Mitigation Measures > Construction Phase Strategies and Mitigation Measures |
| |
 |
The general mitigation measures for the Site to be used include:
| – |
Prior identification and recording of the all the significant features, finishes, fittings and contents in the existing buildings, and assessment of their vulnerability during construction. This should include for instance the recording of historic doors which are vulnerable to damage if left in situ or carelessly removed and stored.
|
| – |
Permanent or temporary removal off site of loose or vulnerable items.
|
| – |
Preparation of a schedule of protection works to preserve or secure items and finishes remaining in situ during construction. |
| – |
Preparation of a schedule of protection measures to the exteriors and interiors of the buildings to be put in place before the enabling and investigation works during design stage or before the construction operations. Ensuring the responsible contractor understands the significance and vulnerabilities of the building structures, constructions, features and finishes prior to starting the work to avoid overloading or inappropriate storage or construction activities. |
| – |
Use of appropriate heritage related construction methods for the modification and refurbishment works. |

Mitigation Measures for other Built Heritage Resources within 50m but Outside the Site
| – |
A baseline condition survey and baseline vibration impact for the Proposed Grade 3 historic building (No. 20 Hollywood Road) will be conducted by a specialist for the approval of AMO and Buildings Department prior to commencement of the construction works to define the vibration control limits and recommend a vibration monitoring proposal for the concerned historic buildings and structures in CPS and outside CPS but close to the new constructions. The proposal will be submitted to the AMO for approval. |

Mitigation Measures for Archaeological Resources
| – |
No sites of archaeological interest identified. No mitigation measures required. |
| – |
Not required at the archaeological potential area of the Garage (building 05) and Married Inspectors’ Quarters and Deputy Superintendent’s House (building 04), no mitigation measures as it will not be impacted by the proposed development necessary.
However, if new underground services are proposed at the later stage, subject to the outcome of the archaeological investigation to be conducted in detailed design stage for the Project, the need for archaeological investigation and subsequent impact assessment due to the new underground services should be reviewed. If considered necessary, appropriate mitigation measures should be provided. |
| – |
An archaeological investigation will be conducted in eight archaoelogical potential areas (the Parade Ground, Prison Yard, Barracks Lane, the area between A Hall (building 11) and B Hall (building 12), the area between Ablutions block (building 08) and the revetment wall to the south, the single storey extension at the west end of D Hall (building 14), Laundry (building 16) and General Office (building 18)) to obtain field data for a further detailed impact assessment during detailed design stage of the Project. Subject to the findings of the archaeological investigation, appropriate mitigation measures will be recommend and agreed with the AMO. |
