Pre-Mobilization Site Logistics Plan SOP

Standard operating procedure for planning and documenting site access, laydown areas, crane locations, and traffic flow before crew mobilization to support safe, efficient project startup.

Steps

• Confirm the project scope and mobilization date
  The Project Manager verifies that the project scope document and mobilization date are confirmed in writing.
• Review the latest site plan and access constraints
  The Site Engineer reviews the latest site plan, confirms the revision date, and verifies current access constraints against site survey notes.
• Identify site access routes for vehicles and deliveries
  The Logistics Coordinator marks primary and secondary access routes on the site plan and verifies that each route supports delivery truck turning, service vehicle access, and emergency access.
• Define laydown and staging areas
  The Site Superintendent identifies laydown, staging, and material storage areas on the plan and verifies that each area has clear boundaries, access requirements, and no conflict with emergency egress or crane swing radius.
• Locate crane and lifting equipment positions
  The Lift Planner identifies crane setup locations on the site plan and verifies ground bearing capacity, overhead obstructions, exclusion zones, and swing radius against the lift plan requirements.
• Map traffic flow and pedestrian separation
  The Logistics Coordinator maps vehicle routes, pedestrian walkways, and crossing points on the plan and verifies that separation controls, one-way movement, and crossing controls are clearly defined.
• Check for hazards, constraints, and permit requirements
  The Competent Person reviews the site hazard register, checks for underground utilities, overhead power lines, unstable ground, and restricted zones, and verifies permit-to-work requirements before mobilization.
• Document the logistics plan and distribute it to stakeholders
  The Project Manager finalizes the logistics plan, records the current revision, and distributes it to the project team, site leadership, and affected subcontractors using the controlled distribution list.
• Obtain stakeholder review and resolve deviations
  The Project Manager collects stakeholder feedback, compares comments against the current logistics plan, and verifies whether any deviation requires revision or escalation before approval.
• Archive the approved plan as controlled documented information
  The Document Controller uploads the approved logistics plan to the document control system and verifies that the final version is stored as controlled documented information and available for mobilization use.
