CONTRACTOR’S SITE LAYOUT PLANNING

INTRODUCTION

After contract signing between the client and the contractor, the client hands over the site to the contractor; After the site handing over the contractor has to develop the site layout plan apart from the architectural site plan. The plan will help the contractor to safely and efficiently carry out the site operations as stipulated in the contract during the whole period of working.

COMPONENTS OF THE CONTRACTOR’S SITE LAYOUT PLAN

Depending on the site constraints the contractor’s site layout plan is not limited to

* Hoarding (Site Fence)
* Entrance gate
* Watch Tower
* Guard Post
* Site Offices
* Sand pile space
* Aggregate Pile space
* Cement Storage facility
* Canteen
* Timber storage space
* Carpentry workshop
* Reinforcements storage space
* Steel works workshop
* Toilets
* Emergency assembly space
* Precious goods storage space
* Tower crane space
* Mixing space
*

HOARDING (SITE FENCING)

Construction of site fence is primarily for control of the site workers, safety and acts as a demarcation of the boundaries of the site.

Hoarding can be erected out of the timber or steel framing finished with the sheeting of either corrugated iron sheets or flat sheets.

Hoarding must be made in such a way as to allow for privacy for the workers inside, protecting the site facilities from the theft and allow for proofing from extreme weather such as wind.

ENTRANCE GATES

Entrance gates are placed where the long vehicles bringing the materials and machines to the site can easily turn around without difficulties and disturbance to the public traffics.

Entrance gates are commonly made of sliding steel gates or grilled gates depending on the space available and the budget allocated.

WATCH TOWERS

Watch tower enables security guards to look from elevated heights far distances hence increasing the degree of security at the site.

Watch towers are allocated at the corners along the site fence, Watch tower are made out of steel or timber framed temporary structures.

PARKING

Parking is essential for trucks coming to the site bringing materials and other goods waiting to be unloaded, checked or when broken down.

Parking also for light vehicles that support site works should be reserved and allocated properly.

Parking should be made to allow for easy access and move outside the site.

SITE OFFICES

Site offices are allocated close to the precious goods storage facilities and not far away from the entrance gates and at an area that can allow for easy view of the progressing site works.

Site offices can be of a single room comprising of tables and chairs for all staff, or Site office made of different rooms each dignitary occupying his or her own office room. Eg. Site engineer’s office, clerk of works office and store keeper office.

TOWER CRANE

Tower crane should be located adjacent to building being constructed; However if the proximity of the two adjacent buildings being constructed can allow for a single tower crane; critical analysis should be made on the exact area the tower crane to be erected.

SAND PILING AREA

Sand pile is placed closer to the mixing plant, that it may be easy for workers to mobilize sand for mixing of concrete or mortar. Sand might be piled on a single spread or there might be several piles in an area.

AGGREGATE PILE

Aggregate pile also should be placed closer to the mixing area, but care should be taken that no oil leakages would be allowed to flow towards the piling area. Piling allow for constant and uniform moisture content of the aggregates that will not affect the mixing process in concrete production.

MIXING AREA

Depending on the mixing method whether it be hand mixing, plant mixing or machinery mixing the choice for locating a mixing area should consider that it is adjacent to the cement storage area, sand and aggregate piling area. Also the area should be of such that concrete dumpers are able to turn and load the concrete.

CANTEEN

Canteen refers to an area or place where site workers can sit and their food during tea, lunch or supper breaks; canteen should desirably be located away from the working area that produces noise, smoke or where there is a high risk of objects falling. Always canteen are placed closer to the site offices and not far away from the toilets.

PRECIOUS GOODS STORAGE FACILITY

Storage facility for precious goods to be fixed in the building things like iron monger, plumbing fixtures such as wash basins, faucets, floor traps; lighting fixtures like chandelier, HVAC components, ICT fixtures and any other good of high value should be stored a locked area with strict access and security. Such a facility should be placed closer to the offices and adjacent to Guard post.

REINFORCEMENT STORAGE FACILITY

A facility for storing reinforcements should be covered to protect the bars from the action of rain and bad weather that may cause rusts and early aging. The facility should be located just adjacent to the steel works workshop to enable easy and fast handling of the material to the workshop for cutting, bending and fixing.

TIMBER STORAGE

Timber storage facility should be located closer to the site carpentry workshop; timber should be stacked properly to avoid damage by the termite, and be stored in a covered facility to prevent the action of sun that develops a rapid loss of moisture causing warping and bending.

CARPENTRY WORKSHOP

Site carpentry workshop should be placed adjacent to timber storage facility. Carpentry workshop consists of all tools, machines and equipments essential for carry out carpentry works therefore it should be at a secured zone and comprising of lockable shelves. It should be located in an area which would not enhance too much noise to the other site working areas.

SITE TOILETS

Site toilets should be built closer to working areas readily seen and easily accessed by all the site workers. It should be located where the desludging work can easily be done where the site is not connected to public sewer.

EMERGENCY ASSEMBLY AREA

Emergence assembly area allow for workers to gather quickly at the area where there emerges a fatally occasion. Emergency assembly area is located at an open space easily accessed and well seen. It should be well marked not surrounded with many works operations and closer to the entrance gate.

MEETING AREA/ FACILITY

At the site, there should be an area where the site and technical meetings or any other managerial meetings can be conducted efficiently without external disturbances. The facility should be well covered with chairs and a table accommodating a reasonable number of people for usual meetings.

WATER STORAGE TANK AREA

Water reservoir and storage facilities are to be located closer to the mixing area and at the highest levels of the site and at an area where the pipe connection to the municipal water supply pipe will be easy without much work. Care should be taken that the area will not allow for water to be contaminated with the oils and or with other impurities.
