3 Project Overview The MacKimmie Redevelopment project is a substantial addition and renovation project being undertaken by the University of Calgary. The project s objective is to grow existing infrastructure to meet the expanding needs of the facility s users and to invigorate the campus community with a modern complex featuring leading technologies. The project is located at 434 University Court NW. The project consists of the redevelopment of four main buildings, namely the existing 12-storey Tower, 4-storey Block, 2-storey Link and 4-storey Professional Faculties buildings. The project includes demolition, renovation and new construction work. Construction is scheduled to start in autumn 2017 with completion of the final phase expected in summer The (PPSSP) addresses the potential interaction between the proposed construction work and the members of public in adjacent areas. The intent of this document is to identify the principal risks to the public and mitigate these risks using physical separation of the work and sequencing of the work. Construction Sequence Construction of the MacKimmie Redevelopment is phased to accommodate project timelines as well as the University of Calgary s decanting requirements. The phases of the project are detailed below. At this time it is expected that there may be some overlap between phases. Phase 1 Tower Demolition and Redevelopment The Tower phase will commence in autumn 2017 with the demolition of the existing Tower, which is not currently occupied by the University of Calgary. Demolition for the Tower is limited to interior and exterior elements, with the base concrete structure to remain. Once demolition is complete two additional concrete floors will be added to the existing 12-storey Tower. Redevelopment works will then commence on the 14-storey Tower. Substantial completion of the Tower is scheduled for summer Phase 2 Block & Link Demolition and Redevelopment The existing 2-storey Link and 4-storey Block buildings are currently occupied by the University of Calgary. Relocation of occupants is currently scheduled to follow the completion of the Tower redevelopment, but may be advanced should the University of Calgary elect to do so. Once vacated, the existing Block and Link buildings will be completely demolished to below foundation level, leaving the existing piles abandoned below grade. New construction will then commence on the new 4-storey Block and Link buildings. Substantial completion of the Block and Link is scheduled for summer 2022, and could be sooner should the University of Calgary elect to advance the decanting schedule. Phase 3 Professional Faculties Renovations The existing 4-storey Professional Faculties building is to be renovated to upgrade program space and to modernize the facility to current codes. At this time the scope and schedule have not been defined, but this phase will be completed with or before the completion of Phase 2. December 7, 2017 Page 2

4 Site Safety Plan This safety plan summarizes the key safety highlights that may be relevant to individuals not familiar with the project. This plan is not intended to fully detail all the health and safety policies, roles, responsibilities, programs, practices or procedures which all employers are legally required to fulfill. The requirements and actions of any particular role, responsibility, program, practice or procedure are detailed in the Stuart Olson and/or Contractors OH&S programs, and are used in support of this plan. Readers are encouraged to consult the appropriate OH&S program for a full understanding of any particular health and safety action, measure or requirement. In addition, this plan does not supersede or replace in any way Stuart Olson s Health, Safety & Environmental Manual. Site Logistics The site will be accessed from Campus Drive NW to the south of the project area. A direct route through an existing parking lot has been established for deliveries to access the site more effectively. Deliveries will pass through this parking lot, under an existing pedestrian overpass, then enter the site by backing up using an adjacent turn-around area. Within the site area, construction traffic will be limited to mobile equipment (zoomboom, bobcat or similar) as well as a tower crane to move materials about the site. There is also a small compound in the adjacent parking lot in which deliveries can be staged and materials stored. Traffic and waste leaving the site will exit the site boundary and leave the site under the same pedestrian overpass, then out of the campus via University Way NW. Given the heavily congested pedestrian and truck traffic routes adjacent to the site, the protection of the public will be paramount. The interface of construction traffic entering and exiting the site with public pedestrians and traffic will be managed by full-time flag personnel situated in the three most congested areas. In addition to the flag personnel, the University of Calgary has recently installed a gate system to control what traffic can pass through the area. An enclosed pedestrian walkway is also being constructed to force pedestrians south and away from this congested area as they leave Murray Fraser Hall. Site Access Site access and egress for foot traffic will be via one of four gates. Each gate will have safety information posted as well as directions to the safety office for orientation and sign-in. The site will only be accessible to authorized personnel. Site workers and other stakeholders that have a need to enter the site area will immediately report to the site office for orientation prior to accessing the site. The sitespecific orientation explains Stuart Olson s site-specific safety policy as well as that of the University of Calgary. All workers that have completed our site-specific orientation (which combines Stuart Olson s standard orientation, site-specific details and the U of C s CASP orientation) will receive a hard hat sticker. Workers will be able to enter the site freely provided that they have the appropriate PPE. Our gate personnel will be watching for the sitespecific stickers. Personal Protective Equipment The following personal protective equipment will be mandatory on the Project when within the site boundary;.1 Steel toed work boots with a minimum 6 ankle protection.2 CSA approved hard hat.3 High visibility vest or high vis coveralls.4 Safety glasses.5 Gloves appropriate for the task being undertaken.6 Additional personal protective equipment is required where prescribed by the OH&S Regulation and the worker s employer December 7, 2017 Page 3

5 Site Signage Clear signage will be developed on site to communicate the site control requirements to the public, workers and emergency response staff. This will include 24 hour contact information, traffic direction, warning signage, city site contact information, safety signage and general project information. Site signage will be installed on perimeter site fencing, with key information posted at all construction gates. Additional signage to direct members of the public will be installed as necessary. Hoisting, Lifting and Access Hoisting and lifting on the site will be performed by the tower crane whenever possible. Low-level lifts can be completed by the zoom-boom, while any additional lifts may require mobile cranes. Access to the building elevations will be accomplished by man baskets from the tower crane, swing stages, mastclimbing stages and man lifts. Access to the floors will be by the existing elevators throughout demolition. Once demolition is complete and the existing elevators are decommissioned, floors will be accessed by personnel using stairs, with material being brought to the floors in a skip hoist as well as on outriggers loaded by the tower crane. Advanced Weather Forecasting Stuart Olson will employ the advanced weather forecasting system (AWFS) to regulate site activities based on weather conditions. All materials stored in any place on site will be secured and tied down after hours and during times of high winds, as forecasted by the AWFS. Emergency Access and Emergency Response Plan In the event of an on-site emergency Stuart Olson will sound an alarm to notify all personnel to gather at the designated muster point. Should the emergency require City of Calgary emergency services, the responder will call emergency services (9-1-1) immediately. Following the call to emergency services, the superintendent will also contact U of C campus security ( ), as well as Stuart Olson s safety manager depending on the nature of the emergency. Emergency services will access the site using the access Campus Drive NW. This access will be coordinated with emergency service providers and Campus Security prior to the start of demolition work on site. December 7, 2017 Page 4
