Utilizing Part of the Right of Way for Concrete Casting: A Footprint Schedule
Utilizing part of the Right of Way for concrete casting requires a clear description of the public space affected. A footprint schedule links each item of equipment or material to its location and work stage. It helps the project team explain the proposal consistently before the relevant RTA permit review.
Separate the pump, deliveries and temporary items
The concrete pump is only one part of the arrangement. Identify mixer receiving positions, equipment access, temporary materials and any public-route interface. Use confirmed supplier information and a current site layout. Do not treat the full road frontage as available simply because it is beside the project.
For loading and unloading associated with the pour, record whether the delivery vehicle remains inside the site or occupies external space. This avoids a mismatch between a drawing showing one vehicle and a programme that assumes several vehicles can wait nearby.
Create a location-by-stage schedule
| Schedule field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Item and reference | Connect equipment to the supplier’s confirmed information |
| Proposed position | Locate it on the same base drawing used by the traffic team |
| Stage of use | Separate setup, casting, cleaning and removal |
| Public-space interface | Identify affected parking, footpaths or traffic movements |
| Input owner | Show who must resolve missing or changed information |
Check overlapping occupation
Review the schedule against other deliveries and maintenance activities planned for the frontage. Two contractors may have assumed access to the same area. Resolve that conflict through coordination before the drawing is finalised; one contractor’s booking does not establish another contractor’s right to occupy public space.
Where positions change between stages, show the change explicitly. The team should assess whether the proposed permit and drawing package cover each stage. If the scope changes after approval, check the amendment or additional approval requirements before changing the field arrangement.
Use the schedule as a project input
This schedule is a coordination aid, not an official RTA application form. The applicable submission requirements depend on the service and scope. Send it with your location details, photographs and available drawings when requesting loading, unloading and concrete casting permit support. It can also help the team scope Right of Way application assistance without guessing the extent of the occupation.
Official service reference and project enquiry
Check the current RTA service for temporary occupation of part of the Right-of-Way against your proposed scope. Confirm the applicable route before starting public-space occupation.
