CODE OF PRACTICE FOR SITE SUPERVISION – Typical Items for the Check List of Specific Tasks for RGE’s TCPs

Table 5.3 Typical Items for the Check List of Specific Tasks for RGE’s TCPs 
Item No.Description
G1Establish system for communicating with other TCPs.Routine items
G2Check that all monitoring check points are installed and readings are being taken in time.
G3 Verify non-conformity and instruct rectification works immediately. Notify all relevant parties in respect of the non-conformity and monitor that rectification measures are properly carried out.Routine and Engineering items
  
G4 Report to the RGE immediately if the non-conformity is considered to pose an imminent danger, to be a significant risk or a source of danger or the RC does not comply with rectification instructions.
  
G5 Check that all lower grade TCPs and RC’s TCPs are making inspections no less than the required frequency and carrying out duties in accordance with the Technical Memorandum and the Code of Practice for Site Supervision.
  
G6 Check and satisfy that copies of approved plans (or submitted plans for minor works), method statements, precautionary and protective measures proposals and  all related drawings and geotechnical documentation are kept on site; and that they are followed, including checking the video record for demolition works.
  
G7 Check that there is no over-excavation/over-loading and temporary cut and fill slopes will not cause any inadequate margin of safety against instability to adjoining ground/buildings/structures/utility services or any harm to members of the public and workers on site.Engineering items
  
G8 Check and monitor that the sequence of work and necessary protection works and supports are installed in accordance with approved plans/agreed method statements/precautionary measures proposals and that the supports are not to be removed or loaded in advance of adequate propping or restraint.
  
G9 Check that there is no risk of hydraulic failure causing ground collapse or  excessive deformation.
  
G10 Check that there is adequate margin of safety against instability and integrity/functionality of nearby ground/buildings/structures/utility services and members of public and workers on site are not adversely affected/harmed.
  
G11 Check that the ground and groundwater conditions, ground deformations/vibrations and geotechnical hazards/risks are consistent with the design of excavation and lateral support works.
  
G12 Check that the geotechnical assumptions (i.e. ground model, surface water regime, ground water regime, ground deformations/vibrations, geotechnical hazards/risks, etc) are consistent with the geotechnical assessment/study/works design, and to assess their compatibility/adequacy taking into account the actual geotechnical conditions encountered on site and the original method statement and precautionary and protective measures proposed, and update the method statement, precautionary and protective measures and advise the RGE accordingly.
  
GnAny other items considered essential by the RGE for the project, including those for quality supervision and other conditions imposed by the BA at approval and/or consent stage.
