Review existing drawings, utilities maps, structural drawings, previous site investigations, and as-built documents. Carry out measured surveys and photographic records.
Record adjacent buildings, roads, utilities and finishes before works begin.
Record adjacent buildings, roads, utilities and finishes before works begin.
Inspect for asbestos, lead paint, contaminated soil or hydrocarbons; arrange licensed removal if present.
Secure demolition permit, NOC for traffic management, waste transfer (hazardous if any), and Abu Dhabi Municipality/ERD approvals where required.
Produce detailed method statement, Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS), emergency plan, and environmental management plan (EMP).
Notify neighbors, arrange traffic/road closures, and coordinate with client and authorities for working hours and noise controls.

Monitoring
Material Selection
Approved crushed concrete (after testing), selected excavated granular material.
Natural sand, crushed rock, engineered fill or specified granular sub-base (as per project spec). Provide material certificates, gradation, and contamination tests.
Produce detailed method statement, Risk Assessment and Method Statement (RAMS), emergency plan, and environmental management plan (EMP).
Place back-fill in controlled lifts (typical 150–300 mm loose thickness depending on equipment and material). Compact each lift to specified relative compaction (e.g., ≥95% Modified Proctor or as engineered). Use plate compactors, rammers, or vibratory rollers per lift thickness and material. Pay special care when back-filling around buried services: use free-flowing bedding sand and hand-compaction adjacent to pipes. Provide geotextile or geogrid where specified for separation/stabilization.
In-situ density tests (nuclear gauge or sand replacement) at defined frequencies. Moisture content control and adjustment. Laboratory gradation and Proctor tests on representative samples. CBR testing for pavement subgrade where required.
