    This document provides a method statement for launching prestressed I beams at RB 014 between Pier 2 and Abutment 2 for the Electrified Double Track Ipoh-Rawang project. It outlines the materials, manpower, equipment, sequence, and safety precautions for the beam launching. The key steps are to conduct surveys of the supports, place bearing pads, use mobile cranes and launching trusses to move the beams into position between the pier and abutment, and immediately brace the beams after launching for stability and safety until subsequent work is completed. Health and safety measures include line block, briefings, equipment checks, fall protection, and barricades to control access.
