Abstract

NIE Networks is currently undertaking a programme of refurbishment/upgrades on a number of its key office bases, with the most significant being the replacement of the current office at Craigavon with a new build circa 30,000 square foot office (over 2 floors), which is to be located on the existing site.

The primary works for this project will include the following:

• The construction of a new-build energy efficient 2 storey office building on the existing Craigavon site (in the car park area) including all associated building, mechanical and Electrical works in accordance with the project design, Building and Planning Regulations, and any phasing temporary or permanent to facilitate the works

• The existing office building and stores facility is to remain operational throughout the duration of the works and a traffic management plan will be required to ensure that construction and site access for day to day business can be separated – NIE Networks will seek alternative car parking arrangements for some of its staff cars

• The existing mast and associated communications cabling are also to remain in place and operational throughout the duration of the works as this forms a critical part of NIE Networks distribution network

• Upon completion and occupation of the new building, the existing building is to be demolished, and the new carparking layout and associated landscaping completed.

The secondary works will include the following:

• Main contractor to fulfil the role of Principal Contractor under the CDM Regulations for the duration of the work.

• Any damage to hard standing areas required for equipment or materials storage or delivery, site cabins, offices etc as required by the main contractor within the site boundary, will be made good at the completion of the project.

• Any surface water removal during the construction stage will be the responsibility of the main contractor and should be factored into the costs.

• The design of any temporary works will be the main contractor’s responsibility.

• The main contractor will assume full responsibility for:

- Materials and equipment once they have been delivered to site. Any damage or theft will be the contractor’s sole responsibility.

- Co-ordination of all deliveries associated with the works including traffic management, flag men etc.

- The provision, maintenance and repair of all necessary tools, plant, equipment and skips necessary to carry out the required works.

- The provision, maintenance, repair and removal on completion of all necessary temporary electrics, potable water supply, lighting, edge protection or other temporary works as necessary to carry out the required works.

• The main contractor must ensure that all completed works are properly protected until handover of the site.

• Before the commencement of the works the main contractor shall inspect the conditions on site and notify the NIE Networks Client representative/Principal Designer of any conditions which may adversely or otherwise affect the scope of works.

• It is the responsibility of the main contractor to ensure that all plant, tools and equipment are used safely and that workers, other contractors, visitors to site and the general public are properly protected.
