Burnout

  • Burnout

  • Did the foreman conduct a Burnout JHA meeting with the entire crew prior to the start of the job?

  • Has the Foreman read the Burnout and removal procedures chapter 5.7?

  • Have the Foreman and Schnabel Construction Manager agreed on a order to remove tiebacks, braces and steel walers?

  • Are employees keeping away from pinch points?

  • Does the Schnabel Foreman understand that we do not take directions from the General Contractor or anyone else on order of removal of tiebacks, braces and steel walers? (The Foreman must follow the Schnabel Construction Manager's approved removal order and if changes need to be made the foreman must get these changes approved by the Schnabel Construction Manager.)

  • Are employees avoiding standing directly in front of the wale or tieback while detensioning? (It is best to stand to the side or above the wale)

  • Are all other uneccessary employees keeping clear of the operation?

  • Are employees burning one strand of a tieback at a time?

  • Are employees cutting the brackets supporting the wales before cutting the tieback strands?

  • Are employees avoiding working off of a ladder?

  • Do employees know to never work alone?

  • Are employees wearing proper PPE for cutting with the torch? (Shade 5 face shield or glasses and flame resistant garments)

  • For Off- Line wall support detensioning, is there compacted back fill placed to within two feet of the tieback/wale elevation prior to detensioning?

  • For Wall-Line support is the floor slab located just below the tieback poured and allowed to achieve its required strength prior to the tieback is detensioned? (In general, if the tieback is located within three feet of the floor slab below it, it can be detensioned prior to the installation of the floor slab above it. The construction manager must check this design condition prior to proceeding with detensioning of the tieback. Otherwise, the floor slab above the tieback must be poured and allowed to cure prior to detensioning of the tieback.)

  • Did the general contractor leave enough space around each bracket to allow for safe removal of the wale and bracket?

  • Is there a safe method of lowering wales to the floor slab?

  • While working on scaffolding above 6ft is there proper fall protection?

  • For Off-Line support of excavation is compacted backfill within two feet of the brace/wale elevation?

  • Are employees making a small cut in the brace to allow it to relax, prior to making the full cut?

  • For Wall-Line support of an excavation is the floor slab located just below the brace poured and allowed to achieve its required strength before the brace is removed?

  • Are pile top cut offs limited to 5 feet or less?

  • Is waterproofing being protected when while cutting?

  • Are there adequate blockout to safely conduct work? (blockouts should provide a minimum of a 2 inch gap, but 3 inches would be preferable)

  • Is there a fire extinguisher within 25' of the hot work operation?

  • When cutting is being performed on a higher level where there is an exposure to workers below, has the area below been cleared and marked as a "Do Not Enter Zone", to protect any workers passing underneath from being hit by sparks or slag?

  • Are employees avoiding positions where they could possibly be caught in between walers or anything else that could suddenly move?

  • Are employees making cuts from above the piece that they are trying to remove?

Operations

Operations

  • Did the foreman contact the utility locating service? (We will not proceed without calling the appropriate utility locating service and field verify the location of utilities.)

  • Does the foreman have an updated set of drawings?

  • Did the foreman field verify all surrounding utilities? (Pull all surrounding manhole covers and verify invert elevations.)

  • Did the construction manager and foreman review the utility locations shown on the drawings as part of their project hazard analysis?

  • Did the foreman or construction manager locate any unknown utilities and have they been added to the drawings?

  • Where manholes are not available, were adjacent utilities field verified by potholing, vacuuming, probing, etc.; prior to us doing work?

  • Does the drilling angle match the angle schedule on the plans?

  • Do the plans comply with our MISS UTILITY USA drawings required clearances for utilities? (TIEBACKS AND SOIL NAILS 1/2 the outside diameter of the utility + 2 feet clearance to avoid disturbing the utility + an additional 1 foot per 10 feet of distance from the wall to the utility.)

  • Do the plans comply with our MISS UTILITY USA drawings required clearances for utilities? (DRIVEN SOLDIER BEAMS - 2 feet from edge of pile + 1 foot for every 10 feet of distance from the top of grade to the utility.) (Drilled Soldier Beams - 2 feet from edge of auger + 1 foot for every 20 feet of distance from the top of grade to utility.)

  • Is the foreman checking the manholes in the vicinity of the tiebacks or soil nails DAILY for signs of grout?

  • Is the actual quantity of grout being compared to the planned quantity? (If there is a big discrepancy, immediately stop and check surrounding utilities.)
