5 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the Phoenix Place Construction and Environmental Management Plan (PP CEMP) This Construction and Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been produced for Taylor Wimpey by Bouygues UK Ltd. Reference will be made to the residential developments comprising Phases 1 and 2 (the Phoenix Place site) and Phases 3 and 4 (the Calthorpe Street site) in respect of interface during the Phase 1 construction period. The CEMP also addresses the requirements of the Section 106 Agreement schedules 17 and 18. This CEMP responds to the LB Camden s Minimum Requirements for Building/Construction/Demolition Sites and the LB Camden s Construction Management Plan Pro-Forma. The baseline for our analysis is the LB Camden s Minimum Requirements for Building/Construction/Demolition Sites which we have viewed as the minimum standards to be achieved by the Contractor. We have identified improvements in most areas under consideration. When appointed the Contractors will be required to demonstrate how the works will comply with the requirements of the LB Camden s Minimum Requirements for Building/Construction/Demolition Sites and how they will address the measures contained within this report. This document details: the specific obligations on the Contractor when undertaking the works; the specific measures to be used during the works; and the specific details of the control measures for each environmental issue. There is a large body of environmental and safety requirements relevant to construction projects, in the form of primary legislation (Acts of Parliament), secondary legislation (Statutory Instruments, including Regulations and Orders) and statutory guidance and Codes of Practice. The Contractor will be responsible for identifying new legislation and regulations, and complying with all prevailing legislation at the time of construction including any requirements under Health and Safety legislation. 1.2 Structure of the CEMP The CEMP is set out to provide the London Borough of Camden Council with information regarding the proposed construction methods, programme duration and how the interfaces with the public will be handled. It will also highlight how the impact of the construction on the surrounding community will be minimized, both for the construction on site and the transport arrangements for servicing the site. It will demonstrate the nature of the works to be undertaken, the potential impacts to the local environment, community and transport, and how these will be mitigated and managed. Page 5 of 58

6 The CEMP is a live document and will be revised as the design develops, trade contractors are employed and as more information is available. Once the Principal Contractor have been formerly appointed the CEMP will continue to be updated. Before works start on site, contact details of the Principal Contractor and of the personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the project will be included. The CEMP details how liaison and dealing with any complaints from the local community will be handled. 1.3 Project Location The Phoenix Place project is located near Royal Mail Sorting Office, Mount Pleasant, Farringdon, London EC1A 1BB and is an island site, bounded on all sides by roads (Phoenix Place, Mount Pleasant, Gough Street).

10 4.0 The Site 4.1 Existing & Surrounding Area The site is located adjacent to the Royal Mail Sorting Office, Mount Pleasant, Farringdon, London, and is an island site, bounded on all sides by roads (Phoenix Place, Mount Pleasant, Gough Street). The site is currently a derelict carpark, surrounded by brick walls and mesh fences. There used to be accesses onto the carpark from Gough Street, Mount Pleasant and Phoenix Place. The carpark was set over various ground levels, with access ramps. The project is also adjacent to the Thames Water Fleet sewer located underneath Phoenix Place. Page 10 of 58

11 To the South of the site is Mount Pleasant. This road is a two way road and has parking spaces on one side (the side going towards Farringdon Road). To the East is Phoenix Place. It is a minor road that is used by local traffic and accessed by the Royal Mail vans. There are parking spaces on one side of the road (the side going towards Calthorpe Street). It is adjacent to the Royal Mail sorting office. Page 11 of 58

12 To the West is Gough Street. It is a one-way street going down towards Mount Pleasant. It is adjacent the ITN studios. 4.2 Brief Description of the Works P1 consists of a new residential development consisting of six connected blocks, ranging from 4 to 13 floors (above ground floor). A two-storey basement will be constructed to house Royal Mail staff car parking and residential car parking, plantroom, storage and cycle storage. The ground floor will generally provide space for commercial units, refuse storage and circulation. A large podium will also provide amenities and landscaped areas for residents. Floors 1 to 13 will provide residential accommodation throughout. P2 consists of a new residential development consisting of 3 blocks of 4, 8 and 10 floors with associated external communal spaces, storage, cycle storage and carpark spaces. 4.3 Potential Issues/Constraints during Construction The Phoenix Place site is constrained by the following: Proximity to the RMG sorting office, yard and Postal Museum Existing retaining walls Proximity of the Thames Water Fleet sewer Proximity to nearby residents Traffic levels at peak times particularly Farringdon Road Noise and dust arising from the works Construction traffic Adjacent development of the Enabling Works for Phases 3 and 4 Page 12 of 58

This is still a matter for design and details are not yet finalized. New utilities service connections are required, including power, water, gas, BT/fibre and drainage. Details of providers will be communicated once they are known. 4.9 Pre-requisites before Construction Pre-Start Enabling/lead-in works Prior to commencement of works a period of pre-commencement planning and activities will be carried out to ensure works can be undertaken efficiently. Certain elements of these works will require third party approvals. Production of detailed, task specific Construction Method Statements in accordance with the Code of Construction Practice (CoCP). Mobilisation of selected plant and operators. Formulation of project Health and Safety Plan and risk assessments. Contractors Community Liaison Officer to be named and to commence direct liaison with the Street Management Division. Formulation of Site Waste Management Plan and Environmental plans as per the current DEFRA guidelines. Production of detailed works programmes and sequencing. Surveys of existing services and structures to confirm demolition methodology and load testing capabilities. These will also include pre-condition survey to set as a baseline for existing structures. Highways condition surveys to be carried out prior to commencement on site. Services investigations/surveys for decommissioning and temporary supply purposes. CCTV surveys of existing drainage. Camden licence applications and approvals for pavement closure, hoardings, scaffolding. Baseline environmental monitoring. Page 27 of 58

28 Neighbour liaison before the commencement on site to explain the nature of works. Ensure neighbours are advised by leaflet drop, two weeks before works commence as a minimum. Direct contact to be made with the school and near neighbours to discuss construction methods. Temporary works design. Pest control site baiting a minimum of 2 weeks before commencement Registration of the project under the Considerate Constructers Scheme Section 61 (noise) prior notice agreement to be made with Camden Direct liaison with Camden s Tree Preservation Officer to confirm methodology of constructing tree protection in accordance with agreements made at Planning stage. Some trees along MountPleasant will also require pruning as they encroach onto the development demise. Six weeks notice to be given for any road (and pavement) closures or crane lifts required in the early stages of the contract. Site establishment and logistics Site establishment is the preparation of the site to carry out the works. This activity is generated from possession of the first section of the site and will include the following activities: Securing the site External hoardings Vehicle and pedestrian access to the works will be via separate entrances controlled by fully trained gatemen and traffic marshals. Installation of site temporary electrics, lighting, water and fire alarms. Establishment of site security provisions to ensure that the site is protected against unauthorized or unlawful entry and potential theft from site. Diversions and isolation of existing services and systems within the site Establish welfare arrangements No materials storage to be allowed in the welfare area. Emergency routes on site to be specified and clearly signposted. Appropriate notifications will be served and licenses applied for removal of any remaining asbestos containing material (ACMs). ACM s will be removed by a licensed contractor in accordance with current legislation. Page 28 of 58

29 5.0 Community Liaison This section sets out the processes involved in liaising with local authorities and the public prior to the commencement of development activities. 5.1 Details of Consultation of CEMP Consultation with the community has been ongoing during the planning process and now that the design is well progressed and the details of phasing and construction methodology have been advanced, the next stage will be to present the details to the local community and take their views and to feed back into the CEMP and ultimately the methods employed on site. The presentation will take the form of open meetings where the proposals can be displayed with members of the construction, design and client teams present to explain and discuss, and take feedback. 5.2 Construction Working Group A Construction Working Group is to be formed, this will be put together following the presentations to the community and will provide a forum to keep the community updated and for them to air concerns. Membership will comprise members of the project delivery team, contractor, representatives from Royal Mail, the Calthorpe Street site development team, and the community. 5.3 Specific Liaison Measures The specific liaison measures to be implemented by the Principal Contractor will include: Plan & inform on the nature and timing of all main site activities relating to the CoCP, particularly the demolition, new structure and external envelope. All site construction staff to be made aware of the requirements of the code and will be made responsible for its implementation. Sufficiently in advance of works, the Principal Contractor will prepare a full programme of works, which will be maintained in a current format for the duration of the works and will be available for inspection when required. This will include: An outline method statement for works and activities affecting the highway. Detailed method statements for specific/special activities affecting the environs of the site in line with the principle identified in this report. Temporary works, removal of demolition & excavation material, concrete pours, deliveries of plant. Details of site traffic movements showing the projected number of vehicles, what is being delivered, when peaks in activities occur, traffic marshalling arrangements, holding areas, etc. Routes to site for deliveries. A health and safety plan The Principal Contractor will provide an information and reporting telephone Hot Line staffed during working hours. Information on this facility shall be prominently displayed on site hoardings. The Contractor s nominated person will attend monthly reviews with Camden Council s Environmental Inspectorate, or otherwise as requested. Page 29 of 58

30 5.4 Details of Community Liaison Proposals Community Liaison will take the form of a monthly newsletter, dedicated website for the project, and community meetings. These will provide a forum for the community and project to communicate around upcoming activities, concerns and how they may be addressed. These forums will be led by the Construction Working Group. A member of the Project Staff will be appointed as Liaison Officer; they will work with the local residents, the business community, LB Camden and the Royal Mail. They will always be available and be a dedicated point of contact. Posters will be displayed on the site boundary advising the following contractors names, the name of your liaison officer, and a contact number and address for complaints, details of the Considerate Constructors Scheme registration, a 24hr contact number and confirmation that the site is working to the standards set out in the LB Camden s Minimum Requirements for Building/Construction/Demolition Sites. The Liaison Officer will be responsible for the logging of complaints and ensuring appropriate action is taken and recorded along with steps to avoid recurrence. At least 2 weeks before any work commences leaflets will be sent to the local residential and commercial community advising the start and likely completion dates for the works name and contact details for the liaison officer. During the progress of the works regular updates will be sent out particularly should there be any change in Liaison Officer or if works have been agreed by LB Camden to be undertaken outside normal hours. In the case of work required in response to an emergency, Camden Council, and all neighbours will be advised as soon as reasonably practicable that emergency work is taking place. Potentially affected occupiers will also be notified of the hotline number, which will operate during working hours. Should there be the need to undertake works outside of normal hours that may disturb residents this will be notified to LB Camden Public Protection Division a minimum of 7 days in advance for approval. With regards to Christopher Hatton Primary School, engagement will be required on a regular basis and meetings set up separately from local residents. 5.5 Details of schemes such as the Considerate Constructors Scheme It will be requirement that the appointed contractor enrols the project in the Considerate Contractors Scheme and that the project will be managed in a manner to achieve a high score of 41/50 or higher. 5.6 Neighbouring sites Calthorpe Site Enabling Works During the construction period, it is anticipated that the Enabling Works of chris site will have concurrent activities. The Enabling Works are expected to begin in spring 2018 and will coincide with the construction period of Phoenix Place P1. Taylor Wimpey will maintain close Page 30 of 58

31 cooperation with the Royal Mail and their contractors and will operate a joint liaison strategy and plan during the Enabling Works encompassing the Phoenix Place pre-construction and construction periods. 6.0 Transport 6.1 Traffic Management Plan A Construction Traffic Management Plan will be compiled and agreed with LB Camden as appropriate and others (as necessary) prior to commencement of construction works and will include: Phased deliveries on a controlled just in time basis; and In the event of unusual activities or events that can be anticipated, the local authorities and the relevant adjacent property owners or occupiers would be notified, in advance of the activity, wherever possible. In addition, the passage of all vehicular traffic to and from the Site would adhere to the environmental procedures applicable to all contractors. In accordance with best practice, the implementation of a Construction Traffic Management Plan will closely control all construction traffic entering and leaving the Site. Vehicles making deliveries to the Site or removing spoil would travel via designated routes and will be agreed with LB Camden as appropriate, Transport for London (TfL) and other relevant bodies. Implementing the Construction Traffic Management Plan would ensure that construction traffic would not cause undue disruption to users of the local highway network and its capacity. Therefore, the likely residual effect of the construction works on traffic flows on the local network would be as negligible for the development works. Page 31 of 58

33 6.2 Name of Principal contractor Taylor Wimpey are working in partnership with Bouygues UK who will be the Principal Contractor on site. 6.3 CLOCS Standard Principal Contractor and all Trade Contractors will have the requirement to abide by, comply and adhere to the CLOCS Standards for construction logistics throughout the duration of the contract. This sets out a set of standards for items such as traffic routing; warning signage; side underrun protection; blind-spot minimisation; vehicle manoeuvring warnings; driver training, development and licensing; collision reporting; control of site access and egress; vehicle loading and unloading on site. Each requirement has been developed to reduce the risk of a collision between heavy goods vehicles in the construction sector and vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians. The Standard sets the detailed minimum requirements to create a consistent baseline, but is written in a way that encourages road safety to be managed ever more rigorously as new best practice emerges. The CLOCS Standard is a key step to demonstrate the commitment of construction logistics industry organisations to improve road safety throughout the supply chain. The Principal Contractor will have arranged for vehicles to be checked on entering the site and to take the appropriate action under the contract. The Principal Contractor will produce a plan and / or process for complying with the contract. CLOCS key checks will be carried out randomly onto incoming vehicles, as per the CLOCS Compliance checklist. It will also be envisaged to work with the Considerate Constructors Scheme in order to ensure compliance to the CLOCS standards. All drivers of vehicles over 3.5t will have undertaken Safe Urban Driver training, and that all vehicles over 3.5t will be fitted with blindspot minimisation equipment (Fresnel lens/cctv) and audible left turn alerts. Operators must be FORS accredited. Where accredited to FORS Bronze level, written assurances must be sought that ensure that the above requirements are met. 6.4 Proposed Construction Vehicle routes Vehicles making deliveries to the Site or removing spoil will travel via designated routes which will be agreed with LB Camden, TfL and the police as required. The following diagrams illustrate the proposed routes construction vehicles will take to the site. Large vehicles will make use of the TRLN from the Motorway Network into Central London with the principle route being the A501 then A201 to the site. This will avoid cross London N- S journeys. Smaller vehicles such as vans will make use of the Borough Principle Road Network. Page 33 of 58

34 Vehicle routes will be discussed and agreed with suppliers and contractors in advance at the pre-start meeting, and the agreed traffic routing included in all sub contracts and supply orders. Any changes to the plan will be communicated through further meetings to ensure that the use of residential and minor roads is prevented. Page 34 of 58

36 6.5 Construction Vehicles Sizes & Frequency Frequency of Vehicle Movements 20 vehicle movements per hour at peak were assessed over a 5 hour period, hence 100 vehicle movements average a day. We do not anticipate to experience peak vehicle movements over the whole working day (10 hours). During groundworks stage, vehicle movements are expected to occur mostly between 8am and 2pm. During concrete frame stage, vehicle movements are expected to occur mostly between 10am and 6pm. During facades and fit-out stage, vehicle movements are expected to occur mostly between 8am and 3pm. Construction Frequency Comment Vehicle Type Tipper Lorry Up to 75 daily During excavation and demolition Van Low Loader 2 to 7 daily Occasional Delivery of small materials, plant, Visits etc. for delivery and collection of larger items of Mobile Crane Occasional Visits for erection and dismantle of tower cranes.

37 6.6 Other developments in the local area During the Residential development of the Phoenix Place construction period, it is anticipated that the Enabling Works of Calthorpe Site will be live. This development is expected to begin in spring 2018 and will coincide with the development works on Phoenix Place. Taylor Wimpey will maintain close cooperation with Royal Mail and their contractors and will operate a joint liaison strategy and plan during the Enabling Works encompassing the Phoenix Place preconstruction and construction periods. This process will enable the coordination of deliveries impacting the use of the adjoining roads, special loads, road closures etc. 6.7 Vehicle & Delivery Management System Delivery vehicles arriving to site unannounced, failing to adequately book deliveries or booking in of deliveries in an adhoc manner, will lead to traffic congestion and safety risk to the public in addition to the risk caused to the construction team. A vehicle and delivery management system will therefore be implemented utilising an on-line booking system to manage and control vehicle arrivals. Vehicles that have not been logged on the system or do not arrive at the designated time will be turned away, except in exceptional circumstances and provided there is capacity on site to deal with them. This provides an efficient and effective means of controlling all deliveries. Its implementation will ensure that all deliveries arrive at the right time and ensure that the space available is used as effectively as possible. Delivery bookings will need to be submitted at least 48 hours in advance to allow sufficient time to co-ordinate delivery vehicle movements and the associated use of on-site materials handling equipment. Regular delivery meetings will be held between all parties and the logistic manager to make any adjustments and ensure that the delivery schedules are pre- agreed. The system will be able to be read remotely to allow suppliers to view delivery schedules, crane and hoist / goods lift bookings. Daily delivery schedules will be displayed in prominent locations (notice boards, hoists, goods lift, etc.) and distributed to relevant parties. These schedules will include contractor information and contact details to ensure that the recipient may be contacted promptly when a delivery arrives. All deliveries to site should avoid school drop-off and pick-up time. For the delivery management systems to operate correctly the information needed from the Trade Contractors will be: Delivery Forecast Types of Materials Volume of packaging (area) Types of Stillage/Pallets Weights of Products Specific lifting locations COSHH Information Fragile Goods to Be Identified Identify what is Reusable / Returnable Page 37 of 58

38 6.8 Off-site holding areas As part of the vehicle and delivery management system, off site holding areas will be designated in order to prevent the queuing of vehicles waiting to enter site on adjoining roads and to provide capacity to manage delivery timings if a problem arises and a previous delivery overruns it s time slot. The off-site holding areas will be defined in conjunction with the logistics contractor once they are appointed and will not be around the site or on public roads. Locations will be agreed with local council. These will be communicated to suppliers and Trade Contractors in advance at the pre-start meeting, and the agreed traffic routing included in all sub contracts and supply orders. Any changes to the plan will be communicated through further meetings. 6.9 Other measures to reduce the impact of associated traffic Access and egress routes to and from the site will be selected to avoid residential streets and to keep to main arterial routes Management of Vehicle Movements Delivery vehicle movements to and around the site is the most significant public interface risk that the project presents. Maintaining the safety of the public is of paramount importance and with a series of robust controls and proactive measures the risk of this key interface can be mitigated. It is essential that care is taken over keeping pedestrians and vehicles apart. The following measures will be adopted around the perimeter of the project for security and protection purposes: All site access will be well lit, clean, robust level hard-standings, well signed and controlled by experienced gatemen. Doors and gates will always be closed when not providing access. Vehicle movement on entry and exit from the site will be controlled by traffic marshals at footpath crossings to safely manage the interface with pedestrians. Barrier systems across the footpaths will be used while vehicles are delivering to or leaving the site, providing a definitive demarcation between site traffic and the public. The traffic management team will always be readily identifiable, clean and well presented. A logistics plan will be provided by the Principal Contractor in conjunction with the selected logistics provider and included within the CEMP. Wherever vehicles and pedestrians utilise adjacent access during construction around the project, suitable physical segregation with signage shall be installed to demarcate safe pedestrian routes. The entrance gate points will be isolated from site pedestrians by use of designated pedestrian routes and physical barriers. This arrangement will be reviewed as the project proceeds to ensure that any construction activity do not present any additional risks. Should any additional risk be subsequently identified then appropriate action will be taken to eliminate or minimise such risk. Appropriate signage will be fixed to the gates and all areas where it is possible for vehicles to encounter pedestrians and to denote vehicle and pedestrian crossover areas. If they cannot reasonably be avoided traffic marshalls will be in attendance. Site radios will be used to keep all banksmen, traffic marshals and gatemen in constant communication Traffic marshalls will assist all vehicles entering or leaving site by stopping traffic and ensuring a safe and smooth activity Page 38 of 58

39 An important part of safely segregating the public from construction traffic will be through the site induction process where the workforce will be briefed and during subcontractor meetings when the Supply Chain will be briefed. Regular updates will be carried out with the workforce through daily briefing sessions before starting work where any changes to the traffic system will be picked up. All construction vehicles and plant will be required to have white noise type sounders in conjunction with banksmen. Page 39 of 58

40 6.11 Swept path drawings Swept path drawings have been produced for vehicle entry and exit points to ensure that the turns can be made by normal vehicles without the need for multiple manoeuvers. Additionally, 3D modelling of the vehicles tracking has been undertaken to prove the tracking. This ensures that vehicles may cleanly enter and exit the site without the potential to block footpath crossings and carriageways whilst manoeuvring. As a rule, vehicles will not be permitted to reverse out of or into the site except in exceptional circumstances. The diagrams below illustrate the swept path analysis undertaken for articulated lorries entering and leaving along Phoenix Place. Page 40 of 58

41 6.12 Wheel washing facilities and management As the site is not covered by hard paving a wheel wash will be necessary. Vehicles will need to stand or travel on exposed ground. A jet wash will be used if any local wheel cleaning is required and road sweepers will be employed to clean any site hard standing and adjacent areas as required. This will be monitored by the traffic marshals prior to the vehicle leaving the construction zone on site Parking/Loading/Unloading Delivery loading and unloading will mainly be entirely within the site and the local roads will not be used unless necessary. For example, specific operations may be required to be undertaken from the adjoining roads for example crane erection and dismantle, the lifting of some structure elements and Section 106 works. These operations will be undertaken using partial or full road closures agreed with LB Camden and the methodology agreed will include details of how the plant and vehicles will be managed. There will be no contractor parking allowed on the highway at any time anywhere within Camden. Except for drop off and delivery there will be no parking for contractor s vehicles on the site. The area of the site has excellent public transport services and the workforce are expected to utilise this for their journey to and from site. Facilities for cycle storage will be provided for those members of the workforce who may cycle to work Parking bay suspensions and TTO s, At this stage, it is envisioned that parking bay closures will be required for the duration of the Works. These will be discussed with LB Camden and applied for by the contractor in due course. The following parking suspensions are currently envisaged (Refer to drawings in 6.15): Location Phoenix Place Mount Pleasant Phoenix Place Number Duration of Bays 2 24 months 2 12 months 7 12 months Assumptions Footpath partially taken over on Phoenix Place and Gough Street for Safety reasons (1.2mtr clear width when partially taken over) During Basement Construction for excavation trucks movement. Footpath partially or fully taken over on Phoenix Place for Safety reasons (1.2mtr clear width when partially taken over) There is no taxi stand, bus lane nor bus stop in the immediate vicinity of the site, therefore no closure or relocation will be required.

43 6.16 Drawings of any highway works (Necessary to enable construction to take place e.g. construction of temporary vehicular accesses). These will agreed with LB Camden Highways prior to creating the new vehicular accesses. Before works commence, traffic management arrangements will be agreed between the contractor and LB Camden. Deliveries / construction vehicles will be programmed through use of a managed delivery booking system. Construction vehicles will not be permitted to stand and queue to enter the site and as part of the delivery management system holding areas away from the site may be used to manage the vehicle flow Safety signage, barriers and accessibility measures such as ramps and lighting etc. All hoardings will be lit in accordance with the licence requirements and warning signage will be used in accordance with the Traffic Signs Manual Chapter 8 for all works impacting the highway. Appropriate warning and safety signage will be placed to advise pedestrians and road users to be aware of construction traffic and construction vehicles turning into and out of the site. These arrangements will be developed by the contractor. Signage will be secured to the hoardings around the property; including the contractors name and contact details, copies of Camden Planning Consent and Licence and Considerate Constructors Scheme registration details. At all entrances and exits to be used by construction vehicles there will be traffic marshals and gatemen to manage the vehicle movements and interface with pedestrians and road users. Contractors will be required to adhere to the CLOCS Standard throughout the duration of the contract. With a system for checking and auditing vehicles to ensure compliance Details of any diversion, disruption or other anticipated use of the public highway during the construction period Long term closures and diversions of the highway are not anticipated, however short term diversions and closures will be required for periods of a few days to allow erection and dismantle of tower cranes. Details of these will be produced by the contractor and agreed with LB Camden as appropriate. Applications for any road closure and crane permits will be made a minimum of 6 weeks in advance.

44 6.19 VRU Pedestrians and cyclists All vehicles serving the site are to be FORS registered to Bronze standard as a minimum and actively promote the TfL cyclist awareness Fleet Operators Recognition Scheme (FORS). Any vehicles attempting to deliver to site without the correct registration or vehicles without cyclist protection measures fitted will be turned away from site. A risk assessment will be carried out relating to the safe movement of plant, site vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles making deliveries to the site or removing spoil or demolition material will travel via designated routes which will be agreed with LB Camden, TfL and the police as required. Generally, footpaths will be kept open except where footpaths are taken within site boundaries such as along Phoenix Place and Gough Street. Pedestrians will be diverted to footpaths across the road where they will safely be able to continue their journey. Page 44 of 58

46 6.20 Temporary structures & Hoarding on/over highway Hoardings and scaffolds will be required on the Highway to enable the demolition of existing and construction of new structures. Applications for hoarding and scaffold licences will be made to LB Camden as appropriate and in due course. These will be constructed to LB Camden standards as a minimum. 7.0 Environment 7.1 Managing the Environmental Impact of Construction This section sets out the requirements on the Principal Contractor for managing the environmental impacts of constructing the development. The Principal Contractor must prepare a site-specific method statement setting out how the requirements of the CoCP will be met. The Principal Contractor will need to demonstrate the management, monitoring, auditing and training procedures that are in place to ensure compliance with the CoCP. The Principal Contractor will also need to set out the specific roles and responsibilities of personnel in managing, monitoring all trade contractors. The specific measures to be implemented by the Principal Contractor will include: Production of a task specific method statements in accordance with this overall document Liaison with Camden Council s Environmental Inspectorate when appropriate, agreeing arrangements for specific site activities and ensuring compliance with the CoCP Responsibility for establishing and maintaining contact with Camden Council and residents, and keeping them informed of construction matters likely to affect them. Regular and frequent distribution of newsletters and attendance at meetings at the request of Camden Council with representatives of residents groups. (See under community relations below). Advising the local authority within 24 hours of any incidents of non-compliance with the CoCP and health and safety issues and responding to any reports referred by Camden Council, Police or other agencies within 24 hours, or as soon as reasonably practicable. Maintain on site, a system for recording any incidents and any ameliorative action taken for inspection by the Council s representatives. This will be forwarded to the Council on a regular basis. Ensuring as far as is reasonably practical, that necessary action has been taken and steps to avoid recurrence have been implemented. Providing an information and reporting telephone Hot Line always staffed during working hours. Information on this facility shall be prominently displayed on site hoardings. The Contractor s nominated person will attend monthly reviews with Camden Council s Environmental Inspectorate, or otherwise as requested. Facilitating Camden Council s Environmental Inspectors to undertake regular planned inspections of the site to check compliance with the CoCP and associated records. Page 46 of 58

47 7.2 Noisy Operations As the CEMP is a live document, details and times of noisy operations will be introduced into the plan by the Principal Contractor as the information becomes available. The contractor will monitor and control levels of noise and vibration from the site. Measures for reducing such levels are set out of this section. A prior approval via Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 is proposed. Noisy Operations will be: Breaking out of existing above ground and buried concrete structures within the site footprint This will be carried out using a combination of cutting and breaking techniques employing water and wire cutters, concrete munchers and pneumatic breakers. The use of hand held equipment will be minimised and robotic machines used where practicable. The work will be undertaken during normal site hours stated. General excavation This will be undertaken by tracked and wheeled excavators that will load into waiting 8 wheeled tippers. The work will be undertaken during normal site hours. Excavator and tipper engines will not be run when the plant is standing idle. Concrete placing This will be undertaken by concrete lorries discharging to either static or mobile pumps with the concrete spread and compacted in place using hand tools and pneumatic vibrators. The work will be undertaken during normal site hours. Concrete Frame / Steel frame equipment This will be undertaken using a combination of tower and mobile cranes lifting and placing from waiting delivery vehicles. Waiting vehicles will turn their engines off. Gangs will work from mobile work platforms. The work will be undertaken during normal site hours. 7.3 Noise Survey A background noise survey was undertaken for the planning application between the 6 th and the 10 th of October Threshold Noise Action Levels (NALs) will be agreed with LB Camden, as part of any Section 61 application and noise levels will be monitored during the construction phase. Noise mapping exercises can be undertaken using proprietary computer software. This can calculate, assess and predict noise exposure, allowing noise reduction measures to be planned. Page 47 of 58

48 7.4 Predicted Noise & Vibration Levels The Contractor s environmental team will undertake a noise assessment using noise predicting software which projects noise levels at adjoining properties based on the emissions made by specific plant. This noise assessment will be carried out in accordance with BS 'Code of Practice for noise and vibration on construction and open sites. This assessment allows the Contractor to select the most appropriate plant, methodology and controls to minimise disruption of buildings and homes nearby (sensitive receptors) the school and residents, during the demolition and structure work phases. A degree of vibration associated with the major structural works are inevitable due to the nature of works to be undertaken, however this nuisance will be carefully controlled, if it cannot be eliminated altogether. A vibration and movement strategy monitoring strategy can be produced, which sets limits with British Standard 5228 and The effect of vibration is often subjective and dependent upon the structures adjacent to the works. The prediction of vibration levels and the likely effects are often difficult to foresee. However, we can predict the activities that are likely to cause vibration: Movement of heavy vehicles across uneven ground Breaking out of below ground concrete obstructions Deep foundation construction such as piling Compaction of sub bases to ground slabs and roads and footpaths The table below sets out key activity noise levels for typical construction equipment and for varying percentage time periods of a working day. All predictions are based on an unobstructed line of sight from the construction noise source, and using point source propagation characteristics. Page 48 of 58
