Active Description of Construction Site
Site establishment
Planning
One of the key successes to most projects is in the planning preparation. It is important to establish the key members of the site team as soon as possible and then establish them on to the site. As much time as possible should be allowed for planning and preparation with the team on site. Planning includes various parts such as the completion of the network diagram, cash flow and labour preparation.
Preparation
Before starting anything, the site has to be fully prepared for vehicles access, workers as well as safety and amenities. All weather access is provided for heavy machinery and site vehicles. Haul roads and access ways are cleared of vegetation and ground is compacted to allow for and support heavy loads such as trucks carrying equipment and materials. Preparation also consists of getting all the equipements ready for use before the actual construction process begins, these include storage facilities, site compound and amenities as described below.
Clear vegetation
A dozer or similar vehicle may be used to clear vegetation. Attachments such as a rake blade will be used to help clear the vegetation without moving large soil masses. Since ground material is mostly comprised of granite, the ground is quite sturdy. Rollers will be used to compact the ground reducing wear and dust on the roads. It is important to consider factors such as environmental issues and sustainable issues when dealing with vegetation as tree-huggers might slow down the construction process. It might be wise to consult an engineer or a site plan before clearing any vegetation since clearing an area that did not have to be cleared would result in losses in money and time.
Site compound and storage
A designated area is to be set aside on both sides of the creek for car parking, offices and storage close by and in view of the construction site. Parking should be placed next to the entrance to the site as no cars should travek through the
