CONSIDERATIONS FOR STAGING OPERATIONS
THIS INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED AS A GUIDE FOR THE CONTRACTOR TO ASSIST THEM IN PREPARING THE
CONSTRUCTION STAGING PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT.
1. THE CITY OF LONDON OPERATIONS CAN TEMPORARILY HOLD FLOW BACK AT THE PLANT FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 HOURS
TO ASSIST WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE HEADWALL. THIS WORK NEEDS TO BE COORDINATED WITH THE CITY PLANT
OPERATION STAFF AT LEAST 72 HOURS IN ADVANCE OF THE WORK. THE WORK MAY BE DELAYED OR POSTPONED AT ANY
TIME DUE TO FORECASTED WEATHER AND ANTICIPATED PLANT FLOWS. THE CONTRACTOR MAY EXPLORE THE OPTION TO
WORK AFTER HOURS OR ON WEEKENDS TO FURTHER EXTEND THE POSSIBLE SHUTDOWN TIME OF THE OUTLET PIPE.
THIS WILL HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL WITH THE CITY OPERATIONS STAFF.
2. IF THE CONTRACTOR ANTICIPATES REQUIRING A LONGER SHUT DOWN THAN 6 HOURS TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION
OF THE HEADWALL STRUCTURE TEMPORARY PIPING & PUMPING CAN BE USED TO DIVERT FLOW FROM THE EXISTING UV
CHANNEL AT THE PLANT TO A NEAR BY DITCH ( REFER TO DRAWING C001) THIS MAY INCREASE THE LENGTH OF THE
SHUTDOWN. IF TEMPORARY PUMPING IS USED THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SEDIMENT AND
EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AND DISSIPATING THE FLOW PRIOR TO ENTERING THE DITCH TO ENSURE NO WASH OUTS
OCCUR. REFER TO THE SPECIAL PROVISION ITEM M10 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON TEMPORARY PUMPING.
3. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD PREPARE AS MUCH OF THE EXCAVATION, RIP RAP/CONCRETE MAT AND ARMOUR STONE AS
POSSIBLE PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE HEADWALL. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD ANTICIPATE TEMPORARILY
SUPPORTING THE OUTFALL PIPE IF REQUIRED.
4. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD ALSO ANTICIPATE FLOWS IN THE OUTLET PIPING THAT CAN NOT BE HELD BACK DUE TO
STORM SEWERS THAT MAY TIE INTO THE PIPING BETWEEN THE POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT UV CHANNEL AND THE
EXISTING HEADWALL STRUCTURE. AN ADDITIONAL PLUG IN THE 900mm OUTLET PIPE MAY BE REQUIRED.
5. THE TYPICAL LEVEL OF THE RIVER IS ABOVE THE INVERT OF THE OUTLET PIPE AND CAN RANGE FROM 200mmTO FULL
SUBMERGENCE DEPENDING ON THE FLOWS IN THE RIVER. THIS WORK SHOULD BE SCHEDULED DURING LOW FLOW
CONDITIONS .THE CONTRACTOR WILL NEED TO PROVIDE A TEMPORARY PLUG IN THE PIPE TO PREVENT FLOW FROM
TRAVELING THROUGH THE PIPE AND INTO THE EXCAVATION.
6. A PERMIT TO TAKE WATER HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR TO ALLOW FOR TEMPORARY PUMPING AT THE HEADWALL LOCATION
TO CONTEND WITH GROUND WATER ISSUES.
7. GIVEN THAT THE NEW LOCATION OF THE HEADWALL IS SET BACK FROM THE EXISTING RIVERBANK CONSIDERATION
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO LEAVING THE EXISTING BANK IN PLACE WHILE INSTALLING THE HEADWALL. ONCE THE HEADWALL IS
IN PLACE THE EXISTING EMBANKMENT COULD THEN BE REMOVED WITHIN THE NEW CHANNEL, AND FINAL CHANNEL
RESTORATION/CONSTRUCTION COMPLETED AT THAT TIME.
