Name of tool
AMP 3 Process Map

Description of tool - character
This is a process map in the style of a flow chart. This provides a process guide for all projects involved within the South West Team of the Capital Alliance programme which is led by Morrison Construction. The AMP3 Process is part of the existing Capital Investment Programme. </p> <p>The Process is a comprehensive step by step guide for investigating requirements at each stage of a project. The framework includes:<br> • Process Inputs - such as manhole survey, environmental appraisal and land referencing, <br> • Delivery Process – team activity includes formal and informal reviews of progress, <br> • Process Outputs – relating to Budget release and Risk meetings,<br> • Morrison Activity – specifies role for various staff within the organisation,<br> • Morrison Process Responsibility - who is ultimately responsible for each phase,<br> • Morrison Quality Assurance records – this lists the outputs that have to be released from the process such as minutes from a particular meeting that has to have taken place, Design validation report etc..</p> <p>The AMP3 Process Map is a clear framework that ensures consistency in the use of selected tools to improve sustainability of all Morrison Construction projects. The AMP 3 Process Map reflects an overall approach to working in an integrated environment by setting out different phases within a development and the outputs, activities and staff who should be involved at the different stages. This is the key tool in ensuring that issues relating to sustainability are considered at the earliest opportunity and integrated throughout the process. </p> <p>The process is used by the South West Team of the Capital Alliance programme which is led by Morrison Construction. All members of the team have to use the process. The process has won a number of awards including an internal award for Business Excellence. These internal company business awards are for projects or initiatives across three categories - Safety, Quality and Sustainability - which represent a significant contribution towards achievement of the group&acute;s values.</p>

Description of tool - availability
The tool originated from a basic commercial process when it was decided that an auditable process map/tool was required due to the method of working on the AMP3 framework contract. Is it based on other processes.

Description of tool - existing
The tool has been designed to be adapted to local circumstances and individual projects. Parts of the process can be excluded if they are not appropriate and other sections can be revisited if necessary, for example, revisions to design may require replication of an earlier step in the process to identify the impacts of the change.

Name of tool
Environmental Impact/Aspect Register and Risk Assessment

Description of tool - character
This is an assessment (Checklist) method with guidelines for assessing the potential environmental impacts of a project. This tool requires a &acute;specific risk rating&acute; - low, medium and high - to be given to many potential impacts through a tick box format. Mitigation measures are provided in order for potential impacts to be rectified. For example to mitigate the impact of contamination of watercourses with fuels, oils, chemicals and silt etc a number of measures are specified including ensure plant entering the watercourse is well maintained and scrupulously clean and pollution prevention equipment such as oil booms and silt blankets must be available throughout the duration of the works, among others. Additional information is available in the form of procedures, forms and guidance.</p> <p>Fifteen aspects are included within the tool, for example, Release of solid, liquid and gaseous wastes; waste generation and disposal; nuisance; land use; water usage which are each divided into many potential impacts that should be considered.</p>
