Handbook Review Temporaywork Deep Excavation

Transcript

LTA carries out many of the deep excavations in urban areas where ground movements have to be carefully controlled and monitored to avoid unacceptable damage to adjacent structures. Temporary works are always the responsibility of the contractors, however in most projects LTA retains the responsibility as the Supervising Qualified Person (QP). It is therefore necessary for LTA staff to review the submissions of temporary works design from the contractors. These reviews are to ensure that the proposed temporary works satisfy the codes of practices and the LTA contract requirements, and that the design and construction follow the best engineering practice in the industry.
