General
All works covered within this document are to be managed and performed to the culture within the Thames Tideway Tunnel vision of Zero Incidents, Zero Harm, Zero Compromise. The Code of Construction Practice (CoCP) comprises two parts: a. Part A: General requirements. These measures are applicable project-wide. b. Part B: Site-specific requirements. These are site-specific measures, where there are deviations from the general requirements indicated in Part A.

1.1.3

This document comprises the CoCP Part B for the Thames Tideway Tunnel project works at Cremorne Wharf Depot site and identifies the detailed site-specific measures including working hours, site set up and servicing arrangements, taking into account the environmental issues and consultations with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and other stakeholders. For ease of reference the CoCP Part B mirrors the headings in Part A. The CoCP Part B sets out site-specific issues and deviations from Part A so where there are no site-specific measures reference should be made to the measures set out in Part A. A plan showing the location of the site is shown in Figure 1.1 below.
