1 Executive Summary

This report presents options to provide a compliant step free access route to all usable platforms at Iver Station. Viable solutions have been evaluated with respect to all relevant disciplines to determine the most suitable option. Platforms 1 and 2 do not serve stopping trains during normal operations, however, a step free access route will be provided to these platforms for potential perturbed operations. At present all passengers arrive at Iver via Wellesley Avenue to the south of the station. From the pavement level, there are steps up to an existing footbridge and steps down to each of the platforms. The preferred solution at this station is the installation of a new horizontal walkway from Wellesley Avenue pavement, west of the station building, to meet a new ramp up to the existing footbridge. Access to platforms 2/3 and 4 will be provided by removing the parapet panels opposite the existing stairs and installing new lifts. In addition, a ramp will be installed from the new walkway down to platform 1 with one half turn which will be closed during normal operations. There are no major issues or abnormal risks anticipated with the construction project. The estimated construction cost is

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

The basic requirements of an accessible route are that it shall be:-  step free and/or have ramps of restricted gradient and length  meet requirements for minimum width  have appropriate non slip finishes  have adequate signage  be lit to appropriate levels  be free of constraints and obstacles This study does not address the provision or suitability of other facilities at the station for persons of reduced mobility, beyond the basic provision of the accessible route. Items such as ticket sales facilities, waiting provision and customer information systems etc. are not considered in any detail and are not assessed for compliance with the relevant requirements. 2.1 Selected Option The preferred option for this station is the installation of lifts to the rear of the existing footbridge on platforms 2/3 and 4. A new ramp will provide access from the pavement of Wellesley Avenue to the deck level of the existing footbridge so as to bypass the existing steps adjacent to the ticket office. In addition, a ramp is proposed down to platform 1 from pavement level. From a visual inspection there are no anticipated structural issues with modifying the existing footbridge or installing the proposed lifts and ramps. These works can be carried out with sensitivity to the existing structures, thus there are no significant planning or aesthetic issues expected. In addition, the selected option does not pose any significant issues for signal sighting as there will be no new obstructions to sight lines. There is adequate space on platforms 2/3 and 4 to accommodate standard 16 person lifts with associated free standing lift motor rooms. It is anticipated that the lift shafts will be clad in masonry at the lower level, with profiled metal sheet cladding above. The lift shafts and pits will probably be founded on piles, whilst the ramp to platform 1 will be constructed on shallow foundations or piles in the existing embankment. Following our desk study, there are no anticipated geotechnical issues with excavation or new foundations at the station however further investigation is required prior the next phase of design. There will be works required to upgrade the existing electrical supply and distribution systems at the station, including some re-design of other proposed Crossrail station enhancement works which have not yet been constructed. In addition, the telecommunications and lighting system enhancement will need to be integrated with the existing footbridge. Minor enhancements to retained access routes may include resurfacing to achieve a suitably level and slip resistant finish. At present we have not received any information regarding overhead line electrification of Iver Station other than basic OLE post locations. This interface should be addressed at the next stage of design. Areas for temporary site facilities and access for construction equipment are limited at Iver Station. It is proposed that a compound area be erected south of the station building for a site office and welfare facilities. A larger potential compound area for storage of materials and equipment has been identified north of the railway lines to the west of the station. The outline costings for the selected option have been included in section 2.7.

2.1.1 Station Access

Access to the station building adjacent to platform 1 is solely via Wellesley Avenue to the south of the station. There are no steps to the existing ticket window, although the adjacent shallow roadside kerb will need to be dropped locally to create step free access for disabled persons arriving by road. As there are no disabled persons parking spaces, a drop-off point will need to be established on the road in the vicinity of the ticket office and the new access ramp.

2.1.2 Platform Access

At present the platforms can only be accessed via a footbridge from Wellesley Avenue to the south of the railway, there being 8 steps up onto the main footbridge from the station entrance, a total rise of approximately 1.2m. From the footbridge there are 28 steps down to each platform, with the platform level approximately 4.8m below footbridge deck level. It is proposed that a ramp be constructed along the south embankment from the western side of the existing footbridge between the stairs to platform 1 and the stairs to Wellesley Avenue. This short span of the footbridge will require strengthening or replacement to accommodate the new ramp. The foot of this ramp will give level access to and from the pavement. The walking route from the pavement to the existing footbridge will be approximately 30m. Construction of this new walkway will also require a local kerb drop and re-routing of the mesh fence along the pavement approximately 23m west of the footbridge. Lifts are proposed to provide step free access from the main footbridge to platforms 2/3 and 4. These will be installed on the east side of the footbridge opposite the existing stairs with a 1500mm long, covered landing at the entrance to the lift. There is available platform footprint for a 2400mm square, 16-person lift on both platforms. For this layout, both single-entry and through-lifts are viable, with through lifts specified for this station as the preferred option. Following an evaluation of the station usage, it may be more acceptable to install smaller 8- person through lifts. The lift motor rooms can be constructed on platforms 2/3 and 4 to the east of the lift shafts. Step free access to platform 1 will be provided by a continuation of the ramp to the west of the footbridge down to platform level. The walking distance from Wellesley Avenue pavement to platform 1 will be approximately 75m. As platform 1 is not used during normal operation, a gate will be installed across the ramp to direct passengers up to the main bridge. The ramp length from pavement level to platform 1 will be approximately 68m long, with slopes of 1:14 and 12No. intermediate landings of 1.6m length. The ramp will include a half-turn (180°) landing at the west to minimise distance between the bottom of the ramp and potential boarding/alighting zones. This solution avoids installation of a lift onto platform 1 and the associated maintenance costs. In addition, the existing stairs from the main footbridge down to Wellesley Avenue and down to platform 1 can be retained.

2.2 Discarded Options

2.2.1 Viable Options

Install lifts to existing footbridge on all platforms Installation of lifts from the existing footbridge to all platforms is viable. However, a lift to platform 1 is considered excessive as this platform is unused during normal operations. In addition, the installation of a ramp to platform 1 with a walkway from Wellesley Avenue

Page 5 of 12

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

provides a simpler solution than modifying the stairs adjacent to the station building to provide step free access. Install ramps to existing footbridge It is feasible that ramps could be installed to the existing footbridge on all platforms, relocating the existing stairs to the east side of the footbridge. One advantage of this option is the reduced maintenance costs in comparison with installation of lifts. Although there is adequate length and width for ramps on platforms 2/3 and 4, there is not enough available width for 180° half turns. The implications of this are that ramps to platforms 2/3 and 4 would be 93m long with exits at the far west end of the platforms, thus this option was considered impractical. Replacement footbridge at existing location with lifts It is viable that the footbridge could be replaced with a new footbridge with step-free access. This option was discarded as the existing footbridge appears to be structurally adequate and can be modified to provide step free access. In addition, if the existing footbridge were to be replaced, a temporary footbridge would be required, increasing the construction costs. New footbridge with lifts It is viable that an additional footbridge could be installed at the west end of the platforms. However, this would appear excessive as the existing bridge is suitable for modification. Replacement footbridge at existing location with ramps A replacement footbridge could be built at the existing location with ramps to the platforms. However, this does not pose any significant benefits in comparison with use of the existing footbridge.

2.3 Constructability Assessment

Access to all platforms via the existing footbridge will be retained during construction. To add the lifts to the existing bridge on platforms 2/3 and 4, the parapet panels opposite the stairs will need to be removed and services re-routed. From a visual inspection there are no anticipated issues with the proposed modifications of the existing structure. Excavation will be required for the new ramp on platform 1 and the new lift pits on platforms 2/3 and 4. It is anticipated that the ramp could be constructed using shallow foundations, whereas the lifts are likely to be piled foundations. The embankment stability is to be confirmed following a geotechnical investigation at the next stage of works. Proximity to the tracks will need to be reviewed. Local Adjustment of fatality fence position may be required on the island platform. The proposed works will need to be resolved with other Crossrail station enhancement works. For Iver Station there are other proposed works outlined in the Form A – Civils GRIP 4 Design report. Buried services are outlined in drawings WSN1B-ECV-DRG-AEA-000395 and WSN1B- ECV-DRG-AEA-000396. This indicates a potential clash between longitudinal signalling cables on platform 1, BT/Virgin cables on platform 2/3 and electric cables on all platforms. Drawing WSN1B-ECV-DRG-AEA-000395 indicates proposed power ducts and telecoms ducts along the length of all platforms. These services may need to be re-routed or diverted prior to construction of the lift shafts. In addition, this drawing specifies 0.8x0.8x0.6m shallow pad foundations for proposed CCTV columns. These proposed columns will clash with the proposed lifts on platforms 2/3 and 4 and the ramp on platform 1 and so alterations to the proposed CCTV coverage will be required.

Page 6 of 12

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

There are lighting columns on all platforms which will need to be removed to facilitate the construction of the lift shafts. On platform 1 there are 5No. lighting columns which will be relocated due to the installation of the ramp. There are also 2No. lighting columns on platform 2/3 and 1No. column on platform 4 which will clash with the proposed lift. These will be removed and replacements installed off the new lift shafts. The proposal will require coordination with OLE structures and cabling and DOO cameras. Drawing WSN1B-ECV-DRG-AEA-000351 notes that there is no existing drainage on any platform. At present it appears that the platforms fall towards the tracks. It will be necessary to consider runoff from the new lifts on platforms 2/3 and 4, potentially draining into the track drainage as there is no change in the impermeable areas. The ramp on platform 1 may need to include new drainage outlets connected to a new soakaway on this platform. Public roads run adjacent to the railway to the north and south sides of the station, providing locations for positioning cranes for use during construction. It is anticipated that the lift shafts and ramps would be prefabricated and craned into position during possessions. The reach from the adjacent roads is such that large capacity cranes would be required, necessitating traffic management works. Other construction plant and materials may also need to be craned onto the platforms during possessions, although there is a possibility of constructing a temporary access ramp from Wellesley Avenue to platform 1 adjacent to the existing vehicle access gate, and then using polystyrene track infill blocks to access the other platforms during possessions. From a visual inspection it appears the only demolition work would be the removal of the side span of the existing footbridge, to allow replacement with a structure that can accommodate the new ramp to the street. The span can be removed by crane following dismantling of bolted connections.

2.4 Access and Possession Strategy

It is anticipated that the installation of the new lifts and ramps, together with any other works that disrupt passenger access, could be carried out during weekend or other night time possessions. At this stage no check has been made as to the availability of other longer booked possessions that might achieve cost benefits through reducing the overall construction programme. No land purchase is needed for this scheme, but there may be a need to update station lease agreements. While no planning constraints are applicable, it would be expected that the Local Authority be consulted on the proposals. During the works a compound area is proposed on the pavement opposite the station entrance for site office and welfare facilities. There is no designated parking at the station; however, cars tend to park either side of the road. A compound in this area would temporarily remove several parking spaces, but access to the station building and drop off points will need to be retained. A larger compound for material storage may need to be erected away from the main station due to restricted space. One potential area has been identified 500m to the west of the station, north of the tracks. During the design stage there will be a need to consider and liaise with Network Rail and the Station Duty Holder to ensure safe platform access can be maintained during the works for passengers and staff, and that safe emergency evacuation is not compromised.

2.5 Project Schedule

There is sufficient time to undertake the design and construction of this scheme prior to the introduction of Crossrail services in 2018. There are no published dates for the completion of Crossrail works to existing stations, but we anticipate that GRIP 3 & 4 design stages (Forms F001 & F002) could be completed in 20 weeks (including outstanding surveys and investigations), GRIP 5 design (Form F003) in a further 20 weeks, and construction in 26 weeks. These durations do not allow for Crossrail authorisation periods or mobilisation periods as may be needed.

2.6 Whole Life Cost Assessment of Options

Specific details to inform whole life costings are not provided at this stage, but the new structures will have a design life of 120 years. Maintenance painting of new external steel structures will be required, whilst the lifts will require ongoing maintenance in accordance with normal Network Rail practices.

2.7 Estimates (excluding whole life costings)

The construction cost estimate is . The build up of this cost is provided in Appendix J.

2.8 QRA

A quantitative risk assessment has not yet been conducted. This should be discussed and scheduled when input from Network Rail is sought.

2.9 Risk Register

See Appendix F for an outline risk register. Key risks identified are:  Unknown ground conditions  Unidentified buried services  Interfaces with other Crossrail works  Other potential projects at the station

2.10 Assumptions

The following assumptions have been made in developing the proposals regarding any existing structures, earthworks or permanent way:  The existing station footbridge is essentially sound and maintained and does not have any hidden defects.  The ground conditions are not prohibitive to works.  The ability of the station to cater for increasing passenger numbers over time will not be compromised by the proposed scheme.  The ability of the station to perform a safe emergency evacuation will not be compromised by the proposed scheme

2.11 Signed Design Compliance Certificate

This study should include a signed Network rail DCC which should be attached as an appendix when complete.

2.12 Asset Condition Surveys / GI / Topographical

Refer to the appendices for summary details of surveys undertaken during this study.

3 Interfaces with other projects

This project will interface with other station improvements as part of Crossrail. We have received the Civils Form A for GRIP 4 design (doc ref: WSN1B-ECV-FOA-AEA-000015) which includes the following works that have not yet been completed:  New 800x800x600mm deep concrete pad foundations for telecommunications equipment on all platforms.  New buried containment on all platforms and the footbridge to support the new SISS (Station Information and Surveillance Systems)  Installation of a new SDN (Station Data Network) cabinet and relocation of the CIS/PA cabinet from Platforms 2/3 to Platform 1.  Reference to extension of all platforms at the western end of the station. Iver Form A – E&P DNO Design (doc ref: WSN1B-DEL-REP-AEA-000014) specifies an upgrade to the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) layout which includes:  A new three phase supply inside the station building  A 150mm ducted route from the supply box east along platform 1 The implications of these proposed works have been outlined in section 2.3. No detailed information has been received regarding overhead line equipment (OLE) as part of the electrification of this station. This interface will need to be considered at the next stage of design. Coordination will be required with DOO camera installations.

4 CDM Information

Refer to Appendix F for a Risk Register. No abnormal risks associated with construction have been identified. However consideration should be given to the possibility of “locked in” stresses in the existing bridge structure when planning the removal of spans or panels. Access for maintenance of the upper levels of the lift shaft cladding and the lift shaft roofs should be addressed at detailed design stage. At this time access via temporary scaffolding is perceived as a viable method during possessions.

5 Safety Verification Recommendations

Information with regards to the applicability of ROGS (Railway and Other Guided Transport Systems (Safety) Regulations) is to be provided by Network Rail. However, the following issues should be considered during the future design stages:  Signal sighting. A formal signal sighting committee should confirm the acceptability of the proposals.  At the GRIP 3 stage a strategy for ensuring compliance with the Technical Specification for Interoperability for Persons of Reduced Mobility should be established and implemented thereafter.  Implementation of appropriate systems to ensure compliance with European, British, Network Rail and Railway Group Standards.  The design should address the safe management of change in station operation, (and during construction), allowing the train operating company to undertake their Safety Management Systems appraisal without resulting in undue restrictions to station operation.

6 Consents Strategy

No formal consents from parties external to Network Rail and Crossrail have been identified for this scheme.

7 Environmental Impact Assessment

No significant environmental issues have been identified at this station. See Appendix I for details of the environmental assessment undertaken as part of this study.

8 Maintenance and Operations Strategy

This proposed lifts will need to be added to existing maintenance and operations strategy. As the station is not always manned, procedures for operation must include provision for reporting of lift failure or maintenance requirements.

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

9 Engineering Outputs

To develop this scheme in the future, a design should be progressed in accordance with the Network Rail GRIP processes. The next stage should be the development of a GRIP 3 outline design, presented under cover of a Form F001. In addition to the outline design and associated scheme drawings, the Form F001 should also include the findings of the additional investigations as set out in Appendix G.

10 Conclusion and Recommendations

This option selection report provides a solution to providing an accessible route with step free access to all platforms at Iver station. The preferred solution is to install a new horizontal walkway from Wellesley Avenue at the south of the Station with a ramp up to the existing footbridge. It is proposed that lifts be constructed to meet the east side of the bridge from platforms 2/3 and 4. Access to platform 1 will be provided via a ramp along the southern embankment to the west of the new walkway. The proposed works have been considered with respect to numerous relevant disciplines. The resulting recommendation thus provides a step free access route with minimal modification of the existing station infrastructure and reasonable maintenance costs.

Appendix B Description of accessible route

The works to Iver Station will provide a step free route to all four platforms from a new designated passenger drop off point. Passengers will arrive via Wellesley Avenue and join the pavement at the dropped kerbs by the station building. Passengers can approach the ticket office along the existing pavement, however it has been noted that Crossrail or Network Rail may be planning to replace the ticket office with ticket vending machines on the platforms. Passengers with reduced mobility will access the existing footbridge via the walkway approximately 23m west of the bridge from the Wellesley Avenue pavement. From the footbridge passengers will access platforms 2/3 and 4 via the lifts to each platform. In the event that platform 1 is brought into use, the gate can be unlocked so passengers can access the ramp west of the horizontal walkway from Wellesley Avenue.

1 INTRODUCTION

1. Project Name: Crossrail Step Free Access 2. Address/Location: Iver Railway Station 3. Project Manager: 4. The project is currently at Stage 2

2 PURPOSE

The purpose of this document is to identify potential environmental issues and risks that may arise during the design and construction of the Crossrail Step Free Access project and to ensure that actions are undertaken to manage these aspects.

3 SCOPE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Scope

This report presents a preferred option for providing a compliant step free access route to all usable platforms at Iver Station.

Description

The preferred solution at this station is the installation of a new horizontal walkway from Wellesley Avenue pavement, west of the station building, to meet a new ramp up to the existing footbridge. Access to platforms 2/3 and 4 will be provided by removing the parapet panels opposite the existing stairs and installing new lifts. In addition, a ramp will be installed from the new walkway down to platform 1 with one half turn which will be closed during normal operations.

Appendix I.2 Geotechnical Summary

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

Existing Information

General This section is a review of all existing and relevant geotechnical information available on the project.

Geological maps 1:50,000 British Geological Survey (BGS) Geological Map Sheet 269 (Windsor), Solid and Drift edition, 1981. A review of the British Geological Society (BGS) Geology of Britain viewer (http://mapapps.bgs.ac.uk/geologyofbritain/home.html) has also been carried out to review the latest geological mapping available. The geological map shows the site to be underlain by sand and gravel of the Lynch Hill Gravel Member (identified as Boyn Hill Gravel on 1981 geological map). These superficial deposits overlie the London Clay, which in turn overlies the Reading Beds of the Lambeth Group. There is also Langley Silt indicated on the map to the southeast and southwest of the site.

Historical British Geological Survey (BGS) Boreholes A review of the British Geological Society (BGS) Online Boreholes Record Database (http://www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex) has been carried out to enable a better understanding of ground conditions in the location of the site. There are many BGS boreholes located in the surrounding area, mainly concentrated along the route of the M25 approximately 350m to the east, and there are also some holes approximately 550m to the southwest. In the absence of deep holes at the station, these records provide an indication of the underlying soils to be expected below the depths of investigation completed during the GI in 2011. One BGS borehole is located approximately 320m to the east of the site near the M25 (BGS Borehole ID: TW07NW642) and was drilled in 1977. The borehole indicates 0.2m topsoil over 0.8m of gravel underlain by 1.5m of stiff silty clay (Langley Silt). Beneath the Langley Silt a thickness of 5.5m of dense gravel (Lynch Hill Gravel) overlies the London Clay encountered at a depth of 8m. The London Clay is shown to be 30m thick with the Reading Beds (Lambeth Group) encountered at a depth of 38.80m. Another BGS borehole is located approximately 500m to the north of the site within the Ridgeway Trading Estate (BGS Borehole ID: TQ08SW38) and was drilled in 1948. The borehole shows 2ft (0.6m) of Made Ground overlying 1ft 6’ (0.5m) of brown clay (Langley Silt) and 9ft 6’ (2.9m) of gravel and sand (Lynch Hill Gravel). These superficial deposits are underlain by 93ft (28m) of London Clay over 74ft (23m) of the Reading Beds (Lambeth Group). The Upper Chalk is encountered at a depth of 180ft (55m) below ground level. One further BGS borehole is located approximately 650m west of the site at the location of the historic gravel pits to the north of the railway line (BGS Borehole ID: TW07NW430) and was drilled in 1935. The borehole indicates 5ft (1.5m) of gravel and sand (Lynch Hill Gravel) overlying 80ft (24m) of London Clay over 78ft (24m) of Reading Beds (Lambeth Group). Chalk and flints is encountered below a depth of 163ft (50m).

Previous Reports and Desk Study A number of reports have been previously produced as part of civil design works at the outer stations which are to be improved as part of the Crossrail project west of London, which includes Iver Station.  Crossrail Outer West Surface Stations Geotechnical Desk Study (WSN1B-EGE-REP- ARB-61396311). (This report has not been made available for review but has been referenced in the following reports)  Crossrail West – Outer West Surface Stations: Geotechnical and Geo-Environmental Investigation Report: Document Reference WSN1B-EGE-REP-AEA-000005 A05  Crossrail West – Outer West Surface Stations: GRIP 4 Geotechnical Design Report: Document Reference WSN1B-EGE-REP-AEA-000007 A01 The GIR report contains a detailed desk study which was based primarily on the ARUP desk studies which were undertaken to inform the design of the site investigation undertaken at the western stations. Reference should be made to this report for further details.

Geotechnical Site Investigations Completed A geotechnical investigation was carried out in June 2011 and included 6 No. window sample holes and 4 No. hand dug trial pits. Of these, 3 No. window sample holes (WS803, WS807 & WS808) were carried out on the platforms (1 and 4). 2 No. window sample holes (WS805 & WS806) were drilled in the cess from ground level just to the north of platform 4. WS804 was located at track level to the west of platform 2/3. The 4 No. hand dug trial pits were all located within the footprint of platform 4, spread out along its length.

Ground Profile Based on the available ground investigation data from the holes completed during the GRIP Stage 4 ground investigation, the soils on site are expected to comprise of Made Ground overlying River Terrace Deposits (Lynch Hill Gravel) over London Clay. Historical BGS boreholes in the surrounding area encountered approximately 5m to 7m superficial deposits, a fairly consistent sequence of firm to stiff Langley Silt over dense to very dense Lynch Hill Gravel was recorded. However, since the station is predominately located within a cutting it would appear that any Langley Silt that was present was stripped from the site during construction of the railway as Langley Silt was not encountered during the 2011 investigation.

Groundwater Groundwater strikes were recorded during the investigation between 0.8m and 1.0m below track level. Two groundwater monitoring installations were installed in WS803 and WS808A. In all subsequent monitoring visits both holes were recorded to be dry, except for one reading in WS803 which recorded groundwater at 1.96m below platform level (approximately 1m below track level).

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

Rest water levels of 14.6m and 14.3m below ground level were observed in the following BGS boreholes TQ08SW38 and TQ07NW430 respectively. This potentially indicates that the groundwater strikes recorded during 2011 investigation are indicative of a perched water table within the Terrace Deposits.

Reported Characteristic Geotechnical Parameters The following characteristic soil parameters have been taken from the GRIP Stage 4 GIR.

Stratum Depth Density, γB Angle of Effective Undrained shearing Cohesion, c’ Shear resistance, φ’ Strength, cu [m bgl] [t/m3] [°] [kPa] [kPa] Made Ground GL to 1.5 1.9 28 n/a n/a (Granular) (28-30) River Terrace 0.5 to 4.0* 2.1 32 n/a n/a Deposits - (2.0-2.2) (32-40) Lynch Hill Gravels (Sands and Gravels Reworked 4.0* to 6.0 1.8 24 1 50 London Clay (24-25) (1-1.5) (40-70) (not encountered) London Clay >6.0 1.9 24 1 75 (not (24-25) (1-5) (75-190) encountered)

Source: WSN1B-EGE-REP-AEA-000005 A05 Notes: *Probing in WS805 suggests the top of the London Clay may be at 4m below track level, but the local BGS historical borehole logs suggest the stratum could be up to 9.1m below ground level. φ’ values have been derived from field recorded SPT N values and laboratory gradings.

γB values have been adopted from laboratory density testing with reference to Table 1 in BS8002:1994- Code of Practice for Earth Retaining Structures. Effective stress parameters in the London Clay have been based on available GI survey data and testing for other sites, reference to CIRIA SP200, Stroud and Butler 1975 and past project experience. Undrained shear strengths have been based on results from other sites, including results from triaxial tests, the relationship to field recorded SPT N values (Stroud 1974), and with reference to soil descriptions from the other sites where London Clay was encountered.

Appendix I.3 Electrical Summary

Ref: 317520/MMRA/WO023/0001 Version: 01 Date: 17/12/2013

Description of Services The main DNO supply, metering and main electrical distribution equipment is housed in a cubicle located at the rear of the ticket office. The main cubicle houses the main incoming 100A TP&N supply from the DNO which feeds a 4 way TPN Distribution board. This distribution board serves three single phase distribution boards also located within the cubicle, an unidentified single phase supply and a three phase supply to a feeder pillar located on platform 2/3 which serves all of the platform lighting. The platform lighting feeder pillar located on platform 2/3 will require relocating to accommodate the new lift shafts and lift machine rooms. The existing incoming DNO supply is not capable of accommodating the new lift installations and will require upgrading. The existing electrical distribution equipment comprising of the 4 way TP&N distribution board and distribution boards DB 1 , 2 & 3 will be unaffected by the works. An increased capacity DNO electricity supply and metering position will need to be established on Platform 1 along with a new 6 Way TP&N MCCB board. The new 6 way MCCB panel board will provide new electrical supplies to the proposed footbridge and lift installations, existing ticket office distribution equipment and a new supply to the relocated feeder pillar on platform 2/3. Each new lift machine room will be provided with a new 3 phase 63A electrical supply for the lift and a 63A single phase supply for the lift machine room general services distribution board. These will be fed from the new 6 way MCCB board. Existing containment routes which both feed and distribute supplies from the platform 2/3 feeder pillar follow the existing bridge structure and will need relocation to accommodate the new lift shaft. The Platform lighting and associated circuitry will need to be modified to accommodate the relocation of the existing platform lighting feeder pillar and the provision of the new ramp and lift installations.

Schedule of Works

 Relocate existing Platform 2/3 Feeder Pillars.  Provide temporary electrical supplies relocated feeder Pillar.  Reconfigure existing lighting and small power on all Platforms to suit new layout  Establish new incoming DNO position and provide new 6 Way TPN MCCB panel on Platform1  Provide new electrical supply to ticket office distribution equipment and platform 2/3 feeder pillar  Provide 2No New 3 phase electrical supplies – for each new lift from new MCCB panel.  Provide 2No new single phase supplies for new Lift Machine Room Distribution Boards from new MCCB panel.

The schedule of works does consider the other electrical works proposed by Crossrail at Iver Station, but there is need for full integration of the works as the designs are developed.

Appendix I.4 Telecommunications

TELECOMMUNICATIONS GRIP 3 OPTION DESIGN Project Title Crossrail West Stations, DDA – Iver Station Project Number 116952 CR-T Reference Number Location Iver Station ELR MLN1 Mileage 6M 19Ch (From Paddington Station) OS Grid Reference TQ037799 Structure Number N/A

Introduction

The following describes the telecommunications works envisaged to implement DDA compliant access at Iver Station. This work compliments the GRIP 4 designs referenced in AIP document no. WSN1B-ETL-FOA-AEA- 000007 Rev. A02, 3rd February 2012.

Iver Station is located approximately 14M 60 Ch from Paddington Station, between West Drayton Station and Langley Station. There are 4 platforms with Platforms 2 and 3 being an island platform.

A visual, non-intrusive survey of the station was carried out by Mott MacDonald staff on the 4th December 2013. The survey set out to capture the location of the station communications assets and the effect of the proposed DDA lift and access arrangements on the existing Crossrail GRIP 4 telecommunications design.

Existing Telecommunications Assets

CCTV

The existing CCTV system comprises:

 Control equipment (Nice Vision Pro DVR) located in an environmental communications cabinet located off Platform 1 near the footbridge. It was not possible to gain access to this cabinet at the time of the survey.  Local CCTV LV PSU’s providing LV power to the cameras  Analogue cameras distributed throughout the station, walkways and stairs and platforms

12 No. CCTV cameras are connected into a standalone Nice Vision Pro DVR system which is connected to an Application Management Server (AMS) located at Swindon. A CCTV workstation is connected to the AMS to allow selection of remote cameras for live viewing at the Great Western Control Room, Swindon.

Camera images are recorded to the Nice Vision Pro DVR and associated RAID array which has the capacity to record up to 48 cameras at 4CIF/12.5FPS. There is no existing remote access link (BT Kilostream) installed. PA

The existing PA system comprises:

 Control equipment (pre-amp, power amp, mixers, AFIL amplifiers and PA router) located in an environmental Comms cabinet on Platform 2/3. It was not possible to gain access to this cabinet at the time of the survey.  Microphone unit located in the Ticket office  Penton Sentry6/STC and Penton MHS20/TC speakers distributed throughout the station, ticket office, walkways and stairs and platforms. Platform 1 is not equipped with PA speakers or loops. Limited audio coverage is provided on Platforms 2/3 and 4.  Induction loops (AFILs) are located in the ticket office, Platforms 2/3 and 4

The existing PA utilises a single paging microphone located in the Ticket Office to make local announcements. There is no remote connection to the PA itself but there is remote access to the CIS system which is connected to the PA system and which allows remote initiation of long line live announcements. There are 2 audio channel connections from the CIS into the PA allowing two simultaneous CIS announcements. ANS are not implemented at this station.

The existing PA system is zoned as follows:

 Zone 1 – Platform 4  Zone 2 – Platform 2/3  Zone 3 – Not used  Zone 4 – Ticket Office

CIS

The existing CIS system comprises:

 CIS Control equipment co-located in the same cabinet as the PA system located in an environmental Comms cabinet on Platform 2/3. It was not possible to gain access to this cabinet at the time of the survey.  4 No. NTIs are located on the Platforms, a single sided SOD display is installed on the footbridge entrance and one SSOD is located in the Ticket Office. All displays are LED.  The FGW WAN/LAN rack is located in the Ticket Office

The CIS is connected to the FGW route control centre at Swindon via the FGW WAN. This connection provides the required train movement information to the CIS and also allows remote initiation of long line PA announcements.

PHP

The existing PHP provision is as follows:

 Solar powered, GSM-based PHPs are installed on Platforms 1 and 4.  Mains powered GSM-based PHP on Platform 2/3  All PHP’s connect directly to the GSM network and therefore there is no central equipment on the station. CMS and Cable Routes

Communications field equipment cabling run as follows:

Station building: PA/CIS cables are routed from the PA/CIS equipment cabinet located on Platform 2/3 via ducting and then up and over the footbridge via cable tray, dropping into a platform level duct on Platform 1 which runs to the station building.

CCTV Equipment Cabinet: CCTV cables are routed from the Comms Equipment Cabinet located at Platform 1 near the footbridge entrance via ducts and cable tray to the CCTV cameras at the station building and platforms.

Footbridge: The footbridge provides the cross track cable route for SISS equipment. Platform ducts at the base of each footbridge support connect into vertical cable tray risers and then across on the underside of the footbridge span.

Platform 1, 2/3 and 4: Cable ducts are provided in the platform to connect CIS displays and CCTV cameras to their respective control equipment.

Through Station Cable Routes: There are two through cable routes at Iver station. The Upside cable route runs behind the Up goods loop and is not affected by any platform. The Downside trough runs along the cess, is ducted through the length of Platform 1 and returns to the cess immediately after the platform ends.

Proposed Crossrail GRIP4 Works

The proposed Crossrail GRIP 4 design is detailed in document WSN1B-ETL-FOA-AEA-000007 Rev. A02, 3rd February 2012.

The key Crossrail works being carried out at Iver Station are as follows

 Platforms extended and lowered to accommodate 10 car Crossrail trains on Platforms 1 – 4.  To prepare the station for compatibility with Crossrail communications and control.  To provide telecommunication services to meet the operational needs of the station and station facility operator (FGW) including during the construction phase  Transfer long-line control of the CCTV and CIS/PA systems from the existing control centre in Swindon to the Romford RCC.

In summary, the proposed Crossrail telecommunications works are:

 Expanding the existing CCTV system to 43 analogue cameras to provide improved coverage to the new platform and access arrangements. The capacity of the existing Nice Vision Pro DVR is capable of handling this increase with no modification, however additional video encoder cards shall be added as well as expanding the RAID data storage array to accommodate the additional cameras  The existing CIS displays (NTIs, SOD and SSOD) shall remain at their existing locations. Additional double sided platform NTIs shall be installed at the country end of Platforms 1, 2/3 and 4. A new induction loop shall be installed at the location of the existing NTI on Platform 1.  The existing PA coverage shall be extended in the following areas: o Platform 1 shall be provided with PA coverage over its full length as Zone 3. An additional AFIL amplifier shall be installed to accommodate the new induction loop on Platform 1. o PA coverage shall be extended over the length of the new Platform 2/3 configuration o PA coverage shall be extended over the length of the new Platform 4 configuration o The DVA function will be provided by the new SMS and messaging routed through the existing spare input on the PA router.  The existing PHPs will be retained and an additional PHP shall be installed to serve the Country end of Platform 2/3. PHPs shall be configured to provide CLID to enable trigger events to be made within other systems (CCTV recording)  New SMS and Station Data Network (SDN). The GRIP 4 design provides for rack accommodation, a UPS backed power supply and structured cabling to support the SMS and station IP WAN. The Station Data Network Rack is to be provided in a new cabinet installed on a new concrete foundation located on Platform 1 in the vicinity of the existing station Ticket Office. A duct spur will be run to the nearest access chamber on the through platform duct route which will terminate in a new access chamber which will house a joint bay. From this point, a short spur will run to the new SDN base location.  A new cabinet is to be installed next to the SDN to house the new UPS  The PA/CIS cabinet on Platform2/3 is to be relocated to the same location as the new SDN.  Cable routes within the station will be modified and extended to accommodate the Crossrail works. The following is proposed: o New duct route provided for the full length of Platforms 1, 2/3 and 4 o New cable containment to be provided across the existing footbridge to accommodate the SISS cabling. Risers dropping from the footbridge will carry the cable to platform level. o New duct and access chambers to be installed to support the new location of the CIS/PA cabinet and new UPS and SDN cabinets.

DDA and Associated Works

The following describes the additional requirements for inclusion into the SISS design to incorporate the addition of the DDA works.

The DDA works will include the provision of 3 No. lifts and a reconfiguration of the walkways within the station to access the new lifts and DDA routes.

General

The numbers and location of new cameras is an estimate and will be subject to a full design review of the station camera view coverage and its compliance with NR standards and approval of all stakeholders including the BTP, NR, the TOC and Crossrail.

Subject to the number of cameras installed, the designer will need to confirm the video recording capacity, network data capacity, power supply and UPS requirements and scale the control equipment and data links appropriately.

It is noted that the Crossrail CCTV design does not include provision for a 1 hour back up UPS. This design is not compliant with current NR standards and it is proposed that the UPS is included in the DDA provision. This will also impact on the CCTV LV power distribution and cabling and should be developed as part of the final GRIP 4 reference design and implemented as part of the GRIP 5 detailed design.

The Crossrail works will remodel the platform level and length and will reconfigure the through platform duct routes. Consideration shall be given to the DDA construction works and the potential of interference with the Crossrail and existing platform through routes. Platform 4

It is proposed to install a new lift shaft dropping down from the existing footbridge to platform level at the east side of the structure. Additional telecoms requirements to enable this provision will be:

 2 No. lift car cameras  1/2 No. cameras with view at footbridge level to provide coverage of the lift door, route to lift along footbridge and top of stairs. This may require the provision of a suitable CCTV mounting post/structure to locate the cameras  Additional camera at platform level to view the lift entry.  1 No. PW PSTN for the lift intercom alarm units.  Provision in the Lift Motor Room (LMR) for camera and Intercom interface points.  Cable route and design of structured cabling between field equipment and station control equipment in CCTV cabinet.  In line with the existing GRIP 4 design, the cameras will require connection to the LV camera supply provided by LV PSUs. This may require additional provision of fused spurs provided by the electrical designer in the vicinity of the camera equipment and then distributed to the camera locations.  Re-route and protection of existing and proposed Crossrail cable tray and cables which run along the bottom of the footbridge at the lift location.

Platform 2/3

It is proposed to install a new lift shaft dropping down from the existing footbridge to platform level at the east side of the structure. Additional telecoms requirements to enable this provision will be:

 2 No. lift car cameras  1/2 No. cameras with view at footbridge level to provide coverage of the lift door, route to lift along footbridge and top of stairs. This may require the provision of a suitable CCTV mounting post/structure to locate the cameras  Additional camera at platform level to view the lift entry.  1 No. PW PSTN for the lift intercom alarm units.  Provision in the Lift Motor Room (LMR) for camera and Intercom interface points.  Cable route and design of structured cabling between field equipment and station control equipment in CCTV cabinet.  In line with the existing GRIP 4 design, the cameras will require connection to the LV camera supply provided by LV PSUs. This may require additional provision of fused spurs provided by the electrical designer in the vicinity of the camera equipment and then distributed to the camera locations.  Re-route and protection of existing and proposed Crossrail cable tray and cables which run along the bottom of the footbridge at the lift location.  Duct route between bottom of footbridge support structure to existing CIS/PA cabinet. Platform 1

It is proposed to install a DDA compliant ramp to provide access between street and platform level.

Additional telecoms requirements to enable this provision will be:

 4/5 No. cameras with view along new ramp arrangement to provide coverage of the DDA access ramp route from station entry to platform entry. This may require the provision of a suitable CCTV mounting post/structure to locate the cameras  Cable route and design of structured cabling between field equipment and station control equipment in CCTV cabinet  In line with the existing GRIP 4 design, the cameras will require connection to the LV camera supply provided by LV PSUs. This may require additional provision of fused spurs provided by the electrical designer in the vicinity of the camera equipment and then distributed to the camera locations.  Consideration has been given to providing additional PA coverage to the new ramp. The new ramp is uncovered and the station is on the boundary of a residential area. It is not considered necessary to extend the PA coverage to the new DDA ramp at this stage and this should be revisited before going to GRIP 4 design.  The following existing equipment will require relocating, removal and/or protection as it interferes with the proposed route of the ramp: o Camera 1 and its associated 10m pole and cabling o Camera 2 and its associated 10m pole and cabling o Camera 3 and its associated 10m pole and cabling o Camera 12 and its associated 6m pole, duct route and cables o SISS Comms cabinet including CCTV control equipment, CCTV LV PSU1, associated cabling and duct route. o PHP 1 and its associated solar panel and antenna o NTI 001 and its associated post and cabling o SOD 001 and its associated post and cabling o Cable routes across footbridge  The following new Crossrail GRIP 4 design elements will require relocating, removal and/or protection as it interferes with the proposed route of the ramp: o The new SDN cabinet and UPS cabinet and the CIS/PA cabinet are to be relocated by the Crossrail works to the location of the existing communications cabinet. These new cabinets, as well as the existing communications cabinet will need to be relocated to accommodate the new DDA ramp. As a minimum, this will give 4 cabinets grouped together. The AECOM SISS survey notes that the existing CCTV Comms cabinet has only 7U space available. The expansion of the CCTV to cover DDA requirements as well as Crossrail will require the CCTV control and recording equipment to be expanded to cater for a total of 58 CCTV cameras (approx.) installed at this station. Including for future-proofing this will require the CCTV Control System to be upgraded/replaced (existing system can only cater for 48 cameras), and is likely to require an additional cabinet. Subject to space availability, the option of installing a CER in an REB at Iver station should be considered to consolidate the SISS communications equipment (possibly 5 cabinets in total), providing a more secure environment for the communications equipment (e.g. vandal resistant, environmentally controlled, ease of maintenance, provision for future expansion and less of an eyesore). o New duct routes through Platform 1, 2/3 and 4 o New cable tray and routes across footbridge.

1.02 And, prepared on behalf and in consultation with;

Mott MacDonald Ltd 8-10 Sydenham Road, Croydon, Surrey. CR0 2EE.

This document has been prepared in particular consideration to the installation of two Network Rail general purpose passenger/goods lifts within new environs prepared by others to best fit the existing design and fabric of Iver Station in order to provide step free access at the station.

1.03 The lifts are designated to serve;  Platforms 2/3  Platform 4

1.04 They are to be of the same size, design and construction and operate independently of each other.

1.05 The design of the lift environs is determined by civil engineering considerations following detailed investigations of the station.

1.06 This document should therefore be read in conjunction with outlining associated works as this document relates specifically to the lift design.

1.07 The lifts proposed are principally compliant with Network Rail requirements, namely;

 NR Specification NR/SP/ELP/27228  Department for Transport Code of Practice for Station Design for Disabled People Version 3 November 2011

However, the requirements of NR/SP/ELP/27228 shall prevail where there is differences between these standards.

OUTLINE LIFT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

L3508 3 Issue 01 Iver Station: CrossRail Step-Free Access Project Installation of 2 Network Rail lifts Butler & Young Lift Consultants Ltd. Mott MacDonald Ltd.

2.00 OUTLINE LIFT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

2.01 Lift Design Rationale

The lift design is based on Network Rail minimum standards providing best practicable accessibility within a space efficient footprint.

The resultant lift design providing a 16 person 1200Kg capacity with a 1600mm square lift car with opposing doors offering ‘through’ access.

The lift car entrances will therefore be centralised with the lift car offering a 2 panel centre opening door arrangement with an 1100mm wide clear opening.

The lift entrance and lift car height will be 2100mm and 2300mm respectively.

A hydraulic type of lift drive system is selected on it merits, considering the requirement for a machine room as stated in Section 5 of NR/SP/ELP/27228.

The above allows for a twin, direct acting ram drive arrangement to be utilised thus negating the need for ropes, safety gears and overspeed governors and minimising onward maintenance liabilities.

Additionally, by driving the lift on its centre of gravity, lateral loadings acting on the building structure are also reduced to a practical minimum and therefore the design of the lift shaft can therefore be more efficient to suit.

2.02 Installation Methodology

It is assumed that the lift installation will be by traditional methods, i.e. the delivery of component parts to site and the assembly of lift equipment within the lift shaft and machine room.

This being the norm, requiring broadly the same logistical considerations as that to be employed elsewhere on the station for other aspects of the step-free access works.

Fixing points shall be incorporated within the lift shaft construction to minimise the requirement for drilling or other noisy works.

2.03 Intent of the Works

These works are part of a continuing and ongoing programme of works to provide a robust, serviceable and valued asset for the Network Rail Lift Portfolio.

The lifts shall be incorporated onto the Network Rail National Lift Maintenance Portfolio upon completion.

The lifts shall comprise of equipment of standard and generic origin, proven fit for purpose and readily available to the lift industry as a whole, thus ensuring freedom of the maintenance market and a minimum 25 year life span for all equipment.

L3508 4 Issue 01 Iver Station: CrossRail Step-Free Access Project Installation of 2 Network Rail lifts Butler & Young Lift Consultants Ltd. Mott MacDonald Ltd.

The lifts shall incorporate energy saving variable frequency drive and energy efficient equipment throughout. The lift car and entrances and associated equipment, together with operating, communication and indication fixtures shall be of a durable and vandal resistant design.

2.04 Compliance with the Lift Regulations

The lifts shall be designed, constructed and installed and placed into public service endorsed with the Lift Contractor’s CE Mark, as that required by their accredited ISO 9000 working procedures and The Lift Regulation 1997.

2.05 Related Documentation and References

The equipment and installation shall conform to all relevant European and British Standards, Codes of Practice and all other associated legislation.

In particular the lifts shall comply with;
