 Parking is restricted to only 2 vehicles on site; all other vehicles are to park on
the adjacent Client property, accessed via the private lane, and enter site
through the secure pedestrian gate.
 Section off an area within the site for deliveries, none are to take place on the
highway. Keep a clear traffic route and plan delivery times to avoid any
congestion – no traffic is ever to queue on the highway.
 Create a safe storage area for all materials and equipment, fence off and
clearly designate.
  Section off an area on the site for storage of skips; separate waste for
disposal to recycling facilities where possible.
 Ensure all tools that have the potential to create dust are damped down at
source – via an on-board water supply.
 Adequate access/egress must be provided across the site.
 A minimum of 2 certified ABC category dry powder fire extinguishers, with an
adequate fully stocked first aid kit and eye wash station made readily
available for use at designated points, and an emergency muster point must
be established.
 Arrange a clean area to wash wheels of exiting vehicles if required, this will be
via the water supply on site.

Fence erection

 Plan out the positions for the fencing to be placed

 When receiving delivery ensure the driver drops where it will minimise the
need for manual handling – use several drops if possible
 2 persons should handle the fence panels (unless lightweight) and 1 foot per
person should be carried – as a guide.
 Safely carry the panels across site and place in feet – always have them in the
feet for stability
 Secure the panels as soon as they are placed to avoid any collapsing
 Clip the panels and secure, using double for extra security if required
 Install double folded debris mesh around the entire perimeter of the fencing

DEMOLITION AND DECOMMISSION WORKS

During the demolition dust will be damped down via hosepipe and site muck will be
controlled by leaving in hard standing areas (as long as possible) for vehicle
movement on and off site.

All waste will be recycled where possible, via licensed facilities. Disposal to landfill
will be used as a last resort.

All clean concrete on site will be re-used as backfill. A crusher will be contracted in,
with driver, to achieve this.

MAKING SAFE

Uplift fuel

To be undertaken by an outside specialist contractor.

 
 Drain all lines back to the tanks (leaving out ACV poppet).
 The bulk of the product will be withdrawn either through the tank filling point,
or by removing the 4 inch plug on the elbow, removing the cage and
withdrawing the overfill prevention tube.
 Once this is done a 3 inch hose can be lowered into the tank and most of the
product can be removed. The last remaining dregs can be removed with a
smaller pipe.
 
Waterfill tanks 
 
  Flush water through the pump end to clean the suction lines first.
 Seal off the suction pipe work at the pumps or lid valves.
 Water fill tanks to full capacity via the existing offset fill points. Water is to be
delivered by tanker – final effluent grade.
 Issue tank gas free certificate.

Pumps

 Remove the pumps and dispose of as per the clients request.

 Remove old pump islands using the excavator, ensuring the operator is fully
trained and the excavator has been checked for safety.

THE SITE IS NOW GAS FREE – until all tanks are removed this must be confirmed
at the start of each daily shift

DEMOLITION

Canopy

Canopy is able to be dropped:

 Position the excavator behind the canopy direction of fall – to the side of the
canopy as fall direction is to be away from the existing shop
 Anchor the canopy with the excavator bucket at the top of the fascia, where a
support is fixed. Don’t put any pressure on the structure, just anchor it
 NB before commencing any hot cutting complete a hot works permit and
ensure the area is clear of flammable debris and confirmed as gas free.
 Cut the legs with the gas cutting gear ready for dropping: 3 sides at the
bottom, leaving the side to bend in the direction of fall; 3 sides at the top,
leaving the opposite side to that left at the bottom so that the structure folds in
on itself
 NB. The distance between the top and bottom cuts will be the distance the
canopy travels when pushed over, these should be equal on all legs.
 Cut the leg attached to the shop diagonally down to the fall direction so that it
will slide free as the canopy falls
 Make sure all people and materials are cleared from under the canopy and its
direction of fall
 Post watchers to signal a clear footpath and surrounding area before the drop
 Release the excavator bucket from its anchor point and push at the front of
the fascia in a slow controlled manner
 The canopy will drop forwards, with the top falling back flat on itself, still
attached to the legs, preventing it from travelling
 Demolish the canopy structure on the ground using the excavator, gas gear
and hand tools. Use the excavator wherever possible, only resort to hand
methods when machine methods aren’t possible
 Ensure the steel is separated and disposed of in bins to a licensed recycling
plant.

Shop and building demolition

 The site manager will advise as to specific techniques for demolition if any
difficult situations are encountered and this safe working procedure cannot be
followed.
 Check that there has been a suitable asbestos survey carried out and that any
materials have been removed prior to commencement
 Strip out materials from the buildings and dispose of in separate skips, taking
out only what it is safe to do so. Keep a clean and tidy site.
o Remove heavy items by mechanical means – excavator or suitable
equipment
o Minimise the risk of any trip hazards by correct storing of materials. Out
of the way, and stacked properly and stable
o Strip out materials from building for disposal in skips using hand tools
(be sure to wear protective gloves when handling waste as it may
contain sharps)
o Warn others inside the building when you are pulling apart or
demolishing structures, keep good levels of communication at all times
with regards to work areas and work tasks
o Keep a check at all times on levels of dust and fumes and any others
that may cause nuisance to the public, take all practicable measures to
reduce these
o Don’t block up routes with discarded debris, maintain emergency
escape pathways at all times
o Dust masks will need to be worn at times when levels of dust are likely
to be high
o Survey all areas before removing waste; there is always a possibility of
sharps being contained in waste piles that may cause injury. Use a
shovel to bin waste into bags for disposal in the skips provided
o If any hypodermic needles are found the local council environmental
health must be contacted for their removal
o Assess each situation as you come to it during the stripping out, ask
advice if you are unsure how structures will be affected
o When removing suspended ceilings take down the tiles before pulling
down the bracings. Make sure you can see what is above and can
plan accordingly when pulling down

 Demolish the building using 360 degree tracked excavator

o Keep workers clear while the machine nibbles down the kiosk.
o The machine is to work its way around the outside of the building,
stripping down the shutters, windows and brick work.
o Store all materials separately for disposal / re-use, safely and out of the
way
o Once the sides are exposed use the excavator to pull down the roof.
Pull the roof gently and try to take in 1 section.
o Anchor in with the machine bucket and track back gently, easing the
roof to the floor. Lift into the waste skip and compact.
o Move around the building and repeat if necessary.
o Work the excavator into the widest part of the building, pulling out the
walls and any remaining waste, storing in separate piles
o Clear back all materials to leave a clean base

 Where there is steel in the structure the machine should be able to de-link and
bend over supports for cutting off at ground level with the gas gear if
necessary.
 Any hot cutting to be done must be done only when any flammable debris has
been cleared from the area.
 Clear back the building floor leaving no obtrusions that may be hazardous to
trespassers, make sure the whole area is flat and debris free and any holes,
pits or trenches have been filled in.
  Match the remaining level with the level of the rest of the site, eliminating as is
possible slip, trip and fall hazards.
 Separate materials and dispose of in skips and wagons through a recognised
hauler to a registered waste transfer station.

Tank removal

A suitable barrier of at least 950mm is to be erected around the dig area, to prevent
risk of fall.

 Before commencing excavation complete a permit to excavate.

 Ensure that any live services in the area have been identified and clearly
marked and made safe.
 If excavation is required around any identified service locations then they
must be hand dug around to expose and made safe as is requested by the
suppliers.
 Use the machine with the breaker to remove the concrete from the top of the
tank farm and expose the top of the tanks.
 The concrete will need to be broken down about a third / half way all round.
 Remove concrete from the pit and stock pile for recycling.
 Put the ripper tooth on the machine.
 Pump the top of the water from the tank so that no spillage occurs.
o Remove the water via an air pump to a mobile oil water separator,
placing the outlet of the last chamber of the separator into the first
chamber of the on site interceptor, obtaining discharge consent (Or
verifying this has been done) from the local water authority.
 With the ripper tooth cut the length of the tank along the very top.
 Move around to the side of the tank and cut at 90 degrees to the first cut at
either dome end.
 Change to the bucket and peel back the steel, flapping it to either side, to
leave the tank open.
 Pump out the remaining water.
 Once the water is fully removed push the two flapped sections back inside the
tanks.
 Repeat the above process for all tanks.
 Break down to the bottom third of the concrete cradle at least before
attempting to free tanks from the suction of the concrete. One end will
probably need to be broken down to nearly the base.
 Use the small bucket of the machine to prise the tank bottoms from the
concrete.
 Once tanks are loose they can be pulled from the ground using the folded
over steel or lip at the dome end for grip.
 Pull the tanks as per the site managers instructions. He is to assess the
situation based on ground conditions and the lay of the tanks and position of
the machine.
 The machine should be able to rip the dome ends of the tank off whilst it is still
in the ground and in the suction of the concrete:
o Manoeuvre the tooth around the outside of the tank and progress the
cut around.
o Gradually prise the dome end away.
o Lift out of the pit using the lip of the dome end, folded over.
o If this can not be done then they are to be cut off with the oxy-
acetylene cutting gear once the whole tank is lifted out.
  Any gas cutting should only be done when the tank is in a secure and stable
state, chocked at either end on either side. There area is to be cleared of any
flammable debris before commencing and confirmed as gas free.
 The tanks should be cut so that the dome ends are off and cut to fit the skip
as necessary, with the body of the tank left as a whole.
 The body of the tank is to be flat packed by the machine
o Spread out and track the steel out so as it is flat.
o Track forward onto the steel and bend around 1.5 metres up (Or less
depending on the size of the tank) and around the tracks.
o Track back, still on the steel and use the bucket to push the bent
section down, flattening with the tracks if necessary.
o Repeat this until the steel is folded into a bundle.
 Load the tanks into skips or wagons and dispose of through a licensed metal
recycling facility.
 All excavated concrete is to be crushed on site and re-used.
 Remove the rest of the concrete cradles as per the specification.

All ground is to be prepared ready for the construction phase.
