Construction Method Statement and Logistics Information — Condition 12 Site: 4 Woodcote Valley Road, Purley, Croydon CR8 3AG The construction of INo one bedroom and 10No two bedroom flats and associated works Construction Methods Note: All works will be approved in accordance with related method statements and risk assessment of the associated trade, Demolition incl preliminary work The site currently consists of a large 2 storey house which will be demolished with the use of the following: Ino 20ton demolition excavator Various hand tools Dust protection (debi netting) and dust suppression (water hoses) All necessary measures have been taken in protecting the public and local residents, There are detailed surveys of the existing services together with decommissioning and appropriate ‘method statements, will be established in conjunction with the requirements of the development. These will be agreed with respective utility companies and authorities at an early stage and in advance of demolition activities, Itis envisaged that all preliminary works (i. tree protection, hoardings and asbestos removal) will be complete prior to the main demolition. The proposed site will be hoarded and secured prior to Demolition activities commence, Site access will be assessed and appropriate safe routes established for vehicles removing demolition materials from the During the demolition stages, the use of ‘deconstruction’ techniques and methodologies to prevent excessive noise, vibration and dust will be used to minimise disruption to the neighbours. Fine sprays will be used to minimise dust migration, together with wheel washing and management of debris/stockpiles. Noise generation, particularly during demolition, is a key consideration, The management and use of main plant and machinery will be strictly controlled, well maintained, baffled and switched off when not inuse. Any hazardous substances such as asbestos containing materials will be removed by a ina safe and controlled environment. nnsed contractor Demolition work in affected buildings will be commenced only after such materials are removed. ‘Materials arising from demolition and excavation operations will be reused wherever possible on.the site or recycled for use elsewhere, Materials unsuitable for reuse will be disposed of at appropriate landfill sites. Excavation and Piling (if piling required) Reduced level excavation dig If It is envisaged that piled foundations be required then the use of continuous flight augered piles favoured over driven piles to minimize noise and vibration effects. Muck-away lorries will be used to remove material arising from the pile borings followed by deliveries of concrete and reinforcement to form the piles. ‘The use of demolition hardcore will be considered for piling platforms. Reinforced concrete ground beams will be used Frame Construction Construction framed lower ground floor building with concrete slab. Brick and block walls with precast conerete slab infills to upper floors. Mobile cranes will be used to erect precast floors distributing formwork and other trades materials onto, around, and off the site. Concrete will be delivered using ready mixed concrete trucks and distributed using mobile concrete pumps. Envelope Its intended that the envelopes of the proposed buildings will use a variety of systems including traditional masonry, rendered blockwork and glazing Construction Traffic, Site Access & Ofloading Management and co-ordination of construction traffic and deliveries, including provision of designated parking, off-loading areas and storage compounds, will be provided within the site to avoid vehicles queuing along the road causing conflict with other vehicles or accessing the neighbouring residential area ‘Where required, the Police ancl Highways Authority will be consulted on these and other traffic management issues, including future periods of high construction traffic movement all vehicles leaving the site will be subject to a wheel-washing regime Designated areas within the site will be identified for site accommodation and welfare facilities for construction workers. Where possible these will be located close to the relevant work site. Safety and Security All entry points to the particular site will be gated ‘The site hoarding will be uniformly constructed and regularly maintained. The Position of the hoarding line will remain unchanged throughout the various stages of construction. ‘Communication Regular appropriate notices will be provided to local residents and statutory bodies during construction, Sustainable Construction Wherever possible, sustainable forms of construction will be used. Emphasis will be placed on the use of recycled materials or materials from renewable sources. Procedures to minimise waste will also be implemented bases on our site waste management plan. Summary All construction sites have the potential to cause temporary nuisance and disruption to other users of the site, neighbouring properties, car users and pedestrians in the locality of the works. Consequently, various mitigation measures will need to be addressed and incorporated, as appropriate, into the design, construction programme and sequence of work in order to minimise the residual impacts of the following: Noise, vibration, dust and odours. Vehicle/plant emissions, Off-site traffic — congestion. Restrictions on pedestrian access - walkways, footpaths and roads Exposure of the workforce and others to deleterious/hazardous materials, including asbestos. Contamination of water courses.
