Objectives Productivity enhancement through economic utilisation of site space Profitability Safe and healthy work environment Demonstrate good standard of work organisation There is no right answer to a layout/organisation problem Just a solution that ‘works’ for a particular site and company policy PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Site layout includes Structure to be built Temporary Health & safety and security Material areas Main buildings and waste storage and workshop equipment/plants Electric power supply, water supply Access routes PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

What is the different between construction site layout planning and temporary works planning? PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Temporary works includes (CPD: Management of temporary works, 2010) site hoardings or fencing (2, 3) foundations and support to site cabins and accommodation units trench and excavation supports Scaffolding support of construction plant falsework and formwork for reinforced concrete structures CM 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

…Temporary works includes temporary bracing and propping of structural frames under construction temporary propping, shoring, facade retention and needling works for refurbishment can even include demolition projects CM 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Temporary Works in Construction “parts of the work that allow or enable construction of, protect, support or provide access to the permanent works, and which might or might not remain in place at the completion of the works” (CPD: Management of temporary works, 2010) CM 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Construction site Layout Planning Involves planning for temporary facilities, material movement, material storage and equipments on the construction site. (Mincks & Johnston, 2004) Concerned with the existence, positioning and timing of temporary facilities that are used to carry out a construction project. (Mawdesley, Al-jibouri & Yang, 2002) PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

…Construction site Layout Planning Site layout is how to locate plant and equipment, site offices, work areas, site boundary and existing contour levels, in order to complete a construction project on schedule in a safe and efficient manner (Hong Kong Universities/Queen Mary Interchange) Needs to be updated to match the different construction phases (e. g. excavation, foundation, frame, interior) PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Temporary buildings Jobsite office Dry place for lunch and changing clothes Sanitary facilities Tool storage PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Health & Safety and Security First aid facilities Signs Barricades and perimeter fencing Securing and locking Arrange security patrol for night PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Material and waste storage and workshop areas Don’t forget the subcontractors’ needs Different materials, different intervals Delivery and removal Weather protection, security Recycling PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Material Handling Principles (Mincks & Johnston, 2004 ) Deliver materials close to work locations ◦ Use delivery people where possible ◦ Use the least expensive labour for material movement Avoid Double handling ◦ Deliver from truck to location of use ◦ Avoid moving materials once delivered Anticipate equipment needs resources) (mix & match Select optimum equipment sizes PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Main equipment and plants Moving people and material PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Temporary utilities Power Water Waste water PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012

Transportation routes Access to and from the site Access within the site PMP 1 Taija Puolitaival Unitec 2012
