PREFACE
This Approval in Principle Documentation for Bridges has been prepared by URS to support a
planning application under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for planning
permission for the regeneration of Brent Cross Cricklewood without complying with conditions
attached to Planning Permission Ref No: C/17559/08 (“the 2010 Permission”) granted on 28 October
2010. The primary purpose of the application is to make adjustments to the planning conditions of
the 2010 Permission to reflect the evolution in the scheme design and the revised strategy for
delivery in accordance with the clear policy commitment to achieve comprehensive development of
the regeneration area.
The Application Forms (BXC1) and Planning Statement Addendum (BXC4) which support this Section
73 application provide full details of the conditions that are proposed to be altered and why those
alterations are necessary. The specific changes can briefly be summarised as follows:
• Creation of a footbridge named the Living Bridge over the North Circular Road to improve
pedestrian connectivity across the site and provide better integration between the northern
and southern components of the development;
• Alterations to the layout of development within Brent Cross East Development Zone (ie
around remodelled Brent Cross Shopping Centre) including creating the interface with the
Living Bridge, as well as consequential amendments to the alignment of the River Brent;
• Alterations to the phasing of the development to bring more of the Brent Cross East
Development Zone into Phase 1 including the new bus station; and
• Alterations and improvements to the open space and public realm provision, including the
reconfiguration of Brent Cross Square and Market Square to integrate with the Living Bridge.
These, and other changes, are designed to enable the strategic vision for comprehensive
regeneration of the site to be delivered in a timely, effective and beneficial manner.
The principal changes relate to the approved Parameter Plans, and attached to this Preface for ease
of reference is a schedule which explains the proposed amendments to each Parameter Plan. A
revised Illustrative Masterplan contained in the Revised Design & Access Statement (BXC3) has been
prepared to show one way in which the scheme could be delivered in accordance with the revised
Parameter Plans.
The proposals contain identical quantums of development floorspace, and its distribution across the
Development Zones is consistent with the Zonal Floorspace Schedule (Appendix 5 of the Revised
Development Specification & Framework 2009) approved under the 2010 Permission.
The introduction of the Living Bridge is a beneficial addition to the Critical Infrastructure to be
delivered by the scheme, further breaking down barriers across the A406 North Circular Road and
providing enhanced integration between the northern and southern sides of the town centre. The
phasing of the scheme is proposed to be amended to enlarge the Primary Development Package (ie
Phase 1) from that previously consented. This is fully explained in the Planning Statement
Addendum (BXC4), but the principal change is the delivery of the Brent Cross East Development
Zone in full (rather than being split over 2 phases) together with an expanded commitment to
deliver major items of Critical Infrastructure which are currently included in Phases 2 and 3 under
the 2010 Permission -‐ the additional Phase 1 infrastructure linked to development in Brent Cross
East Zone will facilitate delivery of the town centre south of the A406 North Circular Road as well as
PREFACE
enabling the full Brent Cross East Zone to be delivered in the first phase. A table at the end of this
Preface identifies the changes to floorspace in Phase 1 by Development Zone, and also shows the
remaining floorspace in each Development Zone post Phase 1 which will be delivered in a
subsequent phase.
The revised Indicative Construction Programme in the Construction Impact Assessment Addendum
(BXC21) shows that despite the enlarged scope of Phase 1, overall delivery of this floorspace will
occur over a similar timescale to that set out in the previous Indicative Construction Programme.
The enlarged Phase 1 will provide a greater commitment to invest in the initial stage of the
development, including the additional critical infrastructure items, and will provide an even stronger
basis for the comprehensive regeneration of the site as a whole in accordance with local and
regional planning policy.
All of the documents submitted in support of the original planning application have been reviewed
in light of the proposed alterations to the conditions attached to the 2010 Permission, as well as any
other change in circumstances.
Approval in Principle Documentation for Bridges (March and November 2008) was submitted in
support of the application documentation that led to the 2010 Permission. For completeness this
Approval in Principle Documentation for Bridges contains all revised plans now submitted, as well as
those previously approved as part of the 2010 Permission that are not to be updated.
References in this document to ‘Development Partners’, ‘Applicant/s ’ or ‘Developer/s ’ are to be
taken to mean the Brent Cross Partners in respect of Phase 1A (North), Phase 1B (North) and Phase 2
(North) of the Development and CRL in respect of the other Phases and Sub-‐Phases of the
Development.

3. PROPOSED STRUCUTRE
3.1 Description of structure
The proposed structure is a five span steel composite bridge of ladder beam construction with
reinforced earth approach embankments. The proposed structure will replace the existing
Tempelhof Bridge and carry Tempelhof Avenue on an adjusted horizontal and vertical
alignment. The construction of the new bridge is in association with planning proposals for the
redevelopment of the Brent Cross Cricklewood shopping complex site. The structure will also
carry a services corridor for the new development.
Span 2 crosses a newly proposed corridor for the River Brent and newly proposed alignment
for Prince Charles Drive. The third span crosses the existing A406 North circular dual
carriageway and associated slip roads either side. The fourth span crosses the proposed new
alignment for Tilling Road. Spans 4 and 5 also carry Tempelhof Avenue above a newly
proposed access road into the Holiday Inn hotel which runs directly below Tempelhof way on a
similar alignme
The structure may need to be constructed in phases in order to open the road to traffic prior to
demolition of the existing bridge. Demolition of the existing structure will not be carried out until
the parts of the bridge carrying the new road have been completed. Demolition of the existing
bridge is to be covered by a separate AIP and is not considered in this document.
A service road for the new development is proposed under the northern end of Tempelhof
Way. This is likely to be carried beneath the new Temelhof Way in a reinforced concrete box
type structure which will join onto the ladder beam construction at the north end. This design
is to be developed and is not included in this AIP.
3.2 Structural type
The superstructure shall comprise a five span continuous steel composite deck of ladder
beam construction with a concrete slab supporting the highway. The intermediate piers will be
circular reinforced concrete columns positioned below the deck main girders. The end
supports will be full height reinforced cantilever concrete abutments.
3.3 Foundation type
All foundations shall comprise pile caps supported by cast in –situ concrete piles founded
within the underlying London Clays strata.
3.4 Span arrangements
The structure is made up of five spans with a nominal total length of 155m. The span
configuration commencing from the north to south is 36.0m, 47.5m, 48.15m, 27.85m and
27.85m.
The highest skew angle is at the southern approach spans and is approximately 4 degrees.
3.5 Articulation arrangements
Longitudinal fixity for the deck shall be provided at pier 2. Transverse fixity shall be provided
at each support position. Temperature movements shall be accommodated at the abutment
locations though a conventional movement joint detail or semi-integral construction.
All bearings shall be proprietary pot type bearings.

3.6 Classes and Levels
3.6.1 Consequence Class
Consequence class shall be CC2
3.6.2 Reliability Class
Reliability class shall be RC2
3.6.3 Inspection Level
Inspection level shall be IL2
3.7 Types of road restraint systems
The deck and approach embankment walls will be provided with metal parapets 1.5m high
with mesh infill in accordance with BS EN 1317 having a performance class N2 (normal
containment level) and working width not greater than W2. The chosen system will be
consistent with the approved road safety strategy for the scheme.
3.8 Proposed arrangements for Maintenance and Inspection
3.8.1 Traffic management
To be determined by the Local Highways Authority, however, inspections and maintenance

activities to the underside of the part of the structure crossing the A406 North Circular Road
will generally be carried out during lane closures, which given the volume of traffic may need
to be during the night. Access for inspection or maintenance activities at deck level, such as
replacement of waterproofing, will involve temporary closures of lanes or the complete
structure. Pedestrian diversion routes would be via Tilling Road, the proposed Living Bridge
and Prince Charles Drive.
3.8.2 Access arrangements for inspection and maintenance
Access for inspections and maintenance of the top and side spans will be from the road
above. Access for inspection and maintenance of the walls and deck soffit will be by Mobil
Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) from the road beneath the structure.
For the new cantilevered abutments, an inspection gallery is provided to facilitate access to
the bearings and facilitate inspection to the underside of the movement joints. Access to the
inspection gallery will be from access hatches positioned on the faces of the abutments at
bearing shelf level. Access to the doors will be via temporary scaffold or mobile access
platform from the road below using a road closure.
Bearing replacement will be carried out by jacking between the abutment bearing shelf and the
underside of the deck end diaphragm.
3.9 Environment and sustainability
Conventional construction materials are proposed and therefore no significant sustainability

issues are foreseen. Consideration will be given to minimising future maintenance
requirements through careful choice of materials for waterproofing and parapets along with
appropriate detailing.
BXC 20
October 2013

The proposed construction methodology aims to minimise the time required for partial or
complete closure of the A406 North Circular Road.
3.10 Durability, Materials and finishes
In order to produce a low maintenance structure, and hence reduce future demand on repair
materials, it is proposed to adopt Weathering Steel for the girders, which does not require
painting during construction, or maintenance repainting except for aesthetic reasons.

EN 1992-1-1:2004: ∆dev = 10mm
Steelwork Finishes
The main girders are to be fabricated using weathering steel with painted exposed surfaces to
the edge girders. Parapets (if steel) will be protected by a paint system in accordance with the
Specification for Highway Works. The paint system will be in accordance with the
requirements of BD35/06 applied in accordance with the SHW Series 1900.
Waterproofing
The deck slab will be waterproofed using a permitted waterproofing system in accordance with
SHW Clause 2004 and in accordance with the requirements of BD47/99 and IAN 96/07.
Where required by the selected waterproofing system, a 20mm thick layer of sand asphalt
should be adopted in accordance with SHW clause 2003. Where no sand asphalt layer is
required, the waterproofing system should be overlaid with a 45mm layer of hot rolled asphalt
(HRA) binder course to SHW clause 943. Red indicator mesh will be installed directly above
all bituminous additional protective layers to spray applied waterproofing systems and will be
applied when the base course is still warm to ensure good embedment.
Sub-surface drainage and falls in the deck shall be in accordance with the requirements of
BD47/99 and BA 47/99.
Buried concrete elements in permanent contact with soil will have two coats bituminous paint
or equivalent as SHW Clause 2004 applied.
3.11 Risks and hazards considered for design, execution, maintenance and demolition.
Consultation with and/or agreement from CDM co-ordinator
The main risks and hazards identified for consideration at design stage are as follows:
 Identifying suitable traffic management systems to protect construction personnel and

road users whilst the works are carried out.
 Ensuring the integrity and safe functioning of the existing Tempelhof bridge until traffic
can be transferred on to the new structure.
 Careful consideration of the working environment where space is limited. Consideration

of access and phasing of the works so that operations can be safely carried out.
Identification of construction methods which will most suit the constricted environment.
 Providing protection to deep excavations and piling activities with suitable vehicle
restraint systems such as temporary H4a vertical concrete barriers..
 Identifying suitable options for heavy lifting activities for the installation of the main deck
components.
 Safe demolition of the existing structure.
BXC 20
October 2013
8
 Identifying suitable design, checking and supervisory requirements for all temporary
works so that they are adequately designed, correctly installed and maintained.
Preliminary options are under consideration and will require more detailed examination of risks
and hazards in due course. Relevant extracts from the designer's health and safety risk
assessment for the preliminary stage will be included in Appendix F when full consideration
has been completed.
3.12 Estimated cost of proposed structure together with other structural forms considered,
(including where appropriate proprietary manufactured structure), and the reasons for
their rejection (including comparative whole life costs with dates of estimates)
Capital cost of the proposed structure is in the order of £47m.
Alternative structural forms considered include:
 A single span tied or bow string arch. The structure would be supported by 2 no. parallel
arches; each formed of a fabricated steel box beam. The arch rise would be 20m and
transverse bracing would be required between the arch members to provide stability. The
steel and concrete composite deck would span transversely between longitudinal beams,
which are supported by the arch hangers.
 A two or three span through truss arrangement was also considered. This would be
formed of two parallel vierendeel trusses, with a steel and concrete composite deck
spanning transversely between the trusses. The trusses would be approximately 8m
deep.
The above solutions were rejected on grounds of cost, construction issues and aesthetics in
relation to maintain the masterplan vision for the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration
project.
Whole life costs will be calculated and included in the final AIP.
3.13 Proposed arrangements for construction
3.13.1 Construction of the structure
The structure may need to be constructed in phases in order to open the re-aligned Tempelhof
Way to traffic prior to demolition of the existing bridge. Demolition of the existing structure will
not be carried out until the parts of the bridge carrying the new Tempelhof Way have been
completed.
Carriageway possessions and lane closures within the slip roads will be required for the
construction of the intermediate supports to spans 2, 3 and 4, the installation of the new deck
and demolition of the existing. Works shall be planned to keep the number and duration of
these possessions to a minimum.
3.13.2 Traffic Management
Weekend carriageway possessions of the slip roads and main carriageway will be needed for
the installation of the new bridge deck above the existing north circular road. The slip roads to
A406 North Circular road will need to be reduced down to single lane running to enable the
new intermediate supports to be constructed.
BXC 20
October 2013
9
Weekend carriageway possessions of the A406 and its associated slip roads will be required
to safely demolish the existing Tempelhof Bridge.
Traffic management requirements for construction of the structure will be considered in due
course. Further traffic management will be required for demolition of the old structure, this will
be covered in a separate AIP covering demolition.
3.13.3 Services Diversions
It is understood that the following services are in the vicinity of foundations for the bridge and it
may be necessary to divert or re-locate these services in advance of construction, as well as
providing adequate protection to the services during construction.

3.13.4 Interface with existing structures
The alignment of the new Tempelhof bridge clashes with the alignment of the existing bridge.
In order to alleviate congestion issues, it is proposed to construct the new bridge in two
phases. In phase one, the existing Tempelhof bridge will remain open to traffic and
approximately two thirds of the new bridge will be constructed. Traffic will then be diverted
onto the new structure so that the existing bridge can be demolished and the final third of the
new bridge constructed. There will be a short period where a temporary structure will be
needed to divert traffic off the existing Tempelhof bridge whilst span 4 of the new bridge is
constructed. The footprint of the new foundations overlap those of the existing. Staged
construction of the new foundations will be conducted so that the existing foundations can be
demolished and the new foundations completed. Existing piles may be incorporated into the
new foundations if their capacity and founding level can be proven to be satisfactory.

5. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
5.1 Methods of analysis proposed for superstructure, substructure and foundations
Superstructure
The effects of dead and superimposed dead loads, live loads, temperature, wind, and
concrete shrinkage will be analysed using a grillage/space frame model in the LUSAS or SAM-
LEAP5 computer programs.
Substructures
The wing walls will be designed by manual methods to carry the loads applied by earth
pressure and surcharge from the retained fill.
Foundations
The piles will be analysed using the P-Group or M-Pile computer programs.
5.2 Description and diagram of idealised structure to be used for analysis
A diagram of the idealised structure will be included in an appendix of the AIP. A 3-

dimensional beam and shell finite element model will be used to model the structural
arrangement. Elements will be placed on the section centreline, with corresponding gross
sections assigned.
5.3 Assumptions intended for calculation of structural element stiffness
Gross cross sectional properties for the analysis shall be in accordance with BS EN 1994
Section 5.4. Cracked section properties with allowance for shear lag shall be considered in
areas of hopping over the intermediate supports. Un-cracked section properties with
allowance for shear lag shall be used in sagging zones.
5.4 Proposed range of soil parameters to be used in the design of earth retaining elements
General properties for 6N/6P backfill materials:
Density = 20kN/m3 Min φ = 30° Ka = 0.33 Ko = 0.50 Kp = 3.00
Max φ = 45° Ka = 0.17 Ko = 0.29 Kp = 5.83

6. GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
6.1 Acceptance of recommendations of the Section 8 of the Geotechnical Report to be used

in the design and reasons for any proposed changes
The Geotechnical Design Report is not yet available. An addendum to the AIP will be issued
when the GDR is available.
6.2 Summary of design for highway structure in the Geotechnical Design Report
The Geotechnical Design Report is not yet available. An addendum to the AIP will be issued
when the GDR is available.
6.3 Differential settlement to be allowed for in the design of the structure
The piles are expected to extend into previously undisturbed London Clay. The piles will be
specified to limit vertical displacements to less than 10mm. Total settlement of 10mm and
differential settlement of 10mm between abutments will therefore be considered. This criteria
will be reviewed when the Geotechnical Design Report becomes available.
6.4 If Geotechnical Report is not yet available, state when the results are expected and list
the sources of information used to justify the preliminary choice of foundations
The Geotechnical Design Report is expected to be completed during detailed design for the
bridge. The current geotechnical information has been based on existing ground
investigations

Design supervision level 2
7.2 If Category 3, name of proposed Independent Checker
Not applicable.
7.3 Erection proposals or temporary works for which Types S and P Proposals will be
required, listing structural parts of the permanent structure affected with reasons
Piling Activities
Lane closures or diversions will be needed on the slip roads to secure working space for piling
activities, H4a high containment recessed temporary vertical concrete barriers are likely to be
needed to protect the works.
Excavations
The footprint of the new pier foundations conflict with the existing slip roads. Lane closures or
diversions will be needed to secure working space. Excavations for the foundations are over
1.2m deep and will typically require cofferdams to provide support. H4a high containment
recessed temporary vertical barriers will be required to protect slip road users from the deep
excavations.
Steel Erection
Erection of steelwork for the main deck and the placement of in situ concrete for the deck slab
will need to be carried out during a number of night-time closures of the A406 so that lifting
operations can be safely conducted. Due to Network management issues on the A406, the
number of closures will need to be kept to a minimum with traffic returned to the carriageway
during peak traffic hours. Heavy duty cranes and a suitable erection sequence will need to be
determined to ensure the steelwork is secure and that there is no danger to the travelling
public during the temporary condition.
Temporary Structures for Concrete Pours
Temporary hoardings, crash decks and appropriate construction techniques will be required to
protect the travelling public from concreting and other construction activities.
Demolition of the existing Tempelhof Bridge
An AIP will be required to support proposals for the demolition of the existing Tempelhof
bridge. A suitable demolition sequence will need to be identified. Temporary propping of the
spans is likely to be needed to safely demolish the structure.
BXC 20

Temporary Structure for the diversion of traffic off the existing Tempelhof Bridge
during the construction sequence
To alleviate local traffic management issues, it is proposed that Tempelhof Way will remain
open to traffic for the duration of the works. Due to vertical alignment issues between new and
existing construction, it will be necessary to provide a temporary diversion for Tempelhof Way
at the south end. This will involve constructing a temporary deck and embankment alongside
the existing Tempelhof Bridge at the south end so that traffic can be diverted off the side of it
so that the existing end supports (abutments) can be demolished and the new end spans
constructed. The design of the temporary deck and approach embankments will require an
AIP.
Type of Proposal
To be agreed with the Technical Approval Authority during the course of the design.

1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway
Over structure: A5 Link Road.
Under structure: Midland Main Railway Line and disused land
1.2 Permitted traffic speed
Over Structure: 40 mph
Under Structure: N/A
The structure is in an urban environment and crosses over a busy railway line
2 SITE DETAILS
The bridge carries the A5 Link Road over the Main Midland Line.
3 PROPOSED STRUCUTRE
The A5 Link Road is carried by a nine-span bridge totalling approximately 238

metres. The approach east and west spans are made up of precast
prestressed concrete beams and the main crossing consists of two steel truss
spans.
The bridge has a paved width between kerbs of 14.5m and carries two lanes
of traffic, two bus/cycle lanes and two nominal 2.5-metre footways. The
overall width between the deck edge stringcourses on the west approach
span is 20.7m,approximately 30m on the east approach span and 24.834m
on the main crossing.
The east approach is designed to butt up to the proposed building

developments on either side of the road.
Report No D112186/AIP/312 February 2008

Issue 1

3.2 Structural type
The approach spans are made up of prestressed concrete “M/UM” type beam
deck with continuous insitu concrete deck slab.
The main crossing consists of two triangulated steel truss spans supporting
transverse beams and a concrete deck slab.
3.3 Foundation type
The abutments and internal piers will be supported on bored insitu piles
joined together by a reinforced concrete pile cap.
Approximately 19 metres for each of the approach spans. The main crossing
is made up of a 75.5-metre and a 29.5-metre span.
The skew angle of the main crossing is approximately 20.
All nine spans will be designed as simply supported. Longitudinal fixity will be
provided at the central pier of the west approach spans and at one of the
internal piers of the east approach spans.
Fixed bearings on the common pier between the two steel truss spans will
provide longitudinal fixity to the main crossing.
Transverse fixity will be provided at each span separately.
Asphaltic plug joints will be provided at each end of the bridge to prevent
disruption of the carriageway surfacing.
H4a containment parapets in accordance with IAN 44/05 (IRRRS Revision 1)

- min 1250mm high above adjoining paved surface will be provided on the
main crossing and the south side of the west approach spans.
It is envisaged that a non-structural joint would sit between the approach span
and the proposed buildings. No road restraint system will be provided at these

spans in the long term. During the construction phase a temporary barrier
may be required.
Inspections and maintenance of the structure will ideally be carried out during
lane closures put in place for general routine maintenance to the road
network. If required, specially arranged lane closures will be implemented to
carry out the relevant inspection and maintenance works.
3.7.2 Access
Access for inspection and maintenance of the walls, bearings, underside of

movement joints and deck soffit of the approach spans will be provided using
mobile scaffold units.
Access to the underside of the main crossing spans will require special
arrangements to be made with the railway authority.
Bearing replacement will be carried out by jacking between the abutment or

Series 2000 of the Specification for Highway Works.
The top of the bridge deck will be protected with bridge deck waterproofing in
accordance with Series 2000 of the Specification for Highway Works.
All exposed concrete surfaces will be impregnated in accordance with BD

43/03.
3.9 Risks and hazards considered
Refer to the Design Risk Assessment. A copy is included in Appendix F.
3.10 Estimated cost of proposed structure together with other structural

forms considered, including where appropriate proprietary
manufactured structure, and the reasons for their rejection including
comparative whole life costs with dates of estimates
Brief description of options:
The options considered for the main railway crossing were:-

1. Single span steel tied-arch
2. Two-span steel box girder deck

Issue 1
5
Reasons for rejection

1. Rejected on the grounds of high costs and maintenance issues
2. Rejected on the grounds of Health & Safety, box girders create an
undesirable confined space environment
Each of the options provides an appropriate technical solution. A two-span

steel truss structure is the most buildable option and is therefore the proposed
solution to cross over the main obstacle.
For the approach spans, the proposed precast prestressed concrete beam
deck is favoured to a steel-composite deck due to maintenance
considerations.
The bridge will be constructed off-line. However, traffic management may be

required on local roads and for certain construction operations due to the
structure being in a busy urban environment.
Prior to the detailed design stage, investigation will be undertaken to establish

the existence of services and accommodate their diversion in the final design.
The west approach spans of the proposed structure will intercept an existing
industrial building that will need to be partly or totally demolished. The
demolishment and refurbishment of the building does not form part of this
report.

1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway
Over structure: Not applicable – Pedestrian crossing
Under structure: Midland Main Line railway lines
Over Structure: N/A
None
2 SITE DETAILS
The proposed structure crosses over twelve railway lines and three platforms
at a new railway station.
3 PROPOSED STRUCTURE
The proposed footbridge is a four span Vierendeel truss type structure

supporting a steel orthotropic deck.

Issue 2
1
The orthotropic steel deck comprises a deck plate supported by longitudinal

stiffeners, and transverse box beam members at approximately 3.5m centres.
The Vierendeel truss consists of a box beam and light fitting top chord, and a
steel angle bottom chord.
There is a proprietary cladding system fully enclosing the deck along its full
length to provide protection over the railway lines.
The deck is supported on reinforced concrete column piers and wall

abutments. Both the piers and the abutments are supported on piled
foundations.
All steelwork will be prefabricated and lifted into position on site.
3.2 Structural type
Four span continuous structure
3.3 Foundation type
The foundation types have not been determined yet but piled foundations are
currently shown for the intermediate piers and the abutments. This selection
of foundation type is subject to further amendment when the underlying
geology has been established.
The superstructure will have a skew of 21 degrees. The bridge will comprise a
four span continuous through truss deck with the approach spans
considerably longer than the intermediate spans.
The total clear skew span of the bridge between abutments will be
approximately 90m.
At the ends of the bridge, movement joints will be provided. There will be no
intermediate joints along the span of the bridge and fixity will be provided at
the central piers.

Issue 2
2
The bridge deck over the intermediate piers and the abutments will be fitted
with non-elastomeric bearings.
Structural members of the footbridge, i.e. vierendeel truss and screen

predominantly serve as pedestrian restraints. Additionally, glass balustrades
and stainless steel handrails are employed on the inside of the trusses to act
as pedestrian guardrails.
The permanent works will incorporate suitable facilities, and be designed to

enable the superstructure to be jacked under permanent load effects to
enable bearing replacement without a need for temporary works other than
suitable access plant and load spreader plates.
Inspections and substantial maintenance activities (such as replacement of

bearings) to the outside of the structure will require possession of tracks.
3.7.2 Access
Access for inspection and maintenance of the inside of the footbridge will be
via the approach roads leading to the bridge and the interior of the bridge
itself.
For works connected to the outside of the bridge over the railways, access will
be through Network rail property using a mobile hoist. Track possessions will
be required for works within the Network rail boundary.

The capital cost for the proposal is approximately £??????. Whole life costs
have not been calculated as the proposed modifications are considered the
only viable option.
TBC
TBC -The existence of Statutory Undertakers services is expected in the

vicinity of this structure and may require diversions.
There are existing structures immediately to the south and north of the
proposed bridge and therefore the structural works will be affected by the
existing nearby structures. Arrangements will be made to maintain access
over the old structures during construction of the new bridge.

1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway

Over structure: M1 North Link Road
Under structure: A406 (East) and A5 (West)

Over Structure: 50 mph (TBC)
Under Structure: 50 mph (TBC)

The proposed structure carries a live road and must be maintained during
construction.
The construction of the proposed western wingwalls will be very close to an
existing structure.
2 SITE DETAILS

The underbridge carries the M1 North Link Road over the proposed A406
(East) and A5 (West).

The proposed structure will carry the existing M1 link road over the proposed
A5 (Southbound) and A406 (Northbound) connector roads.
The existing M1 link road is on embankment at the proposed bridge site as it
approaches the existing steel viaduct to the West. The proposed bridge will
carry the M1 over the connector roads in a single span.
3.2 Structural type

The proposed bridge will be a closed form reinforced concrete portal structure
constructed from M - beams supported on reinforced concrete frames. The
structure will be fully integral. The embankments will be retained by

Issue 2

reinforced soil walls. The wingwalls, which splay out at approximately 45o, are
also formed from reinforced soil.
3.3 Foundation type

The abutments will be reinforced concrete frames supported on piles
The embankments on the approach to the bridge will be retained by
reinforced soil retaining walls behind the abutment frames..

Single clear square span of 22.739m between abutments. The bridge is
skewed to the M1 link at approximately 9º and has a clear skewed span of
approximately 23m.

Fully-integral abutments.
The deck beams will be supported on the abutment capping beam and then
cast monolithic with the abutment.

Metal parapets 1.0m high with mesh infill in accordance with BS EN 1317
having performance class N2 (normal containment level) and working width
class not greater than W2.
If required, specially arranged lane closures will be implemented to carry out

the relevant inspection and maintenance works. Underside inspections will be
carried out by mobile hoist during lane closures
3.7.2 Access
Access will be achieved on foot and/or with mobile hoist. No fixed access will
be provided.

Estimated cost - £540,000
Brief description of other options
The options considered were:-
1. Single span composite steel-concrete deck (painted or weathering steel)

Issue 2
4
2. Single span insitu concrete deck
3. Abutments constructed using high modulus steel sheet piles
4. Jacked or slid box
5. Abutment construction within cofferdam with temporary Bailey Bridge
6. Construction in two walves using bored piles for abutments
1. Viable alternative but economic design likely to result in a deeper

construction depth.
2. 23m span considered to be un-economic for insitu construction unless

slab is voided. Precast beams minimises temporary works and falsework.
3. Possible alternative depending on ground conditions
4. Top down construction is a more economic solution
5. Possible if road can be diverted
6. Significant traffic restrictions and extended construction period
Each of the options provides an appropriate technical solution. A single span

structure comprising M and UM pre-stressed concrete beams has the lowest
anticipated estimated capital and whole life cost (TBC) and is therefore the
proposed solution.
A temporary diversion of the existing slip road will be constructed to the east
of the existing to allow for uninterrupted access to the bridge site
Statutory Undertakers services (TBC) within the vicinity of the structure will be
diverted

Issue 2
5
The existing M1 North Link viaduct wingwall is very close to the south corner
of west abutment of the proposed but the impact of this on construction will be
small.
By using reinforced soil for the retaining walls, the new bridge minimizes the
depth of excavations and consequently mitigates any instability of the existing
foundations

wind, concrete shrinkage will be analysed using a 3 Dimensional model in the
LUSAS or SAM-LEAP5 computer programs.
At the ends of the Precast ‘M’ and ‘UM’ beams, there will be hogging
moments due to the integral connection with the abutments which will result in
flexural cracking in the top of the prestressed members. The composite
sections at these locations will be designed as reinforced concrete members.
Crack widths in the insitu slab will be limited to the values of table 1 in BS

Name of Structure M1 Slip Road (River Brent Crossing)
1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway
Over structure: M1 South slip road.
Under structure: River Brent
Over Structure: 50 mph??(TBC)
Existing River Brent concrete trough and the existing M1 Slip Road Bridge
2 SITE DETAILS
The bridge carries the M1 South Slip Road over the River Brent.
Single span fully integral concrete bridge that carries the widened M1
southbound slip over the River Brent.
The bridge has a paved width between kerbs of 13m (including 2 No. 1m hard
strips) and carries 3 lanes of traffic, namely for the A5 (S), A5 (N) and A406
(W). The north verge is 600mm wide and the south verge is 2500mm. The
overall width between the parapet stringcourses is 16.1m.
3.2 Structural type
A prestressed concrete fully integral M/UM type beam deck with an insitu
concrete deck slab supported on piled foundations.

Issue 2
1
3.3 Foundation type
The abutments will comprise of a single row of bored insitu piles joined
together by a concrete pile cap that forms the fully monolithic connection with
the deck.
The south facing slopes of the approach embankments to the bridge will be
supported by cantilever reinforced concrete wingwalls on spread footing. No
wingwalls are required along the north faces because the fill will be retained
by the existing wingwalls.
Single clear square span of 12.87 between abutments. The bridge is skewed
to the River Brent at approximately 42.5º and has a clear skewed span of
approximately 17.5m.

carried out by boat and/or abseiling.

Brief description of options:

1. Single span composite steel-concrete deck (painted or weathering steel)
2. Single span type semi integral M beam prestressed concrete beams
3. Single span insitu concrete deck
4. Abutments constructed using high modulus steel sheet piles
5. Full height abutments supported on piled foundations

1. Viable alternative but economic design likely to result in a deeper
construction depth.
2. Skew greater than 30o but short span of 17.5m permits design of fully
integral bridge.
3. 17.5m span considered to be un-economic for insitu construction unless
slab is voided. Precast beams minimises temporary works and falsework
over the River Brent
4. Possible disturbance of existing concrete trough. (may be possible when
ground conditions are known)
5. Single row of piles more appropriate for integral construction and reduces
depth of excavations alongside existing structures.
Each of the options provides an appropriate technical solution. A single span

structure comprising M and UM prestressed concrete beams has (likely to
have) the lowest estimated capital and whole life cost (TBC) and is therefore
the proposed solution.
As construction is off-line from the existing M1 Slip Road no significant traffic

management is envisaged. Working areas will be provided adjacent to the
proposed structure to facilitate construction operations.

Issue 2
5
During the delivery and lifting of the bridge beams lane closures will be
required as space will be very restricted.
The services fixed to the side of the southern elevation of the existing bridge
will need to be diverted on to the new bridge.
There are no other Statutory Undertakers services (TBC) within the vicinity of
the structure.
There is an existing reinforced concrete bridge alongside the proposed new

structure and a reinforced concrete trough beneath that carries the River
Brent.
The new bridge will over span the existing concrete trough by approximately
1100mm on each side in order to minimize any additional loading on the walls
of the trough structure. The new bridge deck will be located so as to leave a
500mm gap between the stringcourses of the new and existing bridges.
The new bridge minimizes the depths for excavation and by using piled
foundations for the abutments, it should mitigate inducing any instability of the
existing foundations.
Structural and general embankment fill place to support the new M1 south link
against the existing open faces of the adjacent wingwalls will make them
structurally redundant, and consequently reducing any maintenance liability.
The soffit level of the new bridge will be at ??. (TBC with EA, can it be lower
than existing?)

1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway

Over structure: M1 North Link and A406 High Level Flyover
Under structure: A406 (East)

Over Structure: 50 mph (TBC)
Under Structure: 50 mph (TBC

The proposed structure sits between two existing features, namely the A406
High Flyover – avoiding the substructure foundations and the M1 link north
road formation, which will have minimal vertical clearance.
2 SITE DETAILS

The proposed structure carries the proposed A406 (East) road under the
existing M1Link North road

The proposed structure will carry the existing M1 link road over the proposed
M1 (Southbound) and A406 (Southbound) connector roads. It will be a single
span structure of concrete construction.
3.2 Structural type

The proposed bridge will be a closed form reinforced concrete portal structure
constructed from M - beams supported on reinforced concrete frames. The
structure will be fully integral. The embankments will be retained by
reinforced soil walls. The wingwalls, which splay out at approximately 45o, are
also formed from reinforced soil.

Brief description of other options

Draft 1
4
1. Fully integral concrete bridge with bored insitupiled abutments and insitu
concrete deck. Bridge will be constructed in two halves in order to
maintain single lane working on M1 link. Top down construction is
envisaged.
2. Concrete box structure slid into place during weekend closure of M1 north
link road.
3. Abutments are formed inside precast concrete box units thrust through
the embankment; with the integral insitu concrete deck constructed in two
halves to maintain single lane traffic on M1 link.
4. Jacked box through embankment
1. The limited headroom under the A406 high flyover prevents deep piling
and subsequent craneage for beam lifting activeties.
2. Difficulty in installing sheet piled cofferdam under A406. Open cut unlikely
to be feasible because of location of A406 flyover piled foundations.
3. More disruptive to traffic on M1 link and likely to be similar cost to jacked

box option.
4. Expensive.
A temporary diversion of the existing slip road will be constructed to the east
of the existing to allow for uninterrupted access to the bridge site
Statutory Undertakers services (TBC) within the vicinity of the structure will be
diverted

<Title>
1. Location
Brent Cross Roundabout carries the A41 Hendon Way over the A406 and below the
Brent Cross Flyover. The location is as indicated on the plan below:
A41-A406 Brent Cross Roundabout
2. Description
Brent Cross Roundabout carries Hendon Way over the A406. It has an elliptical shape
made up of two parallel bridges forming the long north and south sides, and two sections
supported by retained fill and forming the short semi-circular sides. Four slip roads
connect the A406 and the A41. The roundabout is at an intermediate level above the
A406 and below the Brent Cross Flyover. A pedestrian crossing, suspended from the
soffit of the flyover, runs at the same level of the roundabout and is parallel to both
structures.
Both bridges are straight on plan, except where they meet the slip roads they change to
a transition horizontal curve to accommodate the road alignment. The structures run in
the north-west to south-east direction.
This report will qualify the existing structures that form the roundabout and its slip roads
and will assess the viability of widening the north bridge on the inside lane of the
roundabout, the north east and south west slip roads. Refer to drawing No
D112186/443.
The presence of the flyover's intermediate supports in proximity of the semi-circular
sections rules out any possibility to widen these sections.
<Title>
Flyover Intermediate Supports
3. Proposed Modifications
3.1 Brent Cross North Bridge
Brent Cross North Bridge- General View
Brent Cross North Bridge is a 7-span concrete structure totalling approximately 87m.The
width is approximately 8.84m. Some of the span decks consist of a reinforced cast insitu
<Title>
concrete slab and others of precast pre-tensioned inverted "T" beams. The spans are
structurally independent. Intermediate supports are made up of reinforced concrete piers
with cross head beams except the two piers before the abutments which consist of two
columns with a crosshead beam. These two piers, Pier 2 and Pier 6, as well as
Abutment 1 and Abutment 2, also support the North West and North East slip roads
respectively.
The abutments and intermediate piers are supported on piled foundations.
Widening the north bridge from the inside lane is feasible by using precast pre-tensioned
inverted "T" beams to minimise disruption to the A406 traffic.
However, the presence of the flyover's intermediate supports may infringe the visibility
clearance on the widened section. This issue needs to be closely investigated.
3.2 North East Slip Road
Pier 6 and Pier 16 supporting North East Slip Road Bridge
The north east slip road bridge is supported on a four-span structure at a highly curved
horizontal alignment. The third pier of this structure from the north, Pier 6, and the south
abutment, Abutment 2, also support the roundabout's north bridge.
Widening the slip road deck on the eastern side is feasible by either using precast pre-
tensioned inverted "T" beams, or a solid reinforced concrete slab. Due to the curvature
of the proposed widening, an insitu reinforced concrete slab is preferred.
<Title>
Abutments 2 and 4 will require widening to the east and two new retaining walls to retain
the widened embankment fill will need to be constructed.
Abutment 2 and Pier 6 supporting North East Slip Road Bridge
Abutment 4 and Pier 17 supporting North East Slip Road

<Title>
3.3 Underpass at the East Roundabout Approach
Northern side of Underpass
The approach road to the east of the roundabout is carried by an underpass. The
underpass consists of an 8.1m span reinforced concrete box. The wing walls and head
walls are of reinforced concrete with brick facing. The wing walls are splayed at different
angles.
The side walls of the underpass are monolithically supported on spread footings.
It is anticipated that the underpass will need to be extended in the northern direction to
accommodate the widening of the North East slip road. The northern wing walls and
head wall need to be demolished and new walls constructed.
<Title>
3.4 South East Slip Road
South East Slip Road Bridge- General View
The south east slip road bridge is supported on a four-span structure at a highly curved
horizontal alignment The third pier of this structure from the south, Pier 7, and the north
abutment, Abutment 2, also support Brent Cross South bridge.
At this stage, it is not proposed to widen this slip road. If however widening becomes a
requirement, then a solution similar to widening the north east slip road is feasible.
3.5 Brent Cross South Bridge
Brent Cross South Bridge- General View

<Title>
Brent Cross South is a 7-span concrete structure totalling approximately 87m.The width
is approximately 8.84m. Numbering from east to west, spans 2,6 and 7 are reinforced
cast insitu concrete slabs and the other 4 spans comprise 18 no. precast pre-tensioned
inverted "T" beams. The spans are structurally independent. Intermediate supports are
made up of reinforced concrete piers with cross head beams except the two piers before
the abutments which consist of two columns with a crosshead beam. These two piers,
Pier 7 and Pier 12, as well as Abutment 2 and Abutment 1, also support the South East
and South West slip roads respectively.
At this stage, it is not proposed to widen this bridge. If however widening becomes a
requirement, then a similar solution to the proposed north bridge is feasible.
3.6 South West Slip Road
South West Slip Road Bridge- General View
The south west slip road bridge is supported on a four-span structure at a highly curved
horizontal alignment. The third pier of this structure from the south, Pier 12, and the
north abutment, Abutment 1, also support Brent Cross South Bridge.
<Title>
In order to widen the slip road, a separate structure will need to be constructed at the
west bank of the river. The widened deck would therefore span transversely between the
existing and new structure.
Due to its proximity to the river bank, it is not possible to widen the southern slip road
abutment wall, Abutment 6.
The northern abutment wall, Abutment 1, will require widening to the south in order to
accommodate the widened slip road and a new retaining wall to retain the widened
embankment fill will need to be constructed.
3.7 North West Slip Road
Pier 13 supporting North West Slip Road Bridge
The North West slip road bridge is supported on a three-span structure at a highly
curved horizontal alignment. The structure is also supported on Pier 2, which meets Pier
13 at right angles. The northern abutment of the slip road supports another single span
<Title>
structure running to the west. The scope of this report does not include any potential
work to this structure.
At this stage, it is not proposed to widen this slip road. If however widening becomes a
requirement, then a solution similar to widening the north east slip road is feasible.
3.8 Underpass- U7 Prince Charles Drive
The southbound slip from the A41 onto the roundabout is carried over Prince Charles
Drive by a reinforced concrete underpass. There is limited information regarding the
construction detail of this structure.
The underpass will need to be extended at the north end to accommodate the widened
slip road. This can be achieved by partial demolition of the existing wing walls and
headwall with an extension to the box and new wing walls being constructed.

1.5 I•xisting conditions

19 span railway arch bridge carries the Midland
structure main line
the A406 over
North Circular Road and the surrounding area. At present two of the arches provide
two lanes of traffic in each direction for the east and westbound carriageways of the
A406 at road level. As built drawings obtained from Network Rail indicate clear span
between piers are 30 ft (9.144m). All arches are in the same geometric form and
construction.
1.6 Proposed works

The proposal is to provide four lanes in each direction for the east and westbound
A406 carriageways by opening up the two arches to the north of the currently
trafficked arches with a new carriageway layout. The two arches in question are
currently used by motor vehicle related businesses as workshop'and storage facilities.
During construction of the carriageway, excavation will be to formation level. In
addition the adjacent arch on the south side is being opened up to allow pedestrian
movements.

1 HIGHWAY DETAILS
1.1 Type of highway:
Over structure: Pedestrian footway and cycleway
Under structure: A406 North Circular Road dual carriageway all purpose road
Prince Charles Drive (currently Etheridge Road) unclassified

single carriageway all purpose road
Tilling Road unclassified single carriageway all purpose road
Re-aligned River Brent
1.2 Permitted traffic speed:
Over structure: Not Applicable
Under structure: 40 mph
1.3 Existing Restrictions: The structure is in an urban environment and crosses over a
busy dual carriageway.
2 SITE DETAILS
2.1 Obstacles Crossed: The bridge carries a new pedestrian access to the Brent Cross
Shopping Centre over the A406 North Circular Road, Prince
Charles Drive, Tilling Road, the River Brent and a bus station
access road.
3.1 Description of Structure The structure comprises of two different sections. The main
and Design Working Life: section crossing the A406 North Circular Road, Prince Charles
Drive, Tilling Road and the River Brent will be a three span
continuous composite steel box girder bridge with a concrete
deck.
The southern approach ramp from School Lane will consist of

a three span prestressed beam and in-situ reinforced concrete
slab deck which passes over private property within the
Eastern Lands development zone.
The intermediate piers for all parts of the bridge will be circular
reinforced concrete columns joined at the top with a reinforced
concrete crosshead. The southern end support will be a full
height reinforced concrete abutment. The northern end
support will be a portal frame formed of piers and a crosshead
which will support the Living Bridge, the lower bridge over the
River Brent which provides access to the bus station from
Prince Charles Drive, and part of the shopping centre podium
slab.
The structure will have a design life of 120 years.
BXC 20
October 2013
1
3.2 Structural Type: Continuous composite steel box girder and in-situ concrete
bridge deck. Integral bridge forms will be considered during
preparation of final AIP.
3.3 Foundation Type: Based on previous ground investigation information the

foundations will either be bored and cast in-place reinforced
concrete piles or continuous flight auger reinforced concrete
piles, with reinforced concrete pile caps. Further details of the
foundation types are to be determined when the underlying
geology has been established and Geotechnical Design
Report is available.
3.4 Span Arrangements: The structure is made up of 7 spans with a nominal total length
of 170.5m. The main bridge is formed of 3 no. spans of 34m,
45m and 26m at 0.6° skew to the A406 North Circular Road.
The southern approach ramp has 3 no. spans all 17m and one
span of 14.5m. The northern approach is part of the shopping
centre podium and therefore not part of the Bridge structure.
3.5 Articulation The mains box girder spans will be supported on proprietary
Arrangements: pot type bearings with longitudinal fixity provided at the
southern abutment. Transverse fixity will be provided at each
support.
3.6 Classes and Levels:
3.6.1 Consequence class: CC2
3.6.2 Reliability class: RC2
3.6.3 Inspection level: IL2
3.7 Road Restraint Systems The deck and approaches to the bridge will be provided with
Requirements: metal parapets, minimum 1.4m high complying with BS 7818.
3.8 Proposed Arrangements

for Future Inspection and
Maintenance:
3.8.1 Traffic management: To be determined by the Local Highways Authority, however,

inspections and maintenance activities to the underside of the
part of the structure crossing the A406 North Circular Road will
generally be carried out during lane closures, which given the
volume of traffic may need to be during the night. Access for
inspection or maintenance activities at deck level, such as
replacement of waterproofing, will involve temporary closures
of lanes or the complete structure. Pedestrian diversion routes
would be via Tilling Road, Templehof Bridge and Prince
Charles Drive.
3.8.2 Access arrangements for Access for inspection and maintenance of the top surface of
future inspection and the deck and side spans will be from the top of the bridge
maintenance: above. Inspection and maintenance of the deck soffit and
BXC 20
October 2013
2
bearings will require a platform to be positioned within closed

lanes of the roads beneath the bridge.
3.9 Environment and Conventional construction materials are proposed and

Sustainability: therefore no significant sustainability issues are foreseen.
Consideration will be given to minimising future maintenance
requirements through careful choice of materials for
waterproofing and parapets along with appropriate detailing.
The structure contributes to the wider improvement of the

environment of the Brent Cross Cricklewood Regeneration by
encouraging pedestrian access thereby reducing the reliance
on vehicles. The planters on the bridge will fit within the wider
landscaping scheme which, combined with the River Brent re-
alignment over which the Living Bridge passes, will improve
the local bio-diversity and environment of the area.
The proposed construction methodology aims to minimise the

time required for partial or complete closure of the A406 North
Circular Road.

proposed structure
together with other Alternative structural forms considered include:
structural forms
considered (including  A single span tied or bow string arch. The structure
where appropriate would be supported by 2 no. parallel arches; each
proprietary manufactured formed of a fabricated steel box beam approximately
structures), and the 800mm wide by 400mm deep. The arch rise is 14m
reasons for their rejection and transverse bracing would be required between the
(including comparative arch members to provide stability. The steel and
whole life costs with concrete composite deck would span transversely
BXC 20

dates of estimates): between longitudinal beams, which are supported by

the arch hangers.
 A two or three span through truss arrangement was

also considered. This would be formed of two parallel
vierendeel trusses, with a steel and concrete
composite deck spanning transversely between the
trusses. The trusses would be approximately 5.5m
deep, thereby enabling kiosks or retail units to be fitted
within the truss structure.
The above solutions were rejected in order to maintain the

masterplan vision for the Brent Cross Cricklewood
Regeneration project. Maintaining the Living Bridge as an
attractive open space, which does not feel enclosed and
minimises the feeling of crossing the A406 North Circular
Road is key to delivering the vision for the development.
Whole life costs will be calculated and included in the final AIP.
3.13 Proposed Arrangements

for Construction
3.13.1 Construction of structure Preliminary construction sequence has been considered, but
will require more detailed examination of risks and hazards for
the final AIP. Relevant extracts from the designer’s health and
safety risk assessment for the preliminary stage will be
included in the final AIP when full consideration has been
completed.
The proposed construction methodology is to construct the

bridge off-line in a construction area within Plot 28 on the
southern side of the A406 North Circular Road. Plot 28 is
within the area covered by the Compulsory Purchase Order
and is scheduled for clearance. The construction area is
envisaged to be around 150m long by 40m wide. Ultimately,
this area will form part of the pedestrian access ramp to the
Living Bridge.
Assembly/construction of the bridge would take place on an

elevated launch platform, following which the bridge would be
maneuvered into position over the A406 North Circular Road
using self-propelled modular transporters during a weekend
possession. The A406 North Circular Road, Tilling Road and
Prince Charles Drive would all be required to be closed during
installation.
The southern end of the structure would be supported on

mechanical skates and rails. A nosing may be required at the
northern end of the deck.
Once the bridge is in position, the load can be transferred on

to the permanent supports through a system of vertical jacks.
A detailed analysis of any such installation sequence will be

undertaken during detailed design of the bridge.
The majority of fabrication would be undertaken off-site, with

deliveries of large parts of the structure being via the M1,
Tilling Road, and on to the assembly site at Plot 28.
3.13.2 Traffic Management Traffic management requirements for construction of the

structure will be considered during preparation of the final AIP
and will be dependent on construction of the adjacent
Templehof Bridge and wider Brent Cross/Cricklewood
Regeneration Project. Further information will be included in
the AIP when available.
3.13.3 Service Diversions It is understood that the following services are in the vicinity of
foundations for the bridge and it may be necessary to divert or
re-locate these services in advance of construction, as well as
providing adequate protection to the services during
construction.
 Telecommunications cables, assumed fibre optic

within approximately 8m of the northern abutment and
3m of the southern abutment
 1.4m diameter foul drain at the position of the northern

abutment
 0.675m diameter surface water drain at the position of

the southern abutment
 Low pressure gas supply within approximately 4m of

the northern abutment
 11kV and 3kV underground electricity cables at the

position of the southern abutment
Further work is currently being undertaken to determine

diversion requirements, however is not yet available.
3.13.4 Interface with existing There are no existing highway structures which will be affected
structures: by construction of the new structure.
4 DESIGN CRITERIA
4.1 Actions
4.1.1 Permanent actions: As BS EN 1991-1-1 and NA to BS EN 1991-1-1 the principal

permanent actions are due to steel and concrete self-weight
and surface finishes. The bridge is to feature substantial
planters and the soil fill within these will make a significant
contribution to permanent actions.
4.1.2 Snow, wind and thermal Thermal actions in accordance with BS EN 1991-1-5:2003 and
actions: NA to BS EN 1991-1-5:2003.
Maximum increase in temperature above construction
BXC 20

temperature: To be confirmed in final AIP
Maximum decrease in temperature below construction

temperature: To be confirmed in final AIP
Differential temperature effects through the thickness of the

deck will also be considered.
4.1.3 Actions relating to The structure is not required to carry road traffic actions
normal traffic under AW derived using BS EN 1991-2:2003 Traffic Loads on Bridges
regulations and C&U Light vehicles will be permitted to access this bridge, and the
regulations: global uniformly distributed load will allow for this occasional
vehicle access. Access by vehicles to the bridge will be
controlled through appropriate management procedures
including specification of maximum gross vehicle weight and
5mph speed limit.
4.1.4 Actions relating to The structure is not required to carry abnormal loading, nor
General Order traffic LM3 loading derived using BS EN 1991-2:2003 Traffic Loads

4.1.5 Footway or footbridge Actions on footways in BS EN 1991-2:2003

variable actions:
Concentrated load: 10 kN
UDL: 20 kN/m2
Live load allowance of 20 kN/m2 includes an allowance for

pedestrian access at 5 kN/m2, plus an allowance for very large
planters complete with mature trees, which may be located at
any position on the structure. This high live load provides the
developer and future users of the bridge a degree flexibility for
the final landscaping scheme and potential future changes of
use of the deck.

4.1.7 Accidental actions: Loads on parapets and anchorage for local effects will be to

to BS EN 1991-2:2003 Section 4.7.3 and to the NA to BS EN
1991-2:2003 Section 2.30.
Accidental impact load on bridge piers will be in accordance

1991-1-7:2006 and NA to BS EN 1991-1-7:2006.

4.1.8 Actions during No load cases considered during execution at this stage. It is
construction: likely, however, that the approach to construction and
installation will result in temporary load cases that might be
critical design criteria. These will be examined in more detail
for the detailed AIP.
4.1.9 Any special action not In addition to the loading from the Living Bridge spanning over
covered above: Prince Charles Drive and the River Brent, the northern
abutment will be subject to loading from the adjacent shopping
centre podium slab at the level of the Living Bridge. This
abutment will also be subject to loading from the lower level
bus station access bridge spanning over the River Brent
between Prince Charles Drive and the Bus station beneath the
Living Bridge.
4.2 Heavy or high load route Not applicable.

requirements and
arrangements being
made to preserve the
route, including any
provision for future loads
or future widening:
4.3 Minimum Head Room The minimum headroom for new construction is given in
Provided: TD27/05 as 5.3m + ‘s’ to overbridges and 5.7m + ‘s’ to
footbridges and other structures vulnerable to vehicular
impact, where ‘s’ is a compensation for vertical sag curve.
Additionally, any design deflection under serviceability limit
state loading must not conflict with the relevant standard
headroom.
The Living Bridge will be classified as a pedestrian bridge and

therefore headroom, in accordance with TD27/05, should be
5.7m + ‘s’. It is understood that the difference is because
many footbridges are relatively light and slender and thus
particularly vulnerable to impact damage. However, due to the
size and significant mass that will be present in this case the
standard headroom of 5.3m + ‘s’ is proposed. For the
purposes of design, and until detailed design of highway
alignments has been completed, ‘s’ will conservatively be
taken to be 0.1m. The sum of design deflections and
construction tolerances will be taken to be a maximum 0.1m, if
necessary this could be controlled by pre-cambering beams.
Therefore, the required minimum headroom will be taken to be
5.5m.
Additional headroom will be provided at the northern support

where access is required to the new bus station. Minimum
headroom beneath this support will be 6.0m.

4.6 Proposed Departures In order to minimise the maximum finished floor level of the

from standards given in
4.5: Due to the overall size of the bridge, the overall mass and
construction of the bridge are more akin to those of a standard
overbridge carrying a side road, rather than a conventional
light weight pedestrian bridge. This significant mass means
that the bridge is unlikely to be susceptible to displacement as
a result of horizontal vehicle impact on the parapet string
course or steel beams.
A departure from TD27/05 is therefore sought in order to

permit the standard overbridge headroom of 5.3m + ‘s’ to be
used, rather than the increased 5.5m + ‘s’ normally required
for footbridges.
The design will consider the effects of an accidental horizontal

load applied to the bridge deck in accordance with standards
identified in section 4.1.7. An appropriate load path for this
load will be identified and the elements will be designed to
resist the applied effects.
