PROCEDURE

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA FOR OVERHEAD BRIDGES

./

New or reconstructed bridges over Amtrak Railroad tracks shall meet the followingrequirements:

i. CLEARANCESa. Horizontal and Vertical Clearances shall be in accordance with the current

Standard Track Plan AM70050 - "Minimum Roadway Clearances". Whenreplacing existing bridges that have substandard clearances, every effort shall bemade to improve the clearances.

b. Temporary Construction clearances may be less if approved by Amtrak.

c. Amtrak shall be furnished as-built drawings showing actual clearances as

constructed.

d. Horizontal clearances may need to be increased if a maintenance roadway is

required by Amtrak.

e. Clearances shall be adjusted to provide for any planned changes in the trackage,including the change in track centers and raising of the tracks. Amtrak shall becontacted to obtain information on planned track changes. If the track is in a sagat the proposed overhead crossing location, it should be anticipated that the trackmay be raised to improve the condition. Clearances shall be increased to providefor this track raise.

II. CRASH WALLSAREMA Manual for Railway Engineering, Chapter 8, Article 2.1.5 Pier Protection,describes the requirements for the crash walls. Crash walls are required when face ofthe pier is closer than 25'-0" from centerline of the nearest track, measuredperpendicular to the track, unless the size of the pier satisfies the criteria for piers ofheavy construction as listed in Article II (d).

Crash walls shall meet the following requirements:

a. Crash walls for piers from 12 feet to 25 feet clear from the centerline of the trackshall have a minimum height of 6 feet above the top of raiL. Piers less than 12 feetclear from the centerline of the track shall have a minimum crash wall height of 12feet above the top of raiL. Crash walls shall be at least 2'-6" thick and at least 12feet long.

b. For multi-column piers, the crash wall shall connect the columns and extend at

least 1 foot beyond the outermost columns parallel to the track.

c. Crash walls shall be anchored to the footings and columns as applicable and shall

extend to at least four feet below the lowest surrounding grade.

SCOPE AND NATURE

The development of property resulting in a closed or partially enclosed overbuild structureover tracks, shall include design features to ensure adequate ventilation, ilumination,emergency egress and fire protection to provide a safe environment for Amtrak employeesand customers during normal and emergency operations. The developer shall make allaccommodations to the above grade structure, and shall be responsible for the design,construction and maintenance of the systems described below.

These criteria are intended to serve as the basis of design. It is recognized that there maybe more than one acceptable solution and Amtrak is prepared to review any scientificanalysis that accomplishes the stated function and cooperate with the developer to achievea maintainable and effective overbuild system.

The developer shall comply with National Fire Protection Association NFPA 130 andreferenced documents therein, Except, if the overbuild property is in the City of New Yorkand not already constructed, it shall be assumed to be part of a continuous overbuild longerthan 1000 feet and therefore mechanical ventiation, egress, fire protection and lighting shallbe provided accordingly. The developer shall also comply with all local, state and federalrequirements, should they be more stringent than described herein.

PROCEDURE

Here are special design criteria for designers to consider.

Normal Ventilation

Ventilation shall be provided as needed to control air quality. An engineering analysis to modelthe specific railroad operating scenarios of diesel locomotives within must be performed. The

) result of the analysis shall be the design of a ventilation system with appropriate controls tomaintain safe, acceptable concentrations of diesel exhaust gases. Amtrak wil have personnelroutinely assigned to work in the track area doing maintenance on tracks, signals, rollng stock,and building equipment. Hence, the prescribed occupational limits for NOx, CO, Aldehydes andunburned hydrocarbons must be met. These levels shall be as defined by OSHA and approvedby the Amtrak. Amtrak wil also provide the developer with the operating scenarios regardingtrain movement within the overbuild. Stopped locomotives with head-end power, work trainmovements and mail and baggage switching shall be specifically addressed in the engineeringanalysis.

The operation of locomotives in the traction and/or hotel power mode requires the collection ofemissions, typically though exhaust hoods, while stil hot and near the ceiling. Throat velocity ofexhaust inlets should be at least double the terminal velocity of the emissions that are to becaptured. Past designs have shown a throat velocity of 1800 to 2200 feet per minute to beapplicable approximately 19 to 22 feet above top-of-rail. Duct inlets should be close to thecenter of track, nominally 12 to 15 feet on-centers. The emission temperature at source wíl bebetween 2500 and 9500 F. A diesel locomotive that has been operating for several minutes in alightly loaded mode, wil often produce large amounts of visible smoke and emissions fromaccumulated, unburned fueL. This short-time emission is likely to occur as a train starts toaccelerate upon departure. In the affected zone of operation adjacent to the area, someproducts of combustion wil not be captured. Therefore, a general ventilation dilution systemshould be incorporated with a minimum rate of 6 air-changes per hour. This system may beoperated only during the transiting ofthe affected area and for 10-15 minutes after each transitto clear residual emissions. Make-up must be provided to balance air flows once all open areasare covered. Make-up should be introduced at a level below 4 feet above the top-of-rail toinsure make-up air does not cool the emissions or cause dispersal. Because of the high exitvelocity from some exhausts, (up to 3000 feet per minute) side baffes on ducts and structuresshould be avoided to prevent deflecting emissions away from inlet grilles. Noise levels from the

ventiation system shall not exceed OSHA regulations while also meeting applicable local noiseordinances.

Emer~encv Ventilation

Mechanical emergency ventilation shall be provided in the City of New York, and for overbuildsgreater than 1000 feet in length elsewhere. An engineering analysis to determine the need formechanical emergency ventilation shall be conducted in overbuilds less than 1000 feet, butgreater than 200 feet elsewhere. Mechanical emergency ventiation is not required foroverbuilds less than 200 feet in length elsewhere. The ventilation system shall:

. Provide a stream of non-contaminated air to passengers in a path of egress away from atrain fire.

. Produce air-flow rates to prevent back-layering of smoke in a path of egress away from atrain fire.

. Limit the air temperature in a path of egress away for a train fire to 140°F or less.

. Ensure visibilty during a fire suffcient to see an internally-lighted 7.5 foot-candle sign ata distance of 100 feet (light attenuation coeffcient of 0.06096/ft).

. Comply with all provisions of NFPA 130, Chapter 4.

An engineering analysis to model the effect of a fire within the limits of the mechanicallyventilated overbuild must be performed. The result of the analysis shall be the design of the

ventilation system with appropriate controls. Two fire sizes, large and small, shall be used fordesign criteria:

i. Large: For a single-track/tunnel scenario, it may be appropriate to use the SubwayEnvironmental Simulation Computer ProQram, Version 4 or later, available from the U.S.Department of Transportation. Use a fire heat release rate of 106.2 millon BTU/hr (30 MW).For a multi-track/station scenario, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) may be required,Use 177.5 milion BTU/hr (50 MW) developing over a span of 26 minutes reflectinginteraction of fire spreading to adjacent passenger cars as shown below:

2. Small: Verify the proposed ventilation system (if designed to rely on thermal buoyancyeffects) wil satisfactorily handle a fire heat release rate of 2.4 millon BTU/hr (0.75 MW) anda smoke yield rate of 0.387 Ibs/min, reflecting a smaller trash or electrical fire.

Ilumination

Lighting shall be provided. Ilumination levels of track and walking surfaces shall not be lessthan 2 foot-candles. Exit lights, essential signs and emergency lights shall be included in anemergency lighting system powered by a standby power system. Unless specific color renditionis required, High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) fixtures should be used for general illumination.

Egress

At least one emergency exit stairway shall be provided, and additional exits if required spacedso the distance to an emergency exit shall not exceed 1250 feet. The stairway shall leaddirectly to outdoors or to a safe refuge area. Signs shall indicate direction and distance tonearest exit. Egress points shall be illuminated. Emergency telephones shall be provided ifdeemed necessary by the authority having jurisdiction.

Fire Protection

A dry fire standpipe system, minimum 4 inch. shall be provided when the length of the overbuild

exceeds the maximum length of fire hose (permitted by the local authority having jurisdiction)minus the distance from the portal to the nearest hydrant or approved water source.

I&C Specilicaiion SystemwideRe\. :2 08/07/0 I

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 CONTRACTORS INSTALLING TEMPORARY CONSTRUCTION SHEETING ANDSHORING TO SUPPORT AMTRAK TRACKS SHALL CONFORM TO THE FOLLOWING:

A. Footings for all piers, columns, walls, or other facilities shaIl be located and designed so thatany temporary sheeting and shoring for support of adjacent track or tracks during construction,will not be closer than toe of ballast slope. The dimension from gage of rail to toe of ballast,along tangent track, is 7'-5"; see dimensions on Track standard plans for curved trackdimensions. .

B. USE OF SHEETING: When support of track or tracks is necessary during construction of theabove-mentioned facilities, interlocking steel sheeting, adequately braced and designed to carCooper E80 live-load plus 50 percent impact aIlowance is required. Soldier piles and laggingwiIl be permtted for track support ONL Y when required penetration of steel sheet piling cannotbe obtained, due to site-specific conditions that make steel sheet piling placement impracticable,in the opinion of the authorized, Amtrak design review engineer.i. For usual soil conditions and limited excavations, sheeting is required when the near-

track excavation extends beneath or nearer to the track than the Theoretical RailroadEmbankment Line. The Theoretical Railroad Embankment Line is defined as a line thatstarts at grade, ten foot from the centerline of the outer track, and extends downward,away from the track, at a slope of 1-1/2 horizontal to one verticaL.

2. For special soil conditions, such as soft organic soils and rock conditions, and for unusual

excavation conditions, temporary supports for excavations may be necessary even whenthe limits fall beyond the Theoretical Railroad Embankment Line, requiring site specificanalysis by a professional, geotechnical engineer.

3. See Sketch SK-l, "Normal Requirements for Sheet Piling Adjacent to Tracks".

C. Exploratory trenches, three feet deep and 15 inches wide in the form of an "H", with outside

dimensions matching the proposed outside dimensions of sheeting, shall be hand dug, prior toplacing and driving the sheeting, in any area where railroad or utility underground instaIlationsare known or suspected. These trenches are for exploratory purposes only, and shaIl bebackfilled and immediately compacted, in layers. This work shall be performed only in the

presence of a railroad inspector.

D. Absolute use of track is required while driving sheeting adjacent to running track. Track usageshaIl be prearrnged per standard procedures, through the Amtrak project representative.

E. Cavities adjacent to sheet piling, created by pile driving, shall be filled with sand, and any

disturbed ballast shall be restored and tamped immediately.

F. Sheet piling cutoffs

1. During constrction, sheeting shall be cut off at an elevation no higher than the top of tie.2. At the completion of construction activities involving the use of sheet piling, sheet piling

may be puIled if there will be no adverse impact to the railroad track support bed, asdetennined by the Amtrak site engineer. This will generaIly be pennitted when both ofthese conditions are met:a. the sheeting face is at least ten feet distant from the centerline of track, and

b. the bottom of the excavation that the sheeting supported prior to backfilling, does

not faIl within an assumed influence zone under the tracks. The assumed influence

Sheet piling that is to be left in-place, shall be cut off belO\v the ground linea. at least eighteen inches below final ground line at the sheeting, and

b. no higher than 24 inches below the elevation of the bottom of the nearest tiesSee Sketch SK- i, '"Normal Requirements for Sheet Piling Adjacent to Tracks".4.

G. The excavation adjacent to the track shall be covered, ramped and protected by handrails,barrcades and warning lights, as required by applicable safety regulations, and as directed byAmtrak.

H. Final backflling of excavation shall conform to project specifications.

L The Contractor shall provide Amtrak with a detailed schedule of proposed constructionoperations, detailing each step of the .proposed temporary constrction operations in proximityto Amtrak tracks, so that Amtrak may review and approve the proposed operations, and mayproperly inspect and monitor operations.

J. Drawings for the proposed temporary sheeting and shoring shall be signed and sealed by a

Licensed Professional Engineer. Complete design calculations, clearly referenced to the'drawings, and easy to review, shall be provided with submission of drawings.

K. Where site specific conditions impose insurountable restrictions to the design of temporaryconstruction confonnng to the limitations listed above, the design of temporary constrctionshall be developed in close coordination with Amtrak design review personneL. The ChiefEngineer, Strctures shall provide final approval of temporary construction that does not

conform to the above limitations.I. When Amtrak grants approval for sheeting closer than standard minimum clearances, the

Contractor shall develop a surey plan, if not already required by the project, for theadjacent tracks, to be conducted prior to, during, and after the temporary sheeting

construction operations. If settlement is detected, constrction operations shall be

suspended until the track has been returned to its initial condition, and stabilized, asdetermined by the Amtrak project site representative.

2. The Contractor shall stockpile ten (10) tons of approved ballast at the project site, andmaintain that amount in ready reserve, to allow for the possible need to restore trackprofile.

L. Particular care shall be taken in the planning, design and execution of temporary construction,

as relates to railroad slope protection and drainage facilities. Erosion and sediment control bestmanagement practices shall be designed and employed, as approved by Amtrak. Anyunintended disruption to railroad drainage facilities, caused by the temporary construction, shallbe promptly remedied, as directed by the Engineer, solely at the Contractor's cost.

SCOPE AND NATURE

There are many areas along the railroad corridor that are receiving storm water fromadjacent property that results in flooding during the smallest of storms, Increased stormwater flow to the railroad property increases deposits of excessive amounts ofsedimentation and could cause fouling of the track structure. With the introduction of theHigh Speed Rail Trains, passenger safety is of the utmost importance. Diminished tracksupport from flooding and sedimentation wil not be allowed.

It is Amtrak's policy to limit the resultant discharge and drainage of storm water from thedevelopment of adjacent properties to no more than pre-existing conditions, asdemonstrated by engineering analyses through governmental regulatory processes.

It is Amtrak's policy to protect the railroad nght-of-way from sediment, erosion and excessrunoff during all stages of construction activities on adjacent properties, as demonstrated byengineering analyses through governmental regulatory processes.

SPECIAL REFERENCE

The following policy is to augment Specification 02861 of EP3005, Pipeline OccupancyRequirements and Specifications, and other Amtrak I&C, design and construction standards,

PROCEDURE

The discharge of storm water onto railroad property wil be prohibited for all constructionprojects on or adjacent to Railroad property, unless the applicant can demonstrate that therewill be a "zero net runoff' result in the peak flow and total volume based on a 1 00 YearStorm event, and that receiving waters downstream wil not be impacted.

Computations indicating this design and suitable topographic plans, prepared by aProfessional Engineer, licensed in the state in which the work wil be performed, shall besubmitted to the Chief Engineer for approval at least 60 days in advance of construction. Ifthe drainage is to discharge into an existing drainage channel on or under the Railroad Rightof Way, a hydraulic analysis of the existing structures must be included.

Formal approval of the proposed design, by the appropriate governmental agency oragencies, must be submitted with the computations. Control of soil erosion andsedimentation must be demonstrated on the design plans in accordance with theappropriate state and local regulations.

3. APPROVAL OF PLANS

A. No entiy upon Railroad propert for the purpose of conducting surveys,field inspections, obtaining soil information. or any other purposeassociated with the design a.nd engineering of the proposed occupancy,will be permitted without a proper entiy permit (Form CR-17) prepared bythe offce of the Chief Engineer of the Railroad and executed by theapplicant. It is to be clearly understood that the issuance of such a permitdoes not constitute authority to proceed with the actual construction whichcannot begin until a formal agreement is finally executed by the RailroadCompany and permission is received by the owner from the designatedinspection agency of the Railroad to proceed.

B. Plans for proposed wire, cable. or conduit occupations shall be submitted

to and meet the approval of the Chief Engineer of the Railroad prior tostart of construction, These plans are to be prepared in sizes as small aspossible and are to be folded to an 8~ inch by 1 inch size (foldeddimensions) with a 1 ~ inch margin on the left-hand side and a 1 inchmargin on the top so that they can be secured in a file at the upper left-hand corner and stil be unfolded to full size without being removed fromthe file.

Also. after folding. the title block and other identification of the plans shallbe visible without the necessity of unfolding at the lower right-hand corner.Each plan shall bear an individually identifying number and an originaldate. together with subsequent revision dates. clearly identified on theplan so as to be readily apparent as to just what revisions were made andwhen.

All plans are to be individually folded and where more than one plan isinvolved, they shall be assembled into complete sets before submission tothe Railroad.

C, Plans shall be drawn to scale and show the following:

(See Plates I, II. IIA, II. IV and V, hereto attached)

1) Plan review of crossing or occupation in relation to all Railroad

facilties (See Plate I).

2

C.E.4March 1997

2) Location of wire, cable, or conduit (in feet) from nearest Railroad

. Mile Post, centerline of a Railroad bridge (giving bridge number), orcenter line of an existing or former passenger station. In all cases,the name of the County in which the proposed facilities are locatedmust be shown. In States where Townships, Ranges and Sectionsare used, give distance in feet to the nearest Section line andidentify the Section number, Township and Range.

3) Profile of ground on center line of pole or tower line, showing

clearances between top of rail and bottom of sag, as well asclearances from bottom wire or cable to top wire or cable of theRailroad's static, transmission, signal, trolley feeder andcommunication lines, catenary, and third rail, when present. Ifnone of these facilities are in existence at the point of crossing, theplan should so indicate. Actual under-clearances are to be shown(See Plate V for the minimum required clearances in non-electrifiedterritory).

4) Show all known propert lines, If wires, cables or conduits arewithin public highway limits, such limits should be clearly indicatedwith dimensions from center line.

5) The plan must be specific, as to:

a. Base diameter, height, class and bury of poles. Poles shall

be s.et no closer than 18'-0" from face of pole to center lineof nearest track. When necessary, however, each locationwill be analyzed to consider speed, traffc, etc.

b. Number of size, and material of power wires, as well asnumber of pairs in communication cables.

c. Nominal voltage of line.

d. Number of, location, size of, material of anchors and allguying for poles and arms.

c.E. 4

March i 997

NOTES: Double cross-arms and deadends with backguys arerequired on poles adjacent to track where wires or cableare crossing tracks (See Plate IIA), Any tower designsmust be accompanied by engineering computations anddata.

4. CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

A Power and communication lines shall be constructed in accordance withAmtrak's Electrification Standards and "Safety Rules for the Installationand Maintenance of Electric Supply and Communication lines, NationalElectrical Safety Code Handbook", (current issue). Casing pipes tocontain power or communication wires or cables having an outsidediameter of over four (4) inches shall be constructed in accordance withthe current issue of Amtrak's "Requirements and Specifications forPipeline Occupancy", USA, ENG 1604'dated November 1987.

B. Under special conditions, Railroad wil give consideration to occupationson its catenary structures, subject to the approval of the Chief Engineer,and the Railroad's policy governing such matters.

5. LONGITUDINAL OCCUPATIONS

Wires and cables running longitudinally along Railroad right of way shall beconstructed as close to Railroad propert lines as possible. For electncal powerwires and cables with voltages of 34,500 or over and communication cablescontaining over 1800 pairs, the following information must be submitted inaddition to the detail of the pole to configuration as called for on Plate IV of thesespecifications:

a. Voltage of circuit(s) or number of pairs.

b. Phase of electrical circuit(s).c. Number of electrical circuits.d. Size (AWG or CM) and material of wires or cables.e. Length of spans clearly indicated on drawing.

2. Provide a soil and rock profile of the blast zone.

3. Limit the peak particle velocity to two inches per second, except for certain sensitive

areas, such as tunnels, bridge piers and abutments, oilostatic duct lines, centralinstrument houses and underpinning. For these sensitive areas, limit maximum peakparticle velocity to between 0.5 inches per second and one inch per second,depending on the facilty,

4. Maintain a scale distance of 50 when maximum peak particle velocity is two inches

per second. Maintain an initial scale distance of 60 when maximum peak particlevelocity is limited to a range of 0.5 inches per second to one inch per second. Thisinitial scale distance may be adjusted to 50 after the initial blast, if conditions permit.

Scale distance = Distance from blast to structure (in feet)

VWeight of explosives per delay (in pounds)5. Use a non-electric detonation system whenever possible.
