|SITE INDUCTION |Ensure that a site induction is carried out with all site personnel prior to the works commencing |
| |To ensure that all works are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the attached risk |
| |assessments |
| |Ensure that all risk assessments have been discussed and that emergency and fire procedures are in place |
| |Ensure that all site personnel are familiar with the safe use of plant to be used |
| |Ensure that site plant has been appropriately maintained and is fit for use |
| | |
| |Before commencement of works, ensure that the site is ‘walked’ by the operatives to familiarise themselves|
| |with its terrain |
| |Remove any obvious hazards and the like. |
| |Carry out visual check for both overhead and underground services |
| |Cable Avoidance Tool is to be used prior to works to establish locations of underground services |
|GENERAL SITE APPRAISEL |Check for lose and damaged branches and remove as required |
| |Check ground conditions are suitable for safe working |
|THE WORKS |Parking Bays Away From Tree Roots |
| |To excavate area 290mm below required finish levels and dispose of all arisings on site. To supply and lay|
| |new 255 x 125mm HB kerbs on concrete bed and haunch. To supply and fit 2 no. new 900 x 450mm diameter |
| |plastic road gullies with 425 x 425mm cast iron gratings. To connect to existing drainage with 10mm |
| |diameter plastic pipe. To supply and lay 200mm depth of granular sub-base, 60mm depth of AC 20 dense |
| |binder 100/150 asphalt and 30mm depth of AC 10 close surface 100/150 asphalt consolidated. |
| |Parking Bays Above Tree Roots |
| |To carefully excavate BY HAND DIGGING existing turf to an approximate depth of 50mm and dispose of all |
| |arisings. To exacavate for new kerbing BY HAND DIGGING and dispose of all arisings. To supply and lay new |
| |2600mmx120mmx200mm railway sleepers and secure with new 600mmx50mmx50mm wooden pegs. To supply and lay |
| |200mm depth of Type 3 granular sub-base, 60mm depth of AC 20 open binder 100/150 asphalt and 30mm depth of |
| |AC 10 open surface 100/150 asphalt consolidated. |
| |Footpath Above Tree Roots |
| |To carefully excavate BY HAND DIGGING existing turf to an approximate depth of 50mm and dispose of all |
| |arisings on site. To excavate for new kerbing BY HAND DIGGING and dispose of all arisings on site. To |
| |supply and lay new 150x25mm tanalised timber edging board and secure with 600mmx50mmx50mm wooden pegs. To |
| |supply and lay 150mm depth of Type 3 granular sub-base, 45mm depth of AC 20 open binder 100/150 asphalt and|
| |20mm depth of AC 6 open surface 100/150 asphalt consolidated. |
| | |
| |Bike Shelter Base |
| |NO EXCAVATION TO BE CARRIED OUT. To supply and lay 100mm depth of granular sub-base. To supply and fit |
| |shuttering. To supply and lay polythene membrane, a single layer of A142 reinforcing mesh and 150mm depth |
| |of C30 concrete. |
| | |
| |7.2.1 To avoid damage to tree roots, existing ground levels should be retained |
| |within the RPA. Intrusion into soil (other than for piling) within the RPA is |
| |generally not acceptable, and topsoil within it should be retained in situ. |
| |However, limited manual excavation within the RPA might be acceptable, |
| |subject to justification. Such excavation should be undertaken carefully, using |
| |hand-held tools and preferably by compressed air soil displacement. |
| |NOTE Due to the demands that manual excavation places on a development |
| |project, and limitations arising from health and safety considerations, it is not |
| |realistic to plan for excavation using hand-held tools where there is a need for |
| |trench shoring or grading the sides of the excavation to a stable angle of repose. |
| |7.2.2 Roots, whilst exposed, should immediately be wrapped or covered to |
| |prevent desiccation and to protect them from rapid temperature changes. Any |
| |wrapping should be removed prior to backfilling, which should take place as |
| |soon as possible. |
| |7.2.3 Roots smaller than 25 mm diameter may be pruned back, making a clean |
| |cut with a suitable sharp tool (e.g. bypass secateurs or handsaw), except where |
| |they occur in clumps. Roots occurring in clumps or of 25 mm diameter and over |
| |should be severed only following consultation with an arboriculturist, as such |
| |roots might be essential to the tree’s health and stability. |
| |7.2.4 Prior to backfilling, retained roots should be surrounded with topsoil or |
| |encompassed sharp sand (builders’ sand should not be used because of its high |
| |salt content, which is toxic to tree roots), or other loose inert granular fill, |
| |before soil or other suitable material is replaced. This material should be free of |
| |contaminants and other foreign objects potentially injurious to tree roots. |
