loca l k n ow le dge globa l e x pe r ie n ce

Halcrow recognises that rail projects are multidisciplinary and this needs to be about more than working on multiple aspects of the project at the same time. We realise that a truly multi-disciplinary approach is about breaking down the barriers between disciplines, sharing information across different skill groups. Through strong leadership and effective collaboration we ensure that every team member shares the same vision for a project and works towards a single set of objectives.

We have a track record of successful delivery across all these disciplines and have effectively combined many of these areas on a single project, resulting in some of the leading transportation systems in the world today. In addition to high speed, freight and main line, light rail and metro projects, Halcrow has delivered transportation links to some of the world’s major airports. From dedicated airport express links, extensions of existing light rail and metro lines, to design of the only in-town check-out facility in the world at Kuala Lumpur’s City Air Terminal, Halcrow can provide first class designs for any type of airport link.

approach allows a cost-effective and swift response to client’s needs, supplying the right people at the appropriate stages of the project, whether it is a pre- feasibility study or a full design through to operation

scheme.

Rail infrastructure services

Capital-intensive infrastructure, long asset lives, and lack of alternative uses are features of rail investment that underline the need for effective strategic and subsequently tactical planning. At the same time, the structure of the industry is changing in many countries, with infrastructure separation, development of business units, corporatisation and privatisation. Increasingly, government agencies and other transportation operators are becoming partners in the provision, operation and management of railway systems.

Halcrow has been at the forefront of changes in industry structure, development of new technologies and industry best practices and is able to transfer this knowledge to clients’ projects.

Programme management

Halcrow recognises that the development of a railway system is an integrated and multidisciplinary process requiring the management of diverse functions. For a system to be successfully delivered, the interaction between all parties and functions must be robust and effectively managed. In particular, the interpretation of client requirements and those of the statutory authorities, the formulation of business cases and strategic directions, and the evaluation of

financing options, are important functions. At the project level we undertake cost

schedule and quality management functions including the monitoring of performance and the implementation of remedial actions when elements of

We offer industry leading capability in electrification, signalling and train control systems, telecommunications, SCADA, AFC, fire and ventilation and traction power supply together with a suite of specialist computer design, modelling and simulation programs.

On complex rail infrastructure projects we recognise the benefits of developing a design in a single model environment. This approach allows for complete understanding of the complex interfaces between structures as well as facilitating full coordination between the design disciplines. It also allows the client to visualise the finished product at all stages of the design process. In keeping with this philosophy, our teams promote the use of 3D and multi-layered CAD software on many of its most successful projects.

Due diligence and transaction experience Our extensive experience in professional advice covers the commercial

and technical aspects of acquisition, development, and operation of fixed and movable assets. This experience includes providing advice to procuring authorities, funders, potential operators, developers and regulators.

We appreciate that there are particular risks when developing commercially funded infrastructure and services, particularly in assessing the links between funding constraints and risk allocation. There are also practical risks associated with staging of works, delivery to programme, systems integration, dealing with interfaces with the existing infrastructure, and sensitivities to disruption to existing services during implementation periods.

We recognise that risk is a key determinant in assessing viability of any proposal for private finance involvements. Risks must be appropriately allocated to the parties best able to manage and mitigate risks, while specifications must allow sufficient flexibility for efficiencies to be achieved through innovation and application of best practice from the private sector and allow appropriate returns to investors.

Rail PPP There are numerous precedents for PPP development of railway

systems for heavy rail, metro and light rail systems in the UK and around the globe. There are many different arrangements for packaging of system development and operations with precedents for combinations involving public and private funding components of all or some of the elements. Packaging of works and contract payment arrangements reflect the differing risk profiles in relation

PPP/ PFI in it ia t ive s:

e x pe r t a dvice fr om a n

in du st r y le a de r

to construction, operating outputs and revenue. In each case, procurement has followed long periods of scheme development and required extensive negotiations over funding profiles and transfer of risk for achieving outputs. The complexity of payment mechanisms is generally inversely proportional to the level of risk transfer and prescription of required outputs although in each case there is a clearly defined minimum level of system outputs.

Halcrow has been involved in each of the different PPP types outlined in the table opposite and in each of the schemes shown as examples, providing technical and/or commercial advice to clients involved in their development. Halcrow has capability in:

The Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) commissioned Halcrow to carry out an independent review to sample-check a range of train/freight operating companies following the Ladbroke Grove rail accident to identify good practice and areas of concern. We produced codes of practice covering many areas of driver management that formed the basis for the individual train company safety management systems to meet the mandatory requirements of the Railway Group Standards.

The MTR Corporation, Hong Kong, called on our expertise to advise them on the content, structure and style of the rules and procedures, accident and emergency planning manuals and other safety management system documents to make these more understandable to their staff. We provided a project manager who worked with MTR Corporation to make the changes to the documentation.

RailCorp Australia commissioned Halcrow to review the status and set a baseline of the implementation of the RailCorp corporate safety management system and benchmark this against international best practice models in the rail industry and recommend a basis for continual improvement in the safety management and performance.

In preparation for acceptance and introduction of the national code of practice, AROU commissioned Halcrow to carry out an independent review of the adequacy of the structure and content of the code.

Managing operational safety risk and risk assessment We have carried out a wide range of projects for industry clients. Halcrow specialises in managing the risk from signals passed at danger and works with clients to develop risk control strategies and produce the industry newsletter “Red Alert”, and manage the annual UK National Operational Safety and SPAD Conference and Workshops.

Halcrow won the HSBC awards for Safety and Security Innovation for their work on SPAD management and in conjunction with Arriva Trains Wales for developing a technique to manage distraction risk and improve memory retention (Risk Triggered Commentary). Many UK companies have adopted this technique and the practise is now spreading to other railways around the world.

Operational safety risk assessments have been carried out on a wide range of topics including driver only operation, shunting, train door control systems and level crossings.

Halcrow has produced industry guidance on how to produce depot specific risk assessments for train driver depots and shunting locations which has been widely adopted by UK companies.

Safety audit services Halcrow is commissioned by a number of train and infrastructure companies to carry out an annual audit of their safety management system/railway safety case. We apply a risk based approach to the compliance checks that are undertaken and provide “added value” by also reviewing the content of the standards and procedures to establish if these are keeping pace with industry “good practice”. Halcrow also provides training in “audit skills” for audit teams. Clients include Eurostar, Arriva Trains Wales, Northern, GrantRail, Dean & Dyball Construction, Atkins Rail, Jarvis Group.

Halcrow carried out an operational safety assessment of the Singapore MRT NE Line and the Sengkang & Punggol LRT systems to establish if these lines were safe to commence their operations.

Halcrow is playing a leading role in the delivery of one of the largest infrastructure projects in the world.

When Crossrail opens in 2017, it will increase London’s public transport network capacity by 10%, supporting regeneration across the capital, helping to secure London’s position as a world leading financial centre and cutting journey times

across the city.

The aim of this £16 billion scheme is to provide a new east-west railway across London, providing a dedicated link between Heathrow Airport, the West End, the City, Canary Wharf and the Thames Gateway. New tunnels will be constructed from Paddington in the west, to Stratford and Canary Wharf in the east.

Crossrail will run 118km from Maidenhead and Heathrow in the west, through new twin- bore 21km tunnels under central London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. It will bring an additional 1.5 million people within 60 minutes commuting distance of London’s key business districts.

A team consisting of Halcrow, Bechtel and Systra has been appointed as a project delivery partner for the 21km central tunnel section, running from west London, through Paddington and branching off to the north and south of Liverpool Street Station. This tunnel will run through six new stations, and is set to become the largest construction project in Europe.

The team will also take on the complex job of integrating Crossrail with London’s existing transport systems.

Preparatory works are under way now, and construction is due to start in 2010. Halcrow’s appointment as part of the project delivery team follows a succession of

design contracts on the Crossrail project. We recently completed the multidisciplinary design of the south-east leg of the new network, which runs through Canary Wharf, the ExCel international exhibition and conference centre and out to regeneration areas in North Kent. This section includes a mixture of underground and surface running, with a minimum of three stations, as well as three portals and six intermediate shafts.

In the past we have also carried out the detailed design of running tunnels, platform tunnels and ventilation structures between Westbourne Bridge and Tottenham Court Road station and design of a new Crossrail station at Bond Street.

Halcrow has designed a £180 million extension to the Docklands Light railway (DLR) in London that will provide a much- needed transport link between Woolwich town centre, central London and London City airport, and will play an important part in the regeneration of Woolwich and the Royal Docks.

The new line will also provide a transport link to the Olympic village as part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The 2.5km extension runs under the River Thames from the existing George V DLR station to a new station at Woolwich Arsenal that integrates light and heavy rail, local bus services, taxis and water boats, to provide the area with a major multimodal interchange.

As lead designer Halcrow was responsible for all aspects of design including tunnelling, piling and diaphragm walls, geotechnics, mechanical and electrical works, building services and structural

design, track work, signalling and train control systems, telecommunications and SCADA, rail systems and station architecture (in association with project architect). Our pedestrian modelling team modelled passenger flows in an around the station, and our traffic management and highways teams managed all associated highways works.

We utilised live 4D CAD modelling software for clash detection and to optimise systems integration.

The design was successfully delivered to a challenging programme, and Halcrow subsequently provided construction supervision and support during the testing, commissioning and handover of the completed system

The new station, the largest on the DLR network, is fully integrated with the existing National Rail station, which was upgraded as part of this project. It is built over three storeys and incorporates step-free access to the ticket hall, platforms and trains, and

a step free interchange with the National Rail services. In addition to the station, the project included twin 1.8km long, 6m diameter, bored

running tunnels under the River Thames. They were bored using an earth pressure balancing tunnel boring machine and lined with a steel fibre-reinforced trapezoidal segmental lining. During the tunnel excavation 100,000 cubic metres of spoil was taken out and removed by barge to minimise the environmental impact and avoid adding congestion to London’s roads.

The Ampang Line is one of the three lines in Kuala Lumpur’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) network. This 16km long extension to the line will include 12 new elevated stations between Putra Heights and Sri Petaling via Puchong, and a new depot for the expanded

fleet.

Halcrow is a lead designer for the systems aspects of this extension. The scope of services includes provision of specialist systems engineering input - rolling stock, operations and maintenance aspects, and the provision of tender support services in respect of the award of a proposed engineer, procure and construct (EPC) form of contract. The scope also includes development of the requirements for the full technical compatibility and interfaces and operations plans. Halcrow is responsible for the management of the technical interfaces between the civil and structural, and mechanical and electrical designers.

Halcrow team is also designing a purpose built maintenance depot, stabling points and equipment

facility for the full maintenance (heavy and light) of new rolling stock. The new depot is also designed to accommodate existing vehicles on the current system for both stabling and light maintenance.

The facility includes stabling sidings for 12 six-car units with raised platforms allowing straight access into the vehicle and water and power to allow cleaning of all units. There is also a covered maintenance facility including maintenance equipment, storage points, workshop staff facilities and administrative facilities.

Sustainability is a key factor in the design. The depot roof will include solar panels to provide renewable energy to the facility.

After the EPC contract award Halcrow’s role will continue with responsibility for design review and verification of the systems contractor, monitoring of the manufacture, installation, testing, commissioning and handover of the system.

Kuala Lumpur LRT 2 Kelana Jaya Line: PUTRA

The PUTRA LRT is one of the most advanced rapid transit systems in the world and, at the time of commissioning, the world’s longest driverless metro.

Halcrow was lead member of a joint venture acting as consulting engineer responsible for all preliminary design, detailed design, all coordination, specifications, supervision and commissioning for this major project.

The system is 29km in length and serves a total of 24 stations. The route links the commuter area in the north and west via the city centre, with a new depot located at the western end of the line. The system has capacity of 30,000 passengers per hour, per direction, and incorporates 24km of viaduct and 5km of tunnels. This was the first major tunnelling project in Malaysia and required the effective liaison with multiple stakeholders to ensure minimal disruption.

Halcrow were involved in the design of 22 new stations, five of which are underground, and the incorporation of the system into two existing stations. Safety is stressed in the station design by
