APPENDIX F:               Installation of piles and capping

Environmental Control Plan to prevent pollution from concreting operations
during the construction (Grouting & Pile Caps)

Background.

The use of concrete materials is reduced to a minimum due to the use of a micro piling system
that is to be craned onto site.

The small volumes of concrete required allow the use of a small concrete grout pump with
reduced line size to grout piles and concrete pile caps. This system gives precise control to the
operators making spillage and cleaning requirements negligible.

Controls:

The builder/site manager will ensure the following best practice sediment control measures
including a designated wash down area are in place before work starts and are adequately
maintained throughout construction.

The designated wash down area is to be located within the site on the existing paved driveway
with sediment control screening in place and an appropriate HDP waste receptacle drum will
be available to retain any sediment waste from swept up spillage or cleaning of equipment.

The receptacle drum will be exchanged as required, fitted with a sealed lid and the contents
removed from site regularly to the concrete supplier’s authorised off site recycling and disposal
facility.

The builder/site manager will ensure all workers on the site are aware of their responsibilities to
minimise pollution including the concrete pump operator who will directly monitor equipment to
ensure leakage and spillage does not occur.

The concrete supplier will be selected on the basis that appropriate training has been provided
to their agitator truck drivers, and that they provide appropriate details and resources to enable
them to complete a delivery without causing pollution.

The agitator truck driver who will be required to be familiar with the Concrete Safe Site Delivery
Guidelines (available from Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia at www.concrete.net.au
under ‘A-Z Directory’) and will have sufficient training and experience to deliver concrete to site
and then return to the batch plant without causing environmental harm through spillage or
leakage of concrete. The driver will inspect and maintain the truck at all times and will be
instructed to raise any concerns about the pollution controls on site with the builder/site
manager. The driver must also ensure sediment is not tracked off site. If this occurs, it will be
swept up and put back into the site sediment receptacle drum.

Where possible, the delivery of concrete will occur within the site, using small trucks, to ensure
the risk of spillage contaminating the stormwater system is minimised. If site access is restricted
and the delivery of concrete must occur on the street, appropriate sediment controls will be in
place before pouring begins.
