1 TION OVEVIEW & TIMELINE Introduction Development Stages Stage ENBLING WOKS uckland Transport is developing a station for Parnell, adjacent to the Mainline Steam workshops to the east of uckland Domain and adjacent to Cheshire Street (referred to as the Mainline Steam site). The station will service and integrate both the residential and commercial Parnell communities, and the surrounding areas of interest. The project seeks to: Create a high quality rail station with strong direct connections to key catchments including Parnell Village, the uckland War Memorial Museum, uckland University, and Carlaw Park; Create a high quality heritage destination focused around the old Newmarket Station which will be relocated to the site; and Create a fully integrated precinct that promotes improved connections and access. The project will be developed in two stages. FO FUTHE ENQUIIES CONTCT: uckland Transport Phone Stage will involve enabling works to be undertaken in the / Christmas period, when train services will be stopped (referred to as a block-of-line). The enabling works are required to facilitate the future station construction. These works include: Earthworks to lower the track in order to achieve the appropriate grade for station platforms; etaining structures and/or batter slopes; Track realignment to accommodate the station platforms. elocation of the existing underpass which provides access to/from uckland Domain, in order to maintain existing pedestrian access.

3 ENBLING WOKS Construction Outline The proposed enabling works at the site are required in order to achieve a : grade on future platforms associated with a new Parnell ailway Station. The works will involve: Track lowering along the existing corridor Two retaining walls are required on the western side of the rail corridor Batter slopes are required on both the eastern and western side of the rail corridor e-confi guration of the Mainline Steam track infrastructure; The removal of the existing precast concrete pipe underpass, due to the depth of the track lowering extending into the structure. The construction of a new underpass to the north of the existing underpass, some m in length and. m wide, with a clearance of. m; and Earthworks are required in order to undertake the track lowering and retaining structures. These works require a major block-of-line (BOL no trains running on this section of line) because of the scale, complexity, and track and signalling activities. The next available opportunity to undertake works during a BOL is during the / Christmas period. Track lowering The track lowering will involve: Dismantling the existing rails and sleepers to stockpile within the rail corridor; emoving ballast (aggregates) to a depth of approximately mm stockpiling within the rail corridor. Excavating additional cut to the subgrade level of up to.m from the top of the existing rail level; Constructing formation using GP; Check grade / level/ cross-fall; Lay ballast aggregate to a depth of approximately mm; and ssemble and lay rail track to the position, level and grade. emoval of existing underpass The removal of the existing underpass is required to facilitate track lowering. This work will involve: Lowering the track formation down to mid culvert height, then cut down the existing underpass culvert at mid height and remove the wing walls; Pedestrian access to/from uckland Domain will be maintained throughout the period of works via the existing underpass and/or a temporary rail crossing. Construction of new underpass new underpass will be constructed works which will involve: Excavating to the level of the underpass for subgrade preparation; Construction of underpass involving precast concrete wing walls and precast concrete box units; Water proofi ng the sections prior to backfi lling and constructing the rail support and track. Earthworks Signifi cant earthworks is required to be undertaken in order to lower the existing tracks. Construction earthworks will generally involve: Excavating soils to form suitable slopes; Placement of structural fi ll, where required; Backfi lling retaining walls with compacted granular fi ll.
