1 Purpose
1.1.1 This Technical Standard defines the design and construction interfaces between the
geographically based Main Works Civil Contracts (MWCC) and Rail Systems for tunnel
ventilation and intervention shafts and intervention only shafts, hereafter referred to as
‘shafts’ and the tunnel portal fire fighting points, hereafter referred to as ‘portal’ buildings.
1.1.2 The principal Railway Systems Contracts for Phase 1 are:
 HRS01 – Track and Overhead Catenary Systems
 HRS02 – Tunnel and Lineside M&E including Ventilation, cross passage doors, cross
passages services and fit out, tunnel lighting, tunnel small power, tunnel emergency
signage, permanent tunnel ventilation, open route small power, open route lighting and
points heating.
 HRS03 – Traction and Non-Traction High Voltage Power;
 HRS04 – Communications; including distribution networks for HS2 and the mobile
network operators.
 HRS05 – Command, Control and Signalling; and
 HRS06 – Washwood Heath Depot and Network Integrated Control Centre, including
the shell and core of the building.
1.1.3 Within this Technical Standard the Rail Systems Contractors will be referred to by the
Contract number, e.g. HRS02, in the case of tunnel and line side M&E.
1.1.4 This Technical Standard provides requirements for design and co-ordination with Rail
Systems and constitutes part of the MWCC’s Works Information. These are in addition to the
requirements provided in the Works Information series of documents.
1.1.5 This Technical Standard standardises the Rail Systems that are common across the different
HS2 tunnels to meet HS2 operation and maintenance requirements and defines the Rail
Systems inputs into the MWCC designs.
1.1.6 This Technical Standard provides details of the required Rail Systems spatial provisions, the
associated coordination requirements and works responsibilities.
1.1.7 This Technical Standard provides references to other Technical Standards that describe
MWCC and Rail Systems interfaces in further detail.
1.1.8 This Technical Standard defines the Rail Systems interfaces to the extent that requirements
specified and assumptions made within it for MWCC design will become constraints on the
Rail Systems Contracts.
Template no.:
Revision: P03
1.1.9 This document and the referenced standards will be used by both the MWCC and Rail
Systems contracts throughout the life of the delivery phase of HS2 and are part of the Works
Information for the MWCC and all of the Rail Systems Contractors.
1.1.10 The contracting arrangements for Phase 2A are not determined at the last revision of this
standard. In the interim the general principles of interfaces with the Rail Systems should be
adopted on the basis of the principles established for Phase 1. However, this standard may
require updating to suit the specific Phase 2A contracting strategy once it is decided.
2 General
2.1 Applicability
2.1.1 Any proposed departures from this technical standard requires the acceptance of ‘standard
owner’.
2.1.2 This document shall apply to the intervention shafts and combined ventilation and
intervention shafts associated with long (> 5km) tunnels.
2.1.3 This document shall apply to the fire fighting points associated with the long (> 5km) and
short (<5 km) tunnels.
2.1.4 General requirements for the Contractor’s design and delivery of the works shall be as per the
Works Information.
2.1.5 This standard retains the use of the term ‘fire fighting point’ based on the description given in
the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1303/2014 concerning the technical specification for
interoperability relating to ‘safety in railway tunnels’ of the rail system of the European
Union), (referred to hereafter as the TSI-SRT). In the 2019 of the TSI-SRT this term has been
changed to ‘evacuation and rescue point’. HS2 documents will be progressively updated to
account for the change in TSI but this revision (P03) of this standard retains the terminology of
the 2014 TSI-SRT.
2.1.6 All tunnels greater than 100m long will have at least one fire fighting point located at one of
the portals (which is more than the minimum requirements of the TSI-SRT). All tunnels
greater than 1km long will have fire fighting points at both portals.
2.1.7 Room requirements for Phase 2A tunnels are described in Appendix D of this standard.
2.1.8 General HS2 requirements related to Operation, Maintenance and replacement, Training,
Environment/aesthetics/sustainability/carbon footprint, Health and safety/safety by design,
Design life, Whole-life costs and BIM and asset management considerations shall be as
described in other HS2 standards referenced in the Standards Baseline as part of the Works
Information.

2.2 Relationship with and between HS2 shaft and portal building
standards and specifications
2.2.1 This Technical Standard describes key interfaces between Rail Systems and MEPH systems,
plant and materials that the MWCC will install within shafts and portal buildings.
2.2.2 In cases where the interfaces are complex and/or require more detailed description, the
detailed interface requirements have been included in the most relevant HS2 Technical
Standard for the MEPH systems, plant and materials.
2.2.3 HS2 has prepared Technical Standards for key shaft and portal building MEPH systems, plant
and materials in the following documents:
 Technical Standard – Shaft and Portal Building Electrical Services (HS2-HS2-EL-STD-

000-000002)
 Technical Standard – Shaft and Portal Building Communications and Building

Management Systems (HS2-HS2-EL-STD-000-000003)
 Technical Standard – Shaft and Portal Building Passive and Active Fire Safety Provisions
(HS2-HS2-FI-STD-000-000001)
 Technical Standard – Shaft and Portal Building HVAC (HS2-HS2-ME-STD-000-000003)
2.2.4 The preceding Technical Standards primarily cover key functional and performance
requirements for the associated systems, plant and materials.
2.2.5 Technical Specifications – MWCC MEPH Shaft and Portal Building Materials and
Workmanship (HRS08-WSP-ME-SPE-000-000001 to 000004) shall be used as materials and
workmanship requirements associated with this Technical Standard.
2.2.6 It is recognised that the preceding standards do not cover all of the MEPH systems, plant and
materials that the MWCC will provide. HS2 has provided these standards only in cases where
they consider it important for reasons that include: achieving a high degree of consistency
between the facilities provided by different Contractors; where there is operational criticality;
where there are high degrees of freedom in design; where industry common practice can be
variable; where there are significant numbers of interfaces between systems; where lessons
have been learnt from other similar installations; and, for improved asset management.
2.2.7 For MEPH systems, plant and materials that are not covered by HS2 Technical Standards and
Specifications for Shaft and Portal Buildings each MWCC shall develop the required Standards
and Specifications.
2.2.8 In addition to the Technical Standards outlined in Clause 2.2.3Error! Reference source not
found. related to MEPH systems, plant and materials, HS2 will produce Technical Standards
for Rail Systems. In cases where information about those Rail Systems is very important for
Template no.:
Revision: P03
the MWCC Works this standard references key Rail Systems standards to which the MWCC
must refer. Key Rail Systems standards that are cited in this Technical Standard are:
 Technical Standard – Tunnel Cross Passages (HS2-HS2-ME-STD-000-000002)
 Technical Standard – Tunnel Ventilation (HS2-HS2-RV-STD-000-000001)
2.2.9 The Technical Standard cited for Tunnel Cross Passages is no longer used by Rail Systems and
is instead replaced by separate standards on tunnel cross passage doors and tunnel cross
passage services. The information is these two new standards, insofar as it relates to MWCC
scope, has not changed from Technical Standard – Tunnel Cross Passages and hence that
standard will remain for sole use by the MWCC.
2.2.10 This interface standard does not cover the interface between the cross passage doors and the
civil works within tunnels. A separate interface control document will be used to describe that
interface.
3 Responsibilities
3.1.1 The MWCC shall be responsible for the provision of power supplies, cable containment,
structural fixings and supports, openings and penetrations, communications and other
provisions as defined in the Works Information and this Technical Standard and other
referenced Technical Standards.
3.1.2 The Rail Systems Contractor(s) shall be responsible for the design and delivery of the Rail
Systems element and working with and providing the information necessary to allow the
MWCC to prepare an integrated Rail Systems/Civil design spatial arrangement.
3.1.3 Prior to the appointment of the Rail Systems Contractor(s) the Rail Systems input shall be
provided by HS2 or their nominated representative.
3.1.4 HS2 will appoint the Rail Systems Contractor(s) to prepare the final design, to install and
commission the Rail Systems.
3.1.5 The integrated design prepared by the MWCC will define the parameters and constraints
within which the Rail Systems Contractors will have to work.
4 Design coordination
4.1.1 The MWCC is responsible for preparing a fully integrated, clash free design that provides
sufficient space for the efficient installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and
replacement of the Rail Systems.
Template no.:
Revision: P03
4.1.2 The MWCC shall show on their design drawings and in BIM models the provisions made for
Rail Systems, including cable containment routes and sizes and major equipment sizes, for
example tunnel ventilation fans, dampers, airways, drives, transformers and HV switchgears.
4.1.3 The MWCC shall show on their design drawings and in BIM models the tunnel ventilation
ductwork, dampers, fans and other equipment up until the time that HS2 appoints the Rail
Systems Contractor responsible for the tunnel ventilation system final design (HRS02), after
which that Contractor’s proposals will be adopted in the models.
4.1.4 The MWCC shall coordinate the input of the Rail Systems Contractors and liaise with them
throughout the design and construction of the works.
4.1.5 Notwithstanding the review and assurance requirements in other parts of the Works
Information, the MWCC shall obtain written confirmation from the Rail Systems Contractors
and Others that the design is fully coordinated with the design or works to be delivered by
those parties and accounts for their requirements. An interdisciplinary design certificate shall
be signed by the MWCC and the Rail Systems Contractors and Others to confirm this.
4.1.6 The MWCC shall work with the Rail Systems Contractors, or HS2 representative, in the
preparation of their designs, particularly with respect to layouts, fixing arrangements and
spatial co-ordination as required to achieve the integration of the Rail Systems within the
shafts, tunnels and portal buildings. For example, in the arrangement of the tunnel ventilation
systems airways and equipment.
4.1.7 The MWCC shall be responsible for the coordination and provision of all horizontal and
vertical builders work penetrations for all systems within shafts and portal structures
including, but not limited to Rail Systems that include telecommunications, traction power,
non-traction HV power, tunnel ventilation and the fire main within the tunnel. This
coordination responsibility shall remain with the MWCC up until the point that the Rail
Systems Contractor becomes the Principle Contractor where upon the responsibility for
coordination shall be transferred to the Rail Systems Contractor.
4.1.8 The MWCC shall be responsible for the fire stopping of all their own penetrations within shafts
and portal buildings.
4.1.9 The MWCC shall ensure that Rail Systems penetrations are not oversized to the extent that
more than 200mm of fire stopping in any direction is required of the Rail Systems Contractor.
4.1.10 The MWCC shall identify acceptable and non-acceptable drilling and fixing locations and
maximum support capabilities to allow the Rail Systems Contractors to complete their
designs and installations.
4.1.11 In recognition of the extent of services within shafts, and their potential impact on each other
and the civil works, the scheme design shall include representation of all services with
Template no.:
Revision: P03
pipework diameters over 150mm, cable containment widths over 150mm wide, HVAC ducts
with any cross sectional dimension over 150mm and any HV cables services.
4.1.12 The MWCC shall co-ordinate with the Rail Systems Contractor to confirm the ratings of the
supplies.
5 Room and spatial provisions

5.1.1 The shaft and portal structures shall be designed to provide the rooms as indicated in the
Room Schedule Appendix A for Phase 1 and Appendix D for Phase 2A.
5.1.2 The dimensions of the room shall not be less than the minimum dimensions shown in the
Room Data Sheet shown in Appendix B for the Tunnel Ventilation Control Room, HS2
Communications Room, MNO Communications Rooms, Traction Power Section Isolation
Room, Incoming HV rooms A and B, Transformer Rooms A and B, A/T Switchgear Room, A/T
Transformer Room and A/T Auxiliary and Control room.
5.1.3 The dimensions of the HV incoming rooms vary from location to location. Location specific
feeding arrangements are provided in Appendix D along with location specific minimum
rooms sizes. These dimensions shall take precedent over dimensional requirements shown in
Appendix B.
5.1.4 HV transformer rooms shall have a minimum dimension of 5m x 4m but where practicable
shall be 5m x 5m.
5.1.5 The dimensions of the of the HS2 Communications Room and MNO Communications Rooms
shall conform to the minimum dimensions shown in Appendix B but where this is not
practicable the MWCC shall collaborate with HS2 Rail Systems to understand whether
alternative arrangements may be acceptable to HS2.
5.1.6 The dimensions for the tunnel ventilation system airways and fan rooms are affected by the
nature and patterns of the airflows within the airways and hence the MWCC shall collaborate
with HS2 Rail Systems to develop airway arrangements that provide for a tunnel ventilation
design free of excessive hydraulic resistance and performance risks.
5.1.7 The MWCC shall undertake a space proofing exercise to confirm the required dimensions of all
rooms except those described under Clause 5.1.2 and 5.1.6 above.
5.1.8 The MWCC shall then provide rooms of sizes adequate for the operation and maintenance of
the equipment proposed within them.
5.1.9 The usable space within plant and switch rooms either be rectilinear, or when not rectilinear
shall be demonstrated at all design submittals to be able to accommodate all major
equipment with adequate space for access and maintenance and replacement and submitted
Template no.:
Revision: P03
to HS2 for acceptance. Room entrances and thresholds shall be free of steps and obstructions
that would prevent the use of trolleys for equipment movement.
5.1.10 With the exception of risers, floors shall be solid. Risers may include for grated floors subject
to any Fire Compartmentation requirements being satisfied.
5.1.11 All plant and switch rooms shall be free of structural columns and other obstructions, which
reduce the usable space.
5.1.12 The doors to each room shall be sized and coordinated to easily move in and out all
mechanical and electrical plants installed within these rooms in single or multiple sections,
without the need for complete disassembly.
5.1.13 All corridor widths and bends shall take into account the need to move in and out all
mechanical and electrical plants installed within rooms accessed through the corridors
without the need for complete disassembly of the plants.
5.1.14 The bending radius of cables and the supporting cable containment systems shall be taken
into account when sizing electrical switch rooms, plant rooms, risers, corridors and horizontal
and vertical cable routes and penetrations. The form of separation of electrical switchboards
shall also be considered.
5.1.15 The locations of the rooms relative to each other shall take account of their functional
relationship required for the operation of the Rail Systems in the shafts. This shall be agreed
with the Rail Systems Contractor(s).
5.1.16 For example, LV Rooms and their associated Battery Rooms should be adjacent to each other,
HV Incoming Rooms and Transformer Rooms should be adjacent to each other and above
ground, Tunnel Ventilation Control Rooms should be near the Tunnel Ventilation Fan Rooms
and Shaft LV Services Rooms should be near the entrance.
5.1.17 Multiple instances of each room type shall be provided based on the design of the MEPH
services. For example, multiple mechanical rooms may be required depending on the location
of the room in relation to the duct routes, spaces served and the function of the rooms.
5.1.18 Service risers shall be provided within shafts and sized based on the services needs and access
requirements.
5.1.19 Service risers shall be physically segregated between traction/non- traction HV power cables,
LV cables, communications cables and wet services/HVAC.
5.1.20 Service risers shall be further physically sub-divided if further design development indicates
that this is necessary for the improved resistance to failure of cables or components from
adjacent cable failures including but not limited to as required by BS8519.
5.1.21 Service riser access shall be provided and shall account for the need to allow future installation
access for the Rail Systems Contractors.
Template no.:
Revision: P03
5.1.22 HVAC shall be provided to maintain the environmental conditions described in the Room Data
Sheets in Appendix B of this Technical Standard and as described elsewhere in other HS2
Technical Standards and associated HS2 Technical Specifications.
5.1.23 In providing the HVAC and electrical services it shall be recognised that the services must
operate as a system. Services shall be arranged in a manner that accounts for their
interactions and connectivity and provides for efficient and effective operation, maintenance
and replacement.
5.1.24 No water, drainage or services susceptible to condensation build up shall be routed though
the plant rooms, switch rooms and comms rooms with electrical equipment.
5.1.25 Fire engineering and related inputs shown in Appendix A, B, C and D are preliminary. The
MWCC shall be responsible for the design and provision of fire engineering and fire
compliance of facilities associated with the shafts and portal buildings and shall adapt the
shafts and room provisions to suit.
5.1.26 Fire Engineering Requirements are described further in the document HS2 Technical Standard
– Shaft and Portal Building Passive and Active Fire Safety Provisions.
6 Environmental conditions
6.1.1 Outside environmental conditions shall assume a future climate in the 2080s using data
provided by the UK Climate Change Impacts Programme and based on a medium carbon
emissions scenario at 50% modelling uncertainty.
6.1.2 Future summer 1 % and 0.4% exceedance dry bulb temperatures shall be assumed to be 31.59
and 33.1°C respectively. Future extreme temperatures shall be assumed to be 48°C in summer
and -9.3°C in winter.
6.1.3 Summer tunnel environmental conditions for the long tunnels shall be assumed to transition
from approximately outside conditions at the tunnel entry portal to typically 35°C, but may
reach up to 40°C, at the tunnel exit portal. The exit conditions for shorter tunnels shall be
between the bounds of outside temperature and 35°C.
6.1.4 Winter tunnel environmental conditions for the long tunnels shall be assumed to transition
from approximately outside ambient conditions at the tunnel entry portal to 30°C at the
tunnel exit portal. The exit conditions for shorter tunnels will be between the bounds of
outside temperature and 30°C.
6.1.5 Tunnel relative humidity shall be assumed to vary between 30% and 50% during summer at
the cool end of the tunnel and 20% to 30% at the warm end of the tunnel during winter.
6.1.6 Equipment shall operate without failure under the vibration forces including vibration caused
by the movement of rolling stock and the operation of the railway and associated plant..
Template no.:
Revision: P03
6.1.7 The railway is subjected to the inherent vibration from the movement of trains. The locality of
the equipment near the railway will experience vibration due to this movement. The various
tracks will cause different vibrations at the shaft.
6.1.8 Equipment at shafts exposed to tunnel airflow or close to the tunnels shall be capable of
operations in the summer and winter tunnel environmental conditions.
6.1.9 Equipment within equipment rooms shall be capable of functioning within the room
environmental conditions described in the Room Data Sheets in Appendix B of this Technical
Standard.
6.1.10 Equipment within the tunnel ventilation airways that are required to allow operation of the
shaft in support of train movements and signalling, communications, tunnel ventilation and
fire fighter intervention or fire safety shall be capable of operating in an environment of 150°C
for three hours.
6.1.11 The tunnel ventilation modelling has indicated that smoke temperatures downstream of the
fire and in the tunnel ventilation airways may reach these temperatures for the given fire heat
release rate. It is stressed that such conditions are not intended to be considered as tenable
for passengers or staff.
6.1.12 Systems, both active and passive, exposed to train aerodynamic forces of passing trains shall
withstand these pressure effects.
6.1.13 Pressure leakage through features such as tunnel ventilation system dampers and doors may
allow partial transmission of train aerodynamic forces to areas beyond the trackway. These
aerodynamic forces and pressures shall be accounted for.
6.1.14 Equipment exposed to tunnel pressures shall withstand the fatigue associated with the tunnel
pressure patterns given in Appendix E for the Service Life of the system and equipment.
6.1.15 A margin of 1 kPA shall be added onto the pressure differentials given in Appendix E to
account for calculation uncertainties and local pressure effects.
6.1.16 The data in Appendix E accounts for rolling stock parameters that are anticipated as being
operated on HS2. However, they do not account for the least aerodynamic rolling stock that is
credible. Neither do they account for pressures arising from higher density air on cooler days
nor modelling uncertainty. For these reasons the following data provides data for ultimate
structural loading purposes and includes a service factor of 1.4 to account for these
considerations.
6.1.17 Elements within tunnels exposed to tunnel to tunnel differential pressures, for example track
isolation dampers and supporting structure, floors/walls between tracks or between tracks
and plenums and cross passage doors shall be rated against fatigue effects for a differential
pressure loading of 13.0 kPA for bored tunnels and 15.4 kPA for cut and cover tunnels.
Template no.:
Revision: P03
6.1.18 It is clarified that for cross passages at the base of shafts, where the cross passage is
hydraulically shared with a fire fighters lift, the pressure leakage through naturally occurring
gaps around the lift doors is expected to relieve this pressure and result in pressure
fluctuations of less than 100 Pa in these spaces.
6.1.19 Elements connected to tunnels via leakage paths, but that are not subjected to tunnel to
tunnel differential pressures, shall be rated for an ultimate differential pressure loading of 6.6
kPA for bored tunnels and 10 kPA for cut and cover tunnels.
6.1.20 In the above clause it shall be assumed that doors and track isolation dampers are leakage
paths. Such elements shall include fan isolation dampers, tunnel ventilation ductwork, tunnel
ventilation plenum walls and bypass dampers. Such elements shall not include internal riser
walls where they are permanently sealed at interfaces with tunnels and do not include
potential leakage paths such as tunnel-facing doors.
6.1.21 Differential pressure loadings shall be assumed to regularly fluctuate between positive and
negative values, for example from +13.0 kPA to -13 kPA depending on the relative positions of
the trains.
6.1.22 Equipment shall be capable of operating for its design life in the conditions in which it will be
exposed.
6.1.23 Equipment and materials exposed to tunnel air shall be capable of operating for its design life
in a railway environment, including possible contamination from mineral dust particles and
construction products dust particles present during commissioning and pre- tunnel cleaning.
Evidence shall be provided of sustained successful operation under such conditions.
6.1.24 During the initial operation phase in the HS2 tunnels, where higher levels of dust associated
with construction are likely to be present, there may be additional challenges arising from
dust from construction and metal particle dust from rail grinding. The dust concentration shall
be monitored and reported to HS2 and the need for additional temporary filtration and/or
additional cleaning identified.
6.1.25 It is assumed that there is minimal risk of gas ingress into the tunnels and shafts and that the
tunnels and shaft walls will include a high degree of sealing. Accordingly, the Rail Systems
equipment are not specified as being suitable for hazardous environments.
6.1.26 During the construction, testing and commissioning works the tunnel and shaft environment

air and to vacuum the splitters of the sound attenuators to remove materials that may
compromise the acoustic performance of the system.
16.3.25 After cleaning the HRS02 shall verify the acoustic and airflow performance of the system as
being like that during initial onsite measurements when the system is clean. In the event of
any loss of performance further cleaning shall be carried out until the performance is

Notes
1. Need for sump to be determined by MWCC based on vertical alignment.
2. LV Switchroom to also accommodate feeders for the air curtain fan rooms and hence MWCC must account for this in their room sizing.
3. New room type and dimensions to be taken from those shown in HRS08 Tunnel Ventilation System Design Statement – Victoria Road Crossover Box (HRS08-WSP-RV-DES-SS04-000001)
4. An ATS compound is required to be located at the east portal of the short Bromford tunnel. Due to the extension of this tunnel, this ATS compound will be moved to the new east portal. MWCC to liaise with HS2 to confirm latest
design intent
5. The depth below grade of the Bromford tunnel portals is not clear at revision P03 of this document. It has been assumed that the tracks will be at a depth of more than 3m below the fire fighting point and hence a fire fighting core
and escape stair are assumed.

1. The number and arrangement of the incoming rooms at any portal will be dependent on the nature of the incoming supply which may be variable for each tunnel. The MWCC shall liaise with HS2 to understand the power
arrangements at each portal and then propose the number and nature of rooms at each portal based on the location specific circumstances. See HS2-HS2-UT-STD-000-000001 - Requirements for Operational Utility Connections for
further details.

24 Appendix E – Tunnel Pressure Cycles

24.1 General
24.1.1 The interpretation of peak to peak pressure changes for the short tunnels, an in particular
where both tunnel bores are separated by a single door, are affected by time interval over
which the data is analysed.
24.1.2 Table 1 shows the predicted annual number pressure cycles between tunnel bores in a given
pressure range.

24.1.3 The data for the short tunnels in Table 1 has been post processed over two time intervals.
Figure 1 illustrates the time intervals and the impacts on the peak to peak pressure cycles. For
the magenta pressure trace a tunnel to tunnel peak to peak pressure cycle of 17 kPA is
predicted with a positive peak of approximately +11 kPA pressure differential across the door
and a negative peak of -6 kPA pressure differential. The interval between these two peaks is
influenced by the train separation within each tunnel bore. This has been referred to as a
‘short’ duration peak to peak in Table 2.
Template no.:
Revision: P03
24.1.4 At the next train passage (blue pressure trace) 180 seconds later it is possible that the exact
opposite train passing pattern may occur which would result in a positive peak of 6 kPA and a
negative peak of -11 kPa. Again, the predicted peak to peak pressure cycle is 17 kPa.
24.1.5 When the two 180 second periods are taken together the total pressure change would be from
+11 to -11 giving a peak to peak pressure cycle of 22 kPa. Such cycles are termed ‘long’
duration cycles in Table 1. The Contractor must determine which cycle represents the
appropriate case in undertaking any fatigue calculations.
24.1.6 Table 2 and Table 3 contain a time series of predicted pressure changes over a 4.5 hour period
of randomly-ordered train operations. Minor pressure changes have been removed to provide
a filtered list of pressure changes of significant peak to peak variations.
