Bangkok, Thailand,2050

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally proinvestment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods.

The maternal mortality and under-five mortality rates have been greatly reduced and more than 97% of the population, both in the urban and rural areas, now have access to clean water and sanitation. At the same time, there are concerns about environmental sustainability.

Poverty in Thailand is primarily a rural phenomenon, with 88% of the country's 5.4 million poor living in rural areas. Some regions—particularly the North and Northeast—and some ethnic groups lag greatly behind others, and the benefits of economic success have not been shared equally, especially between Bangkok, Thailand’s largest urban area, and the rest of the country.

About 2.5 billion people in the world depend economically on bamboo (INBAR, 1999), and international trade in bamboo amounts to about US$2.5 million (INBAR, 2005). National and local trade is likely a few times higher. There are other numerous examples of the importance of bamboo for national economies and international trade. However, reliable statistics are still lacking. Most of the economic activities related to bamboo are not recorded officially. They are site-specific, highly diverse and present challenges for official data collection (FAO, 2001a).

Non-wood forest products, including bamboo, do not have standard classifications. They are usually classified according to their structure (roots, leaves, bark) or the end use (medicine, food, beverages, utensils, etc.). Bamboo product classification is even more complicated due to the multifunctionality.

Bamboo can be attributed to almost all NWFP categories. It can be used for construction, pulp, board, cloth, food, fuel, medicine, utensils and crafts.

The growing industrial and environmental importance of bamboo requires development of more comprehensive statistics on bamboo resources, utilization and trade. In 2005 the World Customs Organization (WCO) approved an FAO/INBAR proposal to introduce 16 new Harmonized System codes, including bamboo pulp, panels, furniture and shoots. The new codes will take effect in 2007 and will have a profound long-term effect on bamboo statistics and the facilitation of bamboo trade and development (Annex 5).

Main Funds and organization relative with project The World Bamboo Organization is a diverse group consisting of individual people, commercial businesses, non-profit associations, institutions, and allied trade corporations that all share a common interest = BAMBOO. The purpose of the WBO is to improve and promote this common interest, as well as the conditions affecting, and the industry surrounding, this common interest. We are dedicated to promoting the use of bamboo and bamboo products for the sake of the environment and economy.

ZSL and the Elephant Conservation Network (ECN) have been working together in Salakpra Wildlife Sanctuary in western Thailand for many years, with the support of Thailand’s Department of Nature Conservation. Together we are tackling the human-elephant conflict that threatens lives and livelihoods, helping to restore and protect the forest ecosystem, and enabling local villagers to develop sustainable occupations that do not harm the forest

Thai elephants research and conservation Fund. A mission that includes many programs which is operating continuously. Process to enhance participation of Thai society in the protection and conservation of Thai elephants. Animal symbols are partners in Thailand to Thai society forever

The Elephant Conservation Network Working with wild elephants and their surrounding human communities in and around the Salakpra Elephant Ecosystem to minimise Human Elephant Conflict through the protection and eventual establishment of elephant corridors, crop protection trials, monitoring of crop raiding events as well as working with the local communities to establish land use patterns, work on community education and on finding/suggesting alternative forms of income for those who formerly relied on the forest. www.ecn-thailand.org 100% of your contribution to FOC for The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation is sent directly to the project, and each donation from U.S. donors is fully tax-deductible. A U.S.-based, international organization, Friends of Conservation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation under Section 501(c )(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; the tax identification number is: 36-3561971.

By volunteering at the elephant care centre you will make a major contribution to elephant welfare in Thailand, you will have the opportunity to help the centre care for elephants whilst working alongside professional mahouts (elephant keepers).

The centre we work with would not be able to run without the hard work of the volunteers and their financial support. It is through the volunteer fees that the centre is able to provide an alternative life for the elephants (and the mahouts).

4.1 Local and Financial Context

Design Realisation Report Unit 22 Xiaoying Lin

Due to the culture and financial background of Thailand, There are plenty of finance supportings that related with my project.

Firstly the material I chose ( bamboo), has the large resource area in Thailand, Bamboo even as the important export financial part in the Thailand financial market.

Secondly the elephants, the national organizations and Local charities all put a great attention on the Asian elephants.

Bangkok, Thailand,2050

The Bangkok Comprehensive Planning policy 2006 - Enacted on May 2006.

- Master Plan covered total area of Bangkok - Under the Town Planning Act of 1975 - Implemented for 5 years (2006 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2011) According to the Plan: - Land-use must be conformed to the Master Plan - Existing Land-use are not effected by the Master Plan - Land-use which were not conformed to the Plan could not be expanded.

The related policy 1. To conserve the historical and cultural heritages and to maintain the national identity.

2. To preserve valuable national and environmental resources in order to improve the quality of life.

3. To create knowledge based economy with centers of administration and communication.

4. To improve the city's accessibility by improving an efficient mass transit system.

5. To Conserve the open space, retention ponds, public park 6. To plan more efficient land use to accommodate future growth.

7. To use as the Bangkok Metropolis development direction and urban and related areas or rural conservation and preservation in term of the asset management, transportation, public utilities, public services and environment to be in line with urban development system in other zones in the National Economy and Society Plan.

8. To Control of the height, size, and use of the buildings in the CBD of Bangkok

Environmental Policies in Thailand 2011 Recent pollution control measures are started to implement as follows: - Alternative fuel such as natural gas, LPG, electricity, bio-diesel, ethanol - Public campaign, such as car pool, car-free-day, walking street -Tax penalty and incentive for promoting the use of cleaner vehicles and cleaner fuel - Controlling the use of used engines - Special inspection and maintenance for bus fleet 3. Pollution control measures The government has been attempting in respond to the environmental problems, in which several effective pollution control measures were initiated. The measures aim not only at exhaust gas emission controls but also at the improvement of fuel and vehicle specifications, implementation of in-use vehicle inspection and maintenance program, mass transit systems, and traffic management. The measures directed toward reducing vehicle emissions include: 3.1 Fuel reformulation The fuel reformulation is separated into two types, gasoline and diesel. Automotive gasoline reformulation The ways of gasoline reformulation are implemented as follows: - Leaded gasoline has been no longer available in Thailand since January 1, 1996.

- The benzene content is limited less than 3.5 percent by volume.

- The aromatic content is set to be lower than 35 percent by volume.

3.2 Control of vehicle emissions Controls of CO and NOX from gasoline vehicles are performed through the use of catalytic converters. After January 1, 1993, all cars having engine sized greater than 1600 cc must be installed catalytic converters. The cars with engine sized smaller than 1600 cc are required to install catalytic converters after June 1, 1993.

3.3 Emission standard Emission standard for new vehicles in Thailand had been established since 1995.

The main part of vehicle emission standards, excepted motorcycle, is adopted from the European Union standard.

3.6 Traffic management and VKT reduction To increase traffic speed in Bangkok and reduce vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT), the specific measures are implemented as follows: - Two mass rapid transit systems, i.e. an elevated sky-train system and a subway system - Bus system reform - Extension of road network and expressway - Automatic area traffic control - Parking restriction on major streets - Flexible working hours - Strict enforcement of traffic regulation - Bus lane - Reversible lane

4.2 Local Planning Policy

The plan properties The Bangkok Comprehensive Plan consists of 3 plans, which are 1. The land use plan is divided the land use in the Bangkok Comprehensive Plan into categories by using color as a legend and having a regulation control in each area, and each color in the area shows how to use land. It also has a number control in the small areas for convenient uses.

2. The transportation system plan is set to solve the traffic problems in order to promote Bangkok towards the new economic development center. The three new infrastructure developments are the expressway system, public mass transportation and public medium transportation. It also the constructions of main roads and sub routes, which helps to stimulate the potential of new development systematically and leads beyond the development trends.

3. The open space plan is for recreation and environment conservation. This plan was announced after the land use plan and the transportation plan by having a policy to promote, renovate, restore and conserve the urban environment along with the cultural identities. The open space plan has 2 categories as follows: 3.1 The open space for recreation and the environmental conservation 3.2 The open space for the flood prevention

Planning Measurement Roles - Land use Regulations have important role on building control and development, - City plan is a guideline of city growing directions, - Encourage infrastructure networks which related to land use and economic activities, - Control urban developments in the areas which lack of infrastructure and public welfares.

Planning measurements for the implementation of the Plan - Regulated of some activities which are strictly prohibited, allowed, and allowed with condition.

- Density control by definite of the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) and the minimum openspace ratio (OSR).

- Set back open space along main canals and main roads.

- Control of building height and size.

- Regulate some industry list.

- Incentive to investment by the bonus system for some buildings.

Relating laws to the development in Bangkok 1. Town Planning Act 1985 - Ministerial Regulation of Comprehensive Plan - Ministerial Regulation of Specific Plan 2. Building Control Act 1997 3. Bangkok By-Laws, which control the building construction, rectification, and building use change.

4. Other related laws, i.e., Public Health Act, Factory Act, Land Act, Land Subdivision Act, Environmental Act, etc.

The master plan of Bangkok green area It is used as a framework in following the urban environment policy particularly the procurement, construction and development of the public park. This leads to the sustainable development and brings the potential of open spaces such as canal, river, reservoir, basin and undeveloped areas to be developed systematically and integrated with the urban community infrastructures, and etc. These contain of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Master Plan of Bangkok Green Areaâ&#x20AC;? for a long term (25 years) and short term (5 years) and yearly plan in term of action plan of Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.

Missions 1. Plans to develop polycentric city by the existing center of business developments are located in the heart of the city and community centers are scattered around outskirt areas.

2. Preserves and conserves cultural heritages in the areas around and nearby Rattanakosin Island.

3. Sets up the land use schemes to be ready for the future public transportation networks, public utilities and infrastructure in and nearby public transportation station.

4. Sets up the special development areas to be ready for the coming center of business development in the areas, where the travel are highly convenient such as Jangwattana Government Center, Bansue Commerce Center, Rama III Special Development Area, etc.

5. Adjusts the traveling expediency.

6. Promotes the urban environment.

7. Promotes the balance between workplaces and residential zones.

8. The major developments are inside the outer ring road frame.

9. It is necessary to keep and preserve the rural and agricultural areas in the Eastern side to be used in delaying and preventing the flood in Bangkok Metropolis. Nowadays, they have been developed about 20 percent. For the Western Side is very close to the city center. After the rural and agricultural areas preservation project was implemented, it helps to drain water from Thonburi. Today, it is a good living areas with clean environment and close to the city, so it should be preserved continually to be good residential areas inner the city.

Bangkok, Thailand,2050

Asian Elephant Space regulation and Breeding Requirement Holding elephants must hold a minimum of three females (or the space to hold three females), two males or three elephants of mixed gender In most cases where an institution has one remaining elephant, the remaining elephant will receive a recommendation for relocation at another AZA institution from the Elephant TAG/SSP. All elephants must be visually inspected on a daily basis The elephant team must work closely with the veterinary and nutrition teams o balance medical and nutritional requirements with behavioral components and activity levels for each elephant.

A recommended minimum height of walls, cables and horizontal railings for adult elephants is 8 ft (2.4 m).Recommended materials for barriers include solid concrete, rock walls or horizontal steel rails, pipe or cable.

Minimum recommended stall space (i.e. temporary holding, overnight, etc) is not less than 600 sq ft (56 sq m) for males or females with calves, and not less than 400 sq ft (37 sq m) for females.

Minimum inter-individual distances that will influence size of space Standard: There are no standards for minimum inter-individual distances that will influence size of space at this time.

Facility must have sufficient structures for all elephants to participate in all ranges of natural behaviors. Elephants are a social species and herds often perform activities together, such as feeding, drinking, walking, resting, and wallowing.

It is recommended that pools be constructed with rounded edges, and without corners. Artificial pools should have either multiple or lengthy gently sloping exit and entrance areas, with non-slip surfaces, and at an angle no greater than 30° Recommended minimum size for outdoor habitats is not less than 5400 sq ft (500 sq m) per elephant using the habitat.

A varied terrain provides more complexity in the environment as well as exercise opportunities, such as walking, turning, reaching, stretching, climbing, bending, digging, pushing, pulling, and lifting. Providing a variety of soft substrates will promote behaviors such as foraging, wallowing, bathing, digging, and resting.

Breeding facilities must have a birth protocol in place, which provides for care of the mother during pregnancy and parturition and safety of the calf immediately after birth.

Measurement: Birth protocol is reviewed.

Explanation: In order to avoid incidents of calf injury or unsuccessful births due to lack of a plan or lack or preparedness, a detailed birth protocol must be written for all pregnant elephants. For first time mothers, this protocol must include the ability to restrain the mother AZA Standards for Elephant Management and Care, March 2011 Page 25 and retrieve the calf at parturition if necessary.

The protocol must include methods of care of the mother in case of birth complications requiring veterinary intervention. There are several excellent birth protocols available from successful breeding institutions. The Elephant Husbandry Resource Guide is also a valuable reference for developing the institutional birth protocol.

First time mothers in particular may require significant management. Initial protection of the calf and control of the mother are critical to a successful birth. Introduction of the new calves and mothers to the herd must be accomplished both cautiously and expeditiously. Reintroduction of the calves and mothers to the natal group or herd should be accomplished as quickly as possible.

Every institution should institute a program to educate zoo visitors about elephant and elephant conservation issues (EMA 1999, Hutchins and Smith, 2000).

Measurement: Records of elephant education program should be reviewed.

Explanation: Assistance is available from the Elephant TAG/SSP Education Advisor.

Every institution should have up-to-date educational graphics and/or information about elephants on display to the public.

Institutions must have the ability to manage introductions and separations of elephants, including; a new female to an existing herd, females to males for breeding, calves to their mothers, and calves and mothers to the herd.

An institution’s foot care protocol should include daily cleaning and inspection of all elephants’ feet.

Every institution must have a browse program/protocol as a part of their elephant management program.

If males are housed, separate facilities for isolation must be available, and a program of social contact in place Isolation facilities for birth and postpartum management must be available Outdoor habitat surfaces must consist primarily of natural substrates (e.g., soil, sand, grass) that provide good drainage.

Enclosures must be made up of a combination of hard substrates and soft substrates. Providing a variety of soft substrates will promote behaviors, such as foraging, wallowing, bathing, digging, and resting. The use of both wet and dry wallows is encouraged to assist with skin care and protection against the sun and biting insects.

Elephants can lie on mounds of earth. Providing a combination of hard substrates to promote normal wear of footpads and soft substrates, such as earth and sand, to promote dust bathing is preferred.

4.3 Elephant Breeding regulation and case study

Thailand possesses an estimated 1000-1500 wild individuals, most of which occur in protected areasHowever, contrary to most other countries, Thailand holds a higher number of captive individuals than wild ones, the former comprising approximately 60% of the total population Many Thai experts believe the number of wild elephants to be very much lower than the figures quoted above and some put the total number at below 1,000.

In the past, Thailand’s forests teemed with a vast wild population estimated at the beginning of the 20th century to be in excess of 300,000 with a further 100,000 domesticated elephants.

Elephant Breeding Program

The National Elephant Institute ((NEI)

ELEPHANT CO-OPERATIVE ORGANIZATION

Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) The Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC), founded in 1993 under Royal Patronage, cares for more than 50 Asian elephants in a beautiful forest conveniently located near the famous city of Chiang Mai. Beyond being an exciting tourist experience, the TECC is also known for its pioneering work in conservation and science. The TECC also proudly houses six of HM King Bhumibol's ten white elephants in the Royal Elephant Stables.

As Thailand's only government-owned elephant camp, the TECC promotes affordability and accessibility.

Active in Conservation, the TECC operates an onsite Hospital and manages Thailand's first mobile clinic, treating needy elephants free of charge. The TECC has an excellent natural breeding rate, usually producing at least two baby elephants a year.

The TECC is operated by the Forest Industry Organization, a State Enterprise of the government of Thailand. It houses the National Elephant Institute of Thailand, a center of learning which shares its vast library and trained specialists with other agencies and organizations working to help the country's 2,700 domesticated elephants.

Reproduction Program Reproduction is a key area of research for the TECC. After years of effort, in 2007 our veterinary team, working with many Thai and overseas associates, produced the world's first calf born of Artificial Insemination (A.I.) outside of Europe or the USA. The handsome calf, fittingly nicknamed "A.I.", was conceived by a female named Mae Khot with semen from a handsome tusker, Chapati. Now boasting a royally bestowed name, Sompob, he is a very healthy 4-year old who performs in the daily show and participates in the Homestay program. The TECC's veterinarians also collaborated in several important scientific papers on genetics, the body chemistry of female elephants, and related subjects.

Once a package of information is complete the work is tendered to a number of possible contractors. The tenders come back and a contractor is appointed by the Client. It is common that the most competitive tender is accepted.

This method of procurement means the contractor is responsible for design as well as construction.

Design and construction integrated into a single contractual agreement

Client can modify design and requirements during construction. Managing contractor can adjust programme and costs.

Design and construction skills integrated at and early stage. This allows for an early start on site.

Advantage: Because this method is design led the resultant building is usually of high quality.

There is cost certainty before construction begins.

Advantage: Guaranteed cost and completion date.

Disadvantage: The control of quality lies solely with the contractor and therefore often suffers. Very little flexibility to change design or requirements.

Disadvantage:The tendering process can take a long time There is no possibility from contractor or suppliers to reduce costs/time.

Variations can cause difficulties, which can lead to problems within the construction team.

Advantage: Because construction can start immediately with detailed design being provided at the required stages of construction, this method is fast. Also there is a high level of flexibility with the ability for the Client to modify the design during the construction process.

Disadvantage: This method is high risk, and the risk is lies mainly with the client. Cost is difficult to control due to there being numerous contracts and no fixed sum.

The Traditional Procurement method offers the greatest assurance of a high quality building that performs as required. Although the process of producing tender packages and appointing a Contractor may take a long time, this process enables the client to establish a reasonable prediction of cost, construction time and most importantly, ensure quality.

Considering these important factors it is easy to immediately dismiss a Design & Build procurement method as the control of quality and selection of Specialists/Subcontractors lies completely with the Contractor.

The Management Procurement Method offers the advantage of a quick construction time, but due to specific construction information only being provided when it is required during construction there is significant risk to the client that integration of building elements become problematic. This is likely to result in spiralling costs.

The principal features are the integration of building design and construction under one single responsibility. It can cover a wide range of services and is also known as (with variants) package deal, turnkey, single responsibility or system build.

It is in both the Client’s and the Contractor’s interest to appoint an independent consultancy team of Architect, Quantity Surveyor, and/or Project Manager to establish and develop the brief, monitor the tendering procedure, inspect the work as it proceeds and authorise payments, but – all design responsibility must be left to the Contractor.

2. Detail and Build (also called Develop and Construct) This is a variation of the former procedure. The client’s consultants prepare the design up to about Scheme Design Stage and obtain outline or detailed planning consent from the Local Authority.

Contractors prepare a tender based upon this information and all the subsequent detail design resolution is the contractor's responsibility.

Often the original design team is transferred ("novated") to the successful contractor to carry out the final working drawings but this can lead to conflict of loyalities.

3. Design and Manage This is a procedure which combines design and build with management contracts.

Instead of tendering a price for the building work, contractors compete for a fee to manage the development and assume responsibility for the design team and the trade contractors.

4. Design, build, finance and operate In addition to the responsibilities for design and build, the contractor undertakes to raise the necessary capital to finance the project and operate it over a given number of years. The contractor would be paid on a monthly or other agreed time basis when the client takes occupation of the building.

The contractual relationship between the Client and Architect is established using a standard form of appointment outlined by RIBA. This sets out the scope of work to be undertaken by the architect (up to which work-stage), fee details and payment structure, details inclusions and additional costs, and the liabilities and duties of both architect and client.

The client then enters into contractual agreements with the Consultants, Engineers and Main Contractor, who then appoints specified Sub-Contractors.

Bangkok, Thailand,2050

Clients The customer for construction who may be an individual, a group, a company or a public organisation. The Client will be the final owner of the completed building. The Client is responsible for the appointment of the architect and Main Contractor.

In my project, the Elephant Embassy is hold by the govenment or the cooperative organization.

Communication before the contractor is appointed

Communication when the contractor is appointed

Contractor Employed by the Main Contractor the Sub Contractor are responsible for different areas of the design and construction.

Employed Directly by the o-operative, the Contractor is responsible to a greater or lesser extent for the design, as well as for carrying out the work and may appoint its own consultants. The arrangement may be for total design and construction, or for design development and production information based on a scheme design supplied by the client’s consultants.

The role of the lead contracto will include: A) Onsite production of building: - project overseer, B) Fitting of non specialist parts arriving on site, C) Co – ordinating supply of parts from sub contractors, D) Co – ordinating Just in Time (JIT) production and delivery strategy of parts to site., The Main Contractor will employ sub consultants to carry our specialist services

Consultants The role of the consultant will be to input into identified critical success factors within the framework ofbudget, programme, and most importantly into the triangular relationship of quality, cost and time.

The Client may need to appoint consultants to advise on his/her design requirements and costs, if the client does not have this expertise available in-house.

Consultants on the project might be: - Elephant Geneticists - Natural Conservation manager - Zoo manager - Botanist - Forestry Commission - CDM co – ordinator - Structural engineer - Project manager - Quantity surveyor (QS) - Mechanical services engineer - Acoustic Engineer - Access consultant and could be opened up to a wide variety of individuals depending on the nature of the project. Again this will depend a lot on the type of contractural relationship with the client.

Supplies An individual or organisation employed by the main contractor to supply (and sometimes design) materials, goods or components for the project. The supplier may be selected (nominated or named) by the client or chosen by the contractor.

Suppliers will be the responsibility of the specialist sub Consultants, agreed with the architects and engineers. A contract requirement will be that supplier are sourced locally to reduce environmental impact.

The Architects Practice Initially employed by the Client the architect acts as the coordinator integrating the work of designers and specialists into the overall scheme.

The practice will generally take the role of client advisor , check all design team appointments, and ultimately may exclude persons from the work.

The Architect (depending on contract type) may advise on the choosing of: - Adviser - Reoresentation - CDM co – ordinator - Structural engineer - Project manager The architect will lay out in clear terms fee structure up to tender to the client, identify project objectives, timescale, and quality positioning.

A requirement at tender by the client will request that the same architecture practice be kept on by the contractor to produce the detail designs this will ensure that the key design principles are fulfilled

-All workers to wear hard hats at all times on site.

-Nets to be erected to catch falling objects when there is a risk of workers below being injured by falling objects.

-Re bar safety caps will be used. These are brightly coloured to ensure high visibility on site. These are placed over the exposed, protruding ends of the re bars to blunt them to prevent a falling worker been impaled on the exposed bar.

-Workers will be trained in how to carry re bars around site.

-The excavation area will be fenced off using high visability tape.

-Only workers with the correct level of training will be allowed to operate excavation machinery.

-Materials and equipment will be stored a safe distance away from the excavated area. (Minimum 1.5m) -Temporary supports will be used to support the excavated area until the concrete retaining wall is poured. This will minimise the risk of collapse.

-Ladders will be located at several points to allow quick escape should the excavation supports fail.

‘Pure and Particular Risk’ Insurance will be take out by the contractor and the client against injury to persons or damage to property due to: • Fire • Storm • Water damage • Collapse • Subsidence • Vibration Fundamental Risk Fundamental Risks include such risks as: • The outbreak of war • Nuclear pollution • Supersonic bangs These risks are subject to statuary liability and no insurance is required.

Unforeseen potential risks Unforeseen potential risks include loss in time or money due to factors such as: • Adverse weather conditions • Unexpected ground conditions • Unforeseeable shortages of labour • Unforeseeable shortages of materials These will be decided by the parties to the contract in advice. As the procurement method will be a design and build contract, it is likely that the contractor will bare the responsibilities of these risks.

4.6 Risk Management and Health and Safety

CDM A CDM coordinator will be appointed early on in the design process and be involved throughout the design and construction to advise on health and safety and risk management matters to ensure that the project complies with CDM Regulations. (See diagram left and Health and Safety Section 1). Despite the early appointment of a CDM coordinator there will always be some risk associated with the project. Below highlights these potential risks and the measures that will be put in place to deal with them.

The appropriate CDM regulations will apply as supplied by the CDM co-ordinator. The CDM co - ordinator should theoretically be the first person appointed to the works, and will be responsible for health and safety in construction. However the project manager will take a role in ensuring health and safety in design.

During the procurement of a building there are a range of potential risks for all parties involved. The choice of procurement route and subsequent contractual relationship between these parties decides the allocation of this risk. For example, the risk is almost entirely with the Main Contractor in a Design And Build Method contract, and conversely entirely with the Client in a Management Contract.

Safety Cutting Technical

The cuttings should have one or two nodal segments. For single node propagation, culms about 40 cm long with a node in the middle are used as explants.

Do cutting on clum

Don't cutting the node, it will broke the bamboo

Bending Safety

When Bending Bamboo into curve line, using HEAT Testing in workshop. using heat gun, heating bamboo for about 1 min. As bamboo getting hot, try to bend it very slow.

It should be very careful and slow, otherwise it would be broken easily.

Wearing gloves and do not touch the heat gun by hands.

After heating the bamboo, bending with gloves.

Workshop Testing

The Safety connection way Bamboo â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Concrete â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steel Conncection Process 1. Not use the way that knocking the hardware into the top of the bamboo tube.

2. Fix the cramp or steel wire on the ends of the bamboo tube before grouting 3. The hardware must be knocked in the middle of the surface 4. The ends should be make a plane 5. The depth of grouting must according to the drawing.

6. Concrete has to be absolutely fitting with no shrink and no air-bubbles 7. The nuts that are welded on the steel need to be more

Using steel clips to reforce The bamboo crack Needs to be change immediately

The steel plate is becoming weak Needs to be notice The bolt crashed with the steel plate Needs to be adjust

The concrete inside made the bamboo crack Needs to be maintanced

The Nut is loose Needs to be adjust, it causes safety problem

The quality is very low, the strength is very weak.

Needs to be replaced

Risks and Hazards Fire: The fire resistance of green bamboo is also very good because of the high content of silicate acid. Filled up with water, it can withstand a temperature of 400째C while the water cooks inside. In the rare event fire does occur in a bamboo plantation, it can recover and continue shoot growth and development, after all, bamboo survived the Hiroshima atomic blast closer to ground zero than any other living thing and provided the first re-greening in Hiroshima after the blast in 1945.

Hurricanes: Bamboo plantations stay largely in tact. Its tremendous strength, flexibility and large underground root system make bamboo an excellent wind break.

Animals: A bamboo plantation should be fenced at all time to prevent entry of browsing stray animals like cattle, carabao, and goat, which may feed on young shoots and leaves. These also trample and damage the plants. Rodents also feed on emerging shoots and bore holes on the young culms. If these rodents are not controlled, the damage to the plantation becomes serious, thus reducing the production of poles.

Pests: Insects and fungal diseases may also occur on a bamboo plantation, however very few of these pests and diseases has ever caused a serious problem in nurseries, plantations, or natural stands.

Theft: There is obviously a bigger risk of theft at bamboo plantations than at teak plantations due to the smaller size and much lighter weight of bamboo.

4.6 Risk Management and Health and Safety Bamboo structrue needs to be checked and maintainced frequentely, especially with elephant condition The bamboo cracks would cause the big danger of building construction.

The risk and hazards that bamboo material has, should be think carefully in construction process.
