible). If it is not certified or the stamping is not legible then the equipment shall be quarantined and not used until such time as it is tested and certificates can be provided. Sub-contractors shall report to the Main Contractors Safety Officer (SO) who shall ensure that the certification and stamping are satisfactory, before entering the equipment in the Register and painting the equipment with the appropriate colour (see para. 3.1 below). The Register shall include the due date for re-examination of the equipment. Routine Monitoring A colour coding system will be in use for months as noted below. Jan Apr Jul Oct Feb May Aug Nov Mar.

The Main Contractor and Sub-contractors foremen are to familiarise themselves with the colour for that month and ensure that personnel in their charge use only equipment painted in the appropriate colour. On the last working day of each month (except as noted in para. 3.5) the Safety Officer of the Main Contractor (SO) will issue copies of the updated register to site foremen. The foreman will then check all equipment on their batch for compatibility with the register. The foremen shall particularly ensure that stamping is still legible and the colouring is appropriate. Any equipment in doubt shall be removed from the working area and delivered to the Main Contractors central yard whereupon Sub-Contractors will be required to have it quarantined, re-certified or scrapped accordingly. The equipment under quarantine shall be painted white by the SO. The SO or Safety Supervisors will supervise this operation and be responsible for it.

During day-to-day operations, it is the responsibility of all concerned to ensure that proper lifting equipment is used. Any irregularity shall be immediately reported to the SO who shall take action as necessary. On the following days, or as soon thereafter as practical but in any event within 14 days, all lifting equipment shall be inspected by the SO who shall also check the validity of the certificates as stipulated in the FIU (Lifting Appliances & Lifting Gear) Regulations. The days are 31st March 30th June 30th September 31st December

3.5

Upon satisfactory inspection and certification, SO shall paint the said equipment with the new colour as noted in para. 3.1 and enter in the Register accordingly. 3.6 The Main Contractors Safety Officer shall be responsible for ensuring that all equipments are painted with the appropriate colour and an updated register of such equipment kept. If routine monitoring (re. paras. 3.3 & 3.4) reveals faults with colour coding then Sub-contractors shall inform the Safety Officer who will take the appropriate action. If equipment is obviously faulty then it shall be painted red and the Sub-contractor be advised to remove it from the Site immediately. The colour coding does not evade the Contractors duty under the Factories & Industrial Undertakings (Lifting Appliances and Lifting Gears) Regulations in examining them every six months by Registered Professional Engineers. Completion/Removal from the Site From time to time, or upon completion of his work, a Sub-contractor may require to remove equipment from the Site. Such removal shall be notified to the SO for updating the Register. Once removed from the Site, if the equipment is then brought back, then it shall be treated as per para. 2 above.
