1 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this Standard is to set down the requirements for Temporary Works on
London Underground Operational property.
2 Scope
2.1 This standard covers the design, fabrication and erection of temporary works
--``,,`,,,,```,`,`,`,,`,`,`,,``,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
associated with civil engineering works and building works. This standard also applies
to such works associated with all asset areas. Material requirements are covered in
standard T0005.
2.2 Temporary works are site installations which do not form part of the permanent works
and which are required to facilitate the safe construction of the permanent works.
Temporary works can take many forms depending on the nature of the material or
structure to be temporarily supported. Examples include hoist towers, lifting beams
and gantries, site hoardings/ barriers, way beams, earth support, timber shoring, steel
or other framing for facade retention, significant falsework and shuttering for concrete
placement, temporary bases for cranes and temporary piers for bridge erection.
Temporary works are usually removed after their function is complete, however in
certain circumstances elements of the temporary works may be abandoned (residual
temporary works).
2.3 This standard does not apply to third party (outside party) works being undertaken on
their own land which is covered by standards S1023 and G0023
2.2 There are references within this document to the LU process for temporary works. It is
however acceptable for other companies within TfL to follow their own equivalent
approved process.
3 Requirements
3.1 Conceptual Design Statement
3.1.1 All temporary works require a Temporary Works Conceptual Design Statement (CDS)
(unless the Professional Head has stated that a CDS is not required) to be submitted
for approval in principle by the Professional Head or Accredited Individual.
3.1.2 The design shall be performed in accordance with the conceptual design statement
and the standards listed in section 6.1.
3.1.3 All Conceptual Design Statements for temporary works shall be prepared at the outset
to describe, as a minimum, the following fundamental requirements:
a) Design organisation: consultant or design team undertaking design including

address and contact name;
b) Identification of structure, precise location, line, nearest station, Km post or

station room number, LCS code, nearest road name (or road crossing). If an existing

works and any consequent effect on the performance or durability of the permanent
works;
l) Construction period and time available for erection and dismantling; state the
time the temporary works will be in position and how long it will take to erect and
dismantle the temporary works.
m) Buildability state access constraints and any particular restrictions on size of
member which may be handled and access and manoeuvring space for plant;
n) Noise and other environmental considerations; state what measures are to be
taken to reduce noise due to the works to acceptable levels and where waste
materials etc will be disposed off.
o) Effect on existing drainage; state what measures are to be taken to avoid
damage to existing drainage, and if required describe any diversions, overpumping
etc (refer to clause 3.8.4).
p) Ventilation; state what checks will be made to ensure that existing ventilation will
be maintained.

considered additively. The design shall be based on the worst case and the other
cases checked against that load. The accidental impact loading specified in clause
3.17.1 does not apply to hoardings.
3.19 Accidental Impact
3.19.1 Temporary works are of necessity in place for only a short time, and support
construction loads, hence there is no requirement for them to resist accidental loading.

5 Supporting information
5.1 Background
5.1.1 Temporary works are site installations which do not form a part of the permanent works
and which are required to facilitate the safe construction of the permanent works.
Temporary works can take many forms depending on the nature of the material or
structure to be temporarily supported. Examples include site hoardings, earth support,
timber shoring, steel or other framing for facade retention, significant falsework and
shuttering for concrete placement, temporary bases for cranes and temporary piers for
bridge erection. Temporary works are usually removed after their function is complete,
however in certain circumstances elements of the temporary works may be abandoned
(residual temporary works).
5.1.2 It is essential that the safety of persons and structural integrity of the temporary and
permanent works under all conditions of loading that may occur during the erection, use
and removal of temporary works be considered, the risks assessed and the works
designed to limit these risks.
5.2 Safety considerations

5.2.1 The designer shall consider safety aspects throughout the design process. The
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and the requirements it places
on the client, designers and contractors shall be complied with.
5.2.2 The Project Manager must ensure that a Temporary Works Co-ordinator (TWC) is
appointed in accordance with the Construction (Health Safety and Welfare)
Regulations. Amongst their other duties, the TWC must check that the various
temporary works do not clash and that the loads imposed from one set of temporary
works do not adversely impact on permanent or other temporary works.
.5.2.3 The designer shall outline safety considerations in the Conceptual Design Statement
(CDS) and develop these throughout the design, fabrication, erection and eventual
removal of the temporary works.
5.3 Environmental considerations

5.3.1 All activities relating to Temporary Works including planning, design, procurement,
construction, installation, testing, commissioning, operation, maintenance,
decommissioning and disposal must comply with current environmental legislation,
approved Codes of Practice and authoritative literature issued by relevant statutory
bodies.
5.4 Customer considerations

5.4.1 Temporary Works provide effective support to the track formation, stations, buildings,
service posts, etc and maintain the structure gauge requirements, and shall be
constructed and maintained to the specifications as described in this Standard, so as
