    The document discusses methods for drilling boreholes and installing a water reticulation system across two districts in Botswana. It outlines that a Construction Method Statement will be prepared to prevent, reduce, and mitigate environmental impacts. It then provides details on the planning, equipment, health and safety, and quality control procedures that will be followed for the drilling works. This includes using appropriate equipment, following inspection and permitting processes, conducting an induction for all personnel, and implementing environmental management systems during drilling.

    To ensure environmental protection, a Construction Method Statement (CMS) will be prepared

    providing a mechanism to prevent, reduce, and mitigate environmental effects. The draft CMS will
    be discussed and agreed with DGC and other stakeholders at a later date, if planning consent is
    granted, and enforced and monitored during all key stages of the works.

    A detailed method statement for the construction period should be provided with the EIA for
    Dumfries and Galloway Council to approve. In this report should be an assessment of potentially
    noisy operations and an outline of the proposed noise mitigation measures. Guidance should be
    taken from ‘BS5228: 1997: Part 1: Noise and Vibration Control on Construction and Open sites’

    Encourage development of site specific method statements to identify all waste streams.

    Method statement - a document that clearly sets out the details of how the work will be carried out.

    1 Scope of Works
    This method statement covers the drilling and equipping of borehole and reticulation of
    water across Kgalagadi District and Ghanzi South. A Method Statement (MS) will be
    prepared providing a mechanism to prevent, reduce, and mitigate environmental effects
    through protective measures.
    2 Plant and equipment
    Drilling rig
    Drill casings and tools
    Drill weights
    Bowser
    Drill tanks
    Dip meter
    Water pump
    Flow meter
    Nitrogen cylinder
    Installation gear
    Emergency spill kit
    Fire extinguishers
    First aid kits
    Shovel and spade
    Power pack and breaker
    Rig support vehicle and tow board
    All lifting equipment and accessories shall conform to the requirements of the Lifting
    Operations and lifting equipment and be subject to regular six monthly inspection.
    The rig, lifting equipment and accessories shall be subject to daily inspection by the lead
    driller in control of the rig which will be recorded on the weekly inspection forms, any
    defects will be noted on the forms which shall be submitted to the plant department
    weekly. The plant department and site agent shall be informed immediately of any safety
    critical defects to enable prompt action to be taken out of operation until remedial
    action has been taken.
    3 Mobilisation/ Demobilisation
    The rigs will be towed to site behind in a convoy and parked in a designated area until
    ready for use on site.
    Drill casing and equipment will be delivered to site by a wagon and stored at a
    designated location on site until required. Kgalagadi District and Ghanzi South is a
    semi-arid area, the day temperatures are usually high, therefore, any volatile compound
    should be stored in a safe place.
    The bowser will be delivered by towing behind a vehicle or on the back of a wagon and
    winched off.
    The condition of the equipment will be inspected by the site team prior to use.
    Survey work
    Before proceeding with the works, contractor shall carry out traveres survey,
    Method of Work
    Access routes to all the exploratory hole locations shall be agreed in advance with the
    administration.
    Access to borehole positions inclusive shall be via rough tracks off. Due to the possibility
    of encountering soft ground, both along the access tracks and at the borehole positions,
    appropriate precautions must be put in place to allow safe access and egress to and
    from the borehole positions and provide a safe working area for the rig and crew. Safety
    measures must be appropriate for the size and type of the plant being used to complete
    the works. Precautions may include the use of Navvy Mats/ track matts, benching/
    grading of embankments and/or sloping ground and the placement of roadstone as
    appropriate but will at the discretion of the Principal Contractor.
    The hole locations will be marked out and agreed in advance of the works with the
    Utilities ground investigation supervisor. A pre-condition photograph shall be
    undertaken as part of this process. If there is an issue with the exploratory hole location
    with regards to services or features on site, an alternative location shall be agreed with
    the Engineers supervisor. Holes shall be marked out in accordance with service plans
    and any surface features identified
    All holes shall have a permit to dig and a borehole sampling and testing instruction
    issued prior to breaking ground. A permit to work system must also be approved by the
    Principal Contractor.
    Prior to any works commencing, all personnel undergo induction. Any SOPs and specific
    rules are communicated within the induction, must be adhered to at all times. Speed
    limits and one-way system in operation must be followed.
    Quality Assurance and Environmental Management Systems
    Trip hammers are to be calibrated prior to use.
    Drip trays are to be placed under the drill rig once rigged up
    Emergency spill kit is to be placed in the work areas together with fire extinguishers.
    Works will be carried out in accordance with the works procedure for the Boreholes Act
