Part B: Environmental Management 2 Prepare a 700 word business case (the word count does not include the bibliography) include inter alia the impact of the new project on the local area environment, end users and local residents. The Carlton Digby Special Needs School is to build on the existing site of the school playing fields and the caretakers house. The existing school is to be demolished once the children are moved into the new school. The school is located in a residential area and is to constructed on a green field site. Local area Issues & opportunities of the project The large school imposes on small residential houses and changes the landscape. Alters the view from some residents houses. During the construction there will be traffic caused from the project and there maybe dirt and mud from the site transferred onto the road from lorry tires. The local area maybe more congested during deliveries. There is a removal of green fields. Disturbing natural environment. There is precedence over such as infill of land. There is a need to improve infrastructure and develop the local area and service to increase the locations reputation. The increase of infrastructure and services leads to more opportunity in the local area. Increase of pollution and noise during construction and demolition.

Recommended solutions The building is to be built at an appropriate height so that the view of other residence is not to obstructed. Also the design of the building will be aesthetically pleasing so it may alter but not necessarily worsen the view. The roads and immediate area will be cleaned on a regular basis avoid presenting hazard to road users and pedestrians. There will be suitable and efficient traffic control systems in place for when there are deliveries or there is interference with the road to help improve the traffic flow. Although the construction and demolition of existing school may increase short term pollution, pollution will in the long run decrease due to the efficiency of the new building and also trees will be planted to reduce carbon footprint.

End users Issues & opportunities of the project It provides increased provision for special needs schools and provide better opportunity for local children with disabilities to gain access to better quality educational facilities and care and a better education which make it more comfortable and hospitable for the children.

Daniel Majeed N0262490 Construction Management

It allows access to amenities for the local children with disabilities whom require special needs facilities for educational purpose. Improves quality of life for the children and makes staffs jobs easier and more efficient allowing them to provide a better education to the pupils. May allow the end user to stay in their residential community because they will not have to leave to seek a school with modern and specialised facilities as the area has developed to cater more to the local residence.

Local residence Issues & opportunities of the project Loss of green site. The loss of the green site will be a cost to the residence however they did not previously have access to the area as it was part of the school. Decreases in green site are not ideal but sometimes are necessary to improve the infrastructure of a community and help develop opportunity in the immediate future. Local residence could take precedence to develop their own properties. The local community will get improved opportunity to use facilities, such as sports hall and pool at certain times. The building density will increase making the landscape more urbanised. Workers at height may be able to see into residential properties. Litter in the area may increase if there is in an increase of congestion. Noise pollution will be increased due to construction.

Recommended solutions Leaflets will be dropped through residence letter box explaining the benefits of the school and the objectives of the project. Also meetings will take place for local residence to build relations with construction team and address any issues. Bins and recycling bins will be put in the area to help combat any littering. Screens will be out up to block views to surrounding properties.

Part C: Health and Safety Management 3 Prepare a 700 word report (the word count does not include the executive summary or the bibliography) identifying the health and safety issues related to the construction phase of the project identifying in the main body of the report the 6 most important health and safety issues to be included on the risk register and the mitigation strategies.

Executive Summary The six health and safety issues are: Working at heights Noise Asbestos Crane Manual handling PPE Introduction The Carlton Digby Special Needs School is to build on the existing site of the school playing fields and the caretakers house. The existing school is to be demolished once the children are moved into the new school. The school is located in a residential area and is to constructed on a green field site. Main body Health and safety issues Working at heights When working at height there is risk of serious injury or death if a worker is to fall. To minimise the risk of this the risks must be assessed. Precaution must be taken at all times to avoid tripping or dropping something over the edge. Clear method statements must be issued to everyone who will work at heights. Roof work Safe access must be planned, and preventions to falling from edges or openings. Fragile surfaces - The order for working on or near fragile surfaces is avoid, control, communicate, co-operate. Ladders working with ladders can be dangerous due to heights and also the security of the ladder. When using a ladder a worker must refer to the three key safety issues which are position, condition and safe use. Tower scaffolds The selection of the right tower for the work. The tower should be used with caution and awareness. It should also be used, erected and dismantled safely. The scaffolding should be checked and inspected regularly and falling prevention should be considered regularly.

Daniel Majeed N0262490 Construction Management

Noise Noise is a considerable health and safety issue for both the workers and the public. Construction can be very loud and noise levels from some equipment, plant and machinery can be damaging if sustained for too long. To help combat this worker using heavy machinery or are working near to it must wear ear protectors. Noise barriers can be used help stop noise from the construction releasing at high levels onto the local area. Also some plant can be fitted with noise filtering exhausts to help lessen the noise levels on site. Asbestos Under current UK legislation building managers or owners have a legal responsibility to confirm the asbestos status within their property and manage it adequately. Firstly there must be an asbestos survey carried out by a competent and trained asbestos surveyor. There are three types of Asbestos Surveys: Type 1 - Location and Risk Assessments - a non-invasive survey designed to first identify those materials recognised to contain asbestos; Type 2 - Bulk Sampling and Analysis as well as locating those materials containing asbestos, samples of those materials believed to contain asbestos are collected and then sent to be tested and analysed in an accredited laboratory. The results collected are then used to provide a report of ACMs contained within the premises and their condition, this report must be provided to anyone who may disturb the materials, such as building contractors. Type 3 - Full Sampling and Identification an access to all areas of the site survey. This is usually commissioned to provide a definitive analysis for asbestos removal contractors. Removal Strategy: - Asbestos cannot be removed in situ it must be physically removed. - Decontamination plans specify a dimension and volume of earth which must be removed to eliminate contaminated soil. - The soil must be tested before removal and then replaced with clean fill. - Contaminated soil must be moved to landfill isolated by groundwater or must be moved to a facility where the contaminant can be removed and then the soil can be landfilled safely. - The soil which is to be used to landfill must be tested before and after.

Crane -The legal requirement say all lifting operations involving lifting equipment must be properly planned by a competent individual, supervised appropriately and carried out in a safe manner.

Daniel Majeed N0262490 Construction Management

Cranes and equipment must be thoroughly tested and require examinations and testing. -Crane operators and other people involved in the lifting operation must be trained and competent. Mobile and tower cranes are used a lot on construction projects and present two principal hazards: Collapse of the crane such incidence can result in multiple deaths and injuries. Falling of the load these events also present a high risk of death and major injury. Other incidents may involve people being hit by moving loads and cranes colliding with each other. Planning lifting operations A plan or record sometimes known as a method statement can be written to ensure that everyone involved understands it. Key features include:

planning with site preparation, crane erection and dismantling provision, selection and use of a suitable crane and work equipment Including safe slinging and signalling arrangements maintenance and testing of the crane and equipment; provision of correctly trained and competent personnel; supervision of the operations by personnel with the necessary authority; preventing unauthorised use or movement of the crane measures to secure safety of people not involved in the lifting.

Manual handling

Construction workers are at higher risks than most workers of sustaining a manual handling injury. Manual handling injuries are the biggest single cause of injury resulting in workers in the construction industry having to take time off . There are three methods or steps to address manual handling issues.

hazard identification identifying anything that could be a hazard. risk assessment this involves calculating and assessing the risk on wright shape and size and whether a good posture will be able to be adopted when lifting the object. risk control this provides provisions to help prevent injuries from occurring and reduce risks.

To have good awareness on site of this issue workers must be adequately trained so they understand and implement the manual handling risk management process.

Daniel Majeed N0262490 Construction Management

PPE

The use of personal protective equipment is to reduce the exposure to risks and hazards to employee when working and protect them against falling objects, moving objects and makes the worker stand out so they can be seen. The regular requirement on site is to wear steel capped boots, hard hats, glove, high visibility jackets and ear protectors if necessary.

Part D: Overview 4 Considering the issues raises in parts A, B and C prepare a 700 word revised business case (the word count does not include the bibliography) to be submitted to the Client identifying a more appropriate location for the project. This location is not a place eg Mapperly Park but you should consider the end user requirements, the environment, the transport systems, the local community and the buildability of the project.

Due to the site being in a residential area it proposes many difficulties for the project. The project may cause negative externalities to the local area and residence. It will help generate pollution to the surrounding area, noise pollution and congestion may increase due to the deliveries and general construction work. Also the site is on a greenfield which has to be removed. As the school is large it also leaves a massive impact on the landscape of the area and may inhibit view to local residence. Due to the small size of the site it means construction is harder because smaller spaces must be managed more efficiently. Also many deliveries must come at certain times as there is not a large area for vehicles to come in and out of the site. The children in the local area need this school as the last school is not enough up to technological standards and it will provide a better quality education to the children. Also it is important to try to develop the area to try and provide better opportunities within the area. The local residence can benefit by using the facilities such as the sports hall at certain times and development enables areas to grow. The transport links are not the most ideal at the current location as it is the most accessible by public transport as there is only a bus stop. The primary concern of the client is to provide better facilities for the pupils of the Carlton Digby School. The new proposed location for the project is South Crane 10 mile from the original site. The newly proposed site is situated in a less densely populated residential area and is on 4 acres of land. The extra space allows for a better access during both construction and post construction. This will make the construction process easier as there is more space for storage and organisation of materials and tools will be more efficient. There will also be less issues for local residence as there will no view blocked or imposing structure as the building will be set away from the main road and away from any other properties. There will be an increased areas outside for the children to use as a play area and activity areas and gardens could be made. The construction of the project will be less disruptive to its surrounding as there will be no issue regarding traffic as the site is situated of a quiet road. Public transport is not too bigger of issues because all children are brought to the school in cars or mini buses. The facilities will still be of high standard and the purposed site is only 10 miles from the existing site so that there will be no issue in the difficulty of location being too far away. Due to the lack of room in the existing site the design was for a 2 story building. As the new purposed site is considerably larger it means the building can be built all on a ground floor making it easier for the pupils and the staff to operate. Also there will not be an issue of trying to quickly transfer the children as it will not be on the same site as the old school. The children also will not be disturbed by the building works or the demolition of the old building as they will be on two site and it also gives the children to visit the new school to familiarize

Daniel Majeed N0262490 Construction Management

themselves with the surroundings before permanently moving there. The site will also allow the construction process to happen without as much disturbance and protest from locals and time spent on building relationships can be more efficiently used.
