Code of Construction Practice Part B 1

1 Introduction

1.1.1 All works described in this document are to be managed and performed tomeet the health and safety vision of Zero Incidents, Zero Harm, Zero

Compromise for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project (the project).

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

a. Part A: General requirements. These measures are applicable projectwide.

b. Part B: Site-specific requirements. These are site-specific measureswhere deviations from the general requirements are indicated in Part A.

1.1.3 This document forms the CoCPPart B for the project works at the AlbertEmbankment Foreshore site and sets out detailed site-specific measuresincluding working hours, site set-up and servicing arrangements, taking into

account environmental matters and consultations with the London Boroughof Lambeth and other stakeholders.

1.1.4 For ease of reference,this document mirrors the headings in Part A. It setsout site-specific issues and deviations from Part A; therefore where nosite-specific measures are specified, reference should be made to PartA.

1.1.5 A plan showing the location of the site is shown in Figure 1.1 overleaf.

1.1.6 The application for development consent includes two options for temporaryconstruction access to the site: Option A via Lacks Dock and Option B via anew access to be created between Camelford House and Tintagel House.

For both options, occasional access for construction plant to the worksiteunder Vauxhall Bridge will be required along the Lacks Dock slipway. TheSecretary of State shall confirm which option should be provided in anydecision to grant development consent for the project. Where controlmeasures relate to one access option but not to the other, this is specifiedwithin this document. All other control measures apply regardless of whichaccess option is confirmed.
