Wellington area?

it’s performance?

Line weights, hatches and labels

Site Access
Creating a Measured Drawing
This note shows the process of drawing up the site
measurements
Bays which extend out from the main roof need the
valley line also drawn in
Gables (not shown here) will have the ridge extend
out to the wall without hips
STAGE 6 - THE PART EAVE SECTION
Planning for
construction
requires
thought on
how to
mitigate these
effects
Excavation and the Environment
Councils don’t usually allow run-off water to go into
stormwater systems
Excavation and the Environment
To minimise these effects careful planning needs to be
given to the following:
Diversion
and protection of existing
on-site waterways is
important
Excavation and the Environment
Other considerations
Other methods
can be use of drains
or areas (swales)
where the water can be
collected
Mitigation Methods
Working close
to water will
require some
protection method
such as silt
fences
Mitigation Methods
Extraction
of water
can be done to
removal of
sediment
Erosion control
On steeper
sites consideration
needs to be given
to erosion.
Effects can be
reduced by
compaction,
use of geotextile
materials and or
keeping as much
vegetation on site
as possible
Excavation Consents
Task 5.7 of Deliverable 5 asks you to research the consent
process for earthworks and to consider the environmental
effects. Most of which we have discussed above
