T5D Attenuator Overhaul (Survey / RIBA 4iii) Scope

The T5D Rail-tunnel Ventilation Shaft is located adjacent to T5D at its North and can be accessed from the bottom (Level 6) via the trackside of the HEX tunnel or from the top (level 7) via Airside.

The objective is to replace the four attenuators in the T5D Shaft because they are at their end of life. The renewal of the T5D attenuators aims to reduce the risk of debris entering fans, tunnels and station, prevent the fans from failing in any fire scenario and provide ventilation and smoke clearance for the Heathrow Rail Tunnels. This improves safety conditions in Heathrow Rail Tunnels and improves resilience of systems. In addition, less maintenance and repair are required for the attenuator.

Each attenuator is formed of four quadrants weighing around 1160 kg.

Review MEP systems along the airflow and advise replacement/modification to bring them up to compliance.

Surveys will be carried out by MEP Subcontractor under the direction of the Design Consultant (Employed by the Client).

Item Question

Q1 What capability do you have of understanding the requirements for replacing attenuators etc., considering the constraints of an operational rail network?

Q2 What capability do you have of carrying out a survey of the T5D Shaft during non-operational hours to provide all the information required to complete the RIBA 4ii design by the Design Consultant and the RIBA 4iii by the MEP Subcontractor?
