7.1.1. Split of the activity necessary for Temporary Relocation and Accommodation
The wide variety of subdivision of the scope of work oblige, as the first step, to state the
split of the activities performed by the various organizations. A table like the following
can be used to do so. Note that, in every case, some activities shall be done
mandatory by TPIT, and other can be foreseen for various involved organizations.
Activity Always by TPIT Others
• Prepare the contractual TCF/CAMP specification
• Propose the Camp Location
• Check the proposed TCF/CAMP location
• TCF- CAMP Design layout
• Review Subcontractors TCF/Camp layout and X
design
• Select supplier and contractors and give the order
• Coordinate/Follow the realization
• Verify the realization X
• Operate the TCF/Camp
• Inspect regularly the operation X
• Provide for final disposal
Note: This split can be utilized by the project management as contractual reference.
Prior to the start of work, any organization shall prepare a TCF and Accommodation
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
Planning the TCF and Accommodation, shall be considered the topics reported in Par.
7 and the specific site scope for the work, the local requirements and the rough
estimation of the site workforce. In particular, for New Camp Installation, see also
paragraph 12.
Making all the various consideration, also the impact on local community/organizations
facilities shall be identified and addressed:
The impact can be assumed as negligible when the new relocated and accommodated
group can utilize the services supplied by a nearby community/organization of sufficient
size.
TPIT shall check the Subcontractor TCF and Accommodation plan/drawings and shall
make initial survey on site to verify the Subcontractor is planning and installing its TCF
and Accommodation according with this guideline and any other project requirements.
Further to the topics reported in the paragraph 7, the area necessary for the TCF
realization shall be evaluated also taking into account:
• Project scope of work, characteristics and requirements;
• Constructability criteria;
• Past experience.
Involved areas must be cleared, improved (if necessary), compacted, and leveled with
the proper slope. Soil improvement shall be aimed to assure a sufficient mechanical
strength under all the construction situation of use and avoidance of excessive mud/
dust production. Particular areas shall be covered by gravel or stabilized with bitumen.
Also, particular areas can require a specially hardened and horizontal surface under all
foreseeable weather conditions (for instance, areas with big cranes).
The final slope of the areas shall be realized as to direct the surface (meteoric) water to
the ditch system for final disposal.
Inside Industrial complex, at least the borders of the TCF areas under TPIT control shall
be clearly marked and un-authorized trespassing prohibited and properly prevented as
a minimum by means of signs.
In all other cases and when foreseen, all the construction and TCF area shall be
properly fenced to “isolate” the site from uncontrolled external situations.
Each area shall be fenced and controlled by the Company to which it is assigned, both
including Technip and Subcontractors.
The final fence shall be installed as soon as possible so to avoid the bulk of temporary
fencing. The typology of the fence shall depend on the local conditions (open areas,
areas inside a fenced industrial area, and areas inside an existing plant).
The minimum fence is realized with substantial wire mesh and wood poles of sufficient
strength. Normally, a dirt patrol road shall be foreseen on the internal side of the
external fence.
• Guard house;
• A pedestrian door;
• A vehicle door;
• A road removable bar;
• Access control system (see also Section 8.5.8);
Secondary gates can be foreseen (for instance: emergency exits, big components
access, and material access). These gates normally shall be properly “locked”.
Temporary accesses shall be prepared to guarantee the easy and safe access from
the public external road network. These accesses shall have mechanical
characteristics compatible with the foreseen traffic and the local road regulations
(signals, bends, deceleration of vehicles). Normally these accesses shall be asphalted.
Within the TCF areas, as a rule, vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be separated.
Also, internally to the site can be necessary provide for accessibility (aside the
temporary roads). In particular:
• Metallic bridges over ditches/pipe ways (substantially: pedestrian);
• Slopes to connect different levels of work areas.
When required, a particular area shall be organized for the cleaning of the mud from
the wheels of the exiting trucks, so to avoid contamination of the public roads.
The temporary roads shall have a sufficiently resistant sub base, proper slope and
sufficient space at bends. A ditches system shall be foreseen to remove the meteoric
water and to guarantee a proper drainage.
The material shall be so to avoid excessive mud production for a safe traffic and to
minimize impact on the outside communities. It is a good practice to utilize the same
location of the final plant roads to realize a proper sub base that shall be useful later.

• Outside the main gate – mainly to park the employees and visitor cars;
• At the main gate, to park the trucks before they are allowed to enter the fenced area
and to facilitate an orderly evacuation of the personnel in case of emergency;
• Inside the fence – Substantially at the office areas;
• When possible, close to the field activities area to park the site service cars.
A physical limit (concrete block/ wood log) shall be fixed on ground to limit the end
movement of the car.
Special areas shall be dedicated to the lay down of the materials. These areas can be
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
or not be fenced, according to the materials stored. These areas shall be properly
drained of the meteoric water. For Lay down area positioning, see also par. 8.7.1.
The accessibility must be guaranteed both during normal operations and emergencies
situations. Sufficient distance shall be foreseen between the stored
materials/components and the access roads, especially at bends. When the distance
between the stored materials/components and the access roads is too short
(indicatively less than 1m) bright colored barriers shall be installed.
In some cases, these areas will be used to perform construction work: preassembling
work, abrasive blasting and painting activity.
Areas shall be dedicated to the temporary storage of waste. These areas shall be
segregated – especially from animals but also from wind/rain – paved/curbed according
to the waste typology and so to avoid dispersion in the environment.
a) Storage areas for waste material contaminated by “spillage”
Segregated areas shall be dedicated by each organization to the temporary storage
of materials (soil and recovery absorbents) mixed with spillage. The floor shall
provide a suitable containment. These wastes shall be stored separately in closed
containers duly marked.
Illumination shall be sufficient, both during daily hours and at night. Areas with limited
illumination (buildings internals) shall be provided with temporary lighting system.

• 5.0 m from each rail on curved sections and 15 meter before/after the curve;
• 5.0 m from road edges;
• 10.0 m from storage area.
• 5.0 m in all directions from overhead electric line (to be evaluated case by case
considering also the Voltage of the line);
• If the distance from hazardous live plant areas (i.e. blow down, ground flare,
furnaces, major fuel storage, possible toxic or flammable release, etc.) is less than
200m, then a specific risk analysis shall be conducted in order to establish the due
preventive and protective measures and the relative emergency plan.
Preferably the temporary building shall not be developed more than one floor unless
otherwise specify and authorized by the site management; in any case safety and
evacuation systems shall be always ensured. Both prefabricated and masonry
buildings are acceptable.

internal climate (+20 /+22 degrees centigrade, correct humidity level and change of air
volumes) during normal operation at the design climatic conditions.
The position of the air inlet shall be located (and protected, if necessary) so to
guarantee a safe source of clean air.
The floor shall be elevated from external ground level of 30 cm minimum, and shall
have anti slip / washable PVC (Polyvinylchloride) or similar material lining for
prefabricated buildings or commercial tiles for masonry buildings.
External walls and roof shall be thermally insulated to minimize energy consumption.
Internal walls (fixed and mobile) and false ceilings shall be made of light and unreflective
material. One external window must be foreseen for all offices permanently occupied.

Not European Eastern type WC with hygienic shower
This dimensioning step is very critical because from this activity depends the
availability of sufficient space dedicated to the proper storage and movement of men
and vehicles.
The warehouse buildings shall have, at least, four (4) entry doors:
• two (2) (in front and back), to allow the entry of the trucks (the dimensions have to
be 5 meters width and 4 meters height);
• two (2) (in front and back) for pedestrian entries. The pedestrian doors shall be
emergency type;
• Depending from the geometry and the size of the warehouse additional emergency
doors could be necessary.
The roof, made by panels thermally insulated, (in some particularly hot weather also
the walls can be insulated), has to have, a least, an height of 5 meters.
Preferably, vasistas type windows shall be installed on top of lateral external walls so to
assure a sufficient level of illumination inside and change of air (if needed).

Provision shall be done for segregate chemicals and oils inside a basin and with
facilities for the transfer.
It is a good practice to provide an asphalted and covered area outside the warehouse
for external activities.
Workshop buildings shall have characteristics similar to that of the warehouse. The
difference mainly consists on the fact that a lot of persons shall be working all day long
inside its premises.
Racks must be installed to permit a correct storage of tools, cables, and tubing. Design
of internal facilities distribution shall be done so to avoid cables/tubing on the floor.
Transportation of the raw materials, their working flux and final removal shall be
organized so to avoid excessive interference with the workers and storage of not-
utilized material. An area is dedicated to the temporary storage of scraps and wastes.

9. TEMPORARY ACCOMODATION
9.1. Introduction
Specific decision is generally taken site by site considering the overall general
situations. New camps generally are one of the last options.
The “new” TPIT camps shall be installed only inside Owner’s property.
TPIT shall authorize the operation of a “new” camp, both for its own employees and
Contractors personnel. The authorization can be given only after a positive check of:
• Emergency preparedness
• Provisions for hygiene and healthy life of the personnel
• Measure to mitigate the personnel “rat in the trap” syndrome
• Acceptable impact on the local communities/environment
With reference also to the par. 7.2.1, during the planning phase for the accommodation
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
of the relocated employees, the impact on the local community facilities and
environment shall be identified and addressed.
There may be an impact on local services/supplies within local townships e.g. shops.
But, also, the roads, the parking lots, the services, the utilities, the level of prices.
Presumably, using existing accommodation structures, we shall have the least impact
(and probably positive) on the existing community.
Consideration shall be devoted, also, to the impact of the “working activity” on the
community facilities: waste transportation and final destination, materials/components
transportation on the public road system, use of excavated material
Most of the consideration of the following section of this guideline is dedicated to the
New Temporary camps, which, as above stated, can be considered the most critical
situations as temporary accommodation solution.
In case of structures foreseen for groups of employees, TPIT has the duty and have
the right to make inspections before and during the development of activity to ascertain
the standards applied both toward the employees and the local duties. Following
standard for new temporary camps can be taken into account as general reference.
The compounds normally are located inside existing communities and all the supporting
services are nearby available.
An inspection and a specific check list shall be done before, and to support the needed
TPIT authorization issue.
Where TPIT and/or Subcontractor plans to lease/release or rent an existing Camp, the
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
parties shall ensure that the standard of the Camp meets the Owner/TPIT
requirements, as expressed in the contractual documents, in terms of structure, layout,
facilities and other functional and HSE elements of design. In any case, the camp
requirements as per Section 12 shall be satisfied.
In particular, this means a check of the maintenance status and of the surrounding
environment (note that, at least, when the camp was realized probably the plant was
not in operation).
Such dispensation requests should be submitted to Owner for study and consideration.
An inspection and a specific check list (see in Attachment) shall be done before, and to
support; the needed TPIT authorization issue.
Normally all these considerations are taken into account by Owner and the new camp is
a contractual condition. Normally, the Owner shall make available the relevant areas.
• Guard house
• Camp administrative office, reception, warehouse/vending area
• Residences/dormitories/ centralized hygienic services (if any)
• Kitchen, canteen/mess room, food storage
• Recreation buildings(s) areas
• Play grounds (soccer, tennis/basket courts, gymnasium, swimming pool, etc.)
• Mosque/church/temple (if any)
• Laundry, Infirmary
• All major utilities/services: electricity, water, waste disposal, sanitary facilities, etc.
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
Before starting any installation works, Supplier/Subcontractor shall provide, for review
and approval, a camp summary design and specification that includes, but is not limited,
to the following (see also par. 7):
All sites used for camps shall be adequately drained. They shall not be subject to
periodic flooding, nor located within 60m of swamps, pools, sink holes, or other surface
collections of water unless such quiescent water surfaces can be subjected to mosquito
control measures.
The camp shall be located so the drainage from and through the camp will not
endanger any domestic or public water supply. All sites shall be graded, ditched, and
rendered free from depressions in which water may become a nuisance.
The principal camp area in which food is prepared and served and where sleeping
quarters are located shall be at least 150m from any area in which livestock is kept.
Furthermore the camp shall be at least 5 km of any industrial site or local singular
hazard that could create a grave risk to human life.
As reference, the minimum space for each person, including roads, services, and basic
amenities, shall meet the following requirements:
The distance between every building shall not be less than 6 meters and not less than 3
meters from any carriage way/road. The distance between each building may be
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
reduced to 4 meters, only if the exterior of the building is fire resistant 30 minutes and
no opening is foreseen facing the adjacent buildings.
Evaluating the location where to erect the camp, public emergency services (fire
fighting, medical, police, etc.) and personnel evacuation shall be taken into account.
Camp area shall be carefully fenced to “isolate” the camp from uncontrolled external
situations. Fence typology and security systems depend on local conditions and
locations. The minimum fence is realized with substantial wire mesh and wood poles of
sufficient strength. Sufficient illumination of the perimeter shall be installed.
Normally, a dirt patrol road shall be foreseen on the internal side of the external fence.
A gate shall be installed at the main access from the external road network, including:
• Guard house;
• A pedestrian and vehicles doors;
• A road removable bar and/or a gate.
Secondary gates can be foreseen (for instance: emergency exits, big components
access, and material access). These gates normally shall be properly “locked”.
Temporary accesses shall be prepared to guarantee the easy and safe access from
the public external road network. Normally these accesses shall be asphalted. As a
rule, vehicular and pedestrian traffic shall be separated.
Paved pathways shall be provided to all buildings and adequate safe road access shall
be arranged for the efficient and safe delivery of food supplies, consumables and in
case of emergency reasons (fire truck, ambulance, etc.).
Covered areas of parking lots shall be foreseen. Reverse parking shall be applied.
Illumination shall be sufficient, during daily and night hours. Areas with limited light
(buildings internals) shall be provided with lighting system (see also par.8.4).
Where electric service is available, each habitable room in a camp shall be provided
with at least one ceiling-type light fixture and at least one separate floor- or wall-type
convenience outlet. Laundry and toilet rooms and rooms where people congregate
shall contain at least one ceiling- or wall-type fixture.
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
Light levels in toilet and storage rooms shall be at least 200 Lux at 1m from the floor.
Other rooms, including kitchens and living quarters, shall be at least 300 Lux at 1m
from the floor.
Every building in the camp shall be constructed in a manner which will provide
protection against the local environmental conditions.
Living quarters shall be of sufficient area and volume and be provided with adequate
means of ventilation, air-conditioning, heating, in order to maintain normal living
conditions at all times, both during cold and hot weather.
All heating, cooking, and water heating equipment shall be installed in accordance with
local ordinances, codes, and regulations governing such installations.
The grounds and open areas surrounding the buolding shall be maintained in a clean
and sanitary condition free from rubbish, debris, waste paper, garbage, or other refuse.
The floors of each shelter shall be constructed of wood, asphalt, or concrete. Wooden
floors shall be of smooth and tight construction. The floors shall be kept in good repair.
All wooden floors shall be elevated not less than 0.3m above the ground level at all
points to prevent dampness and to permit free circulation of air beneath.
"Banking" with earth or other suitable material around the outside walls in areas subject
to extreme low temperatures, shall be always possible.
All living quarters shall be provided with windows the total of which shall be not less
than one-tenth of the floor area. At least one-half of each window shall be so
constructed that it can be opened for purposes of ventilation.
All exterior openings shall be effectively screened with curtain. All screen doors shall
be equipped with self-closing devices.
For common buildings and dormitories a minimum of two opposite safety external
emergency with alarm and illumination/signals doors shall be foreseen.
Each room used for sleeping purposes shall contain from a minimum 3.5 square
meters up to a maximum 4.5 square meters of floor space for each occupant. At least a
2.1m ceiling shall be provided.
specifically furnished or outside the extent of the agreed upon right of use.
Beds, cots, or bunks, and suitable storage facilities such as wall lockers for clothing
and personal articles shall be provided in every room used for sleeping purposes. Such
beds or similar facilities shall be spaced not closer 1m both laterally and end to end,
