Environment Impact:
Description: Historical and forecast weather data that might
impact construction schedules and safety.
Community Relations:
Description: Documentation of meetings and
communications with the local community, including
feedback and concerns addressed.
Control Measures:
o Pre-Construction Surveys: Conduct detailed surveys of
adjacent properties to document their condition before
construction begins. This helps in assessing and managing
any potential damage claims.
o Vibration Monitoring: Implement vibration monitoring
systems around the construction site to ensure that
vibration levels remain within safe limits, reducing the risk
of structural damage to nearby buildings.
o Protective Barriers and Shields: Erect protective barriers
and shielding around sensitive areas to prevent accidental
impacts and contain debris or materials that could cause
damage.
o Communication with Adjacent Property Owners:
Establish clear lines of communication with owners of
adjacent properties to inform them of upcoming activities
and address any concerns proactively.
Control Measures:
o Thorough Design Reviews and Audits: Implement a
rigorous design review process that includes multiple
checks by experienced engineers to catch and correct
errors before construction begins.
o Use of Design Software and Simulation Tools: Utilize
advanced design software and simulation tools to model
the bridge's performance under various conditions, helping
to identify and resolve potential issues early in the design
process.
o Stakeholder Involvement in Design Review: Engage
stakeholders, including construction teams and local
authorities, in the design review process to ensure that all
perspectives and potential issues are considered.
Control Measures:
o Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA): Conduct
