Site Layout & Traffic Plan

Location

Site address: Norbury Manor Business Enterprise College, Kensington Avenue, Thornton Heath, Croydon CR7 8BT. The new block will be constructed on the existing hard play area. The construction site is bounded by green playing field on the north and east side which are part of the school ground, public footpath and Norbury park on the west, and existing school building on the south. The residential properties are located on the north and east of school boundary and adjacent to the site access.

Site Setup and Logistic

In order to meet not only our obligations in respect of CDM, Health and Safety and duties as a Considerate Constructor it will be necessary for Apollo to afford a fully functional and compliant temporary site accommodation arrangement as part of our site setup. Prior to commencement on site, the site setup will include perimeter site hoarding equipped with appropriate safety and way- finding signage, lighting installation, and set of site gates for vehicle entrance and another set for pedestrian access to be established.

Apollo will utilise the existing emergency access off Green Lane as site access and egress during the construction works. A robust segregation system will be implemented, maintained and monitored at all time.

The perimeter safety segregation system, i.e ‘Heras’ fencing, is to be erected and equipped with appropriate safety and way-finding signage. Clearly defined access routes will be defined both within the site and the surrounding school grounds in accordance with our management plan and with particular attention to the segregation of pedestrians, plant and vehicles. The delivery, storage and distribution of materials will form part of this plan. In addition, a safety route plan along with fire escape route plan and full site information notices will be provided in accordance with our commitment under the CCS.

As the works are to be carried out in the occupied school ground of Norbury Manor Business Enterprise College within a residential area and public walk way, it is imperative that during the

(2)

contract period, Apollo will maintain good communication with all parties by having a weekly logistic meeting to discuss and determine the logistic plan, future deliveries, future works and safety and fire escape routes around the site.

Operating such a measure will mitigate any impact over the entire length of the scheme that site vehicle and plant movement will have on the existing environment, allowing the security of the site to be maintained at all times.

Site Accommodation

Having reviewed the tender documentation and carried out a site visit, Apollo will propose to establish the site accommodation and site compound on the existing parking bay at emergency access route by protected trees. As a minimum, the site accommodation will comprise of a site office with meeting room, drying / changing room, W.C and canteen / dining area and store.

Temporary utilities are to be established prior to the erection of the site accommodation. For temporary utilities, Apollo will establish a temporary service run and connect to the existing whenever feasible. If the connection to the existing is not feasible, Apollo will provide a new temporary service run from the proposed site compound area and make a connection to the main services.

The barrier will be

removable to permit both foot and vehicle passage of the residents and will be removed upon completion of each working day, and re erected the following working day.

6. It is proposed to erect a line of Heras fencing on the ‘construction access / egress road, parallel to the adjacent boundary of 189 Green Lane to mitigate the risk of damage to the boundary wall / fence.

12. At the Junction of the Fire Gates and Green Lane a dedicated person employed by Apollo is to be stationed in addition to the Gate’s person located at the point of entry onto site (existing school gates) with radio controlled communications to ensure that no vehicles are parked up or held on the public highway or held within the access road i.e. vehicles straight through into the site confines.
