Where it is impractical for the temporary works areas, then suitable water
containment/treatment measures should be in place. For example, temporary
welfare facilities with the waste products contained in serviced tanks.

4.3.2.6 Water discharge licenses may be required.

4.3.2.7 At the Owner’s discretion consideration at the design stage should be given,
to the using a geo-membrane type material at the perimeter of the site to
prevent movement of contamination both within and from outside sources.
Understanding the level of risk of internal pollution and the location of the
substation and the surroundings will strongly influence whether or not this is
considered.

4.3.3 Roads and Parking

4.3.3.1 There should be clear roadways/paths to ensure safe passageways for

vehicles and personnel. This should apply to both the permanent and
temporary sites

4.3.3.2 Use of plastic at grade solutions for the provision of walkways should be
considered.

4.3.3.3 There should be parking for personnel and maintenance vehicles on site to
suit the maintenance requirements of the substation.

4.3.3.4 4.3.3.1 to 4.3.3.3 should also be applicable were possible to the temporary
works areas.

4.3.4 Lighting

4.3.4.1 The design of flood lighting should be assessed based upon the location of
the site and its intended use. There is unlikely to be a need for it to be
permanently switched on.

4.3.4.2 External lighting that integrates with, or which mounts on enclosures is

preferred.

4.3.4.3 The illumination levels of the external lighting should be designed in

accordance with recommend levels based upon the intended operations. For
example, a road may require a lower level of illumination than an area
designated for equipment inspection.

4.3.4.5 4.3.4.1 to 4.3.4.3 should also be applicable were possible to the temporary
work areas.
