scope:

This Standard applies to Building and Station Structure assets owned by LU.

This Standard defines the civil engineering requirements for Building and Station Structure assets through the following life cycle stages:

a) Inception and design

b) Construction, installation, testing & commissioning

c) Inspection

d) Analytical assessment

e) Condition assessment and certification

f) Maintenance

g) Strengthening and renewal

h) Decommissioning

Purpose

The purpose of this Standard is to define the whole life cycle civil and structural engineering requirements for Building and Station Structure assets. These assets comprise:

a) Building Structures

I) Office blocks

II) Storage buildings

III) Workshops

IV) Depots

V) Train washing facilities

VI) Sub-stations

VII) Roof structures and supports

b) Station Structures

I) Station buildings

II) Ticket Halls

III) Platforms

IV) Canopies (Entrance and Platform)

V) Pump rooms

VI) Equipment rooms

VII) Control rooms

VIII) Staff mess and locker rooms

c) Building and Station Ancillary Structures

I) Stairs

II) Ramps

III) Ladders

IV) Handrails

V) Barriers

VI) Impact protection

VII) Escalator support structures

VIII) Lift support structures

In defining requirements specifically applicable to Building and Station Structure assets this Standard complements LU Standard 1-050 (Civil Engineering - Common Requirements) that defines mandatory requirements generally applicable to all Civil Engineering assets, including the Building and Station Structure assets.

A supporting Manual of Good Practice G-053 gives guidance and explanation on Building and Station Structure assets.

Building and Station Structure assets serve a functional requirement which is provided by;

a) civil and structural elements together with

b) finishes,

c) drainage and

d) electrical and mechanical services.

This standard covers the civil and structural engineering aspects of the asset.

This standard does not cover the functional requirement of the asset, the architectural appearance, the finishes or the plant and equipment.
