Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

1 Introduction

1.1 Design Brief


Arup has been appointed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) to undertake
a preliminary design of the proposed Blanchardstown to City Centre Core Bus
Corridor (CBC) Scheme (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Proposed Scheme’) of the
BusConnects CBC network. Arup’s appointment includes the preliminary design
of structures including modifications, on this Proposed Scheme.
This report includes the considerations and assumptions made during the
preparation of the preliminary design of the retaining wall structures on the
Blanchardstown to City Centre Core Bus Corridor.

1.2 Project Background


The BusConnects Dublin Programme is a plan to transform Dublin’s bus system,
with the Core Bus Corridor (CBC) project providing 230 km of dedicated bus
lanes and 200 km of cycle tracks across sixteen of the busiest bus corridors in and
out of the city centre. The project is fundamental to addressing the congestion
issues in the Dublin region with the population due to grow by 25 % by 2040. In
June 2018 the National Transport Authority (NTA) published the Core Bus
Corridors Project Report, which sets out the vision for the provision of bus lanes
and cycle tracks on sixteen key bus corridors.
The Blanchardstown to City Centre CBC is identified in this document as forming
part of the radial Core Bus Network. The BusConnects Dublin Core Bus Network
is shown in Figure 1.

Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

Figure 1: BusConnects Dublin Radial CBC Network

The Proposed Scheme commences at Junction 3 (Blanchardstown / Mulhuddart)


southbound off-slip from the N3. The Proposed Scheme proceeds along the R121
Blanchardstown Road South into the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre.
From a new terminus to the north-west of Blanchardstown Shopping Centre the
Proposed Scheme is routed onto the N3 Navan Road via the Snugborough Road
junction and follows the N3 and Navan Road as far as the junction with the Old
Cabra Road. From here, the Proposed Scheme is routed along Old Cabra Road,
Prussia Street, Manor Street and Stoneybatter to the junction with King Street
North. The core bus corridor is then routed via Blackhall Place as far as the
junction with Ellis Quay, where it joins the prevailing traffic management regime
on the North Quays. At the Stoneybatter / Brunswick Street North junction,
cyclists proceed along Brunswick Street North, George’s Lane and Queen Street
as far as Ellis Quay/Arran Quay.

1.3 Previous Studies


The first non-statutory public consultation on the BusConnects CBCs took place
on a phased basis between November 2018 to May 2019. The second round of
public consultations occurred between March 2020 to April 2020. A third round
of public consultations then followed between November 2020 and December
2020.
Consultation with the principal project stakeholders (i.e. Dublin City Council,
Fingal County Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland, An Garda, Utility
companies and the National Transport Authority) has also taken place.
A desktop study was undertaken to identify the existing structures within the
project extents, with site inspections undertaken where information was limited.

2.2 Function of Structure and Obstacles Crossed


The purpose of these retaining walls is to maintain the required ground level in the
areas that are affected by the proposed new elements of the bus corridor, where
the height difference is too high to be maintained with an embankment.

2.3 Choice of Location


Walls are located where geometric constraints don’t allow for traditional
earthworks batters to be contained within the site boundaries.

2.4 Site Description and Topography


The surrounds comprise of a brownfield site, with walls located adjacent to
existing carriageways and road embankments.

2.5 Vertical and Horizontal Alignments


Refer to the road design drawings for the proposed vertical and horizontal road
alignments along the scheme.

3 Structure and Aesthetics

3.1 General Description of Recommended Structure


A number of the retaining walls contained in this report consist of a reinforced
concrete cantilever wall, supported on a cast in-situ spread footing, with footing
widths varying depending on the design requirements. RW03 comprises a soil nail
wall as described below.
Fingal County Council will be responsible for maintaining the structures and
adjacent access paths once constructed.

3.1.1 Retaining Wall RW01


A row of mature trees is located at the top of the embankment at this location. The
footing for retaining wall RW01 has been offset towards the front of the wall to
minimise the extent of excavation behind the wall and limit the potential impact
on the trees at the top of the embankment. The slope behind the wall comprises a
1V:2H slope, tying into the top of the embankment.

Figure 7: RW01 – Typical Cross Section

3.1.2 Retaining Wall RW03


The existing cut slope adjacent the R147 outbound lane, as it approaches the M50
junction, is required to be widened to accommodate a bus stop at this location. To
limit the extent of the cutting, it is proposed to construct a soil nail wall with a 20-
degree inclination to the vertical. The soil nails will comprise a passive system of
fully grouted galvanised steel bars. The bars will be fixed to a shotcrete facing,
which will then be covered with in-situ concrete. The concrete face will be
patterned/profiled to provide for an aesthetic finish to the exposed wall. Vertical
strip drains will tie into a subsurface drainage pipe at base of the wall, which will
discharge to the road drainage system. A drainage channel will collect any run-
off water at the top of the wall to prevent it running down the exposed face.

Figure 8: RW03 – Typical Cross Section

3.1.3 Retaining Wall 07-A and RW07-B


Retaining walls RW07-A and RW07-B are required to provide access from Mill
Road to the proposed bus stops either side of the N3. They comprise a
combination of ramps and stairs catering for pedestrian access.
RW07-A provides access to the bus stop on the N3 outbound carriageway and is
located to the southeast of Mill Road Bridge. It comprises several small-height
retaining walls, with a maximum retained height of 1.5 m. The layout of the
ramps and stairs are set out to minimise the impact on the adjacent Millstead
Estate, with the access ramp running parallel to the existing boundary. These
ramps have a slope of 1V:25H.

Figure 9: RW07-A – Typical Section through access ramp

RW07-B provides access to the bus stop on the N3 inbound carriageway, located
to the northwest of Mill Road Bridge. It comprises several retaining walls, with a
maximum retained height of 3.0 m. The access ramp was originally positioned to
the northeast of Mill Road but was subsequently moved to the northwest

following an environmental review of its potential impact on the Tolka River and
the associated Alluvial Woodland, which is an Annex 1 Habitat.

Figure 10: RW07-B – Typical Section through access ramp

These ramps and stairs will accommodate a 32.0 m path between handrails, with
the ramps inclined at a maximum slope of 1V:20H. The geometry of the ramps
and the stairs have been detailed to the National Disability Authority’s guideline
“Building for Everyone: A Universal Design Approach”.
The walls will be clad in a masonry stonework façade that will improve its visual
impact and deter graffiti vandalism.

3.1.4 Retaining Wall RW09


Retaining wall RW09 comprises a reinforced concrete spreadfoot cantilever
retaining wall. The wall is required to retain the widened N3 embankment from
spilling into the adjacent Castleknock health & leisure centre.

Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

3.2 Aesthetic Considerations


The walls follow conventional forms. Walls which are exposed to high levels of
pedestrian activity, such as RW01, RW07-A and RW07-B, will be clad in
masonry stonework. RW09, which is set back from public passage, will comprise
a Reckli patterned concrete finish (or approved equivalent). The shotcrete façade
to RW03 will be finished off with a profiled/patterned cast in-situ concrete face,
to be agreed with the urban designer.

3.3 Proposals for the Recommended Structure

Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

3.3.8 Articulation Arrangement, Joints & Bearings


Nominal 20 mm vertical movement joints will be used between sections of wall to
allow for natural expansion and contraction of the concrete. Stainless steel dowel
bars will be used to control differential displacement of the wall sections.

3.3.9 Vehicle Restraint System


Where walls present a hazard within the clear zone, a Vehicle Restraint System
(VRS) will be provided in accordance with DN-REQ-03034.
Retaining walls RW07-A & RW07-B are located adjacent a bus stop. The bus
stop and adjacent bus lane is protected by a VRS system mounted on the raised
island which separates the bus lane from the N3.The bridge parapets will align
and tie into a bespoke concrete wall barrier integrated into the retaining wall for
the stairs.
Retaining wall RW09 is located within the clear zone of the adjacent carriageway.
A road VRS system is proposed at the back of the footpath in front of the wall.

3.3.10 Drainage
A permeable drainage layer will be provided behind the in-situ concrete retaining
walls in accordance with CC-SPW-00500 and will provide positive outfall from a
one end to the other of the structure and will connect to the mainline road
drainage.
For the soil nail wall, vertical strip drains will be placed against cut slope prior to
the application of the shotcrete. These will connect to a subsurface drainage pipe
placed beneath the toe of the wall.

3.3.11 Durability
The structures will comprise reinforced concrete, which is a highly durable
material. Concrete specification and cover to reinforcement will be in accordance
with TII publication DN-STR-03012 (Design for Durability).

3.3.12 Sustainability
Recycled GGBS will be used in the design and construction of some of the
concrete elements of the structure leading to a more sustainable structure overall.

3.3.13 Inspection and Maintenance


The proposed structures are of reinforced concrete construction, with the working
design life for the structure being 120 years (Working Life Category 5). It is
expected that the structure will have minimal maintenance and inspection
requirements.

Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

6 Ground Conditions
A geotechnical desktop study of the area has been undertaken using existing GI
information where available. Where identified, supplementary GI information was
requested to increase the understanding of the geological conditions at targeted
locations across the scheme.
The local stratigraphy at each retaining wall location has been developed based on
the desk top study and is described for each wall location below.

6.1 Retaining Wall RW01


The ground conditions comprise Made Ground over Till derived from Limestone
over Limestone. The two closest exploratory locations, namely R05-TP01 and
R05-CP01, verify this stratigraphy. The thickness of Made Ground varies from
approximately 1.3 m to 3.4m. Based on the log descriptions the Made Ground is
likely to be reworked Boulder Clay. The SPT tests show that the Made Ground is
very stiff. The thickness of Dublin Boulder Clay ranges from around 0.3 m to
1.6 m. The proposed retaining wall is expected to be founded on Dublin Boulder
Clay or reworked Dublin Boulder Clay.

6.2 Retaining Wall RW03


The local stratigraphy comprises Made Ground over Till derived from Limestone
over Limestone. As part of the site-specific GI two trial pits, namely R05-TP08A
and 09, were excavated close to the proposed RW03 location. The GI results
verify the stratigraphy of the overburden (rockhead and rock type was not
verified). The logs present Topsoil (0.2m thick ) over Made Ground (0.6m to
1.2m thick) over Till derived from Limestone (Dublin Boulder Clay, 0.0m to 1.4m
thick). The nature of the Made Ground varies highly. R05-TP08A encountered
granular Made Ground while R05-TP09 recorded cohesive material which is
likely to be reworked Made Ground.

6.3 Retaining Wall RW07-A & RW07-B


The ground conditions at the proposed locations consist of Made Ground over Till
derived from Limestone over Mudstone. The desk study also presents areas where
bedrock outcrops. RC03, RC04 were drilled, R05-TP05B and TP06 were
excavated close to the proposed structures. The ground investigation encountered
Topsoil and Made Ground or Till derived from Limestone. Ground investigation
verified that bedrock is shallow. The proposed retaining walls will be founded on
existing road embankment material and on Mudstone.

6.4 Retaining Wall RW09


This wall was introduced after the supplementary GI for the scheme was
undertaken. Hence there is no site-specific GI at this location.

Preliminary Design Report - Retaining Walls

Publicly available information was reviewed as part of the desktop study across
the scheme. The available information indicates the ground profile at this location
comprises made ground upon Glacial Gravel and/or Glacial Till. Rock appears to
be shallow ranging from 1 to 3m below ground level (based on GSI info).

RW09 was added at a later stage. Therefore, no site specific


GI has been carried at or close to proposed RW09 location.
To assist with the preliminary stage of the design, a few
snapshots taken from GSI webpage were put together.

Approximate location of RW09

RW09 was added at a later stage. Therefore, no site specific


GI has been carried at or close to proposed RW09 location.
GSI webpage and site specific desk study show Gravels
derived from Limestone at proposed location. Till derived
from Limestone are present close to the proposed location.
No sign of soft soil at the area.
