IMPORTANT

This is a professional standard template, not a project-approved method statement. It must be reviewed, completed and adapted for the chamber schedule, drainage design, route and profiles, chamber types and depths, connected pipes, ground and groundwater conditions, excavation support, lifting arrangements, materials, access systems, cover load classes, test requirements, applicable legislation, standards and client or utility-owner requirements before use.

The completed project document must be reviewed and approved by appropriately competent and authorised personnel.
