(stuff into projects, not out of them)
Consider:
- Security:
- Use FSC plywood site hoardings in vandal prone areas, vandals kicking hoarding are more likely to hurt themselves than damage the hoarding.
- Safety:
- Large wild life park:
- Deer resistant (high) fencing required around all areas of the construction site operations
- Protection:
- Protect retained trees with fencing at perimeter of canopies, to discourage encroaching on branches, roots and trunk
- Complete external works as early as possible in contract allowing soft landscape to be completed early (allowing for growing seasons) to allow planting to mature early.
- A good psychological barrier to discourage the discarding of building rubble into the site.
- Electricity Supply:
- Ensure all sites are required to use a Green Tariff electricity supply throughout the works
- Temporary Works:
- Use FSC Plywood and other boarding for temporary words, hoarding, formwork,
- Use reject scaffold boards as vertical site hoarding clamped to scaffolding
Avoid:
- Security lighting & Hoarding lighting that is on all day in sunlight, add daylight sensing/time clock switching
- Security lighting & Hoarding lighting that is on if there is nobody on site, add PIR/Time clock switching
