What are Temporary Works in Construction?

Definition and examples of temporary works

Temporary works are structures or systems required for a limited period of time to facilitate the construction process until the permanent works are complete. Some examples of temporary works include crane bases and ties, hoist bases and ties, access scaffolding, shoring, formwork, falsework, excavation and temporary site facilities. Although temporary, they are of vital importance in executing projects safely and effectively.

Role of temporary works coordination on site

Temporary works coordinators (TWCs) are the key personnel on sites who are responsible for the identification, development, design management and implementation of all temporary works. They develop the temporary works register, design briefs, design check certificates and issue permits to load. They ensure compliance with company policies and have the technical skills to develop and implement safe and efficient schemes.
