H&S Design Developments

• Ongoing discussions with J&P during PD and DD
• J&P Design Managers present during design
• Discussion of the design, constructability and techniques that J&P
are using
• Meetings with PWA Operations & Maintenance Department
• Internal Technical Reviews
 PD & DD Stage

H&S Design Registers

• Managed by the Discipline Leaders

• Updated as the design

progresses

• A final summary is part of

and CD Roads
Utilities
 Example – Groundwater
Issue
• Groundwater levels in Qatar are an issue particular on Orbital Contract 1.
Measures
• To avoid safety and construction issues with working adjacent to standing water, WSPIPB proposed
switching cycle way underpass structures into over-bridge structures. In addition in areas of high
groundwater the adjacent ground levels were in some locations increased in fill
 Example – EHV Lines
Issue
• Kahramma Overhead Lines are an issue particular on Orbital Contract 1.

Measures
• To avoid any safety issues associated with the disconnection and removal of these cables it was
imperative that early detailed communication relating to shut down periods happened with
Kahramma Electric. This allowed an early definition in the programme as to when the safest
periods would be to avoid pedestrians and the measures that needed to be in place to ensure the
safety of the workforce
Structures
Example – QP Culverts
 Example – Lifting

Issue
• Unsafe lifting devices for
precast elements i.e. QP
Culverts
Measures
• Precast element weights noted
on drawings
• Lifting requirements noted on
drawings
• Referenced in SHE BOX
