ABSTRACT ‘If you need to be right before you move, you will never win. Perfection is the enemy of the good when it comes to emergency management. Speed trumps perfection. The problem we have in society at the moment is that everyone is afraid of making a mistake, everyone is afraid
of the consequence of error, but the greatest error is not to move. The EMERGENCY greatest error is to be paralyzed by the fear of failure’.- RESPONSE PLAN DR. MICHAEL J. RYAN, “WHO” EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HEALTH EMERGENCIES, Acute Infectious Disease – COVID 19 MARCH 15, 2020

Corona Virus (COVID-19)
3.1 Cause
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an illness that can affect the lungs and airways. It's caused by a virus called coronavirus. As a type of virus and as a group, coronaviruses are common across the world. The current type, COVID-19, is a new strain of coronavirus first identified in Wuhan City, China in December 2019. The current understanding about how the COVID-19 virus spreads is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. As COVID-19 is a new disease, there is more to learn about how it spreads, the severity of illness it causes, and to what extent it may spread globally. Like other types of coronaviruses, the incubation period of COVID-19 disease is between 2 to 14 days. This means that if a person remains well 14 days after contact with someone with confirmed coronavirus, they have not been infected.
3.2 Transmission
For the moment the virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person who are in close contact with one another (within about 1 meter). It is furthermore likely that the risk increases the longer someone has close contact with an infected person. Respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes containing the virus are most likely to be the main means of transmission. There are 2 main routes by which people can spread COVID- 19 disease: • Infection can be spread to people who are nearby or possibly could be inhaled into the lungs; and • It is also possible that someone may become infected by touching a surface, object or the hand of an infected person that has been contaminated with respiratory droplets and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes (i.e. touching door knob or shaking hands then touching own face). From the 2 main routes of transmission this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads There is currently little evidence that people who are without symptoms are infectious to others. There is no perceived increase in risk for handling mail, items or packages.

Name of Project – Power Transmission Infrastructure for RUPSHA 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant on Turnkey Basis Name of Document – COVID 19 ER Plan Job Number – LE200256 Date– 21-07-2020
3.3 Symptoms
The following symptoms may develop in the 14 days after exposure to someone who has COVID-19 infection: • Fever, tiredness, and dry cough • Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea (These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually) • Difficulty breathing Generally, these infections can cause more severe symptoms in people with weakened immune systems (i.e. elderly people, and those with long-term conditions like high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease).
3.4 Diagnosis
A nose swab, carried out by a certified medical institution, can be done as early assessment of the virus. The nose swab is then analyzed in a laboratory. Result will be available after diagnosis and test .
3.5 Treatment
At present, there is no treatment vaccine available to cure for COVID-19 disease. Instead, the best treatment for the virus is by providing good nutrition and hospital care to let the patient recover. This is likely to work for a vast majority of patients.
Emergency Response Model
Being ready to respond to an acute infectious disease (COVID-19 disease) requires engaging in a continuous cycle of activities that focuses on four (4) phases during the pre-emergency planning: - Prevention / Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery (figure 1). The four (4) phases often overlap and steps taken in one phase will directly impact how the next phase will progress.
Page 6 of 20
Name of Project – Power Transmission Infrastructure for RUPSHA 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant on Turnkey Basis Name of Document – COVID 19 ER Plan Job Number – LE200256 Date– 21-07-2020
Prevention / Mitigation includes all activities that attempt to avoid or prevent a COVID-19 disease outbreak or reduces the chance of such an outbreak happening (prevention) or reduces the impact of COVID-19 disease outbreak (mitigation). Preparedness combines planning and training for response, such as the development of this Acute Infectious Disease - COVID-19 Emergency Management Plan, (awareness) training for employees, and service provider employees. Response addresses the short-term impact of COVID-19 disease outbreak. This includes immediate actions taken to protect life. Recovery includes all activities that focus on restoring the situation after an acute infectious disease emergency to normal.
Figure 1. Emergency management model The pre-emergency planning cycle (figure 1) provides a framework to continuously re-evaluate, update and improve the prevention / mitigation, preparedness, and response planning through assessment, training, exercises, and implementation of improvements to reduce the susceptibility of our employees and workmen prior to and during a COVID-19 disease outbreak.
When any of workplace is confronted with a COVID-19 disease emergency, response is initiated immediately, followed by the start of recovery. The response phase is most intense when an emergency occurs and then tempers off.

Name of Project – Power Transmission Infrastructure for RUPSHA 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant on Turnkey Basis Name of Document – COVID 19 ER Plan Job Number – LE200256 Date– 21-07-2020
As the initial emergency stabilizes, focus shifts from immediate response and control to recovery and improvement of systems and return to pre-emergency operations. The ‘new level’ of pre-emergency operations include lessons learned and implementation of recommendations based on the emergency.
Prevention
Prevention is the key to acute infectious disease emergencies, such as COVID-19 disease, and requires assessing the potential hazards and risks and identifying what actions need to be taken to prevent or reduce their impact on our organization and project sites.
5.1 General Precautions
There is currently no vaccine to prevent COVID-19 disease. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the virus and follow general precautions against flu to prevent people from catching and spreading COVID-19 disease:
• Avoid shaking hands. Instead use different ways to greet each other. • Regularly and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water or clean your hands with an alcohol- based hand rub. • Social distancing: - Maintain at least 1-meter distance between yourself and anyone who is coughing, sneezing, or do not feel well. • Follow good respiratory etiquette. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose the used tissue immediately. But the use of face mask should be made compulsory. • Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. Your hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. • Inform your superior when you do not feel well, especially if you have a fever, cough and/or difficulty in breathing.

In addition to the above we have taken additional measures to prevent employees from catching and spreading COVID-19 disease:
• Download and install the mobile app – “CORONA TRACER BD” launched by govt. of Bangladesh. • Infrared thermometer for screening of body temperature • Disposable masks • Disposable/surgery hand gloves • Disposable shoe cover • Disposable head caps • Goggles (full eye cover)
For the latest information on precautionary measures taken by our organization, see internal communications like e-zine broadcast, circulars, govt. websites – https://corona.gov.bd/and WHO website also.

Attachment 1. WHO GUIDELINE FOR SAFETY ITEMS……………… 10
1.0 Preambles Since the first reporting by China in December 2019, the coronavirus disease (COVID- 19) has become a public health emergency and seized national and international attention. On 11th March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic.
In Bangladesh, COVID-19 affected number continues to increase as time goes by and the character of the virus transmission is very fast since it was first announced earlier.
In response to this crisis, Rupsha 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project under North- West Power Generation Company Limited (NWPGCL) has formulated this guideline on COVID-19 following Directorate General of Health Service (DGHS) Guideline and World Health Organization (WHO) Guideline to prevent COVID-19-virus from entering the project site, spreading within the project site, and spreading outside from the project site. NWPGCL has assessed the risk and emphasized that all parties shall be prepared for containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact tracing and prevention of onward spread. It has been proven by numerous experiences that the ability to effectively respond to a ‘threat’ is strongly influenced by the extent to which such threats have been assessed in advance and prepared for with corresponding prevention and mitigation measures.
A systematic management measures to reduce, contain and manage the risk from COVID-19 within and outside the Project site boundary is described in the next chapters of this document which has to be implemented immediately by all the EPC Contractor (EPCC) under Rupsha 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project.
1
2.0 Management Measures within Project Site Boundary NWPGCL advises EPC Contractors to tackle COVID-19 by using a systematic approach that emphasizes on the joint collaboration of workers and management through active engagement. Following these policies and procedures set out in this guidance will help improve response and preparedness of workplaces in dealing with COVID-19.
2.1 Policy and Procedure 2.1.1 Develop an Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plan EPCC will have to deploy their own COVID-19 response team/ task force team as per Fig. 1. This team shall be responsible for all protective actions against COVID-19. Project Management Unit (PMU) of Rupsha 800 MW CCPP Project has developed a monitoring team to supervise the task force team. The Monitoring Team is comprised of following members:
Sl No Name Designation Contact Number 1. Mr. Md. Hasmat Ali Deputy Project Director 01755630022 (Superintendent Engineer) 2. Mr. Imtiaz Ahmed Sub-Divisional Engineer 01777736483 3. Mr. Affifan Nozmu Assistant Manager (EHS) 01779554505
Divide the site into distinguished work sections to allow for ease of control and lockdown in case of an outbreak. Ensure proper representation from every work section in the team. The developed policy should clearly define the accountability and responsibility of team members in writing so the entire workforce is made aware of their responsibility (who is in-charge, who does what?) in terms of prevention, mechanism, and handling suspected COVID-19 cases in the workplace. Communicating and implementing COVID-19 related policies and procedures with relevant parties in the project through workers’ training, and targeted interventions relevant to assigned tasks including but not limited to induction training, training of safety and posting names of COVID- 19 team members. Regular review, coordination, and updates to the plan as COVID-19 outbreak conditions change, including as new information about the virus, its transmission, and impacts become available. Prepare a SOP related to receipt of machines, tools, accessories, and any other goods into site area, including what is imported from outside the country. This policy should include a quarantine and checking area for what is brought into site area.

Figure 1: COVID-19 Task Force
3 2.1.2 Develop, Implement, and Communicate about Working Flexibility and Protections Maintain flexible policies that permit employees to stay home if a family member or dependent is exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 (cough, fever, difficulty breathing). Actively encourage sick employees to stay home.
2.1.3 Prepare Medical Expert with Resources on COVID-19 Have a detailed meeting with the medical expert to identify the gap in existing medical facility. Take immediate action to procure what’s missing. Encourage medical expert to educate themselves on COVID-19 from Ministry of Health and Family Welfare approved online course or WHO online training.
2.1.4 Preventive Measures The best way to control COVID-19 is to systematically prevent it from entering the project site. In most cases, a combination of control measures will be necessary to protect workers from exposure to COVID- 19
Ensure similar physical distancing of at least 2 meters (6 feet) among workers in different locations. Modify the dining area to be individual space by providing a barrier or provide limits on the distance to the dining area for each worker. Increasing ventilation in the office place. Establishing hand wash stations at the main gate with adequate number of liquid soaps; ensuring hand wash/sanitization for all the visitors and employees while entering into site. Establishing more hand wash stations throughout the project site area with an adequate number of water taps and soap to facilitate frequent hand wash and ensure at least two meters distance from one tap to another. Hand washing stations should have clean, dry cloth, single-use towel or hand drier – avoid reusable towels Checking workers and any visitor’s temperature by using infrared thermometer/thermal scanning/ necessary health check-up of every employee and maintain a logbook to allow for contact tracing. Site office should complete disinfection prior to entry. Using personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as disposable gloves protective suit and mask is mandatory when disinfection processes are implemented. Spraying disinfectant throughout the site; routine cleaning is being continued with more attention to disinfect machineries and equipment. The bottom of shoes should be sprayed with disinfectant while entering to site office. All vehicles must be disinfected upon entry Provide training on how to use, take off, and dispose of personal protective equipment properly Collecting all used PPE in a separate waste bin Ensure adequate PPE for security guards
4 EPCC must ensure the following PPE and safety equipment are available in site area. The standard of PPE and safety equipment should be maintained according to WHO guideline (Attachment 1)
a) Disposable face masks b) Disposable goggles c) Gloves d) Medical clothes (including waterproof clothes) e) Plastic cover for the feet/shoes f) Face masks for all employees.
2.1.5 Administrative Initiatives to Reduce Risk of COVID-19 Allowing all employees to visit doctors for any COVID-19 symptom, sending workers away from site area with paid leave if they have fevers. Ensuring social distancing is maintained during visits and facilities are disinfected after each worker visits. Divide the lunch/dinner/prayer break into several shifts to avoid the large number of workers who gather at a time and place the same simultaneously. Change the working time to shift work; shift work schedules should take into consideration of workers with family responsibilities and their availabilities to take on certain shifts. Change the attendance system of the fingerprint to the use of punch card attendance. If temporary registers are used, then the pens used should be wiped with hand sanitizers after each use. Ensure each worker carry individual drinking water bottles and maintain gap between the water tap and bottle.
2.1.6 Workers’ Communication and Awareness Program Arranging awareness training for all employees could be arranged in smaller groups of not more than 20 per session, where each member will be able to maintain social distancing during the session.
Provide trainings on appropriate use of PPE (i.e. how to dispose of gloves safely, how to take on and off masks, how to wash cloth masks) Posting awareness poster with several emergency instructions throughout the project site area and distributing leaflet on COVID-19, including information related to health services. Motivating all the employees to maintain personal hygiene in their homes also Forming Emergency Response Team to monitor all ongoing safety initiatives and to deal any emergency related to COVID-19. Educate workers to use the washroom basin for spitting
a) How to use PPE correctly
I. Before putting on a PPE, wash hands and wrists with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water for at least 20 seconds
5 II. Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between face and the mask – inform men workers they may experience increase risks of spreading and contracting masks as the masks cannot be used efficiently due to facial hair III. Avoid touching the mask while using it especially the front of the mask; if you do, avoid touching your face (especially your eyes) clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water IV. Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not reuse single-use masks/PPEs. V. To remove the mask: remove it from behind (do not touch the front of mask); discard immediately in a closed bin; wash hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water b) How to wash hands properly
I. Wet hands with safe running water II. Apply enough soap to cover wet hands III. Scrub all surfaces of the hands – including backs of hands, between fingers and under nails, and wrists – for at least 20 seconds IV. Rinse thoroughly with running water V. Dry hands with a clean, dry cloth, single-use towel or hand drier as available. VI. Wash your hands often, especially before and after eating; after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing; going to the bathroom/toilets/latrines and whenever your hands are visibly dirty. VII. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water.
2.1.7 Identification and Isolation of Potential and Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 Only ONE specific or designated entry (in/out) for the project site and this has to be indicated in the layout. This is for site security as well for strict control of movement (staff, Visitors, vehicles) by NWPGCL/EPCC personnel in/out of the project site. The project site area should have a screening system for prompt identification system of COVID-19; The employer must restrict the number of personnel entering site areas and protect workers in close contact. The employer must contact COVID-19 hotline numbers for the necessary diagnosis of the suspected workers. In case any confirmed case is found, authority should provide leave to the workers and proper counselling for self-quarantine. Below points should explain clearly and advise to follow during self-quarantine: I. Do not leave your home. II. Do not allow visitors. III. Only household members who are caring for the person suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19 should stay at home. IV. Separate yourself from other people in the household. V. Use face masks, if you have one, when in the same room with other people, to protect them.
6 VI. Stay in a well-ventilated room with a window that can be opened. If a dedicated toilet is not available, the isolated person should clean the toilet thoroughly after each use. VII. Use separate towels, eating utensils, drinking glasses, bedding or any other household item commonly shared in the family setting. VIII. If you don’t have enough grocery or medicine to last you for two weeks, ask your friends, neighbours, or family members to help you with grocery and medicine shopping. Avoid direct contact when interacting with them, for example, by arranging groceries to be dropped at the door. Wash hands directly before and after any interaction with others. IX. For workers with household and care responsibilities, inform partners, family members, and dependents about the need to avoid contact, which may reduce the worker’s ability to perform their household duties. The COVID response team should identify people who have been in contact with them and to instruct them to be in self-quarantine. Anyone who has come within six feet of the suspected individual should be sent home for 14 days, and should continually follow up with them on each day to ask whether they or someone else in their household has developed symptoms. The entire site shall undergo decontamination prior to resumption of work
2.1.8 Safe Transportation Guideline from COVID- 19 Transportation of goods and workers and the staffs is important for smooth operation of the site, at the same time it represents a threat as they are potential transmitters of the virus. In order to avoid the spread of the virus via transport and supply means, the following precautious measures must be taken:
Transportation of goods 1. Project site authority must ensure the disinfection of goods containers prior to arrival to the loading area. 2. All incoming and outgoing vehicles are sterilized by using detergents and disinfection sprays. 3. The driver is isolated directly in the decontamination zone. 4. Ensure that drivers move individually to disinfection zones. 5. Raise awareness and precautious measures among drivers on COVID-19. 6. Inform the Medical Team immediately if any health symptom appears on the driver in order to attend to necessary medical tests. 7. Awareness brochures on COVID-19 virus are distributed to all drivers. 8. All drivers must be given personal protection equipment which are kept in special box.
Transportation of workers/staff 1. Number of passengers in the vehicle should not exceed 50% of its capacity and should ensure zig-zag sitting arrangements.
7 2. Vehicles must be sterilized every day, in particular doors and windows, handles and all points of contact from inside and outside prior to each trip and after. DO NOT disinfect when passengers are in the vehicle. 3. Each passenger must follow hand-cleaning measures while using transport 4. The driver must disinfect themselves prior to each trip 5. Each vehicle should be provided with a hand-cleaning unit.
Drivers must wear PPE A special logbook must be used to document daily information about vehicle numbers and trips of all vehicle designated for workers’ transport from home to project site area and the respective return trips. The log must include the number of trips, times, and number of passengers of each trip. COVID-19 task team should ensure follow-up of all safety procedures.
2.2 Management Measures Outside Project Site Boundary 2.2.1 Protecting Workers at Community Level from COVID-19 Due to higher rents, most of the workers live in shared accommodation which poses a greater risk of getting infected by COVID-19 virus. Therefore, educate workers on how to protect their family members or people who they are living within the community or dormitory from COVID- 19.
There must be periodical inspections of workers quarters/accommodation with regard to hygiene, sanitation, house keepings and security. These worker quarters shall be out of bound to non-residents. These quarters shall be fenced off/barricaded and residents can only come in and go out through one specific gate control by security guards. Leave what is not necessary at work. Place work clothes in your dirty clothes bag or directly wash them when you get home. Disinfect your phone, name tag or ID card, eyeglasses and keys; Handle possibly contaminated items (footwear, work bag, work clothes) with care. Wash your work clothes and dirty clothes bag with detergent or soap Leave your work shoes outside the home. Keep your home clothes and shoes in a clean and washable bag, separate from your work clothes. Shower immediately after arriving home. Do not leave the house if it is for urgent reasons. Social gathering and face-to-face meeting in the neighbourhood should be avoided. Use simple social distancing tactics like replacing hugs and handshakes with alternatives like wave or smile.

2.3 Immediate Action Plan for COVID-19 Risk Awareness and Containment
Pamphlets in the local language on Dos and Dont's on COVID awareness and preventive measures should be distributed to all workers and primary and secondary stakeholders of the project. The display notices on COVID should be kept in prominent places with details about COVID in the project entrance and site locations with contact details The SMS message to all workers to be forwarded every day to all workforce inside the site about Covid awareness and alerts Public address systems to be installed at the site to alert all Entry restriction with the digital pass system by the security to be followed meticulously with SOP on the entry and exit process to the project area. Workers' residential camp should be equipped with all medical screening facilities and awareness programme to be initiated with educating the family members of workers. The restroom at the workplace/site should be used one by one and restricting the use of "one at a time only "by displaying g the board at the door as "Occupied" Besides, EPCC should plan and launch an awareness programme to the public to instil confidence to the public to meet the challenges of COVID-19 outbreak. This will help develop mutual trust as well as a stakeholder engagement programme.

2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING DEMOLITION PHASE Rubbles and dust raised from the demolition/ decommissioning of structures may affect the surrounding environment (air, water resources, landscape, agricultural lands etc.), flora, fauna and health of the surrounding communities. Besides, asbestos materials may be found from ancient structures which needs to be handled with special care. 2.1 Asbestos Assessment Procedure During demolition, if there are any suspecting materials which are likely to be asbestos material, proper sampling and testing will be carried out by qualified personnel & lab. Sampling will be carried out by the ENRG Tech and the lab test will be done in Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). Scanning Electron microscopy (SEM) is the only method which can detect and identify asbestos fibers. In general, samples for the SEM must be both dry and electrically conductive. Since SEM imaging involves bombarding a material with an electron beam, the surface of the sample (surface of filter paper) will accumulate charge if the electrons are not allowed to escape from the surface via a conductive path. Since the SEM uses an electron probe to scan in the image of our sample point-by-point, the diameter of the electron probe contributes to the resolution of that image. That is, the smallest feature we can resolve (image resolution) is limited by size of the electron beam at the sample. This test method covers a procedure to identify asbestos in filter paper which will be collected by high volume sampler. Sampling will be done by using Fine Particulate Dust Sampler Model: APM 154. After desiccating 24hr Filter paper S1 (sample1) and S2 (sample1) was brought to Institute of Fuel Research & Development, BCSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology, Bangladesh. Proper documentation / log sheets by authorized personnel will be maintained to determine which demolition area encounter ACMs and required mitigation measures for handling ACMs Samples taken and analyzed shall be recorded and the results will be kept as record for reporting purpose. The samples were collected on 23rd Sep 2020 by the ENRG Tech and they need around 20 days to do tests. The formal report is expected to be issued before 15th October. 2.2 Mitigation Measures for Handling Non-Asbestos Containing Materials 2.2.1 Site Security and Safety: The entry of unwanted people will be restricted in order to avoid any incident/accident while carrying out demolition activities. Only qualified and trained people having PPE will be allowed to be present at the demolition site. 2.2.2 Communication The EPC Contractor or its designated subcontractor(s) will inform nearby communities 5 days prior to the start of any demolition/ decommissioning activities. Local people will be engaged to do so. The local city corporation commissioner will be informed earlier so that the people in the vicinity are aware of the hazard/impact of demolition procedure.
Rupsha 800 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project 7
Demolition Plan, September 2020
2.2.3 Through Investigations The EPC Contractor or its designated subcontractor(s) will conduct thorough investigation of site and site history to identify potential risks and hazards to workers, local people and the environment. The Newsprint Mills authority will be consulted to know the details of building structures. Special attention will be given to know the presence of asbestos materials (if any). It is very likely that such old buildings were constructed using asbestos materials. 2.2.4 Reuse of Existing Soil The EPC Contractor or its designated subcontractor(s) will make sure use proper equipment/resources such as excavators, dump truck, hydraulic hammer so that the underground structures may be removed without major disturbance of the soil. If necessary, soil will be carefully removed and stored for subsequent works in land filling. Topsoil management shall comply with- - Site Specific Sediment Erosion and Control Procedure (ECP 6) - Topsoil Management (ECP 7)
Photo 2-1: Extraction of Underground Structures
2.2.5 Dust Control Strategies The EPC Contractor or its designated subcontractor(s) will ensure proper personal protective equipment including dust mask for the workers who will be involved for demolition works. In order to reduce dust water will be sprayed intermittently. The dump truck speed will be controlled for avoiding unwanted bumping while transporting dust materials. Dust control at site comply with Air Quality Management Plan (ECP 9) 2.2.6 Noise Management There is a running school at site area. Demolition activities close to school area will be handled carefully to avoid noise. All demolition activities shall comply with Noise and Vibration Management Plan (ECP 10)

2.2.8 Disposal, Recover, Reuse and Recycle of Salvaged Materials The EPC Contractor / its designated subcontractor(s) will dispose the concrete boulders in a designated place either by its own choice or at the area if Client wants to retain it. It is an objective of the contractor to facilitate some options (free of cost) for the people who wants to reuse the concrete boulders by crushing it into useful materials. The outsider people who wants to recover cut piece of rebar by breaking concrete boulders will also be encouraged. In all cases, proper safety and environment friendly procedure will be adopted. The recovered bricks will be stored at project area to reuse for future project activity including subbase of plant roads. Some rubbles have sent nearby BPDB project, they are using on road etc. Some materials will be sent to the Green Scape Ltd. Green space Ltd is a jute factory and produces jute bags. There was a down land in their plant and they use the CC blocks and brick chips to fill it. Management of the non-hazardous wastes (demolition debris containing non-ACMs) shall comply with the Waste Management Plan (ECP 1) 2.2.9 Preserve Sites of Archaeological, Religious or Cultural Interest where Possible At project area there is a mosque and a monument and graveyard. The monument will be kept as it is and shall be properly barricaded during demolition activities to prevent disturbance to this area. The mosque may be renovated or relocated as per desire of employer. The demolition activities shall comply with ECP 16: Cultural and Religious Issues

2.2.10 Others Key Plans This demolition plan will be a part of total Environmental Code of Practices. If there is some coordinating action(s) required to comply with other codes, the coordinating action(s) will be executed as per that code(s). 2.3 Mitigation Measures for Handling Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) There are structures which are as old as more than 50 years. As per ancient practices, there might be a chance that some asbestos materials were used in building structures. The EPC Contractor or its designated subcontractor(s) will be aware of finding such materials and will adopt below mentioned procedure to demolish and disposal of asbestos. For underground structures, floors around wood burning stoves may be protected with asbestos paper, millboard, or cement sheets. Also, asbestos may be found in some vinyl floor tiles and the backing on vinyl sheet flooring and adhesives. In case of suspecting any asbestos materials, the following mitigation measures will be taken in order to make sure avoidance of any health hazard. 2.3.1 Site Isolation Proper barricade and warning signs will be provided when working at the area with asbestos. Sample warning sign will be provided as below-

1.0 Executive Summary Rupsha 800MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project is owned by North-West Power Generation Company Limited, funded by Asia Development Bank, and EPC Contracted by Consortium of Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd. (Add: No.8 Xingyi Rd., Shanghai, China) and Ansaldo Energia S.P.A (Add:Via Nicola Lorenzi N.8, Genoa, Italy). Rupsha 800mw Project is located on the original address of Khulna Newsprint Mill, Khulna area. The purpose of this asbestos test is to verify whether the soil in the original site contains asbestos before the construction of Rupsha 800mw Project. This asbestos test is conducted by ENRG TECH on 22-23 September 2020 at two locations simultaneously by Fine Particulate Dust Sampler (Model: APM 154). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has been followed to detect asbestos fibers. The ambient samples were taken onto a Whatman glass cellulose membrane filters with a flow rate of 1.1 m3/min for 16 hours at two locations. According to the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image analysis with respect to black with 2.5 to 5 KX magnifying, asbestos is not found at all image of filter papers. 1.1 Asbestos at a glance Asbestos consists of several different complex silicate minerals; for example, chrysotile (white asbestos) is Mg3Si2O5(OH)4, with the less common blue (crocidolite) and brown (amosite) forms considered to be more hazardous, but these forms are generally in low concentrations compared with chrysotile. Asbestos is also a commercial term applied to particular silicate minerals. These minerals form in bundles as long and very thin mineral fibers, and are known to have high tensile strength, flexibility and resistance to: heat, chemicals, electricity. Asbestos refers to a group of naturally occurring, fibrous minerals. Asbestos was once widely used in building supplies and other consumer products. Old and brittle asbestos products can release tiny, even microscopic, fibers. These fibers can remain suspended in the air and enter your lungs when you inhale. Airborne asbestos fibers have no odor or taste. Asbestos containing material is not generally considered to be harmful unless it is releasing dust or fibers into the air where they can be inhaled or ingested.
1.2 Health Impact of Asbestos: Because it is so hard to destroy asbestos fibers, the body cannot break them down or remove them once they are lodged in lung or body tissues. They remain in place where they can cause disease. There are some primary diseases associated with asbestos exposure:
Asbestosis Lung Cancer Mesothelioma Pleural disease
R e p o r t o n A s b e s t o s t e s t a t R u p s h a 8 0 0 M W C C P P p r o j e c t ET-Page 2
1.2.1 Asbestosis
Asbestosis is a serious, chronic, non-cancerous respiratory disease. Inhaled asbestos fibers aggravate lung tissues, which cause them to scar. Symptoms of asbestosis include shortness of breath and a dry crackling sound in the lungs while inhaling. In its advanced stages, the disease may cause cardiac failure.
1.2.2 Lung Cancer
Lung cancer causes the largest number of deaths related to asbestos exposure. The incidence of lung cancer in people who are directly involved in the mining, milling, manufacturing and use of asbestos and its products is much higher than in the general population. The most common symptoms of lung cancer are coughing and a change in breathing. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, persistent chest pains, hoarseness, and anemia.
1.2.3 Pleural disease
Pleural disease is a non-cancerous lung condition that causes changes in the membrane surrounding the lungs and chest cavity (pleura). The membrane may become thicker throughout (diffuse pleural thickening) or in isolated areas (pleural plaques), or fluid may build up around the lungs (known as a pleural effusion). Not everyone with pleural changes will have problems breathing, but some may have less efficient lung function.
1.2.4 Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that most often occurs in the thin membrane lining of the lungs, chest, abdomen, and (rarely) heart. People who work in asbestos mines, asbestos mills and factories, and shipyards that use asbestos, as well as people who manufacture and install asbestos insulation, have an increased risk of mesothelioma. So do people who live with asbestos workers, near asbestos mining areas, near asbestos product factories or near shipyards where use of asbestos has produced large quantities of airborne asbestos fibers.
1.3 Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL)
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for asbestos is 0.1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air as an eight- hour time-weighted average (TWA), with an excursion limit (EL) of 1.0 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter over a 30-minute period. The employer must ensure that no one is exposed above these limits. 1.4 Methodology for Identify.
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is the only method which can detect and identify asbestos fibers. In general, samples for the SEM must be both dry and electrically conductive. Since SEM imaging involves bombarding a material with an electron beam, the surface of the sample (surface of filter paper) will accumulate charge if the electrons are not allowed to escape from the surface via a conductive path. Since the SEM uses an electron probe to scan in the image of our sample
R e p o r t o n A s b e s t o s t e s t a t R u p s h a 8 0 0 M W C C P P p r o j e c t ET-Page 3
point-by-point, the diameter of the electron probe contributes to the resolution of that image. That is, the smallest feature we can resolve (image resolution) is limited by size of the electron beam at the sample. This test method covers a procedure to: (a) identify asbestos in filter paper which already collected by high volume sampler. 1.5 Sampling Methodology: Sampling was done simultaneously by using Fine Particulate Dust Sampler Model: APM 154. After desiccating 16 hr filter paper S1 (sample1) and S2 (sample1) was brought to Institute of Fuel Research & Development, BCSIR, Ministry of Science & Technology, Bangladesh. Analysis of the sampling media (Filter papers, Sampling ID S1 & S2) for asbestos sampling methods is done by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Sampling location, reason for collecting two locations, demolition boundary as well as wind flow direction is shown in appendices.

Air quality dispersion model and air sampling for asbestos
Air quality models are used to predict ground level concentrations down point of sources. The object of a model is to relate mathematically the effects of source emissions on ground level concentrations, and to establish that permissible levels are, or are not, being exceeded. Models have been developed to meet these objectives for a variety of pollutants and time circumstances. In Gaussian models, the spread of a plume in vertical horizontal directions is assumed to occur by simple diffusion along the direction of the mean wind.
Gaussian Plume Model should not be applied under conditions of:
1. Low wind speed 2. Complex terrain 3. Spatial and temporal changes in meteorological parameters 4. Deposition and transformation (e.g. radiological decay) within the plume during travel
Reason f or two air sampling for asbestos: Air sampling for asbestos finding in two locations; one near building and another was open space. In the 16 hours air sampling, the pollutant or asbestos may be dispersed 0.2 to 20 kilometer depends on the wind speed. The sampling of open space was fixed due to air direction. If the building of sampling area is the source asbestos, it might be spread out at the direction of wind of the day of sampling. Two air sampling may be increased the accuracy of incidence to find out asbestos in the sampling location.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION METHODS /PROCEDURES
During development of the project, in order to meet Owner and consultant’s management requirements and fulfil contractual obligations, and ensure the successful completion of the project within the contract period, CPP has strictly established and implemented the project management methods and relevant procedures, to ensure project design management, construction and procurement progress, costs, quality, safety, environment protection and relevant works under control status.
CPP has paid attention to strengthen management for all project stages. The professional management team and experienced design personnel were organized within a short time in the prophase project. When the contract signed by us, EPC department was built by CPP immediately, and CPP head office specially arranged the experts to analyze project risks and develop management methods.
During development of this project, Document Management and Numbering Procedure was made by CPP to be applicable for the management and control of all the project documents’ preparation, submission, transmittal, achievements, cancellation, etc. Design and procurement personnel have made the management plans and procedures, that stipulated the overall work procedures, requirements, and standards. For example, the procurement procedure CCPP-PRO-PRC-0001_ Procurement Plan and Management Procedure, it covers all the procurement activities of purchasing, expediting, inspection, customs clearance, international and inland transportation and any other related services for all equipment and materials.
The complete QHSE system is necessary and important for project execution and successful closure. CPP had established the reasonable QHSE management system for this project, the main works for establishment of our QHSE system are including but not limited to preparation of management documentary, rules and regulations, execution of trainings, management and technical disclosures, progress control, supervisions and inspections, accidents reporting, survey, tracking and rectification, and other relevant methods and regulations.
The project had been completed by CPP and subcontractor in the successful outcome of “Zero injury”, “Zero Health” and “Zero Environmental incidents”. The detailed proofs are described in Attachment 1.
During execution of this project, CPP had strictly carried out construction management and progress control work throughout the whole construction progress and activities. The
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 2 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
main work did by CPP include but not limited to, joint review of drawings, technical disclosure for subcontractor, preparation and instruction for all related construction work, establishment and execution of construction procedures and methods, identification and measures of critical process and important task, construction inspections and rectifications, construction as-built hand over, etc.
All the project procedures and management plans/methods made by CPP and subcontractor had been achieved by the approval of consultant, Owner, relevant authorities and stakeholders. These approved documents and permissions fully provided necessary guidelines for all project works to ensure the smooth progress and control, as well as make sure all project activities can be in accordance with contract requirements and project actual demands. All the management procedures and methods, inspection reports, etc had been approved by all project parties and also satisfied with their high praise.
On the basic of site work completion, the construction site had already been handed over to Owner on September 10th, 2020.
MAIN CLOSURE WORK AND EXECUTION STATUS
Closure work shall mainly include site work completion and hand over, As-built drawings and documents hand over, left project materials hand over, final project settlement and confirmation, etc.
Up to September 10th, 2020, all the project site work had been successfully completed by CPP and our subcontractor, including but not limited to trenching, welding, NDT, coating, lowering, backfilling of pipeline, cleaning up & reinstatement of Row, CP systems, TEG installation, pigging, drainage, drying and commissioning of pipeline system, and relevant auxiliary works.
The execution status of critical site work and main closure work are detailedly described as follows:
Execution and Completion of Site Work
Post Hydrotest Work
Subsequent to the completion of hydrotest the pipeline was drained to normal pressure, cleaned and dewatered by passing of different types of pigs one after another. Passing of compressed air for hours together confirmed the dryness of pipeline interior surface. The pig launcher & receivers were disconnected and blind
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 3 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
flanges were fitted at the end of valves of Ø610mm & Ø508mm pipelines kipping the future provision for pigging, the temporary pig launcher at the “T “Point was replaced by a blind flange within pit where a Ø2” purging valve being kept. With the reconnection of a 10” insulating joint at the 225 MW CCPP RMS it was connected with the new Ø508mm pipeline via a Ø406mm valve and 406mm ND as lateral fabrication piece.
After hydrotest work, pipe pigging and drying had been implemented on July 22nd, 2020 in accordance with the above work progress. And the relevant inspection reports had been handed over to Owner as a part of As-built documents.
Preparation for Pipeline Commissioning
After pigging and drying work, according to project schedule and contract requirements, preparation of commissioning shall be implemented. CPP had commenced pre-commissioning of pipeline and relevant facilities under Owner’s approval and site supervision. Pursuant to the contract agreement, all the works in respect of pre-commissioning are completed, in the opinion of CPP and subcontract, the whole pipeline system is ready for commissioning. In view of the satisfied pre-commissioning work and site condition, CPP sent the letter “CCPP- CPP-NWPGCL-LE-0107_Notification of Commissioning and Requesting to Issue the Completion Certificate” to Owner on August 6th, 2020. According to contract agreement requirements, NWPGCL shall issue the completion certificate to CPP within 14 days as long as no rectification notification of defects and/or deficiencies from Owner. But up to September 29th, 2020, CPP still had not received the completion certificate.
Commissioning of Pipeline with Natural Gas
Due to the approval progress of PetroBangla, commissioning work was pending for a long time after pigging and drying. CPP and subcontractor put lots of effort to coordinate with the relevant local inefficient authorities. After getting the permission from gas supplier, we started to carry out commissioning work for the first time.
The main work rule is that pressure built up inside Ø610mm pipeline reaches about 5psig, then the 508mm ND line Valve at “T” Point will be crack opened to allow natural gas to flow into this branch line. Here, similarly natural gas will push a long line of nitrogen gas towards the 225MW CCPP end where gas-nitrogen
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 4 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
mixture will be purged out. When the outflow will be confirmed to be natural gas then purging will be stopped. The line pipe shall be pressurized up to 300psig along with Ø610mm source line.
Commissioning work had been successfully completed by CPP on September 3rd, 2020. The whole pipeline system run in good condition and all parameters keep normal, that shows commissioning work meets the design and contract requirements. And the relevant inspection reports had been handed over to Owner as a part of As-built documents.
Commissioning of CP System
A 25mm dia gas line is connected between 610mm ND gas main at 800MW CCPP inlet and TEG. On receipt of gas at TEG end it will be started with professional expert. The technical installation and commissioning team employed by CPP took two days to adjust the TEG output and to get sufficient CP coverage over the whole pipeline. The CP system was inspected by Owner and gas supplier representative on September 6th, 2020 before training.
The whole CP system including TEG and test posts work well and meet the quality requirements by inspection and application
Left Project Materials Hand Over
During execution of the project, CPP procure the needed project materials as per contract and the approval of design work. Because of the imperfection quantities in bidding documents, some design changes had been carried out by CPP under Owner and consultant’s approval and actual project demand. All the project materials purchased by CPP are within reasonable amount, limits and the requirements of contract, as well as professional standard.
The left project materials including but not limited to line pipe, bends and shrinking sleeves were handed over to Owner by CPP on August 22, 2020. Owner fully satisfied with the work and confirm for it by signing receipt list.
Information and Training
In order to ensure the safe running of the pipeline in the future, CPP organize the necessary training for Owner’s personnel and gas supplier’s representatives. The training contents mainly include how to reduce the impacts of local residents along
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 5 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
the pipeline; the detailed technical, operating and maintenance of pipeline system; how to do installation, operation and maintenance of CP system including TEG equipment.
CPP and RUSL visited the local occupiers of buildings, and organized some residents to conduct safety education and training together with the construction personnel, so that they could know how to deal with the emergency.
The training work had successfully been completed by CPP and RUSL on September 8, 2020 and made satisfied with NWPGCL and all participants and parties.
Picture 1 - Information and Training
Site Hand Over
After successful completing of pipeline commissioning and CP system commissioning, CPP had issued the letter “CCPP-CPP-NWPGCL-LE-0111_Regarding Site Handover & Demobilization and Issue the Operational Acceptance Certificate” to NWPGCL to notice that CPP have fulfilled all the contractual obligations and Owner shall receive all the facilities under the contract so that CPP can demobilize Immediately. NWPGCL confirmed the reception of site hand over and sign for CPP on September 10th, 2020.
As-Built Documents Hand Over
According to Owner and consultant’s requirements and the approved project procedure, all the needed as-built drawings and documents have been prepared
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 6 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
by CPP. On September 10, 2020, all the perfect printed and bookbinding as-built documents were packaged by CPP and handed over to Owner’s office in 225MW power plant. Owner fully satisfied with the work and sign to confirm for the as- built transmittal & receipt checklist. The required hand copies were handed over together with the corresponding soft copy.
Final Project Settlement
Final settlement belongs to a very important part for project closure. During execution of the project, CPP prepared the progress invoices as per monthly construction quantities and receipt certificate of procurement for requesting project payments. Even when all construction work has been completed and site been handed over, up to now, Owner still doesn’t release the progress payment and procurement cost since February of this year.
Moreover, due to the work change and the loss and faults in Owner’s bidding documents, some extra works beyond the contract have been done by CPP and subcontractor to fulfill the project actual demands and requirements. The relevant design changes are necessary and approval by Owner and consultant. Based on the above extra work and reasonable change, CPP prepared and submitted the reasonable project variations to Owner for claims of compensations. NWPGCL replied us that all the progress payments and variation payment shall be determined on the pending final project closure meeting.
PROJECT SUMMARIES
Project Challenges and Response
Contractor have overcome all kinds of difficulties, pressures and challenges, and accomplish the successful project completion under contract requirements.
a) Work Quantities Changes and Variations Some required work quantities in bidding document are unreasonable because of loss and/or not given. For example, the change and reduction of pipe route, the shortage of required materials, the extra work needed by actual demand, the necessary variations caused by unreasonable requests, the work quantities beyond the contract, etc.
CPP did our best to solve the above matters, and so many extra works and efforts we did, but the deserved payments and timely supports can not be received.
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 7 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
Even though we have to face the work inefficiency and unprofessional management, no timely approval and confirmation, loss-making extra work beyond the contract requirements, the stable and smooth progress were still accomplished by our professional ethics, reasonable analysis and design optimization, timely identification and report, and insist to complete in loss conditions.
Some detailed performances to deal with project change and variation are shown as follows:
CPP has to agree with the reduction of pipeline route changed from 13.5km mentioned in bidding documents into just actual 11km. CPP in a short time organized professional design team to lead and guide the local geological investigation and survey team. We took out the optimal design plan to help Owner to save lots of budgets.
CPP insisted to complete extra valve pits design and construction work without any profits confirmed by Owner.
In order to save the transportation time, CPP paid extra costs for changing the transportation method by air in spite of no any compensation from Owner.
CPP timely find out the missing and insufficient materials required in bidding documents, and take out the reasonable solution for purchasing the needed project materials.
b) Impact of COVID-2019 Because of COVID-2019 outbreak in Khulna city, local government implemented shut down policy with the aim of battling the spread of the coronavirus. During the period from March 25th to June 10th, our construction site was shut down, to make matters worse, our site was designated “RED ZONE” by local authority so that the deployment of manpower was restricted until the improved situation. The severe and bad situation caused by COVID-2019 made many unavoidable troubles for our project.
CPP and subcontractor had taken below actions to reduce the impact:
Strengthen the HSE management and purchase enough personal protective equipment; organize and coordinate enough construction from other relatively safe areas and gather the team by our own transportation instead of public traffic;
Doc. Title: Project Closure Plan and Report Page 8 of 9 RUPSHA 800MW COMBINED CYCLE POWER PLANT PROJECT
establish and execute the specific personnel isolation management at living and construction site; reduce the contact with local non-stuff; all project team do regular safety report, etc.
c) Impact of Rainy Season and Water Area The construction work is seriously influenced by rainy season, especially for welding work. Furthermore, due to the pipeline route change, the route from CGS starting point to KP004 fully distributes lots of canals, fishponds, rice fields, etc. All the work on the above section can not be done during rainy season because of high water level.
CPP made a reasonable construction schedule and coordination to reduce the impact of rainy season. During rainy season, the available construction and dry section work had been carried out for the first time. Dewatering method of sinking and pumping out had been done in a large amount in spite of cost increase and no compensation. Also, the rain-proof tools such as simple shed were made by construction personnel.
d) Local Authorities’ Work Inefficiency and Corruption The obvious impact of work inefficiency and corruption from local authorities restricted the project work throughout the whole period. Especially project execution work contains kinds of work interfaces and approval progresses. Contractor and subcontractor have put lots of efforts into push project progress forward and keep in stable status. We always did our best to coordinate with all parties with our active attitude in spite of profits losing and no any compensation.
Project Benefits/Prospects
CPP, as an experienced and professional contractor for our industry, has always been committed to provide our best service to our client. We devote to get a mutually-beneficial cooperation with our partner. Although CPP and subcontractor do not earn any money but lose lots of budgets in this project, we still have completed the project task as per contract requirements in the successful outcome of “Zero injury”, “Zero Health” and “Zero Environmental incidents”. The completion of our project will play an important role in supporting the impending arrival 800MW power plant, which can greatly improve the power shortage situation in Khulna city and the whole area.
