OWRR Design Guidelines

Refer to UNC-Chapel Hill Design Guidelines Chapter III: Construction Staging Areas, Pedestrian and Vehicular Access,Traffic Control and Pedestrian and Bike Safety Plans and Chapter IV: Construction Design Guidelines for Working Within and/or Near Occupied Buildings.

In order to maintain services to buildings under construction and adjacent buildings, OWRR and its contractors must be able to access dumpsters and loading docks during all phases of construction and renovation.  Contact Ray Lanier (919) 962-7175.

The questions and considerations given in this section are designed to ensure continued and efficient solid waste services to campus buildings.

These issues must be addressed and discussed with OWRR throughout the design process.

Yes:

The phasing and staging plans must take into consideration the continuation of services throughout the project.

(See Staging Plans  and Container Removal information pages.)

No:

Multiple buildings may share a service area.  Therefore, it is vital that this be taken in to consideration before assuming that dumpsters or carts can be removed or blocked during construction.   (See the section below.)

All non-essential containers (dumpster, indoor bins, and carts) must be removed prior to any site work or construction fencing being installed.

Yes:

Site drawings must reflect current conditions and plans must reflect temporary changes (See Staging Plans.)

OWRR, Housekeeping, and Parking & Transportation must be consulted and problems resolved satisfactorily for all involved.  Vehicular and pedestrian access via walks and ramps must be maintained to dumpsters and buildings.

No:

Great!  If, at any time, unexpected conditions cause access to be temporarily blocked, OWRR must be notified immediately.
