Everyone plays a part in keeping our waterways clean.
At all times, Contractors shall ensure that all activities at the construction sites do not cause silty discharge to waterways.
Useful Reminders and Links
1. Ensure that the price for Earth Control Measure (ECM) is adequately reflected in the tender (refer to Sample Tender Specifications)
2. Engage a Qualified Erosion Control Professional (QECP) to design and implement ECM
3. Provide all project information to QECP (i.e., work sequence, site terrain, soil profile, existing and proposed services alignment) for proper design of ECM
4. Obtain ECM approval from PUB and work with QECP to implement ECM before starting earthwork
View the ECM Submission Guidelines, ECM Guidebook and Code of Practice on Surface Water Drainage
5. Carry out a joint ECM audit check with QECP using the ECM site audit form to review the adequacy of implemented ECM upon starting earthworks, with proper documentation (ECM site audit form should be duly signed by the Contractor and QECP)
6. Adopt ECM Best Practices on site at all times
Developers own the site and at all times, shall ensure that all activities at the site do not cause silty discharge to waterways.
Useful Reminders and Links
1. Form in-house ECM committee to address earth control matters and adopt ECM Best Practices
2. Engage a Qualified Erosion Control Professional (QECP) to oversee all ECM matters
3. Incorporate detailed design specifications and costing for ECM requirements in project tender (refer to Sample Tender Specifications)
4. Audit ECM at development sites and/or require regular ECM reports from contractors
Qualified Erosion Control Professionals (QECPs) are professional engineers engaged by developers/contractors of a development to design and supervise the implementation of ECM at construction sites.
Useful Reminders and Links
1. Design ECM plan, taking into consideration the sequence of construction works and site conditions (i.e. site terrain, soil profile, existing and proposed services alignment)
For calculation of soil erodibility factor, refer to Soil Erodibility Chart
2. Provide detailed ECM plan for contractor to submit to PUB for approval
View the ECM Submission Guidelines and ECM Drawing Guidelines
3. View the Self-declaration Criteria for eligibility for ECM self-declaration
4. View the ECM Guidebook
