3 Steps to Ensure a Successful Construction Site Setup

Key aspects of construction site setup include identifying underground services, securing site perimeters, and ensuring safety compliance for project success.

Proper site setup is the key to project success. This article highlights three crucial aspects of construction site setup that demand your attention to ensure smooth and successful build.

 

Underground Services 

Uncover what lies beneath before breaking the ground. Engaging beforeUdig certified locators to identify underground services within the perimeters, especially areas designated for excavation and foundation work. Utilising cutting edge ground penetrating radar (GPR) promote accuracy in detection and prevent costly damage. 

 

Site Perimeter

Establishing secure and robust perimeter fencing and hoarding is vital, to withstand New Zealand’s unpredictable weather. Temporary fencing not only protects the public safety by keeping them out of hazardous areas but also safeguards your site from unauthorized access.  

Additionally, hoarding offers exceptional opportunity for marketing, by displaying company signage that promotes your brand while safeguarding your site. 

 

Safety and Compliance 

Safety and compliance are non-negotiable in any successful project. Clear and visible signage at the site entrance and across the site to notify workers and public of potential hazards serve as your first line of defence against accidents and liabilities. Regular updates on hazard board and site-specific safety plan demonstrate your commitment to safe working environment.

A well-organized site is the first step toward a successful build. By prioritising underground service location, securing site perimeter and upholding the highest safety standards, building contractors can ensure that their projects not only meet expectations but exceed them.
