Read the first 7 Site Management flashcards as text

  1. Which document establishes the contractor's plan for managing construction waste on a project site?

    Answer: Waste Management Plan

    A Waste Management Plan outlines how construction debris will be sorted, recycled, or disposed of on site.

  2. What is the primary purpose of a pre-construction survey of adjacent properties?

    Answer: To document existing conditions and prevent future liability claims

    Pre-construction surveys document existing damage to neighboring properties so the contractor is not held liable for pre-existing conditions.

  3. A contractor discovers unmarked underground utilities during excavation. What is the FIRST action to take?

    Answer: Stop work and notify the owner and utility company

    Work must stop immediately upon discovering unmarked utilities, and the owner and relevant utility companies must be notified.

  4. Which specification section typically addresses temporary erosion and sediment control measures?

    Answer: Division 31 — Earthwork

    Temporary erosion and sediment control measures are typically specified in Division 31 under Earthwork sections.

  5. What is the function of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)?

    Answer: To identify pollutant sources and practices to reduce stormwater contamination during construction

    A SWPPP identifies potential pollutant sources on a construction site and establishes best management practices to prevent stormwater contamination.

  6. When a geotechnical report recommends over-excavation and replacement, the specifier should ensure the specification addresses:

    Answer: Material type, compaction requirements, and testing frequency for fill

    Over-excavation and replacement specifications must define acceptable fill material, required compaction density, lift thickness, and testing protocols.

  7. Which party is typically responsible for locating underground utilities before excavation begins?

    Answer: The contractor

    The contractor is responsible for contacting utility locating services (e.g., 811 in the US) and verifying utility locations before commencing excavation.
