Example: Task 1.3.6 Platform re-levelling & finishes and installation of anti-throw screen and glazing screen doors

1)Structural Design

As prescribed by the BCA, Australian Standards specifications, design loadings will need to address train derailment, floor loadings, wind loadings, air pressures, seismic loadings, crowd loadings and collision loadings.

Platform Finishes

The safety of the platform surface is paramount. Refer to Figure 26, critical requirements are:

● The platform cross section must have a minimum of 1:100 and a maximum 1:40 fall from the platform edge to the centre of the platform. The longitudinal gradient of the platform should also be considered in determining the platform cross fall.

● Platform edge and corresponding rail alignment must be level in the longitudinal direction.

● Ponding of water on the platform surface is unacceptable. The specific resolutions of platform structure, sub-base, surface falls, drainage, and finish are required.

● The platform surface must be slip-resistant in both wet and dry conditions as set out in the relevant slip resistant standards AS/NZS 4586, AS/NZS 4663 and HB 197.
