ABSTRACT
Traffic routes to and from the site must be checked as to the suitability for transporting all the plant and materials necessary for the proposed works and within the site. Storage of materials should be designed to reduce double handling to a minimum without impeding the general site circulation and/or works in progress. Select siting for offices to give easy and quick access for visitors but at the same time with a reasonable view of the site. Plant considerations includes the siting of fixed cranes and movement of mobile plant around the site. Fixed cranes should be selected and positioned for maximum efficiency of moving material direct from lorries or storage areas to where they are to be used. To plan an adequate system of site lighting the types of activity must be defined and given an illumination target value which is quoted in lux.
