Project Description
Greater Anglia introduced a new fleet of trains into service consisting of two different manufacturers in a variety of classes.
SDS were appointed by Parker Technical Services to undertake external lighting calculations from concept to detailed design of the Fatality Wash area, Bogie Store, Service yard and replacement of the 25m lighting masts. The project required lighting facilities including the design of external walkways and the emergency escape route to the assembly point.
“ The £40m works convert and extend existing facilities, ready for a new fleet of trains”
Project Involvement
Day and night time site surveys including a baseline survey to record illuminance measurements to enhance the existing lighting where required.
Delivered GRIP stages 3-5 as part of a combined Form 001/002/003 submission, including option development with the design team and Network Rail approvals, development of the single option and completion of the detailed design information
Followed the project through with consistent review processes (IDCs) which ensured a thorough, immaculate delivery of our services in addition to appointment as the contractor’s responsible engineer (CRE).

High efficacy external lighting arrangement providing safe access to the facility via wall lighting, emergency fittings and column lighting to the adjoining site boundary
Low-energy LED lighting with minimal upwards light component to reduce sky-glow during night-time operations
All lighting calculations and designs were completed in accordance with Network Rail and Greater Anglia requirements and specification
Cost effective practical design solution
