Constructions Management Plan

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

1.0 Introduction This is the Construction Management Plan for the demolition and construction activities located at 3-5 Baker Street. This document reflects traffic priorities, shared access routes, temporary diversions and signage it will be implemented, regularly reviewed and revised if required. It will also describe the techniques, equipment and plant, used during the contract.

The proposed scheme is the conversion of the unoccupied office buildings owned by The Crown Estate located at 3-5 Great Scotland Yard, London, WC1 into a 233-bedroom boutique economy hotel with restaurant, bar, meeting rooms and reception areas, and further hotel suite guestrooms in the adjoining 1 Great Scotland Yard.

The buildings are located on Great Scotland Yard, a street that links Whitehall and Northumberland Avenue, close to Trafalgar Square in central London. 3-5 Great Scotland Yard is a 1910 office building spread over 5 floors, built as the Central London Recruiting Office by the Office of Works. An atrium space and additional floor area were constructed within the original buildings courtyard in 1982 and it became the library for the Ministry of Defence until its relocation in 1999. 1 Great Scotland Yard is to the west of the building at 3-5. It is a Grade II listed building that stands set back from the street (following the line of an original terrace of dwellings). It is currently unoccupied having been in office use. This construction management plan seeks to outline the management of activities during the development period at 3-5 Great Scotland Yard and has been prepared in conjunction with advice from Westminster Council and Local Stakeholders. The project consists of demolition phase (approximately the first 6 months of the project) and a construction phase, the plan reflects this and incorporates the management plan as developed by the demolition Contractor 1.1 Proposed Development The project is to refurbish, convert and extend the existing office buildings at 3-5 Great Scotland Yard, London WC1 into a 233-bedroom boutique economy hotel with further guestroom suites in the adjoining 1 Great Scotland Yard.

The project includes the strip out and demolition of the existing building at 3-5 Great Scotland Yard with retained facades. The building will be extended with two levels of basement and two levels above the existing roof level, and refitted internally with new core circulation, floors and lightwell. The Grade II listed building at 1 Great Scotland Yard will be refurbished and a link opened up between the adjacent buildings.

The external facades are retained on the south elevation to Great Scotland Yard, the north elevation to Craigs Court and the east elevation to the lightwell against the police station. The north, south and east elevations will be extended upwards. The west elevation will be rebuilt. Two new stories will be added to the existing building height, including the top storey in a mansard roof with roof level plant and ecological features. The new elevations and lightwells are shown to coordinate with the materials and proportions of the existing building. The appearance will be in accordance with the Local Authority planning approval for 3-5 and Listed Building Consent for 1 Great Scotland Yard.

1.2 Site Layout The Construction Phase Logistic Management Drawing details the site layout through the demolition and construction phases.

2.0 Demolition Phase See Appendix B McGee Construction Management Plan

3.0 Construction Phase In terms of structure, the building comprises seven storeys of superstructure and two levels of new basement construction. 3.01 Sub-structure and Basement As described in the McGee Demolition Document on completion of the demolition works the site will be left with a hardcore piling mat. Both the bearing piling and secant piling operations will take place from the piling mat. The piling will be carried out under monitored conditions for vibration, movement and noise, real time monitoring of these activities will be carried out for the duration of these works. Given the ground conditions and the applied loading, piled foundations are to be adopted for the building. Multiple piles are considered to be a more flexible solution able to adapt to changes in layout if ground obstructions are encountered. Excavation of the basement will require temporary propping, the monitoring operation will continue for the period of these works. The decision has been taken to erect a crane during the demolitions and maintain this during the piling and sub-structure works. All loading and off-loading will take place from the dedicated loading bay. Excavations - Excavations will not start until underground services have been identified. McAleer and Rushe will follow guidance HSG 47 Avoiding danger from underground services whilst excavating. Services may need to be isolated or redirected and this will be determined after the service provider has been consulted. When excavations take place in order to remove existing underground services, such as, gas or oil then the service provider will be contacted. Service drawings will be obtained by the site and services will be isolated before excavating and removal take place. Trenches or excavations will be backfilled as quickly as possible to minimise the number of open hazards throughout the site. Weekly inspections of excavations will be carried out and recorded in the inspection register kept on site. Excavations will be shored using an appropriate system following a risk assessment based on: Depth of excavation Ground conditions Proximity of adjacent structures temporary bracing may need employed Existence of the services in the excavation

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

3.02 Super-structure The basement and ground floors are to be constructed in reinforced concrete. The upper floor construction is currently a steel frame with consideration being given to a concrete frame. Again all loading and off-loading will be carried out by the tower cranes and the tower cranes will be serviced via the dedicated loading bay. 3.03 Facade The greater percentage of the facade exists and is of brickwork construction, the main work on the elevations is general repair work, this work will be carried out from a scaffold erected inside the retention structure. Both the faade retention structure and scaffolding will be erected during the demolition works and will remain in place until the structural frame and faade works are complete. 3.04 General working Practices A Traffic Marshall dressed in an orange hi visibility jacket and complete with 2 way radio will escort all lorries in and out of site, particular care will be taken during reversing operations. Lorries will enter and leave the site via the loading bay located in the side street to the West of the property. Lorry wheels will be washed down on a hard standing area before leaving site, the hard core / concrete standing will be replaced as required so that wheel cleaning is kept to a minimum. Roadways will be Jet Washed regularly, should the need arise a road sweeper will be utilised to clean the exit to the site and surrounding Roads. If necessary to avoid congestion in Great Scotland Yard Lorries will be held in an off site location or holding area. To keep other contractors and visitors away from the demolition works a demolition exclusion zone will be formed separating it from the remainder of the site works by a Heras Fenced barrier at a distance in accordance with BS 6187:2000 Clause 13, carrying signs indicating that demolition work is being carried out within it. All walkways/ pavements will be kept clear of debris and/or material to prevent slips, trips and fall hazards. Warning signs will be displayed in prominent positions around the site and work area indicating CAUTION CONSTRUCTION SITE TRAFFIC. For the delivery of heavy plant, this will be coordinated with the local police via movement orders, the delivery of these are typically during quiet hours to avoid presenting disruption to local traffic. All vehicular traffic after leaving or entering the site will take due regard to all other road users and pedestrians. All drivers will be given a site specific induction on first arrival on site; this is to ensure that everyone understands the site traffic requirements and precaution to prevent injury. When lorries are reversing onto site they will be fitted with an audible alarm and be directed by a Banksman Site plant i.e. excavators, diggers etc, will only be driven by persons that are trained and competent with the appropriate qualifications. Prior to works starting all personnel will be given a site specific induction and orientation to the site, this will be conducted by the site manager who will advise personnel on any specific safety requirement that are required during the course of the project. Plant equipment will not be offloaded onto the public highway, it will be reversed on to site by a banksman and unloaded.

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

The site does not have sufficient space available for onsite parking and therefore visitors and site staff will have to make suitable parking arrangements elsewhere that will not cause disruption to local stakeholders or Westminster City Council. All flat back lorries will have edge protection for operatives safety when working on the bed of the lorry. Should there be a requirement for emergency vehicular access, these vehicles will be given priority over all other traffic both on or off site.

3.05 Access arrangements for vehicles servicing the site Delivery vehicles will access the site via the route as indicated in the map below.

Access to site It is planned that the one way traffic system set up for the demolition phase will also be maintained in Great Scotland Yard during the construction phase of the project. All vehicles entering Great Scotland Yard will do so from the East of the site from Northumberland Avenue. As shown on the detailed logistic plan vehicles making deliveries to the site will reverse into the loading bay located in the side road on the West side of the site. As indicated on the map below all site vehicles will turn right out of the loading bay and travel West down Great Scotland Yard towards Whitehall. The junction between Whitehall and Great Scotland Yard is a traffic light controlled junction, although this provides suitable control we will still encourage construction site traffic to turn left onto Whitehall.

Page 6

Constructions Management Plan

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

Egress from site Heavy plant and vehicles will not be allowed to park or build up on Whitehall or Northumberland Avenue. A professional logistic management company will be employed on site to manage the all deliveries and vehicle movements. The key member of the logistics team is the logistics manager, all vehicles will be booked in with the logistics manager prior to arrival on site and have times and dates agreed. The logistics personnel and Banksmen will direct the vehicle when arriving and leaving the site. Vehicles are not to be reversed in construction areas unless under the control of an authorised banks man. Only authorised personnel; i.e. plant operators, banks-men/slingers truck drivers will be allowed in areas of machine/plant activity. Due to the tight constraints within the site all vehicles will load unload within the zone to the South side of the property. 3.06 Tower Crane Operations The tower crane(s) erected on the site will be managed by a dedicated team of Crane Supervisor, Banksmen, Drivers and relief Drivers. The cranes will be luffing Jib tower cranes to avoid oversailing issues. On the erection of a second crane both cranes will be fitted with anti-collision devices. 3.07 Vehicle Cleaning Powered jet washes will be provided for wheel washing of all vehicles leaving the site to reduce the impact on the surrounding road network

3.08 Road Sweeping Public Highways and other publicly accessible roads are to be kept clear of mud at all times. Vehicles leaving the construction site will be cleaned before joining the highway to minimize the spreading of mud and dust onto the surrounding roads. As a minimum road sweeping will be provided and shall be used on all public roads used by site traffic within 500m of the site entrances. Roads outside of this will be monitored and inspected and road sweeping will be undertaken where required. Highway cleaning operations will be undertaken in line with the Considerate Constructor Scheme.

3.09 Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety Construction traffic poses a potential risk to pedestrians and cyclists safety, particularly when entering and exiting the site. The safety of pedestrians and cyclists will be ensured by the use of banksmen during all periods of operation at the site. Professional banksmen will supervise all arrivals and departures of construction traffic. Traffic movements will be co-ordinated such that the arrival of vehicles is staggered to ensure that there is no overhang of vehicles All pedestrian personnel will enter and exit the site through a clearly signed and supervised security gate leading into No. 1 Great Scotalnd Yard where security and welfare facilities will be provided, there will also be a seperate Pedestrian Gate In Craigs Court. Pedestrians must sign in and out upon entering and leaving the site, no matter how many times they leave and re-enter the site each day. There will be a pedestrian emergency exit into Craigs Court. A safe walkway will provide safe access to the work area, keeping operatives away from plant/delivery operations as much as possible. This will be supervised rigorously by site management. Relevant signage will be erected and site personnel will be informed of the site traffic plan during induction. Sight lines, particularly those on the approach to the site entrance will be maintained unobstructed. Signage warning traffic of the construction site and heavy plant crossing will be erected on approaches to the site entrance/exit. 3.10 Plant & Machinery The Company will ensure that all plant delivered to site is in good working order, in a safe condition, and that in relation to lifting appliances and tackle, has been thoroughly examined within the defined statutory period and has a current test certificate. Daily inspections will be recorded on a pro-forma record sheet and weekly inspections will be recorded in the PUWER and LOLER register for machines and lifting tackle. All excavators that lift structural sections and other items will be deemed to be lifting appliances for the purposes of statutory inspections. The site management team will be responsible for ensuring that when not in use each item of plant and equipment is suitably immobilised and secured so as to prevent unauthorised use or interference. All plant operatives must be competent, trained and be able to provide relevant qualifications for the item of plant they are operating. With regards to foreign plant operatives who do not have a U.K. recognised training certificate or skills card, McAleer and Rushe will contact CITB to arrange a competency assessment for that driver. All dumpers, excavators and cranes will have either a CCTV or convex mirror fitted for all round vision. All excavators, used as lifting equipment, should be fitted with Check Valves and equipped with fire extinguishers and spill kits. Quick hitch pins and retaining clips will be used at all times. Telehandlers will have all protective screens intact prior to being used; this is due to the hydraulic boom being positioned in close proximity to the operators cab. If the screen is missing and the operator has any body parts outside of the cab then the boom could potentially dismember limbs. All lifting equipment used in lifting operations will be accompanied by appropriate Test certificates and undergo Thorough Examinations every 12 months. Lifting accessories such as chains/slings must be Thoroughly Examined every 6 months. Each item of lifting equipment put in place for the duration of the works must be appropriately tested and thoroughly examined prior to use. The records for all subcontractors plant on site will be handed in at the weekly safety review meeting. These will be filed and available for inspection. All records for plant owned or hired by McAleer and Rushe will be held on site and will be regularly updated by the Plant Department

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

3.11 Storage of Materials Materials will be stored within the designated areas as agreed. Hazardous materials will be securely stored to prevent access by unauthorised persons and other materials will be stored/stacked in a safe and secure manner. Continual monitoring of the site will be undertaken to control the amount of debris around the site. Good housekeeping practices will be adopted to control waste and ensure debris is disposed of appropriately. Contractors must ensure that the timing of waste collection must be so arranged to prevent nuisance, hazard or obstruction of the street for prolonged periods and be made at a reasonable hour. McAleer and Rushe will manage this locally and all contractors will be informed of these requirements. Material deliveries will be off loaded from within the site boundaries, stored and stacked safely. Vehicles will be guided by a banksman / signaller to the off-loading area and only authorised personnel e.g. slingers and telehandler operators, will have access to this area. Contractors will be advised to adopt appropriate control measures when decommissioning and removing unidentified pipes in low levels of the building due to the potential presence of flammable substances both liquid and/or gaseous representing a hazard both to safety and to fire. McAleer and Rushe will bring this to the attention of the Demolition Subcontractors and ensure that these hazards are outlined within the RAMS for demolition.

3.12 Working at Heights The Company will adopt a variety of safe working methods when working at height. The exact methods will be outlined in method statements produced by the site management team in consultation with the Project Manager. An appointed member of the site management team will ensure that weekly inspections are carried out on working platforms, i.e. scaffold, ladders, etc. Internal work at height will be achieved by means of mobile alloy towers, properly erected by PASMA trained scaffolders. 3.13 Formwork Formwork will be designed by a competent designer who will issue the designs to the contractor and sign off ensuring that it is fit for purpose. Formwork will be erected by a competent contractor. All formwork erectors constructing and erecting table formwork for slabs, column boxes and shuttering for sheer walls, will be experienced operatives, informed by their supervisor of the safe system of work, particularly when working at height and will be adequately supervised at all times. McAleer and Rushe will adopt a stringent system of checking formwork procedures from method statements and risk assessments to sign off sheets. This will be carried out by the onsite management team in conjunction with the relevant subcontractor. All requisite paperwork in accordance with legislation will be submitted by the subcontractor at the weekly safety review meeting on a weekly basis.

3.14 Parking No parking other than delivery or service vehicles will be permitted on site. No vehicles other than authorised site vehicles shall be permitted to access beyond the Site Office compound onto the construction Site.

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

Parking shall not be permitted on public roads where access or egress to buildings or houses will be affected. Statutory bodies plant / equipment shall be kept clear and accessible at all times e.g. fire hydrants. The parking in the immediate area is controlled by City of Westminster. McAleer and Rushe are aware of the parking restrictions in the area and their implication for short term parking for delivery of equipment etc. The area is well served by Public Transport.

3.15 Electrical Equipment/Supplies All portable electrical appliances used on site will be powered with a 110v supply and will be inspected/tested in accordance with the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations. Temporary supplies will be installed and tested by a competent electrical contractor to the recognised standard. Site huts will be electrically inspected and tested approximately every twelve months.

3.16 Electricity Supply A generator or temporary mains supply will be available on site and transformers will be installed to provide a 110 volt supply for portable electrical appliances, generally on each floor. These transformers will be inspected by a competent person before first use and subsequently on a weekly basis to ensure electrical safety, the results of those inspections being recorded in the site office. Welfare facilities and offices will be provided with a safe 240V electricity supply, protected by RCD devices.

3.17 Electrical Appliances Only 110-volt electric or battery powered tools will be used on site. All component parts will be colour coded yellow for easy identification. Special allowances may be made for the use of higher voltage appliances, but Residual Current Devices (RCDs) or other precautions must be in place before approval can be granted for their use. Portable electrical appliances will be inspected regularly; PAT (Portable Appliance Tested) every three months and certified that they comply with industry standards. Extension leads must be placed where they cannot be damaged or cause a tripping hazard. Damaged or defective equipment will be replaced or taken out of service until repairs have been carried out.

3.18 240V Energised Circuits, pre-completion The electrical contractor will test and commission electrical installations as and when necessary. Only competent, experienced electricians will carry out this work under the supervision of the electrical foreman or Contracts Manager. Prior to operations they will formulate Risk Assessments and Methodology specific to their works. The electrical contractor will liaise with McAleer & Rushes Site Manager when this operation is being carried out as systems will be energised. The electrical contractor will display warning signage in clearly visible locations in areas under test. Once testing is complete, systems will be de-energised and the lockout systems re-instated. As and when mains power supply is required, McAleer & Rushe Ltd. will issue a written request for the electrical contractor to energise the required installations. The sequence for energising floor levels will be pre-determined after discussions with interested parties.

3-5 Great Scotland Yard

Access to Switch Rooms will be restricted. Trades / operatives requiring entrance to this area must gain permission via a Permit to Work from the Site Manager in consultation with the electrical contractor prior to carrying out any work. A specific Risk Assessment for these works must be carried out and a safe system of work implemented. The electrical contractor will specify a key-holder who will open the door on production of the Permit to Work. They will only permit work to be carried out if they are satisfied that conditions are safe and that the Switch Board is locked out. Instruction from the electrical contractor must be complied with. Even though 240v power will be available, operatives working in energised areas will only use 110v electric tools powered from a transformer connected to the mains or suitable generator. Safe procedures will be communicated to contractors at the Site Safety Meeting and during a Tool Box Talk given by contractors to their operatives. 3.19 Bus Stand Suspension As detailed in the site logistics plan the one way traffic order will require the suspension of the Bus Stand opposite the site. 3.20 Temporary Footway & Lane Closure: To facilitate the demolition and construction of the building an external faade retention scheme is required this will be located on the footway and highway adjacent to the South boundary of the site. To facilitate this Great Scotland Yard will become a one way street and the lane and footway adjacent to the site will be closed, this will be carried out under a temporary traffic management order on Great Scotland Yard. The loading bay will also require a road closure of the side street on the West side of the site directly in front of No.1 Great Scotland Yard. Access for deliveries to the Public House and McDonalds will be maintained adjacent to the loading bay. It is expected that these arrangements will remain in place for the entire period of the demolition and construction works. 3.21 Proposed Hoarding & Security The site will require the erection of a hoarding which will be constructed from plywood and will be 3.0m high, the final design for this will be agreed with Westminster. The layout of the proposed hoarding can be seen on the accompanying drawing in the appendices. The site will be guarded by a 24hr security guard and if appropriate CCTV cameras will be installed on the perimeter hoarding. The Security Guard will man the main access point, access to the site will be achieved by signing in through and electronic hand scanner. 3.22 Westminster Highways Inspector Through discussions with Westminster it has been agreed that the project will pay for a dedicated highways inspector for the scheme. The highways inspector will ensure that the site is managed in line with the agreed traffic orders and that the site is maintained and managed to the required standards. Local Stakeholders will have access to the Highways inspector ensuring that any issues are dealt with immediately.

To work on the project all sub-contractors are expected to have a working knowledge of all relevant Acts and Regulations (some of which are listed below) and so be able to promote, stimulate and encourage a high standard of health and safety during their work:

Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 The Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 Construction (Head Protection) Regulations 1989 Manual handling Operation Regulations 1992 Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 Construction (Design Management) Regulations 2007 Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences (RIDDOR) Regulations 1995 Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 Health and Safety (Enforcing Authority) Regulations 1998 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

Both of the above lists are not exhaustive. Health and Safety Guidance MAR shall maintain an updated copy of Construction Site Safety Safety Notes GE-700 (CITB Publication) and Successful Health & Safety Management (HSE Publication) which provides guidance on construction activities, use of plant and equipment and PPE, etc. This publication shall be readily referred to by the Site Manager as and when additional information is required in respect of associated activities (e.g. working with asbestos). Specific health and safety issues relating to the site shall be dealt with by the Construction Health and Safety Plan which shall be maintained throughout the project commencement and shall be updated as required.

A Construction Health and Safety File shall be prepared and submitted upon the completion of the construction phase in accordance with the CDM Regulations 2007.

4.0 General 4.01 Proposed Working Hours & Construction Period Access to site will be between the hours of 0800 and 1800hrs Monday to Friday and 0800 to 1300hrs on Saturday. No works are expected to take place on Sunday. The whole demolition and construction process is scheduled to be undertaken within a 107 week programme. 4.02 Public Consultation Consultation has already taken place with local stakeholders. McAleer & Rushe will also keep the local stakeholders and public updated via the circulation of monthly newsletters. These newsletters will provide information relating to the site detailing, progress, programme for the next month and contact details in the event that they have any concerns or difficulties. During the construction phase information will be provided on a regular basis to all people living in the immediate vicinity of the site. 4.03 Local Stakeholders There is in the immediate proximity, neighbouring buildings whose daily activities vary but could be impacted with the works. In particular, the neighbouring building occupied by the mounted police division and there is a need for consideration due to the presence of working horses in the direct vicinity of the works. Such provisions that will need to be catered for are: Welfare of the animals Consideration of the work sequences of the horses Timing for quiet works Consideration of vibration transfer through the mediums Entry and Exit times of the horses when on duty Horse Box space to the front Awareness of the workforce as to the requirement of the consideration for the horses

To the west elevation there are two neighbouring buildings whose close proximity may have a bearing on the method of construction. They are both commercial and include a pub and McDonalds Fast Food restaurant. The access road does not contribute to either premises as a primary or a main pedestrian entrance to the businesses but the access road does provide for deliveries to both. It allows for the entrance to the cellar for the pub, and a rear door for the McDonalds restaurant. It is understood that the building directly opposite is the DECC and it is maintained that there will be no impact on them accessing their rear doors.

4.04 Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) McAleer & Rushe will register the scheme with the CCS and it is within our own standards to target a score of between 34 and 36

4.05 Site Impacts Minimising Impacts on Local Environments Construction, by its very nature, has the potential to cause many negative environmental impacts upon the local environment. All neighbours will have concerns about the impact that construction works will have on their lives. It is fair to say that most peoples concerns will be regarding the cleanliness of the project and the potential for noise that is associated with construction projects. It is, therefore, recommended that daily visual checks are carried out to determine if the site could be considered a nuisance. These checks should be recorded and rapidly dealt with, the following list, although not full and final - asks questions of the kinds of impacts that should be considered: Is the site and surrounding area tidy and free of visual intrusion? Are footpaths and roads kept clean and free of obstruction? If you were a local resident is there anything that would annoy you? Are measures being implemented to keep the air clean i.e. reduce dust? Are there areas close to the site at higher risk such as flora, fauna and water courses? Can noise be limited or eliminated?

By understanding this concept each member of the construction workforce can help ensure that they are the first to identify areas that have the potential to cause concern to local residents and businesses. Monitoring Site Impacts As noted above construction activity has the potential to cause nuisance, or even harm, from environmental disturbance such as noise, vibration and dust. Such issues are often a cause for concern to the Local Authority, the projects neighbours and the public at large. Whilst mitigation measures can be adopted to minimise nuisance, it is also important to conduct environmental monitoring to measure site performance in relation to baseline data and to ensure agreed noise levels are not exceeded. Dust and Vibration Dust is often the most notable nuisance when it comes to negative construction impacts. Unlike noise and vibration dust remains long after the operation that caused it has ceased. In addition to its unsightliness dust can be damaging to health as well as detrimental to property. Given the location of the project it will be necessary to adopt robust procedures for dealing with this issue. Dry spells during the summer months are the most likely times of year where dust can become a nuisance not least because of the lack of moisture to dampen down particles stopping them from becoming airborne. This will, therefore, require a monitoring and management regime to be employed by site staff. Where practicable it should be considered that any potentially dusty works are to be carried out during the most suitable weather conditions. Site management will be best placed to plan these works with due consideration for the local surroundings but will also have a range of tools at their disposal for managing any dust generated. Minimising dust is the best way to avoid any issues arising and this can be done by simply employing a vigorous housekeeping regime that uses an absorbent sweeping compound such as Dusmo. The use of water, wet vacs, mechanical sweepers and vacuum cleaners may also be used as an effective way of keeping dust to a minimum.

Vibration is to be monitored to demonstrate compliance. To aid this, a baseline survey is undertaken and used to measure all works to evaluate their impact.

Managing Site Impacts Controls for day to day issues affecting the local environment will include:Dust Suppression stand pipes with shower head hoses should be available around critical areas of the project. Hose heads shall be spring loaded to ensure that water cannot be left running whilst unattended. Maintaining road cleanliness Cleanliness of the site perimeter hoardings shall be cleaned regularly to help maintain the sites tidy image. Provisions for inclement weather grit bins shall be available and positioned at the site gate and be filled with salt grit which can then be used for the purpose of snow clearance and frost prevention / removal. Pest control the provision of adequate means into which canteen and office waste can be deposited will greatly reduce the possibility of attracting vermin but will not entirely negate the need for a suitable pest control regime. Spill kits spill kits for use on site in the event of a spillage shall be readily available. These kits should be located at areas of the project which post the most significant risk. In this instance we recommend that they be placed at the vehicle gate plus the nominated fuel storage zone and the main vehicle unloading are.

5.0 Site Accomodation & Welfare The decision has been made to utilise No.1 Great Scotland Yard for the provision of site accommodation and welfare facilities. When the construction process is sufficiently advanced additional site accommodation will be provided within the new building structure.
