MCHW Volume 6 Departmental Standards and Advice Notes
Abstract
Provides guidance on the steps to be taken by the Overseeing Organisation (OO), its agents and contractors under New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 (NRSWA) when diversionary works may be required to apparatus owned by an Undertaker. Diversionary works include the removal, alteration and protection of Undertakers’ apparatus. Some advice is also given where NRSWA is not applicable to the necessary diversionary works. For all diversionary works, the OO and its Agents will instigate and maintain positive dialogue with all Undertakers in order to secure the efficient implementation of the necessary work and the avoidance of unnecessary delay. The OO believes that close liaison and open discussions with all Undertakers as early as possible within a project’s lifetime will help achieve a positive outcome for both parties.
