Halcrow has signicant experience in procurement,

design and construction supervision, throughtesting and commissioning, to operations andmaintenance support, and have carried out theseservices on systems all over the world, fromthe Philippines with Manilas LRT2 to LondonsDocklands Light Railway system.

With the urban rail team taking a lead role, ourproject management partnership approach ensuresthat all disciplines and parties involved in a schemework cooperatively together in a proactive way,delivering quality results on time, and to budget. Thisapproach allows a cost-effective and swift response

to clients needs, supplying the right people at theappropriate stages of the project, whether it is a pre-feasibility study or a full design through to operationscheme.

Rail infrastructure servicesCapital-intensive infrastructure, long asset lives, and lackof alternative uses are features of rail investment that

underline the need for effective strategic and subsequentlytactical planning. At the same time, the structure of the

industry is changing in many countries, with infrastructure

separation, development of business units, corporatisationand privatisation. Increasingly, government agencies and

other transportation operators are becoming partners in theprovision, 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 managementHalcrow recognises that the development of a railway system is anintegrated and multidisciplinary process requiring the managementof diverse functions. For a system to be successfully delivered,

the interaction between all parties and functions must be robustand effectively managed. In particular, the interpretation of clientrequirements and those of the statutory authorities, the formulationof business cases and strategic directions, and the evaluation of

nancing options, are important functions.

At the project level we undertake costschedule and quality management

functions including the monitoringof performance and the

implementation of remedialactions when elements of

the works are not performing as planned. Halcrow also has extensive

experience in the establishment of multi-disciplined managementteams and procedures which allow timely decisions to be madeduring the railway systems development and to manage, documentand track changes that are made.

Design servicesHalcrows civil engineering capability is among the best in the industry.We can provide full services for all aspects of a rail system, whether fora completely new railway or metro line, an extension to an operatingsystem or the renovation and refurbishment of existing infrastructure.We have the people, the experience, and the track record of successfuldelivery on major infrastructure projects worldwide.

Our permanent way experts are involved in the design and detailingof new alignments and track formation for everything from tram

alignments in highways to high-speed lines and adaptations offreight lines to accommodate high-speed tilting trains. Halcrowspermanent way capability includes designing improvements toexisting infrastructure to achieve higher speeds, while optimisingcapital expenditure, specifying plant and materials, quality assuranceand all aspects of maintenance.

Our expert bridges group is working on some of the most excitingbridge and viaduct projects in the world; we have delivered over300 station projects in the last ten years alone, and our reputation intunnelling and underground infrastructure is unparalleled.

Commercial servicesWorldwide, railways are coming under increasing pressure to improvetheir nancial and operating performance.

Most are facing increasing threats from competition, such as roadconstruction and rising car ownership, aggressive responses frombus operators and road haulers and low cost internal air travel.Governments are also seeking to reduce the levels of subsidyprovided to railways.

Faced with these pressures a railway must adapt in order to survive.Without change a railway risks entering a vicious downward spiral

of worsening nancial performance and cuts. The situation iscompounded by ageing assets, insufcient funds for investment, a

growing debt burden and cost recovery that is insufcient to cover

both operating and infrastructure costs. If left unchecked, this resultsin a further decline in competitiveness and performance and a furtherworsening of the nancial position.

We are experienced in advising railways on how best to structuretheir organisations in order to manage the increased competition andreduced protection. We believe there are four fundamental elementsthat are pre-requisites to business success.

Railways must have:

an understanding between the railway organisations andgovernment of the role the railway should play in the nationaltransportation structure, with clear nancial (and other) objectives

and an explicit regulatory framework

an understanding of the competitive environment in which therailway operates

an understanding of its own business and, in particular, the needsand aspirations of its customers

an understanding of its operating costs and pricing options, notjust in total, but also in the servicing of individual markets or trafc

ows

In order to achieve these understandings, the transportation strategy,regulatory structure and railways organisational structure mustbe critically analysed, with the degree of real authority enjoyed bygovernment, regulators and managers down the chain of commandassessed. It also requires effective planning processes and nancial

accounting systems.

We have experience of assisting governments, railways, fundingagencies and private sector interests around the world in developingthese areas of activity, and of working with the railways to ensuretheir successful introduction and development.

Due diligence and transaction experience

Our extensive experience in professional advice covers the commercialand technical aspects of acquisition, development, and operation ofxed and movable assets. This experience includes providing advice

to procuring authorities, funders, potential operators, developers andregulators.

We appreciate that there are particular risks when developingcommercially funded infrastructure and services, particularly inassessing 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 interfaceswith the existing infrastructure, and sensitivities to disruption toexisting services during implementation periods.

We recognise that risk is a key determinant in assessing viability of anyproposal for private nance involvements. Risks must be appropriately

allocated to the parties best able to manage and mitigate risks, whilespecications must allow sufcient exibility for efciencies to be

achieved through innovation and application of best practice from theprivate sector and allow appropriate returns to investors.

Rail PPPThere are numerous precedents for PPP development of railwaysystems for heavy rail, metro and light rail systems in the UK andaround the globe. There are many different arrangements forpackaging of system development and operations with precedents

for combinations involving public and private funding componentsof all or some of the elements. Packaging of works and contractpayment arrangements reect the differing risk proles in relation

to construction, operating outputs and revenue. In each case,procurement has followed long periods of scheme development andrequired extensive negotiations over funding proles and transfer of

risk for achieving outputs. The complexity of payment mechanismsis generally inversely proportional to the level of risk transfer andprescription of required outputs although in each case there is aclearly dened minimum level of system outputs.

Halcrow has been involved in each of the different PPP types outlinedin the table opposite and in each of the schemes shown as examples,

providing technical and/or commercial advice to clients involved intheir development. Halcrow has capability in:

Independent reviews of company standards/safety

management systems for train driving and SPADmanagement

Halcrow is regularly commissioned to carry out reviews and audits ofthe safety management systems for the management of train drivers,depot drivers and driver managers, the management of operationalsafety risk including signals passed at danger (SPAD) and theapplication of the standards the workplace. Clients include mostUK train companies, including Network Rail, Irish Rail, QueenslandRail, RailCorp and Perth PTA in Australia, and Hong Kongs MTRCorporation.

The Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC) commissionedHalcrow to carry out an independent review to sample-check a rangeof train/freight operating companies following the Ladbroke Grove railaccident to identify good practice and areas of concern. We producedcodes of practice covering many areas of driver management that

formed the basis for the individual train company safety managementsystems to meet the mandatory requirements of the Railway GroupStandards.

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

RailCorp Australia commissioned Halcrow to review the status andset a baseline of the implementation of the RailCorp corporate safety

management system and benchmark this against international bestpractice models in the rail industry and recommend a basis forcontinual improvement in the safety management and performance.

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

Managing operational safety risk and risk assessmentWe have carried out a wide range of projects for industry clients.Halcrow specialises in managing the risk from signals passed atdanger and works with clients to develop risk control strategiesand produce the industry newsletter Red Alert, and manage the

annual UK National Operational Safety and SPAD Conference andWorkshops.

Halcrow won the HSBC awards for Safety and Security Innovation

for their work on SPAD management and in conjunction with ArrivaTrains Wales for developing a technique to manage distraction riskand improve memory retention (Risk Triggered Commentary). ManyUK companies have adopted this technique and the practise is nowspreading to other railways around the world.

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

Halcrow has produced industry guidance on how to produce depotspecic risk assessments for train driver depots and shunting locations

which has been widely adopted by UK companies.

Safety audit servicesHalcrow is commissioned by a number of train and infrastructurecompanies to carry out an annual audit of their safety managementsystem/railway safety case. We apply a risk based approach to thecompliance checks that are undertaken and provide added valueby also reviewing the content of the standards and procedures toestablish if these are keeping pace with industry good practice.Halcrow also provides training in audit skills for audit teams. Clientsinclude Eurostar, Arriva Trains Wales, Northern, GrantRail, Dean &Dyball Construction, Atkins Rail, Jarvis Group.

Halcrow is playing a leading role in the

delivery of one of the largest infrastructureprojects in the world .

When Crossrail opens in 2017, it willincrease Londons public transport networkcapacity by 10%, supporting regenerationacross the capital, helping to secureLondons position as a world leadingnancial centre and cutting journey times

across the city.

The aim of this 16 billion scheme is to provide anew east-west railway across London, providing a

dedicated link between Heathrow Airport, the WestEnd, the City, Canary Wharf and the Thames Gateway.New tunnels will be constructed from Paddington inthe 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 Sheneld and Abbey Wood in the east. It will

bring an additional 1.5 million people within 60 minutes commuting distance of Londonskey business districts.

A team consisting of Halcrow, Bechtel and Systra has been appointed as a projectdelivery partner for the 21km central tunnel section, running from west London, throughPaddington 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 constructionproject in Europe.

The team will also take on the complex job of integrating Crossrail with Londons existingtransport systems.

Preparatory works are under way now, and construction is due to start in 2010.

Halcrows appointment as part of the project delivery team follows a succession ofdesign contracts on the Crossrail project. We recently completed the multidisciplinarydesign of the south-east leg of the new network, which runs through Canary Wharf, theExCel international exhibition and conference centre and out to regeneration areas inNorth Kent. This section includes a mixture of underground and surface running, with aminimum 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, platformtunnels and ventilation structures between Westbourne Bridge and Tottenham CourtRoad 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 Woolwichtown centre, central London and LondonCity airport, and will play an important part inthe regeneration of Woolwich and the RoyalDocks.

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

The 2.5km extension runs under the River Thames

from the existing George V DLR station to a newstation at Woolwich Arsenal that integrates lightand heavy rail, local bus services, taxis and waterboats, to provide the area with a major multimodalinterchange.

As lead designer Halcrow was responsible for allaspects of design including tunnelling, piling anddiaphragm walls, geotechnics, mechanical andelectrical works, building services and structural

design, track work, signalling and train control systems, telecommunications andSCADA, rail systems and station architecture (in association with project architect).Our pedestrian modelling team modelled passenger ows in an around the station,

and our trafc management and highways teams managed all associated highwaysworks.

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

The design was successfully delivered to a challenging programme, and Halcrowsubsequently 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 existingNational Rail station, which was upgraded as part of this project. It is built over threestoreys and incorporates step-free access to the ticket hall, platforms and trains, anda step free interchange with the National Rail services.

In addition to the station, the project included twin 1.8km long, 6m diameter, boredrunning tunnels under the River Thames. They were bored using an earth pressurebalancing tunnel boring machine and lined with a steel bre-reinforced trapezoidal

segmental lining. During the tunnel excavation 100,000 cubic metres of spoil wastaken out and removed by barge to minimise the environmental impact and avoid

adding congestion to Londons roads.

Commuters, residents and visitors are

set to benet from a major upgrade toTottenham Court Road one of Londonsbusiest underground stations which willboost capacity and ease congestion.

Over 150,000 people use the station every day,and passenger numbers are expected to surge to200,000 with the opening of the Tottenham CourtRoad Crossrail station in 2017.

Co-ordinating all sub-consultants and architects,Halcrow has provided multidisciplinary design andplanning consultancy services for the 300 million

station upgrade.Featuring passageways linking LondonUnderground platforms with the Crossrail station,plus an enlarged ticket hall below busy Londonroads and Grade II listed buildings, the projectrepresents a comprehensive modernisation.

Halcrows design for the refurbished station useda pedestrian modelling study to reduce traveldistances between the ticket hall and platformlevels. The modelling exercise also led to improvedticket hall and station entrance layout designs.

New escalators and step-free access will improvepassengers travel experience. Halcrows state-of-the-art re safety measures are designed to protect

those using and working in the station, while a ve-

storey operations building will house staff accommodation.

Halcrow and its construction partners have produced guidance for safelyconstructing, testing and opening each part of the project to maintain services andreduce disruption, in keeping with the clients requirements.

Once complete, this integrated transport hub will play an integral role at the heart ofthe capitals travel network.

Kuala Lumpur LRT 2 Kelana Jaya Line: PUTRA

The PUTRA LRT is one of the most advanced

rapid transit systems in the world and, atthe time of commissioning, the worldslongest driverless metro.

Halcrow was lead member of a joint ventureacting as consulting engineer responsible for allpreliminary design, detailed design, all coordination,specications, supervision and commissioning for

this major project.

The system is 29km in length and serves a totalof 24 stations. The route links the commuter areain the north and west via the city centre, with anew depot located at the western end of the line.The system has capacity of 30,000 passengersper hour, per direction, and incorporates 24kmof viaduct and 5km of tunnels. This was the rst

major tunnelling project in Malaysia and requiredthe effective liaison with multiple stakeholders toensure minimal disruption.

Halcrow were involved in the design of 22 newstations, ve of which are underground, and

the incorporation of the system into two existingstations. Safety is stressed in the station design by

the incorporation of platform screen doors (all underground stations) and intrusion

sensors. The stations were designed to have platform gaps of less than 5cm toallow easy access for disabled and wheelchair users. This required a number ofconsiderations during design including non-ballasted tracks, hence less rail andtrain movements, direct rubber suspension of the trains leading to less train bodymovements and straight platforms at all stations.

Halcrows design included state of the art communication systems and automaticfare collection, utilising a contact-less smart-card system.

Halcrow managed the implementation of Linear Induction Motor technology, used toensure operating noise was kept to a minimum, and the Alcatel SELTRAC vehiclecontrol system. This included all safety checks, phased roll out of the systemand testing and commissioning. Halcrow undertook the approval and acceptanceof the rolling stock; from type testing and factory acceptance through to testing,commissioning and trial running.

The system was managed in two phases, with phase one fast tracked to go fromconcept to service in just four years in time for the Commonwealth Games in 1998,and phase two delivered into full service after just two weeks trial running.

Halcrow has designed a 4.4km extension

to the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) thatenables airline passengers and airportvisitors and staff to get to City Airport fromthe centre of London in just 22 minutes,and from Canary Wharf within 14 minutes.

The airports owner believes this will help to reducecar journeys by an estimated half a million a year.

Halcrow was appointed as lead designer for thenew line, which includes 2.9km of elevated trackand four new stations. Each station serves existingor planned schemes that will act as catalysts

for future developments. The elevated stationat City Airport provides a multimodal transportinterchange, integrating the DLR with the airport,local buses and taxis, and gives access directly tothe airport terminal building.

Halcrow was responsible for all aspects of design,including mechanical and electrical works, buildingservices and structural design, geotechnical advice,track work, signalling and train control systems,telecommunications and SCADA, rail systems andstation architecture, in association with the projectarchitect. Our pedestrian modelling team modelled

passenger ows in an around the station, and our trafc management and highwaysteams managed all associated highways works.

At an early stage in the design, value engineering workshops were held to investigatealternative design proposals and to select the optimum design solution. As the design

developed the contractors planners and site management team worked alongsidethe design team to develop construction methods, phasing, and temporary worksdesigns so that good buildability was inherent in the nal design.

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

Dublin Interconnector - DART Underground

is a proposed new 5.2km undergroundrailway beneath Dublin city centre. Theline will link existing rail lines, and providemultiple transportation interchanges. It willalso link all rail modes, DART, Commuter,Intercity, Luas and Metro, to form anintegrated suburban railway system. Itsaim is to quadruple the Greater Dublinareas rail service capacity from the current25 million passenger journeys annually to100 million passenger journeys.

Halcrow is a lead member of a joint ventureappointed by Iarnrod Eireann (Irish Rail) for theDublin Interconnector DART undergroundproject. The team is responsible for developingthe reference design and contract documentationfor a public-private partnership (PPP) contract,preparing the environmental impact statement, andsupporting the parliamentary approval process.The scope of work encompasses all technicaldisciplines.

The Interconnector will pass under the Docklandsarea, beneath the River Liffey before curving

westwards beneath Pearse IE station and StStephens Green towards Heuston, the main line terminus for lines into Dublin fromthe west, with DART services terminating at Hazelhatch, Co Kildare. As with the

tunnel itself, this will require new electrication.

Four tunnel boring machines are to be used in construction, mainly through limestone

bedrock at ve metres below the Liffey riverbed. They will create the twin bores fromthe Heuston and Docklands portals, all working towards St Stephens Green. Cutand cover will mainly be used to provide sites for the ve Interconnector stations.

An existing station, St Stephens Green to the south of the citys Grafton Streetshopping area, is destined to be the interchange of Luas, Interconnector and MetroNorth for onward connection to Dublin Airport. This will involve constructing theDART station beneath the Metro, and accommodating the proposed Line BX Luascity centre link in the development designs. Another existing station, Pearse, will beredeveloped as the principal DART interchange.

Extensive resignalling of the central area will be required for the increase inpassenger journey capacity brought about by the realigned DART services. This

includes central trafc control, real-time indicators and destinations of arrivingservices on platforms and on-train information for passengers. Signage is bilingual,with information appearing in English and Irish.

Manila LRT Line 2

Halcrow, as a lead partner of a joint

venture consortium, undertook the designprocurement, supervision testing andcommissioning and operational supportfor this major urban system which servicesone of the largest urban populations inthe world. The project was successfullydelivered on time.

The system has designed maximum capacity of60,000 passengers per hour per direction to copewith the expected doubling of the citys populationover the next 14 years.

Approximately 14km in length, the systemencompasses eleven stations along an east west corridor through ve cities in the metropolitan

Manila area, from Manila city to Pasig. The rollingstock is of the heavy rail metro type.

Before Halcrow was appointed to the lead technicalconsultant role the project had fallen seriouslybehind schedule, however Halcrows projectmanagement and control systems ensured theproject was delivered on schedule and to budget,and into full service after just two weeks trialrunning.

Halcrow were lead technical consultant on theproject and responsible for technical design, tender and contact documentation,site supervision and commissioning of the system, as well as associated feasibilitystudies, economic assessments and urban planning.

Design included one underground and ten elevated stations and one self containeddepot at Santolan, incorporating facilities for maintenance and servicing of the eet.

The majority of the guideway structure is eight metres above the roadway. To avoida dark tunnel effect, the side of the viaduct beams were sloped to give a lighterappearance and maximise ambient light penetration onto the street below.

The stations design incorporate concourse areas for retail areas and have fullwheelchair and disabled access via lifts and escalators. Stations are air-conditionedand have fully automated ticket vending machines and automatic fare collectionsystems. These systems are monitored locally and remotely at the central depotofce via a bre optic network, allowing monitoring of system usage.

Halcrow were responsible for managing the clients engineer consultants, managingthe contractors and ensuring integration across all interfaces. Halcrows projectengineering manager was also responsible for managing contract payments,

documentation and claims throughout the project.As well as the diversion of utilities along the line alignment, a number of undocumentedutilities were encountered requiring additional management and stakeholder liaison.

Vision 42 is a citizens initiative to re-

imagine and improve surface transitin midtown Manhattan, New York. Theproposal to ins tall a light rail system alongworld famous 42nd Street solves many ofthe areas most pressing current and futuretransportation needs. When combinedwith a high quality landscaped pedestrianpromenade, the areas quality of life forresidents, commuters, and tourists isdramatically improved. Halcrow undertookinitial cost study in 2004 and updated coststudy in 2007.

Halcrow has been commissioned by the Institute forRational Urban Mobility, a private citizens group,

to perform a cost estimate study of the capital,operating, and maintenance costs to provide a

modern, river-to-river, at grade, low-oor light rail transit system down the centre of

one of New York Citys most famous boulevards, 42nd Street.

In addition to the light rail system and associated maintenance facility, the plan is toturn 42nd Street into an auto-free landscaped boulevard with open space, outdoorcafes, greenery, and high quality pedestrian amenities.

The cost to relocate/reconstruct a myriad of underground utilities, account for existingsubsurface infrastructure, and provide for increased street maintenance and policingcosts as well as include realized savings resulting from the elimination of existing

bus service was all taken into consideration during this study.

Upon completion of this cost study, presentations were given to key decision makersto present and defend the results of the study and for consideration in determining

project viability.
