RULE XI

PROTECTION OF PEDESTRIANS DURING

CONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION
my answer

We are going to practice the first

fundamental cannon of civil engineering
which is to hold paramount the safety of the
public.So during the construction we need to
protect the pedestrian that will passby the
construction site.
 SECTION 1101. General Requirements
SECTION 1101. General Requirements
(a) No person shall use or occupy a street, alley or public
sidewalk for the performance of work covered by a
building permit except in accordance with the provisions
of this Rule.No shall not use any public street alley or
sidewalk during construction except when we
practice the provision that are specified on this rule.
(b) No person shall perform any work on any building or
structure adjacent to a public way in general use for
pedestrian travel, unless the pedestrians are protected as
specified in this Rule.

(c) Any material or structure temporarily occupying public

property,including fence,canopies, and walkways, shall
be adequately lighted, between sunset and sunrise.
As you can see on these picture there is a lightning
on the middle iof the walkway that is provided for the
pedestrian.
SECTION 1102. Storage in Public Property
Materials and equipment necessary for
work to be done under a permit when
placed or stored on public property
shall not obstruct free and convenient
approach to and use of any fire
hydrant, fire or police alarm box, utility
box, catch basin, or manhole and shall
not interfere with any drainage of any
street or alley gutter, and with the safe
and smooth flow of vehicular and
pedestrian traffic. So whenever no
when accident will happen so
materials and equipment necessary
for shall not obstruct free and
convenient approach to and use of
any fire hydrant, fire or police alarm
box, utility box, catch basin, or
manhole or any path that use by any
emergency respond that it will come
to the site in the unlike of the event
of an accident.
SECTION 1103. Mixing Mortar on Public Property
The mixing of mortar, concrete,
or similar materials on public
streets shall not be allowed.
So no matter how mess we
rissing this mixing of mortar is
this is not a practice that
should be done publicly,it
should be done only with in
the confines of the
construction sites. As you can
see on this picture
 SECTION 1104. Protection of Utilities
All public or private utilities above or
below the ground shall be protected
from any damage by any work being
done under the permit. The protection
shall be maintained while such work
is being done and shall not obstruct
the normal functioning of any such
utility.Public utility it refers to
anything that is for public
consunction or public use like
above the ground , it can refer
toelectric post, broad band internet
connection lines or signal towers
and below the ground it can mean
a water pipelines and underground
electric lines. so this needs to be
protected during cosruction.
SECTION 1105. Walkway
(a) When the Building Official authorizes a sidewalk to be
fenced or closed, or in case there is no sidewalk in front
of the building site during construction or demolition, a
temporary walkway of not less than 1.20 meters wide
shall be provided. Like for example nalang po dito sa
nakikita nyong mga picture kapagang opisyal ng
isang gusali ay pinahitulutan nyang isarado
pansamantala ang daanan para sa protection ng mga
tao na dadaan sa lugar o di kaya magbigay ng
kaonting daanan para sa mga tao na dadaan.
(b) The walkway shall be capable of supporting a uniform
live load of 650 kilograms per square meter. A durable
wearing surface shall be provided throughout the
construction period.Ang walkway ay may kakayahang
suportahan ang isang unipormeng live load na 650
kilo bawat metro kuwadrado. Ang isang matibay na
suot na ibabaw ay dapat ibigay sa buong panahon ng
pagtatayo.
 (c) Where the sidewalk is permitted by the Building
Official to be fully occupied and fenced-off or enclosed, a
temporary walkway adjacent to the curb line shall be
required. Where the street has no sidewalk, a temporary
walkway adjacent to the street line not less than 600
millimeters wide shall be provided. Where the RROW is
5.00 meters or less, no temporary walkway shall be
allowed.Kung ang kalye ay walang bangketa, isang
pansamantalang daanan na katabi ng linya ng kalye
na hindi bababa sa 600 milimetro ang lapad ay dapat
ipagkaloob. Kung ang RROW ay 5.00 metro o mas
kaunti, walang pansamantalang daanan ang
papayagan.

(d) Where only partial occupancy and fencing-off of the

sidewalk is necessary, a temporary walkway will not be
required provided that a width of at least 600 millimeters
of the sidewalk with protective railing on road side shall
be left open for the use of pedestrians.hindi
kakailanganin ang isang pansamantalang walkway
sa kondisyon na ang lapad na hindi bababa sa 600
millimeters ng sidewalk na may protective railing sa
gilid ng kalsada ay dapat iwanang bukas para sa
paggamit ng mga pedestrian.
SECTION 1106. Pedestrian Protection
(a) Protection Required. Pedestrian traffic shall be protected by a
railing on the street side when the walkway extends into the
roadway, by a railing when adjacent to excavations, and by such as
set forth in Table 1106-A: Type of Protection Required for
Pedestrians (Annex B-2).
(b) Railings. Adequate railings when required shall be built
substantially strong and should be at least 1.00 meter in height.For
the walkway it should have Railing atlease 1:00 meter hight .
(c) Fences. Fences shall be built of an approved material, not less
than 2.40 meters in height above grade, and be placed on the side
of the walkway nearest to the building site. Fences shall enclose
entirely the building site. Openings in such fences shall be provided
with doors which shall be kept closed at all times. So in the side of
the walkway that is adjacent to the construction site it needs to
be a fence of not less than 2.4 meters high
(d) Canopies. The protective canopy shall have a clear height of
2.40 meters above therailway, and shall be structurally safe. Every
canopy shall have a solid fence built along its entire length on the
construction side. If materials are stored or work is done on top of
the canopy, the edge along the street shall be protected by a tight
curb board not less than 300 millimeters high and a railing not less
than 1.00 meter high shall be provided. The entire structure shall be
designed to carry the loads imposed upon it: Provided, that the live
load shall be not less than 600 kilograms persquare meter. So the
walkway should have a roof to protect the pedestrian against
the weather .
 Warning Signs and Lights
a. At every construction/demolition site,
warning signs shall be conspicuously
posted around the property. Warning
signs shall be adequately illuminated at
night for the protection of unwary
pedestrians. All entrances/exits to and
from the construction/ demolition site shall
be kept closed at all times except during
actual passage of men, materials or
equipment. All warning signs and lights
shall be properly maintained even when
operations are not in progress. So as
you can see in this picture you will see
the warning sign .sso dapat laging
tandaan na palagi nyong titignan ang
inyong dinadaanan kung ito ba ay
ligtas o hinde.
SECTION 1107. Maintenance and Removal of Protective
Devices

So the walkway that are constructed

for the pedestrian should be properly
maintained during construction and
also removed when it is not used. or no
longer needed.(a) Maintenance. All
protective devices shall be properly
maintained in place and kept in good order
for the entire length of time pedestrians
may be endangered.
(b) Removal. Every protective fence or
canopy shall be removed within 30 days
after such protection is no longer required
as determined by the Building
Official.Pagtanggal. Ang bawat
proteksiyon na bakod o canopy ay
dapat alisin sa loob ng 30 araw
pagkatapos ng naturang proteksyon ay
hindi na kailangan ayon sa itinakda ng
Opisyal ng Gusali
SECTION 1108. Demolition
So di ka pwedeng basta bastang sumira
ng isang gusali lalo nat may
pagmamayari ng isang tao ang nasa
tabi nito.baka madamay pa ang nasa
tabi nito(a) The work of demolishing any
building shall not be commenced until all
the necessary pedestrian protective
structures are in place. Demolition
should not be done until all the
necessary pedestrian protective
structures are atplace. (b) The Building
Official may require the permittee to
submit plans, specifications and complete
schedule of demolition. When so required,
no work shall be done until such
plans,specifications and schedule are
approved by the Building Official.or if any
permit is not given by the building
