Network Rail’s Bermondsey Dive Under is critical to the successful delivery of the Thameslink project, which will provide 24 trains per hour through the Thameslink core. The project involves the design of a new grade-separated junction at Bermondsey to minimise conflicting crossings on the eastern approach to with a series of new structures constructed along the line of existing operational railway viaducts. Wherever possible, existing structures are being reused to reduce disruption and waste.

Ramboll’s key innovation on this project was to propose a pre-cast arch solution as an alternative to the reinforced in-situ concrete portals solution proposed in the outline design stage. The pre-cast arches are a novel approach that reduced the demolition, de-risked the blockade and reduced the number of piles required by about 50% to only 900 piles leading to significant cost savings and reduced embodied carbon. Following the success of this project a similar approach has been used elsewhere by the client.

09 TRONDHEIM HIGH SPEED RAIL LINE Ramboll has been appointed to identify the best options for a possible future high speed rail service between and Trondheim in Norway to support the Norwegian National Rail Administration application for a parliament decision to build a new rail line between the two major cities. Preliminary work has been carried out including assessing a range of alternative routes and analysing their potential while considering risks, logistics, operational limitations and construction.

10 HOLMESTRAND STATION The recently opened Homestrand Station in Norway is the world’s first mountain station. The new fourteen kilometre double track through the city of Holmestrand will greatly improve the rail services on the line. Ramboll was responsible for the design of seven kilometres of the line as well as Holmestrand Station. The entrance hall allows high speed trains to pass at 250 km/hour, with special emphasis placed on safety, ventilation, noise and wind speed.

11 CROSSRAIL INTERVENTION SHAFTS Ramboll is working with Weston Williamson and Partners to undertake the detailed design of the mechanical, 11 electrical and public health services for three of the five intervention shafts being delivered by the Crossrail project in London including: Limmo Peninsula, Stepney Green and Fisher Street. Ramboll is responsible for the integration of the building services elements of the shafts, requiring regular interaction and coordination with designers for other disciplines and the specialist system wide contractors. This complex process includes the management of individual space and access needs for the specialist equipment requirements 09 within a constrained space, including for example; communications systems, bulk power, high voltage switchgear, electrical distribution and ventilation.

12 DOHA METRO GREEN LINE Ramboll provided design verification services for the Doha Metro Green Line. The Qatar Railways joint venture appointed Ramboll as the Design Verification Engineer (DVE) for their works; which comprises six underground stations, two switch boxes, escape shafts and 18.7 km of connecting twin bored tunnels. Ramboll has provided a core team locally representing each of the required disciplines, supported by specialists from other parts of the Ramboll Group.
