INTRODUCTION

This method statement is to be read in conjunction with Drawings No 133_L11/00.

This Method Statement describes the specific safe working methods which will be used to carry out the
work. It gives details of how the work will be carried out and what health and safety issues and controls
are involved. The content of this Method Statement reflects the finding of the relevant Risk .Prior to
commencing works on site, and to specifically address planning Conditions, we set out below the site
set-up and access in accordance with Planning Condition 8 and 12.

Objective

To understand how to make a construction method statement.

Procedure

 Vehicle parking for site operatives and visitors

 Loading and unloading of plant and materials
 The storage of plant and materials
 The erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and viewing
panels for public viewing
 Wheel washing facilities.
 Measures to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction
 A scheme for the recycling/depositing of waste resulting from construction works 8. Mitigation
measures of controlling noise from construction machinery during business 9. Site access plan –
detailing which roads will be used to access the site 10. Land contamination

Vehicle parking for site operatives

Due to the site constraints, we are unable to provide permanent parking for the key individuals of the
site team and visitors within the confines of the site. Private parking is available at Bunning Way N7 9UR
located within a 15 minute walk from site, or alternatively at the pay and display car park located at
Randell`s Road and Rufford Street.

We always ask subcontractors to allow for offsite parking for their operatives, at the nearest available
car park. Where this is not possible by the nature of the workforce, we ask that the subcontractor
encourage the sharing of vehicles for their team members and their required tools.

Loading and Unloading of Materials

Main access to the development site for all deliveries is via York Way and into Randell`s Road.

All of our subcontractors and suppliers will be given a methodology statement for delivery of plant,
machinery, and materials to the site, with any time constraints as stated within the approved planning
document, the route in which they will take, and the protocols that we will have in place for receiving
such deliveries. There is a space allocated within the site compound for vehicles to stand and wait to be
unloaded. The largest volume of vehicle movement will be during the basement excavations and piling
work. Approximately 130 No lorry loads of existing material will enter and exit the site via York Way and
Randell`s Road. Measures will be put in place to stagger the daily movement and ensure vehicles are not
parking on or blocking the surrounding highway.

The storage of plant and materials

Due to the nature and the site constraints of this site, there will be very little materials stored within the
site. The London Borough of Islington Highway Department have been approached with the view to
lease the dead-end of Randell`s Road abutting Bingfield Park with the view to form a site compound (see
attached Drawing 133_L11/00). The site compound will be enclosed by a 2.4m high hoarding to the
North and East elevations with a vehicle entrance gates to the West. The compound will provide for the
following site facilities: Secure materials store Site facilities comprising site office and meeting/mess
room W.C / washing facility Wheel cleaning point Designated area for a small mobile crane .There
will be elements of plant that will be parked within the confines of the site, but only for the duration of
the works that they are associated with.

The erection and maintenance of security hoarding including decorative displays and viewing panels
for public viewing

At present the site in enclosed on all sides with a 2.40m high plywood hoarding on a timber frame and
topped with a steel anti-scaling barrier. The enlarged area will be surrounded by a continuous hording of
the same height and design as the existing hording. The existing hoarding will be inspected, repaired as
necessary and redecorated. The existing entrance gate and a section of hoarding to the North elevation
will be taken down and adapted to form part of the site compound enclosure. *The site office and
welfare facilities will be located within the hoarded area as shown on drawing 133_L11/00. *There will
be no facility for public viewing through the hoarding due to site constraints and location of the
hoarding adjacent to the road. *The site managers contact details together with relevant warning signs
will be fixed in a prominent position. *The site hoarding will be inspected regularly by the Site Manager
for any defects and if found, will be repaired immediately.

Wheel washing facilities to plant, equipment and machinery

Prior to any vehicles leaving the site, they will be inspected by the Site Forman whether they are free
from excessive dirt, mud and obstructions. If not, then they will be mechanically cleaned to remove any
dirt, mud or obstructions from their wheels and undercarriage. The location of the wheel washing point
is shown on drawing 133_L11/0 Roads and footpaths will be kept clean at all times and will be swept
and washed down as necessary.

6. Measures to control the emission of dust and dirt during construction

Dust control measures apply to any construction site where there is the potential for air and
water pollution from dust traveling across the landscape or through the air. Dust control includes
practices used to reduce or prevent the surface and air transport of dust during construction.

7. A scheme for the recycling/depositing of waste resulting from construction works

Waste Reduction :

Formwork Construction address to the policy of minimising waste through the re-use, re-cycling and the
responsible disposal of waste to land fill sites.

Reduce:

Where possible waste is avoided and may be achieved by the following means: Influencing the design
to use standard sizes of materials by incorporating existing site materials into the scheme and through
the use of modern methods of construction, e.g. offsite manufacture. Provide appropriate storage for
materials on site to eliminate wasted product, this may be means of covered areas or sited away from
plan movements and low spots which may gather water.

Re-Use:

Waste materials can be re-used on site or on other sites to prevent them entering the waste
management chain. This may be achieved by the following means:

All operatives are trained to report any off-cuts which can’t be used to the Site Manager before they are
placed in a skip. The Site Manager will endeavour to get other trades to use the off-cuts. All excess
materials are appropriately stored and collected from site for re-use on other projects. All packaging
waste is returned to the supplier where practical, where this isn’t possible then we will endeavour to get
items to be re-used by other companies, e.g. pallets, collected for reuse. Where possible demolition
waste is crushed on site into 6F2 and re-used as sub-base in the permanent works. Where bulk
materials, i.e. soils and demolition wastes, cannot be re-used on site then we will use waste brokers to
try and find suitable sites for the materials to be re-used.

Recycle:

We will endeavour to provide segregated waste containers on site for all materials which have a
recycling market. This may be any of the following:

. Brick and concrete . Wood . Glass . Paper / cardboard . Metal . Plasterboard .Waste electrical
equipment

Disposal:

It is general policy not to send any waste directly to landfill sites. This is only conducted where the waste
is hazardous and there are not techniques available to remediate it, e.g. asbestos
Mitigation measures of controlling noise from construction machinery during business

Noise is a nuisance and all measures will be taken to reduce noise level. All mechanical plant including
mixers will be fitted with noise attention devices to minimizes disturbance to adjusting properties and
neighbours. Use of Radios will not be permitted on site Heavy and noisy operations will be limited to
standard working hours Monday – Friday 8.00am to 5.00pm. Further information: BS5228-1:2009 has
been consulted in relation to the mitigation of construction noise.

Site access plan – detailing which roads will be used to access the site

The site will be accessed via York Way and Randell`s Road. Drawing 133_L11/00 shows the existing site
together with the Contractor`s Site Compound.

Land contamination

The Ground Investigation Report prepared by SEP Ltd indicates that beneath surface conrete slab which
covers the entire site, the underlaying subsoil profile is composed of very loose made ground to depths
of between 1.00m and 2.50m below the existing ground level. Results of the chemical tests indicate that
the made ground contains significantly elevated concentrations of copper, zinc, nickel, arsenic and in
particular lead.

LOCATION OF WORK

We have to mention our project in method statement

Pre-Works Preparation

The site manager will make content with neighbouring properties to advise on commencement of
intended works, provide contact details and outline up and coming site activities.
