Methodology

 All personnel entering the site shall have received a site safety induction
and have attended a job toolbox talk.
 Joint patterns will be agreed for each area of work. These joints shall be
set out by measuring from pins at 10m intervals. Site engineers shall
undertake the levelling for each layer on these joints.
 Placing of bituminous materials will be carried out using self-propelled
pavers, equipped with automatic leveling controls. Extending screeds will
be used on all materials and lane width.
 Material will be delivered to site in covered wagons ensuring the material
temperature is maintained.

 Material will be delivered to the workface and discharged into the paver
and spread and compacted in layers in accordance with the specification
clause 806.
 Compaction of all bituminous materials will be carried out using a
combination of 3 wheel dead weight rollers and tandem vibrating rollers.
 Tack coat shall be sprayed in accordance with BS 4987-2:2003 Table 1-5
using a mechanical sprayer.
 Standard laying procedure is start paving from the lower side of the
carriageway towards the high side. Joints in roadbase and basecourse
layers shall at least 300mm offset from the preceding layer and not in a
wheel track as specified in NRA Clause 901-23
 All pavement layers shall executed in full compliance with NRA
Specifications for Roadworks
 As works progress the pavement layer will be constantly checked ensuring
that the pavement layer depth is achieved and maintained.
 The pavement layers will be laid in accordance with the specification and
any cold joints made during the progress of the works will be cut back
creating a vertical face and treated in accordance with the specification
 The finished level will then be checked and passed off prior to the next
layer being laid.

Laying Overlay or Tie In

 Where there is a requirement to overlay or complete a tie in. The area will
be cleaned and set out to identify the location of the tie in, at this point the
pavement will be cut back or scarified as required.
 The face of the joint will then be treated and the surface sprayed with a
tack coat and then the material laid as described above.

Materials

All materials to be used will be tested in accordance with the specification.

Wet Mix Clause 806.

Potential Ecological / Environmental Impacts, including impacts on Balla

Turlough cSAC and/ or other European sites

NIS / EAR: Relevant Extracts:

Potential Impacts (in the absence of below Mitigation):

 Potential Surface & groundwater contamination during construction.
 Potential decrease in groundwater supply to Turlough during construction.
 Potential Increase in run-off volumes to Turlough during construction.
 Pollution from Surface Water run-off during Construction.
.

Mitigation:

 Construction works carried out in the vicinity of the Turloughs will be

monitored by a suitably qualified ecologist;
 To reduce potential increases in flows into the drainage system and
downstream Turloughs during construction, the period of exposure of bare
areas and uncontrolled runoff from new hardstanding areas will be limited.
Early covering/seeding/planting of exposed surfaces will be undertaken;
 Material stockpiles will be kept to a minimum size, covered and located at
least 10m from the drainage system and 100m from Turloughs;
 To prevent contaminated or silt-laden runoff from entering the Turloughs, a
range of temporary measures will be implemented, including silt fences, cut-
off ditches, silt traps, straw bales, entrapment matting and drainage to
vegetated areas;
 Runoff will be controlled and, if required, directed to settlement ponds or
sumps. Any temporary attenuation and treatment facilities will be designed
and implemented in accordance with CIRIA C697 (2007). All temporary
treatment systems will be regularly inspected and maintained;
 The extent of construction activities will be controlled to limit vegetation
removal and the exposure and/or compaction of soils. Land surrounding the
immediate construction area will be fenced off, or otherwise demarcated, to
prevent inadvertent intrusion from construction plant;
 Construction works will be avoided during prolonged periods of very heavy
rainfall adjacent to the Balla Turlough cSAC and Un-named Turlough;

 No construction plant or construction vehicles to enter the Balla Turlough

cSAC boundary other than where this boundary has already been generally
encroached by the existing road;
 Refueling of machinery shall be carried out off-site, or when on-site not within
100m of Turlough habitat;
 All fuels, oils, greases, hydraulic fluids and chemical storage areas will be
stored in bunded compounds/areas on impermeable bases at least 10m from
the proposed drainage system and 100m from the cSAC and Un-named
Turlough;
 No pouring of concrete within 50m of the cSAC or the Un-named Turlough.
Note the headwall for the outfall to the Un-named Turlough shall be a pre-cast
structure.
 Concrete mixing/pouring shall only be carried out in dry weather conditions.
 No run-off from machine servicing/concrete mixing shall be allowed to enter
watercourses. These shall be at least 10m from the proposed drainage
system and 100m from the cSAC/Un-named Turlough.
 No machinery to enter Turlough habitats, no temporary access or haul routes
are located in Turlough habitats and no temporary storage areas, plant or
other obstacles are located within Turlough habitats;
 Monitoring of turbidity (suspended solids) levels in Balla Turlough SAC and
the Un-named Turlough will be undertaken on a monthly basis for a minimum
of 6 months prior to construction and will include monitoring during the winter
season when Turlough water levels are most likely to be present. Monitoring
will also be undertaken on a weekly basis during construction for turbidity
(suspended solids). In the event of suspended solids concentrations that are
higher than the 95th %ile of those monitored during the pre-construction
monitoring period, a review of the Sediment and Erosion Control measures
and plan will be implemented and additional sediment control measures put in
place as required. Daily visual inspections of Balla Turlough SAC and the Un-
named Turlough will also be undertaken during the construction phase to
confirm the absence of sediment from construction works;
 The N60 Balla to Claremorris Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall be
implemented to prevent sediment or pollutants from reaching the Balla or Un-
named Turlough.
 All mitigation contained within the N60 Environmental Assessment Report
and NATURA Impact Statement shall be implemented in full.
