t n e m IPD25 – Targets & Status Update u c o D y c a g Part 1 e L g n i n r a e L

t n e m IPD25 – Targets u c o • D25 Targets – BS4142 Approach D y c a g Noise Levels Relative to Background e L g n i 10dB ‘Reasonable Endeavours’ Range n r a -5dB below Background +5dB above Background e ‘Further Endeavours’ ‘Crossrail Assessment Criterion’ L 0dB Background

t n e m IPD25 – Fixed Installations u c o D Main Fixed Plant Noise Sources: y c • Tunnel Ventilation Fans, a g • Mechanical Plant at Crossrail Buildings (e.g. e L ventilation and air conditioning equipment) g • Electrical Trackside Equipment n i n • Power Supply Facilities (e.g. Transformers) r a e L

t n e m IPD25 – Assessment Assumptions u c o • Conservative approach currently adopted D y for Reference Design: c a - IPD25 refers to ‘ normal operation ’ g e - However, FDC assessments are based L on Tunnel vent congested-mode, late g n at night or early morning i n r - In practice, a very unlikely scenario, a e hence considered to be worst-case L - Conventional plant assumed 24/7

t n e m IPD25 – Assessment u c o • Preliminary assessments are based on: D y - BS4142 Rating Method c a - Cumulative impact of site development g e L - Determined at worst-affected receptor g - +5dB character correction in all cases n i n - Typical operational hours over a week r a - Predicted for the worst 5-mins (night) e L - Additional allowances for calculation uncertainty

t n e m IPD25 – Status Update u c o • Engagement of Framework Design D y Consultants (FDCs) c a • Development of Reference Designs by FDCs g e for Power, Portals, Stations and Shafts L • Presently 22 Development Sites have been g n considered i n r • 10 - Forced Ventilation Shaft Sites a e • 12 – Sites with other Fixed Installations L

t n e m IPD25 – Status Update u c o • Development of the Method for Establishing D y Background Noise Levels for IPD25 c a • FDC Background Noise Surveys/Reporting g e using the standard grid of L A90,1hr dB values: L g n i n r a e L

t n e m IPD25 – Status Update u c o • ‘Jointly Established’ & Agreed Background D y Noise Levels with Local Authorities c a • Preliminary D25 Noise Assessments of g e FDC Reference Design – Reviewed by CRL L • Individual D25 Presentations to Local g n Authorities by Station FDCs i n r • Next step: D25 Communication to Local a e Authorities of Preliminary Assessment L Findings (Worst-case Cumulative Levels)

t n e m IPD25 – Status Update u c o • IPD25 Contract Specifications Completed D y and Included in the relevant tender c a packages (ITTs) as follows: g e L 1. Deep-Level Stations g 2. Shafts and Portals n i n 3. Surface Rail and Surface Stations r a e 4. Tunnel Ventilation (Systemwide) L 5. Traction Power Transformers

t n e m u Engineering & Contractual Context c o D y c a Part 2 g e L g n i n r a e L

t n e m u Engineering & Contractual Context c o Context: IPD25 Introduction - Paragraph 1.5 D y “ To avoid a significant noise impact from the tunnel c a forced ventilation fans, noise attenuators will be g e designed and installed on each side of the tunnel L ventilation fans, as necessary to meet the Crossrail g assessment criterion for fixed plant ” n i n The preliminary assessments support the above, r a indicating that the tunnel ventilation fans are the most e L significant fixed installation noise sources on the Crossrail project

t n e m Crossrail - Central Section Works u • Tunnel structures and station, intermediate c o shaft and portal structures & mechanical and D electrical systems y c a g • Systemwide (railway systems, tunnel systems) e L g n • Complexity: i n r – Complex packaging of delivery responsibility a e – Complex project timeline L
