Temporary Works Toolkit

摘要

The design of temporary works to European standards requires consideration of the associated features and risks, which may not necessarily apply to permanent works. Currently, there is not a great deal of guidance on the design of temporary works to European standards. Perhaps more importantly, the available standards need to be considered carefully in order to ensure that levels of reliability and safety which have previously been considered appropriate to the design of temporary works are not compromised. To reduce uncertainty and provide complementary guidance to practitioners, the BSI guide PAS 8812 has been developed. It aims to promote consistency in the design approach to temporary works by providing a means of navigating the diverse landscape of existing standards and guidance documents associated with temporary works design. PAS 8812, together with the companion document PAS 8811, endeavour to support continuity of good practice while providing specific guidance on some key technical issues presented in this article.
