We have enclosed our intensions and management process of the construction work. We have tried to show all the main stages of the construction work.Planning and ProgramConstruction program management has been made on the computer based software Microsoft project. We have prepared the Gantt chart to reduce and link the task with each other. The chart will be updated regularly as project progresses. So, time can be reduced. Program has been submitted to all the related parties. We have also prepared key dates for the important project work and will try to follow that schedule.Pre-Start InvestigationBefore starting the work, site will be checked and site layout will be prepared. We will level the site as per the need of the work. Plotting will be made on the ground as per the plan. We will also check the Soil bearing capacity. Also, it is necessary to check the surrounding environment. After all that work construction work will start.Security and Site EstablishmentCreate a job security system before starting the construction work. Spread security awareness among the workers. Contact local police and fire department before commencement of work. Identify the assets and property on-site and track them regularly. Secure perimeter with fencing as first line of defense. Find the suitable place to keep different materials on site so that it cannot get mixed up and work can go easier. Lock up materials, secure vehicles and equipment and install hidden kill switches to disable ignitions. Make the door to prevent unauthorized entry. Assign 24/7 security guard. Also install CCTV wherever necessary.PersonalAll persons, including works and engineers should gain access to the site prior. And they should maintain basic site rules.Site access and deliveriesWhen any delivery come check before it enters the site, if there is hazardous thing or not. Check the ID of driver and vehicle number as well.SignageSuitable signage should be installed for the safety of workers and the general public around.This may include: –Speed LimitAccommodationDanger aheadReport to managerFirst aidGo slowNo entry without permissionToiletsMovement and hoisting of materialsVehicle movement of vehicles on site will require permission.Materials should be staked and store in a particular way so good handling of material is possible. Material will be order minimum so no congestion on site will occur.Waste ManagementWhile planning of the project waste removal strategies will be discussed. It will be discussed within all the sub-contractors. We propose that waste should be removed from the site on a regular basis and that will be the responsibility of all the contractors related to that type of waste. All sub-contractors will be required to transport and deposit their rubbish by themselves regularly. Site Waste Management Plans (SWMP’s) are also necessary. We will try to recycle the materials more and more.SafetySafety on the site is very necessary. All workers will wear safety jackets and helmets. Without safety accessories, no worker will be allowed on site. Safety inspections will also be done on a regular basis.Noise controlWe try to minimize the noise as possible. On construction sites so many activities are going on parallel. Machines are very huge and makes so much noise, but we will maintain to keep noise below the highest level. Ask environment officers to check the level of noise.Temporary ServicesSome temporary services are necessary for any construction site Some are listed below which we are going to have on site.Toilets (Male/ Female)Contractor’s officeEntry gateFencingMeeting roomElectricity provisionPhone and internetWater provision Etc.Site LayoutConstruction General Our tender program shows our timing and order of operations necessary to achieve project completion.Starting Work Before starting of the project works, the preliminary site and people safety will take place.
