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
G1	Establish system for communicating with other TCPs.	Routine items
G2	Check 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.

Gn	Any 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.

	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.

	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 are kept on site; and that they are followed, including checking the video record for demolition works.

	Check that there is no over-excavation and temporary cut slopes will not cause any instability to adjoining ground/structure/building.

	Check that enclosing walls for top down construction show no signs of defect or lack of soundness.

	Check and monitor that lateral supports are installed in accordance with approved/agreed sequence and not to be removed in advance of adequate propping or restraint.

	Check that the design and supports of formwork, shoring and temporary working platform are adequate to support all intended loads.

	Check that there is no risk of artesian conditions for excavation and lateral support works.

	Check that stability and integrity of nearby buildings and ground are not adversely affected.

	Check that the groundwater table is consistent with design of excavation and lateral support works.

	Check that before excavation takes place, the highest new deck level for top down construction is in place and has achieved sufficient strength to provide lateral support.

Any other items considered essential by the RSE for the project, including those for quality supervision and other conditions imposed by the BA at approval and/or consent stage.

1 Typical Items for Specific Tasks by TCPs

The AP, RSE, RGE and AS shall devise check lists for their TCPs by making reference to the typical items listed in Tables 5.1 to 5.4 of this Code and to include any other particular items considered appropriate and necessary for their projects and surrounding conditions.

The TCPs shall carry out their duties as per the check lists devised by their own heads of stream and all the check lists and inspection records shall be kept on site for the inspection of the BA.

A typical checklist suggested for use, Form A, is shown in Appendix II to this Code.

All non-conformities detected during the checking of typical items for specific tasks by the TCPs must be properly recorded in the Non-Conformity and Rectification Reports, Form B at Appendix III to this Code. Detailed procedures for dealing with non-conformities are specified in paragraph 10.3 of this Code.
