PROJECT INTRODUCTION

The Government of Sindh (GoS), through its Work and Services Department (WSD), aims to provide
an affordable, safe and sustainable road network in the province. To help achieve this aim, GoS
requested a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to reconstruct or rehabilitate up to 400
kilometers (km) of deteriorated roads.
The worst sections of the project roads will be reconstructed, involving the removal of surface
pavement, building up and in some cases widening of the sub-base layers and providing a new
asphaltic concrete base and riding surface. Other sections will be rehabilitated; involving scarifying
the current riding asphalt layers and providing an overlay of new asphalt base and riding courses.
The road sections to be reconstructed or rehabilitated (Exhibit-1) were selected from an initial list of
700 km of roads by ranking the roads in order of importance (primarily based on the traffic carried)
and condition. The initial technical ranking was adjusted to ensure a more even distribution of roads
across the province. A road map of Sindh showing the selected roads is shown as Exhibit-2

Site Restoration Plan for Camp Site

As camp site area is private propriety of the contractor and will keep camp site in its possession for
future construction activities. The construction equipment will be safely displaced at desired location
of the management. Tree plantation for fresh air is being done at camp site. Contractor intends to
construct the boundary well around the camp site area for security and safety.

Removal of Material & Equipment from Camp Site

 Safety Equipment: Workers should always wear appropriate personal protective

equipment. Wear gloves and long sleeve shirts for forearm protection when lifting items that
have sharp or rough edges. Protect your vision with safety goggles. When lifting items that
are very heavy, you should wear steel-toed safety shoes or boots to protect your feet and
toes

 Lift Properly: Use proper lifting techniques: bend at your hips and knees to squat down to
your load, keep it close to your body, and straighten your legs to lift. Consider wearing a
lumbar support belt for spine support and encourage leg lifting

 Add Handles – When moving materials manually, workers should attach handles or
holders to loads.

 Get Help – When an oversized load is too bulky to properly grasp or lift, get a co-
worker to assist you to reduce risk to yourself and avoid damaging the material. If you
cannot see around or over the load, seek help from another employee to help you
move the material safely.

 Blocking Materials – Use blocking materials that are large and strong enough to
support the load safely. Blocking material should be in good condition, and not have
cracks, be splintered, or dry rotted. When placing blocking material under a load, be
cautious that load is not released before removing hands from under the load.
