APPENDIX-I Form-7 Proposed Methodology and Work Plan 1) Understanding of TOR This is a brown field project wherein we understand that the selection of station shall play a very vital role and needs to be evaluated / assessed in terms of its location, terrain, topography, environment, physical surroundings and current surroundings with passenger traffic. The feasibility of this project and further taking it forward for development of a comprehensive master- plan for phased integrated development, complementing the land use and other Infrastructure facilities in terms of town planning, transportation, environmental impact and looking beyond conceptual stage for a progressive master-plan. The Conceptual Plan and the Master plan for development/re-development of the Station on both sides and its surroundings on the entire Railway Land at the railway station are to be developed. The most important aspect of this project and its feasibility is dependable on the viable economic & financial opportunities for Public Private Partnership promoter for making it financially feasible & professionally manageable. This is a great opportunity hence it needs to be looked into absolutely realistic & practical propositions to meet the requirements of this futuristic project. To be able to sustain the pressure of fast urbanization, capacity increase, train traffic and the passenger traffic forecast in most eco-friendly environment and creating pollution free development. The master-plan of the project needs principal approval from various agencies including Railway Board, Divisional Railway Manager of corresponding station & other Government agencies. For taking up the project further details of station building development, preliminary design of concourse, foot over bridges, multimodal access and egress, platforms, commercial and retail, parking, station administrative building, parcel storage, security services, utilities etc. Besides this, the master plan would be conceptualized in terms of land use for creating supporting commercial, recreational infrastructure for hospitality & tourism business and commercial development etc. at the station. This is a visionary project impacting the overall growth, the GDP of the corresponding city & the catchment areas in the neighborhood as such it needs to be visualized as 22nd Century’s ambitious dream project. The major points in Railway Station Planning and Management based on Manual of Standards and Specifications for Railway Stations are 1. Pedestrian flow – to have direct connectivity without Vehicular hindrances 2. Peak Hour Capacity – To Understand the correct saturation level of passenger such that the design can be retained for next 50 to 100 years , for this peak hour capacity is calculated and factor is applied to it 3. Segregation of Arrival and Departure - The Departure and Arrival for the passengers is segregated so that there is no conflict between them. 4. Vacant Platforms - Grand Concourse is designed with proper waiting areas as per calculations based on LOS level 5. Commercial value – Designing commercial and retail upto 10 percent so that the station could be commercially viable 6. Towards Sustainability – Design the Stations and other building as energy efficient 7. Level of Service – LOS rating based on Railway Manual dictates the passenger area requirement and allied facilities. 8. User Friendly facilities – The Station design should be such that it should be accessible by all. 20 9. Commercial and retail development – optimizing on financial model of the project, necessities for the development of commercial and retail facilities inside and around the station is a must. 10. GRIHA RATING – For minimizing on life cycle cost, cutting down on electrical cost is a major challenge. Using green building design principles will help in achieving low cost in Railway Stations carbon footprint over the years. The consultant is deemed responsible for various aspects during the whole process of design and construction mainly: 1. Review of previous reports/drawings/data and verify the available drawing of the site. 2. Traffic study and development of integrated traffic plan. 3. Studies, Surveys and Investigation a. Engineering Survey b. Building Condition survey including ascertaining ownership of land and structure c. Existing utilities mapping, assess and plan permanent and temporary diversion utilities d. Preparation of land acquisition plan e. Geotechnical survey f. Study of Identification of sensitive structure 4. Development Control norms 5. Assessment of additional requirement of utility infrastructure such as power and water 6. Relocation plans of buildings 7. Construction methodology, sequencing, scheduling and time frame 8. Environmental impact assessment 9. Cost, BOQ and cost estimates 10. Submissions for purpose of obtaining principle statutory approval/clearance for the master plan 11. Preparation of various technical schedules of the development agreement 2) Methodology and Work Plan OUR UNDERSTANDING FOR RAILWAY STATIONS Being foremost an architectural consultancy firm towards Infrastructure project in India, Creative Group through their experience has quite a clarity towards design along with traffic flow in respect to pedestrian, vehicular and other Services is the major concern for Railway Station. Some key points considered to be valuable for railway stations are: 1. Pedestrian flow – to have direct connectivity without vehicular hindrances and optimized flow. 2. Peak Hour Capacity – To understand the correct saturation level of passenger flow such that the design can be retained for next 50 - 100 years, for this peak hour capacity is calculated and prospective factor for future is applied to it. 3. Segregation of Arrival and Departure - The Departure and Arrival areas for the passengers is segregated so that there is no conflict between them. 4. Vacant Platforms - Grand Concourse is designed with proper waiting areas as per calculations based on LOS level. 5. Commercial value – Designing commercial and retail up-to 10 percent so that the station could be commercially viable. 6. Towards Sustainability – Design the stations and ancillary building as energy efficient. WAITING AREA UTILITIES ESCALATOR LIFT ARRIVAL ZONE DEPARTURE21 ZONE AIM a.
