Draft Overview of HPC Construction - EDF Hinkley Point

4.1.30 Abnormal Indivisible Loads (AILs) which are subject to road transport restrictions,including major equipment items such as the reactor pressure vessel, will bedelivered by sea to Combwich Wharf and will then be transported to site by road.These deliveries will bypass the southern site entrance and will be transporteddirectly to the point of installation via the northern roundabout. All such deliveries willbe subject to special controls to minimise the impact on other road users.4.1.31 Waste and other materials despatched from site will also be subject to controls.Where practicable, sea transport will be used, but most transport will be by road. Thedelivery management system will be used to manage the timing of freight vehicles,including empty vehicles, leaving the site to ensure compliance with the transportplan for waste and materials movements.4.1.32 In accordance with the travel plan, nearly all personnel working at the constructionsite will travel to and from site by bus. Buses will collect workers from off-sitecampuses, park and ride sites and other identified locations and take them via thenorthern roundabout to the site personnel entrance adjacent to the south permanentstation car park. This car park will be dedicated to buses for the duration of theconstruction period, although the access route will vary according to the stage ofconstruction works. Workers will enter the site through turnstiles adjacent to the busdrop-off point and will be subject to security controls and searches in line with thesecurity policy. Buses to take workers home will wait within the designated car parkand will leave as soon as they are full.4.1.33 Very limited car parking will be available during the construction period. This will beprovided outside the construction site fence and no private cars will be allowed withinthe construction site. Each contractor will be allocated a small number of parkingspaces sufficient to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities for health and safetyand worker welfare. In addition, there will be a small number of parking spacesallocated for visitors, including VIP visitors to the site. Provision for pedal cyclists willbe made at the construction site, but motorcyclists will be required to use the parkand ride sites.4.1.34 Workers resident in the on-site accommodation campus will be able to enter the sitevia dedicated turnstiles adjacent to the campus. All other persons who do not walk orcycle to site and are not entitled to the use of one of the limited car park spaces willbe required to use the bus service to the site, via the park and ride sites if necessary.f) Internal Haulage Roads4.1.35 During the site preparation works, a number of haulage roads would be developed onsite to facilitate the movement of vehicles carrying excavation and constructionmaterials around the site. These haulage roads are indicated on Figures 4.1 - 4.4and will vary in location and level according to the construction needs. Wherepracticable, the haulage roads are aligned with the routes for the permanent roads.4.1.36 In addition, a temporary service road will be constructed around the perimeter of thesite within the security fence, to allow security and maintenance personnel access toinspect and maintain the fence line.4.1.37 The haulage roads would be constructed in accordance with the current relevantBritish Standards and the Highways Agency Design Manual as required for heavyDRAFT | Overview of HPC Construction | February 2011 21
