racking.
A testing and commissioning exercise is required for each completed structure and needs to
be satisfactorily concluded before the structure can be put into operational use.
Designs have already been established for the various structure sizes ‘types’ and the type
used will be informed by client/end user requirements.
Project Duration
The total on-site construction time for each individual site can vary between eight to twelve
weeks and, depending on the size and number of contractor installation teams that will be
used, overall project duration could be up to 12 months.

General Matters
The supply chain contractors have/will be appointed by the Client (or via one of their entities)
and, whilst there is no requirement to novate these contractors to any other party, the
Principal Contractor would be required to plan, manage, monitor and co-ordinate their entire
delivery of the project (and which would include all respective CDM 2015 requirements).
Following the satisfactory appointment of a competent Principal Contractor, works are ready
to proceed at a few weeks’ notice on the first site.
Each site typically involves four/five separate contractors although works are sequenced
such that only one contractor is on site at any time.
The Client has appointed a Principal Designer and the majority of all individual design work
has been undertaken by the respective contractors. It is likely however that design coordination meetings will still be required for each site and any such meetings would require
attendance and input from the Principal Contractor.
The Principal Contractor will need to hold Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation and its key
personnel working on the project will need to hold the, “Security Check” level of security
clearance.
