The structural works element of the Contract will be fully designed by the appointed structural works engineer: Mason Navarro Pledge. 3|Page Symm & Co Ltd CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD The design portion elements that will be the responsibility of the contractor will be: • • • Temporary support work Bespoke joinery Plumbing and electrical Constraints The owner intends to vacate the property for the duration of the works. There will be some alterations to the incoming services where they pass through the basement works. We will maintain a “live” connection of the utilities; gas, water, electricity and drainage for the Phase 1 and Phase 2 works. All of the Utilities have been contacted to establish positions of all live services and copies of location plans / photographs are attached. The electrical connection is to be re-located and a quotation has been obtained from UK Power Networks. 2.0 CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN We set out in this section our proposed Traffic Management Plan based upon guidance headings provided by the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea. 2.1 Route for access and egress of construction vehicles We will establish the following proposed traffic route for construction vehicles to and from the site; Approaching the site: • Vehicles will approach from Holland Park Avenue • From Holland Park Avenue turn into Ladbroke Grove • From Ladbroke Grove turn left into Lansdowne Road Departing the site: • Vehicles will leave from 61 Lansdowne Road • Will turn left into Lansdowne Rise • From Lansdowne Rise will turn right into Lansdowne Crescent • From Lansdowne Crescent turn right into Ladbroke Grove • From Ladbroke Grove into Holland Park Avenue We have appended a map plan showing the above routing of traffic. The routes indicated above can accommodate the vehicles that will visit the works. The proposed works to the house are comparatively minor. 4|Page Symm & Co Ltd 2.2 CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD Access arrangements to site We would envisage and request during the Phase 1 works for the parking bay area directly in front of the property, 61 Lansdowne Road to be suspended. During this phase the typical vehicles to visit will be:• 6 and 8 wheel grab trucks – these will be used for the removal of the debris from the demolition of existing vaults structure and for disposal of excavated material. • 6 wheel concrete truck – to be used for concrete pours to foundation, new basement slab, new walls and ground floor slab. • Medium size material delivery trucks The timetable for deliveries and removal vehicles will be between 10am and 4pm. During the Phase One, (forming basement) there will be a hoarding erected in the road around a skip for the purposes of removing excavated spoil and debris. A conveyor belt will be installed at high level over the pavement and be fully enclosed, thus allowing the pavement to remain in use. During Phase Two deliveries, concrete pours and the removal of debris and waste materials, whilst the construction vehicle sits in the road directly outside 61 Lansdowne Road, the footpath will be temporarily closed using movable barriers. A banks man will be in attendance to re-direct pedestrians to the opposite footpath. 2.3 The estimated number of vehicles We anticipate during the Phase 1 works the average number of vehicles over the period would be one per day, with a maximum per day of three. For the Phase 2 works which is a soft refurbishment of the existing property, we anticipate an average of one vehicle per day over the duration of the works, with a maximum of three vehicles. The typical vehicles delivering to the property in this phase will be smaller i.e. vans and open back trucks. For waste material and debris removal this would be undertaken as “a fixed skip surrounded by a hoarding as described above with the skip sizes being a mix of 6 yard and 8 yard skip. 2.4 Details of the vehicle loading area During Phase One only there will be a hoarded skip immediately in front of the property which will be removed once the Phase One works are complete. Our proposal for the hoarding around the skip and conveyor is as the attached hoarding proposal photographs (attached). 5|Page Symm & Co Ltd CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD During the Phase Two works the hoarding will be removed and this parking space will be cordoned off with temporary barriers to allow access as and when required for deliveries. As the proposed works are comparatively small in nature and the volume of traffic as mentioned above in Section 2.3 will be minimal. 2.5 Details of vehicle call-up procedure The Main Contractor’s Site Manager will be responsible for arranging and co-ordinating deliveries to the site to ensure the site is clear; Phase 1 – the intention is to suspend in the parking bay directly in front of the property to ensure there is space for the construction vehicle and it does not block local residential traffic. Phase 2 – the intention will be not to suspend the parking bay as Phase One, but temporary block the bay as and when required, the vehicles for this phase will be smaller, lighter and less frequent. The area directly in front of the property will be temporarily “coned-off” in good time prior to the arrival, so to minimise disruption to residents parking. 2.6 Estimate for type of parking suspension The existing and current parking facility directly outside the property is “residents parking” bays. The house to the left of the property has a drop kerb leading onto a drive. The access will be maintained clear at all times, to prevent any inconvenience to the next-door neighbour. In Phase One we estimate a requirement to suspend the “residents parking bay” directly outside the property for a period of sixteen (16) to eighteen (18) weeks. 2.7 Details of diversions, disruption and use of public highway We will retain the footpath open, the only time the footpath will be temporarily closed, will be for concrete lorries, grab trucks and deliveries where the Main Contractor’s banks-man will direct pedestrians. The Contractor will take note of local rubbish collection to ensure this not disrupted, or collection prevented to properties. 2.8 Utilities We have obtained copies of local utility service routes and enclose with this plan copies of the layouts provided by them. In the case of British Telecom they went to site and marked out the 6|Page Symm & Co Ltd CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD location of their services which have been transposed on to the site location plan. The relevant utility companies will be contacted prior to any works being carried out where services run within or near the area to be excavated. Prior to any excavation all existing services will be mapped, located and made known to the workforce. Supplies will be retained to the property during the works and the gas and electricity meters relocated to suit the new structure at the front elevation at lower ground level. 2.9 Works Programme We are currently working on a project programme but the major dates are as set above in the introduction namely; • Phase One – Anticipated timeframe: between 1st May 2013 and 30th Aug 2013 • Phase Two – Anticipated timeframe: between 1st May 2013 and 20th December 2013 The site operating hours will be 07.30 to 17.30 Monday to Friday. Operatives will arrive to the work-face at 07.30. Noisy work will not take place outside of the hours between 08.00 and 16.00. 2.10 Site Plan Boundary We confirm the works are contained with the boundary of the property. 2.11 Main Contractor Symm & Co with Box Associates will arrange to meet with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea to review and reaffirm the agreed Construction Traffic Management Plan. 2.12 Residents/neighbours It has been made aware to us that there has been numerous construction projects in Lansdowne Road, which have caused a level of inconvenience and disruption to the vicinity and therefore the site management of this project will communicate with the neighbours so they are made aware of; vehicle movements, particular noisy works and works that impact visibility i.e. external scaffold, hoarding as well as any other issues that are likely to cause any inconvenience. 2.13 Complaints Procedure 7|Page Symm & Co Ltd CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD In the first instance any complaints are to be made to the Site Manager who will assess the complaint and take steps to deal with the complaint. Should the complainant not be satisfied with the steps taken by the Site Manager then they may refer to the Contracts Manager. Should the complaint still not be resolved by the Contracts Manager then the complainant should contact the Company and speak to a Director of Symm & Co. Site Manager: ……..to be identified………. Tel:..................................... Contracts Manager …to be identified…….. Tel:.................................... Head Office: 2.14 Tel: 01865 254900 Monitoring of Construction Traffic Management Plan The monitoring of the CTMP will be in the first instance by the Site Manager and the Contract Manager. Any supplier / subcontractor not following the requirements of the CTMP will be warned as to their behaviour of their driver and that any subsequent misdemeanours may result in the cancellation of their contract. The Site manager will check the traffic route on a regular basis and liaise with contractors on other developments along the route when major deliveries are being planned so as to avoid problems with access and deliveries to this and other sites. 2.15 Instructions on the CTMP to Suppliers / Sub-Contractors and Site visitors We appreciate the area is a heavily residential environment, so we will instruct all delivering suppliers / sub-contractors to follow the traffic management plan. A copy of the agreed traffic route will be issued as part of the sub-contract/supplier terms and conditions of contract and every supplier/ sub-contractor will be expected to comply with all of the contractual terms and conditions. Anyone found not following the instructions will be reprimanded with sanctions applied for any repeated offences. Deliveries will be managed (by the site manager) to avoid vehicle stacking. The site manager will also liaise and advise the neighbours in advance of major deliveries that may affect traffic flow. All Site visitors will be asked (if visiting by private vehicle) to find parking away from the site and use public transport wherever possible. 3.0 APPENDED DOCUMENTS We list below the appended documents for reference:1. 2. 3. 8|Page Site plan – showing site boundaries Proposed traffic Route plan UK Power Networks service location plans dated 25th Jan 2013 Symm & Co Ltd 4. 5. 6. 9|Page CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN Thames water Search dated 18th Jan 2013 National Grid letter dated 22nd Jan 2013 Photographs showing equipment in the pavement. 61 LANSDOWNE ROAD
