3 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This construction management plan has been prepared and submitted in support of the first Phase of new school buildings and associated external works at Tolworth Girls School and Sixth Form. 1.2 The proposals comprise a new staff car park, new three-storey school building, landscaping, service area and new school cycle parking 1.3 The Construction Management Plan (CMP) describes the anticipated construction works, and sets out potential construction sequence. It identifies the environmental considerations associated with these activities and outlines proposed management and mitigation strategies to ensure minimum impact and maximum safety throughout the construction process. 1.4 The school occupies a 5.94 hectare site bounded by the A3 dual carriageway to the south west and accessed from Fullers Way North. The school share their site with Tolworth Gymnastics Club who have right of access across the school land. Tolworth Recreation Centre is immediately adjacent and shares an access point with the school. At the same time as the new school building, a new access road will be under construction to serve the new residential development. The interface between all these groups and the construction traffic is a key element of this plan. 1.5 The CMP is based on current design information and site constraints. It draws on the professional opinion and experience of the consultant team. The CMP will be developed and expanded as the project progresses and will be subject to many external factors including other development works on site, technical consents and funding Aerial view of the site from south with A3 in the foreground 1671_4.1_160518_LAA_Phase C Construction Management Plan Page 3 of 11

All contractors parking to be in site compound, as identified on site set-up plan. Storage of plant and materials to be located, as far as reasonably possible, in locations to limit the environmental impact of all the plants, trees and shrubbery with the site. Regard to the neighbouring properties will be maintained, and far as possible, within the constraints of the site. c) Temporary Site Access. A temporary access road is to be built from the rear of the Tolworth Recreation centre car park to the Phase C construction site. This will be fenced and kept secure throughout the works, and reinstated to playing field upon completion. d) Signing system for works traffic. Main contractor s finger boards to be installed on A3, Fuller s Way North, through Recreation Centre car park and along temporary road. e) Measures for the laying of dust, suppression of noise and abatement of other nuisance arising from development works. Following methods will be followed to control site nuisances: 1. Effective netted screens around dusty activities. 3. Suitable water supply available at all times on the site. 4. Wet cleaning methods as dust suppression wherever possible. 5. Minimize duration of dust and noise generating activities. 6. Retain stockpiles of material and waste shortest duration possible. 7. All site skips to be covered. 8. Netting to be kept clean using wet methods. 9. Ensure no site run-off of water or mud. 10. During demolition activities on site, a water based dust suppression system will be used as a means to limit the emission of dust. f) Location of ancillary site buildings. Ancillary site buildings will be within the compound area. g) Measures to protect any tree, shrubbery and other landscape features to be retained on the site during the course of development. No retained trees or shrubbery within close proximity of the works. Hard-standings and paving in proximity to works being carried out will be suitably protected against damage as required. h) Means of enclosure of the site. The site will be enclosed in heras fencing with braced feet and full protective mesh covering. i) Wheel washing equipment. Under no circumstance will vehicles drive, park or cross over unmade ground on the site, mitigating the possibility of mud and muck being transferred to the council roads. As such no site fixed wheel washing equipment has been deemed necessary. Portable washing equipment will be located on site for the duration of the project in case of isolated incidents. j) The parking of vehicles of the site operatives and visitors. All contractors parking to be in site compound, as identified on site set-up plan. k) The erection and maintenance of security hoarding 1671_4.1_160518_LAA_Phase C Construction Management Plan Page 8 of 11

9 The site will be enclosed in heras fencing with braced feet and full protective mesh covering. l) A scheme for recycling/disposing of waste resulting from demolition and construction works. Full COSHH and Type 3 pre-demolition asbestos surveys will be undertaken and any relevant materials will be removed by licensed contractors in accordance with current regulations. Specialist contractors will be employed to carry out the demolition. In accordance with current legislation they will segregate different waste materials i.e. concrete/wood/soil and they will be recycled rather than disposed of to landfill. General site waste will be loaded and removed by skip to waste transfer stations. This waste will then be sorted by mechanical and manual means. 1671_4.1_160518_LAA_Phase C Construction Management Plan Page 9 of 11

11 7.0 Construction Traffic and Site Access Traffic routes to site area via the M25 and A3, and thence via Fullers Way North. Construction traffic will be discouraged from accessing or leaving the site from the north to avoid congestion on the local road network. Signage to the site will be erected, in consultation with Surrey County Council and the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. Warning signage will be erected on the A3 to alert drivers to potential construction traffic. Construction traffic will be prohibited from turning out onto the A3 when leaving site before 9.00am. Site access for phase C to be via Tolworth Recreation Centre car park. The route will be well sign posted and a management plan will be put in place to ensure site traffic does not conflict with, or cause a hazard to building users. Tolworth Recreation Centre (TRC) is used primarily by the school during working hours, so the car park is generally quiet. Peak use of the TRC is evenings and weekends, when the construction site will not operate. A temporary access road for phase C will be set up around the back of the school campus School entrance from Fullers Way North 8.0 Health and Safety and Environmental Impact The main contractor will be required to appoint an independent health and safety inspector, and to conduct regular Health and safety and Fire Safety audits. During the construction of the access road, liaison may be required with the local fire brigade, police and ambulance service to ensure full emergency access is maintained. Separate emergency access from the A3 to be in place before construction work begins on the new residential development. The ground contamination to be dealt with strictly in accordance with the specialists recommendations. The contractor to ensure adequate drainage is available throughout the works. Best practice to be observed in the control of airborne pollution, noise, dust and debris. Best practice management of water resources to be employed throughout. 1671_4.1_160518_LAA_Phase C Construction Management Plan Page 11 of 11
