1. INTRODUCTION
As a part of Beach Construction, the installation of Maker Buoys is very important. The
floating marker buoys is installed on the toe bund at end of the beach sand. The function
of floating marker buoys is to show the limit of swimming area. As concerning the safety
of tourists, the floating marker buoys shall be installed obviously and correctly.
2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Method Statement is briefly discussing the procedure for installation of Method. In this
case, CHEC has 9 units of Maker Buoys to be installed in Hotel Beach Area. The
Method Statement oomposes of planning and sequence of activities to be performed for
all the stages from planning and document p<eparations, materi als procurement, sinker
precast, embeddi ng sinker on the toe bund, r einstating the toe bund, connecting floating
marker buoy with sinker.
CHEC confirms and guarantees that the insnallation of Maker Buoys method followed as
per the explained procedure will not damage to the toe bund or environmental hazards.

4.1.2. Materials procurement
Beach Maker Buoys shall be foam filled and of high density polyethylence casing. Beach
Maker Buoys shall be conical with a diameter ol 500mm (Bottom Surtace). The weight
for the empty buoy should be 12 kg and the buoy foamed weight should be 30 kg. The
total volvme of the l;lvoy of the bvoy $hOVId b'i! 4;? b. The buoy $hovld be connected to
the sinker (foundation) using a steel galvanized chain with 10mm diameter.

station shall be built belore profile Settingoot.
4.2. Sinker (Foundation) Precast
The sinker (Foundation) should use mass ooncrete blocks in lull conl ormance with the
manulacture's recommendations. A block weight ol 2000 kg should be adopted. Three
sets of wooden formwork will be used lor precast. Once the concrete strength is up to

4.3. Embedding Sinker on the Toe Bund
After completion of the rock toe bund, divers and barge with excavator/ccane will be
used to remove the rock at designated locati on for concrete sinker embedding. The
sinker should be completely embedded in th.e underwater rock toe to ensure full
resistance is achieved.

4.4. Reinstating the Toe Bund
After completion of the foundation (sinker) for each buoy, the rock toe should be
completely reinstated I a the ot'iginal dimensions and construction detail. Underwater
photographs of the rock toe before and after installation of the buoy should be submit1ed
to the Engi neer for approval.
4.5. Connecting Floating Marker Buoy with Sinker
Alter completion of the foundation (sinker) and reinstating the toe bund, the Marker
Buoys will be connected to the sinker by the steel galvanized chain. The activity will be
conducted by the qualified divers.
