PAS 8811:2017

This standard PAS 8811:2017 Temporary works. Major infrastructure client procedures. Code of practice is classified in these ICS categories:

• 03.100.99 Other standards related to company organization and management
• 03.080.20 Services for companies
• 91.220 Construction equipment

This PAS gives recommendations on major infrastructure client procedures for all temporary works and temporary conditions of permanent works during construction. It covers processes, roles, responsibilities and competences, and provides example pro forma documentation.

The aim of this PAS is to establish a unified approach to client involvement in temporary works across all stages (e.g. defining requirements, procurement, installation, use and removal of temporary works structures) and eliminate unnecessary procedures and conflicts in order to achieve clarity and minimize delays during compliance and approvals processes and other necessary procedures.

This PAS is designed to complement BS 5975, Code of practice for temporary works and the permissible stress design of falsework with the same aim of controlling risk and ensuring adequate procedures. It concentrates on those client activities which are not covered by BS 5975.
