1.1 General

1.1.1 All works covered within this document are to be managed and performedto the culture within the Thames Tideway Tunnel vision of Zero Incidents,Zero Harm, Zero Compromise.

1.1.2 The Code of Construction Practice(CoCP) comprises two parts:

a. Part A: General requirements. These measures are applicableproject-wide.

b. Part B: Site-specific requirements. These are site-specific measures,where there are deviations from the general requirements indicated inPart A.

1.1.3 This document comprises the CoCPPart B for the Thames TidewayTunnel project works at King Edward Memorial Park Foreshore site andidentifies the detailed site-specific measures including working hours, siteset up and servicing arrangements, taking into account the environmentalissues and consultations with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets andother stakeholders.

1.1.4 For ease of reference the CoCPPart B mirrors the headings in Part A.The CoCPPart B sets out site-specific issues and deviations from Part Aso where there are no site-specific measures reference should be made tothe measures set out in Part A.

1.1.5 A plan showing the location of the site is shown inFigure 1.1 below.

Topic Site-specific requirement

Working hours This site willshalladhere to the following working

b. extended standard.

Extended working hours are required at this site toallow for major concrete pours for shaft constructionincluding diaphragm wall panels, base slab, roof slaband other large elements. The exact timing of anyextended hours working are to be consulted andnotified to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets inadvance through S61 process.

When other types of working hours (CoCPPart A,Table 4.1) are required, these willshallbe subject toagreement with the local authority through the S61process.

Site layout The site arrangements utilise areas of the park andforeshore.

The existing childrens playground is to be relocated,and the multi-purpose sports pitch reconfigured andsurfaced, in advance of the access road works.

The use and duration of the areas within the park areto be minimised and reduced as appropriate betweenthe construction phases. This includes reducing thearea used in the existing football pitch and parkmaintenance area prior to and after shaftconstruction.

Site security / hoardingrequirements

The hoarding is to be as defined in CoCPPart Apara. 4.3.4c, 2.4m high planted hoarding on publicfacing sections.

The site vehicle access route between the relocatedjunior play area and the Rotherhithe TunnelVentilation Shaft is to have secure, 2.4m high greenpainted steel open mesh fencing to allow viewsthrough to the river to be maintained. Outside ofapproved working hours and within park opening

hours the steel mesh fencing on the access route,between the relocated junior play area and theRotherhithe Tunnel Ventilation shaft, shall beremoved to allow for open access through the park tothe river frontage.

Hoardings to be increased from 2.4m to 3.6m aroundthe main shaft working areas.

River works As per text in CoCPPart A.

Other items Landscape plans to show retention of both tenniscourts and a reduced multi sport pitches size.

A site-specific lighting plan is required. The lightingwillshalladdress the impact on terrestrial and aquaticecology and include the use of low level directionallighting where possible whilst meeting safe workrequirements. The Lighting Plan is to be submittedand agreed with the London Borough of TowerHamlets.

Site cabins and welfare facilities to be dark greencolor to tie in with the planted hoardings.

Site office and welfare facilities shall not be locatedon the sports pitches.

Control measures See item above on increased hoarding height.

The use of low vibration piling, eg hydraulicjacking/hydraulic press methods, are required for theconstruction of the cofferdam where practicable andwhere ground conditions allow these methods to beadopted. In the piling methods, the contractor needsto give consideration to the proximity of sensitivereceptors including Free Trade Wharf South.

Compaction of material on site willshallbe

undertaken using machinery generating the lowestpracticable vibration levels which still enables therequired level of compaction to be completed.Specifically the use of large vibratory rollers willshallonly be used in locations where vibration levels canbe controlled to less than the impact criteria.

Noise barriers at 2.4m high to be located on thecofferdam sections perpendicular to the river wall onboth sides, and on the southern boundary of the lorryroute (the section that backs onto the properties on

Shadwell Pier head only) to the point where it meetsGlamis road.
