Indicative Construction Programme An indicative construction sequence is described in this section. It should be noted that this construction sequence set-out is intended to provide an overview of likely construction activities and potential impacts, and the actual construction sequence will be confirmed when a Contractor is appointed. The construction phase of the Proposed Project is likely to take 12 18 months, – and is expected to commence in early 2018. The main stages of construction will proceed in a general sequence as follows: Enabling works- including the set-up of site construction facilities, hoarding, signage etc.; Excavation and site clearance- including the excavation of roads and paved surfaces, and clearance of study area including careful removal of trees, street furniture, historic features etc.; Provision of services- including the implementation of Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS), localised diversion to local power supplies, and localised diversion of telecommunication services. A new public lighting regime is proposed for College Green, and new ducting and mini pillars will be provided to cater for same. In addition, an underground control chamber will be provided for the fountains, along with associated water supply, power supply and drainage connections; Construction of the civic plaza including relaying the setts at Foster Place, laying granite setts in the civic plaza area, paving works to trafficked plaza area at western end, construction of turning circle, incorporation of water jets and works to existing footpaths; and Replacement of statues and fountain, and planting of trees. This stage of construction will also involve the placement of street furniture, bicycle parking, lighting, signage etc. Main Stages of Construction Enabling Works Enabling works are generally undertaken in advance of the main works. Enabling works will be carried out to ensure that; Site construction facilities are established in advance of commencement of significant elements of work; and Adequate work areas and access for the permanent works and or construction is provided. The timing of enabling works depends on the programmed start of the phase of main works that they are designed to enable. Some may start significantly in advance of the main construction activities. The initial phase of enabling works will include the provision of construction facilities located within the works area. The initial works area is expected to include the northern side of the site, with pedestrian and cyclist access being retained along the southern side of the site.
