Mt Eden Main Works Description 2.1 Overview of Works
The main works involve construction along several active work fronts concurrently within the Mt Eden area at any one time, to enable the redevelopment of Mt Eden Station and establish the CRL tie-ins to the NAL. Works will be carried out in a staged fashion. The construction staging, and methodologies are described in greater detail in the CEMP. Within the main works area, there are already other works occurring in accordance with the Mt Eden Enabling Works (OPW60350039) and Normanby Road Early Works (OPW60351423) outline plan packages. In summary, the main works involve: • •
• • • • • •
Ground improvements, in the form of deep soil mixing (contiguous piling and grout injection), within the NAL corridor between Mt Eden Road Bridge and Normanby Road; Bulk excavations and construction of retaining walls along the NAL to provide for the rail trenches and installation of new tracks. The excavation will encounter basalt, which will be removed via rock-breaking and blasting. In places, softer ground conditions are anticipated to be encountered, which may require the use of sheet piles; Construction of the eastern and western crossover structures that enable the CRL rail lines to tie-in to the NAL; Construction of the Porters Avenue and Fenton Street pedestrian and cyclist bridges. Construction of the Normanby Road grade separation bridge, including regrading of Normanby Road and realigning the Boston Road roundabout; Redevelopment of the existing NAL platform; Construction of the CRL platform and the foundations for the Mt Eden Station building and the ventilation building; and Operation of the TBM, including the conveying of spoil material from the tunnels and the refuelling and general maintenance of the TBM within CSA 4.
2.2 Construction Staging and Methodology The main works will be divided into several stages within the various work areas. Generally, the works along the NAL are divided into two stages to allow works on the northern (downmain) or southern (upmain) sections to correspond with the ‘Single Line Running’ of train services through the construction area. Works within the Mt Eden station area are divided into 12 stages. Stages 1-4 have already been addressed in the Mt Eden Enabling Works outline plan package, and stages 5-12 will be undertaken as part of the main works. For the new Mt Eden Station building and ventilation building, construction of the foundations and building structures will be undertaken as part of stages 5-12, while the finishing of the buildings, including internal and external fittings, will be completed as part of the future public realm reinstatement. The construction staging, and methodologies are described in sections 2.3 and 2.4 of the CEMP.
