Entry 8 – Hyde Park Square via stairs from 227 Elizabeth Street building sliding door entrance on Bathurst Street (located on the north-western side of the Elizabeth and Bathurst Street intersection)

4.1.5 Hours of work

Standard work hours for TfNSW projects are Monday to Friday 7.00 am to 6.00 pm and Saturday 8.00 am to 1.00 pm. Weekend rail possessions are 24 hours per day starting from 9.00 pm on Friday. Weeklong rail possessions are 24 hours per day.

The proposal would require some works to occur outside the standard working hours. For example it is proposed to conduct works in Elizabeth Street at night time and works within the station pedestrian tunnels during rail possessions. There are likely to also be works conducted during the weekend day and night. Approval from TfNSW for any out of hour’s works would be required and the affected community would be advised. Out of hours works would be conducted in accordance with TfNSW’s Rail Infrastructure Noise Guideline 2013. Any works that will impact station and rail operations or potentially block station access with no alternative route will be confined to rail possession periods.

4.1.6

Site access and parking

Vehicular access is proposed to the site from Elizabeth Street as shown in Figure 4.1. This would take place across a footpath with high pedestrian volumes and a heavily utilised bus stop nearby. Therefore vehicular access across the footpath would require traffic control to manage the movement of pedestrians during vehicular movements.

Larger construction vehicles which do not require direct site access will be accommodated by the provision of a work zone located on Elizabeth Street as shown in Figure 4.1. This work zone would operate between the hours of 10.00 am to 3.00 pm and would replace approximately 50 m of existing parking (eight parking spaces). The work zone is likely to be required for 12 months.

Vehicles utilising this work zone would comprise of semi-trailers delivering major components and concrete trucks for major pours. Major components would be lifted by crane from the road into the site. The footpath would be temporarily closed to pedestrians during the lifting period (no longer than five minutes at a time). Accredited Traffic Controllers will also be deployed at these times to manage not only pedestrian traffic but also passing vehicular traffic during the actual lifting activity. Concrete would be delivered to the site via agitator trucks accessing from Elizabeth Street. No on-street activity would occur during the AM and PM peak periods.

Consultation with the City of Sydney regarding temporary work zones and the temporary removal of on-street parking would be required. For further details about permits and road occupancy licences refer to

section 4.4.

4.1.6.1

Staff parking

A maximum of approximately 40 construction staff would be located on the work site at any one time. To reduce impact on the area surrounding the site it is not proposed to provide for construction staff parking. Construction staff will be expected to make their own way to the site and if choosing to drive, can utilise the nearby parking stations.

4.1.7

Construction vehicle types and volumes

Construction vehicles will require access to the site for the following: removal of debris and spoil

importation of fill

delivery of lift and ventilation components.

It is expected that spoil excavated for the top down construction of lift shafts will be contaminated (general solid waste) and will need to be removed from the site. Clean material would be imported to the site for use as fill. The removal of debris and spoil will be by small dump truck (10 tonne class).

Delivery of the majority of materials and machinery would be by utility, hiab trucks or small tippers. However major components may require semi-trailer access. Concrete deliveries will be by standard concrete agitator trucks. A full list of plant and equipment at the construction site is provided in Appendix D.

The total vehicle volumes for work could be as high as 25 vehicles per day, with an average of 12 to

20 vehicles per day. Assuming standard working hours this equates to an average of about two vehicles per hour. Potentially a maximum of five vehicles per hour could access the site during peak activity periods. The number of vehicles accessing the work site is not expected to exceed more than five vehicles per hour at any time.

4.1.7.1

Scheduling of construction vehicles

Construction vehicles accessing Site 1 via Elizabeth Street would generally access at any time that work occurs. This would include work undertaken within the standard working hours as well as any work planned during the night and weekend. Consideration for events would need to be made.

Construction vehicles accessing the site via the on-street work zone parking area would be limited to hours outside of the bus lane hours (6.00 am and 10.00 am and 3.00 pm to 8.00 pm Monday–Friday). This works zone would be used primarily for material deliveries to Site 2.

4.1.7.2

Provision for over-dimensioned vehicles

No over-dimensioned vehicles are expected for this project.

4.1.8

Proposed haulage routes

For work site 1 arrival routes would be southbound only along Elizabeth Street in to the site. Departure would be southbound via Elizabeth Street and either continuing along Elizabeth Street or turning in to Liverpool Street.
