1,2 main guide lines

Construction Stages:

Identify areas for site preparation, foundation works, structural construction, and finishing stages.
Ensure compliance with Egyptian standards for materials used in each stage.
Site Dynamics:

Account for local weather conditions and plan construction activities accordingly.
Consider the impact of cultural practices and holidays on construction schedules.
Site Access:

Comply with local regulations for site access, considering neighboring properties and public spaces.
Ensure accessibility for emergency vehicles and adhere to Egyptian traffic safety regulations.
Temporary Structures:

Determine locations for site offices, storage areas, and temporary facilities in accordance with zoning regulations.
Comply with local standards for temporary structures, ensuring they meet safety requirements.
Construction Element Spaces:
Verify Egyptian building codes for minimum spacing between structures.
Consider cultural aspects and local preferences when planning the layout of different construction elements.
Health and Safety (H/S) Regulations:

Given the focus on Egyptian regulations, tailor the H/S plan accordingly:

H/S Officer and Training:

Ensure compliance with local regulations regarding the appointment of an H/S officer.
Provide training that aligns with Egyptian safety standards for all workers.
PPE Requirements:

Adhere to Egyptian standards for personal protective equipment (PPE).

Communicate the importance of PPE use to workers and enforce compliance.
Emergency Response:

Establish emergency response stations equipped with first aid supplies and communication tools.
Familiarize workers with emergency evacuation procedures as per Egyptian regulations.
Construction Material Handling:

Comply with local regulations regarding the handling and storage of construction materials.
Implement safe material transportation practices in accordance with Egyptian standards.
Labor Movement:

Plan for safe and efficient movement of labor, taking into account local regulations on working hours and breaks.
Consider cultural factors that may affect the movement and behavior of labor on the construction site.

Qdaily = Qtotal / construction period = 2000 / 50 = 40 ton.

Qmax = Qdaily * stock time = 40 x 5 =200 ton
Area = 200 / 2 = 100 square meter.

Construction site layout involves identifying, sizing, and placing temporary facilities (TFs) within the boundaries of
construction site. These temporary facilities range from simple laydown areas to warehouses, fabrication shops,
maintenance shops, batch plant, and residence facilities. Required temporary facilities and their areas are depending
in many factors including project type, scale, design, location, and organization of construction work.


Project Scope and Phases:
 Understand the overall project scope and break it down into phases.
 Plan the layout to accommodate the specific requirements of each construction phase.
 Regulatory Compliance:
 Comply with local building codes, zoning regulations, and other legal requirements.
 Ensure that the site layout adheres to health and safety regulations.
 Site Accessibility:
 Provide clear and safe access points for construction vehicles, equipment, and personnel.
 Consider neighboring properties and public spaces to minimize disruptions.
 Site Topography:
 Account for the natural terrain and topography of the site.
 Plan grading and drainage to prevent water accumulation and erosion.
 Utilities and Services:
 Identify the location of existing utilities (water, electricity, gas) and plan around them.
 Arrange for temporary utility connections needed during construction.
 Material Storage and Handling:
 Designate areas for the storage of construction materials, considering proximity to work areas.
 Plan for efficient material handling and transportation routes.
 Equipment Placement:
 Determine the locations of heavy machinery and construction equipment.
  Ensure adequate space for equipment operation and maintenance.
 Safety Considerations:
 Implement safety measures to protect workers and the public.
 Plan for emergency access and egress routes and locate first aid stations strategically.
 Environmental Impact:
 Minimize environmental impact by considering factors such as dust control and erosion prevention.
 Comply with environmental regulations related to construction activities.
 Community Relations:
 Communicate with the local community to address concerns and minimize disruptions.
 Consider noise control measures to mitigate the impact on nearby residents.
 Space for Temporary Structures:
 Identify locations for site offices, storage containers, restrooms, and other temporary structures.
 Ensure these structures are placed for convenience without hindering construction activities.
 Logistical Efficiency:
 Optimize the layout for efficient movement of workers, materials, and equipment.
 Minimize unnecessary travel distances and congestion points.
 Future Expansion or Modifications:
 Anticipate future needs and potential modifications to the site layout.
 Plan for scalability and flexibility in layout design.
 Cultural and Aesthetic Considerations:
 Consider local cultural preferences and aesthetics when planning the site layout.
 Ensure the construction site aligns with the surrounding environment.
 Construction Schedule:
 Align the site layout with the construction schedule to optimize workflow.
 Plan for any dependencies or critical paths in the construction timeline.

Criticism of the present layout:
-- Materials are not stockpiled near
- Entrance to the site is too narrow for truck to pass.
- Stores are located behind the batching plant so obscuring storeman's view and
check point is separated from the stores.
- Concrete and mortar mixers are located too far.
- Temporary roads are long and narrow.
- Some stores are difficult to reach.
Batch plant is located far from work areas.
. - Access roads are not located along the whole site
- First aid office is located very close to the working area.
