3.10.1 Objective
The purpose of this section is to set the minimum standards for temporary facilities, to
understand how relocation of those temporary facilities might interfere with RailCorp
operations and to understand the mechanisms by which the public is informed during
temporary works. It is essential that spatial demands (eg booking office footprint and
location along passenger flow paths) as well as power demands be considered in order to
minimise disruptions. The User Requirements Brief may also outline specific
requirements for temporary works to tracks.
It is also essential for RailCorp to maintain the same levels of safety and security
for/during temporary works, as those that are required for permanent works, including
clearances to track during the installation of such temporary facilities during station
upgrading works.
Note – As Temporary Works are a required part of any station upgrade works.
Designers of these areas should careful plan and stage the proposed works
early in the design process so as to minimise any potential negative effects on
train operations and/or passenger usage of a station.
Note that during most station upgrade works, a station will be required to
remain in operation.
Ensure that all works, including temporary works are co-ordinated with track
possessions and given RailCorp operational concurrence.
