Manual of Standard Method Statements for Trenchless Projects

Documentation of working process of any construction project that identifies various steps and inputs in the complete activity chain is termed as Method Statement. It also outlines the expected hazards and risks and directions to mitigate them. It is an essential requirement for successful project as it helps the project implementer in planning, sourcing and executing multiple activities set to conclude the project successfully. For developing a tailor-made method statement for each application, a framework of standard method statements can help in avoiding omissions or commissions while developing the specific framework. Such incomplete method statements, at times, may lead to failed projects due to inadequate risk coverage and therefore need to be avoided. This manual provides Standard Method Statements for approved trenchless techniques to assist the project planners to develop necessary method statement for a specific projects using such techniques.
