Definitions

  • This invention relates to the construction of platforms for railway stations.
  • DE-A-43 16 203 discloses a prefabricated platform unit for construction of a railway station platform.
  • the unit has a stepped upper surface comprising a forward portion, on which edge copers are to be mounted, and a rearward portion, with a step rising between the forward and rearward portions, the forward portion being planar.
  • the unit is 6 - 8 m wide (the dimension along the track) and 2.5 - 4 m deep (the dimension away from the track).
  • the unit includes integral cross members extending along the underside of the unit, adjacent its side edge surfaces, and integral longitudinal members extending along the underside of the unit, between the cross members and adjacent the front and rear side edge surfaces of the unit, so that the unit resembles a downwardly open box.
  • the unit is bulky and difficult to manoeuvre.
  • transverse beams are mounted on concrete foundations and the platform units are mounted on the transverse beams, each transverse beam supporting two cross beams belonging to two adjacent units.
  • the invention provides a railway station platform structure as set forth in claim 1.
  • the invention provides a method of constructing a railway station platform structure, including the following steps:
  • Each prefabricated platform unit or slab unit 1, shown in Figures 1 to 3, is a pre-cast concrete unit incorporating a reinforcing mesh 2 (not shown).
  • the slab unit 1 has a mostly planar bottom surface 3 and a stepped upper surface 4.
  • the slab unit has a nominal width of 2 metres (for example) and has a rectangular outline when viewed from above. In general, the length of the slab unit from its front edge to its rear edge is at least equal to its width. Exemplary dimensions, in millimetres, are indicated in Figure 3.
  • the slab unit has a front edge surface 6, a rear edge surface 7, and side edge surfaces 8,9, all of which are vertical surfaces.
  • the upper surface 4 has a rebated forward portion 4a which is planar and parallel to the bottom surface 3, a rearward portion 4b which is planar and slopes downwardly and rearwardly from its front edge to its rear edge, and a step 4c which rises vertically between the forward and rearward portions 4a,4b.
  • the step 4c extends across the width of the slab unit, parallel to its front edge surface 6.
  • the platform units or slab units 1 illustrated are longer from front to back than their individual width and are used in the construction of a new platform structure, which may be an extension to an existing platform structure.
  • the rearward portion 4b of the upper surface 4 has a gradual slope (1 in 50) from front to back, and there is a raised plinth 27 near the rear edge surface 7 of the slab unit 1.
  • a drainage outlet 28 is provided in the front surface of the plinth 27.
  • One side edge surface 9 has a key formation 29 for fitting in a recess or groove 31 in the opposite side edge surface 8 of an adjacent slab unit so as to prevent relative vertical movement of the adjacent slab units.
  • the bottom surface of the slab unit 1 has integrally cast projections 32 for a purpose to be explained below.
  • One slab unit 1 has a recess 33 in one edge, for receiving a lighting column (not shown).
  • a first embodiment of a platform structure incorporating the slab units 1 shown in Figure 1 will now be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3, by describing the steps involved in its method of construction.
  • steps (2), (3), (7), and (11) do not require track possession.
  • the design of the platform structure ensures that the other steps, which will normally require track possession, can be carried out quickly and in separate stages.
  • a second embodiment of the platform structure will now be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5.
  • the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment only in using piles instead of strip foundations. Accordingly, the above description, except for step (2), is applicable to the second embodiment and will not be repeated.
  • step (2) is replaced by the step of preparing the ground and inserting piles 36a into the ground at the intended locations of the supporting columns 37, which are subsequently constructed on the piles.
  • the lengths of the-cross beams 38 and the number of longitudinal beams 42 between each pair of cross beams may be varied to suit different platform widths (front to back).
  • a platform width of less than 3 metres (for example 2.5 metres) two longitudinal beams 42 may be sufficient.
  • three longitudinal beams 42 may be sufficient.
  • four longitudinal beams should be used.
  • the position of the front longitudinal beam in relation to the front end of the cross beam will be the same in each case, so that pre-cast concrete manufacture of the cross beams can to some extent be standardised.
  • the side edges of one or more of the slab units may be non-parallel, either converging or diverging away from the front edge, one or both of the side edges not being perpendicular to the front edge.
  • Cable-tray receiving grooves 47 may be provided in more than two of the longitudinal beams 42, and additional holes 41 may be provided in the cross beams 38 if one or more additional cable trays are fitted using these grooves.
  • edge copers and tactile paving elements instead of fitting the edge copers and tactile paving elements on the slab units after the installation of the slab units, it may be possible to fit them on the slab units before the slab units are mounted on the supporting structure. It may also be possible to combine the tactile paving elements with the edge copers, or to omit the tactile paving elements.
  • the edge copers and tactile paving elements may be omitted and for the upper surface of the slab unit to be provided with a suitably textured finish.
  • the rebated forward portion may be omitted or reduced in size to receive a relatively narrow edging strip (e.g. of stainless steel) set in epoxy mortar for example.
  • the platform structure can be provided at any trackside location where it may be desired to bring a train to a halt in order to allow passengers or train operating staff to board or alight from the train or to attend to the maintenance of the exterior of the train.
