BOC Immingham Dissolved Acetylene Project Environmental Statement: Vol. 2 Main Text
3.123 The site has been laid out to provide the simplest vehicle access routes for HGVs visiting the site.
The road is designed to be wide enough for two way traffic for future flexibility, but it is envisaged
that it will be used as one way route around the plant in a clockwise direction. This will minimise
the amount of manoeuvring and reversing on the site. The new road will provide access to the
Lime Storage Tanks, Full Cylinder and Bundle Stores and all other storage tanks. Access to these
elements is also enabled by the provision of dedicated vehicle parking areas, which are off the
main circulation route, across the site.
3.124 The site will be nominally level (with falls for drainage) so that forklift access is available to all
circulation routes, hard standing storage areas and building entrances. The majority of internal
floors will be at the same level as external levels to minimise ramps and slip, trip and fall hazards.
3.125 There will be a secondary gate in the fence facing South Marsh Road, which will be used initially
during the construction phase. In the final scheme this will be used only as a means of access for
the emergency services. An additional pedestrian gate will be situated in the fence at the most
south westerly corner for emergency egress.
3.126 There will be gates in the security fence on either side of the new bridge to provide access to
NELDB for maintenance to Middle Drain. Typically these gates will be locked.
