Safety

  • Is there a JSEA on-site?

  • Is safety signage been displayed?

  • Are identified hazardous trees been managed?

  • Is minimum on-site safety standards been maintained e.g. (PPE, flashing beacon, reverse parking)

Pre start

  • Is there an approved Erosion and Sediment Plan (ERSED) for pipe crossing works?

  • Is there an approved Environmental Plan (CEP / EMP) for pipe crossing works?

  • Have all CEP or EMP boundaries and exclusion zones been flagged prior to crossing works commencing?

  • Have all ERSED control measures been installed prior to crossing works commencing?

Weed Management

  • Have all construction machinery been inspected to confirm they are weed free?

Clearing at water courses

  • Have disturbance limits within the riparian zone been minimised and managed as per an approved FPP or in accordance with the contractors CEP or EMP?

  • Have marked trees been felled parallel to the construction corridor and without falling into the watercourse?

  • Has the cleared vegetation been stockpiled as far as practicable away from the riparian watercourse zone or as specified within an FPP, CEP or EMP?

  • Are all identified sediment and erosion control measures effective around water course approaches and stream banks?

Erosion & Sediment Control Measures

  • Have all geo textile silt fences been secured in place with star pickets or other means and are being maintained to retain their effectiveness?

  • Has water runoff from the pipe crossing works area been diverted into either a settling pond, sediment trap or through vegetated ground to stop sediment entering the waterway?

Watercourse Crossing Method Option 1 (above ground crossing)

  • Has trenching ceased within 2m from the edge of the waterway?

  • Have all footings and structures been kept away from the channel confines and streambed?

  • Have all machinery been prevented from entering the waterway?

Watercourse Crossing Method Option 2 (below ground crossing)

  • Have sediment traps been installed downstream of the works?

  • Has stream flow been diverted around the excavation site and then re-inserted back into the main flow of the channel downstream?

  • Has the removed stream bed material been stockpiled in the same order as it was excavated, including river rock?

  • Has the stream bed material been returned back to its original profile?

  • Is is trench and hydrostatic water being discharged through sediment filters?

Pipe laying in watercourse

  • Has the pipe section designated for the crossing been fabricated prior to trenching completion to enable rapid installation?

  • Has the pipe been encased in concrete to correct design specification prior to backfilling?

Reinstatement in watercourses

  • Have appropriate bank stabilisation measures been implemented such as (slope stabilisation, revegetation, soil coverings, rip-rap and armouring, check dams, sediment traps and vegetation filters)?

  • Have in stream surface layer of either cobbles, course gravels or rock been replaced / introduced over the disturbed area and placed so it is not likely to act as a barrier to the passage of aquatic fauna?

  • If required, have sandbags, gabions or other means of scour protection been installed to confirm to the natural contours?
