1. SAFETY PLAN DURING ROAD CONSTRUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEWThe 1400km long National Highway-2 (NH-2) connecting Delhi with Calcutta is one of the mostimportant high-density corridors in the country. The NH2 carries between 12,000 and 33,0000passenger car units (PCUs) daily (1998 estimates), of which, a substantial part (48% to 86%) ofthe traffic is goods traffic. The traffic volume on most of the sections is projected to grow up to40,000 PCUs between 2005-2010 AD and in some sections would be as high as 1,25,000PCUs by 2015 AD. The existing highway is a two-lane carriageway, with traffic bottlenecks,various highway deficiencies as well as lack of proper facilities. To cater to such increased highvolume of traffic, there is an urgent need for capacity augmentation of the highway.

Capacity augmentation of the NH-2 is proposed under the Golden Quadrilateral Project(6500km highway joining Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Calcutta) of the National HighwayDevelopment Programme (NHDP) of the Government of India (Gol).

The widening of the NH-2 stretch between Agra and Dhanbad is being carried out by NHAI aspart of the TNHP and GTRP, with assistance from the World Bank. The implementation of thecontract packages to be taken up as part of TNHP has commenced (January 2001) and theGTRP implementation is to start by October 2001.

This document'provides the safety guidelines' to be adopted during construction period for thevarious contract packages of GTRP.

1.2 OBJECTIVE OF CONSTRUCTION PERIOD SAFETY PLANResearch from other countries have indicated that accident rates are usually higher at roadworksites and these accidents tend to involve more vehicles than are found normally operatingsections of a network. Any construction activity causes interruption to the normal flow of traffic.This becomes all the more serious when the construction traffic also mingles with the normaltraffic.

During both maintenance and construction work it is important to ensure as safe an operatingenvironment as possible for both workers and road users.

Highway construction activities require traffic to be moved through restricted areas or diversionsduring construction operations. Detours and temporary control measures often create serioustraffic hazards with resultant accidents. Specifications covering temporary traffic controlmeasures need to prescribe in considerable detail the respective responsibilities of the clientand the contractor for road safety measures. During the construction of roads, workers shouldfollow the safety procedures relating to the plant they are operating, and during rehabilitationwork or maintenance, where the road is still open to traffic, greater care is needed.

The objective of preparing the safety plan is to provide a safe travel to the road users all thetime of the day throughout the year and provide protection to the Project Workers when they areon the work. Obviously, it involves different situations on the highway including construction

Specific traffic safety and management plans/ measures to be worked out duringconstruction shall be worked out by the contractor (based on the guidelines spelt in thisreport). The contractor shall carry out these plans after the approval of the Engineer.

zones, lane closure, traffic diversions, construction activity etc. This document incorporatesrequirements for such situations. The guiding principles for safety measures shall include:

(i) Warning to the drivers unambiguously and sufficiently in advance of thesituation on the highway;

(ii) Providing clear demarcation for movement of vehicles;(iii) Providing devices to guide the drivers and their movements through

construction zones/lane closures/traffic diversions etc.(iv) Protection to Project Workers on work site.

Safety of the Road Users and Project Workers is of paramount importance on the ProjectHighway and will be the responsibility of the contractor during the construction period includingextension thereof, if any.

1.3 PROJECT ROAD

This section presents salient characteristics of the GT Road including traffic volume,existing RoW, road inventory, accidents and safety conditions.

1.3.1 TRAFFIC

The average daily traffic along GT Road ranges from the maximum of 32000 PCUs to aslow as 11000 PCUs in different sections (see Table 1). By and large, traffic on mostpackages varies between 15,000 to 20,000 PCUs.

1.3.2 RIGHT OF WAY

Analysis of RoW along GT Road reveals a highly varied picture. Over 50% of the totallength has an average RoW width of 40-45m (nearly 203km) followed by 22% with 30-35mRoW. A substantial portion of the length, i.e., about 17.5% has a liberal RoW of about 60mor more (Table 2).

In Package IIB, particular stretches where the RoW gets too narrow are between chainage16.000 to 16,300 near Rooma, between chainage 20.800 to 21.000 near Maharajpur and

between chainage 33.400 to 36.000 near Purwamir. In Package IVA, a similar narrowsection is between chainage 45.9000 to 46.4000. Similarly, in Package IVC, betweenchainage 114.000 -127.000 and another for 200m between 131.100 and 131.300, RoWremains between 30 and 35m. In such stretches temporary acquisitions may be requiredduring construction stage.

1.3.3 CROSS SECTION

The carriageway on the existing highway is uniformly 7m with completely absent or verynarrow paved shoulder width varying from 0.5 to 1.5m. Earthen shoulders are sometimesas wide as 2.5m but with limited usability due to the level difference with the carriagewaybrought about by erosion. Typical embankment height varies from 1.5m to 2.5m. Forlimited lengths, it goes up to 15m such as in Package 1IB and 4A. Table 3 provides asummary of existing cross sectional details for GTRP.

1.3.4 ROAD INVENTORY

Package IA has maximum number of intersections with a total of 136 minor and five majorintersections. On an average, each package has about 100 minor and 2 to 5 majorintersections spread all over the stretch. In all, GTRP part of NH2 has to negotiate fiverailway crossings and five ROBs. Further, there exist a total of 8 major bridges and 23minor bridges, which either need replacement, duplication or major repairs (see Table 4).

1.3.5 ACCIDENTS & SAFETY

All GTRP packages have traffic more than their capacity that results in congestion. Further,absence of median leads to conflicts between opposing streams of traffic. Any overtaking,weaving or turning manoeuvre may directly result in head-on or side collisions or other kindof accidents. It is expected that widening, provision of paved shoulders and separation ofopposing flows by a broad median will result in substantial reduction of such kinds ofaccidents. Redesigned intersections, some of which will be grade separated, will furtherensure a lesser probability of conflicting movements. Also, a substantial portion of GTRP,specially the one falling on Package IIB is proposed to have raised carriageway. This willensure complete separation of long-distance and local traffic and provide additional safety.

1.4 ROAD USER SAFETY DURING CONSTRUCTIONDuring construction such high traffic with varying constraints discussed above makes theroad works highly unsafe for road users if proper measures not adopted. Hence, thefollowing sections discusses about the safety measures/considerations during road works.Firstly the measures for traffic control and safety are dicussed followed by measures toprevent or avoid risks to workers.

1.4.1 SAFETY MEASURES IN CONSTRUCTION ZONE

In order to plan and provide appropriate traffic management and safety measures, it isnecessary to appreciate the concept of a construction zone. A construction zone can bedefined as an area of the highway which involves the conflict of the right of use between theroad users and authority responsible for the maintenance /improvement of the highway.From traffic safety point of view, a construction zone comprises four sub-zones describedherein under:

Lea Associates4 7W 7

Construction Penod Road Safety PlanGrand Trunh Road Improvement Project

G Advance Warning Sub-Zone

The advance-warning sub-zone is meant to prepare the driver for an alert behaviour and is

an essential part of any traffic control system. The warning system shall prepare the driver

well in advance by providing information regarding distance, extent and type of hazard

ahead so that he can gradually reduce the speed of his vehicle. The information in this sub-

zone is conveyed mostly through a series of traffic signs along its length.

3 Transition Sub-Zone

The transition sub-zone is the area in which the traffic is steered and guided into and out of

the diverted path around the work sub-zone. This is the most crucial sub-zone from safety

point of view since most of the movements are turning movements. The traffic in this sub-

zone is mostly taken across with the help of barricades and channelizers.

9 Work Sub-Zone

This is the actual area where construction or maintenance activity is taking place and themain concern, therefore, is the safety of the workers at the site from the plying traffic. The

path of the traffic must, therefore, be very clearly delineated to avoid intrusion of vehicles

moving into the work area. The work sub-zones shall not be close to each other and the

distance between the two work sub-zones shall be such that the flow of traffic can return to

normal stream by permitting fast moving traffic to overtake slow moving vehicles. These

distances shall preferably be 2 km on urban sections and 5 to 10 km on rural sections of the

highway. T,he length of work sub-zone will vary. The length of warning and transition sub-

zones shall be basically governed by the speed of approaching vehicles and shall be

regulated as shown in Table 5 below:

Table 5: Recommended Length of Construction Zones

81-100 300-500 100-200

Over 100 1000 200-300

® Termination Sub-Zone

An information sign board shall be erected to inform road user of the end of Construction

Zone.

1.4.2 TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES

The traffic across these sub-zones is guided and taken with the help of various traffic control

devices erected at the site. Traffic control devices in the construction zones perform the

crucial task of warning, informing and alerting the driver apart from guiding the vehicle

movements so that the driver of the vehicle as well as the workers on site are protected and

safe passage to the traffic is possible.

The primary traffic control devices used in work sub-zones are signs, delineators,

barricades, cones, pylons. pavement markings, flashing lights etc. They shall be such that

they are easily understood without any confusion, are clearly visible during day and night,

conform to the prevailing speeds in immediate vicinity, stable against sudden adverse

weather conditions and are easy in installation, removal and maintenance. The MOST

specifications 112.4 also stipulates the requirement of barricades, signs, markings, flags,lights and flagmen as may be required by the Engineer for the information and protection oftraffic approaching or passing through the section of the highway under improvement. Sincethe specifications are silent about the specifications of barricades and other accessories thequality of control devices is left purely to the discretion of the contractor and the Engineer. Itis because of this reason that the traffic control in construction zones suffers from utterdeficiencies with resultant hazardous situations.

0 Signs

The construction and maintenance signs fall into the same three major categories viz.regulatory signs, Warning signs and Guide signs as other traffic signs do. The IRC: 67-1977(Code of Practice for Road Signs) gives a comprehensive list of traffic signs to which thesize, colour and placement of signs shall conform. These signs shall be placed on the lefthand side of the road. Some of the common type of signs, which shall be provided inconstruction zones, are discussed in the following paragraph and shown in Figure 1

03 Regulatory signs

Regulatory signs mean legal restrictions on the traffic. They shall be used only inconsultation with the local police and /or authorities. The most common types for the use inconstruction zones are "Do not Enter", "Road Closed", Give Way to Pedestrian", Speed limitetc.

0 Warning Signs

The most common type of warning signs to alert the drivers of the possible dangers aheadin construction zones are "Lane Closed", "Diversion to other Carriageway", "DividedCarriageway Starts", "Divided Carriageway Ends" and "Two Way Traffic" etc. Sometimes itmight be advisable to explain these signs with the help of a rectangular definition plate ofsize appropriate to the size of warning triangle and placed 0.15 m below, from the bottom ofthe triangle.

c3 Guide Signs

Guide signs in construction zones shall have different background colour than the normalinformatory signs of IRC: 67-1977. These signs shall have black messages and arrows onyellow (Traffic Yellow of IS: 5-1978) background. The commonly used guide signs are:"Diversion", "Road Ahead Closed" and "Sharp Deviation of route' etc.

DelineatorsThese channelising devices such as cones, traffic cylinders, tapes, drums are placed in oradjacent to the roadway to guide the drivers along a safe path and to control the flow oftraffic. These shall normally be retro-reflectorised for night visibility. IRC: 79-1981(Recommended Practice for Road Delineators) gives details of some of the delineators. Theother delineators are discussed in following sections:

Traffic Cones and Cylinders: Traffic cones shall normally be 0.5m to 0.75m high and 0.3mto 0.4m in diameter or in square shape at the base. These are mostly made of plastic orrubber with retro reflectorised red and white band and have suitable anchoring so that theyare not easily blown over or displaced, it might be preferable to use double cones, one overthe other. The cones shall be placed close enough together to give an impression of the

continuity. The spacing shall be 3m (close) to 9m (normal). Larger size cones can be usedfor high speeds or where more conspicuous guidance is required.

Drums: Empty bitumen drums (made of metal) cut to the required height can be used aschannelising devices since they are highly visible, give the appearance of being formidable

objects, thereby commanding the respect of the drivers. These drums can also be of plastic,which are lighter, easy to transport and store. As delineators, these drums shall be about

0.80 to lm high and 0.30m in diameter. They shall be painted in circumferential strips 0.10

m to 0.15 m wide, alternatively in black and white colours.

Barricades: Whenever the traffic has to be restricted from entering the work areas, such as

excavations or material storage sites so that protection to workers is provided or there is aneed for separating the two-way traffic, barricades can be used. The barricades can be

portable or permanent type and can be made of wooden planks, metal or other suitable

material. The horizontal component facing the traffic is made of 0.30 m wide wooden planksjoined together and painted in alternate yellow and white strips of 0.15 m width and sloping

down at an angle of 45 degree in the direction of the traffic. BarricadeTypes II and I areportable type useful for small works and Type IlIl is permanent type, suitable for major workareas. Suitable support or ballasting shall be provided so that they do not over turn or blownaway in strong winds. In case of a permanent type barricade, a gate or movable section

shall be separately provided to allow the movement of construction/supervision vehicles.

Flagmen: In large construction sites, flagmen with flags and sign paddles shall be

effectively used to guide the safe movements. The flags for signalling shall be 0.60 m x 0.60m size, made of a good red cloth and securely fastened to a staff of approximately 1 m in

length. The sign paddles shall conform to IRC: 67-1977 and provided with a rigid handle.

1.5 CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULEThe alignment has been aligned north, south or middle, Length of the largest section isabout 7km and the lowest is 100m to minimise damage or disruption to roadside properties.Alignment options proposed for GTRP is summarised in Table 6

1.5.1 RURAL SECTIONS

The 4 laning proposed in rural sections in all the packages is mostly asymmetrical either onleft or right side of existing road. The median width proposed is mostly 5m. In such casesthe widening on any of two sides of existing road will not hamper the traffic flow significantlyexcept for the non-availability of partial shoulder width for use in emergency besidesreduction in speed due to interventions from construction traffic. Actually the shoulders incertain packages have 1.5m wide paved shoulder while in remaining packages theshoulders are earthen and their width varying from 1 to 1.5m. Thus at the time of widening acontinuous longitudinal barrier shall be provided on shoulder about lm away from the edgeof main carriageway. Besides delineators shall be provided at 25m interval with reflectorsfor guidance at night. In addition, advance information shall be provided for the travelingpublic about the construction activity so that they become more alert. Similarly when thetraffic is required to be diverted to new carriageway for carrying outstrengthening/reconstruction, necessary advance information needs to be provided aboutthe diversion of traffic from existing road to new road. The vital aspect to be kept in viewduring construction is to minimize discomfort to normal traffic with this in view, it will beprudent to widen the continuous length of rural section from one urban area to the other oneand thereafter strengthening/rehabilitation of existing road taken up in short stretches fromone median opening to the other normally kept about 2 km apart. Thus the sequence ofconstruction in rural section shall be as summarized below:

i) The eccentric widening of existing 2 lane carriageway shall becompleted in the first instance for the entire stretch spanningbetween two urban areas progressively taking 5 km stretch at atime (MoST clause 112.2) . During this phase, signs/barricadingshall be as shown in Figure No. 2

ii) Strengthening/reconstruction of existing 2 lane to be taken upafter the completion of 2 new lanes in segments spanningbetween consecutive median openings. Layout of signs andsafety measures for this construction phase shall be as illustratedin Figure No. 3

iii) Widening to 4 lanes and also strengthening/rehabilitation ofexisting 2 lanes in the same stretch shall not be taken upsimultaneously.

iv) In case of any hold up in the progress of eccentric widening dueto any unforeseen reason before reaching the next urban area assuggested in (i) above, the strengthening/reconstruction of theexisting road can be started in the stretch already 4 lanedbetween one median opening to the next median openingprogressively. Such situations may arise requiring diversion oftraffic for cross over from the new carriageway to the existing 2lane carriageway when construction of new carriageway is donein stretches, during which traffic safety measures as shown inFigure No. 4 shall be adopted.

v) In case of 6 laning, 3 new lanes will be constructed in the firstinstance and thereafter work on existing 2 lanes will be started Incase of strengthening an additional one lane will be added andthereafter overlay in the entire width provided. In case of

In such situations service roads and drains on both sides will be taken up first and thereafterthe work of main dual carriageway taken by diverting the through traffic to service roads.Thus the sequence of construction in urban areas will be as follows.

i) Services roads and side drains on both sides will be constructed first permittingthe normal flow on the existing 2 lane road. The construction traffic in the work zoneshall be safely segregated from the main stream traffic by erecting appropriatesigns at the beginning of the work site. Also on return it will be amalgamated withthe mainstream traffic by erecting appropriate signs at the end of the work site. Itshall be ensured that there shall be designated entry and exist points duly designedso as to avoid haphazard entry or exist of construction traffic. Conflicting turningmovements. Figure No. 5 illustrates the safety measures to be taken during thestage of construction (stage-I) in urban sections.

ii) On completion of the service roads on both sides, the main traffic will bediverted on them directionwise and the existing 2 lanes will be widened to 4 lanesduly accounting for the width of central median at elevated level as per design afterconstructing retaining walls on both sides. However, if the road level is not to beelevated, the existing road may be widened to two lanes on each side upto theexisting road level and strengthening taken up thereafter on each side for the fullwidth of 2 lanes including paved shoulder if any after constructing hub stones forthe median. During this stage, position of different signs! delineators/barricades toensure safety of workers and road uses shall be as illustrated in Figure No. 6.

1.5.3 DETOUR ON TEMPORARY DIVERSION

In the cases of major repairs or reconstruction of cross drainage structures on ahighway section, damaged due to flood etc., the traffic may have to pass on a diversion,moving parallel to the highway. A list of bridges along the project corridor is given inannexure lwhile Annexure 2 gives list of proposed Grade separators in GTRIP

A temporary diversion road shall basically satisfy the following requirements:

i) it shall have smooth horizontal and vertical profile with smooth vertical and

horizontal curves;

ii) it shall not get overtopped by flood or drainage discharge under any conditions;

iii) it shall have adequate capacity to cater for the diverted traffic;

iv) it shall be dust free and shall ensure clear visibility at all times of day and night;

v) It shall be provided with the required safety standards ; and

vi) It shall be provided with suitable barricades to prevent intrusion affecting the

movement of the traffic.

The warning for the construction ahead shall be provided by the sign "Men at Work" about 1km earlier to the work zone. In addition, a supplementary plate indicating "Diversion 1 kmahead" and a sign "Road Closed Ahead" shall be placed. "Compulsory Turn Right/LeftSign" shall follow it. The 'Detour" and "Sharp Deviation" sign shall be used to guide the

traffic onto the diversion. Hazard markers shall be placed just where the railings for thecross drainage structures on the diversion starts.

1.6 SAFETY OF WORKERS AT SITE

1.6.1 HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES

Some of the construction activities to be carried out on the project road having accidentrisk potentials are:

> Construction works

' Soil Excavation

> Use of Explosives

> Demolition

> Hoisting

' Working on Heights

> Bituminous Roads

Construction Works mostly include bridges, embankments, utility relocation and

compound walls etc. The major hazards associated with them are

1) Design

2) Collapse

3) Fall

4) Fire

5) Electric shock

The accidents during soil excavations are mainly due to

1) Inadequate shoring

2) Under cutting

3) Drowning

Lea Associates70

Page 21: Grand Trunk Road Improvement Project - World Bank · 2016. 7. 14. · Grand Trunk Road Improvement Project 1.3.4 ROAD INVENTORY Package IA has maximum number of intersections with

Construction Period Road Safety PlanGrand Trunk Road Improvement Project

4) Fall of loose Boulders

5) Collapse

6) Loading of Truck

The accident in Use of Explosives are mainly due to

1) Transport

2) Storage

3) Handling

4) Disposal

5) Misfire

6) Welding

The causes of accidents in demolition works during site clearance are

1) Collapse

2) Fall of roof, slab, truss, boulders

The reasons for accidents in hoisting materials are

1) Misuse of the hoist

2) Faulty erection

3) Lack of the wire rope inspection

While working on heights, fall is the main cause of accidents.

During Bituminous road construction accidents occur because of

1) Lack of signaling between the driver and the cleaner

2) Lack of Use of personal protective equipment

Some of the other causes of accidents are

1 ) Lack of supervision during construction/erection/welding

2) Lack of training

3) Negligence

4) Haste for completing the work early to get more profit

5) Adopting shortcut and risky methods etc...

1.6.2 REMEDIAL MEASURES

Some of the remedial measures for such accidents, for both managers and workers arelisted below

For Managers

1) Strict supervision

2) Due respect to safety rules, regulations and implementation

3) Good accident free construction plan

4) Training to workers and staff

Lea Associates1 2

Construction Period Road Safety PlanGrand Trunk Road Improvement Project

5) Provide personal protective equipment to workers and make its use compulsory

6) The management must disclose its safety policy to all the workers

For Workers

1 ) Use personal protective equipment

2) Use right equipment for right job with safety devices

3) Proper storage of explosives

4) Avoid risky and hasty methods

5) Pay respect to safety rules

Other than the measures mentioned above, the specific measures to be adopted withrespect to each hazardous/high risk activity is listed in table below.

Safety of the Project Workers at site during duty hours is the responsibility of thecontract. It shall be ensured by him that safety measures appropriate for the job aworkman performs shall be provided. Also, safety measures against accidents of theWorkmen by the traffic using the highway and/or diversions shall be taken. The contractshall provide Helmets and protectve Chest Vests to its Workmen at site and make itcompulsory for them to wear the same. The contract shall insure the entire projectWorkmen against accident. Labour Laws in force shall be followed.

1.7 REPORTING SYSTEMAs per the Most clause 115 and 111.2.1, prior to the start of the construction activities atsite, the contractor shall, within 30 days after the date of the letter of acceptance, submit tothe engineer for approval, the detailed construction methodology including mechanicalequipment proposed to be used, sequence of various activities and schedule from start tothe end of the project. The methodology and the sequence shall be so planned as toprovide proper safety, drainage and free flow of traffic. The present document should bewell incorporated in the same.

Along with that a monthly reporting format is proposed for each type of traffic control andsafety arrangements along the project corridor. The formats are attached in the end.

1.8 QUANTIFICATIONAs per the ToR the consultants are required to plan and design for additional items of workto ensure adequate safety of road users during the construction period complete with BOQand technical specifications. Planning and designing for additional items of work concerningsafety can be tentatively worked out for various packages on the basis of assumptions inregard to construction programme. However, the contractor may or may not be able to stickto this assumed programme of construction and the quantification done may becomeunrealistic.

The additional items of cost involved for safety measures are signs, barricades, flagmenand marking as is evident from the note given. Signs and barricades will be shiftedprogressively as the work advances linearly. It will be difficult to make such items as payitems as the cost of such items is not so substantial to be treated as pay items. In view ofthis it is felt that the contractor should account for this extra expenditure in various items and

extra BOQ may be dispensed with. However the contractor shall be bound to follow allsafety measures.

1.9 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONSIRC is coming out with an exhaustive publication (IRC:SP 55-2000) regarding Traffic ControlMeasures in construction zones and would become a very useful document for adoptionduring construction/maintenance of highways. This document is in the press for printing.Similarly the IRC code for Traffic Signs has been revised (IRC 67:2000) and is being sent topress for printing by the IRC. NHAI has included in their Model Concession Agreement(MCA) the safety requirements to be observed during construction and maintenance. It isproposed that these documents should also be incorporated as part of the specifications tobe included in the contract document. The WB standard bidding documents require thecontractors to give a detailed note outlining bidders proposed methodology and program ofconstruction, backed with equipment planning and deployment, duly supported with broadcalculations and quality control procedures proposed to be adopted, justifying theircapability of execution and completion of the work as per technical specifications within thestipulated period of completion as per milestones. (Clause 5.3 of Bidding data). This clauseshould be applied highlighting the obligation of the contractor to ensure Traffic ControlMeasures as specified in specifications at no extra cost so that he stands committed toadrere to the traffic safety requirements during construction.

The project engineer should devote sufficient time to ensure maximum effectiveness oftemporary traffic control arrangements and safety plan for workers. Deficiencies in trafficcontrol plan will often become apparent by a repeated visit of the area by the ProjectEngineer and also by observing the reaction of public driving through the area. This isparticularly true during hours of darkness under various weather conditions and at timescalls for changes in Traffic Control Management. Temporary traffic signs causing confusionand driving hazards to the traveling public, needs to be avoided. Table 8 details aconstruction period safety plan for workers.
