  3. Traffic co-ordination & Logistics • Background • Sustainable transport • Lorry routes • Traffic Co-ordination Centre • Lorry Holding Areas • Lorry driver training • Freight Operators Recognition Scheme • Construction

  4. Crossrail Commitments Environmental Minimum Requirements (EMR) Annex 1 ‘The Construction Code’ 4.6 Lorry Controls • 4.6.1 Approval of local routes to be used by construction lorries will be sought in accordance with the requirements of any Act and associated procedures resulting from the Act ( refer to Schedule 7 of the Act). • 4.6.2 As far as reasonably practicable, there will be no parking of lorries on the highway in the vicinity of any worksite except in specified holding areas for lorries waiting to deliver or remove materials from the site. • 4.6.3 An appropriate control system will be implemented for the dispatch of all vehicles containing excavated material, demolition materials or other waste material. Waste will be controlled and deposited in accordance with relevant legislation. • 4.6.4 Signs will be displayed in a prominent position on vehicles on public roads which are dedicated to the Crossrail project. The signs will uniquely identify the vehicle to Transport Planning and Management Deliveries to worksites restricted to ‘shoulder hours’ each side of core working hours. This restricts vehicle movements therefore to 07:00hrs to 19:00hrs weekdays and 07:00hrs to 14:00hrs on Saturdays; Transportation, storage and removal of excavated material by conveyor, barge and rail wherever practical; Regular traffic liaison with highway authorities, Police, bus operators and emergency services; Application of the materials management hierarchy: Road Transport Specific No engines running whilst awaiting loading or off loading; Specified and approved lorry routes, holding areas and route signage; A means of monitoring lorry use and those routes prohibited from use; Wheel washing; Correct loading and sheeting of vehicles; A control system for the despatch of vehicles carrying excavated materials, demolition materials and other waste materials; Crossrail insignia on vehicles; Exhaust silencers; Noise control features on reversing alarms; Low emission vehicles; Ultra low sulphur fuels.; Vehicles free from oil/ fuel leaks.

  5. Undertakings & Assurances Example Site Specific Commitment 0739_65 – Liverpool Street Station Use all reasonable endeavours to give UBS advance notice of deliveries of plant/materials that would divert or obstruct vehicular or pedestrian access to the Premises and where reasonably practicable arrange for such deliveries to take place outside working hours. Commitment 0306 – Whitechapel Station The promoter undertakes that construction traffic will be prohibited from using Durward Street between the hours of 0815 and 0845 in the morning and 1530-1600 in the afternoon. Commitment 0453_23 – Farringdon Station Marshall the parking of Crossrail's vehicles in the vicinity of the Properties to ensure that access by persons carrying out works to or business at the Properties on the Developer's behalf and by tenants/other occupiers of the Properties is not adversely affected. Example General Commitment 577 – Construction Traffic & Cycles • The Nominated Undertaker will provide site induction for lorry drivers, including a module on cycle awareness. Commitment 0187– Schools - lorry routeing Tower Hamlets • The Promoter undertakes that, where a proposed Crossrail lorry route passes a school that is not currently subject to heavy goods traffic, he will restrict the hours during which Crossrail construction traffic will operate and/or introduce appropriate traffic management measures to be agreed with the Council. These measures to include a 30 minute prohibition of Crossrail construction traffic when school pupils are arriving at school and a 30 minute prohibition when pupils are leaving. The exact hours will be agreed on a case by case basis with each school. The Promoter will work with the Council to develop a strategy for lorry routes that takes into account the nearby sensitive uses. The Promoter will consult on the day to day management of lorry holding sites.

  9. Lorry Routes

  10. Lorry Routes

  11. Lorry Route Signage

  12. Vehicle Identification Contractor must ensure that all hauliers are given and display the agreed Crossrail identifying sign in the cabs of all their vehicles.

  13. Traffic Co-ordination Centre (TCC) • To co-ordinate Crossrail traffic across central London contracts • To manage deliveries via the Vehicle Movement Booking System (VMBS) • Communication with external parties such as Police, TfL, local authorities etc, to obtain information on factors which could affect vehicle movements

  14. Traffic Co-ordination

  15. Vehicle Movement Booking System • Centralised system used by Contractors and the TCC • Used to book future vehicle movements for each worksite • Identify individual vehicles and track compliance with required vehicle standards; • Monitor and report actual vehicle movements

  17. Sample plan submission dates November 2010 October 2010

  18. Lorry Holding Areas • Regulates flow of traffic to site • Vehicle safety checking point • Reduces the risk of congestion • Prevents vehicles circulating locally

  19. Lorry Driver Training (LDT) • A programme designed to train frequent drivers engaged on the project • 1 day course, focussing on sharing the road with vulnerable users (e.g. cyclists); and fuel efficiency (reducing emissions) • To date approximately 700 drivers have been trained • Help lorry drivers understand how they can contribute to reducing the threat of terrorism in London • Enable Crossrail to demonstrate best practice in construction road safety

  20. LDT - Scope – Entire Supply Chain Frequent Drivers > 5 round trips to a CrossrailWorksite In a 12 month period Infrequent Drivers < 5 round trips to a CrossrailWorksite In a 12 month period Driver Induction Training Driver Induction Pack • Contractor Forecast • 12 month • 6 month • 1 period • 2 week • Contractor Forecast • 2 periods in advance

  21. LDT - Course Benefits • Drivers complete a unique ‘Crossrail Centric’ driver training course to become a safer driver. • The course accumulates ‘Driver CPC’ periodic training of 7 hours. • Employers save on costs associated with 7 hours D CPC • Drivers gain a greater understanding of the safety issues related to sharing London’s roads with vulnerable road users. • Drivers gain an understanding of how they can ‘Contribute to reducing the Threat of Terrorism’. • Drivers gain a ‘Crossrail Induction Trained Driver’ certificate and ID Tag. • Provides CRL with a clear audit trail and the ability to demonstrate • that the requirements behind Undertaking 577 are being met.

  22. Freight Operators Recognition Scheme(FORS) • Recognises & rewards excellence • Raises standards • Promotes sustainability

  23. FORS • Contractors must ensure that they and any suppliers of any tier are registered with TfL’s FORS • Attain bronze standard as a minimum within 3 months of contract award • If not FORS registered, a suitable equivalent standard of achievement must be demonstrated

  24. Vehicle safety equipment • Minimum set of safety equipment to be fitted to all vehicles • Vehicles > 3.5 tonnes have additional safety requirements • Vehicle and Driver Safety Management Plan • Refer to Works Information Volume 2B Part 26 Section 26.14

  25. Contractor Responsibilities • Appoint a Logistics Manager with relevant competencies • All Logistics activities within the site • All Logistics activities to deliver the works • All movement of plant, equipment, materials & people to and from site • The removal and treatment of all waste & excavated material • Coordination of all logistics activities with others • Develop, plan and implement logistics solutions to deliver the works
