Re build of an old one and a half bricks thick. (imperial) (PIC 5)

Re-build of a one and half brick thick arch in Gloucester. The arch was re-built using imperial brick and hydraulic lime mortar (nhl 2:5). I first had to remove the old arch four to five bricks at a time with a kangoo and rebuild in situ as not to compromise the structural integraty of the building. Precautions had to be taken to protect the surrounding areas as there was a possibility of broken bricks falling through the scaffold. hazard signs were put up and an exclusion zone set up to restrict immediate acess. the area below was also sheeted to minimize damage and to keep the area clean. I covered the bricks with plastic sheeting whilst on the scaffold to protect them from rain and frost. All tools required for the job were signed out from a secure site container and returned a resighned back in at the end of the day. The arch former was made on site to suit the old arch and supported using acro props. It was made from ply board and cut using a battery operated jigsaw.
 The joints within the new work was also packed with slate for extra strength. All existing joints in the area were raked out with a 110v 115mm grinder, pressure washed to remove excess dust and repointed using a flush tuck pointing style in lime mortar. Any additional failing bricks were also replaced in an english bond including the springers, reveals and brickwork directly over the arch.
The work was completed in accordance with the technical drawings and method statement provided the risk assessment was also adhered too. additional PPE was required to complete the task including ear deffenders, high impact goggles and a dust respirator as wella sthe standard hard hat, high vis vest, steel toe capped boots and gloves. Ther was also a requirment to cover the arch and any areas of pointing with damp hessian so the lime was able to cure.
All waste was skipped daily in the relevant skips and the work area thouroughly cleaned after each day and on completion of the task.
On completion of the craft the walls were acid cleaned.
The timescale for the job was 3 days (1 week before removing arch former) and was completed on time.
