Methods suited to the site
Assess soil, route, utility conflicts and access to define open-cut or trenchless execution. Directional drilling reduces continuous trench excavation where technically feasible.
ENVIRONMENT
Planning the intervention and caring for work areas are part of sanitation and infrastructure construction.
Route, construction method, material handling and site reinstatement must be considered together. Measures depend on the location, design and requirements of each project.
Assess soil, route, utility conflicts and access to define open-cut or trenchless execution. Directional drilling reduces continuous trench excavation where technically feasible.
Plan water use, drilling fluid handling and material containment. Prevent waste and fluids from reaching storm drains, waterways or areas outside the work site.
Separate and organise excavated soil, pipe offcuts and construction waste. Plan temporary storage and disposal according to site conditions and requirements.
Identify vegetation, waterways, access routes and pedestrian circulation. Organise work fronts to reduce disturbance and remain within authorised work areas.
Plan cleaning, backfilling, pavement reinstatement and restoration of affected areas according to the design and contractual responsibilities.
Brief teams on site-specific precautions, record incidents and report situations requiring correction or follow-up.
Construction and reinstatement measures must follow the design, site conditions and environmental requirements applicable to the contracted scope.
